THE BRITISH WAR STEAMER STYX.-It ap-
pears it portion of the marines of this
cruiser which lately landed in Cuba. 1t is
stated that her commander gave them nstuc-
tions to search sundry plantations from eight
to fifteen miles interior from the point Of land
ing, giving as an excuse that he had suspicion
of cargo of negroes having been landed in
the vicinity, which he wished to seize. n o ne
groes had been landed in that part ofthe coun-
try, SO that the foraging darty contcnted them
selves with small hen-roost plunder, and pig
thrown in to cure their disappointment. This
outrage had created the greatest Indignation
at Havana. The StyX is the same steamer
which, pirate like, has boarded many Amer
lean vessels during the last few weeks.

Forney's Press, of the 29th May, says-ssIt
begins to be more than manifest that scarcely
anybody can be elected to Congress from this
corner of the continent who voted for Lecomp-
ton. The brand is on the brow of every one
who did the deed, and like the scarlet letter.
it cannot be obliterated, while, unlike the
scarlet letter. it is seen Of all men. Now, it
may be pleasing thing to power to see the
Lecomptonites re-nominated, but it is much
more important thing to the Democrats to put
nobody forward who will kill other candidates
by the contact. If the Lecompton Congress
men want vindication, they should go to the
Treasury for it. There are not votes enough
for them in the North, and that's the long and
short of it.''
That's right, John-hit them again.

THE NEW MILITIA LAw.-Quite number of
inquiries have been recently made of US con-
cerning the militia law passed at the late
sion of the Pennsylvania Legislature. 1t is
entirely too long for publication in newspa
per, but as it is printed in pamphlet form, it
will doubtless be widely circulated. By its
provisions every able-bodied man between the
ages of twenty-one and forty five, and not eX-
empted by the laws of the United States, with
certain specified exceptions, is required to
perform military duty. The assessors of the
several wards, boroughs and townships, are re-
quired to enroll all such, and to assess a tax of
fifty cents upon all who are not exempt from
the performance of military duty. This tax
of fifty cents is to be collected in the same
manner and at the same time other taxes are
collected in the several counties; and is to be
paid into the county treasury as a military
fund, separate account of which is to be kept
by the treasurer. The State is divided into
twenty divisions, corresponding very nearly
with the present arrangement. Clearfield Cen
tire, Huntingdon, Juniata and Miffiin counties
constitute the 18th district. Each county in
the State is to constitute a separate brigade.
The act also provides for election for Brig
adler General and Brigade Inspector on the
first Monday of June, 1859, and every five
years thereafter. The salary of the Brigade
Inspector is fixed at $50 per annum, and his
duties are fully and clearly defined. All or
ganized companies are required to parade an
nualIy by regiment, battalion or company, at
such time and place between the first days of
May and October, as the Brigade Inspector
shall order and direct, for the purpose of dis
cipline, inspection and review. In lien of this
the commanding officer of any brigade, may
order his brigade or any regiment, battalion or
company to parade and encamp for period
not TO exceed six consecutive days, between
the first days OF May and October in each
year; twenty days notice of such cmcamp-
ment to be given to the Brigade Inspector by
such commanding officer. All officers, non
commissioned officers, musicians and privates
of any uniformed company or troop 10 receive
one dollar and fifty cents for every day actual
ly on duty, and for each horse actually used by
them, two dollars per day. This extends only
to six days in each year.
The New Bloomfield .fdroc0fe thus estimates
the cost of carrying out the new military law.
1t says: .sSuppoSe that We estimate the num-
bcr of infantry, artillery, &c, in the State at
25,0o0, and the cavalry at 5000, Gin 10th ca
ses a low estimate,) and suppose that there
should be the full number of parades, the ex-
penses would be S695 900 per annum and
estimate that there are 10000 in the State liza
bic to military duty under the law, the reve-
nue. would be only $500, 900, or less than a
third of the expense. We venture to say that
the expense of carrying out this law, on an
average, will not be less than half million Of
dollars annually! ~

The Worcester Transcript says that Aaron
Burr lived an age too soon. His projected in
yasion of Mexico, and his inquiry to the
possibility of taking HGrana, were made at q
time when the Influence of the character and
rectitude of President Washington Mad not
passed away. But had he lived under Presi-
dent Buchanan, with what joy would the author
of the Ostend circular have received him into
his counSels. The cool-headed ability of Aa-
ron Burr, which no wickedness could shock
and no complication confuse, would have been
invaluable for member of Buchanan's cabi-
net. lie would have filled the very place Int
with more ability and more power than Caleb
Gushing filed in Frink Piercc's.

