Railroad and Telegraph to the Pa
cffic from St. Paul.

Oregon advices to the 18th of March
have been received. The proposition for a
joint convention, representing Oregon and
Washington Territory, to urge Congress to
build the Pacific Railroad from St. Paul to
the Columbia river, on the ground of that
being the best route, and the one enlisting
interest, is strongly and urgently advocated
by the Oregon press.
The New York Times Washington cor~
respondent says that Messrs. O'REr.LY and
SPEED have addressed letter to Gov. I. L.
STEVENS, delegate from Washington Terri
tory, proposing to construct line of tele-
graph from st. Paul, Minnesota, to Puget's
Sound, within two years, without any other
aid from government except the simple right
of way. They assert that the line can be
built for 100000.

Senator Wilkinson "Stumped."

Senator WILKINSON in his speech on the
homestead bill, paid glowing eulogy upon
the services rendered this government by
foreigners, in peace and in war. 1t was
eloquent and just. W1GFALL, the cratic
and witty Senator from Texas, complimented
WILKINSON upon it, in the following terms !:
The Senator from Minnesota delivered a eu-
logy on foreigners. He must have been an old
Democrat, and fought the Know Nothings. |
do not know. If he was, he is on the wrong
side of the Chamber. But should judge, from
the eulogies he delivered in reference to the
foreigners who had carried our f1ag-fOr he
spoke with degree of enthusiasm with which
l used to speak of that class when Know Moth
ingism was war; ng upon Democracy-that he
was with us then. / do not kno,O ,Ohether the
Senator ,cas one of us then or not. He DOES NOT
ANSWER.
of course, Mr.. WILKINSON did not
answer. In 1854, when Know Nothingism
swept with irresistible force, the northern
States-when it was political death to a
public man to defend the foreigner in the
enjoyment of rights guaranteed by the laws
and the Constitution-when the Democratic
party lost State after State in its vain at
tempt to successfully combat the tide of ia
naticism and proscription-at that time,
Senator WILKINSON delivered no eulogies
upon foreign born citizens his voice was
not raised in defence of their rights, or his
vote and influence exerted to shield them
from persecution. In 1854, the Senator's
great love for foreigners, did not prevent him
from aiding in the formation of a Know
Nothing Lodge in st. Paul. He was then
pledged to carry out all the doctrines of that
secret and dangerous organization. Now,
however, Senator WILKINSON recants. He
even taunts with desire to inflct injustice
upon foreigners, the very men who, in the
great contest of 1854, maintained their
rights, at the sacrifice of their political exis-
tence.
We shall next hear of WILSON and
BANKS, of Massachusetts,, NED BUNTL1NE,
of New York, and others of like antece-
dents, boasting of their great love for the
foreign born. 1t would come with as
much propriety from them as from MORTON
S. WILKINSON.

A GENTLEMAN has arrived at Washington
from Brownsville, Texas, whose statements
corroborate those heretofore received in re-

there is no doubt but that CoRTINAs is up
held and sustained in his operations by
Mexicans who profess to be friendly to the
United States. United States forces had
determined to put an end to his depreda-
tons, and to accomplish this nothing short
of capturing him would effect it. The
troops had accordingly, on invitation of
some friendly Mexicans, crossed the Rio
Grande into Mexican territory with the in
tention of pursuing him, ard, if possible,
capturing him. The next intelligence from
there will probably announce his capture.

TRUE.-The South Carolinian is slightly
disguised with the ridiculous assertions of
the Charleston Mercury as to the popular
feeling of the State toward the National
Democratic Convention. 1t says The
revolution that has and is taking place in
South Carolina is lost upon it and until it
is itself revolutionized, or struck by spe>
cial light from heaven, it will not be good
authority as to what transpires in this gen.
Grafton" That is just our opinion, and it
accounts for the Mercury being such bitter
opponent of DOUGLAS.

