Important Rumor-The Govern
ment Determined to Seize
Northern Mexico.

St. Louis, Nov. ia special dis
match from Washington to the Rep't6ti-
can saws that Government this morning
determined to seize the Northern States
of Mexico, and that orders were issued
for six companies of heavy artillery from
Fortress Monroe, and two of light ar
tillery and three of infantry from Fort
Leavenworth, to proceed Immediately to
Brownsville.
The Republican learns that Col. Sum-
ner, commander of this department, teie-
graphed to Leavenworth, this evening
for the prompt movement of the troops,
in compliance with the order, and in a
week, if necessary, these troops will be
in New Orleans. The Republican init
mates that security for the future will be
wanted in better boundary than that
established BY the Rio Grande.
Norfolk, Nov. Height companies
of Federal troops, under Col. Brown,
have been ordered to leave Old Point
| Comfort for Brownsville.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Nothing can
yet be positively ascertained concerning
the precise object of sending large bodies
of troops to the Rio Grande, further than
the protection of that frontier from the
attacks of the forces of Cortinas, to utterly
destroy which is the purpose of the AID
ministration. As it was but recently
supposed in official quarters that the two
companies from Fort Clarke and the one
from Baton Rouge would be sufficient tt
check the movements of that brigand, thu
augmentation of the troops just ordered
has naturally excited suspicious of othe.
!, contemplated measures. Various specu
lations are INDUCED in, but the mos
plausible theory. founded on certain reve
7 lations deemed to be reliable, is tina
: Spain, France and England medi
tate prompt action for the satisfac
ton of claims in which their subjects ar
interested, and which may involve th
q national existence of Mexico, or the sub
/ stitution of monarchy under the pre-
lection of those Powers.
n In view of these circumstances an
L probabilities, the United States may fet
$ constrained to occupy the northern pa
st Of Mexico to secure the satisfaction of til
le claims Of our own citizens against th:
ie country, as well as for the security
Americans on the frontier. From a
that can be ascertained, it is fair to pr
sumo that some of the vessels of Il
Home Squadron viii soon proceed

. Indeed this seems to be certain, so int

ORGANIZATION OF A PROVISIONAL
COVER MENT-FRTEEN MINERS
DRowEED.-Leavenworth, Nov. I8.-
The express from Denver City, 10th inst,
has arrived with $4,000 in treasure.
The Provisional Government had gone
into operation by the organization of both
branches of the Legislature. Mr.. Steele,
the Governor elect, had delivered mes
sage, in which he argues the necessity Of
the present form of government until
Congress shall take action in reference
to the Territory. The miners continued
to work in several localities, and many
were preparing to winter at the diggings
A. D. Richardson, of the Boston
Journal, has just arrived from New
Mexico and the Pixies Peak region
He reports great excitement Throughout
New Mexico on account of recent Indiar
outrages.
Fifteen returning Pixies Peak emf
grants, coming down the Platte river il
boats have been drowned within a shor
period.

Tract Society, &c.

Those who have heretofore taken
the American Messenger" "and Child's
Paper know that they are in the gen.
eral excellent little papers, but most at
the North have felt, that with all their
excellencies, they were defective. Touch
ing the great sin " Slavery both these
publications have ever been, and are
likely 70 remain, silent; the Tract So
ciety at New York, having resolved not
to speak a word for the oppressed, in
any way whatever. On this account,
mainly, has the American Tract SOcie-
ty at Boston withdrawn itself from the
Society at New York, and commenced
publishing by itself tracts, and an ex-
cellent little paper called The Tract
Journal" 1t is every was as good a
paper as the Messenger" and in one
respect very much better, for It will
speak. and speak Alright on slavery
But the Boston Society had intended
still to supply Juvenile readers with the

ing it Of the New York Society. But

Old Brown.
Nov. Is, 1859.

John Brown is sane, reasonable, con- |
servative, compared with certain men in
high places in Washington. He confesses
his offences plainly and deliberately-de-
clares that the work was his own-and
just as deliberately tells the court and
the commonwealth of Virginia that he is
ready to receive his punishment. Aye,
as to the very death upon the gallows, he
calmly says-'LEr IT BE DoSEP
Now just listen to the rawlings of the
organ of the Administration at Wash
ington. The following is the language
of the Washington Constitution in res
/ pect to Senator Seward:
He sees in the near prospective the
current rise; he beholds all the acts of
the dreadful drama; he sees the conspir-
ators rushing upon their victims; he
/ witnesses the insurgent African banner
superseding the flag of his country; be
stands among the fragments of the con-
stitution which he had sworn TO support
he beholds the insurgent negro cohorts
rushing as in San Domingo upon their
prey; he hears the sbrieks of the vic
tins; he sees the fathers, sons ant
brothers of Virginia and Maryland butch
cred without arms or warning, in thr
j midnight hour; he hears the cries 0
: agony from those Of the gentler ser
/ doomed to a still more dreadful fate; tn
, hands OF the assassin are dripping wit
: human gore; peaceful village, wher
all, in unsuspecting confidence, retired q
: night to their repose, is given TO tn
d flames, and all its male inhabitants ar
: consumed amid its ashes. 1t is no in
: aginary dagger that he sees before him
n it is no phantom of the hest-oppresse
J, brain :; it is no reverie or dream of stun
d Der; but dread reality, but too distinct
i, portrayed before him, and he is silent ar
" conceals the fact. He mingles every ds
y with many of the intended victims;
If sees their doom approaching, and
=: raises no voice Of warning, and no har
s. of succorr
ge Now the fact is, that for some mont
ss past Senator Seward has been in EuroE
and at the time of the capture of Hs
n per's Ferry, be was at least five thousal
be miles away, on the banks of the Nile
\. We are very sure that Mr.. Seward cOu

as even though he had sought it at the We

! OuR COUNTY FAlR.-The Davenport Ne,os,
while showing the illiberality of the premiums
offered by the Scott County Agricultural Society,
pays high compliment to the Directors Of the
Muscatine Society. 1t says:
Muscatine with commendable spirit of wisdom
! and shrewd policy, in rule 9Th of their Society,
saws, "The list OF premiums for horses and cattle
is open for competition to all the scOrId" There is
reason in this. If the object be to improve the
stock of the county, what better method than to
induce the owners Of blooded stock to come to the
fairs, that the people Of the county may purchase
such stock, or send to its owners for its use in
| breeding?
