tightening up the walls OF Sumter
against the lurid heavens. 1t is rumored
that the fire was the work of an incen-
diary in the person of a negro. and that a
slave insurrection was in progress. and
that the plot was disclosed by the body
servant of a military officer This
rumor spread the greatest constel nation
throughout the city, and families sough,
refuge within their houses. closing and
barring the doors and windows, and tax
ing every available precaution. 1t is
ais" rnmored that the slaves are rising in
The interior OF the State, according 10 a
prr"onceried plan, in a general insur
rection. The dispatches also state that
thousands of people were in the street,
houseless and destitute. and supplies
were being sent from the surrounding
country for their relief.
Herald Special The President has
received no official information from
England relative TO the Mason ard Slidell
affair.
The Cabinet has been in session for
several hours to-day. during which our
difficulty with England was discussed
with grea' camness and firmness. what
ever the demands from England may be-
and the English news paper buster is
not taken as any true indication of the
intention OF that government. our gov
ernmen' has resolved that Mason and
S'idell shall never be given up this may
be relied upon AS a fixed fact The
impression is that England would make
demand for the release Of The rebels
seized, but that a lengthy correspon-
dence would settle the matter without a
war.
The rumors ola messenger arriving
poste haste with dispatches for Lord
Lyons are false !; no ulimaum from the
English Government in regard to Sldell
and Mason is expected at the beginning
OF diplomatic correspondence.
Secretary Seward this morning gave
II as his opinion that no foreign collision
would take place. The remark was
made in conversation with distinru
ished Englishman.
This mail brings Intelligence of hor-
rh'e massacre at Fort Stanton. On the
approach of The Texans to that post in
the Summer, all the citizens in the yicin.
nv fled To the settlements leaving their
homes crops and everything else behind,
after the Texans abandoned the place.
The Apache Indians took possession and
had command of all the country around.

Ey- A base and malicious report has
been circulated that Col. VANDEvER, our
excellent representative in Congress had
returned some fugitive slaves TO thai
brotherhood OF thieves who are now in
rebellion against this government, he in
dignantly denies i, in a note, written to
the Editor of the Dubuque Times, from
which We make the following extract:
1t is but one of many lying rumors
put in circulation by evil disposed per,
sons, and perhaps | ought to treat this
silently AS | have others OF singular
character. Not. however, in the vindi
cation of myself, but in justice To the
generous constituency | here represent,
| must refute the Islander.

hare returned, and, God hetping, neyer
wiN return 10 Slavery a fleeing .fugitire
| would submit To be cashi-red or shot
rather than perform SO mental an Office
If thought by engaging in this war for
the vindcation Of our Constitution and
our flag, the office of slave catcher was To
be superadded 10 the duty of soldier,
would spurn the service with scorn and
contempt.
The rebel government is fighting in
the interest Of slavery. never will
fight on th&t side under any flag. In ut
tering these words am confident that
but echo the sentiments of the brave men
whom | have the honor to command and
The people that | represent. Print the

for paving losses, and no claims against the

now offers the only chance for the people of
Iowa to insure in a safe and responsible Com
pany at home
In presenting our claims to the people of To-
wa. we deem it Il duty, at the same time, to
caution them agains. the many counterfeit and
wildcat companies that are sending out agents
over the State for no other purpose than to
swindle every person that may be credulous
enough to do business with them
The certificate of the Secretary of State. at

the only
LEGALLY ORGANIZED COMPANY

is crime punishable by fine or Imprisonment
for any company to do business in violation of
our laws yet there are many pretended COM
panies in our own State, as well as in other
States that are in direct violation of law,
swindlng the people of Iowa out of thousands
of dollars annually with perfect impunity.
