g6H Hon. jeremiah Clemens, writing
from Huntsville to his paper, the Memphis
Enquirer, gives the following Characters
tic paragraph:
81 see that Mr.. Sumner, in his late speech,
thought proper to pay his respects to me.
He calls me a slave owner, and quoles a
part of my speech, in reply to Mr.. Rhett, to
prove that violent and bloody instincts are
engendered by the relation of master and
slave. 1t may surprise Mr.. Sumner to learn
that | have never been the owner Of slave.
l have never been engaged in any pursuit or
avocation in which slave labor would have
been of the slightest benefit to me. and |
have never been able to buy slaves for the
mere purpose of waiting upon me. There
is negro man here with whom was raised
who has lived with me a great deal, and
who was with me throughout the Mexican
war, but the title in him was not in me
it was in my father; and if Mr.. Sumner
will ask any of the surviving officers or
soldiers of the 9th infantry (all of whom
were from New England), l think they will
tell him that it was matter of some doubt
whether I belonged to the negro or he
belonged to me-"

Arrival of the Pony E1press.

ST. LOUIS, June 25th.-The Pony Express,
with dates from Carson Valley to June 9Th,
arrived here to-day. ---e---
1t was thought that the Indian war would
soon be over, as the force now in the field
will be able to subdue them, and reduce
them to control, or drive them from beyond
the limits where mining explorations are to
be carried on. Is was the general opinion
that the savages will have to be punished
severely to bring them to terms.
1t was feared that they would not stand
a fight but retreat to the mountains, thus
delaying the final issue, and probably lead
ing to protracted war.
A messenger had arrived from the army,
reporting that the Indians had fed without
an engagement.
Col Lander's Road Expedition had ar
rived in Honey Lake Valley, and would
Immediately proceed to the seat of war.

"BLOw YoUR OWN TRUMPET. The En-

How broad the burlesque in that para

little more modest. Neighbors, people of

psA.We give, to-day, two more letters
from our Eastern correspondent F." The
portions of his letters relating to the cur
rent business of the Convention are stricken
out, as the telegraph has anticipated his ac-
count of it. The comments he makes on
the discordant action of the q harmonious
is very edifying, especially to the honest
Democrats of the rank and file who have
always looked up to their party as being
immaculate. They will see that this Demo-
cratic party which now misrules the coun-
try is " whited sepulchres full of dead
mems bones and all uncleanliness" Or to
change the figure double-headed gorgon,
horrid and repulsive to the sight of the hon
est yeomanry of the country. The peo-
pie are rising in their might to exterminate
the monster. .

City Council of last Saturday evening, as
they are of considerable Importance. We
were all SO busy with the telegraphic Con-

Equalization business on Monday that he

ceedings was delayed. We now give them
fully and correctly.

GG~ The Methodist General Conference,
at its late session at Buffalo, decided not to
elect the new Bishops that were talked of,
but to require the present Bishops to do the
whole work belonging to their Office. 1t

tional exertion, and those worthy men,
being hard workers, were willing to try it
fos the good of the church. The Conference

Good Room for more Me Gregor To,ca J
Press. #E#
We should like to know if that is Pat.
Richardson, Senator from St. Joseph Co. in
our Legislature in 1855, who, with Col. Drew
and other inveterate Democrats, -"played
such ia antastic tricks before high heaven as
made the angels weep" Mr.. Richardson
was then a dYed-in-the- wool Democrat, and
stubborn beyond endurance against the An
ti-Nebraska House; but withal, clever,
whole-souled fellow. We used to notice
that the boiling and revolutionary conduct
of his party put him to shame, and he hard
ly had the /" faeen to stand out-against pub
lie sentiment. But his party offered the
bitter dose and he swallowed it.
Now, if We are not mistaken, the same
good-humored, talented Irishman has joined
the party of freedom and progress. It is
just what we should expect of well-mean-
ing and honest-hearted man. Welcome to
Pat. Richardson
