psA- The Fort Smith Times says the
American Board of Foreign Missions have
withdrawn their missionaries from the
Cherokee and Choctaw Territories, because
the Indians hold slaves and the Territory is
a slave Territory "The churches that
were planted by this Board, under pious
men, connected with the Board upwards of
forty years ago, arr to be abandoned be-
cause the Secretary Of the Board, Mr.. Treat,
is an Abolitionist.p "He has been at war
with the old missionaries in the Choctaw
Nation for years, on the subject of slavery !;
and these men have spent their lives in the
mission service faithfully, and at last this
new light becomes Secretary of the Board,
and these old ministers, with their church
es, are to be abandoned and thrown aside,
because of the existence of slavery in the
Nationr Hs.'D1 i'f a"H stai-- @
One would think if the "poor Indians"
were sinking into the barbarous customs
of shareholders" the missionaries should be
increased, rather than withdrawn. Where
there is the moral sin, there is the most
need topreach the Gospel. 10

Hon. RCBT. ID. OWEN on SPIRITUALIsM.-
We are informed that the work which the
Hon. Robt. Dale Owen has in press is de-
voted to the subject of spiritualism. What
his convictions are upon the subject we have
not learnt; but his talent for investigating
abStruse and metaphysical subjects, and his
ardor in searching for the cause of mental
and physiological phenomena, have led him
to very thorough consideration of the sub
ject; whatever his conclusions are, they
will be fearlessly declared. The work will
contain facts and reasoning that will expose
the modern spiritual theory as a humbug,
or lead sober men to investigate its phe-
nomena, in order to determine for them
selves if it be something new in our philoso-
ply of which they had not before dreamed.
Its publication will be looked for with some
interest in this part of the State, where the
author is so well known.

FROM CHINA.-The English, French, and
American embassies, in China, were pre-
pairing to proceed to Pekin, to take up their
residence at the Capital. The English Am
baSSador was to take fleet of small vessels
and gun-boats to overcome airy opposition
to his progress to the Capital, should it be
offered. The Chinese Commissioners as
sured him there would be none. There was
entire harmony among the representatives
of the three powers. Mr. Harris, our Minis.
ter to Japan, is now at Shanghai, but will
soon return in the Mississippi, and establish
himself at kanagowa, few miles out of
Jeddo, or in Jeddo itself Since he has been
there gold snuff box, present from the
Queen of England in recognition of his SER
vices to the English Embassy, in negotiating
the English treaty, was formally presented
to him on board the Mississippi by Mr.. Al
cock, the English Consul General for Japan.
Mr.. Harris, yielding 10 the necessities OF
American commerce, has appointed General
Dorr, OF Boston, Consul at Kanagowa, and
Mr.. Welsh Consul at Nagasaki.- ~ ''
1t is significant of the future, that n mail
steamer will soon run monthly between
Shanghai and Japan. There is a report that
the Prussian Minister had been mobbed and
murdered in Pekin, but it wants confirma-
ton. -

New YORK NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. appears
to be serious difference between the N. Y.
State Republican Committee and some OF
the leading Republican organs in the State.
The Committee insist upon making the
/" aggressions of the slave power" the all
absorbing issue in the canvass of 1867
The most sagacious and prudent OF the
newspapers in the interest of the party, are
that this Seward platform would elect Doug
las, or an Independent candidate. They
think it will be wise to wait the current
events, and form no platform for the present
at least. They say that ait is plain enough
that the battle of 1860 must be fought as
the wings fought their battle of Is4s, with
out any specific platform at all"
The State Committee make call for the
sinews of war. After detailing the meas
ures which they deem necessary TO adopt
to scure the success of the party, they add
that to give practical effect to the sugges.
tons, an adequate amount of money viii be
required" which timely admonition en-
bodies hint of the most important char
acter A Presidential can sass can no more
be successfully carried on without thu
"sinews of war" than can military cam
paign. In both the "spoils constitute, in
deed, a powerful incentive, but they are (
reward never to be reached without ade.
quate preliminary disbursements.

MExICo.-Advices have been received at
Washington, from Mexico, which give rea-
son to indulge the most fiattering hopes
that the Juarez Government would soon be
recognized by Great Britain. The sales of
church property proceeded satisfactory, and
promised so to replenish the Liberal ex-
chequer as to render loans unnecessary
Six per cent. of the purchases are received
in Government bonds, which command only
ten to twenty per cent, so buyers get prop
erty at fifty per cent. of the cash value 1t
is estimated that the sales Of this property
will wipe out nearly all the present indebt-
edness of Mexico. @

