WARREN REPUDIATES WILSON. Tho entire delegation of Warren county withdrew from the ltcpublican convention •at Lebanon on last Thursday jind a portion of the Fountain delega^mi. They absolutely refuse to support Wilson. Dr. Fry of this placc informed us last night that these wcre undeniable facts. The defection extends over the entire District.

•*I"OR CONGRESS-COL. M. D. .MANSON.

We publish the announcement this week of Col. MAIILON D. MANSON, of Crawfords-/••-.villo, as a candidate for the nomination to

Congress, subject to the action of the Pc-( mocratic Convention for this District. It is hardly necessary to say anything introductory of the Col. Having served a number of terms in the Legislature from this county, and established a state reputation for himself on that theatre, he is familiarly known throughout this District.— It is our opinion that lie is excellently "qualified for the contest against Jim Wilson. In no respect is he objectionable.— ..Not for a moment has ho swerved from that noble Dcmocatie principle—popular sovereignty. If elected, the people may rest assured that the Col. will vote for (he admission of Kansas, if Lecomplon is voted down, and another constitution fairly sanctioned by a vote of the people is presented and this, too, without stopping to enquire whether the Territory has a population of ninety ffiree thousand or not. lie believes that, if Kansas, with forty thousand inhabitants, is fit to become a state under a constitution once rejected by the people, she is better fitted to become a state with the same population under a constitution which the people have once fairly ratified. In other words, the

Col. is a firm adherant to the Cincinnati Platform and the Kansas-Nebraska bill as •orriginally interpreted. Consequently, he is the man for the time. If the people of this District want a man of that faith, and if they want to see the rottenness hewn l'roni the bones of the Kepublfean nominee with a meat axe edged like a cross-cut saw, the Col. is the candidate. Let us go np, nominate, and set him to flaying.

WIIEICi: IS SCIIELLER?

The nomination of James Wilson, at Lebanon, on last Thursday, suggests the propriety of enquiring the whereabouts of Seheller. Of course, his services will be necessary if the African party cxpect to succeed in electing Mr. W. Now we

bearer of tho black banner, that we shall make this campaign a hot one. We've got the matcruil to work on, and shall make good use of it. Let the trumpet sound throughout the camp of the Democracy of the Eighth District.

JOHN CHRISTY.—This gentleman requests us to state, that he still continues to hold himself in readiness to perform any and all kind3 of jobs requiring great physical exertion and muscular power, such as th« digging of tenements for those who have thrown aside the draperies of life, the pumping out of cellars, and the sawing of wood. John is a clever fellow, one of those hard-fisted yeomanry who believe that labor is exalting and dignified

GRAND MASONIC CELEBRATION AT LADOGA. On last Thursday the Masonic Fraternity of the beautiful little town of Ladoga, observed the anniversary of St. John's day and the Installation of Officers, by a public celebration. The affair was well gotten up, and will long be remembered as one of the mo9t pleasant and delightful festivities that it has ever been our good fortune to participate in. Besides the presence of the craft from Crawfordsville, there were .many invited guests from all parts of the (county. The train, containing the Order (from (his placc, arrived at the Ladoga dcpot at 0 o'clock, and at 10A- o'clock the grand procession

was

formed, in the fol

lowing order: ('rawfo'tl^villc Krass Hand. Entered Apprentice*.

The procession after moving through the principal streets, inarched to a beautiful grove at the west end of town, where the exorcises of the day were concluded by an oration from the Kev. Mr. Gee, of Lafnyjcltc, the Installation of Officers for the coming j'ear, of the Ladoga Lodge, and the partaking of a sumptuous dinner. The oration was decidedly a clever effort, spiced

S up in of In on with some of those happy conceits and beautiful figures of imaginary that always lend an enchanting pleasure to an appreciating auditory. The dinner was an excellent affair, the tables tastefully arranged and decorated with all the delicacies and substantial of the season, and to which ample justice was done by the noble fraternity and their friends.

Pitoncssoit AGASSIZ.—It seems from a statement in the London Athenaeum, that after all, and in spite of his many former refusals, Professor Agassiz, of Boston, will be won over for the directorship of the Museum of Natural History of the Jarditides Plantes, at Paris. It appears to be a favorite wish of the Emperor Napoleon to draw this celebrated scholar, whose personal acquaintance he made in Switzerland, to Paris. Agassiz has been offered a salary of 25,000 francs, and the immediate Senatorship, which brings another 80.000 francs and at last he has consented to go over to Paris for a verbal and personal negotiation.

