SENATOR BucKLANp.-The Columbr

SENATOR BUcKLAND.-The Columbus
correspondent Of the Sandusky Register,
writing jan. Soth, SAYS
"Nothing Of any moment beyond the
reading of new bills, DC, has transpired in
either House up to the hour of recess, OK
cept an onslaught on the Attorney Gene
raj by your Senator, for some fancied remis-
ness OF the former in tha prosecution of the
Canal contract suits now pending. Paul
and Others cannot but think that the Sena-
tor is rather too bitter in this whole matter
this session as well as last. The Attorney
General will not charge, officially and unde,
oath as the Attorney Of the State that he
believes fraud has been practiccd in the
matter of these contracts, until no has bet
ter and more conclusive evidence of fraud
than has yet been furnished him by the re-
pudiators Of last winter. When reliable
and intelligent witnesses aro produced tc
establish the charge, Attorney General VOL
colt is not the man to shrink from the ful
and entire discharge Of his duty to th'
State"
The people in this region think our Sen
ator is doing just what they sent him t
Columbus for, and they will back him up
The people of Ohio wish to SEQ those Ca
nal Contracts vigorously prosecuted.

The INDIAN WAR ON THE Pacific
CoAsr.-The Indians in Oregon and
Washington Territories are formidable
in numbers as we'll as in courage and
audacity, and the war which has COM
menccd between portion Of them and
Col Steptoe's command seems likely
to be bloody and protracted.
From the report of j. Ross Browne
Esq, the special Commissioner sent
by the government to the Territories
Of Oregon and Washington to investi
gate the facts of the war of 1855, and
also describe their condition as late
as 1857, we learn that the number Of
Indian warriors in Oregon is 10000
and in Washington about $4,000. II
the neighborlood of Puget Sound il
1855 there were no less than $500
warriors, fully equal to any othel
tribe in strength and courage. The
most efficient forces brought agains
the Indians hitherto have been volun
teers, and it may prove a fortunate
circumstance, if the Indian hostilities
are continued, that so many hardy adj
venturcrs are now seeking the gold
region on Frazcr's River.

Douglas, has opened the campaign
in Illinois, OH his hobby of popular
sovereignty" which he extols to the
skies as one of the most remarkable
of modern political doctrines, wherein
is concentrated all the rights and all
the happiness for a people that can
well be imagined. 1t has inspired all
his labors, has been the beginning and
end Of all his hopes, and when he can
see it fairly established, like Simeon
of old, he will be prepared to depart
in peace. We apprehcnd that farce
must be about played out. Accord

A brutal murder was committed in
Chicago on the 9th inst, by a livery
stable hostlcr upon his wife. His
name was McNamee and he worked
in Currier & Wright's stable. He had
been on a drunken spree, as usual
and in his drunken fit beat and bruis
ed his poor wife till life was extinct
She left two little children, who are
now at the mercy, not of brutal
father, for he is locked up in Jail, but
of an equally unfeeling world. The
parties were from New Haven, Ct.
and the wife had toiled necessarily
with her washboard and needle for q
sustenance for herself and children.

Proceedings Of the Railroad Convention
HELD AT WAN ERIY, JULY l5rn & lsrn, IS

The Convention was called to orde,
at IL o'clock A. NJ, by L. B. Croker
of Oswego, N. Y, who in very able
manner explained the object for which
the convention had been called, tc
consider the best means of accomplish
ing the building of a Cedar Valley
Railroad.
He stated also that the Gil. & n
X. r., were not able to proceed as
rapidly as was desirable, but that
company would cooperate to the best
of their ability in the project of build
ing the road as separate line, should
the people along the Valley deem il
best to make a separate organization
for that purpose.
A temporary organization of tn
meeting was, on motion of Mr. Crockcl
effected, by calling the Hon. G.. W
Maxfeld, of Bremen County, to tin
Chair, and appointing w. w. Walker
editor of the Cedar Valley Times, Sec
rotary.
A motion was carried for the aI
pointmcnt of a committee of two
from each county along the line, to rc
port names of officers for a permancn
organization.
The chair appointed as such CON
mittcc:
Linn-Wcare & Bcvcr.
Bcnton-Runyan & Boyd.
Black Hawk-Bagg & Overman
Brcmcr-Rowcn IL Smccd.
Chickasaw-Casc & Way.
Floyd-Lehmkuhl & Congcr.
Mitchell-Jenkins q Chase.
Mr.. Traer, Of Vinton, moved com
mittce of two from each county to re
port plan of operation. The follow
ing are the committee
Linn-Bever & Walker.
Bcnton-Traer & Peat
Black Manifestations & Bogg
Bremer-Harmon & Pattce.
Chickasaw-Haskell & Samples.

