BY TELEGRAPH! Communicated to the Indiana Slate Sentinel. BALTIMORE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION. Baltimore, May 22d. The convention met at noon in the Unircrsalist Church. The room was crowded. Jud?a BRIXE, of Louisiana, was called to the chair; Samuel Tkeat, of Missouri, was chosen Sec retary. , Trayer was offered by the Rer. Theophilttb Fisk. air. Wheeler, of .North Carolina, then offered a resolution, to appoint a committee for the purpose of investigating the validity of credentials. T.Ir. Cole, of Georgia, offered to substitute one from each State, except New York, to decide who of their delegation should be on the committee. Mr. Haxxegan moved to lay the resolution on the table. He however withdrew it, and proposed as an amendment, that each delegate should pledge suppor to the nominees of the Convention. Mr. Cole objected to the practice of cheering. He thought it should bo first settled wLo were to vote on preliminary questions. Mr. Hannegak withdrew his substitute. The Telegraph.- We have waited, day and night, ia hope to be able to receive the Baltimore nomina tions by Telegraph, but as yet nothing has come. We ehall probably receivo the news by railroad this day, and if so, it will appear in the weekly. V are indebted to Dr. Dunlap for the following telegraphic slip from Richmond : Richmond. May 21, 1849. 0 o'clock, A. M. Dr. Dunlap: Jude Beice chairman. After warm discussion two thirds rule was adopted. Alarm arose that the gallery was giving way. In jumping windows many were hurt none killed. Alarm produced by cracking of benches. Afternoon occupied with epeehes on report of committee on credentials laid on the table. Two barnburners address the convention to-morrow respecting claims. Adjourned till to-morrow. Richmond Clerk. Testimony trom an Opponent. We are indebted to the "Vermont Patriot" for the following letter from Mr. Lawreuco, one of the most extensive dealers and manufacturers in wool in America. We beg the attention of the wbigs and the country to the revelations of his experience: Lowell, Mass., Feb. 10, 1849. Mr dear sir : Your very kind and interesting favor of the 27th ult. duly came to hand, and should, if practicable, have received an earlier reply. The business of wool-growing in this country is destined to be of immenso importance ; and I am firm in the belief that within twenty-five years we shall produce a greater quantity of wool thaa any other nation. You ask, "Is the present heme demand supplied 1" There is not enough annually raised in the country by 10,000,000 pounds to meet the demand of the manufactories. You ask, "What countries can we export wool to?" &c. This country will not export wool regularly for fifteen years ; for the reason, that the consumption will increase as rapidly as the production. I can point out articles made of wool now imported, which will require thirty millions of pounds, of & medium and fine quality, to supply the consumption. The business of manufacturing wool in this country is on a better basis than ever before, inasmuch as the character, skill, and capital engaged in it are such that foreign competition is defied. A very few year.?, and all articles of wool used here will be of home manufacture. Now I beg of you to keep the wool-growers steady to the mark. Let them aim to excel in the blood and condition of their flocks, and the day is Dot far distant when they will be amply remunerated. I shall always have great pleasure in bearing from you. and remain yours, most truly, SAMUEL LAWRENCE. Henry S. Randall, Esq., Cortland, New York. It is worthy of note (says the Vermont Patriot)! that ilr. Lawrence has no idea that the present rates of duty on wool will be changed for the present, and las no anticipation mat tne tarin oi win oe restored. It is worthy of note, also, that Mr. Lawrence xpresecd the opinion that "the business of manufacluring wool in mis country is on a better oasis man ever before!" And this under "Bob Walker's freetrade tariff!" Late and Exciting from Oregon. Bloody War commenced by Indians Four Battles fought Fixe Hundred Whiles against Two Thousand Indians Presbyterian Mission attacked Dr. Whiteman and Family murdered Despatches for the Government. LonsviLLE. May 20, P. M. By the arrival of Major Meek, late and exciting news has been received from Oregon. Four powerful tribes of Indians had commenced a bloody war against the white settlers. In January four battles were fought, in all of which, except one, the whites maintained their ground. Five hundred whites fought two thousand Indians, a whole day, when the latter retreated. None of the former were killed, but large numbers wounded. On the 20 ih of November, a most horrid massacre was perpetrated by the Cayuse Indians, at the Presbyterian Mission, at Wai Ilalpa, in Waliah-Wally Valley. Dr. Whiteman, wife, and eighteen others were killed and sixty or seventy persons taken prisoners. The houses of the Missionaries were afterwards burned. Through the agency of Peter Keen Ogden, chief pastor of the Hudson Bay Company, the prisoners were ransomed and restored. Major Meak passed up the river yesterday on his way to Washington, with despatches for the Government, asking immediate aid. Simple Divtsiox We heard a story the other night on the subject of "Division" that we thought "some" at the lime, and never having seen it in print, we are tempted to give our readers the benefit cf it. A Southern planter named P., pretty well to do in the world now, was some twenty years ago, a poor boy on the eastern shore of Maryland. One of his strongest and most marked traits of character was an inordinate love nf nmy. Thi, liwwever, is characteristic of the people of "them diggins," wl.ere they practice skinning strangers during brisk seasons, and skinning one another during dull times. Jiv-due course of time, P. was of age, and thought it about time to get married. - He went to a neighbor ing village, and in the course of events was intro duced to a daughter of Judge B. "Dan? fine cal ." said the embryo speculator to a friend who was gaining him an entranco among the elite. "Very." "How much might Judge B. be worth 1" "Why, about 10.000," was the reply. "And how many children has Judge 1" continued the inquirer. "Only three." "Three into ten goes three times and a third over," mentally ciphered P. Here was a chance a glorious chance and he improved it, too. He made love to the beautiful and unsophisticated daughter of the Judge with all the variations. Stringe to say for he was as uncouth a looking cub as ever went unlicked his suit prospered, and they were married. The honey moon passed off, as all other honey moons do, and they were happy. The bride was lively and chatty, and often made allusions to her brothers and sisters. Startled at a number of names he thought should not bo in the catalogue of relations, one evening at tea, he said : "Mr dear, I thought there was only three of you!" "So there are, by my Ma, btij my Ta's first wife had eight more." "Eleven go into ten no times and nary one our " raid the astonished P., who jumped tip, kicked over the chair and groaned in perfect g"ny ; "J'm sold, I'm asvM I m Ä n itt kenA iKan si it WrnW M ! rVIU IS I ' VI SS U !

