Cincinnati to Chicago. There is now nearly a direct railroad route between Cincinnati and Chicago. It is made up of six or seven Railways, which have united in a running arrangement, and travellers can obtain through tickets at either end of the line. The following table of distance and fares will give a full understanding of the route at a glance:

Dirgraccful Riots at Erie, Pa. The town of Erie has heretofore enjoyed the benefit of transhipping all the freight which passed through that place on the Railroads, and the change of passengers. The Railroad Companies recently determined to make their roads of one guage, to save this tax from the traveling community, but the citizens have resisted, and torn up the track.

The mob, composed of at least two thousand people, was led on by Mayor King. The actual working number was about one hundred men, the balance gathered about in groups consulting and cheering on the desperadoes, and stopping the mouths of all who dared to raise a note of remonstrance. The Hook and Ladder Company of Eric was out in full uniform, led on by their officers, and aided im the work of tearing down and dragging out.

The United States Deputy Marshal from Pittsburg, served citations in the nature of injunctions against committing any violence, but the response was that Erie did not care a for the President, for Congress, for the Governor, for the Legislature. Erie law was their law, and that law they should obey, and that only.— Those citizens of Erie who at heart are opposed to these proceedings, will not or dare not protest even against this lawlessness, and so far as appearances show, the entire population are in league in this nefarious business.

A Captain Lane, or McLane, of Harbor Crec.k, was received at Erie with cheers, and demonstrations of popular applause. The Captain made a speech calling a meeting of the rioters at Harbor Creek, at which they were instructed to appear armed and equipped with crowbars, pick-axes and fire arms, to prosecute the work of destruction at that point. tine of the principal assistants of Mayor King, was a large double-fist-ed negro named Vosbrugh, who made it his especial duty to insult every de*

cent man in the crowd. This fellow was the adviser and right-hand man of Mr. King, and one of his principal actors.

The Chief of the Police thanked the mob for their efficient services, and discharged them until further proceedings were deemed necessary, when they were expected to be again on hand.

Passengers on the trains walked across the gap, about two miles, women and children in the mud, carrying their baggage. We believe the mails are still delayed.

To day two hundred and fifty track layers, in the employ of the Erie and North East Company, who are changing the guage, will reach Harbor Creek, where a fight may be expected. Two hundred resolute men can no doubt whip Erie and its suburbs.

The track was torn up a second time, and the matter is now before the Supreme Court of the State, in session at Pittsburg.

Dec. 17.—A riot of a

most serious character occurred at Lasalle yesterday, among the laborers on the Central Railroad, originating out of a reduction of wages.— One of the rioters was shot dead by the Contractor, Albert Story the riot ers then attacked Story's offico, and pillaged it, and brutally murdered the contractor. Mrs. Story was fired upon, but escaped.

Jt is reported that a man named Dunn, Story's foreman shot nine of the laborers.

The Sheriff soon arrived upon the ground, and meeting with some resistance, shot one Irishman dead, and wounded two others.

Thirty of the rioters were arrested. Story's body was horribty mutilated.

FROM MEXICO.

BALTIMORE,

SAD SIGHT.—In

We glanced at the stagering pair—the one weak from intoxication, and the other from shame and anguish, with the feeling that earth has no sadder sight than that presented by a heart-broken wife leading her drunken husband, in open day through a public street.—<N.

Doubtless the amount of intelligence contained in the following letter has already reached you. If it has not, you will find it embodies more of the particulars of the massacre of Capt. Gunnison and seven or eight of his party, than any other. It is from a gentleman of our acquaintance, addressed to Wm. L. Bone, Esq., of

our town:

GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, }

8 P. M., Oct. 31, 1853. }

SIR—An express has just arrived

from Fillmore city, bringing intelligence of the murder of Capt. Gunnison and seven of his party, who had nearly finished his fall surveys, and intended soon to come into this city to winter.

On the morning of the 20th ult., he went in company with Crutzfeldt, (botanist); Kern, (topographer) Wm. Potter, (guide) and eight other men, to make a survey near the Sevier Lake. On the following morning, while at breakfast, the Utah Indians fired upon them with their rifles, and then poured in upon them a shower of arrows. Capt. Gunnison and his men returned their fire, but unsuccessfully; they then made for their horses, were intercepted, and all murdered, save four, who reached their horses and escaped. They met Capt. Morris' command, and informed him of what had happened. He proceeded towards the scene of action, and came upon three of the men murdered, and a little in advance were Gunnison and the balance of the party. Capt. G. had twenty-six arrows lodged in his body, and one arm taken off. Crutzfeldt had two of his arms taken off, and none were scalped.

All the notes of the survey, as also all the instruments, fell into the hands of the Indians.

Gov. Young dispatched immediately a number of men, with an Interceptor, to join Capt. Morris, to endeavor to recover their instruments and notes of the survey. The body of Indians engaged, had assembled for the purpose of falling upon Fillmore settlement, and exterminating the population, men, women and children!

