W NU AM HUGHES. 2r Dht STEIHEN A. FRANCIS. Responsibility. We aro responsible personally and it every other way for ahve publish." Marshall Co. Republican, Sept. 15. To our intimation of Mr. Matting ley's having been attached to the know irothmg order, he replies in the same pa per dated a3 above, as follows: not the above a er ceedin-rly appropriate prou'ii uuii w emauaie irom one who only a few rears : Lr i . . .... . J. -J Buice puoiisnea 10 me world that the lazy, lousy, Mwuiruiu. ;iae rouowaiomie inuians would hare made better cilzens than Englishmen, unrmansor irisnmen ! all ot whom, witliout CXfeption. he Stigmatized as "a sfulhorR immigrant PAUPER population!" Who denounced the Catholics hoth in his paper and in a fourth of July Oration h i delivered in 1 85.1, as a NEW POPUI.AriU?i thfszti it upon um with no frelinqs of compromise XQ THING TO ACCOMPLISH BUT TO SUBVERT THE PRINCIPLES of THIS GOVERNMENT? and declared that thev !. served tlic unequivocal condemnation of the Natite Americans?" Xow, Mr. Mattingly we want your proof of the above extract as you publish it, or rest under the "Responsibility personally ami tn evcrg other iray," of having published a very snug little falsehood. We saw a similar intimation published a week or two ago, but took little notice of it until its reiteration, and this is all we have to say about it now. For your especial benefit, however, we will make room for your own explanatioi as to your Know-Nothmgism, which follows: "So far from being a Know Nothing ourself, wc could not have becD one had we desired, on account of or Catholic parentage. But, after finding out their prescriptive designs against Catholic? and foreign emigrant?, we came out openly against the order, ard voted the Democratic ticket in lc54, and '55. Had we been tinctured with Know Notliinrrhm, think you, Mr. Eulogist of Ve Pottowatomic, that President Pierce would have appointed us Postmaster at Corydon, in the fall of le55, or that the Democrats in the township in which we then lived would have voted their whol strength for us, the ante year, for magistrate ? How did you 5nd it out? Prostitution of the Press. In all our connections or associations with the Press, we have cordiallv reco". nized, to a certain extent, that the public possessed an unquestioned right to the greater portion of the blessings to bo derived from the glorious lights and truths which it is capable of shedding abroad. In this belief, wo have ever denied the right of licentious and corrupt men to con trol it exclusively for the accomplishment of their own wicked and mercenary purposes, cr a3 a vehickle through whose mighty inflnence, their bitter low and contemptible snappings and snarlings should b? spread broadcast over the world reaching not only the political in and out door circles, but theological, scientific and other more discriminating minds reaching not only the great yt perhaps more careless observing masses but the sanctity of the domestic and social circle, where the youthful and deeply interesting mind which is just beginning to grasp for the moral and intellectual riches of the age in which it should delight to live and "blossom as the rose," arc subject to their contaminating touch. We say we have ever repudiated the right of such characters to the exclusive use of this mighty and noble engine the Press. It is either a public blessing or itjs a public curse, an 1 as the latter, has the Marshall County Republican become. Ever since its whining, sycophantic editor, Ignatius Mattingly, has had any person, place or tiling in this community, at who or which he could suap and snarl, or tcise, he has been the willing instrument in the bands of any party, person or organization under the cloak of a moral (?) independence to do up all ot their dirty work "on- short notice and on reasonable terms," as the advertiser would say. We have care full v watched him. As we loved the Press and its hipjh and noble vocation, and so long near thirty years one of its humble contributors, we felt no reluctance or compunctions in doingrso. It was our privilege if. was our dut; . It must bo the very nature and constitutional make of the man, and it is possible that he cannot help it. Talk to him of higher and nobler sub jects, and he is mum. . Scientific or theological investigations never enter his confused brain. lie has no hih toned or noble thoughts to spare upon the great and exci .ting political questions which do and should interest the entire country. And "when emergencies of the right kind call for the wielding of the "old manV pen upon , the subject of politics at all, he is seldom engaged in it, unless he can , make some .Tile and filthy use of it; thus in his native and familiar element, basely, and unpar dondonably prostitute the Press. Such though not enougn -ia Ignatius Mattingly. We are not wanting in ample proof of , these too familiar truths. Even in the un fortunate domestic trouble between N. R. Packard and his late wife, this ecu tempti ble snapping and snarling old well we "will simply say man commenced the res 'urrection of that lamentable difficulty, before the deceased Mrs. P. was much more