HIGH WATERs.-From every point in the
States of Ohio and Indiana, as well as in the
western portions of our own State, we receive
intimations of most fearful and disastrous
floods, the resuit of long-confinued and heavy
rains. Most of the tributaries of the Ohio and
Mississippi have been swollen to almost an un-
precedentcd depth, while the Southern banks
of the Great Father of Waters have been
crowded to their utmost tension, and IN many
instances have given way under it's swelling

rivers were very high. and a large number Of

The Daily News of Philadelphia, is the only
pretended opposition paper that opposes the
call for an anti-Lecompton Convention in July.
1t says there is time enough, and the call is
premature. This sounds so much like the
NeUs of 1856 with its delay and final treason
that very few we hope will again be mis-lcd
by it. The Inquirer more sensibly, says:-
ga MOVEMENT AMONG THE PEOPLE ga
SOUND AMERICAN PoLIcY.'-We invite atten-
tion to the following call. twill be seen that
the opponents of the National and State Ad-
ministrations intend holding State Conven-
tion at Harrisburg on the Sth of July, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for the Su-
| preme Bench, and also, as We presume, a can
didate for Canal Commissioner. The call is
| addressed to all who are opposed TO the Le
| compton swindle, and the despotic policy of
| the National Administration, in forcing it
upon the people of Kansas, Constitution in
defiance of their known wishes, as well to call
who are in favor of a sound American policy,
| in opposition to the intrigues of foreign gov
| ernments.' The movement is intended to
unite the entire Opposition, and we therefore
/ give it our hearty support. 1t is quite time
| for the PEOPLE of Pennsylvania, who are con-
servative. patriotic and national in their views,
and who desire to see adequate protection ex-
! tended 10 American industry, to rally together
| in one spirit, and on some broad and compre-
hensive platform. That the majority of the
citizens of this State are opposed to the Le-
compton iniquity, is beyond all question.
We believe that if a vote could have been taken
throughout the entire Commonwealth, at the
time of our municipal election, the majority
| adverse to the policy of Mr.. Buchanan, would
have amounted to at least twenty-thousand.
And so in relation to HOME INDUSTRY AND A
! SOUND AMERICAN PoLICY. There is no State
| in the Union that is more deeply interested in
| this question. Pennsylvania is eminenty
suited for manufactures, and she is rich in all
| the elements, calculated to render her the
| great manufacturing State of the Union, and
| thus to give her degree of importance in the
| COnfederacy, which hitherto she has not real
| lied. Her coal and iron mines are exhaust
| less, her climate is SalubrOus, her children
are enterprising and Industrious, her position
| is central. and railroads run throughout her
| length and breadth, by which she is enabled
| to transport her products from one point to "a
mother, with the utmost facility. All that she
requires, is adequate protection to Home In
| dustry. This to her, is essential and vital
| But this cannot be secured, until a change
| takes place in the National Lcgislature.'

The TWENTIETH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
comprising the counties of Fayette, Green
and Washington, is likely to be the theater of
a very pretty triangular fight the coming fall
1t opens out handsomely, with Gen. Jessie
Lazear, of Green, tugging for the Democratic
nomination for Congress as the Administration
candidate, and the Hon. VIM. Montgomery
working for a denomination as the leader of
the Anti-Lecompton Democrats, and if defea-
ted in that, will probably run on his own hook
The Republicans will doubles take the field
with leader of their own. and when the or,
der of battle has been formed, and the signal
for general engagement is sounded, we may
expect to hear some very sharp firing from
the Twentieth. Montgomery has brought out
his 'slong tom,' and is pouring his hot shot
and shell into the gentleman from Green, who
appears to be slow in coming to the scratch
The divided Democratic newspapers are skir-
mishing pretty sharply already, while the Re-
publican papers seem to enjoy the carte and
fierce thrusts of their brethren amazingly.
There is promise of general scrimmage, in
which there will be as many bloody noses as
were once counted at our old Washington cof-
fee house years ago, when, late in the night,
one of the Pats sprang up and exclaimed
''Twelve O'Clock and no fight yet 20 Out
went the lights, and thwack went the fists

were the only ones who come off unscarred.

THE Issue IN OcToBER.-Our Washington
masters, says Forney's Philadelphia Press, are
in an ecstasy of alarm over the dissensions of
the Democratic party. We sympathize with
them. They think the Kansas question ought
to be settled. We think so too. They are
beginning to see, like wise men, that for every
head the official axe takes off, the ballot box
will demand ten; and we only regret that their
vision was not cleared at an earlier day. These
things being agreed upon on all hands, what is
the next step? Acting like rational beings,
they would, of course, withdraw their dead
Lecompton from the field, reekng carrion
as it is, that smells to heaven. Animated by
desire to reunite the party, they shonld dis
miss to the shades of private life all those wor-
thies who have voted for Lecompton. But in
this, it seems, the people are to be disappoint-
ed. Preparations are making to pour new
batch of documents, in support of the Lecomp-
ton and English iniquitics into our State
Club-rooms are being opened at Washington,
officered by Jones and Biglcr, and filled with
clerks, from which millions of arguments in
favor OF these great wrongs, are to be dissem-
mated to every part of the State. Even Owen
Jones, is flooding his district with Stevens
report in favor of the very Senate bill which
he SO steadily opposed! So the issue is not
only accepted, but insisted upon and so let
it be. Pennsylvania is to be made the battle
ground in October. She was the battle aground
in 1896. The theatre is. the same-the actors
the same, and the principle the same, with the
difference that those who were elected to Of
flee upon the principle now stand forth full
armed against it. These latter have many
potent influences their side. mass of
patronage held out 20 mass of expectants a
host of dependents whose bread is safe only as
they defend the wrong Senate ready to re-
