8®* In the Journal of this week, its correspondent, "Union," frankly admits the charge of Mr. Wilson's dcbauchcry, but thinks that ho should be forgiven, inasmuch as it is impossible to find a candidate who can show a pure tcmpcranco record. This is undoubtedly flattering to such aspirants us Dr. T. W. Fry and John Beard. What a pity these ardent disciplca of negro cqualitv arc uuablc to show a clcan reeo'rd of their sobriety. Now, personally, we have no ill-feeling towards Mr. Wilson, and nhould never have troubled ourselves about his temperance antecedents, had not Mr. Kecney, of the Journal, made a personal attack upon us, charging us falsely with lying mound groceries. Wc thought if the tempernncc question was again to be made a hobby of by the abolition organ of this county, and the Democracy charged with being the whisky party, it was no more than right anil proper that wc should show up its iuconsistcncy. So far as the Democratic party is concerned, it is their desire that Wilson should be re-nominated, and if

he has ngain actually reformed, it is the duty of his party, if possible, to send him back. It is not our intention to commence any personal attacks upon him, and for what has been said, he can thank Dr. Fry & Co., of the Journal, whose personal attacks upon us were undoubtedly made for the purpose of provoking a retaliation upon a competitor for rc-olcction.

jSrllcreaftor wc do not intend to resort to personalities, and should not at this time, had wc not been provoked by our uneasy neighbor across the way. We believe it to be disreputable in the extreme, and while we plead guilty, wc are resolved to quit it entirely. If wc canuot discuss political, or other subjects, with acotemporary in a gentlemanly and dignified manner, wc shall avoid all notice of him. The duty wc owe to our readers as a journalist, and a proper respect for ourselves, renders this course imperative.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. The convention for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress, for the eighth district, and also a Prosecuting Attorney for the Common Pleas district of Montgomery and Boone comities, will, as our readers arc aware, assemble at Lebanon ou nest Thursday. It is generally conccded that Judge BLAKE, of Clintou, will be the nominee for Congress, while, as to a Prosecuting Attorney 110 names have, so far as we have been able to learn, been mentioned for that position. We would therefore suggest to the delegates to the convention the propriety of select ing some one from this county as the re cipicnt of that office. We might urge as a reason for this step that since the Congressional candidate will not bo taken from our raidst, and since Boone has at present the Common Pleas Judge and the Prosecuting Attorney, it would be no more than just and equitable that Montgomery should have the selection of this latter officc.— What say the delegates as to this.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.—The May number of Blackwood has been received. Its tabic of coutcnts is as follows Food and Drink—Part III. What will Ho Do with it?—By Pisistratus Caxton—Part XII. Antiquities of Kertch Colleges and .Celibacy—A Dialogue Zanzibar and two Months in East Africa—Conclusion The Poorbeath Mutiny—The Punjab—No HE. Italy—Of the Arts the Cradle and the Grave Oude.

AFRICA BELLIGERENT.—Last evening about 7£ o'clock, our unusually quiet town was fearfully disturbed by the cry of fight, fight, which proceeded from the Court House yard. In a few moments hundreds of our citizens were on the spot, witnessing one of the grandest pugilistic encounters that ever graccd the arena of modern fistiana. The combatants were a lusty African, by the name of James Burton, and a white man. For a moment they gazed upon cach other with a scowl more malignant than ever knit the brow of Satan.— Piercing glances darted like the lightning from their large and luminous orbs, and the terrified spectators knew that in another moment they should behold the shock of battle. It camc, and, with the fury of a tempest, they rnshed to the combat.—

Africa led off beautifully, striking right and left, while his adversary maintained a dogged obstinacy, occasionally bringing his facc into collision with Africa's knucks.— For a long time victory hung in the scales the Saxon, by a spasmodic effort, grasped the white choker thai cncircled the swanlike neck of his foe, and taking a quick turn, compelled his adversary to show about eleven and a half inches of tongue, when the black Achilles gathering himself for one last and mighty effort, charged with head downwards, striking great Agamemnon in the vicinity of his bread basket, thereby placing him "/toss du combat." The conqueror, while flushing with victory, was seized by a powerful police force, consisting of two constables and a squad of assistants, and quickly taken to Esquire Purscl's officc, where his honor in consideration of his being the victor, fined him one dollar and costs, with the privilege to wear the belt. Burton is a Douglas Fremont Democrat.

