BATTLE BETWEEN SAyACEs.-The schooner PfeL
brings news from the missionaries stationed in the
Caroline group. Letters from Rev. H. Bingham, who
is stationed at Apian. Kingsmill Group, dated in
March, report a battle as having recently taken place
on that island. He says: g On the 10th of February
an army of savages in 100 canoes came upon our
island from Tarawa. (Knox Island At first every
thing indicated that the attack would take place
about our own premises. But our Heavenly Father
spared us from witnessing the bloody battle, which
occurred six miles to the southeast of us, in which
the Kings of both islands were killed, besides forty
three Tarawans, (six of them being females,) whom
we counted on or near the battle field, and sixteen of
our own people. As the battle took place on the fats
at low tide. probably many bodies we're carried off by
the sea. Over fifty canoes were captured from the
invading army, some of them being of immense size.
The victory gained by our people was so decisive that
probably no more attacks viii be made for some time
to come. Te-kaiiea, the son of our old King, is now
our Sovereign. He was badly wounded in the cheek
by a spear. His wound | have taken great care of,
and it is now almost entirely healed. He is very
friendly and has always appeared so. Unjust say the
same of the natives generally, but they will frequently
steal when opportunities furnish Mr.. Bingham
adds that he is progressing favorably in collecting the
words of the Apian dialect, and over FIVE hundred
words have been acquired, only about forty of which
are monosyllables. Recently he has obtained the aid
of an interpreter.

HE ACCEPTS.

The last number of the j Johnstown Tribune
announces the important fact. that RICHARD
J PRoUpFoor, Esq has determined to ac-
cept the nomination for Assembly, rendered
him by the late Known othlng and Black
Republican County Convention. The Squire
is now fairly in the field, and we presume the
people may anticipate the honor of his calling
On them ere long, for the purpose of soliciting
their votes. The Tribune also publishes an ex-
tract from letter of Mr.. Proudfoot's to Messrs.
Swank i Bowman, which, as far as it goes,
is quite as interesting and instructive as any
Of the large number of interesting and in-
struciive political letters which have appeared
during the present year. The 'S4uire says:

yention, with great unanimity. their can

I GS- We clip the following from recent
letter Of the Harrisburg correspondent of the
Johnstown Echo. As the Monument is in
tended to honor the memory of deceased cti-
zens of Pennsylvania who lost their lives in
uphcldiDg the honor cf their couutry's flag
during the Mexican..war, and as Pennsylva-
mans will be called upon to contribute the
expenses of its erection, We regret that a
Pennsylvania architect could not be found
worthy to prepare a plan for, and superintend
the erection of the Monument Doubtless,
however, the Commissioners, in their superior
wisdom, acted wisely in adopting the plan OF
the gentleman from Connecticut -
The Monument Commissioners re assem-
Dled in the Executive Chamber on w adnes-
day last-eleven mem Eers being present
the Governor, of course, presiding. They
were in consultation some time, and finally
decided to reject Mr.. Wrigley's plan, which
they, at the previous meeting, had almost de-
termined to adopt They then chose that OF
Mr. James G Patterson, of Hartford, Con
necticut. In this we think the Committee
exhibited their wisdom and good taste. The
design i. much more chaste, beautiful, and
appropriate 1t is a column of Italian mar
BILE, shaped like the trunk Of the Mexican
palm tree, and is surmounted with magnlf,
cant st tue of the Goddess of Liberty" The

! thousand only of which has been appropriated
! by the last Legislature. \ committee wa.
appointed to prepare the Commissioners pro
ceedings, in order to be presented to the
| next Legislature for its action on the subject
| The architect is to enter into approved sure

/ ture until the meeting Of the General Assem-

This fortunate circumstance will afford Mr.

finest marble, and executing the importau
! work entrusted to his hands in manne
which. while it will be worthy of his talents
will reflect credit upon this good old Com
monwealth, for having erected Nonumen

HON. WILLIAM a. PORTER.

Our talented and popular candidate for Su
preme Judge was III Johustown sevcrGl days,
last week, and of course made quite favorable
impression on the minds of the Democracy of
the Mineral City who became acquainted with
him during his stay. We regret that he had not
time to visit Ebenshurg and breathe little Of
our pure mountain air The prospects of
Judge PorteI's election by an overwhelming
majority are every day growing brighter.
The Democracy everywhere united in his
support, while his great personal popularity
will secure him many opposition votes. The
opposition leaders it is true, are extremely anx-
ious to defeat him Lut they are already be-
ginning to give up the chase in despair No
man in the State is better qualified for the Su-
preme bench than Judge Porter. His public
record is spotless, willie his private life is with
out a .tai5. The Democracy Of Cambria viii
declare in his favor by large majority-as
large # not larger, than that in favor of Mr..
Buchanan in 1856

Is there any valid objection to au avowal,
bv the Republican State Convention. OF sym,
pathy with every earnest judicious effort 10
correct abuses in our Elections, especially that
of Illegal or Double Voting? Is not the, thing
proposed right in itselH and is not a deciara-
ton in its faYor.clearly expedieni?. And would
it not be well TO nominate: one;or more of the
candidates in or State Ticket from among
those Americans who aSeaheartiy with US. in
the struggle to prevent tke Extensiou Of Sla-
v3ery?" -s'
AS the Republican party has repeatedly
! avowed sympathy with every earnest. judi
cious effort to correct abuses in our elections p"
it is rather difficult to understand how the ex-
preston of this same "sympathy' at the next
! State Convention would be lone step toward"
the Americans We rather think that having
! Zone or more" names from among the Amer
| leans on the State Ticket will constitute the
Zone step" which is to gain their votes for
! the Republican candidates. and not any 'avow-
ais Of sympathy" on the part of the State
Convention.
Much stress is laid OIL the policy and wis
dom of acting from practical view Of things;
and that, doubtless, is the correct course; but
to ask US, Oh the grounds of ''expedieney,' to
vote for men that make our prosraption an ar
ticle of their creed, is decidedly cool
We trust, however, that better counsel may
prevail at the convention. and that any attempt
at uniting the Republican and American par
ties Will be sgually defeated.

! licans all over the country have a deep and

and restraint:

The evils to be apprehended from elevaung
men to power who are hostile to democratic
principles, canpot be easily exaggerated. OF
course, our enemies when in power will always
WELD it agsinst us and certainly that policy
is Suicidal winch places in the hands of our
enemies the weapons to crush md destroy US,
Democrats have nothing to gain from. .aban-
doning the landmarks of their party for even
a single Instant No considerations Of per-
sonal or private nature should ever induce
then, to give aid and comfort to the cause OF
bigotry and fanaticisn.
The TrtJune talks about the Democratic
leaders being thunderstruck at the enthusiasm
with which the nomination of Mr. Proudfoot
has been received by the honest and indepen-
dent voters of the county" Well, that is de-
cidedly rich VIII cur neighbors be good
enough to inform US where or when that en-
thusiasm wag manifested. We were present
in crowd Of Know Nothings and Republi-
cans when the nomination Of Squire Proud
foot was first announced, and can truly say
that the enthusiasm and excitement manifes-
ted, did not equal that usually called forth b.
the sudden escaping of the cork from bottle
of pop Mr.. Proudfoot may be very great
and popular man, but he will be beaten by
his opponent, Mr.. Porter, by more than thir
teen hundred votes. We hope the Editors o