than cold in her grave, simply because Mr. P. teas a candidate for office, whose

success to such office night slightly affeet his own avaricious pocKet; all this too, wnust me Jamenteu Mrs. Lapron whoso i doath we announee this week and who wa3 a sister of Mrs. Packard was on her dying couch and continued in this diny iMUüuipjuiing out tue nappmess ana quiet of his neighbors and fellows for the accomplishment of his own dirty work, after he had notice, that it was not desira11 4 f4i. s f s si i Ole, on the part of the friends of the deceas- . . , 1 . ed Mrs. P., to have her domestic troubles discussed in the public journals. . Where isthe soul of such a man? Does r. r .i. . t v ii he intend to follow the last innocent mortal to the grave with his dirty sheet? Thus we say has this community been cursed with one of those beings we before described, as basely prostituting the Press; and'a3 we first stated at the commence ment of this article, we now repeat; and of such associations we readily w ash our hands just so soon as the nature of things will permit, and turn our attention to the more profitable and honorable calling of discharging our duty as a public journalist, leaving all who are acquainted with him to decide whether wo have given a true description of him or not, and leaving him to continue his hewling about our for mer intemperate n&ous in wnicii we know vre have been unfortunate, as have & i. i i , , many greater and better men than either he or ourself especially HE. P. S. "We have other charges, but our informants have not given us the liberty of mentioning them." San Juan Island Difficulty. Although (Jen. Scott sailed on Monday with his instructions from tin.? country to the scene of apparent disorder, on the San Juan Island about which we have dispatches in another part of this paper yel there seems to be but little if any danger of a rupture between this and the British Government, on account of Geu. Harney's seizure of the Island. We have dispatch es as late as yesterday, and learn that precautions have been taken by every available means to prevent such a contingency, and besides the prompt presence of Gen. Scott, efforts will be made to anticipate his arrival by dispatches by the Overland route, checking any further movements on the part of Gen Harney. Indeed, Lord Lyons, the British ambassador, has manifested the best possible feeling in this affair, and has written to Governor Douglas in such a spirit as cannot fail to facilitate Gen. Scott's pacific endeavors. i Extravagance AgainA correspondent of the last Republican, over the vsry funny signature of "Scrutator," finds fault with an article of ours published a few weeks since, relative to Popular Sovereignty and the Administra tion, and we should being considerably crouued, and not yet very well have passed ever his strictures for the present, but for the fact that his communication came to us in the Marshall (Jounty lie' publican, clothed in high minded, honorable, courteous and argumentative language; a thinj which so seldom occurs in the columns of that paper (except the locals and advertisements) that we wanted all of our readers and ''the rest of mankind" to know it. However Mr. Scrutator, we will endeavor to settle the most important portion of your troubles about the extravagance ot the Administration, with an official statement from the Secretary of U. S. Treasury, of the receipts and disbursments during the short space of one week, and see if you can't believe also that they, are getting along pretty well about the WThite House. Coxditiox of the Treascrt. Treas urer's weekly statement by returns received to Monday, 5th of September, 1859: Receipts... 81503,052 96 Drafts issued 873.G42 21 Increase (329,410 75 Amount subject to draft 4,344216 52 In yours you stated that figures would not lie. Now there they are, and although it seems that the statements are submitted every wesk, the above was the lasl we had received, but we can spare you this one to load your pipe, and although it would be a gratification for us to talk with you on such subjects, we hope you will excuse us this week. The Chicago FireIt would not be expected with our limited space, that we should attempt any thine: of a detailed account of the destructive fire which occurred at Chicago last week. Suffice it to say that it was attended with great loss something iu the neighborhood cf half a million of dollars. One thing is remarkable however, : that considering the large amount of territory which it covered, and the great number of buildings comsumed, that not a single life is reported to have been lost. Mattingly says we sneer at him. Not at all 'sqttire P. M. Ue says too 'hut you appliad the uncourteous epithets of "old man" and "booby'- besides other expressions of a similar character, to us last week." Well, that was too badl But did we know that President Rierceft) had ever appointed you Post Master at Corydon," or that all the "democrats in the township in which you lived," had "voted their full strength for you for squire. : Too bad, too badl

