ILLINOIS PoLIrIcs.- Letters from Wash
ington state that the President is more
and more bent on scouting Senator
Douglas. The removal of G. w. Gray,
the Postmaster at Cleveland, Ohio, and
the gentleman who fills the office of Col
lector at Chicago, Illinois, are the new
cases of aggravated injustice. They will
re-light the fire of indignation all over the
Northwest. There is a combination, says
one, resolved to persecute Jud dge Douglas
to the utmost, and they manage to sur
round the President all the time. We
quote from the Washington letter in the
Philadelphia Press:
"What renders their course more infa-
NOUS is the fact that at this moment the
office holders of the Administration in Hi
nois are hard at work making coalition
with some of the Republicans to defeat
Judge Douglas and the regular Democratic
ticket. A gentleman now in Washington
informs me that proofs of this combination
have been laid before the President, and it
is known that some of the Republicans i'll
Congress have been approached to assist
in carrying it into effect"
The Cincinnati Commercial, a Repub-
lican paper, speaks as follows:
''The fight in Illinois-the question be-
ing Douglas reelected to the Senate or
consigned to private life.-waxes warm
So soon as Congress adjourns, Little Dug
will make his appearance among the Suck
ers, and the fur will fly on all sides, There
is strong probability that he will sweep
the State. The Republican aspirants for
his seat are Abram Lincoln ane Long John
Wentworth. That achich is likely 70 de-
feat the Republican partisans is the coala-
ton between them and the Lecompton Of
fee-holders. The people will have none of
that.

Adjournment Of Congress.

The session of Congress ends to-day,
June 14th, to the great relief of the coun-
try. All people will rejoice, for none has
been more unpaoftable and sectional.-
Party measures alone have prevailed. The
President has dictated-his party satraps
have obeyed. The Treasury has been
bankrupted to feed his horde of officehold-
ers, and fatten his army and navy contrac-
tors. Millions on millions have been voted
for war waged on helpless women and
children in the wilderness, but not dollar
to foster the inland commerce of continent
or 10 open an iron way from Ocean to
Ocean. Millions have been issued in
Treasury notes, other millions have been
borrowed to be squandered in reckless ex-
travagance, and on the very eve of adjourn
ment the President by special message
called the attention of Congress to the des-
titute condition of the Treasury. The
President who boasted in his annual mes
sage in December of the heahhful condi-
ton of tie Treasury in six months Ad-
ministration is compelled to implore Con-
gress for the third time to replenish that
Treasury by Notes and Loans
The session will also be memorable for
the triumph of the Eecutiye over the Leg
islative department, in forcing through a
measure of injustice repugnant to the vast
majority of the people of the United States
"A sectional measure that has been pro-
Life mother of agitation in and out of Con-
gress, and which will continue to be so as
long as the monstrous doctrine of the Ad-
ministration that Slavery is National and
Freedom is Sectional. is enunciated by the
Executive head and the Supreme bench of
the Government Cleveland Leader.

EE- The Methodist Church South, a

EE The Methodist Church South, at
its recent general Conference at Nashville,
Tennessee, expunged the rule which for
bid tie buying and selling of men, women
and children, with an intention to enslave
them. The Methodist Church South would
have completed its work and preserved a
show of consistency, had it forbid the read
ing of the Bible and recommended its men,
bers to indulge in all the sins which are there
in forbidden. Many passags in the Bible are
antagonist to man stealing, and the Chris
tian Church that is so completely under
the corrupting influence of slavery, as to
take the action above noticed, ought, in Or
der to be consistent, throw out the whole
Book, and substitute file of the 'sRich-
mond Enquirer"

From ST. Louis.