s9 Robt. Wicket, of Lexington, KY,

sS Robt. Wicket, of Lexington, KY,
whose death was announced on Thursday
by telegraph, was the largest land and slave
holder, and the richest man in the State
His age was near ninety, ana he had been
resident of the same county since his youth.
For three quarters of century the name of
Bob Wicklif has been familiar in the courts
of Kentucky. But his reputation, says the
Louisville Democrat, was not based upon
any genius that he ever displayed as an adj
vocate, or any peculiar ability as a master
of jurisprudence. He devoted his attention
chiefly to the litigation of landed estates,
and by that means became possessed of his
vast property. The early land laws of our
Commonwealth were exceedingly deficient
and the first settlers suffered immense pri-
vstions from spectators and attorneys
Hundreds of persons became wealthy by en-
gaging in the not creditable business of dis
possessing the pioneers of the homesteads
they had won from the savage and the will
derness, through the merest legal bubbles.
He was once member of the State Sem
ate, but was never distinguished in the poll
tics of the State, except for his, bitter hos
tility to Mr.. Clay. The heirs of his large
estate are the wife of Hon VIM. Preston,
Minister to Spain, the wife of COL John
Preston, of Louisville, and the children Of
the late Col. A. X. Morley, of Lexington
Robert Wiekliffe, Jr., died some years since.
While United States Charge to Sardinia, he
married an Italian lady, who has since re-
turned to her native land, with a fortune
given her by her father-in-law. 4 aasaav

nation of Matthew l.. Brett of Davis coun-
ty for State Treasurer, on the ground that
the Pocket has long deferred claims to a
share in the emoluments and honors of the
State offices. If we are to have Pocket cam
didate, let as have one well down in it, and
not one upon the edge, that We may lose
unless it be kept closely buttoned. Why
not take Turner Nelson of Posey for State
Treasurer or VIM. H. Walker of Wander
burg for State Auditor;-or Judge Law for
Governor. These gentlemen would run
well with the Democracy in the Pocket, and
all have peculiar claims upon the party
throughout the State for the powerful inhu-
ence they have exerted in maintaining its
ascendancy in this region for the last ten
years.

re-. Hon. S. III. Buskirk and Col. G.. F.
Cookery, Directors, and Col. Miller, Warden
of the Jacksonville Penitentiary, left lndi-
annapolis on Thursday, to attend the Conven-
ton of Prison Managers which convenes this
week at Philadelphia. Hon. John w. Blake,

Board of Control of the Penitentiary North,

TIE JUDAH CAsE.-The long pending case I

The JUDAH CAsE.-The long pending case
of the Vincennes University against Samuel
Judah was determined in The Sullivan Cir
cult Court on Thursday bya verdict against
the defendant. Mr.. Judah, it appears, re-
tanned $4,000 of the funds of the Univer-
sity, in the compromise with the State for
the township of land in Gibson county
The trustees claimed special contract for
his services, amounting to about half that
sum-hence the suit against Judah to recov-
er back the surplus. The jury brought in
a verdict against Judah for S9,525 10, al
lowing him the balance of the S25, 600 for
services, costs by him expended, &c. In the
special findings of the jury they say that
buying up members of the Legislature was
fraud, and allowed Judah nothing for the
services of those men whom he purchased.

n@- The Memphis AVdlanche says it is an
offense against the laws of that city for the
proprietor Of drinking saloon or house of
entertainment to SELL or even give away,
liquor to any person on the Sabbath. The
keeper of a saloon was, on the 18th inst,
fined ten dollars by the Recorder for giving
liquor to some of his friends on the previous
Sabbath. We recently spent Sabbath in
Memphis with thirsty friend, who peram-
bulated the city in vain in search of place
where he could obtain glass of liquor, for
love or money. His last resource was to
a physician, who charged him 50 for pre-
scription addressed to druggist for TWO
ounce vial of brandy, to be taken in doses
of a spoonful, every three minutes, till the
symptoms abated. s'-r- .s.-,,.r

ANOTHER FooL.-The Bedford Indepen-
dent says that Ebenezer S. Thompson, late
Sheriff of Lawrence county, shot himself
while cunning few days since. When he
got into the woods, short distance from
his house, he placed cap on the gun and
snapped it to ascertain whether the gun
was loaded. 1t did not go off, and notwith-
standing the newspapers all over the coun-
try are constantly full Of accidents and warn
ings, he placed his foot upon the hammer
and blew into the muzzle, when the con-
tents of the gun were discharged into the
upper part of his mouth and mangling it in
horrid manner. He is yet alive, but there
is a bare possibility of his recovery.

DSE Judge John Watson was recently ar
rested at Keytesvi!le, Charlton county, Mis-
souri,, on the charge of having been one of
the party who broke open the county safe
about year and q half ago, and robbed it
of some $4,000. The grand jury of that
county indicted him for grand larceny and
burglary, and he was required to give bail
to the amount of $4,000. This case attracts
a great deal Of attention, partly from the
fact that the accused is man of consider
able wealth, AID at the time the crime was
committed was one of the Judges of the
county Court.