The Journal of this week devotes

nearly a column to our benefit. Wc can imagine the broad griti that must have played upon Bughum's countenance when he penned the article, which by the way is a singular compound of nonsense the article must have been in a pied state when printed, or Bughum must have been writing against time. Wc select the two following sentences to show the mighty concentration of thought that swelled his bagpillion brain when "he rit:" "True to his friends while lie can use them—stabbing them coward-like when they havo 110 chanoc of dofcnco. A Judas, —a traitor, he knows no friend longor than he can use him to hia own personal advantage." "A stool-pigeon, a cat's paw for smarter men a man of straw, taking upon himself the sins which others commit."

(!©*Lewis D. Campbell, of the Butler district, Ohio, who was voted out of his scat in Congress a few days ago, and Vallandingham voted in, has announoed his intention of being a candidate for re-elec-tion. His majority, negro votes included, at the last election, was 19. It was the negro vote that lost him his scat negroes not being regarded as citizens.

flSPThc communication which appeared in the Review, signed "Republican," last week, was written by a prominent Republican of this place. In justice to Mr. Bryant, we would state that ho is not the author.

BSfThc Pedro of the Journal, talks flippantly of Burk's docket. If he will examine Squire Snyder's docket, he will find that he lives in a glass house The poor fellow has forgot the capis issued for his carcass.

Jure, talks heroically of his fighting

qualities, and intimates that he would like to exercise on us before breakfast. From the manner in which old Squire Burk, Sen., booted him out of his store some years ago, one would suppose that he was as valorous as Mars. However, he may have grown braver since, as we understand that he has been feeding himself ou sheepplucks and rooster's gizzards. If he has any disposition to try a hand on us, lie has onl}' to notify us of time and place. We'll be t-har. Remember, pistols and coffee for two, Jcrc.

PERSONAL.—Wc notice that our fellowtowusman, STEPHEN BECK, Esq., has returned from his visit to Cincinnati. His health is greatly improved, and he now looks as fresh and blooming as the rose of Sharon. Long may he wave.

86T*Thc Martinsville Gazette says that the rain has raised White river again, and overflowed all the bottoms. The prospect for the next crop begins to look "blue."— The Gazette says:

Our farmers are getting down in the mouth. Hardly any corn has yet been planted on the river bottoms, and the prospect for planting, for some considerable time, is by no means flattering. The little corn put in the first of the mouth, together with the oats, may be set down as almost a total ioss, having been pretty generally washed out.

8©"The Vincennes Gazette, speaking of the fine "sea view" to be enjoyed from the belfry of the Cathedral in that city, at the present time, says: "Westward and Southward, we have "Water, water, evorywhero." as far as the eye can reach. Beautiful farms on both prairies—homes and playgrounds—are all submerged. The plowman has fled before the devastating flood and home, with its garden and fields, is deserted and silent, save the murmur of the waters. It is indeed a saddening sight to see so many hundreds of fields all laid waste. It is thirty years since there has been such an overflow as the present.— May it be msny years before the like returns again.

MURDER OF W. A. STILWELL. Our citizens will be pained to learn that this gentleman was brutally murdered In KatiEafl Territory a few day®

Bince'

band of armed men who were in search of the notorious Capt. Montgomery, who, it will be recollected, bas been "engaged for the last six weeks in plundering and driving from their homes the settlers from Missouri. The men who shot Mr. Stilwell are said to have been among the sufferers of Montgomery's depredations, and Mr. S. unfortunately was mistaken for one of thi3 freebooter's band. In the civil war now prevailing in Kanzaa no man is safe. Below we give a letter from the wife of the deceased, also one from Dr. Hamilton, who was charged with the murder:

SUGAR MOUND, May 21, 1858.

