posed to Douglas in any contingency. It says:
I'VE know not who it was that tele.rapled

vote for Douglas after the second or third bal

Arrival of the Pony Express.

ST. JOSEPH, June 1.-THE Pony Express,
with dates to June 3, from Ruby Valley,
thirty miles west of Salt Lake, arrived here
at six o'clock last evening. li off
No express from San Francisco since the
one which left on the 18th ult., and arrived
here June l, had been received at Ruby VAL
ley, which is the furthest station west that
has not been interfered with by Indians.
The Express had not started from Califor-
MIA in consequence of the depredations COM
mitted by Indians at stations breaking them
up and chasing off the agents. H.
Three employees of the Express Company at
Dry Creek have been murdered by the In
dians.
A command of twenty men under Lieut..
Weed was to leave Ruby Valley on the 4th
to chastise the Indians and reopen the road a.
soon as possible.
Reliable information is received that all
the Indian depredations have been instigated
by whites. A rumor was current at Salt
Lake that an emigrant train had been cut of
west of Ruby Valley, and nearly all of the
party killed.
The Express will commence this week
making semi-weekly trips, and will leave
here Wednesday, June l3, and Saturday, June
l6, at IL P. NJ, and thereafter the same time
and day. V NJ r'L t .Ua
All matter will be pushed through at the
earlist possible moment. ...r
The Superintendent of the Express Com
pany thinks that all will go regular in the
course of two weeks.

WASHINGTON, June 1l.---The Senate Com
mittee ON Finance met to-day, but took no
action on the tariff. They adjourned till to-
morrow, when the subject will be discussed,
as Mr.. Hunter has promised his friends TO
reach some decision on Wednesday and re-
port the result TO the Senate. The present
purpose is to move postponement of the
tariff till next December, alleging want of
time to consider it fully. .7..7f ...l
Instead Of reporting so much of Mr.. Nor
rilps tariff bill as provides for a loan TO meet
Mr.. Buchanan's floating debt Of $2l, ,000, ,0OO
Mr.. Hunter intends to move IL as an indie
pendent amendment to one Of the pending
appropriations by way of cutting off all con-
sideration of the tariff ...
Dispatches were received from Mr.. McLane
to-day, which give far more discouraging
account of the prospects of the Liberals than
has yet been published. All the recent state
ments of their victories appear TO have been
internal discotd and other causes, that the
Juarez Government can sustain itself,
even nominally, much longer, If at all.
Il is understood that Senior Mata received
substantially similar intelligence. Mr.. Nc
Lane is not expected to return home imme-
diately -"i
Col. Forney was before the Covode Com
mittee two hours to-day, and is 10 continue
his testimony tomorrow. II is said to be of
30 important q nature that copy of il will

the usual practice of the committee, they

the President makes known his pleasure on
the subject, by reply or otherwise.

More About the Great Derby and its Re-
..,..4t sultan English View.

The London Necs of the 2eth ult. says Of
the Great Derby and its result;
The defeat of "Umpire" was a great dis
couragement to the American party, who had
calculated with much confidence upon being
enabled to carry the champions belt and the
blue riband of the turf to America. Prior TO
the race the owner of "Nutbourner lodged
an objection against ''Umpire," on the ground
that the horse was not Of the age described.
Mr.. Merry. was warmly congratulated on the
success of his horse, and Il is said that he
wins, on bets alone, upward Of 10000.
"Nutbourne" broke down when running very
prominently. A'.
At exactly twenty-five minutes prior to the
time Of starting the numbers of the thirty
competitors were displayed on the telegraph
board. The horses assembled at the post with
the utmost punctuality, and the ringing of
the bell announced the start even before a
large majority of the spectators were pre-
pared for it. "Bentinck" was the first TO show
prominently in the race, and he took clear
lead as the horses ascended the hill; follow
ing directly in his track were ''Man-at-
Arms" "Nutbourne," "Rising Sum and
"Restes." In the extreme were sutton"
"Largesse'' and "Loiterer." ~ I'7''
"Bentinck" increased his lead half dozen
lengths on going up the hill but before
reaching the mile-post he disappeared from
the front, and "Restes," who had been head
ing the ruck, took up the running, with
"Nutbourne, n"Horror, "Rising Sun, S'HMan-
at-Arms," "Buccaneer,n brother to 'Rain-
bow "Thormanby," "The Wizard, ""Dangu''
and ''Umpire" taking their places at the head
Of the ruck. On coming round Tattenham
Corner, the front lot were in close company,
"Nutbourne" next the rails, having, perhaps
0 o slight lead with "Restes," ''The Wizard, :"
"Umpire," "Buccaneer,1 "Thormanby,"
brother to "Rainbow," and Horror" we'll up
in his stride. -
On crossing the road "Nutbourne" broke
down. and was pulled up, and soon after
"Restes' was beaten. The "Wizardn then
came TO the front, and running in the middle
of the course took clear lead followed by
"Thormanby,P "Dangu' and "Horror." At the
distance, "Thormanby" passed the "Wizardn
without an effort, and "Horror" took third
place half way up. From the moment that
'Thormanby'sn colors were seen in advance,
however, the issue of theracew was notin doubt;
he ran home an easy winner by length and
hall, four lengths separated the second from
the third, and four lengths the third from the
fourth. The running up" horses were "Sir
William "Umpire," NBuccaneer," "Man-at-
Arms" "Cape Flyaway" and "Restes," who
passed the post nearly in the order named.
"Loiterer" and "Wallace" were the last two.
"Thormanby" was twice nearly knocked on
his head, and wallace had narrow escape
Of falling the instant the flag was dropped.

