RESThe Vincennes Gazette intimates n
design, If there should be chance, through
the schisms in the Democratic ranks, Ito
elect one of their own party 10 Congress,
that the Republicans should nominate
candidate and try their strength. We 90
not believe the suggestion win be approved
by any portion Of the party respectable for
numbers or influence. Such a course would
be treacherou5 TO Judge Hoyey and suicidal
to those who should make the attempt; for
in the movement they would not have the
oountenance either of the German Republic
cans, nor Of the Native Americana. With
out the support of these parties, what could
the Republicans effect in this District? The
vote for Fremont-in which the Germans
united with them-Show5 their extreme
weakness and the folly of bringing for
ward a candidate of their own, under any
circumstances. The suggestion must have
come from Lecomptonite in disguise, for
the result of the attempt would inevitably
be the election of Judge Niblack. The
Bright men would exult over such a diyi-
sion of the Auti-Lecompton strength as
giving a sure and easy victory to their NOM
inee The Republican who lends himself
to this intrigue will betray Ike cause and
principles he processes to support, and give
the triumph to his most inveterate oppo-

To- The people of New Orleans have
driven into coventry the base men who bore
false witness against Miss Hardy on the trial
Of her father for murder. They were men
occupying respectable positions as clerks and
weighers in cotton presses. Their employ
eeS have been formerly notified by the mer-
chants that they viii have no business with
any concern where they are employed. They
have been expelled from all decen: society,
and turned out of the Odd Fellows Lodges.
One of them has been discarded by his own
wife as too base wretch for an honorable
woman to bear his name.

RG@ Capt. Revere, whose adventures
with Miss. Blount of Mobile has excited so
much attention from the Press, is said to
have been married to a woman in New York
in 1857 with whom he had been living pre-
viouS to the marriage. When his case was
called in court on the 9Th inst, the Captain
was found missing. lie had acted, it is sup
posed, upon the Discreet maxim that "discre-
ton is the better part of valor, and evaded
an examination before the court. Mrs.
Blount, the mother, has promised to furnish
full account Of the affair to the public, if
the reporters will not annoy her by their i'm
pertinent calls.

BB@lt appeared upon the trial of the ac-
ton for libel, brought by Cough against
another temperance lecturer, in the English
Exchequer Court, that Cough has been en-
ployed by two temperance societies-one
English and the other Scotch-for four or
five years, at $50 per lecture, for two hun
dred lectures year, making his income
from these associations $4,000 per annum.
The charges of using opium and stimulants
were not sustained by the evidence, and
were acknowledged to be false by the party
who preferred them.

s6-The lady of Sir Jno. Dean Paul, the
fraudulent banker, who has been condemned
by the English courts to ten years trans
portation to the penal colony at Swan river,
in Australia, goes out with her convict hus-
band, and will not desert him i'm his dis
grace and affection. She has an annual
income of $4,000 of her own, which she
proposes to spend in the colony. Her lady
ship takes her equipages and everything else
necessary to enjoy a splendid life of luxury.
Would it not be more noble to stay at home
and give portion of this splendid income
to pay the poor families her husband has
robbed

ES- The Washington correspondent of
Forney's Press says that Bigger Of the
Treasury and Hendricks of the Land Office,
VIGOROUSLY the tools Of Senator Bright are
in Indiana, and that they write back to
Washington begging for heavens sake that
the prescription Of the anti-Lecompton
Democrats shall cease Until after the e!eet.on.
They hatter themselves that huff in the
storm of persecution will lull the friends OF
Douglas into feeling of security.
Senator Bright reached Madison week
ago and is said 10 be hurrying through the
State from point to point striving to settle
all strites between the Leeompton and anti
Lecompton Democrats wherever he goes
Though he is violently Lecompton, be heSi-
tates not to advise, command, compel the
Lecompton candidates and aspirantS for
Office to give way to their anti-Lecompton
rivals wherever be thinks that harmony
cannot be otherwise secured.
No doubt these things will have their ef-
feet, and many an anti-LecomptOn Democrat
of Indiana will forego all manifestation o.
resentment at seeing his political brethren
decapitated in every State where the re-
morseless Administration dares ply the
guillotine.
The First Congressional District will be
the special object of his attention. Neither
money nor effort will be spared to carry it
1t will be filled with his agents and every
olficeholder and expectant of Office has haC
his task assigned him, on the performance
of which his hopes depend.

Dss~ The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San, under date of the 9th
inst, says that senator Bright has left for
Indiana, which State he intends to thorough
ly canvass precedent to the election
His chief arguments will be drawn from
his breeches pockets. His purse contains
more logic, of the kind he uses, than his
head. His pocket book has more notes of
persuasive eloquence than any his dull brain
can coin, or his tongue ever uttered. But
such canvassing is losing its force with the
people of this State, and his labors viii not
be found as successful as heretofore.

80 The decline Of statesmanship and |

H% The decline of craftsmanship and the
degeneration of parties is sorrowfully stated
by Mr.. Everett in his Fourth Of July
address at Boston. He says: "IfI felt the
slightest inclination, (Which do not), with
the partial restoration of my health, to re-
turn to public life, | should be deferred from
il by the fact that between the extremes of
opinion which distract and threaten to con-
vulse the country, l fud no middle path to
practical usefulness which friend of mod
crate counsels is permitted to pursue
Statesmdnship, as IL ioas understood IN my
younger days-that is, the study of the for
eign relations of the country, its defences,
naval and military its currency and finan-
ces, its internal improvements, its great in
dustrial interests, and the relations of the
Government to the Indian tribes, has almost
become an obsolete idea, and our political life
has assumed almost exclusively the form of
sectional agitation. Into that dreary and
proftleSs agitation have no heart TO enter"
The truth Of these remarks is painfully felt
by every man who has had twenty years cx-
Perience in the politics of the country.