Other letters, and among the number, one from Gov. Brigham Young, (official), were received, detailing the same dreadful news.

Perhaps those in Washington City,

whose interest it is to look after and protect the traveler upon the plains, will now believe that the Indians are as treacherous and destructive as they have been represented, and that treaties avail nothing with'them when an opportunity to steal offers itself.

SENATE.

WA SHINGTON,

Dec. 15.—The Sen

ate ordered that when it adjourn it bo over to Monday. Mr. Seward gave notice of a bill for the construction of a Railway through the territories of the United States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean

Mr. Gwin introduced a bill providing for the appointment of a District Judge for the Southern District of California, with authority for the two District Judges to hold Courts in either District, in case of the absence or sickness of each other referred.

Mr. Gwinn moved that the Senate go into Executive Session, which was agreed to.

Mr. Gwin ofFered the following resolution, which was adopted. Resolved, That the committee on commerce be instructed to enquire and report on the general condition of the commerce of the United States, carried on upon the Pacific Ocean, and whether any legislative action is necessary for the security and promotion of that important national interest. -•.•

Mr. Hamlin gave notice of a bill to satisfy American citizens for claims arising out of spoliations by the French.

After the doors were opened, Mr. Dodge of offered a resolution to amend the rules, by providing that in all cases of the election of officers by the Senate of the United States, the vote shall be taken viva voce.

Mr. Broadhead said ha hoped the Senator would make a rule, also, that executive sessions be held in luture with open doors.

The resolution offered by Mr. Dodge was laid over, when the Senate adjourned.

HOUSE.

Mr. Dawson, from the Committee on Agriculture reported the Homestead Bill, and it was referred.

Mr. Meacham gave^notice of his intention to introduce a bill to pay the fourth installment of the Surplus revenue under the law of 183G.

A long debate arose on a resolution providing for the purchase of Mount Vernon. The resolution was generally opposed by the Virginia members, who said the Slate would never cede her jurisdiction over any portion of her territory. Without acting on the resolution the House took up and referred several matters upon the Speaker's table.

The Senate bill relative to the the manner of appointing the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury was then taken up and a long debate ensued, and without acting on it the House adjourned till Monday.

ed in the Park last evening, for the purpose of condemning the action of Mayor Westervelt, for causing the arrest of a Rev. Mr. Parsons, for street preaching against the Papacy, &c., on Sunday. The meeting embraced well known and highly re spectable citizens, and was addressed by Chauncy Schaffer, ex candidate for District Attorney J. W. Bryce, and the Rev. Mr. Parsons, aforesaid.— From the resolutions adopted we copy the following as expressive of the meeting: "Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, the arrest of the Rev. Mr. Parsons on Sunday last, while peaceably preaching on private premises, which had been procured for that purpose, was an outrage upon the civil and religious rights of a free people. "Resolved, That while vye are determined to obey and sustain the laws of our country, and while we wish to respect those who are chosen to execute them, we cannot and will not submit to the despotism of demagogues in authority, or hesitate to denounce those who, to gain an imaginary popularity, will pander to the passions or interests of any distinct class, whether secular or religious

The order of "Know Nothings" are said to be at the bottom of this indignation excitement. Unless a preacher com mitts an actual breach of the peace, we do not see how his street preaching can well be put down in a Christian community, considering that Christ and his Apostles were largely street preachers. The deciples were not commanded to go into "stained glass" temples, but out "into all the world," to preach the gospel, abjuring all abominations and calling men everywhere to repent.—N. Y. Minor.

FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The Union continues to bewail the election of Tucker, Senate Printer and says it has goad reason to believe that a a Democratic coalition has been formed for the purpose of embarrassing the administration, and dividing and thus breaking up thre democratic party, and concludes by saying that a respect for the Senatorial office cannot restrain it from speaking its mind..

NEW YORK

Dec. 15.—The Cunard

steamer Asia, with advices from Liverpool to the 3d inst., arrived at her wharf at o'clock this evening.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

No further movement of magnitude had taken place by the Turks and Russians, on the Danube although there were continual skirmishes taking place between small parties, and in some instances these were very severe. In Asia, the

SUCCCFS

of the

Turks continued of the most brilliant character. The Turkish forces had captured the first class Russians fortress of Coucheiin Kala, and the Fort of Usurghetto.

Hostilities had commenced on the Black Sea. A Turkish steamer had captured a Russian frigate, and a Russian ship had captured an Egyptian steamer of ten guns after a desperate resistance.

The combined fleets of France and England remain at anchor. The latest advices say that the Turkish fleet on the Black Sea were about to bombard Sevastopol this is the principal naval station of the Russians, in the sea.

Jit was understood that Austria proposes anew conference, tr, meet, either at Vienna, London, or Paris, to which project the great powers are saidto be favorable, and to which both Russia and Turkey are to belnvited to send delegates.

A manifesto from the Czar vvas expected. The Turks would seize Russian shipping after the 20th November, and the Russians all Turkish shipping after the 22d of the same month.

