From Washington.

WASHINGTON, NOV. Z.
Capt Lavalette, in letter to the Secretary
of the Navy, dated "Naples, Oct. IA" says he
had taken American Consul Nicholson to Tu-
mis- in the Wabash. 1t was customary to sa-
lutte the English and French Consuls when-
ever they arrived or departed, but no other
such officers were similarly honored. But as
our treaty with Tunis placed our Consuls on
a footing with the most favored notions, and
this fact having been explained, the authori-
ties cheerfully accorded the salute to both
Cant Lavaette ard Consul Nicholson.
TIL carriages Of the Rey were in waiting at
tha landing, where nur officers were received
by the persons OF the higlesi rank and es
c0rted to the palace. Inc interview was
very satisfactory, ihe By saying lie should
e,tieavOr to cultivate tEr most friendly reia
ton, with the United States. Lav"lette adds:
-. clearly di>cuveIcd that our presence was
having a heneiiciaI effect on the Governmc Mt,
an especially with reference to the p 'si-ion
of our Consul am satisfied that the short
trip to Tunis will condrce to the best Interests
Of the United States"

sive and highly injurious to the good feeling

There are fanatics in the North who would
willingly exterminate slavery by war and ra-
pine. There are fanatics at the South who
would willingly extend slavery by war and
rapine. Which is the worst crime in the
sight of God and man? The loss Of Brown
and his party has thinned out the abolition
fanatics at the North. Let us not raise up
other fanatics there by indecent abuse of
innocent men. and endeavoriag to make them
responsible for old Br,w WINS crime"

w A letter from Paris says that Senator
Seward has gone to Egypt. 1t is very bold
step, at least SO it is considered by Parisians,
for an American to make such an expedition
at this time of year, and more or less anxiety
will be felt about him until heard from. Bar
ring the inSalubrity of the season, he has cho-
sen the best time to see many of the coun-
tries he has visited, especially Rome, Spain.
and Egypt, for he escapes the throng of Amer
leans and English, and the sharks they bring
about them. that infest the highways, and
thus his view Of the people and their institu-
tons is less dbstructed. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er he will be able to 60 down the Nile, and
there is some danger that he may be detained
longer in Quarantine than will be agreeable,
80 that his fate is naturally the subject o.
considerable speculation there among Others
than politicians.

the Epidemic Known as the Putrid Erysipelas, by
which so many valuable lives were lost, tested it
frequently and it never failed of efecting speedy

From the Mantorvlle dodge Coy Express.
u. S. SENAToR-D. S. NORTON, about the
first important business to which our Legis
lature, soon to assemble will direct its atten-
ton, will be the election Of U. S. Senator.
The large preponderance of Republicans in
both houses, will render the election OF Re
publican certain, if they can unite on man.
This will be delicate duty, as there will pro-
badly be large number of ofcandidates for the
place; there will necessarily be concession on
all sides, and spirit of Cancellation manifested
by all. But We hope that the whole matter
will be conducted with an eye single to the
one great object, rising far above mere ques-
tons of local or personal clans-the election
of the best man.
Like every body else, we have our prefer
ence. That preference is ID. 5. Norton, of
Winona. There may be others with whom
we are not acquainted, whose ability and
claims are as guvd his. We know HIM,
and would be glad to see him 60 to the U. S.

speeches in the Senate Of our last Legislature.
We remember the noble manner in which he
