The st. Louis Democrat, speaking of the
probabilities Of foreign Intervention, SAYS:
"The delusion has passed, and any ex.
pectatiou of Britain obtaining a pound Of
cotton by any amount of interference is now
hopeless, and among the things of the past.
Yet secession emissaries, abroad as we'll AZ
at home, are active, knowing and using to-
to the extent of their ability the power Of
the " free press" to inflame the minds or
excite the fears of the mass of the people,
in all countries that rely upon newspapers
for their current information.
"But the motive which they have here.
tofore assigned for British interference
having been 'played OUT they have easily
devised another pretext as to whv Great
Britain should do that which self-preserva.
tion did not compel her to, amp that is now
said to be jealousy of our national power,
no more.
Let US keep cool on this point. That
this motive exists and has been secretly
used in promoting the unhappy division in
our country cannot be controverted: but
lei US consider the consequence of her
active and open interference.
Here comes the point-War. Dares
Britain 60 to war with US? Has she count
ed the cost? Does she expect to get cotton
by war? Will she increase the market for
her manufactures on which her labor de.
pends? Will she increase the food for her
starving population? Will she maintain
her naval supremacy Will not her COM
merce and commercial wealth, and with it
her money power be annihilated? Will
she not sacrifice the large debt due from
this country? Will she not lose her pos
sessions on this continent? Will she not
have an Irish as well as servile rebellion
Will not her star of nationality have
eliminated
"And what shall We have?
"We shall manufacture our own wares
and fabrics, and thus give employment to
every cent of capital aud labor in the land; ;
the forges now closed by the ruinous COM
petition of English iron mongers would
glow again as if by magic; driven BY
necessity, the wonderful genius of our peo-
pie would be found equal to the task Of
supplying all the needs Of higa civilization,
so that we should come out Of the contest
skilled in labor, and Independent of the
workshops Of Europe; and, in short, We
shall develop the enormous power and
resources with which bountiful Providence
has favored our country and people, that
shall make US the FIRST nation on earth.
"The experience of the past year has
taught US second independence of Great
Britain let not the lessen be overlooked;
we have learned our military power and
financial independence, and, yet We have
learned only part of what is in store for US;
for the imagination can hardly picture tho
independents and power We shall reali1e
from the Development of our own se~
sources"

from the War Department, based on a not

D@- The Northwester, a Canadian paper
published at Red River, is out in favor Of
annexation with the United States. It says
that Great Britain shows perfect indifference
to the settlement, and it enjoys none Of the
commercial or governmental advantages it
has right to expect and on the other
hand, American influences of every kind
are operating upon it.

AN INDIAN BATTLE,

We learn from settlers in the vicinity that
quite fierce Indian battle took place on
the Elk Horn branch Of the Little Blue
river, on Thursday of last week, between
the Pawnees and Otoes on one side, and a
war party of the Cheyennes and Kiowas on
the other. Of course, the Chcyennes and
Kiowas we're the aggressors. They we're
badly beaten, and driven by the conquerors
across the Republican and far up the Solo
mon. We have learned that sixty were
killed, but have nothing definite, as both
parties seem to have excluded "specials +"
from their "lines." From q hunter who
passed over the battlefield two days after
the fight we learn that the ground was
strewn with robes, blankets, saddles, moe
casins, bows, arrows, and other Indian traps,
which victors and vanquished appear to
have been in too great haste to take along.

sQUATTERs, LOOK TO YOUR CLAIMS


Mr.. Denman, the agent of Gov. Robinson.
last week concluded the selection of lands
in this District, to which the State is en-
titled under the various congressional
enactments. The amount taken in this
District, including the Salt Spring lands
selected in January last, we learn from the
Register, exceeds Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Acres. They are generally upon,
or near, the Republican, Solomon, and the
Saline, with some fow south of the Smoky,
and on the Big and Little Blues. 1t will
be seen by a notice which We publish in
another column, that all the lands not taken
on the "probab:e route" of the Pacific Rail
Road, namely: the lands for thirty miles
along the Kansas and Republican rivers,
have been withdrawn from presumption,
private entry, and sale, by the lands for
the benefit of the Rail Road Company. We
have no doubt but that among the lands
thus selected .and withdrawn, are many
quarter sections upon which there are set
tiers who have not yet fled their declara-
tion to pre-empt them. All such can yet
save their " claims" by promptly filing
upon them, and we advise them by all
means to do so.
We regret that the Commissioner of the
General Land Office has deemed it his duty,
under the Pacific Railroad Bill, to withdraw
all the lands along the "probable route" Of
the Road from pre-emption and settlement.
By the tcrms of the Bill, the Company will
be entitled to the sections described by odd
numbers, for ten miles on each side of the
road, whenever tho same we're untaken or
unclaimed. Under no circumstances has
the Company right to the even numbered
sections, nor is the price of such sections
increased. The object, as We understand
it, of putting the bill in that shape was to
secure the arabic lands along the route of
the road, thing, if not essential, is at leas:
important to the speedy building of the
road This object, however, seems to be
in fair way of being defeated by the Com
missioner, and the settlement Of very
important part of our State arrested for the
next two or three years, and indeed for an
indefinite period. We trust the Commis-
sioner will reconsider his action, and at
once restore the even sections to settlement
Their withdrawal can be of no earthly ben
eft, either to the Railroad Company or the
Government, whilst it will be great dam-
age to the country along the route of the
road, to the Railroad itself, and to the State

THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

The session of Congress which has just
closed, says the Oneida, (N. Y, HERALD, is the
most remarkable since the first Congress under
with oil powers necessary to the vigorous
prosecution of the war. 1t has furnished
money without stint. 1t has empowered hin
TO call out the entire militia of the country
and to employ persons of African descent il
any capacity he may think proper. 1t hs.
armed him with all the terrors of confscation
1t has, in short, authorized him to employ tht
entire resources Of the country, all its men, al
its money, all its eugineery Of war Of every
nature for the suppression of the Rebellion
Congress has done this, and its members have
returned to their homes, to concentrate popu
lar sentiment and popular effort in an irresist
able uprising in behalf of the Republic.
No body ever confronted more serious duties;
none ever rested under graver responsibilities
1t has grar Piled with the most profound ques-
tons which can be submitted tc q legislature,
and has weighed measures involving principles
cardinal and far-reaching, and interests con.
cerning this continent alone, but literally all
Christendom. In finance, it has had to estab-
lish policy, and to provide for expenditures
reaching the enormous aggregate of eight
hundred millions. The ever recurring problem
Of liberty and slavery has been forced upon il
by exigencies which would not brook delay, in
form most troublesome and perplexing. Ii
has had to bear the burden Of o war of the first
magnitude-a war Of ideas in which with sim
gular blindness one party refuses to accept the
natural strength which its position gives
With principles the most profound and grand,
with measures the most important and decisive.
with exigencies the most pressing, with dangers
the most formidable, it has had to deal from the
beginning to the close.
Because of it's position in the midst of this
bloody crisis, this session of Congress will be
memorable. Its debates will constitute endur.
ing chapters in the nations history. The
subjects. the time aud the forum, will he n
passport to immortality. The speakers have
not spoken for themselves alone; they have
uttered on the one side and the other the
opinions which in years to come viii be taken
"a indices Of the sentiment and conscience of
our days. There has been bold talk, and there
have been quibbling and pestifogging. Princi-
pies have contended. and men have sought to
blind the world to the fact. But the general
tone Of the debates has been frank and search
ing. Hereafter. better than to-day, proper
estimate win be placed upon the talent ex'
hibited.
The country, in its sober, second thought
viii have little patience with the thoughtless
crew who have habitually denounced Congress,
and will rather accept the declaration Of the
Chaplain of the Senate, who, in the closing
hours, thanked God that ''the American people
we're indebted to this Congress for some Of the
noblest enaetmcnts that ever adorned the Re
public"

The above call, although not suiting us
exactly, lays down o platform of principles
broad enough for every loyal man the length
and breadth of the State. And we are inclined
to the belief that minority Of those Democrats
for whom we had hoped to see some token Of
recognition, will accept it as their faith, and
work zealously with US for its ascendancy. We
SO assert upon the supposition that the Con.
vention will put none but thorough Republicans
in nomination but if, as is yet hoped by
some, the Convention will act liberal and fair
with all who can "act under the above call" +"
we shall receive such aid from the Democratic
ranks as will make the ticket irresistible. As
it is, though, it is but precursor to success,
and the disinthrallment of our State.
In the campaign which is just opening. We
shall have mean and reckless foe to contend
with, and the honest, loyal men Of the State
must be up and uoing. A vigilance never
before necessary will be required in the coming
selection OF rulers. But one motive must
actuate the people-an undying determination
to stand by the Government in its present
struggle, aud the selection of OF MEN THAT