rhe Richmona ava. ) uouxsnt,on.

RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-the following is
the programme for tomorrow in the Seceders
Conventions After the permanent organiza-
tion is accomplished, the Convention will
take recess, with the understanding that il
is to continue till after the Baltimore Oonven-
ton, SO as to allow the delegates to go there
in the meantime-the Richmond Convention
to be called together again when the Chair
man deems it advisable. All the delegates 20
to Baltimore, except those from South Caro-
lima, who were sent to Richmond only; but
the South Carolinians, who are a fine set OF
gentlemen, will wait for the other delegations
till they return, and take joint action with
them. The disadvantage is, however, that
the vote of South Carolina will be lost in the
Baltimore Convention.
RICHMOND, June l2.-The proceedings of
the Convention were opened with prayer by
the Rev. DR.. Duncan.
Mr.. Calhoun, Of South Carolina son Of
John O. Calhoun, from the Committee on
Permanent Organization, made the following
report, which was adopted: For President,
John Erwin, of Alabama, with one Vice
President and Secretary from each State,
with the exception of New York.

PartIouIars of the death Of AIbcrt smith.

Particulars of the Death of Albert smith.
A London letter-writer informs us in re-
gard to Albert Smiths decease; r0
His death was very sudden and unexpected,
and he himself was unconscious of its APP
proach. All sorts of preposterous stories Of
his illness have appeared in the newspapers
but you may depend on the particulars now
send you as correct. This day fortnight he
walked from the Egyptian Hall to the Gar
rick. Club in a'pouring rain, without UNI
brella or great-coat. On his arrival at the
Club he was wet to the skin, but instead of
at once going home and changing his clothes,
he actually sat down before fire and dried
his shirt on his body. He remained in his
damp clothes and wet boots until late hour
in the evening, and the next day Of course
found himself with severe cold. Bronchitis
set in, increasing day by day, until on the
Saturday he was scarcely able to get through
his entertainment. Then he returned home
and took to his bed, and on Monday he was
SO Ill that the surgeon attending him said it
would be as much as his life were worth If
he attempted to SHOW" that night. He was
told this, and gave a reluctant and grumbling
acquiesence; but, when he found that the
time arrived, that he was not to be permitted
to go to the Egyptian Hall, and that his
friends had prepared bills Announcing his
Illness he grew furious, and vowed he would
not be treated like child. .i.I ru.
On Tuesday he was so i'll that the services
Of an eminent physician were deemed requi-
site, and DR.. Burroughs was sent for. On
his arrival he gave very little hope. That
evening his breathing BECAME dreadfully op-
pressed, the bronchial tubes were full of
phlegm, the lungs were rapidly congesting,
and he could not initiate them. At eleven he
became unconscious, and remained SO until
eight tho next morning, when he died very
calmly, and without the smallest struggle.
He was prostrated, weak and helpless. Ori-
ginally his constitution was iron-like, won
derfully strong, and capable of endurance;
but he never recovered the attack of epilepsy
which he had five months since, and he had
not strength to resist the bronchitis. There
were present with him his poor little wife, to
whom he had been only nine months mar
ried, and his brother Arthur, to whom he
was tenderly attached. For years he had
lived very hard life, never drinking to ex-
cess, for it seemed impossible for him to ex-
coed, but eating and drinking heavily, sitting
up late, taking no exercise, and doing every
thing unhealthy.

A New Southern Review Ultra on the
Slavery Question. .

