An American Vessel DESTROYED BY
q British Steamer.

The Navy Department is in receipt of
advices from Commander Totten, of the
African squadron, announcing the search,
seizure and burning of the brig Rufus
Soole, Captain Anderson, by the steamer
Viper, of the British squadron, on the
same station. One of the R. SIS seaman
testified that it was said by some of the
crew of the Viper hat she was burned
because they had no men to send away in
her, and that they had orders to burn one
out of every three vessels taken. The
seamen were landed on the beach of Ka-
benela. Com. Totten had demanded an
explanation of the commander of the vi
per, who responded to three categorical
questions put by Com. Totten, as follows:
First. Had the vessel the American
flag flying at the time she was visited by
the boat? Answer. She had the Amer
lean flag flying; and from information
from the British government, dated the
9Th and 22d of July last, there VIA every
Just cause to believe that in this case a
fraudulent use of the flag was being made
and that the vessel was engaged in the
slave trade. Consequently she was visit
ed.
Second. If her papers were correct ?
Answer. In my opinion thep were in
correct, some of them undoubtedly so,
Third. If the American flag was still
flying when the matches were opened?
Answer. The American flag was not
flying when the vessels matches were
opened. The flag and the papers were
thrown INTO the sea by the captain, with
out even a suggestion on my part.
Com. Totten replied that it was unsat-
isfactory, as it made no mention Of the
burning of the brig without legal inyesti-
CATION. Com. Hodkinton rejoined by re-
ferring the American officer to the British
Admiral, and this closes the report.

The Liberals had been routed at Neg
Popular Sovereignty.

In ii judgement the Washington IN
ION could be much better employed as a
democratic paper, than in writing long ed
itorials against popular sovereignty. The
people of the Territories will have their
own way in the regulation of their insti-
tutions. Theorize and speculate about it
as much as the Union may, and draw
hair-splitting, fine constitutional distinc-
tons in its arguments, the great and stub
born facts remain-that the practical
power, on all subjects of domestic concern,
cannot be taken from the people of Ter
r~itories. If they are in favor of slavery,
it will go there. If they are opposed to
it that institution can never get a foot
hold, and never ought to. If they have
not the power to exclude it directly, they
will do it indirectly, and by the power of
public opinion in the Territory. Slave
holders will not take slaves into g commu-
nifty where a majority of the people are
opposed to the institution. The people.
North and South, might as well look the
matter in the face, onk submit TO the pop
ular sovereignty settlement of the terri
torial question. 1t is right, too Those
who do not live in the territories have no
right to dictate to them in matters Of do
nestle concern. They have no right to
seek TO prevent them from authorizing
slavery, and they have no right 70 crowd
it upon them in opposition to their wishes.
Nine out of ten Of the people of the Uni
ted States, North as well as South, we
venture to say, are in favor of the people
of the Territories, like those of the States
deciding the character Of their own insti-
tutions.
The Union ought to know that the pop
ular. sovereignty doctrine cannot be struck
down. 1t is too deeply planted in the
hearts of the PROFESSIONALLY is this SO
in the West. To deny It's correctness
here, is considered little better than polit-
ical treason.-CSa. Enc.

From HaYti.

Dates from Port-au-P Prince to the 10th
ult. have been received.
The revolutionhas extended to all parts
of the empire. There had been severe
fighting at St. Marie, both at sea and
land, with considerable loss of life. The
Emperor Soulouque had been compelled
to retreat with his forces.
In the naval engagement off St. Marie
six ships and the Admiral's vessel were
badly damaged. The Imperial feet had
returned to Port-au-p Prince.
Re-inforcements were going to Gen.
Geffard from all points, and il was believ-
ed that the Emperor would be unable tc
force his way back to the Capital. The
city was being surrounded by the Repub.
lican forces. s-
The Emperor's stock of coffee had
been seized and sold at auction.
The city of Port-au-P Prince was under

