there came forth to oppose him, an "old
man" who had "been to the wars" and who
had filed the office for many years, and
the people knew that the young man was
lately Republicanite and was still of the
color Of his native tribe, so they rsbuked
bis presumption and elected the old mar

Aud it came to pass, that after the cleo
tion, the defeated candidates were much
disappointed, (for they had labored hard
and spent much time and money so they
cursed the people and greatly abused

THE AGE OF VIRTUE.

Under the title of the age Of virtue, |
propose to iseus from the GazCste Office,
a. family newspaper, if sufficient encOurs'
auement shall be manifested. The plan
OF the paper will be developed under the
head we have adopted, in few succeed
mo numbers of the Gazette Il Democrat,
to which articles, when they shall appear,
l invite special attention. The want OF
such paper as ] shall propose to issue,
will, confidently trust, te felt in every
family. For the present, it is bearly re-
marked, that the mission of the "Age Of
Pirtus" will be, to counteract, ,aud as far as
possible to nuturlize the perverted taste
for reading which has been formed to so
alarming an extent in every department
of society, ty that class of papers, called
family newspapers; which are filed with
little else than that modern style Of Litera'
ture, known as light reading; and which
tor the time being, has SO misdirected the
minds. especially of tie young, as almost
wholely to obliterate the slightest inclina-
ton for substantial or instructive works.
1 make no present reflections upon novel
reading but leave those who read them,
te determin for themselves how much they
have been informed in the really useful
lessons of life, or how much their moral
sentiments have been improved thereby.
Beyond directing the taste for reading
into its legitimate channel the further
mission Of "Oge" will be, to inform the
understanding, improve the moral stand
ard of the individual, and elevate the re-
ligious sentiments Of the heart. The
great Fundamental principles Of the chris
tian religion will bo sustained, while Sec
tartan doctrines will be eschewed. Local
or party politics will know no place in the
"Age;;" but worthy articles, sustaining
the right of man to govern himself, II
accordance with the Republican Democra
tic American idea, will be incorporated
Thegoverning ideaiu thepurposes to which
the "Age" viii be devoted will exclude al
Aimsy matter. or any sentiment calculated
rather to impair, than to add to the un
derslanding, or the health Of virtuous eff
fort. Its columns will be filed in every
number with standard reading; all Of
which may be read in coming generations
and therefore the work may be preserved
and bound. The scope which the "Age'
will compass, will be wide. In a future
article, the principle character oiits litera'
ture will be briefly alluded to-, with some
further reasons why such a work should
become family Newspaper. II. SCOTT.

EY- The New York Tribune says:
We yesterday laid before Ourfeaders let
ter from the Hon. John Bell % Mr.. Thom-
as H, Watts Of Montgomery, Ala, in re-
ply TO an inquiry as to the views OF the
distinguished candidate Of tho Uuion
party concerning the grest questions now
at issue before the country. In that let
ter, Mr.. Bell refers his correspondent to
collection Of extracts frsm his speeches
and letters. with referescss to his votes,
lately published by the Central Union
Committee of Tennessee. Mr.. Watts hay
ing carefully examined thu collection, pub
fishes in The Montgomery Post the fol-
lowing summary of the 'iews set forth
therein:
"Mr. Bell thus distinctly announces,in
my judgement, the following propositions;
~. A distinct repudialion OF Wilmot
Provisoism.
"2. A distinct repudiGion of "squatter
sovereignty as long ago as l848.
"3. A distinct announcement that the
Territories are the common property OF
the States composing tho Union; and that
the citizens of each Stah had the right to
20 into such Territories with their prop
erty Of every description, and while there,
TO have protection to property and per-
sons.
81. That Slavery, as it exists among
US, is civilly, morally, aud rel!glOusly,
right: sanctioned by the Constitution OF
the United States, blythe Bible, aud by
the practice of men in all ages, and that
it ought to be extended.
The record OF Mr.. Bell running through
period Of more than quarter OF a CEN
tury gives the strongest assurance OF his
fidelity 10 the institutions of the South,
the land of his BIRTH and Of his love to
the Constitution and Union Of our lath-
ers.
"These opinions Of Mr.. Bell, 80 long
entertained and acted on in public life,
afford 10 us Of the South stronger guar
anty against wrong than the sudden an
nounc ements Of eleventh hour converts,
1t is not necessary for us to say, that
most ofthe opinions here attributed to Mr.
Bell seem to us to be pernicious nor that
in our judgement, their Incorporation in
to the permanet policy of the country
would tend 10 nothing but the perpetua'
ton of strife and discord. Nor have we
hitherto understood Mr.. Bell as holding
Pro Slavery views Of go extreme a chsrac-
tel; though we have now become aware
that such yisws are set forth in various
passages in bis published opinions.
But the points to which We now desire
to call attention, are: 1. That Mr.. Bell
above all holds position of hostility to
the Squattor Sovereignty of Mr.. Douglas;
9. That he is in favor of Territorial Sla'
We Code; and 3. That he gives no coun-
tenance to the plan of some Of his pretend
ed friends who ppopose to support him by
voting for his biterest antagonists For
that sor. ofpoitics we venture to say no
word Of appreciation will ever coma from
the lips of JONI BELL.