ST. Lofts, June IA.
For forty-one hours, ending at o'clock
last night, the river rose twenty-nine inches
and is now rising at the rate Of one inch
per hour. Water is now about 4 l-2 feet
below the highest flood mark of ls44.
The Upper Mississippi is still rising at
Dubuque, and the head waters of the Illi-
nois are again swelling. The Missouri is
full five inches at Boonville, Saturday and
yesterday, but clear this morning.
Dispatches from Carlo state that on Sat-
urday afternoon a crevasse opened on the
Mississippi side of the town, through which
the water poured at fearful rate, filling
up tho whole space between the levees' ana
is now running over the embankments on
the Ohio side. About one thousand lee'
of the Central Railroad is washed away.
The left wing of the new hotel feIi ss"naef
and the balance was expected to fall du-
r;ng the night. Nearly all the houses or
tbs citv were tumbling down, drifting
awav or sinking. Scarcely building in
tbs eitv is expected to withstand the flood.
The water is q feet deep in the seeoud
story of the Taylor House and still rising
rapidly. Mound City is also in danger Of
being overhowed.

Their ultimate destination was not fixed

Their ultimate destination was not fixed
on. Going south seemed to be sufficient
to designate the place; but from private re-
marks of Young in the Tabernacle, Gov.
Cumming thinks they are going to Sonora.
Young, Kimball, and most of the influ-
ential men had left their commodious
houses to swell the ranks of the emigrants,
The masses everywhere announced to
Gov. Cumming that the torch will be ap-
to every house, indiscriminately through
out the country, as soon as the troops at
tempt to cross the mountains, and that, al
though their people were scattered, they
would take every means to rally them.
Gov. Cumming says that some of the
Mormors are yet in arms, and speaks Of
the mischief they are capable of rendering
as guerillas.
The way for emigrants for the Pacific
was open.
Gov. Cumming would leave for the camp
on the Sd. He says lie will restrain all
the proceedings of the military for the
present and until he shall receive addition
news from the President.

LEcoMPToN DOWN South. The South
ern Democratic journals just seem to be
awakening to the extraordinary fact that
the English Kansas Bill knocks "Lecomp.
ton" all to pieces, and that, after the con.
demnation which the Kansas people will
put upon that and upon the Land Bribe, in
their coming August election,-the LIE.
compton, pure and simple,-upon which
two or three Southern Legislatures were
to go the death alabama specially
will be no more heard Of, but be annihila-
ted,-extinguished, all gone! Their con-
ISOLATION, however, in the midst of this
great af1iction, is, that Kansas will be no
more heard Of in Congress to rend in twain
the Democratic party.
But, is this SO certainG Suppose Kan
sas asks to come into the Union;" "come
in now;" 'tcome in with your 10000 pop
ulation, with Pro-Slavery Lecompton."-
The principle of come in having been thus
granted, suppose Kansas insists upon its
illustration with an increased population of
$4,000, or 10000, or 7O,00o,-a popula-
tion, too, increasing largely every day !
What thenl You cannot come in! No;
unless you give as a reason that it takes
nut 10000 people 10 make a Slave Con-
s'l'ution, and 100000 to make a Free
State Constitution. But, if you do give
that reason we can assure you all, Kansas
will be heard great deal of in Congress.

Shooting of jenkins by Lane:

