WAsHINGroN, Nov. lO.-The State Department
has sent an official note to General Jerez, pointing
out the impropricty of his course, and expressing
the dissatisfaction with which the Department re-
CARDS his publication warning the public against
purchasing tickets for Nicaragua by the steamer
Washington.
1t is true that VIM. White has had repeated in
terviews with Gen. Walker, his only object being,
he says, to ascertain whether Walker designed
that should he be restored to power in Nicaragua,
to Interfere with the chartered rights of the Allan
tic and Pacific Ship Canal Company. Walker has
given him assurance that, in such an event, he
would respect those rights, any other American
interests. Mr. White. to-day, sent note to the As
sistant Secretary of State with the request that it
be shown to Mr.. Cass, denying that any of Walkers
1ilibusters went to Nicaragua in the steamer Wash
inglon, and saying that the company will not know
mgly permit such persons to go thither in their
vessels.
The Collector of the Port of Mobile has been ap-
piled to for clearance to Walker emgrant YES
sell but has referred the question to the Secretary
of the Treasury.
Walker left for Mobile to-day He and Col. Hen
ningsen last night reconciled their former differ
ences.

On Sunday last, just after the Rev. Sam'l Find
ley, of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg,
had ended his sermon, a respectable old gentleman
a member of the congregation, suddenly seized
with mt, and becoming frantic with rage from
some imaginary cause, he rushed at medical pen-
tleman, upon whom he was in the act of inficting
violence One of the elders who was lifting col
lection at the time, noticed the movements of the
old man, seized hold of him, and with the assis-
tance of Others succeeding in keeping him in SUBJ
lection. While this was going on ladies shrieked
and tainted, and one man, it is said, hoisted a win
dow and leaped to the ground As soon as quiet
had been restored, and the old gentleman convey
ed to his residence the affrighted females were
taken home Some who had not sufficiently recov-
cred were taken in carriages, and one or two, who
had swooned,w were carried home .

Grlihth, leaving his wife and large family in des-
utute circumstances. King owned good farm,
ana was, before this occurrence considered an up
rlght man. He sold, leaving his farm, which
was supposed to be worth 1000, for S600in ready
money, so great was his desire to get away. Great
excitement prevails in the neighborhood, and it is
thought be will be followed; but up to this time
nothing is known of his whereabouts

ILLINOIS ELEcrGOY.-The Chicago Herald SAYS
that it continues to receive news ''stengthen-
ing the probability that Douglas is Defeated
Every mail decreases his chances. Present
appearances indicate that there will be no
election of United States Senator in Illinois
until lSG0 We hope such may be the result Ger
tainly no Black Republican ought to be elected,
and we honestly believe it would be very impolite
and improper for Democrats to rc-elect Stephen A.
Douglas, who has, already, done more than the
whole Black Republican party, without his aid,
ever could have done, to disorganize and defeat the
Democracy OF the country, and who, if reelected
by Democrats, will be clothed afresh by them with
power and prestige which will enable him utterly
to defeat our party in 1850, and give the govern
ment into the hands of Seward, Greeley, and their
abolition allies. We believe the Democratic menu
bers elect of the Legislature of them at least
will view the matter in this light and act according
ly. We believe, from all the indications perceptble
at present, that the defeat of Douglas is certain,
and we find there are many, even among his follow
ers and most particular personal and political
friends-the cool-headed, common sense portion of
them-who entertain the same belief"
A bill has been introduced in the Georgia Legis-
lature to establish general system of education for

its sale, setting apart two-thrds of its value for

The United States chartered steamer Atlanta
came out of the dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy
! Y ard on Tuesday, and is now so completely i'm
proved that she could hardly be recognized as the
same vessl that arrived at Brooklyn in very rick
city condition a few weeks ago. Everything that
the ingenuity of the officials could do to render her
capable of bearing unninchingly the combined
effects of rough weather, South American pam
peros, and the action of heavy metal, has been so
capitally executed that we must acknowledge the
Atlanta will prove an acquisition to the invading
squadron.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-ln a letter to the
directors of the company, Mr.. Whtehouse states
his belief that the cable can be readily recovered,
and saws:
A few days testing, guided by the experience
gained during the manufacture and subsequent use
of the cable, will in all probability enable me to as
certain this beyond doubt.
If the result of this examination be such as to
satisfy my own Judgment shall then be prepared
to make to the Company the following offer
will undertake at my own cost, aud ut my own
risk, to reopen communication with Newtound-
land, and, further, to maintain it for given mum

