The Trial of Col. Sumner.

The recent trial of Col Sumner at Fort
Leavenworth. before Court Martial, seems
to have been nothing better than farce,
originating probably in some personal spite
rather than zeal for the service On the
charge of conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman, he was acquitted, but
convicted of neglect of dnty." Upon
this state of facts, the Court sentenced
him ''to be reprimanded in orders by the
Department Commander, to be suspended
from rank and from command, and to for
felt his pay proper for the space of four
calendar MONTHS Gen. Scott, however,
while admitting that the Court was justi-

Rocky Mountain Gold.

The Van Buren, IntelZigencer says that a
company of Arkansas men recently went on
a gold-hunting trip to the Rocky Mountains.
They found plenty of the glittering ore up
on the surface, but dared not remain for
the purpose of sinking a shaft, from fear of
the Indian tribes who inhabit that region.
The Indians are professedly hostile to the
whites, and this company being quite small,
deemed it imprudent to remain for any
length of time in the vicinity of the saw
ages. They accordingly returned home,
bringing with them the specimens which
they had picked up. One gentleman brought
with him pocket handkerchief full of the
dust, from which he realized considerable
sum. The intention of these men was to
form a company and return to the mountains
for the purpose of digging. This intention
was frustrated by the lack of interest mani
tested by the citizens and the approach of
winter. Some of the rich specimens brought
in by them were left at Van Buren, and,
being trie |, pronounced equal if not supe-
rior to the California gold.

sIazerv in the Free States.

The Washington Union of the 18th ult.
proclaims the doctrine, as an article in the
Democratic creed, the Constitutional right
of the slave holder to remove his slaves to
any free state and hold them there The
first great aggression upon the North was
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
Next came the Dred Scott decision; then
the Buchanan letter to Silliman, declaring
that the Constitution carries slavery into all
Territories of the United States. Now we
have the fourth step in this down hill road
to despotism, that the Constitution overrides
State rights and carries slavery into all the
States. The fifth and last scene in the dra-
ma. is the re-opening of the African Slave
trade, which is fercely advocated by the
South. Oh, Democracy, what crimes are
perpetrated in thy name

Departure of Working Girls for the
West

Yesterday afternoon company of work
ing girls, about fifty in number, left the city
from the branch office of the Children's Aid
Society, for homes in the west, under the
care OF Mr.. G. c. Tracy, their efficient agent,
who was also accompanied by a party of
homeless children from the central Office
The girls were delighted with the opportu-
nifty afforded them of bettering their fortunes
in the land of the West, many of them hav
ing suffered severely since the unhappy
financial crisis oppressed all classes, but fell
most heavily on them. Their avocations
had been miscellaneous-seWers shirt-ma-
kers, workers at umbrellas, and pen makers,
composed the party. All had neat and
modest appearance, and that their characters
were without blemish has been sufficiently
proved by the excellent references they gave
in to the society. Hope was beaming from
the bright eyes and handsome faces of this
interesting party.-N z Courier.

Lucy Stone refuses to pay her taxes at
Orange, n. Y, on the old revolutionary
principle of ''no taxation without represent
ation," and the collector is about to levy on
her goods.-Erchange.
Lucy will lose her suit in Court, but win
her case outside of it. The American Rev
'oution was merely a successful rebellion if
the principle she contends for is to be for
ever limited to one sex only. In Kentucky
andCanada female tax payers vote in certain
cases; and no one, in those very conserva-
i've countries. complains of the innovation
or the abuse of the right. We believe that
to grant the right of suffrage to women
would purify politics more than any plan
that could be adopted.-Crusader Of Free
dom.
True, every word of it. But the Amer
lean people viii never recognize this inalien-
able right until the corruption of our poll
ties becomes so great and chronic that no.
thing but the infusion of so pure an element
INTO the body polite can save the country
irom ruin.

A WHEAT FIELD OF $500 AcREs-A
correspondent of the Missouri Republican
thus speaks of the wheat fields which he
noticed on a recent trip over the Great West
ern Railroad:
'.The Great Western passes through a
fertile farming district which challenges
comparison with any other portion of Hi
nois. Morgan. Sangamon and Macon coun-
ties are unrivalled in capacity of production.
The wheat fields which line the road, and
embellish it, too, with their robes of richest
emerald, are on grand scale. One of these
fields, a score of miles or more west of this
place, comprises 900 acres. 1t is all
owned by John Owley, Esq, of Springfield,
who broke up the whole this season, sowed
it with drills, thirteen or fourteen of which
were running at once; and from present
appearances the proprietor may hope to reap
$4,000 bushels from this immense tract
next July. Will it not be a grandly beau
tiful sight, $500 acres of golden grain

Horrible Murder.

ROCHESTER, Dec. 91.-Our city was yes
terday morning thrown into state of great
excitement by the discovery of the mangled
murdered body of Charles w. Littles, law
yer, of this city, in the Genesee river. few
rods below the falls. From the pools OF
blood and other evidences of a struggle, the
murderers were easily traced from the place
of the fatal conflict 10 the river, where they
attempted to conceal the evidence of their
crime by sinking the body of their victim.
The water being shallow, the body did not
float away from the shore, and was found at
O'Clock yesterday morning. The body
was Immediately taken to the police station,
and arrests made of his wife, her brother,
and several others of his relatives. From
the evidence it appears that Littles and his
wife did not live happily together. and that
a separation took place about year ago, but
for the past month or two they had lived
together again.
On the ground was discovered blood, and
other evidences of a conflict were found. A
piece of yictorine corresponding with one
worn by Mrs. Littles, and rosette match
ing one found in her possession, and a comb;
pair of spectacles said to belong to her
brother, Ira Stout, young man aged about
%, and the arm of a chair, said to have
been taken from the Office where Littles was
employed.
Mrs. Littles' left wrist and her brothers
left arm were found broken, showing that
they had been engaged in some extraordina-
ry conflict.
The evidence, so far, seems strongly
against the wife of the murdered man and
her brother, Ira Stout.