Later from pixies Peak.

ST.. JOSEPH, Aug. s.---The Pixies Peak
Expres, with dates to the Cd inst, arrived
here to-day.
On Tuesday last, three sporting msn,
Carl Wood, George Steele, and John
Rocker in STATE Of intoxcstion, entered
the Office ofthe Rocky Mountain News, and
seized VIM. II. Byers, editor brandishing
cooked revolyers, and threatened to kill
him instantly, or any one who might in
,erlere. They forced him to accompany
them to the Criterion saloon, where they
become more violent in their threats and
demonstrations. The proprietor OF the
saloon succeeded in attracting their atten'
ton while Byers was taken out at the
back door, aud escaped to his office. The
three desperadoes then mounted their hor'
see, and rode 10 the News office, and en-.
Geavorcd TO decoy Byers, with the inten'
ton ofshooting him; but failing, they rode
past the office, and fred several shots
into 1t, which was returned, one ball Ia
king effect on Steele, but not disabling
him.
BY this time the whole town was rails
ed, and turned out en- mssse 10 pursuit
When near the Platte they separated Steele
coming back towards town and was shot
in the head by Thomas Pollock. Wood
aud Rocker were captured two hours la.
ter. Intense excitement prevailed, and
cries of "haug them," resounded from the
crowd.
Cooler counsel prevailed, and they
were arrested for trial. Their fate viii BE-
decided to day by trial.
Wood was once destroying angel" al
Salt Lake, but fled hitherto, having de.
slroyed saint.
Wood and Steele are both desperate
characters, and are dangerous TO friend
and foe wheL intoxicated. Rocker en-
joys a similar reputation.
1t is reported that rich discoveries have
been made 80 miles from Colorado City OF

For the Gazette and Demo crat.
The Meteor Of August ed, 1850, as seen at
Lancaster, Ohio.
A few pinutes after ten O'Clock in the
evening, the bedroom OF the writer was
strongly illuminated for one or two sec.
onds by a light which entered the room
through q window on the south side. Sew.
eral of our citizens who happened TO be
abroad at that hour, saw meteor. appa.
rently as largo as the moon, darting across
the southern region Of the sky from east
to west. 1t emerged from the sky in the
south east, and passing in line parallel
10 the horizon. vanished in the south
west. 1t WAS followed by train oflight,
and just before it vanished was seen TO ex-
pode.
The elevation Of the track Of the mete.
or was about lS degrees above the hori
zon. A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial. writing from Oynthiana,
Ky, states that the elevation Of the mete
or, as seen from that place. was as de-
grees, and that it's course was from south
east to west,south-w Now Cynthiana
is 10 miles in n direct line from Lancas.
ter, Assuming the foregoing data 10 be
correct, i! will be found by trigonomet-
rical calculation, that at the moment when
the meteor was seen from Lancaster in the
direction of CYnthiana. it must have been
ITO miles from Lancaster. and at hight
of pboul 60 miles above the earth.
Assuming also that the apparent diam
eter of the meteor as seen at Lancaster
was equal to the apparent diameter of the
moon, 100 diamoters Of the meteor would
be equal to the distance Of the meteor from
Lancaster. The diameter of the meteor
must therefore have been equal to l7(
miles divided by 100, which gives ont
mile aud five twelfths.
The elevation Of the meteor, as seen q
Lancaster, was determined by an nstru
ment placed at the epot where one of thC
observers Of the phenomenon had stood
and directed toward lixcl point in range
with which the meteor had been seen L
pass. lu regard to the observation a
Cyhthiaua, 1t 10 not stated whether the Oh
server had any means ofaccurately deter
mining the elevation, OF whether he mere
| ly guessed at it, Ny Impression is tina
the true elevation at Cynthiana must have
been considerably less than 45 degrees
for at Cincinnati, the meteor passed a de
gree or two below the planet Mars, which
at that time was only % or 90 degree
above the horizon. 1t is therefore probH
ble that the foregoing estimates Of Tn,
distance aud magnitude of the body ar,
below the truth. J. w.