The Plantation, published in Georgia vii
lage, whose editor says "We hope and ex-
pect to make the Plantation as powerful in
the formation of public opinion throughout
the civilized world as is the Edin6uvy Quar-
terly or Blackpoofs," has the following state
ment of its opinions: l,i ag -
1--WE have no apology TO make for slavery
in the Southern states, but stand up boldly,
and in the face of the world proclaim that it
is o just, a humane and useful institution,
having the sanction both of nature and Of
natures God..l't .4slt1l. .l,an H.
"The great error of the Ebon philanthro-
pists in this country and in England is, that
they mistake the nature of the negro, and
consider him white man--so to speak--with
black skin. This is no more the truth than
to consider white man negro with white
skin. There is as much difference between
the physical, moral and mental conformation
of the white man and negro as there is be-
tween the conformation of the negro and the
ourang-outang. Nor will it do to point us to
a few exceptional cases of negroes who have
attained to some degree of mental and moral
culture, as furnishing disproof of what we say
here. Just as we'll point to idiots and lunatics
to prove by their cases that the white race is
imbecile and incapable of improvement, as to
refer to a few intellectual negroes to prove
that their race is capable of moral and mental
culture" y o.. s..a.Is.a.I

The President Responsible for FowIer,s
.... DefalcRtiOu, d..


..... DefalcatiOn.
A Washington correspondent of an East
ern journal says:
After the letter Of the Postmaster General,
explaining the nature and extent of Fowler's
defalcation, and fixing the responsibility di-
rectly upon the Sixth Auditors Office, il is
inconceivable how the President can tolerate
such people in place for an hour. This charge
emanates not from the Covode Committee, or
from any hostile political source, but from
member of his own Cabinet, in an Official
communication to Congress- 1t is one of the
most serious accusations ever made against
public officer, and involves a criminal aspect,
which may not be treated lightly. Fowler
never could have pursued this system of
robbery-for that is the true and the only
name for the offense-without the privitylor
collusion of the accounting officer. Had
their duty been performed under the law, he
would have been checked years ago, and this
defalcation prevented. There is reason to
know that the President was made aware of
the difficulty which occurred in the adjust
ment Of Fowler's accounts for the quarter
ending 3lst of December, and of the anxiety
which that event excited among the trusty
officials of the Department, before he went to
Charleston as delegate, and representative
man of the Administration. That fact will
not be denied, and it certainly is calculated
to provoke the gayest comment.

An Alleged 1Iontnra Case I'm Boston-yrhe
Kidnappins of n Child of Protestant
NIOtbar.. ,.t.a ...H 10.

Mother -a.-.f ef.- s4l .r H -le. -a
A little girl seven years of age, Georgiana
Bennett Newcomb, was kidnapped from Wes-
ley Place, yesterday, says Saturdays Boston
atlas, under circumstances that lead to the
belief that she was stolen by Catholics. The
father of the girl, whose name was Bennett,
and who has been dead some years, was
Catholic. The mother was formerly d Cath
olic but since the death of her husband has
renowned the Catholic Church and became
a Protestant. Three or four years since she
was married to second husband, Mr.. A. B.
Newcomb, of this city. p it-
Within few weeks past her Catholic
friends have frequently visited her, and re-
quested her to return to the Church with
which she was formerly connected. This she
has refused to do, saying she has suffered
enough from her connection with that church.
They then demanded the possession of the
child, that she might be brought up in the
faith Of her father. The mother refused to
give up the child, but fearing that they would
claim 1t after her death, gave it, by properly
attested writings to her husband, Mr.. New
comb. 7Fi = rc-a-. I..-a i..1 f'.F l-T
Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four
o'clock, the child was at play with other
children in frunt of the house. A woman,
who lives in Wesley Place, says that she saw
a lady approach the child and apparently ask
her name. The child answered, when the
woman took her by the hand and led her into
and down Hanover-street. Since that time
Mr.. Newcomb has been unable to obtain any
tidings from her. Information has been re-
ceived by him indicating premeditated and
deep-laid plot for the abduction of the girl
and measures will be taken to recover her, If
possible. n4.G.loouu 1llaa-aa

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENA OF LIGHT
NING.-George W. Cook, and smaller
brother, who were at work on the farm of
their father, on the Ohio River, about three
miles above Parkersburg, Va, during late
thunder storm, took refuge from the storm
under large sugar maple tree. While there,
and as George was leaning against the trunk
Of the tree, II was struck by lightning, kill
ing him instantly. The ear of the deceased
is slightly burnt, as though the lightning had
passed into the head, and portion Of his
brains ran out from the opening in his
head.
There was no mark of the lightning's track
on his body, but both on the front and back
part thereof was traced fdc sinile of the
tree under which the deceased was standing,
the trunk commencing near the neck, and
the entire figure, bark, limbs, twigs and
leaves, perfectly and plainly delineated, in
reversed position, upon the body, as precise
and accurate as though done by a camera.
