This gentleman paid our place a visit on Monday last, and delivered a speech of some three or four hours in length, which was a mere repetition of the old song he sung in fifty-six. Mr. YX m. G. Smith, better known as “Pop-Gun,” of Fort Wayne, replied to j him in the evening, in an able and eloCcent speech. We defer our comments i. Mr. Pettit’s speech until next week, I viiea we shall notice it at some length. Bold and Correct. In the course cf a long and eloquent editorial which appeared in the Ricmond (Va.) Enquirer of July 30, in reply to a letter in the South,’, we find a passage which is no less distinguished for the cor-{ reel positions assumed in it than for the bold manner in which they arc expressed: “We arc not disposed to anticipate the i action of the people of Kansas on this' subject. But every thinking man at once i recognizes the fact that the provisions 1 excluding Kansas until she shall have attained 93,000 or 120,000 inhabitants, furnishes no legal barrier to the immediate admission of Kansas. Without infringing a single item of the Constitution, the next Congress may admit the State, without any reference whatever to the English Compromise. And whatever action Congress may take on the subject should be taken with a view to the best interests of the people of the Territory, and entirely without reference to the sectional preferencec or prejudices of different members of Congress. The man who I shall oppose the admission of Kansas j merely on the ground that she comes forward with a free-State constitution, will' set in disloyalty to the spirit of the Constitution. The Democrat wboshall follow a similar narrow and vicious policy, must disregard the faith solemnly pledged ' by the party to which he belongs. And the Southern man who acts in accordance with such dictates of bad faith, will offer to the adversaries of Southern lights the best possible pretext and precedent for disastrous retaliation. Republican Speech On Wednesday evening, at the request -of the Republicans of this place, Judge Dickerson delivered a Republican speech at the court, house, and explained the principles of the party, and their objection to the Dred Scot Division. It was rich.— We shall give it a passing notice next week.

District Convention. We are approaching the election, and our ticket is yet incomplete. Is it not time some action is taken and a Convention held, if one is considered necessary. We think it unnecessary to hold a convention, as there are no persons in this county desiring the nomination. The Central Committee and the Delegates appointed for this county, are willing that the Democracy of Allen shall settle the affair and place the men of their choice upon the ticket, and the Democracy of Adams will acquiese in their division, and by this ! means the calling of a Convention be avoi- , ded. We would further say that Joseph 1 Brackenridge, Esq., present incumbent, is the choice of this county for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and will be sustained by this countv if a Convention is 1 called. What sav you Mr. Sentinel to , i . disposing of the nomination in this man-' , ner? We can do the traveling public no ' I greater service than to post them in reI gard to public bouses; and we would 1 merely suggest to those visiting Bluffton, ithat nowhere in the western country can ’ they find a better one than the “Central | House,” in that place. Mr. Case, the ! ! gentlemanly proprietor, is ever attentive ;to the wants and wishes of his guests.— i See Card. >ii «■ hi For the Eagle. John U. Pettit. j Messrs. Editors:—The gentleman i . whose name heads this article visited our I town on Monday last, and entertained our (good citizens, the ladies too, God bless! I them—how well he entertained them I ' leave them to tell—with a speech of about I ; three hours and a half in length. It was j a rehash of his speeches of fifty-six upon' “bleeding Kansas,” the “repeal of the Missouri Compromise,” the “raising of ■ the Congressmen's salary,” eulogy upon “Garden seed,” &c., <fcc. The only new feature in his speech, was his justification of his vote for raising the salary of, already, fat offices in the Army and Navy; and endeavored to excuse himself for not voting to raise the pay of the ] common soldier by stating that it was not i in the power of Congress to do so; but that the President and Secretary of War had j the regulating of the common soldier’s ; pay ; ... i Now one of two things is certain: John | U. is either a fool himself, or, he suppo-1 i sed he was talking to fools when he made j i that statement! Who ever heard tell of; the President and Secretary making laws? j ; The very idea is ridiculous! Os what use would Congress be if such was the case? j There is not a man, woman or child in the country, that has ever read a newspaper, but what would know that it was a falsehood of his own manufacture, inten- . ded to gull and deceive the honest voters of his district. He is one of the “moral reform” candidates! In the evening “Pop-Gun” Smith, of j Fort Wayne, replied to Mr. Pettit in an able and patriotic speech, in which he! showed up the “little pony” in his true, I i light, and to the satisfaction of every can- j did mind. It was rich, indeed, to see ; ’ certain “ thick-liped, ” “ long-heeled,” j “woolly-headed,” “big mouthed,” Abo- ' litionists scringe and quake under his scathing eloquence; it was fun to see them creep out and sneak off like a big nigger from a white man’s hen roost.— 'Yours, dtc.