3IY DEAR MOTHER: You will be surprised to learn that I am a widow. 0, how can I bear it, but you shall know the whole truth. My husband started on the 19th of May, to Kansas City, for a load— the Missourians camc upon him, took him and 11 other Free State men prisoners, but carried them to a ravine near the Trading Post, (there being 20 or more of them) and ordered them to stand in file and then shot them down. My husband and four others were killed on the spot six were it is thought, mortally wounded, and one was not hurt. Companies of free state men have organized all over the Territory, and are giving chase to the murderers. For further particulars please look to the papers. Please send this immediately to my Brother-in-law, F. M. Black. I am weak, not able to be up, but will write as soon as I am able to get up. The children arc well. MARY J. STILWELL.

A Card from Capt. Hamilton. Sr. Louis, May 28, 1858. EDITOR REPUBLICAN: In the Democrat of to-day I notice an extract from the Lawrence Republican, in which it is stated that, in the fight which occurred at Snyder's in Linn county, Kanzas, on the 19th inst., a Mr. William Stillwcll, of Sugar Mound, who was a Free

MOSOJI,

was shot

and killed by Dr. Hamilton, another Free Mason, and that lie was shot with a double barrel gun, charged luit/i pistol balls. As I am the Free Mason above alluded to, who committed this outrage, I beg you to allow me the privilege of your columns for a brief explanation. For some time previous to this fight, I had been at my brother's house, helping him to guar'], ai: finally to remove his property and family out of the, reach of Montgomery and his robbers.— My brother removed his family and his valuable property into Missouri, and the next day Montgomery's band plundered the house of what was left. Ou the day of tho fight at Snyder's I wan there, and engaged in the fight, I did ml that, there was any such a man as Mr, Stllwcil in the opposing party. I did not know from the least sign, token or indication whatever that thero was a Free Mason in tho party but one thing I do know if Mr. Stilwoll was killed with a double-bar-rel gun, I did not shoot him for all the shooting I did was with a Sharpe's rifle.— There were only two Sharpe's rifles in the company. I am freo to acknowledge that I used my rifle to the best cf my skill, and hope that it did execution, as I was in sight of my brother's house at the time the difficulty ocourred.

I make this statement to show the fraternity that this statement of the Lawrence Republican is a mistake.

GEO. P. HAMILTON.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM THE MICHIGAN STATU PRISON.—The Detroit Free Press giveg^ the particulars of the oscape from the State Prison, a few nights since, of a negro man named Dae, formerly of Detroit. Ho was a desperate villian and so dangerous that he was confined in a "life cell," and heavily shackled with irons. It would seem that the cell is so constructed as to screen tho occupant from the observation of the keepers. The irons he cut off by some means, and then dug through the stone walls of his cell, beuding and breaking heavy iron plato«, and moving stones of upwards of a hundred weight. Having accomplished this herculean feat without detection, lie constructed a lantern from a tin can which he had in his cell and went into the workhops and selected an iron weapon, with which he no doubt intended to knock out the brains of any one who opposed him. He also found materials, from which he constructed a sort of ladder, with which lie scaled the walls. He then stole a horse worth $200 belonging to one of the attaches of the prison and made off. He left his prison clothes ill the yard, having, it is thought rondc new clothes from the blankets which he had in his cell. He was tracked ten miles, his -flight having been discovered about three hours after it occurred, and was then lost.

CORN PLANTING.—It is now the* 29th day of May, and scarcely any corn planted in all the county. Farmers are inquiring for early corn—corn that will mature in the shortest period. There is 110 probability that there will be more than a half crop of corn planted this season, and we suggest that the broad acres that were to be put in corn be sowed with buckwheat, and let us Hoosiers try Pennsylvania fare one winter anyhow.—Franklin Jefferso?tian.

ARMORERS FOR THE WORLD.—The Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, said "the Americans were destined to become the armorers of the world." The improvements in every class of arms which were submitted to him by our ready and enterprising inventors during the Crimean War, elicited the admiration of military men, and led to very large orders on our American mechanics.

Shelton Makenzie went over

Mr. Bancroft's sixth volume critically, and says he could discover only one inaccuracy and that was merely the tautology of speaking of "the county of Yorkshire."

