A WHOLE FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH The
Story county Qowa) Advocate, relates the
following: Daniel Swearingen, while trav-
Ring in an emigrant Wagon with his family
consisting Of his wife and four children, was
overtaken by fire on the prairie. The bed
aud other iniammable materials caught fire,
and the clothes of Swearingen before he
could make his way out of the wagon caught
fire, and falling out he was kicked by one Of
his horses and stunned. He revived in time
to see his wife fall from the wagon, burned to
death, and to drag from the flames one of his
children, alraady dead. His own clothing
was burned entirely from his body. and he
was very severely burned, especially in the
head, face and hands He was rendered
sightless, but hopes are entertained of his
recovery, and that his eyesight is not des-
troyed. Two of the children were literally
burned up in the wagon. OF one, nothing
could be found but the skull the other a
charred mass, in which was no trace of hu-
manity left One of the horses was burned
to death in the harness the other succeeded
in freeing himself but was badly burned.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIvERY.-Last Satur-
day, about o'clock, =. NJ, as the county
lailor, Mr.. Henry Reid, was about to lock up
for the night, and had brought out three Of
the prisoners confined in the Jail into the
the front room, for some purpose, he was
seized by the Mexican Palomeno Garcia who
Immediately snatched Reid's pistol and struck
him terrible blow on the head. knocking
him down, and started to drag him into one
of the cells. The cook, John Williams. hear
ing the noise, ran to Reds assistance, but
was seized by John Davis. imprisoned for
petit larceny, and with him scuffled some
moments, but finally having reached the in
ner part of the Jail, he succeeded 10 overpow-
ering Davis and pushing him into a cell,
closed the door on him. Williams then turn
ed to assist Reid and found the Mexican had
backed into his cell and was attempting to
drag the jailor in. Although the Mexican
had keid's pistol in one hand cooked. Will
liams with great presence of mind wrenched
it from him; at the same time, breaking his
hold of the jailOr-pushed the prisoner back
into his cell and closed the door. Reid. al
though nearly blinded by the blood stream
ing from his head Immediately locked the
jail, and running to the Court House gave
the alarm. To his credit, be it said one of
the prisoners, Charles Mardout, rendered no
assistance to the Others. On examination,
Reid was found to be terribly beaten about
the head, and at the present writing is lying
in a critical condition. One of the wounds,
and the severest. appears to have been made
by the cock of the pistol, and may have in
jured the skull. Tie cook, Williams, who is
confined for trivial offence, is entitled to
much praise for the part he enacted. He
says he saw the Mexican repeatedly strike
Reid over the head with the pistol, but he
was powerless to render any assistance until
he succeeded in freeing himself from Davis.

JAPANESE AND CHINESE TEAs.-A CORES
pondent of the Bulletin, writing from Japan
says:
japanese teas differ materially from the
teas prepared in China. The Chinese with
the aid of the Tea Inspection Board in Lon
don) have found it necessary to create new
havors and new styles of the herb in order
to meet the morbid tastes of inveterate tea
drinkers and novelty in the arscle. Hence
the mixture ut many eXtraneous articles with
the teas of commerce. Many havors are OBJ
tained for that purpose; some for their deli
cacy Of flavcr-others for their astrippept
qualities The natural tea leaf lacks uni
forinity of color This is remeded bv the
by the use of Prussian blue iudigo, and
sometimes with dash of copperas. Hence
the teas of China are not the genuine article
drunk by the Chinese themselves, but made
to suit the tastes and markets of the outside
barbarians.
Japan tea consists of the pure leaf Of the
tea plant, or rather tree, for the best tea leaf
is procured from trees over a hundred wears
old. The leaf is carefully plucked and col
lected in baskets, which are then taken hold
of by the women and children, who proceed
to divide each leaf into three parts, about
equally. The part nearest the point of the
leaf is "itckibang," or first quality; and the
portion nearest the stem is "sambang," or
third quality. The leaves thus divided are
then rolled as you find the tea in the shops,
dried, slightly fired, and are then consider, d
marketable. The japanese always fire their
drawing of tea before wetting it, and thus
Improve its flavor. The best teas are, how
ever, powdered, pinch being drawn in each
cup. japanese tea will sooner or later. be-
come favorite with us in the United States
It is free from the Objectionable quality of
Chinese tease-does not affect the nerves !;
and, when prepared with boiling water, is a
delicious beverage

The Committee of SO.