I Faithful Sentinels. “ ( That splendid advocate of Democratic i principles, the Philadelphia Press, con- i I ducted by John W. Forneu, reached, i us Tuesday the 2d inst., the first num- i ber of its second volume. It was estab- < lished on the Ist day of August, 1857, as ' a Democratic organ, and at that time, ; and for many weeks subsequent, had the ii appobation of President Buchanan and ; his Cabinet. And yet its editor declared 11 unequivocally and emphatically, in the i very first issue of the Press, that be i should be more the advocate of Demo- ■ , cratic principles than the skillful apologist | for anj’ evasion of principles—that he ' i 1 should use more care to keep pure the parly practice than to defend the party I : organization.from asperations. Sustain an I honorable, above-board partv practice, : and all attacks on the organization will be harmless; but once suffer coruptions to ' creep inside, and no defense, however brave and ingenious, will avail. The edi ilor of the Press was no novice in the | profession; lie had known, at least, a few politicians, and had observed some i ■of the working of politics, and was well i i qualified to foresee, and able to prepare I I for, anything that might present itself in ' i the path of his duty. And that path was j surveyed with the trained eye of a man | devoted to the best interests of the DemI ocratic party, and, at the same time, ar- ■ ■ dently desirous for the brilliant success of James Buehcnan in the Presidency. In the independent course, indicated by these I remarks, which the Press resolved to pursue, its editor thought—the President i and his Cabinet and the whole Democratic party thought—that the cause I could be subserved better than in any i : other way. And so it could. It has subserved the cause of true Democracy so ably and successfully—seconded by the other anti-Lecompton journals of the party—that all the malice of the original foes of the party, and all the treachery of , men high in authority, have not yet I succeeded in crushing the party. They ; have produced an appearance of disorganization in certian quarters; but that is all 1 they have done. There is no disorqaniza- . tim; the IDemocratic parly is anunit on the great question between Stephen A. Douglas i ■ and the small pack of hounds that bay j I hoarsely on his track! We say that the ' I present proud position of the party—a ! position from which we look forward to ! a long and uninterrupted series of brilliant I successes—is the result of the brave and ; disinterested exertions of the anti-Lecom-pton Democratic journals of the country, j They were found in every section of i the Union, in the North and the South, 1 the East and the West, while the battle raged in Congress. They are to be found in all sections now, doing herculean ser- ’ vice for the right, for good faith, and honest men. And the number of these is increasing daily. In very truth the , decree has gone forth. The proclamation of it sounds over all the land: the i PEOPLE WILL SUSTAIN THE MAN , WHO SUSTAINS THEIR CAUSE.— This has been determined on, at Illinois. i Douglas lias control of the popular heart here; and the votes of the people, in November next, will endorse his late course and vindicate the conduct of bis friends everywhere. The anti-Lecompton Democratic journals have been, and now are. the laith- [ ful sentinels of the party. We have only to wait a little, and all men will see t the force and acknowledge the truth of our assertion and prediction.