TIN? RS!T"S RTATI-:.X A NO KV^LANIJ' —HKJIiT or "SEAi'-CIR A.VI) KICJIXT or VISIT, I The right of. visit' ami right, of ••search,' iin tirae of peaco. are placed by our government both in tho same category. It 1 acknowledges no'di.stir .ctic:i*bctween.them, and declares there i. no right to visit in 'time of vcaee, except in execution ot revcnue laws or ether municipal .rcgulafaww,in which CMG tKc- cor?rT0r ~w 1 :h h: the marine league, or whero the ve.-'Keh is justly suspected of violating the Lur of nalivrw- by piratical aggressions. The English government, however, claims the right of visit to determine the nationality of a vessel. Mr.

Webster, in 18-13, in discussing this question with the British government, said the "government of the United States docs not admit that visit of American vessels by British cruiscrs is founded on any right, notwithstanding the cruiser may suppose such vessel to bo British, Brazillian or Portugese. Wc cannot but see that detention and examination of American vessels by British cruisers li:i3 already led to couscquonecs, and fear that, it continued, it would still lead to further conscquenccs highly injurious to the lawful commerce of the United States."

This is American dootrine, but British authorities ou the bench have taken ground equally broad and strong. Lord Stowell, in a case which oame hefore him, is represented to have said "No nation could excroisc the right of visitation and search upon the commerce and unappropriated parts of the oceau except upon the belligerent claims. No one nation has the right to forcc its way to the liberation of Africa by trampling upon the independence of other States, or to procure eminent good by means that are unlawful, or to press forwa-id to a great principle by breaking through other great principles that stand in the way. The right of visitation ami search did not exist in time of peace. If it belonged to one nation it belonged to to all, and would lead to gigantic mischief and universal war. Other nations had refused to acccdc to the British proposal of a reciprocal right of search in the African seas, and it would require an express convention to give the right of search in time of peace."

This is exactly applicable to our own case, and could have not been moro direct and pointed.

LUCKNOW AFTER ITS CAPTURE.—It

pears by the correspondence of the London Times from Lucknow, that the capture of that place by the British troops was followed by the greatest excesses, Plunder and outrage became the rule, and it was found necessary to adopt the most striu. gent means to cheek the fury of the victors. The town men were seized and robbed, and, if they resisted, violence was used.

[Carw«p(mdan» of the New York Herald.] TME OVERLAND MAIL ROUTE, p--.: WASAINGTON,

Sunday. May 9.

The overland nail from St. Louis and Memphis to San Francisco is it "fixed fact." It will be recollected by yon that the over* land mail was established by law on the 3d of March, 1857. Immediately after the accession of Governor Browh:»to the Post-office Department he took up the subject, and, after a most pains-taking examination of it, devised the means for executing the law, and submitted his plans to the newly-installed President of die United States. The President laid the measure, so important did he esteem it, before a full cabinet council. After numerous consultations it was unanimously resolved to commit the execution of the contract it was thought best to make to John Buttsrfield and eight or nine other experienced, energetic and public spirited stage contractors and expressmen of known means. They were not only known to be possessed of ample means, but also of a perseverance that would not quail when they came to grapple with the gigantic difficulties that existed on the routes between the Mississippi River and San Francisco.

The route selected by the Postmaster General, under the advice of the President and his Cabinet, has since been carefully examined by the contractors, and, with a few slight changes, has been found not only practicable, but far, very far, better than they expected to find it.

The contractors were allowed by law and contract one year within which to prepare for the execution of the great trust confided to them. They are to commence running four-horse coaches from both ends of the route, semi weekly, on the 16th of September next, and make the trip in twenty-five days. After completing their examination, so well pleased are they with their prospects, that they have made application, it is understood, to be allowed to run a mail from San Francisco quite down to Fort Yuma on the 1st of July next, and from St. Louis and Memphis to Fort Belknap at tbe same date. This application, in whole or in part, will probably be grautcd.

As this is the first great practical stop taken by the Government of the United .-antes to open up an easy and direct line j: communication between San Francisco jtnd the Mississippi Kiver, for the convcyh'Ticc of passengers, and for the purpose of building up a continuous line of settlements, I will describe the route.