One-FELLOWS CELEBRATION AT DARLINGTON.—The I. O. O. F. of this place, will leave on next Saturday morning for Darlington, to participate in the celebration of the Order of that place. The Crawfordsville Saxe-IIorn Hand will be in attendance and enliven the affair with their enchanting music.

"HE SINGS AT CRAVE .MAKING."—Passing through the old cemetery, a few days since, we noticed a little incident that brought vividly to mind the grave-yard scene in TIamlet. Tin grave digger, who by the way is an honest fellow, and rapldly digging himself into a fortune, was busily engaged with his spade in fashioning a tenement in mother earth for one of Eve's famih*. Like Shakspeare's grave digger, he lightened his toils, not by singing, but by that more modern style of music—whistling. For a moment we thought with Hamlet—"has this fellow no feeling of his business*'—when philosophy whispered to us, that the tenement, after all, would contain nothing but the dead inert matter that once enshrined a beautiful and immortal spirit, that had gone frommnmng us to the golden city, the land of Elysian fields, where the flow rets never wither, and the gloomy disc of November days arc unknown, and the dead march of Saul unsung. Possibly, this fashioner of graves never tlfought of these things. Custom, barbarous as she sometimes is, has disrobed the occupation of its sombre lni Such is lite.

DSP"In last weeks issue, we noticed the nomination of Hon. James Hughes and Mr. Carr, in the 3d District, for Congress. At the time, we supposed Carr was the regular and legitimate nominee. We have since learned that Mr. C., was nominated by a few bolting democrats. As a Democrat, wc have no sympathy with bolters, and shall treat them as enemies to the party. While wc claim the right to entertain our own opmiou upon the Lccompton issue, we conceive that we have no right, as a Democrat, to repudiate a regular Democratic nomination.

A (.LANCE AT SOCIETY TIIE SOCIETY ISLANDS. The Kentuckian, published at Lebanon, in that State, has been furnished with letters written by a lady to her sister in thnt town from one of the Society Islands, in the South Pacific. .She was there on her her way to the Sandwich Islands, the vessel in which she was sailing having put in for supplies. We make a few extracts, possessing some interest:

Imagine me with a broad-brimmed flat upon my head, to keep a tropical sun from scorching me as black as the natives who are around me, sitting under a beautiful orange-tree, while J——is gathcriug oranges for me, anil jou

of where I am this January morning.— But your most vivid imagination could never picture the emotions which are produced on viewing the natural scenery of this Island, and my pen will fail to give but a dim outline of the loveliness and grandeur which I now behold. With one glance of the eye can see trees bearing all kinds of "tropical fruits. Oranges, limes, bananas, pine-apples and bread-fruit are only a few names in the catalogue of fruit. Here is the cocoa-tree, towering almost to the clouds, as if it might one day hav? been chosen lord and commander of the forest-tenants beneath it. Then there is the guava, a niost delicious fruit. It resembles a rich yellow apple upon .the surface, but, the inside looks like the strawberry, and is similar in taste. There arc numerous fruits, too, delightful to the eye and pleasant to the taste that I have not yet learned to call by name.

This seems like paradise itself. Everything grows spontaneously without the least cultivation. The deputed lord of creation has only to reach forth his hand to pick and eat.

The natives collected on the shore wlieji wc landed, for their curiosity to sec a white woman was unbounded, as only one lives upon the island—she being the wife .-— of a missionary, who has been here for a long time. In a few hours, however, their curiosity was appeased, and that allowed nie time to rest. Tho dress for both men and women consists of a strip of cotton cloth wound around them. They are a simple and docile race of beings, have no ambition, and but little mental activity, apparently.

these hot sweltering days it is the only thing that will cool suffering humanity.

8©*Thosc wishing to buy Reapers would do well to call at CAMPBELL, GALEY & BARTER'S, and examine a sample Machine of the celebrated Atkins' Self Raking Reaper and Mower combined. Mr. Jesse W. Cumberland authorizes tis ts sav that he is prepared to furnish both the above, and the New York Hand Raking Reaper, either of which are warranted to be superior to any other in use.

The Ainericau consul kindly gave up his rooms to us, but I spent most of my time at the missionary's house. They arc English, and came here when the native were perfectly wild. They arc good people, and must have made great sacrifices to come and scattcr the seeds of the Gospel among this benighted racc.