! Kausas Rejects the Constitution—What Then! The indications are that by the late I election in Kansas, the Constitution has .'been rejected by an overwhelming vote. . \ What next is to be done? Another j Constitution, will, in all probability, be | speedily framed and sent to Congress and a demand for admission be made — J Shall that demand be Will ! the Administration stand by the English ’ ■ Bill, and refuse to recommend the adinis--11 sion of the State? We believe that the I President desires to have this question I finally settled; that as permanent peace can only be obtained by the admission of the State, whenevershe asks admission, j without regard to population —we cannot but believe that the President, desiring peace and harmony for the country, will not hesitate to recommend admission. These views find expression in the subjoined extracts, from the 3’. K Herald: •We may, therefore, expect in the teeth 1 of this restiiction, that a new Constitution ' will be laid before the two houses at the next session, coupled with a demand for admission under it. What then? Here is a programme for a change of ■ position, which coming from the in its present accepted position of quasi organship, deserves particular attention. I Will the Administration change position' should Kansas send in another Constitution? Wil! all the blessings of peace and harmony claimed for the English Bill ( have come so soon to a termination? Are we to have another wild saturnalia on the floor of Congress, contending for empty issues, and enraging the passions and animosities of sections upon questions almost entirely abstract, and of but little ; practical importance whatever? ‘The answer to these may frame the re- ' ply to the 'Herald's' ‘What then?’ But the 'Herald' replies to the query as follow: ‘Why, then, as the Lecompton con- i stitulion is definitely rejected, and as Kansas can never be n slave State, though she may be kept waiting at the door for ten years to come, the best policy with her is the shortest. Admit her and be done with her; because a refusal to admit her, on the plea of restriction of the last session, will only furnish a new fund of political capital for our Northern Kansas shriekers and agitators. Whether this speaks the views of the President or not, we have no means of judging; but it is a question which addresses itself to the calm consideration of the Southern States. Whether it is the part of wisdom to perpetuate the agitation that has lately sub- I sided, and to make ihe refuses to admit Kansas the great question in 1860 for the division ot parties upon sectional grounds, may well address itself to the reflection 1 of the slaveholding States. Such refu- I sal would become the rallying cry of ' Northern fanaticism and under its potent i influence the entire North would rally, we fear, to an oveiwhelming sectional victory. In our opinion it would be highly improper to adopt a ratio of pop- j ulation for a slave state different from ! that appointed for a free State. Equal and exact justice to both slave and free States is the only ground upon which the Southern States can mantain their claim ito equal rights in the Federal Union. A • policy the same for both slave and free j States should be the demand of the South. I I Upon such a policy they can mantain their just demands at the hands of the North, aad upon such a platform only can the Southern States hope to meet their allies at the North. There is no inconsistency between the ! admission of Kansas, with a subsequent Constitution, and the principle of the English bill. The adjustment measure of the late session may be as readily repealed as any other law of Congress.— Upon that repeal Lecomptonites and anti-Lecomptonites can readily unite. The prospect of peace was the only recommendation the English bill contained. To accomplish that end, to quiet agitation, the country ‘acquiesced’ in the English bill. And when it is apparent that its principal object has not been attained, the best policy is to admit the ■ State, and have done with this annoying ■ and dangerous question. The 'Herald' pretends thus to speak for the President: ‘We cannot be mistaken concerning the wishes of the President. His desire is to have the last; nail driven into the coffin of this Kansas : agitation. Let it be done.’—Does the i ; 'Herald' speak the wishes of the Presi- 1 ! dent? The Administration hare now the i ! the opportunity of settling permanently I ' and forever the Kansas question. The j admission of Kansas under a new Constitution can never work injury to the | South. To refuse that admission is to l i keep alive the fires of fanaticism at the I North; to array parties unon sectional j ' platforms to divide and destroy the Demoj cratic partv, and perhaps dissolve the Union.— Richmond Enquirer.

