Thomas Francis Meagher comes out unequlvocaIy
for Haskins and Clark for Congress Clark has an
nounced himself to be an Independent Democrat,
and not on the Cincinnati platform. Haskins is an
anti-Lecompton Democrat and goes for the Clncln-
natl Platform as he understands it. The NelCs says
We are for Haskins and Clarke because they are
the right track and by their constituents alone
should be held to account for their actions whereas
the Federal ofiicehoders and Administration in
fuence have been persecuting and magning them
for months. They are men of education, intellect
and honesty, and should be preferred to any poli-
cal tricksters who may be thrust-accordng to the
usages of the party-upOn the party.
We do not like to see the people driven or coaxed
to the polls to-day and discarded tomorrow, or
bribed with a weeks work in the Navy ard, or a
petty situation in the purlicus Of the Custom House

voices be heard, not behind n screen, but ringing

Heroic Acr.-The Keokuk Journal of the 23d,
relates this incident:
At the Lincoln meeting in Carthage, H.. on yes
! terday, Captain Apper, of this place, was there
with his icld-piece, firing salute, which he had
been employed by the Republicans to do. The
powder being bad, in the Of the firing the gun
went off prematurely. James Lynch was at the
muzzle, ramming the cartridge, when it ignited.-
! Captain Appler, who was at the vent, finding
premature discharge was inevitable, called, ''Get
away jim nOlulng on TO te vent tlll Ine IRE DufnL
his finger off up to the first joint, and until Lynch
had escaped the range of the ramrOd.
| 1t is seldom in chronicng accident of this
| kind, that we find men possessing the nerve and
herOitc fOrttude that Capt. ~ displayed on this oc-
| casion to save his friend from untmely death.
| Both were considerably burnt by powder, but
neither dangerously hurt. Captain Appler had his
finger amputated Immediately, and is on the street
! to-day.
PrrrsnUnG Pa, Oct. 2S.-This morning before
the full branch of the Supreme Court, the of
| the Commonwealth ex. rel. Thomas versus the
| Commissioners of Allegheny County was heard on
an application for mandamus to compel the
| pondents to levy railroad tax. George Harding,
for the petitioner, opened the case, and suggested
| an amendment of the record by substituting the
name of Zaccheus Patterson, the new Commissioner,
for that of Jacob Toner, whose term of office has
| expired, which agreed to- The gentleman
spoke for two hours in able argument, which was
responded to by Thomas Williams in behalf of the
respondents, WhO opening his Speech referred to the
record as defective. After discussion, it was
agreed to wave the objection against the appica-
tlon on the ground of ofinformaity. He spoke near
y three hours and was listened to with much atten-
! tlon Mr. Meredith Will make the closing argu-
ment. Great interest is manifested in the case and
the Court room was crowded all day with specta-
tors.
SIBERIAN TELEGRApH.-The following appears
in the lnratid Russo: "a New York correspond
ent of the Neo Prussidn Gazette announces that it
is in contemplation to unite Europe with America
by means of an electric telegraph across the Russian
possessions in Siberia and America. From Port
land at the mouth of the Columbia in the Pacific
to Moscow, is only 1000 miles, which is not very
great distance, when it is considered that in Amer
lea the lines extend to 900. The letter states pos
ltvely that this project will be carried into effect
We have reason to believe that the line of tele-
graph from ST. Petersburg to Moscow will be ex-
tended to kiachtka, by which means news might
be received from Pekin in a week. Should this be
done, all the nations who have relations with China
will be forced to have recourse to this line as be-
ing the shortest means of communication"
A correspondence the New York Herald, writing
from the African squadron, says:
From what learned at Madeira homes have baar
abandoned relative to the rescuscitation of the
grape Our Yankee grape fourshes under the su-
pervision of Mr. March, the American Consul
Wine IS very high, and a good bottle of Madeira
costs 81; by the gallon it is worth S4 As vet the
Isabella grape has not produced good wine was
gratlfed to hear from every of the deep love
borne towards our Consul The amount of his
charity is untold, and the peasantry tbrouphont
the island love him. Mr. March is now absent
and his health is not good. Each steamer that ar
rlyes this question is first asked by hundreds: GLOW
is Mr.. March ?"
SHAMEFUL REPRESENTATION OF THE UN1rEp
STATES AT TAHIrT.-We have lately received re-
peated accounts of the disgraceful conduct of
Henry Owner, United States consul at Tahiti. We
have been informed that during almost the entire
time he lies drunk in the streets there and has
been repeatedly picked up intoxicated even in his
consular uniform, and carried home Lately in
one of his drunken sprees, he fell from the BRIDGE
into gutter, and striking his face upon n stone
was picked up, not only dripping with filth, but
with broken nose. On another occasion sona
sailors found him in taro-patch and carried him t
the ealaboose as "drunk" He, however, was
not confined, as a French officer recognized in him

GREAT LEAD DIsCovERY-Near Scales Mound
day or two ago, MIR. Van Blake, while digging for
mineral, struck an open crevce lode at 20 feet be-
low the surface. The vein is 10 feet across and is
extraordinary thick. In twelve hours 1850 were
raised, and the supply seems to be inexhaustble:-
The piles of mineral now aceumullted around this
lucky hit are said to be small pyramids. Here is