The next day, Sunday Jan.uaay 30, she visited their place of worship, and gave this description of the queer behavior of the natives:

To-day have visited a place that has interested me more than anything that I ever witnessed. I have been to attend the native service, during which my feelings were a strange combination of solemnity, astonishment, sadness and merriment.— The church, whieh was built very open, was in size about twice as large as our country churches generally. The audience was quite large, and, as 1 could not understand a single word which the good missionary said, an impulse of curiosity impelled mc to look around and notice the proceedings I must say that they were the most ridiculous that cau well be imagined. When the missionary arose to pray, they all very reverently knelt with their heads bowed low, but no sooner had he commenced than they began to get up and "cut up." They went to amusing themselves the best way they knew how.— Some were rolling up pieces of paper and smoking them, others were making faces in short, all hands were up to some kind of pranks until the minister said the last word of his prayer, and then all was right.

THE "IPOITln OF THE BHOLRH lH INDIA. It appears that the Eogliih amy is baring a fine time in blowing the satires of India into atoms. Read the following from a London paper:

About -ty o'clock tbe military began to arrire. Gun after gun made its appearance and took up the position assigned to it. Out of every gateway from the fort Europeans and natives were pouring on to the esplanade in hundreds,- and from the native town every alley, street and lane were disgorging their thousands. All seemed anxious to behold two traitor Sepoys blown into dark eternity. Their crime was known, and the stern and compressed lips of every European present told how well they deserved their doom.— The manner in which they had.been detected in their nefarions designs was subtle and complete, and reflected much credit upon the Deputy Commissioner of Police and his assistants. Three times had a merciful Providence defeated the mutineers by the timely arrival of European troops from remote colonics and while the fourth plot was being brought to maturity, the two criminals were seized. The times demanded that a terrible example should be made, and the doom of the men was speedy. As the hour of five struck the stillness became awful every feeling and faculty was strung to its utmost tension, and the beating of hearts became audible. The spectacle was one of quiet horror— there being none of that excitement whieh is to be met with at a public execution in any other part of the world. The natives of India arc not a demonstrative race, and they looked on with an appearance of stolid indifference. The handful of stern and determined Europeans had, moreover, overawed them, and there was but one feeling predominant—fear. Among all the assembled thousands a murmur could not even be heard—a whisper would almost have broken the stillness. The officers rode along the lines resolved and silent. So noiseless was their motion that even the champ of their horses' bits and the clank of their sabres jarred upon the ear.— While the clock was yet striking, the brigadier commanding the garrison rode in front of the two executive guns, and it seemed for a moment as if all sound had died away. The sentence of the courtmartial was then read to the prisoners in the Hindostan language, after which they were ordered to prepare for death. They were stripped of their regimental jackets, and marched between files of their European guard to the muzzles of the two guns. The drill havildar, one of the two, was a. noble-looking man, in the noon of manhood, tall and stately. His mien was erect and dignified, until the men of the Royal Artillery laid hands on_him. Then ho

ed to feel as irhis Kour had comc, a shudder shook his frame, his jaw fell, and his ivory-white teeth were disclosed. While the two men were, being bound not a syllable was uttered by the assembled crowd, but a rattling of steel along the line gave notice that the Enfield rifle was being prepared for action. At the word "Prime," and when the ominous clink of the lock fell upon the ear, the 10th N. I. visibly' shook. It was evident that they did not know but that the next moment the rifles might be brought to shoulder and leveled against their front. Simultaneously with tho loading of tlie infantry the guns'to the right and left of the criminals were turned straight upon the native regiments. They were loaded to the muzzle with canister and grape, and the gunners stood by the touch holes with their matches lighted.— On the ramparts of the fort.four 68 pounders were also laid ready. By this time the prisoners were secured to the two guns. There was a moment's pause, which was broken by Capt. Bolton, of the Royal Artillery, calling out, with a loud voice, "Let all retire from the two guns, except the two men with the port-fires at the word 'Fire,' apply the match." There was probably a pause of two seconds' duration then the word "Ready!" was given by Capt. Bolton. The gunners took but a moment to blow up their matches, but it seemed a long, long time. The two prisoners and the two artillerymen stood as immovable as'statues. The awful stillness was at length broken. The word "Fire!" rang out clear as a clarion note from the lips of Capt. Bolton. Next moment the earth shook as if a volcano had opened at our feet. The guns were enveloped in thick clouds of smoke, through the white wreaths of which little particles of a crimson color were falling thick as snowflakes. Tho particles wore the prisoners blown into atoms. oirri "i iiS*Tkin(™a«O! T.