t Mlfeculous Occurrence. One of the most singular circumstances a that has ever come to our knowledge was s related to us yesterday by a gentleman ■i of this city, whose veracity cannot be ’ doubted, and who has but recently return- ‘ ed from Lagrange, Missouri, where the ■ affair, which we are about to disclose, oc- ■ curred. 11 On last Saturday, a stranger made Ins 1 appearance in Lagrange, and after making i unsuccessful efforts to obtain employment 'i he resolved to commit suicide. Obtain- ' ing a pistol, he placed the muzzle to hisj ! ' head and discharged the contents into bis 1 i brain. Upon examination by a compe- j I tent surgeon it was ascertained that the I , ball passed through the skull between the i eyes, and lodged in the back of the head. Part of the brain was scattered over the front of his hat. He was conveyed into the office of Mr. Gantt, of that city, a ; nephew of Thos. T. Gantt, Esq., of St. Louis, and medical aid quickly called to | the assistance of the sufferer. After lying in an insensible condition during the , day he recovered sufficiently to give the particulars which led to the commission i ■ot the act. He gave bis name as Brown, and claimed to be a native of Memphis, Tenn. Being poor and friendless he had not eaten anything since he left Cairo, a day or two previous. Discouraged at not receiving employment, and too proud to beg, he deter- . mined to place himself beyond the pale of physical want, and shot himself as above > stated; and now comes the most singular j I portion of this most extraordinary affair. \ Notwithstanding the loss of a portion of the brain and the peforation of the skull, by the bullet, Mr. Brown is in a rapid [ way towards recovery On Thursday he ■ was able to sit up in bed and converse in- ; I telligently with all who called upon him. j There is no doubt of the truthfulness of I the statement, and the case is one of those ' wonderful instances that are occasionally recorded, where parties have recovered from the effect of wounds in those parts , lof the system which, under almost any ; circumstances, it has been considered certain and immediate death to disturb. The affair has excited the earnest attention of : the medical profession.—J/tssouri Dem ' ocral. Sad Incident of the Late Overflow. —During the high waters of the Mississippi and its tributaries, a few weeks since a vast extent of country between the Mis- • sippi and Red rivers was overflowed. la ! many places the waters were so deep as j to destroy nearly all the improvements ' and animals. One morning early, a gentleman who had passed the most of the ■ 1 night at hard labor, striving to secure his j ! cabins and stock from being swept away, ; j while passing in a skiff to the house, ■ i heard the sound of a human voice at a distance, apparently in distress. He hastened in the direction of the sound, and after rowing about a quarter of a mile, he } as he drew near, espied a little child about j seven years old, floating upon a log. He drew up to it and caught ic by the arm. but before she was fully secured from I danger in the skiff, the little thing raised her pitiful cry, “Get ma and sis! Do get pa out there in the water!” Search was ; made, but it was too late to save them. ■ I The father, mother and three children, ; after clinging to their cabin and strug- : gliug for life for several days amid the in- ' ’ creasing waters, at length perished, leav- i ing this little child alone to tell the tale ' of woe. A Romantic Marriage. —Quite a ro- ; man'ic wedding look place at Masotnania ' ■ in this county, last evening. The groom was a returned Californian, who left his! wife for the auriferous land about seven ( years ago; and the bride, the wife that was left. Some time after he had reached California—a year or more—his wife I received intelligence of his death. Two or three years later she heard that the ' story of his death was untrue, but that he 1 never intended to return. Upon this , with the advice of friends, she obtained a 1 } ivorce. Two or three days since the wanderer i' ; returned, and called upon his former wife. ■ ■ Old affections revived, faith was plighted | anew, and last evening he led her, a;' blushing bride, to the altar for the sec- : ond time.

