SALE OF LOTS AT MoREHEAD.-We invite atten-
ton to the advertised Annual Sale of Lots at More
head City, -E
The growing Importance of this Harbor, the
gradual, but steady growth Of Morehead, and the
absolute certainty that the future business of the
place will vastly increase, offer inducements to pur-
cllascrs rarely met. The previous sales have been
large and prices good. Purchasers have looked
forward to the advance of property, and many bought
with an eye to speculation and without any design
to improve. Those who would have built were de-
tered by the high prices at which lots sold and
fear that business would not justify investment
Such parties tEeir way more clearly
spirit of Improvement since the last sales has been
manilested-new and substantial buildings have been
erccted-regular lines of packets have been cstab-
lshed with New York and with Baltimorc-the
nucleus of a thriving and growing population is
seen,-and every thing betokcns healthy, if not
rapid expansion These things being so, the friends
of Morehead may confidently anticipate that the
sales in November will be greater and prices better
than have been realized at either of those previously
Eeld-large though they were at the time consider

CONFLICT BETWEEN Outlaws AND a VIGILANCE
GoxhrrrEE-~A friend, who has just arrived from
Lafayette parish informs us that Saturday morn
ing last the Vigilance Committee of that parish
were summoned to assemble and proceed TO place
called Bayou Tortue, about fifteen miles west of
Vermillionvie, where an encampment Of outlaws
had been formed and ringleaders of which had
challenged them to battle. Accordingly, the law
and order men of the parish, who had long suffered
from these depredators, who had robbed, plandercd,
passed counterfeit money, and murdered with impu-
nifty, quickly gathered and taking piece of artill
cry with them from the village of Vermillionvlle,
start for the rendezvous Of the outlaws. At 9 A.
NJ. on Saturday about five hundred well equipped
mounted men suddenly appeared before the en-
trenched camp of the boastful defers Of the laws,
where they found them in fun force with the Bayoa
we'll guarded and house in the centre of their po-
sition, loop holed, and otherwise thoroughly pre-
pared for enduring siege or resisting storming
party The flag of their fraternity also 1oatsd deli
antly in the breeze, and until the Vigilants had
formed their order of battle, and unmasked their
cannon all looked as if the defense would be obsti-
nate and sanguinary. -.
The sight of the big gun however, struck terror
into the hardened hearts Of these outlaws and saure
gui eut suddenly appeared to animate the warriors.
Their number was about one hundred and fifty.
many of whom having horses, managed to make
their escape but seventy Of their force fell into the
hands of the vigilants Immediately . court mar
tial was formed, consisting Of two Vigilants from
each company, to whom the question was submitted
whether the prisoners, notorious evidoers, should
suffer death or be padded BY majority of two,
it was decided to infict the paddle punishment and
thirty-six hundred blows equally administered
One fellow committed suside, BY shooting himself
to avoid the paddle. -. ...r
Subsequently, five Others of the gang We're found
dead from gun shot wounds 80 ..r
Our informant says that the news Of this affair
caused the greatest pleasure among all the honest
and decent inhabitants of the parish where occur
red and the adjacent Attakapas parishes, which
have long suffered from the depredations Of the
powerful and dangerous gang.-N o. True Delta.

A CoNGREss or EUROPEAN PowERs.@The

A CONGRESS OF EUROPEAN PowERs.-The
Conference at Zurich, having failed to eli
inmate any substantial basis of peace from
the hastily concocted terms agreed on by
the two Emperors at Villafranca the whole
Italian question, it is now evident, must be
transferred TO an enlarged and less exclu-
sively interested body, comprising all the
leading powers of Europe. The parties to
this general Congress will of course be
France, Austria, Great Britain, Russia,
Prussia and Sardinia. To the decision OF
the States, the affairs of Italy are either to
he implicitly submitted, or else renewal of
the war becomes inevitable. The French
and Austrian Emperors having exhausted
whatever vitality there was in the Villa
franco compact, are now living only on
their previously arranged armistice, which
has been indefinitely prolonged by mutual
understanding. The leading powers, appa-
rently so contemptuously disregarded at
first, are thus found to be the inevitable
arbiters in this quarrel, after all.