The House Union Saving Committee
are still at work, but seem TO have Hccom'
plished nothing beyond the passage OF the
following resolution by vote OF 29 to .:
"ResolUed, That in the opinion OF this
Committee, the existing discomfort among
the Southern people, and the growing
hostility among them to the Federal Gov.
ernment, are greatly TO be regretted, and
thai, whether such discomfort and hosll-
i,y are without Just cause or not, am rea.
sonabIe and constitutional remedies. and
additional and more specific and etfrclual
guarantees Of their peculier rights aud trs
terests as recognized by the Constitution,
necessary to preserve the peace OF tie
country and the perpetustion of the
Union, should be promptly and cheeriuIly
granted"
We have no faith that any good Will
be effected by the laboIs of this Com
miuee, unless they shall prove to The
South that no further concessions will bt
made TO the slave interest. Mr.. Corwln
it is said, has about perfected new com

represented. No compromise with Slave
~ can be made or accepted by Northern
men, without disgrace. What Republican
will be so regardless Of the North, or o

VOLUME XI. NO. 81,
Our ONLY Danger.

We sincerely hope the doubts oil our
Washington correspondent, "Croaker
in regard to the 6rmness and integrity oil
the Republican organization, are un-
founded, If the Republicans should now
offer concessions to the Slave Power,
il would be the first instance ever known
OF great and victorious army proposing
10 surrender, and suing for peace, in the
hour of triumph. We do not believe
they will /; and yet it is well to be pre-
pared for the worst. The past should
teach us never TO be surprised by any
new or Unforeseen manifestations OF ser,
witty 70 the Slave Power. We have felt,
from the first OF this Secession excitement,
that here is our only danger. The Seces'
sionis,s who can do nothing Of themselves,
reIy, now as in all former contests, upon
the faithlessness and timidity OF Northern
men. Shall their reliance prove vain
one I?
Those arc the dying ugonics OF the Slave
Power. They are terrible, but will soon DC
over, unless our Representatives yield h'
vantage ground wo have so fairly won. WI
can make no compromise without restoring
TO full life and activity the cause of all ou
national evils and perls. The restoration
of the Missouri Compromise limo, and II
. extension to the Pacific, as proposed by IN
Albany Evening Journal, would be res
ioration of tho whole controversy to whic
that line gave rise. Nor can any o'he
compromise bo accepted with honor G
safety by the North. The duty of tho II,
publicans is plain-to MAINTAIN thor prime
pics, which have been approved by the pee
pie, and 10. the NuIlifiers and Scccssionis
fako the responsibility of their own acts.
If the incoming Administration shall b
Just and judicious, it will outlive tho prescr
clamor, and be reelected in 1861; on
eight years of Republican rulo will pence
fully work out tho redemption of our Coz
ernmeut from the support of Slavery. W
have nothing to fear, if we are truo to tn
principles and policy which have secure
our triumph; but, if false to these, our day
as a party, arc numbered.

Mr. Hutchins' Resolution.

In the House, on the l2th inst, the
Speaker, pursuant TO an order OF the day
previous, having called the various States
for propositions relating to the condition
Of the county, many resolutions were Of
fered looking to further humiliation of the
North, but only one demanding equal
and exact justice to all sections. That
resolution was offered by John Hulchins,
the worthy Representative of the Trumbuli
and Ashtabula District, "inslructing The
committee to report what legislation is
necessary to give full effect to that part of
the Constitution which provides that the
citizens of each STATE shal! be entitled TO
all the privileges and immunties Of the
other States; and also that it is necessary
to secure to all the people, whether re-
siding in or travelling through any State,
the full benefit OF that part of the Consti-
tuition which secures them against un-
reasonable searches and seizures in the
absence Of probable cause"
When Southern men talk OF concessions
and guarantees to Slavery, if Northern
men would always meet them with de-
mand for the enforcement of the Consti.
tutional provisions whi,h they have sc
long and so systematically violated, they
would have more faith in Northern honor
and more respect for Northern rights

OF Secretary Of State, and left the Admins

ard disgust. The cause assigned for his
resignation is The refusal Of the President

Forts at Charleston. There are but 63
men, all told, at Fort Moultrie, and yet
Mr.. Buchanan lends deaf ear TO the ad
vice Of friends, ana the urgent request of

men, because he fears, If he should COM
