The BURCH DIvoRcE CAsE.-This case is
still before the courts, on motion for new trial.
The former one only cost $4,000, instead Of
100000, as reported, and Mr.. Busch has since
realized that amount in one speculation alone.
The parties, so far from living together again,

MYSTERIOUS AssAssINArIoRs.-Ea Early on

Burns, lad Of seventeen, was shot dead.

The INDIAN Trust FuNDs.-Gen. Spinner,
the new United States Treasurer, upon inspect
ing the bonds and securities in trust for the
Chickasaws, has discovered that some of the
securities belonging to this trust fund have been
withdrawn in whole or in part, and replaced,
sometimes by the same, and at other times by
other securities. The suspicion is that they
were used to speculate with; $66,G66.66 Of
Tennessee bonds we're so withdrawn on the 3lst
Of January, 1855, and have never been replaced
in kind or by others. The Treasurer has sug.
gested, in letter to Secretary Chase, the pro.
priety Of asking Congress to sell these securi.
ties, place the money accruing from such sales
in the national treasury, issue therefor single
Government bond for the amount Of the entire
trust, and have the interest on the same for
the payment on the annuities provided for an.
nually in the Indian appropriation bill. Many
of the securities are coupon bonds, and are
transferable Of delivery, and are therefore sub.
ject to the danger Of being purloined, convert.
ed, and lost to the fund, or to the Government.
To guard against this, Mr.. Spinner, the Treas
urer, asks permission Of the Secretary to stamp
on the face of all these securities the words:
Held by the United States in trust for the
Chickasaws."-N T. World.

FORT PICKENS.

Judge Douglas is in favor Of giving up Fort
Pickens, but processes 10 be in favor of bold.
ing on to Key West and Tortugas. How long
he would remain Of this last opinion, nobody
knows, but probably not long after he had per-
suaded the Government TO give up Fort Pick
ems.
The distinction which he attempts to make
in the two cases, as given in his own words in
the Senate on Monday, is as follows:
at may be supposed, perhaps, that Key
West and Tortugas, or Forts Taylor and Jetier.
son, as they are called in the War Department,
are within the limits of the Confederate States |;
but that is entirely mistake. The Confed-
erate States, being q revolutionary Govern.
ment, hold whatever they actually occupy, and
no more. Revolution takes nothing by impli.
cation and inasmuch es the Confederate
States have never been in possession OF Key
West or Tortugas, it cannot be said that those
places are within the limits of the Confederate
States under the revolutionary Government.
Besides, those tN places are national fortihca.
tions, built for general defence-forti6catio
in which the commerce Of Maine has thou.
sand fold more interest than that of Florida.
Those are places that we should hold under all
circumstances, whether the cotton States
should be restored to US, or whether they shall
be permanently separated from u.s."
If revolution takes nothing by implication,
it has never taken Fort Pickens, which is on
an island, from the possession Of which the
United States have never been ousted.
1t was for national objects that the harbor
of Pensacola was acquired in the purchase Of
the Floridas. 1t has been for national objects
that it has been fortified at a vast expense. 1t
is the only naval harbor on the Gulf and high
national policy requires that it should be held
The same reasons apply to it which apply to
Key West and Tortugas.
1t was the doctrine of the Democratic party,
that Cuba was so essential to US that We should
be justified in making war for its acquisition,
if Spain refused to sell it. The Floridas are
more essential to US than Cuba ever was aud
while the morality of seizng what belongs to
others may be doubtful, the justice of holding
on to what is our own by fair puschase, is not
doubtful at all. This question is not to be of.
fected by the wishes of the handful of people
in Florida. 1t is simply question, whether
Georgia and Alabama and South Carolina
have better right to Florida, than the Uni.
ted States. Judge Douglas thinks they have,
so far at least as Pensacola is concerned but
we doubt much if the country will agree with
him.

CONCORD, N H, May A, 1s61.--It is
proper that the position of every man and
every political press should be known
We have no hesitancy in defining ours.
While we acknowledge the duty Of all
allegiance and fidelity to the Government
Of our country, by whomsoever adminis-
tered, we are against coercion. We are
for peace. The South, which, in this
scandalous civil war will include every
slaveholding State, cannot be re-conquer-
ed. Her sons may be defeated, her fields
laid waist; but they will not then be con-
quered IF defeated, they will fee to their
mountain fastnesses and their merasses
and still carry on the war. until ultimately
their invaders will be driven from their
soil. They never will be conquered
Then why make war upon them? Why
sacrifice Thousands of precious lives and
hundreds of millions of money, when in.
the end it will avail nothing?
Ne, let every true pa triot in the land
Republican, Whig, or Demoorat--demand
that this fratricidal strife shall cease. Let
our Southern brethren go, if they cannot
remain with us except by coercion at tho
point of the bayonet and the cannon's
mouth.
We are for the peace policy. When
our land is filed with widows and orph-
ans, and our homes draped with mourning,
as they will be in two short years, and We
then find our brothers Of the same race
still unconquered, all will be for peace
Then why not make it now before all these
tremendous sacrifices have been made.
We are for our country, or what remains
of it. We are FOR It's brilliant ana glori-
Gus emblem---the stars and stripes. Its
glory should never be bedimmed by bath

are for na.ataining the glory Of the flag,
on the soil of our own country. We are
not for the invasion Of tho South. We
are for the defense of the North. If eur
brethren Of the South invade the North
we aIe for rspsliing them. We are for
defending the city Of Washington until
Maryland shall secede AS long as that
State shall remain in the Northern Union,
we are for defending the integrity Of her
soil, and that embraces the city OF Wash
ington. II she secedes, it will be useless
even to defend Washington.
Such is eur position. And this should
be the position Of the Democracy OF the

their position, but that of hundreds OF

shall have been prosecuted two years.
