AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY The friends of this
noble institution ot christian bcnevoence will be
rratiied to learn that its success has never Teen
greater than during the past year.

District Of Columbia, Virginia, and North Carroll
ma. it has about 100 culporteurs Mt work.
The past six months they sold IS ,5S7 volumes :;
and gave to the poor ard destitute IL $50 volumes.
ings for religious purp 'ses were held.
Three thousand ono hundred aud eighty fam-
lies were found destitute of all religious books cx
cept the Bible 2.G0l had no Bible; 6,lO4 were
reported as neglecting evangelical worship. The
whole number If families visited by the colpor-
tours was "A, 453. The eolporteur work appeals
both to the christian and philanthropist. Where
the most ignorance is found there is the greatest
poverty. Within the last six months many an en-
tire family has been visited who could not read ;
and in their neghNorhood others have been found
who are willing. if encouraged. To lend their as
sistance in teaching these poor people. BY the
efforts of the colporteur and the gift of small H.
brary the Sabbath School can be formed, and old
and young lie taught to read. and in briet space
Of time the whole moral aspect be changed and
elevated Such has been the history Of colportaGe
in this and other States. What it has done in the

We were aware that Mr.. Hubs name had lccn
mentioned in connection with the candidacy for

the onerous duties which devove on him, III the
special representation of several most important

self to be nominated for post which, to II great
extent, cuts of representative from the fpecia
business of his immediate constituents. II hap

are seriously determined to present his claims to
the Speakership. and we learn that there is SIN

Consequence Of Excessive Importations.

" loss, and in unbalancing our finances and

WASHINGTON, Oct. There is but little
additional intelligence to-day relative to the
tilibusters An official dispatch from New
Orleans states that the tnw-boat Panther has
been seized, together with the captain and

the party who went down the river as far as
the South Pass in that vessel. The opin-
ion is expressed, in the same telegram, that

issued. over 81, 900: amount subject to
draft, S4,975.C2i The reduction from the
amount on hand the previous week, is nearly
SIS, 900, owing to the redemption of Trea-
sury notes. The department has no reason,
as yet, TO change the opinion expressed in the
Sccretary's last report as to the probable re-
ceipts Of the present fiscal year.
Private advces received here from Arizo-
ma dated Sept. Goth, state that large and en-
thusiastic meetings have been held on the
Rio Grande and Tucson, declaring that the
gentlemen who received a very small mnori-
ty Of tie votes Of the people of Arizona, for
the Legislature of New Mexico, do not rep

The Santa Fe Mail Attacked by Indians

THE CONDUCTOR AND HIS BROTHER Muir.
DERED.-Advices have been received at the
Post Office Department from independence,
mo. stating that the Santa Fe mail which
left Independence on the 10Th ult. had been
attacked by q party of Kiowa Indians on the
oath. and that the conductor, NJ. Smith, and
his brother, hud been murdered. The dis,
astrous intelligence was conveyed to the mail
contractor at Independence by a passenger
named Cole, who, though badly wounded,
had managed to make his escape.
Fears were also entertained that the in,
coming mail due at Independence on the
4th inst. and which had not been heard OF
on the 9th, had been also intercepted by the
Indians. 1t is believed that Mr.. Otero, del
egate to Congress from New Mexico, and
his wife, Judge Watson, and his wife and
son. and Judge Porter were passengers by
that mail.
The anxiety and Indignation which the
news of this outrage will occasion will be
somewhat alayed by the further intelligence
that Colonel Sumner, commanding the De
partment of the West, as soon as he heard OF
the fatal occurrence, despatched q company
of Dragons to Pawnee Fort to protect the
mail, and punish the offending Indians
Hopes are entertained that this prompt and
energetic action on the part of Colonel Sum
ner will result in the capture of the MUIR
derers Of Smith and his brother, and the res
cue Of the passengers by the overdue mail.
Il is probable that it will be found necessary
to station party of troops at Pawnee Fork
to escort the mail thence to Cold Spring, and
thus obviate the recurrence Of such calaul-
ty as that which it is our painful duty to
announce. Washington Constellation.