The Evening Posts correspondent
says:
The report of the intention, on the part
of Mr.. Hunters friends, to cut off certain
branches of the public service, will have
the injurious tendency to pour into Wash
ington a lobby, more powerful than Con-
gress itself, to prevent the very thing pro.
posed. The mail contractors on sea and
land employ an army of hangers on. 1t
is understood that one steamship compa-
ny alone affords to pay all the expenses
of an official, who occupies a high position
in this government. That official lives
in this city in the most extravagant style.
He keeps open house, rides in his private
carriage with l%iveried servants, has his
private box at the theatre, attends all le-
wees, and gives the most expensive din
ners and levees himself. His expenses
at the last session of Congress are estim-
ated at about twenty-five thousand dol
lars! He is not reckoned a rich man,
and his salary IS only $4,000 per annum.
If n steamship company can afford to
support an agent like the one described.
please consider the social and financial
power which all the companies on sea and
land can throw into this city to impede
the progress of any economical legisla-
ton.

personal attractions, that she attended the
levees of President Adams, but, like the
Puritains and the poor Missionaries Of

Vice President Breckenridge, among
other ~notables, was serenaded on the ev-
ening of the celebration of the admission
Of Oregon. After referring briefly to
that matter, Mr. Breckenridge delivered
the following, what we call a big speech
ma very few words.
"Having been called upon to say some
thing about Cuba, he remarked we talked
toe much, and did too little. When Eng
land wished to do a thing she did it, and
talked afterwards. If the Island of Cuba
instead of being placed at the mouth OF

A Word TO the Wise.

The attention of our business men is
particularly invited to the following:
Disseminating to advertise is like ia
king down ones sign. 1t is a sort of in
timation of retirement from business, and
the public treat it as such. Or they may
regard it rs something gone wrong IN the
business, which requires privacy for the
purpose of investigation. Whatever con-
struction may be put upon it, the result is
disastrous.
Now we advise all our readers who
may have fallen into the common error of
the season, to come out of their holes and
put up their signs nee more, and to adj
vertise as much and in as many papers as
they did in the best Of. times. While bus
mess creates advertising, it is equally true
that advertising creates business. 1t Gre
ates a talk and stir in business circles,
and reminds the people that they have nc
right to be leading drone's lives, even
though the times be dull; and even IN
the worst of times, advertising always
pays well, and the more of it there is,
the greater will be the business activity,
the more free will be the circulation Of
money, and the sooner will we be restor-
ed to a condition of prosperity."-PhiI

THuRsDAY MORNING, FEB. e, Issp.
Congress,

OVuBECSOs =
Oregon was on the 18th admitted into
the Union. We now number thirty-three
sovereign States. The event was cele-
brated in a becoming manner, and great
enthusiasm prevailed at the National Cap
itel. "a full marine band serenaded the
distinguished friends Of the measure, IN
GLIDING Gen. Lane, Senator Green and
Representatives Nichols, Scott, Stephens,
Letcher, Thayer, Comins, Stevenson and
Orr, nearly all of whom delivered brief
speeches, eulogizing the political event.
The President, in response to repeated
calls; appeared at the window of the
White House. He presumed, he said,
from this handsome demonstration, that
the Oregon bill had passed. He sincere
ly congratulated them upon the advent Of
another sovereign State into the glorious
~confederacy of Republics"
In the admission of Oregon, we think
the Republican party, by the various
crooks and turns to defeat or cripple, did
sufficient to balance the acts of certain
democrats last winter, on the Kansas
question. Oregon coming in as a demo
cratic State, made "quite a difference as
70 whose OK was gored."
The vote on the final passage of the
bill in the House, stood l44 to 100.
The Homestead bill has passed the
House by a vote of 100 to 76. The pro-
visions Of the bill are that any actual set
tier, who is the head of a family, over q
years of age, a citizen of the United
States, or declared his intention to become
such, is entitled to enter one quarter sec.
ton of land without paying any price
therefor. To the Hon. Mr.. Grow, o.
Pennsylvania, belongs the honor of engi
neerng this bill through the House.
What will be It's fate in the Senate, re
mains to be seen.
The success of this, or a bill similar il
its provisions, is, we may safely say, o
vital importance; is wide and far reach
ing in its consequences. 1t affects a flu
ture, the duration of which no one cal
compute, and for the present, not only tn,
Territories bat the States.
In regard to the Nebraska conteste'
case, the result has been as we predicter
last week, The report of the committee
was. made to the House in favor of Chap
man, when the whole matter wa laid up
on the table, and, of course, viii Their
slumber in quiet.
The Senate committee will undoubtedl,
report in favor Of ~annexing South Platt
TO Kansas, but no action will be taken il
all probability, owing to the want of time
1t is though. no appropriation bill vii
be passed, in (which event an extra session
VIII be indispensable.