The Sulfan has declined to receive further supplies of treasure from the Ulmans, as he does not wish at present, that hostilities should be regarded as a religious war.

Apartments were preparing to Adrianople for the Sultan. Affairs in Servia, were producing some uneasiness to the Porte. The Servian Govornment demands from the Porte that an exequaior be given to the Rnssian Consul at Belgrade, which makes the Porte think Servia is influenced by Russian intrigue, although the letter from the Prince of Servia to the Sultan, states that Servia will preserve strict neutrality.

Rumors that the Emperor Napoleon was assasinated was current in England, but it was untrue.

A report was very current that an alliance was projected between England, France, Spain, and Sardinia, offensive and defensive. -,*•

A Revolution is reported to have broken out in Portugal, in favor of Don Maguel, but it needs confirmation.

The whole Polish army had marched to the Danubian Provinces. The Turks several nights bombarded the Ru.-si*" Dosition at Giurgevo, but were finally dislodge! by the artillery of the Russian General.

The last advices assert that six English and six French steamers were about to enter the Black Sea.

There were continued heavy rains along the lower Danube, rendering extensive military operations impossible, and both the Russian and Turkish commanders were getting their troops under cover. Omer Pasha had marched the greater portion of his troop3 back to the- quarters he occupied before he crossed the Danube the Turks had, however, formed an entrenchment between Kalafat, and Giurgevo.

On the 24 th ult., Sell a my 1 and Imael Pasha were to make a simultaneous attack on the Russian lines, but the result is not known.

Omer Pasha intercepted a letter from Menschakoff to Gortschekoff, telling him to keep quiet in the Principalities.

Fifty pieces of artillery has been sent to Adrainople. Russia is said to have required from England the recall of Admiral R. Crane and Capt. Borlace, now in the command of the Turkish fleet, and both holding commissions in the British Navy.

It was reported in Vienna that an alliance had been formed between Servia and Montenegro.

We have no news from England of interest. The anniversary of the Polish Revolution was celebrated in London on the 29th ult.

MCDONALD

Report of the Department of the Interior.: The report of Mr. McClelland, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, is a long but interesting document. We have room, however, for only the following brief extracts:

During the year the survey of the public lands has been steadily prosecuted, large bodies of new lands brought into market, the wants of the emigrant fully met, and choice selections offered to the hardy pioneer.

The land system is nearly correct in principle. Its details need but little modification. During the year, 9,819,411 acres have been surveyed, 10,303,891 acres brought into market, and 1,083,495 acres sold. The number of land warrants issued up to the 30th September, last was 206,042, of which there were then outstanding 66,947.

The entire area of the public domain is estimated at 1,584,000 of acres. Its purchase was effected at the rate of 14.41 cents per acre, amounting to $67,999,700. Add the Indian reservation, valued at $4,250,906, and adding the cost of selling lands sold previous to June last, the entire cost, excluding surveying, amounted to 88,994,015. The whole amount accruing from sales, up to June 30, 1853, was $142,283,478, being $53,299,365 more than the cost of the whole. It is estimated that the net amount which will have been realized for them is the sum of $331,181,369.

The policy of bringing the lands into market at the earliest possible day is urged. Early attention is called to the disposition of the mineral lands of California, the unsettled business ol the Pension Office, and the frauds upon the same. The clerical force of the bureau of patents needs to be increased. The Indians have been unusually peaceful through the year. The present number in the United States is estimated at 400,000 —18,000 east of the Mississippi.

Interesting to Merchants—Payment of Drafts. We extract from the Cincinnati Gazette, the following: "An occurrence'of some interest, with reference -to the payment of drafts, took place to-day. A sight draft on a leading mercantile house, payable to the order of the Cashier of a prominent city bank, was presented to the former by the messenger of the latter. The draft was not endorsed by the Cashier and the messenger upon being requested to endorse for that officer, stated that he had no authority to do so' but would sign his own namefjf This was not deemed sufficient, and the draft was returned for the proper signer.

After 3 o'clock it was presented to a Notary, it having in the mean time been endorsed by the Cashier. A check was tendered in payment. The Notary refused the check, not, as he remarked, because he did not consider it perfectly good, but .vhen it came to 'hair-splitting he could be particular as well as others. 1 he draft was then protested.

Now the question armes. whether the endorsement ot the Cashier of a

whose order a draft is made

payable, is necessary in order to relieve the payer from further liability. It is very well known that a check on a bank, payable to order, would not be paid unless endorsed by the party to whose order it was drawn, on his duly authorized agem and in addition to this, the party presenting must be known by the officer of the bank.—

This rule was very properly adopted in order to prevent fraud and it strikes us that if it is good in one case, it should be in the other.

But the leading point to be decided is, whether a draft drawn to the order of a Cashier, may with safety be paid to a messenger, the paper being endorsed only I the latter, and he not having ..authority to endorse for the former.

cided by general custom, a negative answer would doubt less be given.'"
