A CATHOLIC PRIEST APPOINTED CHAPLAIN ~ mr.,
OREGON ARMY.-We learn that Father de Sme, h ns
received dispatch from Washington, reouest;na
him to join General Harvey at New York, as chan
lain to the army in Oregon. Apart from all consd
erations of religious spiritual character, there
is eminent propriety in The selection Of Father de-
Smet for this position. 1t was he who first preach
ed the doctrines of Christianity to the Northern e.
tramontane Indians, and he is consequently regard
ed with especial reverence by those tribes who dwell
in the country which is the theatre of the Oregon
Indian war. There can be no doubt that his nAu.
ence over them will facilitate the realization Of the
purposes of the government. In no part of Oregon
is the big Black Gown" unknown or unapprecia.
ted. His influence over the Black-feet nation is su
preme, and the Flatheads and adjacent tribes are
scarcely less submissive to his counsels The Gov.
eminent has, therefore, consulted its own interest in
his appointment to the chaplaincy Of the Oregon
army. If he shall not be able to array these and
other tribes the side of the authorities he will at
least secure their neutrality As have observed,
he is known among all the Indian nations in the ter.
ritories of the United States as the Big Black Gown
and from the banks of the Rio Grande to the banks
of the Columbia, that title is recognized. He will
therefore be able to render important services in the
opening campaign. The subjugation, and not the
determination. of the Indians is, it is to be pre-.
sumed, the policy of the Government and Father de
Smet will he an efficen: agent to carry out that
plan-St Louis Democrat, Sept 10.

admitted without order, except nobleman's SER

The MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS IN WORCESTER
CouNTY.-We stated, yesterday, that the slavehold-
ers of Worcester County, Maryland, had held large
meeting and recommended that a general conven.
ton of all the shareholders Of the Eastern Shore be
held at Cambridge, the third of November to
adopt measures to protect their property. The
meeting referred to, passed resolutions urging the
State Legislature to instruct our Senators and re-
quest our Representatives in Congress to present to
the General Government the necessity of rigid en-
forcement of the fugitive slave law the payment
of the full value of runaway slaves and also that the
Legislature, at its next session, be requested to ap-
point agents to ferret out and arrest runaway slaves
said agents to be allowed liberal bounty for each
slave captured by them. The following additional
resolutions were also adopted:
ResoLued, That We recommend that authority be
given to postmasters in slaveholding States open
and read all letters and other documents addressed
to free negroes or slaves; and whenever anything
incendary shall be found therein, TO place them in
the hands Of proper officers for prosecution.
Resolred, That the State of MARYLAND has the
power, and owes to her citizens the duty, of protect
ing slave property within her limits against all ad.
versaries of our laws and institutions, come from
whence they may and that until our laws are made
more stringent on this subject, we recommend to
our civil officers particularly, and to our citizens
generally, increased vigilance in detecting and bring.
ing to justice all persons caught tampering with
slaves; and as reward for such service, author
ize Zadock P. Henry to pay over to such officer or
other person the sum of 800 for every white man,
and $50 for every free negro SO detected and con-
victed. .-.
Resolued, That our Shareholders and those who
hire slaves requested to discontinue the practice
of allowing said slaves patches, and permitting
them to leave home without passes that masters
select homes for their slaves instead of permitting
them to seek out their own, IS is now practiced in
this county; and that we call upon constab!es and
magistrates to break up woods meetings and all un-
lawful gatherings of slaves and free negroes and to
enforce the patrol lsws.-BaLtinsore Patriot, 21st

TnB CRoPs.-PRosPECTs.-We have
only to confirm our statements Of last
week of the disastrous effects to small
grain by the rust. Many farmers do not
expect to cut their wheat or oats. The
papers all over the country, tell similar
stories, Of the almost total failure of wheat
crops. In a private letter from Lancaster,
Grant Co.,. Wis, the writer says:
'The wheat crop hereabouts injured are
as badly as you represent in The Advertis.
er,fllly as bad"
Flour, in consequence is on the rise, and
wheat must soon advance. There is one
consolation on this state of affairs, that will
bring the country out all right till another
year. There are millions of bushels Of
last years crop on hand, while in the CEN
trail or middle portion Of the U. S. there
has been bountiful harvest. Flour will
probably be S. barrel in three months,
and wheat 75c bushel. Living rates all
around. Corn will be the best crop we
have had for several years; potatoes will
be plenty and cheap,and hay in abundance.
GrumbIers, though plenty, cannot change
this state of things, which are far from
the worst Dunleith Advertiser.

TIE ASSESSMENT ACT.

The ridiculous and absurd pratense set
up that this law is to be considered par
ty aneasure,y for which the Governor and

led Us to look into, the Assem- bly Journal
to see what proceedings were had upon its
final passage. From this record we find
that after having passed through the
hands of committee, it was reported,
Fesd the first and second time, and the
ratleYs S7sslpgpded to put it upon passage
AS it takes a two-thirds vote to suspend
the rules, fit was q Republican measure,

HoNoRABLE CoNDUcT OF THE SUM
NERs.-It will be remembered by our read
ers that Mr.. Albert Sumner, Of Newport,
IN. II his wife and child, some time since;
were shipwreckel and all undoubtedly
persisted. By ,he Prescriptions Of law,
the wife and chill died first, and the hus-
band became entitled to the property
Mrs. S. was daughter Of the late Wax
ter Charming, of tt is city, and enjoyed the
income of large estate. Under these
circumstances, more than $4,000 became
legally vested in the late Mr.. Sumner,
and through him came to his mother and
sister and bis two brothers Charles Sum
ner, ESQ. The estate was administered
upon by Mfr. George Sumner, and, with
the consent of all these heirs, the whole
property which the deceased had derived
from his wife has been surrendered to her
relations. It gives US great pleasure to
record an act SO honorable to the parties,
and prompted by 50 nice sense Of justice
and equity Boston Transcript, July 10.
