POLITICAL RUMoR.--The New York Herald
says some three weeks since, S. A. Douglas
spent almost an entire night at the house Of
Mr. Forney. in Philadelphia, discussing the
course TO be taken as to the Charleston Con-
venllon, Mr. Douglas arguing in favor of going
into that Convention and submitting TO its &C,
ton, whilst Mr.. Forney declared that he would
have nothing to do with it, and would fight any
one nominated by that Convention, even Doug
las himself Mr.. Douglas asked him what he
would advise him to do do, to which Mr.. For
ney said, If he was in his (Dougla's) place he
would go to Chicago aud announce himself as
q candidate for the Presidency, and pay no at
tention whatever TO the Convention; and let
Convention meet and nominate Vice Presi-
dent to run with him, and trust to the result.
Douglass opinion all The way through was, that
II was his best course TO go into the Charleston
Convention and abide its results. Forney de-
cared that he was going to fight the Republi-

sidering both Of them the essence Of corruption,

Store on Second street between B and G, has in
his possession a rattlesnake, which has not eat
en- anything for seven and half months. He
was captured out at Middle Ferry In this
county, by a person who plunged fork

and placed him in q small wire cage where he
has remained ever since. Pigeons, lizards,
mice, &C., have been Frequently put in the cage
with him, but without being noticed. The
wound on his body is nearly healed and he ex-
hibits as much vitality now as when first cap
tured The most remarkable thing about it is
that on the 18th, ia the short space of half an
hour he shed his entire skin. We have always
supposed that much longer time was consumed
in that operation. The Doctor says he observ-
ed him rubbing himself against the side of the
cage. and pretty soon discovered the skin sepa-
rate on the forehead. and gradually slip back

was entirely clear of it. lie had been entirely

~ Republican, says:
Private enterprise is properly doing what the
Government should have done long ago-aided
In opening rail road communication to the
Pacific. The completion of the Hannibal and
ST. Joseph Railroad is one of the most import
ant features Of the season, as il will connect the
two great vers-brnging New York within
sixty hours of Elwood, Kansas This road has
been pushed with great energy during the past
year. which again illustrates the ndomtable
perseverance of Western enterprise. Every
mile of rail laid towards the Kansas frontier,
makes the great Pacific Railway more possible,
The opening of this road will afford the most
direct and expeditions route for those going to
Kansas, Nebraska, Utah. California, aud tho
gold regions. Elwood, Kansas being directly
opposite ST. Joseph, Missouri will reap the
benefit Of the first railroad that approaches the
border. Instead of passengers being eight
days in going to Northern Kansas Via ST. Louis
aud the Missou river, they can accomplish the
same via the st. Joseph and Hannibal Railroad
in sixty hours. From Toledo or Chicago to st,
Joseph aud ElwoOd, is almost directly west,
while from either Toledo or Chicago, via ST,
Louis, Is to make two bends-the one to reach
st Louis and the other TO get up the river
The distance from Elwood to Cherry Creek is
six hundred miles, and from Elwood to Great
Salt Lake City, eight hundred miles. The road
is very good one since II Is the road that Cal,
ifOrnia emigrants have PASSED over for the past
ten years. 1t runs on the military road to Fort

the WAR IN CmLE.--A correspondent OF the
Alta, writing from Panama, says:
From Chile we have dates to the first Of May.
The most important news is that the govern
ment forces, on the 25th of April, attacked the
revolutionists near Copiapo, under command
of Gallo, and after five hours hard fighting,
the latter. were completely routed The loss is
estimated at 1000 killed, aud some 300 pris

upon as the close Of the war. Peace is conh-

TULARE VALLEY.-A correspondent Of the
Stockton Argus, writing from Visalia, Tuare
county, says:
confess to an agreeable surprise, as I en-
tered this valley and witnessed the excellent
grazing land that stretches out upon either
hand, apparently extending an invitation to
the stock raisers OF the world, to herd their
cattle where nature never fails to supply them
the means of an abundance of food. The grass.
however, is said to be much better the present
year, than has been the case for number OF
ears past. The crops surpass anything have
ever seen in the growth and yield. There are
entire fields here which will yield seventy-Gve
bushels to the acre.

A SENSATION PARAoRIPH-The Washington
correspondent Of the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer,
says:
1t is believed by army officers and Others that
President Buchanan is quietly concentrating
nearly the whole army along the Texas and
Arizona frontiers Of Mexico, and that large
feet of war vessels is about to be gathered in
the Gulf 1t is the prevalent impression that
the President is about to take the most decisive
measures for sustaining the Juarez admlnlstra-
tion, and his movements are considered pre-
liminary to a war of conquest and annexation.

PRoscRRTIoN.-W While the journals of the Ad-
ministration are printing long homiles in favor
of harmony in the Democratic party, its Off
cials are illustrating the meaning of these ar
ticles by removing men from Office whenever it
is discovered that their sentiments on all ques-
tious of party policy do not exactly accord with
those OF the Administration. There never was
a despOtism more exacting 10 It's requirements
than that now enthroned in Washington, and
