GENTs-Some one over the signature OF "Des
Moines" asks the question to be informed by
you if William Vandever, Esq, now the nomi-
nee of the Republican Party of this State for
Congress in the I'd district is or is not the same
William Vandever who surveyed govern ental
lands in Wapelo county some Is or IA years
ago. Now wish to answer "Des Moines" by
stating that lie is not the same man, but anoth-
er of the same name. This gentleman was a
clerk in the office Of the Commissioners OF the
general land Office at Washington city, when Gen.
Geo. B. Sargent was appointed by Presi lent
Fillmore Surveyor General Of Iowa and Wiscon-
sir and was engaged by General Sargent when
at Washington as second clerk in his Office at
Dubuque, in which position he remained until
General Sargent resigned in 1854. Mr.. vande.

signed and went back to Blackstone and Gritty.

PREVALENCE OF HEATHENIsM-At a recent
union meeting of the Presbyterian churches Of
Elizabeth, n. j., Rev. DR.. Riggs, who is about
departing as missionary to foreign lands, pre-
scented this melancholy report Of the progress
Of the work OF evangezing the world:
He said, Christ assembled eighteen hundred
years ago, and since that time men have been
striving to spread the gospel, but uP to this pc
riod three-iourhs of the inhabitants of the
globe are in heather darkness, only one fourth
having embraced Christianity, and fifteen six
teenths OF the world stand where they did when
Christ was on earth. The harvest, therefore, il
great, and the time to gather in this harvest is
short; for in thirty years whole race will be
swept away. Only one missionary exists in the
heather world to $4,000 inhabitants! Fancy
the State of New Jersey with only one preacher,
and thirty years passing before that one be-
comes two!'

The New York Herald, after showing very
clearly that the Democratic party is .'totally

party is mo better" than the Democratic, saws
that this is con dition of things for which the
country has to thank the firm and sagacious ad.

not upon party grounds, but upon considera-
tons OF high national policy" The country
certainly ought to be extremely thankful to Mr..
Buchanan for totally demoralizing SO large a
portion of its citizens. We fear, however, if
Mr. Buchanan goes on demoralizng at this rate
until the end of his term, there will hardly be
enough honest men left to thank him for cor.

HORRIBLE IsHUMANITY TO CHILp-A man
| named VIM. Laliy. residing on Sixth street,
below Baum, was yesterday brought before
Judge Fruden, upon the charge of attempting
to stdrUe las omn child to DEATH 1t appears that
some two or three weeks since Laiy married
second wife, and since that time the little child
in question, which is only between two and
three years OF age, has been compelled to re-
main in the wood shed, both day and night,
with scarce food enough to sustain life. II had
become feariu,ly emacated, and presented an
appearance calculated to excite the sympathies
OF the most indifferent. Some of the neigh
bors asccrtained the fact that the child was con-
fined in the shed, and finally insisted upon an
investigation, when it was discovered that the
previous rumors were indeed true. When they
gave the child food it devoured it most raven
ousiy, thereby giving the lie to the assertion
OF the father that he had offered the child food,
but that it would not eat. The only excuse
Lally made for bis inhuman conduct, when ar
rested, was, that the child sick, and smet
so badly that it was very offensive to have it in
the house So he thrust the little thing into
the woodshed to starve. DR.. Walker, who ex.
amined the child, said it was afflicted with no
disease whatever, but was suffering from starva-
ton only.
Judge Pruden advised that the new wife. un
der whose eye the jnhuman treatment had been
carried on, should also be proceeded against,
and she was taken into custody by an officer