The St. Louis Republican has thrown out the following suggestions: The Mormons, it will be observed, have stopped in their flight at Provo, one of the strongest of their settlements, about forty miles from Salt Lake City. There, it is believed, will be a resting place for the most of them. It is a question in well-in-formed quarters in the Territory whether it will not be better for the peace of the United States to stop them where a restraining authority can be exercised over them, than to drive them into Sonora, where they will soon be the ruling power in the State, and where, there is little risk in saying, they will soon establish an independent republic. In that position, with embittered feelings against the United States, nothing will be easier than for them to give us a vast deal of trouble. If, as is generally conceded, we must have possession of Sonora, they will be a stumblingblock in the way, and they will make us pay dearly for it. They must be made to obey the authorities of the United States in Utah, or they must be forced to take up a residence in some other direction. A strong military rule will soon convince them of the folly of their opposition to the Government, and it will not be long before a separation takes place between Young and the mass of his followers. We should be sorry to see them take up their residence in Sonora. ---<>---

We war not on the right of any State to establish or maintain slavery, if it will but on those assumptions which had converted all the territory of the Union into slave territory, and were fast converting the free States into virtual slave States.—New York Tribune.

Not a solitary mile of free territory was ever converted into slave territory since this Union was formed, but thousands of miles of slave territory have been made free. The statement of the Tribune, ac an excuse for tho Republican organization, is a monstrous historical falsehood.

[From tl« Boston Port.]

WMSHETKtTETOHfcKSELF! There was a murder trial lately in Philadelphia. The aedaction bra married man of a young woman was followed by these shameful and shocking results: the misery and mental wreck of the doating husband, and the death by the man of the seducer. The unhappy culprit was acquitted on the ground of insanity. When he killed his adversary the voice of the public was, "stfrved him right," and the jury confirmed the popular verdict. We do not think the public or the jury were in the wrong. The The seduction was a grievous sin, grievously answered. But what shall we say of the woman the particeps criminis with him whose crime occasioned these terrible consequences? The press, eloquent in its denunciations of her partner in sin, has had no more to say of her than if she had no accountability in the matter. This is not the silence of mere gallantry—there is a bad philosophy and \#orse morality at the bottom of it. The man was a sinner, and, in recompense, is dead and damned, it may be but is the woman to be held excused, or mentioned only as a "victim?" Half of the world says "yes," regardless of the fact that the affirmative implies an impeachment of the goodness and justice of God in creating a responsible being so utterly blind and helpless. A writer in the Philadelphia Press says, with great force of argument: "Are we all ready to sanction the monstrous doctrine that woman is to man as the poor bird to the fascinating serpent?— When the Almighty completed his creation by making mau, male and female, did He fail to give to woman as mych power over herself as was necessary for the same sex in the brutes that perish? Even they have some free agency! "Driuk not in this breath of abomination on t,ho subject of what is miscallcd seduction. Be it your cardiual maxim that woman is her own great—one may say her only real-destroyer. Such misery never comes upon her unless she lias first, in the recesses of her bosom, lighted a flame which the breadth of lying lips is always ready to fan. It is strange how easily the man of appetite guesses her fatal sccrct weakness, while he stands silent and respectful before the eyes of another woman, who has not broken down those hedges of innoceucc and reserve which God Almighty causes to grow with the growth and strcngthnen with the strength of maid and matron alike. "There are novels without cud iu our day. Their general moral, or rather immoral purpose, is to make human life a love-dream. Dcvercux, Jane Eyre, Consuelo, The Mysteries of Paris, and other productions of the Don Juan school of morality, form a circle larga enough to compromise all sorts of sensual dreamers. Women who consider Swift aud Smollett horribly coarse and vulgar, are not disgusted with the delicately-told and skilfullypalliated results of unlawful love."

The writer concludes with bringing the subject home to the "business and bosoms" of his readers in the following pungent terms: "Look around at your own wife and daughters—virtuous, bright and happy— wanting yothing that can contribute to their comfort and real enjoyments. Then take up the fashionable reasoning about seduction and settle it in your heart

one of the mysterious things about this present evil world, that any woman is virtuous, and bright, and happy, only because it has chanced that-some seducer, married

A new weekly line of steamers of which the Indian Empire (formerly the United States) is the pioneer, was ready for operations. The Indian Empire, with the Uniftd States mails, was to leave Galway for Halifax and New York, on Friday, last the 18th.

