GRAND OYSTER SUPPER.

THE FINEST AFFAIR ofTBB SEASON.

On Monday evening, Dec. 26th, Mr. J. W. BLAIR, proprietor of the slaughtering and packing establishment west of town, gave to the Farmers, Mechanics, Laborers and Merchants of oar vicinity, a sumptuous entertainment in the way of an Oyster Supper, at the Crane House. At 7 clock the bar-rooui was crowded with the above class of our citizcns, all anxiously awaiting the sound of "Supper is Ready."' At 8 o'clock one hundred and thirty-three persons sat down to as nicely prepared supper as Leart could wish, all present doing ample justice to the bivalves prepared by "mine host" David Knox.

After supper the guests of Mr. Blair repaired to the bar-room, when Capt. Lew Wallace was called to the chair, and after a few well-timed remarks explanatory of the object of the meeting, the following proceedings were had If

Dr. T. W. Fry made a few very appropriate remarks in reference to the importance of slaughtering and packing nil the Beeves and IIo:r raised and fatted in our county at Crawfordsvillc, thereby furnishing employment to many laborers and mechanics, and circulating a large amount of monej- that is now being diverted into other channels, and put in circulation at other and distant packing points, greatly to the injury and detriment of our people. The Dr. urged upon us the importance of a concert of action upon the part of our farmers, merchants and mechauics to bring about so desirable an object.

After which, Capt. Wallacc went off in his usual happy style, saying many nice things, but suddenly brought his remarks to a close, declaring that "he was too full a

Mr. J. P. Campbell offered the following sentiment:

"JOHN

BLAIR,

our enterprising

townsman— A man wiio does nothing by halves, but goes the "whole hog." [Received with applause.]

Tn response, Capt. Wallace assured us that Mr. B. never got the "wrong sow by the car!"

Dr. T. W. Fry offered the following as a sentiment: "MONTGOMERY COUNTY-—(Thatnoble old count}' of which we should all be proud)— May her peace never be marred by that which is sometimes so delicious, but too often so pernicious—Bourbon."

On motion of F. IT. Fry, a committee of three were appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the high esteem in which the meeting hold Mr. J. W. Blair for his sterling worth, in his unitring exertions to build up ti home market among us. The following gentlemen were appointed F. IT. Fry, David Ilarter, and John Lee.

Upon examination the committee Cud the following facts: Mr. Blair has bought and packed 1,250 Beeves—

GOVERNOR WISE AND THE UNION. A Richmond (Va.) correspondent of the Xew York Herald states that he heard Governor

WISE,

in a late conversation with

several members of the Virginia Legislature, declare that he believed the Union to be as strong as ever. The member, in utter surprise, asked him to state his reasons for tiie strange belief. The Governor said that there were elements enough still existing to hold the Union together that the relations of these elements to each other were of a character so strong and abiding as to render their severance next to impossible. The Union was, ho said, growing too fast, and a temporary check or difficulty, such as the present agitation seems to present, was inevitable but he believed that in ten years, the Union would be stronger and more consolidated than it ever has been.

COOK WAS ALWAYS A WILD BOY.—Mr.

Cook, the father of him who was executed in Virginia, who resides at Haddam, Conn., has been to attend his son's funeral at Williamsburg, N.Y. He says that previous

to the Harper's Ferry out-break he had not heard of his son for two years, and supposed him to be at Pike's Peak. He adds that his son was always a wild boy, and he had had a great deal of trouble on his account. ———<>———

LETTER FROM FRED. DOUGLASS.—The

last number of Frederick Douglass' Paper contains a letter from the fugitive editor, who has arrived safely in England. Douglass confesses that his sudden journey was undertaken in fear of arrest.. Of John Brown, he says:

To fail is madness to succeed is tho highest wisdom. Had .John Brown pursued bis original plan avoiding a fight altogether, keeping himself and his men scattered abroad in the ravines, caves, and the ten thousand Sevastapols to be found among the Allegheny range of niountaius—adding to his number all such as desired to be free, and were willing to suffer hardships and perils to gain it—the insurrection would not have seemed the mad and fruitless thing, it now socius. But John Brown has not failed. lie ha? dropped an idea, equal to a thousand boomshells, into the very Bastile of Slavery. That idea will live and grow, and one day will, unless slavery is otherwise abolished, cover Virginia with sorrow and blood.

