EXPRESS FROM CAPT. FoRp-Seargeant

EMPRESS FROM CAPT FORD.-Seargeant F.
A. Kirk, an express rider from Capt. Ford s
Camp. in Comanche county. reached this city
on Thursday last, having left camp on the
18th inst. The trip was performed with great
speed, and perhaps less time than any here
tofore.
The account of the company being all
slaughtered by the Indians is all false The
Captain had made an extensive scout of 700
miles. Owing to the fall of snow he did not
succeed in overtaking the Indians. He APP

the patience, endurance and good conduct of

two horses were stolen from the camp. He
attributes it to the carelessness of sentinel.

A FRIEND, writing to us from Knoxville,
says: Il hope your part of the State may
blaze with that enthusiasm that is now mani
testing itself in ours for John Netherland.
: All is well here, and we ask nothing
but that West and Middle Tennessee shall do
their duty"
Weexpected nothing less than to receive
such cheering accounts from East Tennessee,
but they are gratifying nevertheless, and in
response. we beg to assure the Eastern friends
of Mr.. Netherland that our duty shall be done.
So far as our knowledge extends there is no
division, no distraction. no heart-burnings
among the Opposition in the Western Divis-
ion, and we are willing to hazard the asser-
ton not only that Netherlands vote will be
greater than his warmest supporters else
where anticipate. but that we shall make a
gain of two members of Congress in addi-
tion.-Menap. Enquirer.

ANOTHER Rumors reached town
yesterday, which afterwards were confirmed
by letter received by mercantile firm of
this city, that a dangerous crevasse had taken
place at the plantation of MesSrs. Bouligny &
Ganuchean, about thirty-fve miles above New
Orleans, on the left bank of the river. The
break is said TO be from one hundred and fifty
to two hundred feet in width. and the water
is pouring through with such force that it will
be difficult to close the break. The waters
will soon make their way, if the crevasse be
not stopped. across the New Orleans. J tckson
and Great Northern railroad 10 the Lake.
This Is unpleasant news. and We trust that
more detailed information will prove the evil
not to he so great as it is now represented TO
be.-N. o. Pie, AprH u

THE LAFoURcHE CREvAssE.-We learn that
there is every prospect of the early closing of
the crevasse on Bayou Lafourche, which we
noticed a couple of days since as endanger-
ing the regular travel of the Opelousas Rail-
road.
and promptly to work and large force of
men is busily employed closing up the breach
in the levee from either end. Fortunately,
the water runs over the land without cutting
a galley, and the bayou has besides fallen
three feet-thereby materially assisting the
closing operations.
The water covers about a mile and half of
the Opelousas Railroad track. bat not in We
locity and depth sufficient to prevent the mails
being taken across.
By Saturday it is expected that the crevasse
will be closed.-N. o. Pic, 22d.

Vote for Wilt!

rS2-Some Of our Lccompton friends
have discovered in their candidate for
District Attorney, oratorical powers ri
yalling Henry Clay, and cxpatiatc large
y on the splendid speeches he would
make-if elected. We would not detract
in the least from his abilities, but would
remind the taxpayers that ''speech-ma-
king propensity is not at all desirable in
Court. Some lawyers have an unfortu-
nate habit Of spreading Memselces,' in
stead Of their cases, whenever they can
get Il jury fastened before them: but the
County has to pay tor time needlessly CON
sumed, and the Jury is not benefited.
Mr.. Linn may be more modest and uu-
pretending man-perhaps too much 50
for his own good-but he prepares his ca
seH well, presents their merits plainly and
with few words to the proper tribunal, and
wastes no time to display himself in an
idle set speech. His direct, practical
turn Of mind, is better fitted for that very
responsible position, than If he exhibited
more Of fluent aud spread-oarle style Of
thought and action.

"Forewarnsd, Forearmed !"

