THE cid Raleigh tavern at Williams
burg, Va, was destroyed by fire short
time since. The old Raleigh was fa-
nous as the place where Patrick Henry
stopped when he made his debut in The
house Of BurgeSses, and it was in his
chamber in his old tavern that he con-
eocted his speeches. 1t was under the
roof of this old tavern that the great
and patriotic Of Ergina's sons met in
committee to deliberate in the darkest
hour OF the nation's history, and it was
from this house that those resolves
emahated which made Virginia fore
most in opposition to the arbitrary
movements of Great Britain.

Later from CHINA.

BY the arrival of the ship Mary L. Sutton,
forty days from Hong Kong, We have received
papers from that city to April %.
CONDITION or ATrAixs.-The reports from
Shanghai are important. The Chinese state
that tho Russians have established their Ls-
CATION at Pekin, and their Minister had been
attended by large retinue. A difficulty had
| already occurred from the Russian Embsssa-
dor refusing to communicate officially with
| any one but the Emperor himself.
A rumor that Canton was to be evacuated
by the allies caused great fear. Tho rebels
had been successful, and would probably
siege the city if left unprotected. The rebels
hold the passes of the tea district. They
have intercepted tqe small remaining quanti-
ty of abe seasons tea, which was on it's way
down, and were interfering with the cultiva-
ton in some districts.
There have been lately many and gross in
stances of kidnapping Chinese, in order to
send them rs Coolies to Havana. Both at
Canton and Whampoa, men detected in these
outrages have been seized by the people and
crucifed.
A high officer has been recently decapitated

surreptitiously exchanged essays, giving his

of one Of no merit, for which be received the
silver, but lost his head.
At Pekin there is intense anxiety as to
whether the foreign ambassadors will be al
lowed to see the Emperor's face; will they
bring tribute? will the barbarians be allowed
to enter the city?
FROM JAPAN.
We find in the North China Herald the an.
pended news from Japan:
There appears to be considerable doubt IL
the proposed embassy to the United States
will take place. The conservative party.
who are opposed to ell Innovations, are de-
termined to prevent this infrsction Of the
law which prohibits Japanese from leaving
their country. The two delegates who have
been named for Washington are thems elves
anxious to 60, but their departure will GER
tainly be delayed, for the present, at least
A council for foreign affairs has been estab-
lished at Jeddo, consisting Of five princes
The ambassadors for Great Britain are not
yet nominated.

The Excealency orslayery.

The Democratic papers sbound in Incl
dents and examples to show the preference
manifested by the negroes of the South for
slavery over freedom. And they frequently
indulge in laments that some poor negro or
yellow girl has escaped from the kind care
and affectionate embraces Of their owners in
the South to the scanty comforts of person
al freedom in the North. Had those editors
lived in the days of our Revolutionary FORE
fathers they would have denounced them and
cursed their folly for risking their lives and
fortunes to achieve independence when they
might have contrived to live in comfort and
splendor under the fostering care and pro-
lection of the royal government Of Great
Britain. These Locofoco editors regard
Slavery on full belly as much to be pre-.
ferred before liberty and the risk of an
empty stomach.

The Leavenworth Jail is filled to overflow
ing with "good, tried, staunch and valiant
Democrats" who have been arrested and
indicted for fraudulent voting at the recent
election. More than fifty of the boys are in
the jug for obeying the party injunction,
viz: "yoting early and often, and keeping
on voting until the polls are closed" The
legal investigation now going on is dis
closing an old fashioned Kickapoo or Ok
ford swindle. These fifty elegant Demo-
Gratis are but preface OF what is to come.
The Republicans arc confident that the appa-
rent Democratic majority will be more than
sponged cut, ere the frauds committed ia
Leayenworth are probed to the bottom.

spoke in German, and was followed by Mr..
Brownlee, of Marion Township. These
proceedings were interspersed with music,
both vocal and instrumental. After which
the audience proceeded to discuss free din

homes, we'll satisfied that this is great
country.

