JOIN MrTcHELL.-The following paragraph
weclip from letter of this patriot to the Ma
tional Intelligencer of the 23d ult, containing
in nutshell his views on the position of par
ties and the probable course Of the Irish sem
timent in the United States.
He is correct in supposing that this large
and respectable vote will go in a body for the
Breckenridge and Lane Ticket:
If the Republican party had nominated Mr..
Seward, their great statesman, leader, and
creator, most of the Northern Irish, perhaps
nearly all, would certainly have supported
him; bound to him as they are by his uni
form vindcation of their rights as citizens,
even sometimes against his own party. On
the other hand, Irishmen dwelling South will,
presume. most generally be diseiples(as am
myself of Mr.. Yancy, of Alabama. Mr.. Sc
ward is right in asserting that there is an ir-
repressible conflict, and Mr.. Yancy is right in
admitting and accepting that fact, with a view
to ending said conflict in the easiest way.

The news Of the nomination OF John G,
Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, for the PreSiden-
cy, and Of General 80. Lane, of Oregon. for
the Vice. Presidency, was received in this ci.
ty with unbounded satisfaction by the entire
Democratic party. No boisterous acclaims,
no titful and evanescent enthusiasm produced
by the glare Of rockets and the booming Of
cannon, were brought into QUESTION to ex-
cite and heat public Imagination; but there
was a smile Of pleasure and confidence upon
the countenal CO of every Democrat which
betokened more than words can express the
qualification and delight which the intelligence
afforded ,t.
We consider it task OF supererosation- to

MYsTERIoUs.-In cleaning out the old well
near the "Texas" at Cooper's Well, in this
county few days since, the bones of some
victim of foul play were discovered with
rock attacked to them by a rope. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that it is the result of
midnight revelries and that the perpetrators
of the foul deed adopted this method of con-
cealing the body, as the well was not used
Some one may confess the crime when the
CHASTITY parsonage bearing the scythe on the
pale horse visits him, or perchance, when he
IS about to satisfy the demands of justice on
the sallows for some other crime.

Look OUT FOR YOUR RAILS Farmers
should keep sharp look out for their split
rails during the present campaign. John
Moran purchased some time ago two acre
lot on the Sewall place in Chelsea, which was
fenced with the old fashioned rails and posts
Three nights ago every rail was carried of
leaving the posts standing. 1t is probable
that the rails will be used for political pur.

INDIANS IN THE BRITIsH RANKs.-It is sta
ted in Canadian paper that at dinner given
by the Chief of the Six Nations in honor Of
the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen Of
Great Britain, that number of Indians of
the Six Nations had enlisted into the Tooth or
Royal Canadian Regiment, and were acquit-
ting themselves as regular soldiers with
much credit. This is probably the first in
stance Of North American Indians appearing
in the ranks of the British army as regular
soldiers.