The Buchanan men are boast;ng, very
loudly, Of a triumph, next Tuesday, in
Union county, and are using every means,
fair and unfair, to accomplish it. They
say they are ccrtaia to elect Roush--cr-
pect to elect Bucher-hope to elect Kel-
ly-and think it proJoJie they will get
Elder and Ritter. The editor Of the Sc
linsgrovc Timcs-thc spokesman of Cum
mings, who is Buchanan's Navy Agent in
Philad.-has- been in all the towns Of
Union; was ',jolly;" and reports first rate
chance Of carrying ali the i4ecompton Tick
ct MHinJrry, he thinks will makea great
gain for The Free Trade, pro-Slavery par
ty, and lihite Deer he is certain Will give
almost an unanimous vote for Ritter.
The game of Bray" is one always re-
sorted to by that party. 1t was last year,
and year before, when they lost every man
on their ticket. Still, it Is the part of
wisdom not to disregard their boasts
There is some disaticction III our party
many are away from home-and, general
ly, there is too much apathy. We may
be defeated, by these means. When the
omissarics of Buchanan's oflice-holdcrs
visit nearly every tavern in the county,
and call upon every 'iishy" member Of
our party, it is Il pretty sure sign that
there Is ''moncy about" and corruption
rife. Cummings is Delegate to their next
State Convention, and in the general
calmncss, and too hopeful state of our
party, buchanan Is anxious to carry Penn
syNania, that hc may have Il fair show,
and strong cndorsement-if not a NOM
ination-at the Charleston Convention.
At any rate, We have 1earnod our party
friends Of their dtagcr: let them, ia.!t- .
oda1ty, strive to arert it.

Vote for Cochran!

hLIBERAL.-The Locoeoco organ of
Snyder county opposes Col. Wagon
seller because, last winter, he would
not vote for Railroad Bill, on the
west side of the River, tcrn,ina,iny at
Northumberland. Wagonseller con-
tended for our right to have the Road
run up Mroayh Cnion county also, so that
Winfield, LewiSburg, West Milton.
New Columbia, and Hightown, with
all the Middle and Western Townships
may have the benefit of it, instead Of
being compelled, for ever, to pay a
River Bridge Tax to reach Rail
way. We would not hinder Snyder
county from having a Road-whv
should the Times clique try to deprive
Union Of 4 Road? Col. .Wagenseller
should lose no votes on account of
an act Of simple Justice to this county.

Vote for HAYES!

FAcrs.-Some Of the Democracy boast
that Mr.. RoUsH never was and can not
be defeated. This is an error. Most of
his offices were appointment. In lS47,
Jacob llaus, Jr., Of Miiilinburg, defeated
Mr.. Roush, then running by the Demo-
Gratis as Volunteer candidate for Pro-
thonotary (although, at that election, Lew
isburg gave Roush Ia maj) During the
Railroad quarels, in 1853, the Railroad
men in this end of the county helped elect
MIR. Roush by l26 votes over Mr. Hack
enberg. It was the strong Division vote
in this end that gave Mr. Roush his ma
jority in 1856. These local causes are
no longer of account, and strict party and
personal motives will determine the pres
ent contest.

We repeat the fact-thc Commissioner
hare no po,cer TO build Bridge without
the order of Grand jury from all parts
of the county, confirmed by the Court.
If they first advise it, the Commissioners
must build it. Those who get up these
lies, know they are falsifying, and trying

Messrs Thomas Reber and Samuel L..
Beck are the men most intercstcdin push

Mr.. REBER-as well as others in Lewis

and We trust will sufficiently ycntilatc that
unfair and wanton trick:
Editors Of Chronicle. Genlemen-r see by
the last argus that the old charge that the
County Commissioners are TO buIld a bridge
over Buiialoe creek for my special accummu-
datlon, is renewed. II Will be remembered
that last year, if Mr.. PToSS was elected, II was
asSerled,a 4 bridge was certain to follow. He
was elected, the year has passed, and not
word has been saId by any one, as | am aware
of, on the subject. Now, if Mr. Marshall
succeeds Of the Argus is 10 be bclievcd) am
TO have bridge, sure. | would have thought
that lie, once exploded, would mol again be
resorted 10 even for political effect. Ii IS due
10 Mr.. Marshall, as well as 10 myself, that
should say that never have had a word with
him on that or any other question involving
his duties as Commissioner. Whatever my
interest on the subject of bridge may have
been in the past, since my late purchase Of
the Musser farm, that lnteres, has now become
entirely identified with the present bridge,
near the river. it ailording me access 10 nv
late purchase, and through that purchase 10
my other lands further up the creek. As my
intended residence, with the bulk of my prop
erty. is on the river road. ii is not my interest.
nor desire, that travel should be diverted from
that road
When the bridge near the river was built
several years since, II was a mooted question
with the Commissioners whether ii should be
moved up the creek fourth of mile where |
II is alleged now want il. Such being the
feeling then, il Is fair 10 infer, that, should a
bridge be built above, and the lower one, by |
some accident, (as on Two former occasinns.1 !

built. My interests, now. being so entirely in /