Let the electors of old Marshall come out on that day in unbroken ranks, and cast in their votes for those whose election, in their opinion, will best serve the interests of our county. Weprcsumeall Idoso. We write no strictures upon the Republican, or , . , , n . , ! commendations for the Democrats candidate, wc ; 6;raplv ask all to vote honCBtlj aml considerately, j without fear or favor and if they find in the names ' presented to them, those who have already served the county faithfully and honestly without spot or blemish in their official conduct, let no party spirit or favoritc-ism, influence them to vote contrary to what are the plain dictates of reason in the premises. It is true that some who have a greater flow of envy than sense, rail out against this continuing men in "fat offices," and, with this as a text make paltry appeals to the prejudices of the people. To any man of sense this is sheer nonsense. The onstitution of the state, whoso dictum ought tc be of some weight in this natter, has settled the question how long a man shall be eligible to any office of trust and profit for consecutive terms, if this pro duet of the highest wisdom and intelligence in our state is not capable of deciding wisely ii; this matter then in all conscience appeal to shallow brained babblers, and partisan sticklers. KATHER AN IMPORTANT. THOCGll SMALL Item. We find the following in the North Iowa Times whose Editor is the Post Master addressed, and who had reason to complain on account of the great accumulation of coppers in his office.

Butler, of Lowell, for Gov. and Stephen O Bernis, of Spiingfield, for Lieut. Governor. The following nominations were also made: For Secretary of State, Samuel W. Bowen, of Adams; for Treasurer, Geo. Demarest; for Auditor, James E. Esterbrook, of Worcester, for Attorney General, D. II. Mason, of Dedham. Caleb Cush'.ng, Isaac Davis, Oliver Steven?, and James S. Whitney are chosen delegates to the Charleston convention. It is said that all favor the claims of Senator Douglas for the Presidency.

From Washington. Philadelphia, Thursday, Sept. 15. The New York Herald's special Washington correspondent says General Scott's advices are required relative l the San Juan Island ditHculty, and will bo asked for at a meeting of the Cabinet, which will be held Thursday, for the purpose of reading over the late dispatches from General Harney, and debating on the general bearings of the affairs. In this light General Scott's opinion is considered absolutely necessary by the president. The admin- . istration are a good deal exercised in regard tc the present aspect ofanairs, growing out of the seizure of the Island of San Juan. They are fearful that a collision will take place before dispatches recently transmitted can reah General Harney. LATER. Lieutenant General Scott arrived here this morning. He, in the course oi the day, called on the President and other offit-ers of the government. He. came on business relative to San Juan Island dispute. The prese.it indications aro, he will be ordered thither, the condition of affairs in that quarter being considered such as to require the services of a man of his well knon character for prudence in all his official movements, to prevent a possible collision between the United States and British forces pending the settlement of the question by the two governments, as to the north-western boundary. The leave of absence granted to Commodore Stewart, to enable him to visit Earope, having expired, he has been, it is said, officially informed that it would be gratifying to the . Navy Department if he would resume active command of the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This mark of high respect is in accordance. .with the act of Congress which bestowed on him the title of Senior Flag Officer, in recognirion of his distinguished services and merits, as he never disobeyed ' an order. It is thought that he will not decline the iuyitation now extended him. STILL HATER. - " ' .Washington, Sept: 17.. ,. ; Gen. Scoit left here thi3 p. m. for New York, and will sail on the steamer of the 20th for the Pacific: The present delicate and complicated t tate of affairs at San Juan Island, growing out of General Harney's movement, requires great care and caution on the part of our government to prevent a collision. The Presiddnt. in conferring with Gen. Scott in recrard to the matter, suggested the propriety of sending some one there who was less tmpetnout find more prudent

than Gen. Harney. Gen. Scott at once informed the President that he would gc, and as soon as instructions were prepared ho would be ready to start. The inptructions are partly prepared and considered in Cabinet council to-day. They will probably be completed to-morrow and forwarded immediately to New York.

