CHIeAGo, November 9th, 1850.
Ma. EDIrsR:-We have been gratified with
a sight the President and Vice President elect
Of the United States, at this place, and had the
distinguished honor Of shaking hands with them.
They had public reception on Friday last.
from 10 to ~ O'Clock, A. M. In that time,
over two thousand persons were introduced. 1t
was very interesting scene. Msssrs. Lincoln
and Hamlin were in excellent spirits. Mr.
Lincoln maintains dIgnihed silence with re-
gard to the excitement in the South, and the
policy be may adopt-hs will speak out at the
proper time.
There ID considerable panic in the money
mark ct, but it is thought it will soon subsids.
Money here Is plenty, but thsre 10 great caution
exercised by capitalists.
The dispatches from Kansas concerning the
troubles in the southern portion, arc seriously
injuring the Territory. All sorts Of rumors are
aaost-among other things, is the report that
arms and munitions Of war are being transport.
ed into the Territory, for the purpose Of driving
out Pro Slavery men. and also to invsde Mis-
souri,. We are laboring to remove such impress
sions. in public and private. On the whole, We
find great sympathy existing in the public mind
for the people there. Kansas has multitude
of earnest, powerful friends. who will not desert
her in the hour Of distress.
Respectfully Youn. &C.,

old saying. that '.the course of true love

Tho young mans name wss John
Phillips, and he had been working for q
farmer near Oregon. Hs was . good
hand to work. but . consummats thief.
He stole yoke of oxen from Judge Ho-
land, which be took to Savannah and
sold. On bis way back. on Friday. hs
attempted to steal . horse, when the own.
or came ont with gun. and told him to
stop. He paid no heed to the warning.
when the man fred at him. and supposed
he had shot him through the breast. BIT
Il seems that the bullet grsssd his body.
and lodged in his arm. He fed. cross
cd the river At lows Point. and rode with
. man in . buggy to Prairie Springs,
where he was laid up. We learn that he
had undertook to treat the wound him

wound. it will probably only save him
from . violent death at no distant day
