Shocking Accident.

A terrible accident occurred IN tie iown oI

which resulted in The death Of liuIe gIrl
seven years old. The parties 10 the sad

had proceeded short distance in this
way, followed by the girl, The latter SUM
bed and fell which so frightened the COW
that she ran of al furious rate, dragging
The poor girl after her. After running
some distance the girls head struck sol

LEAvENwoRTH, Oct. 80, M.-The Times
of this city has information from Southern
Kansas, that sixty dragons, under Capt
Sturgis, accompanied by Indian Agent
Cowan, had been driving the settlers from
what is known as Cherokee Neutral Lands.
The Times correspondent states that ~
homes had been burned and the occupants
turned out. Much excitement prevailed in
Southern Kansas, but it is thought the
statements are greatly exaggerated. A
meeting of citizens of this county was held
last evening to devise plans for general re-
lief of sufferers in the Territory. A commit
tee was appointed to solicit immediate aid
from the East. A committee was also ap-
pointed to act in concert with other coun-
ties in the matter, and call has been issued
for Conference at Lawrence On the q4th
of November. -..---- --. ...-...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-As much has re-
Gently been said in the public prints about
the recoining of gold dollars into pieces OF
larger denominations, it may be stated that
orders for that purpose have been issued
special cases only, and then on representa-
tion that the smaller coins occasioned much
inconvenience in the receipts and disburse-
ments, for no sooner are they paid out than
they are returned again in business trans
actions There appears to be redundancy OF
them in the hands of commercial classes.
The Assistant Treasurer at New York,
for the greater facility in counting, was au-
thorized to have about two million of them
recoined the Assistant Treasurer at St.
Louis, upwards of one hundred and fifty
thousand for similar reasons. This recoin-
age, however, applies only to the later issues,
which it is known are smaller in circumfer-
ence and thicker than the heavier and su-
perior coin of the former.
There are now,nine millions of the former,
aud of the latter six millions in circulation.
On q complaint a few days since from
Philadelphia, $500, 600 of the newer issues
were sent from New York to the mint,
whence they were withdrawn, and very
many of them again found their way to
New York, where gold dollars are q very
great convenience. 1t is considered that
there is redundance of them for large
transactions, aud hence the recent special
order for their rse0iHage. There does not
seem to be any purpose so to reduce the
amount of this description of coinage as to
inconvenience the public.

THE ELEcTIoN.-The Fusionists ;" have
three candidates for President, representing
three contradictory principles.
They agree only in one thing. That is y
determination, if possible, to prevent the
election of a President of the United States
The means they adopt are worthy of the
end they propose. Tney seek to bully the
people out of the exercise of constitution
al right by menaces of Treason
Whoever votes their ticket votes to-leave
the country without President, and to put
the Government into the hands of men who
are daily uttering threats against its exist
ence.
There is no way in which vote can be
cast in favor of electing President except
by casting it for Lincoln. There is no way
in which a vote can be cast in favor Of
keeping the Government out of the hands
of Disunionists except by casting it for Lin
coin. Every other vote contributes direct
ly towards leaving the Presidential chair
vacant and giving the Disunionists chance
to put one of their own number as acting
President.-1L6any Ecenmg Journal.

From California.


SAN FRANCIsCo, Oct I7.-There is intense
anxiety to receive the news of the next Ex-
press of the l 9th inst. Politicians generally 2
eoncede that if Foster is elected in Penn
sylvania, California will go for Douglas,
while if Foster is defeated and the other
Northern State elections result in Republic
can victories, California will go for Lincoln.
1t is generally conceded that the Breckin-
ridge party is losing ground.
Col. Baker, Senator elect from Oregon, is
expected to make tour of California for the
benefit of the Republican ticket.
Brevet Brig. General Clark, Commander
of the department of California, died in this
city to-day of chronic diarrhna, after two
weeks ILLNESS.
The raiI5y season has fairly commenced.
The Democratic papers of both wings Of
that party, generally denounce the Coalition
which elected one Republican Senator from

journal says "Remarkably shrewd and
well informed politicians recently from
Washington, states that some of the princi-
pal Breckenridge leaders from the South,
including Wigfall of Texas and Judge Meek
OF Alabama, agreed last Thursday upon a
plan of action in case of Lincoln s election,
viz: South Carolina, within thirty days af-
ter the election, would declare herself iude-
pendent and send an Ambassador to Wash
ington asking recognition. If recognized,
other Southern States would follow suit, and
after a sufficient number of States have thus
withdrawn, Southern confederacy would
be formed.

How Fusion GETS ALONG IN NEW YORK.

How Fusion GETS ALONG IN New York
The New York Times of Friday says;
The Republican party is the only organ
lied party in this State to-day It's Oppon-
ents are mere mob-withont unity OF
principle, or OF purpose, and without the
slightest shadow ofan effective organization.
Every step taken to promote their union
has only tended to demorallze them still
further. They are united upon no single
point of policy or of sentiment, except in
hatred of the Republicans; and even that
with tour-ffths of the whole mass, is sec
ondary and subordinate to their hatred of
each other. To suppose that, under such
circumstances, any effective opposition can
be made to well organized, harmonious
party, animated by common purpose,
holding the same principles, and stimulated
by the prospect Of success, is the highest of
folly. The fusion committee may set this
State down as certdin 10 give Lincoln ffty
HOusdn7 mqjority; and every dollar they
spend in the country will increase that ma
jority.