Mr. Croker being called out, mad,
a statement of the circumstances by
which the grant of land to the Min
neapolis and Cedar Valley Railroad
in Minnesota, was accomplished, which
was brought about by the influence OF
himself, as agent of the G. l. Il \. r
K. Company, in connection with Gen
Shields, of Minnesota.
lie stated, also, that Gen. Shields
would give his influence to that road
which would make continued Cedar
Valley Railroad from Cedar Rapids to
Minneapolis, and in this connection he
would state, that he could not give
his influence to the Cedar Falls Rail
road Company, for the reason that
such broken road would not secure
the united cooperation of the com
mon interest of the whole Valley and
of the Railroads intcrsecting it
The Convention then adjourned to
meet at 2 O'Clock p. NJ.

RAILROAD BRIDGE AT PRAIRIE DU CHEN
From the Prairie du CHEN Courier
we learn that the bridge over the
Mississippi toxthe Island, near the
freight depot of the Milwaukee g. Mis-
sissippi Railroad, is completed. This
Island it will be remembered, was re.
Gently granted to the Company by
Congress. A Depot is shortly to b'
erected upon it, and the railroad com
pany intend making it their main ter
minus at Prairie du Chen. The
Courier speaks of the construction
of this bridge as a great improve
ment," but gives no description what
ever of the structure.

Mr.. Webster was called upon by
an old gentleman from Nantucket, to
undertake cause for him, the argu.
ment of which was approaching, and
his client asked him what would be
his terms. "Why," said Mr.. W., a.
cannot argue it under one-thousant
dollars for, although the case is not
heavy one, it will require me to hang
about the court for week, and l
should be as willing to be actually en-
gagged for a week, as to lose my time
in this way" "WelI," said the client,
eff | give you thousand dollars, will
you argue any other case in which
you might be employed?" Certain
ly," said the advocate. The bargain
was closed. The old man having an
eye to business, applied to several
persons in Nantucket who had cases
on the issue list, and made his own
terms for Mr.. Webster's services, and
actually received four hundred dollars
beyond what he had paid; and, be-
sides that, gained his cause gratis.

Drowned.

1t was reported in town last Satur-
dav that man was drowned in the
Shell Rock River, at Rockford, on the
day previous. lie was seen attempt
ing to cross on the mill pond in skiff,
when, losing control Of the boat, the
strong current carried him over the
dam into the foaming waters below,
and after coming to the surface once
or twice he disappeared entirely. The
man was a stranger to the Rockford
people. two or three of whom saw him
drown, but inquiry soon led to the sus-
picion that he was Jeremiah Eaton,
from Saline, Washtcnaw county, Mich
igan. Mr.. Eaton was man of prop
crty, and large landholder in this
vicinity, who had been stopping for
the previous week or two in st. Charles.
He was at Ulster, Thursday night, and
was known to leave there for Rockford
the next day. The news rapidly
spread through the county, and the
citizens of Rockford, st. Charles and
other places, turned out en- mas@ to
find the body. The river was searched
for several days, but up to the time OF
our going to press the body had not
been found. We understand that Mr.
Eaton had wife and five children at
his home in Michigan, and should the
fears Of our people that he is drowned
prove true, their bereavement will b'
sore indeed.

This writer, who fondly imagines him.

out an exceedingly large amount OF

Possibly the McGregor Company have
discovered that something besides

however, that the railroad compan,
will survive the shock, whether tn,

ment, and was called to order by the
President, Hon. G. w. Maxfeld, of
Bremen.

without dissenting voice.
Mr.. Shane, of Benton county, moved
an amendment, changing the number

Mr.. Sessions, of said company, re-
piled to the inquiry by stating that
fifty thousand dollars Of stock had
been raised at Cedar Falls.
DR.. Downs, of Mitchell county, be-
ing called out, made some cxplana-
tons, in relation to the steps which
have been taken in regard to Rail

stated that Platt Smith, Esq, of the
Dubuque e. Pacific Railroad company,
in conversation had with him last
spring, remarked that he had sent IA
man to Cedar Falls, to organize a
company to occupy the Valley north
of that point, but that the Dubuque

which Mr.. Peat replied.
DIR. Noycs, of Chickasaw county,

pany.
Mr.. Poindexter, of Floyd county,
next followed in the discussion.
Mr.. Walker of Linn county, rose in
order to correct misrepresentation in
regard to the time at which the Chica-
go, Iowa and Nebraska Road will be

ted that all the grading was done or
nearly done, and that all the iron ex-
cept for fifteen miles of the road was
purchased, and is now being sent for
fard.
Mr.. Felt, of Chickasaw county, fol-
lowed in the general discussion.