The bridge of the Indiana and Lafayette railroad, over White River, near the city was destroyed by fire on Saturday night. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The bridge will be rebuilt without delay. Arrangements are made for the prompt transfer of passengers and baggage. ——————— From Pike's Peak. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 17. Denver City advices to the 8th reached Leavenworth yesterday. in favor of a Territorial organization. Returns from the mountain districts wore receuved. A large number of miners are leaving the mountains for the valleys, in consequence of the prevalence of rain and snow storms. ——————— Strike on the Erie Railroad. NEW YORK, Sept. 17. A strike of the men working on the New York and Erie tunnel at Bergen. N. J., took place yesterday, in consequence of the non-payment of wages. The laborers obstructed the track and stopped all trains. The military were held in readiness for orders, but, it being impossible to find the Sheriff, the troops were dismissed. The strikers remained victorious. <Second Dispatch> The riot at the tunnel on the Erie Railroad was in full force this P. M. No cars had been permitted to pass, and at last accounts the rioters were hard at work blockading the road more effectually. The through mails have been sent back to this city, to be dispatched on the Hudson Riv er Railroad and Central at noon to-day. ——————— Amalgamation. The following statement of tho Detroit Free Press, though undoubtedly true, is hard to believe, because it comes from a section of country whence the finger of vir tuous scorn has been so often pointed to wards the bjuth: The extent to which amalgamation is carried on in this cityis really beyond the knowledge of nine-tenths of the inhabitants. There are hundreds of families, tho parents of which are of opposite coloi f., and al though the marriage of whites and blacks is illegal and void, yet they live together and bear children. It is a remarkable fact. I that out of all this number, no instance exists where a white man lives with a black woman. They are all white women, and generally the blackest kind of men. - hether philosophers would argue a su perior degree of depravity iu the amiable sex from this stale of facts or not, we are unable to say should think they would be unable to avoid it. The same condition of affairs prevails on the other side of the riv er, to the intense disgust we are happy to add ot all good and loyal Canadians. ANNUAL FAIRS. State Fairs.

The Territorial Question. The American people look to practical results. Discussions upon the abstract powers of Congress and the rights of the people of the territories, however able and elaborate will not affect the common sense view entertained by the great mass of the people upon the question, so far as their domestic affairs aro concerned. There is but little if any difference in sentiment upon the practical issues involved. If the people of a territory want Slavery they will have it; if not, it cannot be forced up on them. Our old friend, Fat Richardson, now editing the North Iowa Times, hits the nail upon the head in the following common sense view of the question. Stale Sentinel. On the Territorial qnestion there is no difference among the masses and but little among the leaders. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise brought about the ear of the Democratic party all tho dissatisfied abstraction worshippers of the country. For a time the Republican party fancied they had a bludgeon which would demolish us, but by degrees, reflection and reason, policy and interest, got the stand, and to day there is not a leader of the Opposition who proposes to restore the "sacred line." Ve care not for by-gones. The question is to be decided now, to-day "What is the best territorial policy?" The answer is unanimuos "Let them settle their domestic policy (Slavery included) for themselves." Every man knows this is the sentiment of the people, and every man also knows this to be the language of th Nebraska bill. If there is no issue on that point, why make it one? Whynot

mark out the same line of policy in thi matter, leave tho Territnis to set.il as th'V miv tho rl. a raster of their wti insti tutions. and tarn o 'r atieuii-m i ilio ilmes'ic affairs of our own, which arc of more importance to us. mm Newspaper Decision. The Supreme Court has made a decision which has an important bearing upon the newspaper press. A controversy existed relative to a charge for advertising, between the Commissioners of Hamilton County and the Fatriot newspaper. It was held by the Judge that "the published terms of newspapers constitute acontract. If work is given to newspaper publishers, without a special contract contravening the published terms, the publisher can charge and receive according to the terms so published. It is not necessary to prove what the work cost or was worth; the publishers have a right to fix the value of their columns, and if so fixed, no other question need be askd. but lh- price thus charged can be recovered. ———<>——— Failure of a Publishing House. The Boston <Transcript> says: the announcement on Saturday afternoon that Phillips, Sampson & Co., had suspended payment, was received with general regret in the community. The two leading members of the firm have died within a few months, and the survivor deemed it best under the embarrassing circumstances in which he was placed, to suspend. The Boston <Journal> is assured that the <Atlantic Monthly> has not only paid its expenses, but a very handsome profit over its cost. The suspension grew out of unfortunate circumstances, well known to the trade, which produced a lack of confidence in the stability of the house. ———<>——— Mr. Kendall's experiment of sheep and horse raising, near New Braunfels, in Texas, has been more than successful, as he himself writes under date of 20th August. He weaned one thousand five hundred lambs in one day, of the average of four months. ——————— Ciiattauquk, N. Y., Thursday, Sept. 15. The frost last niHit has done its work thoroughly m this vicinity. Po,ttoes, and all the vines are cut to the ground. The decree of cold was no great as to form a hard frost on the gru:d. Snow and hail aloo fell darin yesterday. The Tcrre Haute Journal says: We hear of the purchase of quite a large lot of hogs in Sugar Creek township, the other day, at 4 60 gross. A Flourishing Southern State. Georgia is probably the lightest-taxed Slate in the Union. Its State tax is only tothirdi of a mill on the dollar. A man owning 10,000 of properly pays only 36.66 taxes.