The affair of the steamer Cagliari, and the dispute growing out of thc imprisonment of thc English Engineers, between Great Britain, Sardinia and Naples had been satisfactorily settled.

The intelligence from India is one week later than previous advices that had been received. The British troops had occupied Barielly, where they had met with hut slight resistance, and had also entire possession of Bohileund. Oude was more quiet.

The warlike preparations of France have attracted public attention in England, and the matter has been made the subject of remark in Parliament.

It is contemplated to open the Atlantic Telegraph line free to the press and the public for a few days subsequent to the landing of the cable from the Niagara.

•THEY SAY."

a more sneaking, cowardly, fiendish liar than "They say," does not exist. That personage is a universal scapegoat for personal gossip, envy and malice, without form of flesh and blood, when invoked, and yet stalking boldly in every community.— The character is a myth, and yet real intangible, and yet from an exhaustless quiver wings its poisoned arrows from day to day. And no mail is proof no character, position or sex escapes no sanctuary is too sacred no home is bulwarked against its assaults. When one base heart wishes to assail some person, a character or motives, "They say" is always invoked.— That is the assassin who strikes in the cloud—the Thug who haunts the footsteps of the offender, and tortures, from careless ward or deed, an excuse for the stiletto.— Men dare not always reveal their own feelings. With smiles and pretending friendship, they present the envenomed shaft as comingfroni "They say." Be sure, reader, that when some villainous tale*is told you and the relator can not give an author more tangible than "They say" for it, then the slanderer is the creation of the heart by your side, and reeking with the poison of envy and hatred, and earnest with a wish to have the falsehood of "They say" bud into reality, and become current coin in the community. •'They say," wc repeat it, is as cowardly as it is false and fiendish a phantom creation which smiles, while letting loose a brood of vipers to crawl in your path, and, blast by their venom. To retail the stories of "They say," is to sneak behind an intangible personage and putin circulation the infamous and nocuous calumnies which, fron» raw material, are forged nearer home.

TELEGRAPHIC UNION OF FOUR CONTINENTS.—Should the Atlantic Telegraph be successfully completed, Europe, Asia, Africa and America will be brought into electric communication with each other, and a remarkable progress will have been made towards the civilizcd unity of the human race. From New Foundland there is telegraphic communication •with New OrleanJi. diatatit 8,710 miles: following the coursc of the wire, and when the Atlantic cable is laid, dircct communication can be jbtained with Constantinople, thus uniting the four continents. It is calculated that a message leaving the Turkish capitol at two o'clock, say on Monday afternoon, will reach New Orleans at six o'clock, the same evening. The first lucsaage from Constantinople dircct left on Sunday May 2, at 11.45, and arrived in London at 8.58 in the evening of the same day, London time, beating the sun nearly three hours.

A SKETCH OV IJTAII.

A correspondent of the Alta Californian gives quite an elaborate sketch of Utah and its setlements. Salt Lake City is represented to contain about one-third the population of the Territory. Among its leading buildings are the Tabernacle, the

Do you like such doc- Temple and the two mansions of Brigham trine about the help-meet for you, whom Young. The next settlcnit north is called God has given? Do you like to think it was true of your sainted mother? Do you think it is the law of J'our honored sisters au.l your tender aud beloved daughters? "It is atrocious cruelty toward the wretchedly poor and sorely-tempted women of oui' large cities, when those who sinned, full of bread, arc called victims, for whose sake the seducers must fall into untimely graves by the hands of violence. Such popular sentiment makes woman's honor the most precarious, the most insecure thing in the moral universe. If she stands it is only because she is well matched by a male sentinel. But it was said long ago, even in plays, "that the virtue which always needs a sentinel is not worth watching."

We were told by a money lender the other day that he was receiving from 10 to 20 per cent, per mouth for the use of money, and had been paid at the rate of 20, 25, and 30 per cent, per month for discounting notes. The lowest rates on good security for the use of money seems to range between 3 and 5 per cent, per month. Business in all our Kansas towns is nearly suspended. Men with $20,000 or $25,000 cannot sell property at any price, to realize even a few hundred dollars. Ileal estate can be bought at ruinous rates, persons feeling compelled to sell to realize ready money, perhaps to save their credit. Hardly any branch of business is sustaining itself.

•®"Geo. W. Julian, it is said, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Fifth District.