' A cold Blooded and Deliberate w, / Father and Son Arrested. Ut ' l<:r ' , One of those frightful murders ri -., have so common in tLj s • ! of late was committed yesterday j n Cl1 ’ lof our most public streets, a ' n ’d a" 116 hour in the day when they are more m with people than any other. The tn derer is a young man named F r - Bush, son of James R. Bush, an old a*l highly respected citizen, of large w,.,"' and influence. The victim is a n j r j j* man, a carpenter by trade, named J.J? Magee. | The circumstances are these: Mr (> E. Boggs, a master carpenter, is erecting j a brick building on the west side of Street, just south bf Van Buren, next building south is a two story frame one, occupied above as a dweling hous,. and below as a lager beer saloon, by R cob Rome. Mr. Boggs claims that Mr Bush’s building encroaches upon hisUti jsome four or five inches, and he waste quested by Mr. Boggs to have it moved [ but Mr. Bush refused to do so. Mr. Bosought the advice of a counsel, who toki ' him to proceed and cut down so mncli of the building as stood on his land, and that he would be protected by law in doing so. Yesterday morning Mr. Bo—, ! set men at work taking off the clap-boards I from Bush’s house on the side whicli encroached upon his, and soon after they 1 commenced, Francis Bush, a young man aged nineteen years, and son of Mr. James R. Bush, approached the men who were at work, and threatened to shoot them if they did not desist. They stopped work and shortly after had young Bush arrest- ! ed by the police, who had been previously ' sent there by Mayor Haines, in anticipation of a disturbance and he was taken to ■ the police office, where he was soon alter bailed out by his father recognizing in the ■ the sum of §3OO, and he returned to the scene of his disturbance. Further tiv c, ■ being apprehended, officers XYorj . Cleaves and Knight were sent tl 1 Shortly after young Bush returned;, i commenced making i some evil designs, and he wiiquentiy watched closely by the o::i— I but finally lie went into the btar s n n ■ kept by J icob Rome, and which i■■■ : building from which the workmen were i tearing off the sidings, got a Colt’s revolver from Rome, it being priviously load!ed for the purpose, went siily oa to the platform of Boggs’ building, andupclose to James Magee, who was on a ladder , engaged inputting up a platform, and j shot him through the body, the ball en;ti ring his left side just below the ribs, ! passing through his left lung and lodging near the base of the ninth rib. He was , taken to the drug store nearly opposite, ■ where he died in about an hour. Young j Bush was immediately seized by the officers present, who had great difficulty in ; preventing the other workmen from kill- , ing him on the spot. He was broughtto the police office and locked up. His fa, j ther James R. Bush, and Jacob Rome, were also soon after arrested and locked up, as accessories in the fearful tragedy. Magee, the murdered man lived with his parents at 208 Buffalo street, and was we should judge, about thirty years of age. His aged father arrived soon after the terrible occurrence. His lamentations wee most pitiable. Francis Bash is a young man of fine talents, a recent graduate of a Jesuit College in Indiana, and has been until within about two months past, a student in the law office of Wilkins, Thomas & Roberts. He has been very generally esteemed as a quiet, honorable, inoffensive young man. — Chicago Press. Still They Come. E. R Wilson, another renegade Democrat, has been nominated for Circuit Judge by the Republicans in the kort Wayne District To what straits are the Republicans driven for material out of which to manufacture candidates!’ Wilson is scarcely two years old in the party—still, such men as Mather, Packard and Frazier—men of ability and learning in their profession, and who all their politicel lives have opposed the Democracy—are made to stand aside for such a renegade as E.

Brazen Impudence.—The Washington Union, which has abused every Democrat who was notin favor of prematurely dragging Kansas into the Union as a State, under the Lecompton constitution, (says the New York Star,) now turns round, and, with brazen impudence, says: ‘There is no longer any reason f° r treating Kansas as an exceptional to the general rule prevailing in reference^ 10 the admission of new States into the Union. Justice to the people of the Territories requires that they shall have a sufficient population, before admission, to entitle them to at least one representative in Congress. About one hundred thousand people is, and ought to be, the lowest number entitled to such admission.’ Was not justice ‘to the people of other Territories’ the same six months ago that it is to d:«v ?— Xut.