ington correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows: One trouble arising from the obstinate silence kept by the Republicans, is the impossibility which* it presents of giving true pictures of their leading men to your readers. They sit like marble statues on their sofas, sometimes attempting to read newspapers during such speeches as that made by Otho

Singleton, of Mississippi

sometimes laying their heads together for a moment and conversing in whispers sometimes paring and filing their finger nails, as if life had no other object than a pretty hand sometimes yawning, stretching their legs, and locking their hands behind their heads to hidicate extreme weariness and every half hour or so, bursting out into a derisive laugh, when the key., note for such a performance has been sounded by Benjamin Stanton, of Ohio, or Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. "Vote, vote!" is their cry from the cessation of morning prayers to the moment of adjournment: and except for their human figures and human voices," it might be thought that ninety-one Democrats, twenty-three South Americans, and five Anti-Lecomp-ton men were attempting to talk sense into one hundred and twelve parrots, who had learned only this one cry, "Vote, vote! Vote, vote! Vote, vote!"

gress last Tuesday JOi The President, after expressing gratitude to Almighty God for the blessings throughout the year," refers "to the recent bloody occurrencc at Harper's Feny.— These, events, bad and cruel in themselves derive their chief Importance from- apprehension they are hut the symptoms of. an incurable disease in the public mihd, tfhich may break out in still more dangerous outrages, and terminate at last iu open war by the North to abolish slavery. While he, himself, has no such apprehension, the3T ought to afford a solemn warning to us all to beware of the approach of danger.

He says: Let me implore my countrymen, North and South, to cultivate the ancient feelings of mutual forbearance, and good will toward each other. Strive to allay the demon spirit of sectional hatred and strife now alive in the land.

He indulges in no gloomy forebodings, and thinks that the Harper's Ferry affair will be the means of allaying the existing excitement, and preventing farther outbreaks.

ITe cordially congratulates.Congress on the final settlement by the Supreme Court of the question of slavery in the Territories. The right has been established for every citizen to takc*his_ property of any kind, including slave0,into the Territories, and have it protected there under the Constitution.

Congress, Territorial Legislature, nor any human power, can annul'or impair this right.

Thus has the statutes of a Territory during the intermediate period from its first settlement until it has become a State, been irrevocably fixed b}' the final decision of the Supreme Court.

He then describes the mode of admission of a Territory 'as a State into the Union. It may be*"admitted with or without slavery*, as its Constitution liiay prescribe.

This principle has been recognized by almost tiie unanimous vote of both Houses of the last Congress.

All lawful means at his command have been, and will continue to be, employed against the slave-trade. Our history proves that the fathers of the. Republic, in advance of all other nations, condemned the slave-trade.

The Chinese treaty ratifications have been exchanged. Two supplemental Conventions are pending, relative to the rights of Americans in China and transit duties.

Tho Paraguay difficulties have been satisfactorily adjusted: Our relations with France, Russia, and all the Continental governments of Europe, Spain, perhaps, excepted, continue most friendly.

He recommends an appropriation be made to meet the demands of the Armistead claimants. lie favors the acquisition of Cuba by fair purchase, and again invites the serious attention of Congress to this important subject. lie had good reason to believe, until recently, that he would have been able to announce our difficulties with Great Britain as finally adjusted in a manner honorable and satisfactory to both parties. From causes, however, which Great Britain had not anticipated, she had not yet completed the treaty arrangements with Honduras and Nicaragua, and in pursuance of the understanding of the two governments.— It, is nevertheless confidently expected that this will shortly be accomplished.

In relation to the San Juau difficulty, he entertained no doubt of the validity of our title. He was happy to- state that what was left in General Scott's discretion could not have been placed in better hands.

General Scot.t has successfully accomplished his mission and there was 110 longer any reason to apprehend the collision of the respective forces during the pending of negotiations.