Arrival of the Adelaide.
Another Great Battle Fought

ST.. JOINS, July 5.
| The Adelaide has arrived, bringing Lon
| don and Liverpool dates to the 25th ult.
| The Empress Of France had received q
telegram from Napoleon on the oath an.
nounoing that a terrible battle had been
fought, and the Allies had gained q grea,
victory. The entire Austrian army had
formed in line Of battle extending distance
of FIVE leagues. The French captured q
number Of flags, pieces Of cannon and pris.
oners.
A dispatch from Vienna says battle was
progressing, but gives no particulars.
The previous accounts have stated the
Austrian force on the Mincio to be $50 900 ;
that the entire French force had passed Mon
te Chiare, and that Reconnaissance was said to
have been pushed as far as Guto, and that
the Piedmontese had advanced toward Pes
chiera, the northwest fertilization of the
historic square.
Napoleon had demanded permission for
the passage of thirty thousand troops throug h
Hanover to the Rhine. 1t was believed that
the basis for the proposed mediation of Prus-
sia would thereby be involved in the war
1t was also rumored that Prussia had threat.
ened to assist in suppressing the meditated
insurrectionary movements in Hungary. The
Swiss troops which were sent from Rome to
suppress the rising at Borugia, had had a
desperate encounter with the people, shooting
them down unfortunately.
GREAT BRIrAIN.-Pa Parliamentary proceed
ings in England had been suspended until
the Ministers of the Government were re-
elected. 1t was rumored that the new Min
istry would curtal the naval expenditures
PARIS, Saturday 25.-The Emperor tele-
graphs as follows to the Empress:
"CASDIA, Friday Eve.-Great battle-great
victory. The whole Austrian army formed
a line OF battle extending FIVE leagues in
length. We have taken cannon, flags, and
prisoners. The battle lasted from 4. n.
till s in the evening""
A Vienna dispatch supplies a partial con-
frmation OF the above, in stating that the
battle was progressing, but no details were
received.

Politics at the Illinois State Capt.
tai.
The Sprinfeld correspondent of the st.
Louis Democrat says:
Douglas stock in Springfield is low-not
much in the market. 1t is true, "the faithful
few" whose business it is to laud the 'little
giant are still following their trade, but
many who were once his admirers now think
the less said Of him the better. The Nation
al Democratic party begin to show signs of
life. While the Douglas organ in this city
the State Registers apparently droop-
ing, the Nation ale will commence the publ
cation of a new daily this week. 1t will be
published by Messrs. Clarkson, Kreigh /
Russell. The editorial department will be in
the hands of James j. Clarkson, Esq, who
has edited, with some ability, for some
months, the Weekly State Democrat. The
daily is to be called The Daily Illinois State
Democrat. Mr.. Buchanan has given the
new paper some Postofiice advertising, which
will serve as pap for the youngster during its
infancy.

Through the kindness of B. w. Poor, ESQ.,,
who has just returned from Des Moines, we
are enabled to give the following synopsis of
important decisions rendered by the Supreme
Court during its present session.
LANDLORDS LIEN.-James Grant VS.. White
wall, Marsh & Co., appeal from Scott coun-
ty. In this case the Court held that the Stat
ute Code, SEQ. 1910, 1911, providing for a
landlords Lien and the mode Of enforcing
the same, il not confined to farms, but ex-
tends to goods kept in store for sale; and
that the word ssused'' is intended to be un-
derstood in larger sense, and to express the
use incident to the nature and purpose of the
occupation Of the premises, the object of the
tenancy, and that in this case the cloths and
goods Of the Merchant Tailors were 'sused''
for the purpose Of sale and for making into
garments for customers. 1t was also further
held that the lien commences at the time the
tenant enters into possession, and continues
us provided in the Statute.
Mechanics LIES.-McGovan Il Haupt, ap-
peal from Scott county. The Court held that
in order to entitle the party to a mechanics
lien for lumber furnished and used in the
erection of building, there must be at least
mutual understanding that the material is
furnished, and is TO be used about the erec-
ton or reparation of building. Lumber
furnished from time to time in the usual
course Of trade to a mechanic, and not for
any particular building, is not subject to a
lien when used in the erection or reparation
Of building.
ATTACHMENT, DAMAGES AND SET-Orrs.-
Reed vs.. Chubb Bro. Borrows & Co., appeal
from Scott county Zinn vs.. Williams ct al
appeal from Dubuque county. The court in
these cases ruled that damages for the wrong;
full suing out of writ of attachment, man
be set off in the same action, when the writ i.
sued at the commencement Of the suit.-[Du.