Virginia Speaks to Iowa and Ohio

The joint special committee of the Legis-
lature of Virginia, on the action of the
Governors of Ohio and Iowa, in refusing to
surrender BARCLAY CoPP1c, FRANCIS MER-
RAM, and OWEN Brown, upon the requisi-
ton of Governor LETCHER, has been pre-.
sented to both Houses. After long review
of the cases in hand, the report concludes
with resolution setting forth that the
states Of Iowa and Ohio, in refusing to
deliver up to justice CoPP1c, BROWN and
MERRIAM, charged with, and known to have
committed crimes in Virginia of the highest
magnitude, have "wilfully and deliberately
violated the federal compact, disregarding
the comfy which should exist between SOW
ereign states, and justly made themselves
morally, if not legally, accessories to the
crimes committed by these criminals and
fugitives from justice"

Light Wanted.

Major Brown will certainly have to en-
ploy new editor. His present representa-.
tive grows more rusty. For instance, last
week, he said: -. ~
The PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT continues to as.
sert that the Maryland delegation to Charles
ton will vote for Douglas when the Maryland
Democratic papers, without exception, declare
that all the delegation are decidedly anti
Douglas. Is the PIONEER published to dissem.
mate intelligence or to deceive the people!
We are too happy to answer that it is
our province to disseminate intelligence"
The Baltimore Dispatch Baltimore is in
Maryland, and the Dispatch is Democratic
journaD in summing up the proceedings of
the district conventions to elect delegates,
states "that majority of the votes of
Maryland at Charleston will, upon the first
ballot, be cast for Mr.. DOUGLAS; )" and that
his friends have been elected in four out of
the six congressional districts Of the state.
Further,cwe received a private letter some
days since from Senator HALL, of this city,
now on visit to Maryland, in which he
stated, from personal knowledge of the
delegates elected, that Mr.. DOUGLAS would
have majority of the delegation from that
state. The stupid laundering of the Demo.
erat will ipjure Major Browns reputation
for shrewdness, unless the Major curbs his
editor. Every week that interesting journal
heralds to the country, column after column
in praise of Gen. JOE LANES popularity,
his virtues, and the certainty of his nomi-
nation at Charleston. Yet Gen. LANE is
not sure of the vote of single state. The
attempt to instruct even the Oregon dele
gates for him, caused division in the
Democratic party of that state. But how
is it with DOUGLAS, who is derided as
unpopular by the Henderson editor? The
Democracy of the Northwestern states
with 100000 Democratic voters - have
unanimously instructed their delegates to
Charleston to support DOUGLAS for the
nomination. This gives him 70 votes to
start with, and with the other votes he is
certain to receive, will insure the Little
Giant a majority of the Convention on the
first ballot. 1t is merely out of friendship
for the Major that we mention these facts,
which are patent to every wellinformed pol
itician in the State.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-About rs border
State Congressman met in caucus last
night. Senator Crittenden presided, and
Messrs. ColfhX and Barrett were the Score
taries. The following propositions were
offered
By Mr.. Barrett, eleven amendments to
ton.
By Mr.. Pryor, that any attempt to pre-
confederncy, by force, would be equally
unconstitutional, impolitic and destructive
of republican liberty.
BY Mr.. Vallandigham, the Crittenden
| resolutions.
BY Mr.. Colf,x, that the laws of the
Union should be enforced and the Union
| of the States maintained, and that it is the
duty of the Executive to protect the pro-
perty of the United Stntes with all the
power placed in his hands by the Consti-
tuition.
BY Mr.. Morris, of ILL.,, that in maturing
any plan for the adjustment of difficulties,
we will keep steadily in view the preserya-
ton of the Union under the Constitution,
as paramount consideration.
After desultory debate, in which
Messrs. Cox, Pryor, Smith, of Va, Glenn
ems, Sherman, Stounton, Colhx, Noel,
AtANN'H''HI montgomery hSSleTnnnQ, tlar-
ris, of Va, and Harris, OF Md, partici-
pated, all the pending propositions were.
on motion of the latter gentleman, refer
red to n committee of one from each of
the fourteen States represented, TO report
at future meeting to be called by them,
if they agreed. Adjourned.
The Secretary of the Treasury has re-
fused to accept any of the bids for the late
Eve million loan. which demand more
| than II per centum interest. Thus less
than two millions are accepted, an amount
about sufficient, it is said, TO pay interest
on The public debt due on the LIST of jan
| uary.
As it was never stipulated or agreed to
by The President that the troops should be
withdrawn from the forts in Charleston
harbor. The administration does not con.
slider that it is under any obligation to do
so. As to the request of the Commission
ers for the restoration of the military sta
tus, that is considered by the large por-
ton of the Cabinet as impossible.
Secretaries Floyd, Thompson and Thorn
us, who hold the constitutional right of
secession, were separated on the South
Carolina question, from their Cabinet as
sociates. There was no positive decision
at the meeting to-day, although the pros
pect is certainly not favorable TO the
Commissioners, and this statement is
strengthened by the fact that Secretary
Floyd to-day resigned his Office.
1t is said that Secretary Thompson would
also have resigned were it not that the
investigation is pending concerning the
fairs of the Interior Department in con-
nection with the abstraction of the Indian
Trust bonds, an investigation of which he
asked for the vindication of his honor and
integrity.
The report prevails that the Secretary
of the Treasury, Thomas, has resigned
but this results from his INDIGESTION rs to
whether he shall remain in the Cabinet
and his generally believed earnest sympa-
thy with Secretary Floyd