He speaks with regret- of the unimproved condition of affairs in. Mexico. speaks on the subject at length.

The aid which he requires, and which interests all commercial countries, is that which should belong only to this Govern mcnt to render, not only by virtue of our neighborhood to Mexico, but by virtue also of our established policj*, which is in: consistent with the intervention of any European power in the domestic concerns of that Republic and. for the reasons stated the President recommends the passage of a law, authorizing him to employ such a military force to enter Mexico for the purpose of obtaining indemnity for the future. Should volunteers be selected, such a force could be easily raised in this country among those who sympathise with .the sufferings of our fellow-citizens in Mexico, and with the unhappy condition of that country. Such an accession to the forces of- the Constitutional Government would enable it soon to reach the capital.

He recommends the establishment of military posts across the Mexican line in Sonora and Chihuahua, for the protection of the lives and property of Americans against Indian depredations.

He recommends the establishment of a temporal government in Arizona. He thinks the provisions of the recent treaty with Nicaragua can not fail to be satisfactory. He recommends a law authorizing the employment^}/ a naval force for the purpose of protecting Americans passing by the Panama, Nicaragua and Tehuantepec routes and again recommends that authority be given to employ the naval force to protect American commerce against the seizure and confiscation by Mexico and the Spaiiish'Atnerican States.

The news by this arrival is unimportant. SAN FRANCISCO, December 5—12 M. The Washoe silver mines continue to yield richly, the ore averaging S4,000 per tun. The cost of transporting the same to San Francisco is about $105 per tun. The preparations for melting &c., involves a cost of about $412 per tun. It is thought that another season will develop immense riches in that country.

The <Union Democrat> says that the recent rains have been of great benefit to the quartz and placer mines of Tuolumne County, and will set in operation over one hundred and fifty stamps, which have been idle several months. The heavy rains of the 23d and 24th ult caused great damage on the Calaveras and its tributaries.

The loss of cattle in San Joaquin County, caused by the late storm, is reported very heavy.

The new quartz mills of Col. Fremont in Mariposa County, known as the Benton Mills, have commenced operation with for-ty-eight stamps, making the largest establishment of the kind in California.

Nothing of importance had been recently received from the Carson Valley mines. Snow had fallen so as to interrupt operations.

It seems to be admitted that the silver mines, recently found near the East fork of Carson River, fifteen miles Southeast of Genoa, are quite rich and very extensive. Assays have been made and the ore found to yield $1,000 per tun.

A meeting was held at Carson City on the 21st ult.,. to take into consideration the conduct of Alfred James, Clerk of the United States District Court, in refusing to count or certify the votes whereby J.

The Sutherland tribe or clan occupied a part of the Scotch highlands, and covered the larger part of Sutherland county. The chief had the general control of tho clan and property, not as absolute owner, but as a sort of trustee for the tribe. Gradually they introduced the English practice of giving leases, and thus acquired the abi solute property. After taking a lease, no tenant could dispute his landlord's title.— And about the years 1811-1820, the Coiftntcss'of Sutherland, heiress in her own right to these ancient chiefs, expelled from their homes and the homes of their fathers 15,000 of her people, (almost as many people as this whole county of Washington contains.) Some were driven to the sea-shores, large numbers emigrated to this country, and it was charged £hat in some cases the houses were even set fire to, in order to expel tho poor families.

At any rate the villages were burnt, and the land was then divided into large farms, a.nd has made a splendid estate and brought an immense income to the Countess of Sutherland. She married, in 1785, the Mar quis of Stafford, who received this property with her, and in 1833 was created Duke of Sutherland. She died in 1839, and her In, the present Duke, inherited the property, and it is his wife who is the great philanthropist, and who is such an enemy to Amcriciu slavery.

The expulsion of 15,000 people from the homes of their fathers, excited so much feeling even in aristocratic Europe, that the Countess' agent, Mr. Loch, published a work in justification of it. You will find a full account of it, if you wish to see it, in Simmondi's Political Economy. He condemns it in the strongest terms, and so must every one who understands the facts. And yet this lady forgets all these facts in the history of her own property, and is very forward in condemning what she thinks oppression in this country, and in patronizing and entcrtaiuiug at her magnificent palace those who write against slavery here.