How MANY AND WHAT THEY COSTA
French statistician has been working out
the problem of the offences of Europe. He
finds that the land and naval forces of the
European armies number $500, 900 sound
picked men in the prime of their productive
strength. The annual outlay required to
keep up their armies and the material OF
war is over $500, 10000 not including the
values of land or buildings occupied by for
tifcations, arsenals, hospitals, foundries,
schools, &C., &c, moderately estimated at
So, 800, 900, on which, at four per cent.
interest, the yearly expense is more than
$3.50, 0O0, 900. To this add the value of
labor which these men would productivity
perform, which amounts TO more than $3.50,
100000, and we have the annual war ex-
pense paid 10y European producers of nearly
SS00,O00.

ILLEGAL FRANKING.-The Douglas wing
of the Democracy are exposing, with telling
effect, the illegal procedure of the United
States Attorney General, in ranking for all
parts of the country, his so-called "Black
Pamphlet" in reply TO the Harpers copy
righted document on Squatter Sovereignty.
Their chief grievance it may not be too I'M
charitable TO assume, is the weight of Judge
Blacks arguments, but they have clearly
made out n case against him for violating
the Post Office laws $50 rigidly enforced in
sending out Republican documents,) and
thus using the public funds for partisan
object, instead of legitimately employing
them in restoring discontinued or. curtailed
(yet necessary mail service in this State
and elsewhere. slFg-| rE.I
This whole system of carting tons of
electioneering documents, at the public
expense, is bad one, and calls loudly
for immediate remedy, before another Presi-
dental campaign. Such documents are not
only a heavy tax on our Post Office Depart
ment, in the way of transportation, but are
of themselves, for the most part, great
bore to the people. Common and capacious
as newspapers now are, this old practice
ought to be wisely discontinued.

A DENIAL DEsIED.-Some weeks ago, we
mentioned the fact that a resolution was in
troduced into the Democratic Convention of
Perry county, disappearing the call of a
Constitutional Convention. The resolution
we said was, in consequence of the opposition
it encountered, withdrawn. Our statement
Of the proceedings was denied by the same
ready witness in the New Albany Ledger,
who has been SO officious in denying the
charges against Shoemaker. The denial
was copied into the State Sentinel The fol-
lowing certificate has bt en- sent TO us by
three sound Democrats who were members
of the Convention, that confirms the words
of our statement literally. ----g.-
CANYELroN, Ind, Sept. 80, 1859.

cratic County Convention, that nominated
the county officers Of Perry county for the
approaching election in October, and we
certify that resolution was introduced by
Col. Guest, of Cannelton, read by John
C. Shoemaker, rs Secretary, disappearing
the call for Constitutional Convention, for
amending the State Constitution, which res
olu,ion vas discussed by Hon. Job Hatfield,
J. J. Key, and Bauley Gibbons, and was
fnslly withdrawn, or laid on the table
The gssrsl sentiment Of the meeting seem
ed to he, that il sbo0ld be left an open ques-
ton for Democrats TO vote hecording to their
own convictions. The speeches Of Messrs.
Hatfield and Key were in opposition to the
resolution. SAINT. PLATT.

How CAN SEWARD BE ELECTED IA wri-

of Mr. Stewards chances tor election to the
Presidency: ,...zsul ,Esssr.-.-
Suppose Mr.. Seward nominated, how is
he going to be elected? What assurance
have we that the 37,444 " Americans" in
Illinois, who voted for Fillmore in 1856,
will support the man whom, of all the ere
publicans," they hate the mostP Is there
any guarantee for the 50, 202 Fillmore votes
in Pennsylvania every one of which will be
needed to carry the Key Stone State? Who
believes that the 22,3S6 Fillmore Wings in
Indiana, or the 23,ll5 friends of Fillmore
in New Jersey will conquer their prejudices
march up to the polls, and deposit their bal
lots for VIM. II. Seward? Now, without
the votes of these men, Seward could no
more carry either OF these four States than
he can escape death. And how are the Re-
publicans 10 elect President unless they
receive their electoral votes.