South Carolina Convention.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 29.-After the usual
preliminaries, the President read a COM
mnmication from w F. Calloek, Collector
of the port of Charleston, informing the
Convention that all the officers of the
customs had entered tue service of tue
State. he also states that he had COM
menced receiving duties and transactiug
other business.
Mr.. Dunkin said that the act of Congress
requires the payment of duties in specie,
but as the act of the Legislature, recently
passed, permitted the banks to suspend
specie here is selling at per cent premi-
um. 1t was therefore unfair to require the
payment of dnties in Specie when the
State taxes are payable in bank notes.
MIR. DuDkin offered resolution that the
Collectors of the State be authorized to
receive duties in the bills of the State
banks.
Mr.. Masseyck said that if necessary the
banks might increase their circulation so
as to render any embarrassment impossi-
BILE.
a motion to refer the resolution to the
Committee on Commercial relations was
lost.
The President received communication
from the Governor, through Mr.. T. Watts,
in relation to the harbor.
The Convention then went into secret
session. tits understood that the Military
bill is under consideration.

ST.. Louis, Dec. 29.-The Republican an
nOunces the receipt of letter dated at
Chicago, on the 18th, addressed to the
Commandant of the United Suites Arsenal
at ST. Louis, which details tue proceedings
OF Republican meeting for the purpose
of hiding the Kansas sufferers. 1t then
gives an account of n secret meeting of
ten persons, during which committee of
three was called on to report what assis-
lance had been sent Montgomery, and
what had been done in St. Louis. The
plan, developed, was to take possession of
the United States Arsenal in ST. Louis;
also Jefferson Barracks, and to remove ali
the property to Kansas. The committee
reported that five thousand dollars worth
of arms hHd been sent to Montgomery,
and ten thousand dollars had been depos
tied with the committee ut st. Louis
That they had delayed movements at ST.
louis on account of there being from
three to fonr hundred guns coming from
Kentucky for repairs, fact of which no
one was supposed TO have any knowledge
and that they would make quite an addi-
ton to their stock if captured. The letter
says they expected assistance from large
number of Germans residing in the neigh
borbood of the Arsenal, and most of the
workmen in the Arsenal One hundred
men were to be sent from Chicago, in this
enterprise. Many other details arc given.
disclosing great familiarity with the inter
nal arrangements of the Arsenal.