The route begins at San Francisco, runs up the river to and through the Tulare Valley, through the Uvas Pass, through tho settlements in the fertile valley of San Bernardino, to Fort Yuma this is an air line, nearly. From Fort Yuma the I route proceeds through Arizona, directly j..U» i/ori* Fillmore, on the Bio Grande, a jfew miles above El Paso. From thencc the route runs cast, and crosses the Eio

Peco3 about three miles below the mouth of Delaware Creek thence to and along Marcy's trail to the springs in the Sand Hills thencc north cast to Mustang Springs thencc to the Big Springs of the 'oiorado of Texas thencc, crossing the Clear Fork of Brasos, near the mouth of Paiautercrcck, to Fort Belknap thence, through Preston, to Fort Smith, ou the Arkansas Kiver. Here the route branches one branch runs down the river, by Little Bock, to Memphis, and the other branch from Fort Smith runs through Springfield to St. Louis. From St. Louis to San Francisco the route is about two thousand five hundred and fifty miles long, and stages tfiiu be easily driven over it, after the organization has been perfected, in twenty-five days. Tho Country being high, dry and remarkably healthy, ana never subject to deep snows, it is believed the stages will always bo filled with as many passengers as can be accommodated for thousands will prefer a passage overland, in comfortable stages, to a passage by sea and across the sickly isthmus.

To confirm this preference but one thing ia wanting—thorough military protection.

This want, with the oye of a practiced statesman, tho ever-cautious Postmaster General has not only apprehended, but sought to provide against. It is understood that this sagacious officer has made a formal application to the President of the United States for a thorough protection of a route so important, and along which so much lifo and property will pass —a route which Congress has ordered to be opened at a cost so large, and with prospects so flattering, What plan of protection will ultimately be resolved on, of courso the uninitiated cannot know but it is believed that the President himself has bestowed some thought upon the subjcot, and has givon it in charge to the Secretary of War, with instructions to render the operations of tho Postmaster General secure. If this has been done, the security will certainly bo afforded for Governor Floyd is apt to do what lie undertakes.-— With Lieutenant General Scott to devise military plans, and competent subordinates to executc schemes of defense, the Secretary is able to consummate his measures with rare satisfaction to the President and the country.

c'eeurity

being afforded to tho Postmas-

General's great overland mail route of two thousand five hundred and fifty miles, will follow? What must follow?— I Settlements at cach stage "station," and in every fertile valley, every stage "station'' will h-we a tavern, a store, a black-Isi.iii'a'c-.xhop, a telegraph office, and ex-pro-se ouico. An immense emigration will 'K!'.,*-,- *hc stages. Security and stages can nev be far separated from the emigrants—riiey are bound to go together and when found together, they will build sct|tlemen- along their path.

Hence the Postmaster General, in the fir.-t eighteen months of his service, will have the happiness of instituting a measure which will build up the "waste place" of his country, and thus connects together the distaut and disunited parts thereof.— What so many statesmen, by other means of a moro imposing and costly character, have in vain sought to do, he will have acr complished by the use of the old English stage-coach. He will have connected and consolidated the settlements, and created new ones of the utmost importance. He will have given employment to troops, it is true but the rush of settlers into the protected valleys will quickly transfer the necessity of protection from the white man to the red one. His line of stages from El Paso to the Red River will almost at once cause a line of settlements to spring into existence, across which Indians cannot go. It will at once open Texas from its uorth-eastern flank, and pour into it a

wondrous tide of throbbing hi So with Arkansas, so with sonth-west souri, eminently uowith Arisoni*andsoutheastCidifornia~i

Ten years hendfe this great measure of Postmaster General Brown is likely to be considered the wisest and the most beneficient which will signalixe the Administration of President Buchanan. It connects the remote portions of a vast empire and i«, therefore, stateinanlike it insures the building and maintenance- of a telegraph for the convenience of trade and commerce upon tbe most distant and greatest ocean, and is, therefore, wise and bencficient.

As the ball was set in motion amid many jeers and taunts the Postmaster General may well felicitate himself upon his brilliant prospects of achieving a successful result. The conduct to a successful issue of soimportant an undertaking will be an honor alike to those who plan and and those who execute it it will be the event of his life and of the Administration. *\r