The New Phase of Dem ocracy.

1t is the peculiar characteristic Of modern
Democracy that it derides the principles Of
Thomas Jefferson, repudiates the old doc
trine Of democratic equality, and laughs at
the idea Of human rights set forth in the
Declaration Of independence. We never
expected to see the time when a paper,
wearing the garb of democracy, would
publish such paragraph as the following
which we have cut out Of the Advocate of
this week. We do not wonder that a
party which Las the people in such contempt
should withhold protection from the natu
rallied citizen. But let US hear the Advo.

the place, several fine animals among the
number. The thieves went toward Sonora.
crossed the line, killed one horse and ate
him, and then made straight track for tho
Chirlcahui mountains. They probably be-
longed to Ca-chees' band, which haunts the
vicinity Of Apache Pass.
SLIGHTLY WARN.-On Saturday. the lItb
inst, the thermometer at Tubac, in the shade
OF a cool hall, with the floor sprinkled, stood
at LOG; on Sunday, 1903; on Monday, 1O4: on
Tuesday, los; on Wednesday, los. At 7
O'Clock in the evening, on these DAYS. the
range was from 80 to &c. Such weather
strongly suggests the idea that the suburbs
OF certain hot place are not far from this
region. At such time, one ~ants to follow
the plan recommended by Sydney Smith,
namely, stake of his flesh and sit in his
bones"
IMPORTANT FROM SoNoRA.-Capt. Stone and
his party, who have been surveying Sonora.
under the lsham contract, arrived at Fort
Buchanan on the 18th inst, having been or
dered out of Sonora by Governor Pesquiera.
Capt. Stone will proceed to Washington, but
his party will remain and endeavor to con.
tinue surveys on the frontier.
The revolt OF the Opata and Yaqui Indians
was creating great CONSERVATION in Sonora.
The Indians had defeated the government
troops IN four engagements, and were march
ing on Guaymas, where the foreign residents
were taking refuge on board vessels.

One OF the most remarkable letters lately
received from Europe, is that of the Irish
correspondent Of the New York Observer, in
winch ne describes in glowing words the or
igin and progress of the blessed and power
full work Of grace in Ireland. Beginning
with the conversion of family near Ahog-
hill, an extraordinary interest has been awak-
ened. Prayer meetings multiplied-crowds
locked to these refreshing streams-no or
binary houses are able to accomm odate the
eager multitudes that assembled to hear the
burning prayers, and to listen to the plain
but heart stirring addresses Of the converted
bretheren, and those ministers and laymen
whose hearts the Lord moved to engage in
this important work. The open field or the
public wayside, even in the cold evenings Of
spring, were the scenes of deeply interesting
meetings, over which angels lowered with
JOY. The gracious revival has extended from
the parish Of Conner to that Of Ahophill:
then to Pertgenone, and round by Iullv.
Largeey, Grange, Straid, Slatt, Galgorm Park.
killalers, Cloughwater, Clough, and Rashar-
kin; nor is it yet showing any symptoms Of
decline-on the contrary, it is moving on
with amazing power. Every day, and al
most every hour, is bringing tidings OF con-
| viction. The interest IL more and more
awakening and extending.