THE SIBERIAN TELEGRAPH PRoJEcr.-It has
already been announced that a project was on foot
for the establishment of telcgraphic communication
between Europe and America via the Russian pos
sessions. correspondent of the New Prussian
Gazette says From Portland, at the mouth of the
Columbia, in the Pacific, to Moscow, is only 200O
miles, which is not very great distance when it is
considered that In America the lines extend to 1000
The letter states positively that this project will be
carried into effect. We have reason to believe that
the line of telegraph from St. Petersburg to Mos
COW will be extended to Kiachkta, by which means
news might be received from Pekin in week
Should this be done all the nations who have rnla
tions with China will be forced to have recourse to
this line, as being the shortest means of communi
cation.

says:
''The Wichita Indians seem to have been seized
with wholesome alarm from the severe chastise-
ment which our troops have given the Camanches
They were witnesses of the late fight between Ma
jOr Van Dorm and the Camanches, it having taken
place near their village. The Camanches, in fact
in their flight, ran precpitately through their.v-
lage, mixing them up with the Camanches, so that
several Wichitas were killed by the pursuers
through mistake. They have been sly rogues and
cunning thieves themselves, and, not knowing how
soon 1T may be their turn for punishment are seek
ing refuge in the Reserves. They have asked and
obtained permission of Major Neghbors to remove
to and remain in the Lower or Brazos Reserve un-
til further provided for, and at last accounts were
coming in. This is among the first of the good
fruits OF the stern measures recently adopted
against the wild Indians. We shall see the Canaan
ches following their example soon if the same mea-
sures are continued"
The Gazette reports the arrival at Austin of Dr.
Ryan, of Lamrassas, bearing the express to the
Governor detailing late Indian deprcdations in
Brown and Lampassas counties, and petitioning the
Executive to call out Il company of Rangers to pro-
tect the exposed settlement in that region.
The account below given was drawn up by Dr.
Ryan, from the afidavits of respectable citizens
and from information of a reliable character
''On last Saturday Mr. Joshua Jackson and his
family were found murdered, supposed to have been
killed on Thursday. The lady and one Of the sons
were found at the wagon, where they were gather
ing pecans; the old gentleman was found about $50
yards off; one of the boys and two girls were not
found but are yet missing. The girls are supposed
to have been taken into captivity. The trail Of the
Indians was followed to the river, when they
stopped and got water, and probably ate some pro-
visions that Mr.. Jackson had with him-judging
from the cloth that was found. One of the little
girls stockings was found stained with blood.
Conformation reached Lampassas on Sunday
and on Sunday night Mr.. John j. Jackson, son of
the murdered man, with a small company, started
for the scene of the murder.
"On yesterday morning messenger came from
the main Lampassas, about twenty miles north of
the town OF Lampassas, bearing the intelligence
that fourteen Indians were herdng horses Every
man that could get gun started Immediately to
the assistance of those citizens who were living in
the neighborhood.
"Business is entirely suspended at Lampassas,
for all feel that their wives and children may be
butchered at any moment. We have no arms and
no ammunition
In consequence of the heavy rains the Brazos rose
some ten twelve feet, and is now in excellent
boating condition. There was violent storm at
Galveston on the lst, but little damage was done.
The warehouse of Mr.. Henry de St. Cyr, the French
Consul, was struck by lightning, but not much in
jured.
