EBThe Indianapolis AtLas thinks an OPP
position State Convention should be held as
early as the 22d of February next, for the
purpose of selecting candidates to fill the
various State offices. 1t urges upon the
opponents of the present Federal Admins
tration in the 'Pocket" to be present at
that Convention, and present their best men
for positions on the ticket, and their wishes
will not be disregarded. We quote from the
atlas:
Let the people hear the truth in regard to
the extravaganza and corruption of those
who now control our national affairs, and
they will not permit power to remain in
their hands.
Let such men as L. Q. DeBruler, James
G. Veatch, James Jones, james z. Blythe,
Col. Allen, and others we could name, take
hold of this matter in earnest, and the good
work will soon be accomplished.
Indiana can be carried by an united Oppo-
sition. hard work, and a thorough organiza-
ton. Let it be done.

Bay By the last overland mail we have
an account of the reception of Gen. Scott at
San Francisco. The demonstration was
highly creditable to the citizens of the Gold
en- City, and fiattering to the veteran war
rior A vast crowd greeted him, as he land
ed, with tremendous cheers he was placed
in splendid barouche, drawn by four white
horses, and which contained Gov. Weller
and Gen. Clarke, in addition to himself; a
military procession was formed, whilst all
along the line of march the windows and
housetops were thronged with vast assem-
blage, eager to get a glimpse or the greatest
military chieftain of the age. Gen. Scott
was much affected by the display, and re-
moved his lat every moment, bowling to the
right and left, as shouts went up to dc him
honor. On each side of the vehicle two po-
licemen walked, to keep the people from
being crushed beneath the wheels of the car
riage. The ovation was one which General
Scott may well be proud Of.

FROM Pixies PEAK.-An " affair of hon
Or" occurred at Denver city, on the 10th
ultimo, between VIM. p Mcclure, member
of the bar of that city, and Mr. Whitsett,
of St. Louis. The weapons selected were
Colts revolvers, and the distance ten PAGES.
Before the duel actually occurred and while
the parties were on the ground, the Sheriff
of the county made his appearance, and at
tempted to arrest the principals, but receiv-
ing no assistance from the crowd in attend
anee, he gave up the project. On tle first
fire, Mr.. Mcclure was severely, though not
dangerously wounded The quarrel origin
atcd in dispute about real estate, and was
of such character as could only be settled
by blood.
Two darkies in the same city also had AN
I" affair of honor" without going through
the usual preliminaries OF sending a chal-
lenge. Finding that blows were a tedious
way to settle the difficulty, they used fire
arms--one a gun, and the other a revolver
One of the parties was shot in the breast
and instantly killed.

pg. The Opposition party in Louisiana
fully held their own in the recent State
election. The Democracy, instead of elect
ing all four of the congressman, only saved
two. The Americans have one member, Mr..
anti-Administration) Democrats, the other,
Miles Taylor, who has before served in
Congress, The Democratic State ticket is
of course elected, but the political charac-
ter of the Legislature is not yet known.
The Opposition are ahead, SO far as heard
from.

The Schiller Festival.

1t was the intention of the committee of
arrangements, at the Schiller Festival, to so
distribute the tickets as to insure the attend
ance of large and appreciative audience,
and one that the Hall would accommodate
with comfort. The doors were to be opened
alta certain time; seats had been reserved for
the ladies, and the City Fathers and other
corporate bodies, and everything SO arrang-
ed as to render the occasion one of unmixed
pleasure. These arrangements, however,
were frustrated in an unlocked for man.
ner. Unknown to the committee, the side
before they were aware of it, some two
hundred had gained admittance to the room.
BY the time the front door was opened,
vast, surging crowd had gathered in the
ing of the door. Our gallant city Marshal,
Messrs Lemcke, Schmnck, and others, man.
fully withstood the pressure for consider
able length of time, in order to pass the
ladies in, but at length they gave way, and
the crowd, like one vast wave, broke into
the Hall Vast numbers went away with
out even gaining admission to the ante
room, so numerous was the attendance.
As good order was kept as was possible,
in q crowd go uncomfortably situated, and
he exercises appeared to give general sat
isfaetion. The committee of arrangements
at Philadelphia, had made an agreement
with Ferdinand Freiligrath,-a German
poet-one of the Revolntionists of '48, and
now an exile in London,-to write poem
for the occasion, and it was generally I'M
derstood that the same poem should be de-
livered at each festival, throughout the
United States at the same hour. The pa
per containing the poem arrived in our city
too late for Mr.. Kehr-the person selected
to declaim ito commit it to memory but
he read it in style that won the encomi-
ums of his hearers. The poem itself fully
sustains the great reputation of its author.
Mr.. To1nhemelt, editor of the VoEks5ote,
was the orator, and acquitted himself with
great eclat. His Grafton was quite lengthy,
and the uneasiness of the crowd induced
him to stop speaking before he was entirely
through; but we understand it is the inten-
ton to have it published if sufficient
means can be collected for that purpose.
Mr.. Bischop read various extracts from
Schillers poems, which were very enter
tanning to the admirers of that poet; but he
too, desisted before he went through with
all the pieces it was originally designed he
should read, on account of the restlessness
of the over-heated, over-cfowded crowd.
The browning of the bust of Schiller was
one Of the principal attractions of the even
ing, and it was done in manner that
gained the plaudts of the assemblage. The
music interpersed through the speeches and
recitations was good, and assisted wonder
fully in keeping up the spirits of the audi
ence.
The Festival was n decided success The
name of Schiller was re-burnished, and
glows with new light in every German hesrt.
No one expressed any dissatisfaction with
the proceedings, and all regard them az
one of the most pleasant episodes of their
lives

BE- The Indianapolis Sentinel says the
State house yard, at night, is the resort of
vile characters, who carry on their shame

after night the fence is torn down in places,
and the cattle let in to mutilate and destroy
the young trees If that city has become
incapable of protecting the State property

enough 10 have said property moved to safer

The DanviIIe Connection.

Our cotemporary of the Wilmington IN. c.
Journal admits that, one way or another, there
is a Granville Connection with the Central
IN. ca Railroad, authorized by law In view
OF the fact, he says:
I'VE do not really know, however, that it
makes much difference. Unless we make use
of the Railroad facilities we already have. we
need care very little about others. Unless we
start steamship lines, &c. we cannot hold what
we have without grasping for more. If we
are true to ourselves, we can bid defiance to
any DanyilIe connection"
Exactly. That is the way to talk Why be
afraid OF Virginias Is she not united with
North Carolina in sympathy and interest }
Are not their fates, politically, bound to be the
same Why, then, should North Carolina
commercially desire to build Chinese wall
between herself and the Old Dominion7 How
much better it would have been to have grace

ergy and enterprise of her people to compete
fairly for the commerce of the country! She
forced her own western citizens to accom- plish
by indirection what ought certainly to have
been generously conceded TO them as right
But now that is done, why, let us go along in
our projects in a od-humored and liberal
spirit. The Central IN. o. Railroad will
flourish all the more for the connect ion via
Danville, aud there will be trade enough tor