Late auflceS Win Inc particulars IN full
relative to the killing of Gains jenkins by
Gen. Jas. H. Lane at Lawrence, Kansas, on
the Sd inst, do not materially change the
nature of the transaction. The Lawrence
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
saws:
jenkins was a man universally respected,
a prominent Free State man during the
troubles of '56 and one of the treason pris-
oners. He held Colonels commission
under Lane. He was As years old and
leaves wife and four children.
For two and half years Lane and Jenk-
ins have been contestants for valuable
claim now within the city limits of Law
renee, and worth fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars. There are three houses on the
claim. Lane and his family occupy one
Jenkins and his family the second-the
third was vacant. Lanes residence is not
more than ten or fifteen rods from that of
jenkins.
The present affray resulted about well
of water in Lanes enclosure, near his house
jenkins had been in the habit of using wa
ter from this well. A few days since Lane
forbade this, and locked up the well. Jenk-
ins broke the lock. Yesterday morning,
one of his men (having previously broken
down the fence of Lanes enclosure) went
for water, but Lane drove him away. In
the afternoon, jenkins with two or three
companions, returned, chopping down the
fence and entered the enclosure. Lane
(who says he had previously warned Jen-
kins that he would shoot him if he contin-
ued to trespass on the premises) ordered
them off several times, threatening to shoot
unless they left. They still advanced how
ever, and when they were about thirty feet
from Lane, he fired shot gun at jenkins.
The charge of nearly one hundred buck
shot entered his breast, and he fell dead.
One of his companions shot Lane with a
revolver, iDflicting bad wound near the
knee.
An excited crowd gathered at the hous-
es of both parties. A few men-Sheriff
Jones, of Lecompton, among the number
proposed to lynch Lane at cnee; but
some of the citizens began to threaten to
lynch Jones himself, and he suddenly left
for home.
The correspondent of the st. Louis DEM
ocrat says:
AS Jenkins fell, one of his friends fired
three times at Gen. Lane, one ball missing
him, the other grazing his forehead, and
the other burying itself in the calf of his
leg, bringing him to the ground. 1t was
a narrowing spectacle. The body of Mr..
jenkins was soon removed and Lane taken
into custody. Mrs. jenkins was nearly
crazed at the fearful intelligence of the
death of her husband. She is lying in a
dangerous condition.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette from Leavenworth 9Th inst, says:
The funeral of Gains jenkins, took place
at Lawrence on Sunday, and was attended
by an immense crowd. There is strong
public feeling on both sides.
Lanes condition is both helpless and
critical. He has frequent attacks of spas
ans, with symptoms of lockjaw. tits now
thought that amputation will be necessary
to save life.

Another War Ended.

WASHINGTON, June I3.
The difficulty between Senators Wilson
and Gwin has been adjusted. A refusal to
make any acknowledgements, it was pro-
posed by Mr.. Wilson's friends to refer the
subject to Senators Crittenden, Seward and
Davis, to which Mr.. Gwin assented. Those
gentlemen last night drew up statement
in which they say that the remarks of Mr..
Gwin imputed unworthy motives to Mr..
Wilson, and although general were objec-
tionable and unparliamentary, and yet they
by no means justify or warrant Mr.. w. in
using the very opprobious epithet with
which he retaliated. After stating other
things in connection, they add, we are pos
sessed of fact which indeed is apparent
on the face of the reported debate, that
MIR. Wilson in using the epithet employed
did not impute anything Of personal integ-
rity or honor to Mr.. Gwin.
With this disclaimer adopted by Mr.. w.
we hold that Mr.. G. is bound to withdraw
the disrespectful language in which he re-
piled to Mr.. W., and withdrawal from
Mr.. G. shall be deemed to have been made
by them respectively, they shall have ex-
pressed in writing their assent to this re-
port. Messrs. Gwin and Wilson signed il
late last night.
Lieut.. Gen. Scott has been in consulta-
tlon with the Secretary of War, as to army
movements, in view of the late occurrences
in Utah, and orders have been sent to n
large portion of the troops now on march
across the Plains, to turn in direction of
various localities requiring protection.--
The immense magazines Of supplies will,
however, be forwarded to Utah, as q con-
siderable body of the troops will be kept
there for long time.

Stanton uinK Kansas.

The Kansas correspondent Of the Cincin-
matt Times, writing from Lawrence June
9Th, says that Ex-Governor Stanton ad-
dressed the people there upon the iniquity
of the English Bill, and perfdy of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Gov. S. was followed by Judge
Smith, who advocated the acceptance of
the English bill, but the speaker was hoot-
ed and hissed at, and nothing save his grey
hairs saved him from rude treatment.
Gen. Lanes examination had been post
poned again on account of the severity of
his wound.

FLoop IN CENTRAL OHIo-A letter
from GAINESVILLE, June 10Th, to the Cinciu-

that boats cannot pass the locks, and the
town was full of travellers who were detain-