The truth is the less Republicans lionize Old Brown, the better.— Redpath, who is lionizing him for the purpose of making" money from the sale of his Life, may stand well with Eastern Abolitionists as to truthfulness, but he does not stand so with people in Kansas. Our best Republicans in Kansas know that he has willfully lied in his rccent statements about John Brown.

The blacks threatened to burn the town before morning. A vigilant watch was kept, however,1 and all attempts were foiled.

One negro was dangerously wounded from a pistol shot. Several were captured and confined in jail. The citizens called a meeting at the Court House this morning, and appointed a Vigilance Committee, who are taking active measures .to discover those engaged in tho riot.

Amounted company is now ranging tho woods in search of the blacks. The owncr of some of the rebellious slaves 'was badly wounded fo»day,and only saved himself by flight. Several of the blacks hate been severely punished. Great -excite* mcnt prevails every man is armed, and prepared for a more serious attack. Al tho very latest advices, however, :tho excitement had somewhat subsided.

MR. ItAREY IN LONDON. Mr. Rarcy told us that a horse would be introduced, of which the chief mark, as to character, "was that nobody could ride him. A wiry gray now appeared. Mr. Rarey soon hobbled him, with the intention, as lie told us, of showing his power over him, and to prepare him for the rider. The horse made no resistance to this part of the business, nor to being thrown on his side. This was done in a minute, and strangely enough, he allowed Mr. Rarey to knock his i^ct together^nd to go thro' some other performances. I now looked for a test of power far more valuable than that in the preceding case. The horse's sole objection seemed to be against being ridden, for this lie reserved all his energies. Mr. Rarcy soon mounted without saddle, and for about a minute showed some firstrate horsemanship iu sticking ottHowever he soon dismounted and called for a saddle. This was put on, and Mr. Rarcy mounted again, but it was soon evident that he had no light work before him. There was not, in this ease, the slightest appcarancc of any influence gained over the animal, though a wonderfully-fine display of horsemanship.

The horse traversed all parts of the arena, kicking furiously and indefatigably, with occasional rears and pawing of the air violently, Mr. Rarey's chief endeavor was to keep him turning round rapidly and thus to subdue him but every now and then the horse seemed to defeat the effort, and began lashing out and rearing again. Three times lie threw himself down, and most extvaordinary were the courage and skill with which Mr. Rarey each time extracted himself from the roll of the horse, and was literally fn the saddle again before the animal, nimble as he was, had time to he on his legs. The same contest then began again and lasted for a considerable time, but terminated with Mr. Rarey's victory—at least a near approach to victory, as he rode two or three times round the arena without further exhibition of violence on tho part of tho horse. IIi.s conipo.-ure, skill aud courage

cially the instantaneous occupation of the saddle aud commencement of the struggle again after the successive falls. It was however, a triumph of horsemanship, and of horsemanship only.

fifty inches in diameter, and nineteen feet, four inches long. Seventy-eight thousand pounds of iron were melted for

ready for casting in four and a half hours after the lighting of the fires in the furnaces. The furnaces were tapped in succession, and the iron run, in separate channels into a common reservoir, from which it passed into the mould, which was filled in twenty-nine minutes after the first tap. The mould is a ponderous structure, and is placcd vertically in a pit. The iron flask which supports it weighs thirty-one thousand pounds, and together with the earthen mould weighs fifty-four thousand pounds. When filled with the iron, the total weight is one-hundred and twentyeight thousand pounds. This is believed to be the heaviest casting ever made in a single piece in the United States, from iron melted in reverbatory furnaces. The

capacity of the mould is seventy-two thousand pounds.—<Pittsburg Post, Dec. 24th>. ———<>———

t®~ The portraits of "John Brown" represent him sitting in a red-velvet cushioned chair, holding a copy of the New York Tribune in his hanu. There is an appropriateness about the latter feature of the picture that none can dispute. The teachings of the New York Tribune probably did much toward pushing him on from fanaticism to crime and it is proper that the tool and the teacher should be held in a common remembrance.