SEDucTIoS AND HoXIcIpE.-A few days
since DR.. Mitchell was killed near Lake
Bolivar, Miss, by Mr.. Parker Williams.
Il is said that Mitchell was seducer-the
victim of his unhallowed RIGHTEOUSNESS being
daughter of the man at whose hands he
met his death. AS soon as Mr.. Williams
was made aware that his daughter had been
ruined by DR.. Mitchell, his family physician
"a man in whom he had ever placed the
most implicit confdence-he committed
homicide.

SUPERIOR CITY.-The Secretary of the
Interior has decided that neither Of the par
ties claiming the land which forms the site
Of Superior City are entitled to it. lie de-
clares the half-breeds, who entered and sold
the land to Brights rival claimants had no
right to pre-empt. The adverse claim of
Bright and others is rejected, because it has
not been shown that these proprietors were
occupants of the tracts as required by the
presumption laws. The land at the time of
the decision was open TO presumption anew,
and the parties in favor at Washington,
who would be likely to know the decision
before its PRONUNCIATION, have probably taken
measures to secure it.

gBA man in Clermont county, Ohio,
recently cut down a mulberry tree, and on
splitting it, found q black snake six feet in
length, imbedded in its heart. From the
marks of the growth of the timber, it is
said, the snake must have been enclosed in it
in torpid state for fifteen years. When tai =
en- out the reptile was blind and could move
only its head. The truth of the story is
vouched for by the county paper that pub
fishes it; but it requires stretch of credu-

Latest from U,ah--Peace Established.

The last Utah mail came through from
Salt Lake City, instead of from Camp Scott,
bringing dates down to the 10th of June,
one week later than our previous intelligence.
The Peace Commissioners had arrived in the
city, and the terms of PUBLICATIONS had
been agreed upon and signed. Young and
the whole Mormon population, except about
forty individuals, had left the city and gone
South to Provost. The city was completely
deserted and its streets solitary. On the
10th Of June, the army of Colonel johnson
was met at Echo Cannon, stretched out on
the road for more than a mile, on its march
to the city, or its place of encampment TO
the south of it. Gen. Harvey had passed
Fort Laramie. The rains had been very
heavy on the plains, and the rivers were
high. The grass was never so abundant as
it is this season. The mail party that left
on the lSt Of June, going out encountered
a severe snow storm; and heavy snow fell
at Fort Bridger on the 10th of June.

gsSy" Mons. Bell, wlo has contracted for
the right to construct the Nicaragua inter
oceanic canal, proves himself to be a practi-
cal, business man, with no political views in
his schemes. lie is merely pacific specu-
lator, who, with a vast capital TO back him,
proposes to dig a canal across the Isthmus.
OF the feasibility of this enterprise he speaks
with absolute and enthusiastic confidence
IT is no more difficult, he thinks, than the
piercing of Mount Gents, or than a dozen
other achievements of modern engineering.
Nor does he see why the American people or
their Government should view the enterprise
with jealousy. For the practical work of
digging the canal, New York must be the
starting point. The chief expenditures for
machinery, implements and food for the Ia
borers must be made in the country. When
the canal is done it viii be vastly more ben
eficial to American commerce than that OF
any other nation. Mons. Belly has gone to
France, with the intention of returning soon,
to take the first steps for beginning the en-
terprise lie is said to be a man of remark
able energy of character.

asr The State Sentinel thinks that to

NJ The State Sentinel thinks that to
make the election of Bright and Fitch an
issue at the October election, is most ridicu-
Ious. alt says, at is settled question:
The decision will not be reversed. And
mono know better than the Republican lead
srs Of Indiana that the election is not only
legal, but that it unequivocally reflected the
wiz ofthe majority of the people Of Indiana,
fairly determined after an exciting canvass,
il which ali the political issues Of the day
had been fully presented to them for their
consideration and verdict"
The Sentinel is not as well informed as
an organ ought to be, in regard to public
opinion, if it thinks the question can be sup
pressed as the most prominent issue in the
coming contest The people in the pocket,
do not, by any means, consider il q "Settled
question" Anti-Brightism here is more
potent than anti-Lecomptonisn. And the
Sentinel makes itself " most ridiculous" by
supposing the people Of Indiana will submit
passively to such monstrous fraud.

psS@ Capt. Pope, who has been employed
by the Government, in sinking artesian
wells along the emigrant route from Texas
to FL PaSSo, has found large number of
natural springs on the desert high lands,
called Lilano Estacado, about half way be-
tween the Pecos river and the Mustang
springs, before known. The springs can be
reached over a hard gravelly route, shorter
than the present emigrant road. There
was no signs of water in the midst Of the
bare hills where they were found, till the
discoveries were in the middle OF them
The fact of the existence of such resources
for water is of great Importance to troops
and emigrants trayersing the country.

sEa. Capt. Marcy, in his winter excur-
sion from Camp Scott to New Mexico, dis
covered some very remarkable springs on
the route, which were called "foHfaiRs qui
Jomile' or boiling springs. There lisa very
round and smooth rock, elevated several
feet above the earth, with an oval top, and
directly upon the top is a round basin, like
an artificial fountain, into which comes from
the bottom stream Of water as large as a
mans arm, with as much force as if thrown
by fire engine. The basin remains filled
constantly, but does not run over, having a
Subterranean outlet. On tasting this wa
ter, much TO his astonishment, he found il
very similar to Congress water only much
more pleasant. He drank large quantities
of it, and says it produced a delightful SEN
sation.