WILLIAMS, Secretary. Good. A scene is narrated as characteristic of the mixed gaiety and ferocity of the French character. An ardeut Republican, in addressing a Club, with more than ordinary violence, worked himself up to such a pitch of rage against aristocrats, monarchists, and conspirators against the Republic, that he at length exclaimed, "lhe Republic will not be safe till at least oUU.UUU beads have lauen. lnis proposi tion was received with loud murmurs, and cries of "Turn him out!" but at length one of the members rose and said, "The sentiment ia a noble and patriot ic one. I should like to have a lock of that citizen's hair." Loud applause followed, and the lock of hair was promptly in the hands of the demander. Pres ently another admirer of patriotism expressed a wish for a portion of the citizen s locks, and hundreds iul lowed. The end of it was, that the ardent democrat, who was so anxious for 800,000 aristocratic heads, was turned out of the meeting without a single hair on his cwn. OraTiSACT.

Dr. Braest Having already sold all vour invaluable pills left with me by Mr. Gray, your travelling agent, I wish you would send me a further supply of both kinds as soon as potsible. The demand for them has been so ;reat that I sold out all I kad the first Jortnight. There ism great call for them here, because they have more than met public expectation, 4a performing a curs in every Instance, where they were taken by the printed direction. Tbey have performed wonders in fever and ague, chill lever, dyspepsia, and in one case of liver complaint of l.-n years' standing ! You will consider me a permanent subscriber to the St. Louis Sun.

Dr. Bragg Dear Sir I feel it my duty to inform you that I have lately experienced extraordinary advantaee from the use of your celebrated sugar coated Tonic Pills, in the cure of a desperate attack of congestive chills and fever. My physician gave me up ia despair, and said I could not live nnluts large doses of quinine would rhangethe disease. I could not take qiinine, as it always caused insanity while taking it. While in this condition your local agent called to see me, and iiennaded me to make a trial of your tonic pills; end after perseverine: in their use for a few days, I found myself, much to the astonishment of my friends, rapidly recovering. They neither caused sickness nor made my headache. They are truly a wonderful medicine. I was very near dvins, nd believe my almost miraculous recovery is the r exult of their free and persevering use. They are in great demand in this part of the country, and no family will be without them in their house since they have seen their wonderful effects In my case. Your agent has already sold out the large supply left with him, and now wiFhes me to obtain enough of you to last tbe season out.

"We are pleased to see so wide and thorough a range of research as this volume displays, and the apparent impartiality of the editor in admitting, what has heretofore been too charily done, thai some decisions besides those made within the borders of the old Ptntee, are entitled to consideration. Tbe ed itnr does Dot hesitate to c-kicise positions which he conceives to be erroneous, although fortified by great names, aa will be seen in his annotations. We like hi bold, independent, impartial method of writing , which shows that lie I willing to tmppla with thedimcultioaof his subject. and the occasional contradictory caws that he meets, wall out dodging or evasion, and without obsequiously adopting doctrines (rounded upon edieta, suggestions, and "U seems," because they have hern adopted or feillowed by olhera, without due consideration, and ia framt cf true legal principles. The tendency of such contrilxilioaa, aa we find In tbe volume before us, ia to harmonize the law, lighten the labors of tbe lawyer, and furnih us a ready aulutioo to msny questions which seem, or are in reality unsettled, or that Im uneasy in the books. "The volume before u e does great credit m the editor, U. B. Wallace, Esq.

A considerable number of those sunn have already been dlsniy. ercd in the trap ranges bordering on Lake Sup rior, and aitlna a lew miles or it ; and Iron tbe geological ebaracter of ibe country and the explorations already made, it eaauot be doubted thatmbera equally, il not more, valuable will be found throughout this hole "mineral region." In some of the mines now- worked, copper is found almost pur, and in fact, most of I ha native copper aud ores yield a greater per ceutagetban any other yet discovered tn the world. Silver in also found in considerable quantities. All the necessary msterials for the construction ef fumscrs, and fuel for smeluug. are found in abundance in the immediate neighborhood of the mineral ; and the lace of lue country ia such, that the mine require but little, if any, artificial drainer'and are therefore worked to great advantage. r is rr, the the The climate in the winter, though cold, does not interred operations of Ih miner; in fact, thai season is cmiidvtd imui favorat-le for their operations.
