Pjimoutl) Statuier. IfTAsTwifor i Proprietor? Thnrsday Morning Jane 5, 1856, 4. Alcrtiscments to insure inserfcoa.rmistbe handed in by Tuesday precedlthedayo f pub 1 ication. National Ton rcntioa. We had made arrangements to procure, i! possible the result of the Democratic National Convention for this week's pa-

por, but it will be perceired by the fidlowing extract of a letter from the principal Editor of the State Sentinel, that the Tote was not cast before yesterday or to-day. The letter wa3 written at 12 o'clock on Saturday. Mr. Morrison Says: Yesterday showed strong indications that Indiana would cast her vote for Douglas, but I am strongly of the opinion now that a majority of her delegates are disposed to vote for Buchanan. Twothirds of them are here, and upon a fair count I think Buchanan will receive the vote, unless changes are made before the tote be taken, which will probably not be before Wednesday or Thursday. Indiana holds a peculiar position. Ii is admitted that if she leaves Douglas and goes for Buchanan, it effectually defeats Douglas, and secures the nomination of Buchanan. Therefore, the effort is very great to influence the action of her delegation. I do not wish to be considered a prophet, but give my impressionaas circumstances suggest results. It is well known that my warmest feelings are iih Douglas, but I shall feel no mortificatiou if Mr. Buchanan shall be the choice of the Convention.'' New Directory. We ato indebted to neighbor Erans for ihe following tesult of the election held at Rochester on Monday last, for Directors of the Cincinnati, Peru & Chicago tv,r to serve for the ensuing year: Laporte, E. Morrison, Wm. II. Allen, Col. W. A. P!.. ä-: rM.-t. Samuel Burson. Plymouth, Daniel Brown, Peru, Higginson,' Eoehester, A. F. Smith, Cincinnati, M. French. The board did not elect its officers. Pari jism. We have very often heard and heard nnny years ago as well as quite recently good and worthy members of various parties unequivocally condemn the policy cf bringing National politics to bear in unimportant county and town elections; and have thought those persons freqieutly too strenuous in urging those objec tion3. But if any in this community ever entertained such notions, the transactions of a majority of the Board of Comrr)JSs:oner3 for Marshall county, on Monday last, in the election of a Sheriff to fill the vacancy occasioned by. the death ef the lamented John L. Thompson, could but have confirmd their prejudices, as it resulted in a radical change of party opin ion upon this subject, where all the circumstances attending it were considered. On Tuesday of last week, the funeral of our late Sheriff was attended by a very large concourse of our citizens he having died quite suddenly after an illnes3 of but littte over one week. On Friday and Saturday following, a petition (and only one) was passed around and received the signatures of two hundred and fifteen good and worthy voters of Marshall coun tymost of whom were of our best farmersrecommending T. B. Thompson to the county Böardj which was to meet on the next Monday, to serve out the unexpired term of his farther, which would have lasted until October next. He has done, as depaty, almost the entire business of the office ever since the second election of the late incumbent, apparently to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, and the people generally. The u r l r . l -i 1 r. suuuea ueaiu ui uis lawirr, necessarily iru the business of the office in an unfinished condition, and in his own hands as a worthy and fully competent deputy; and it appeared to be almost the entire expresion of public opinion that he should have the four short months in which to close it up, when it was quite self-evident that no other appointee could be come sufficiently familiar with it to do the business as he could do it himself. When the Board met on Monday morn ing last, the came of a more suppliant tool of the party in power, and of those who set the triggers for the beheading of Blackburn Thompson was suggested. without any petion or expression of pub lie opnion whatever; and notwithstanding the honest appeal from those voters of the county, together with others who hid signed no-petition Thompson was defeated by a vote of two to one David Vanvactor for him, and Messrs Gordon nd Champlin against him. The petition recommending Thomp son was signed by members of every par ty, without distinctiou and without re gard to hii political Dredilectiong. He O s r , ., . makes no pretensions to being a devoted Democrat, and unequivocally denies tha ' he ever did, and as openly declares that he nnver will belong to any know nothing organization. We think it aufficient for. the present to simpty state the above facts in the case, as the people are very earnestly

thinking about it for themselves. They constitute the proper tribunal before whom the action ol the Commissioners and future selection of Sheriffs are tobe settled.

riymonth Railroad. We have seldom enpyed a short ridp more than that one tendered us last week by the gentlemanly Mr. Kendall, of the C. P. & C. II. R. passing over that road as far as completed from Li Forte to Walkerton. We were agreeably surprised at the excellent condition of the road, exhibiting great care, and tho exercise of much judg ment and skill in its construction and particularly pleased with the perfection of the machinery and passenger enrs, which are all of the first class manufac ture. Regular trains are now running, in connection with the Logansport stage, for which sen adrertisement. The work on this road is being pressed forward with energj, and before the 4 th of July we expect to hail our neighbors of Plymouth with a Steam Trumpet that will startle the natives. Too much criiiit cannot be awarded the gentlemen who have been engaged in the construction of this Road, for which we have no doubt they will be amply reward ed by the profits which must accrue from it as soon astompleted. La Porte Times of Saturday. Come on. gentlemen. The strings of the Door latches will be out "about a feet." But. about that "Steam Trumpot!" Suppose you just bring a horn with you, if you really wish to "startle the natives." Derlines. The South Bend Forum of Inst Saturday, says; "by advices from Indianspoils we learn that it is rumored that Hon. S Colfax declines a re nomination for Congress. Dsx. D. Pratt, Esq.. of Logansport, is warmly spokea of as the Fusion nominee. John W. Weight and D. G. RosE,.Esq , have also many friends in -the district. Judge Wright drsires the nomination it is said. Mr. Rose, we are inclined tu think, is too national ei ther to desire or to receive it. Nearly twenty dead bodies have been found floating in the Ohio liver, opposite Cincinnati, within the tw i 1 ;st weeks. The London Court Journal don't like it because Mr- Dallas attends the Queen's levees andtlrwing rooms dressed like a sensible man instead of appearing like a clown. The notorious Parker il. French, of Nicaraguan fame, was arrested in New York on the 2lst for tl bt due to Wm. II. Furniss. He was released on giving his word of honor that he would be forthcoming whenever the SherifF should demand his presence. ! The President has returned the bill making appropriations for the improvement of the St. Clair flats, with his objections, tho chief of which is that he regards the improvement as part ofa general system. The Vincennes Gazette comes to us in an enlarged and improved form. It is one of the ablest conducted Fusion pa pers in the State. Political parties were probably never more divided and scattered in the United States than at present; but of all tho diminutive parties in the world, save us from such as will place a puppot where a man is wanted, simply because he is a cringing, sycophantic beggar at its feet for place and power. Tuesday, the 4th day of November next, being the Tuesday after the first Monday of that month, is the dav on which the people throughout the entire country will cast their votes for electors of President and Vice President of the United States. -Miss Julia F. Ford, of Charlestowu. Mass., aged 20 years,' a beautitul young lady, has suddeuly disappeared under ve ry mysterious circumstances. It is supposed that she has committed suicide by drowning. Post Office Rqbbebv at Vincesses. We learn from the Gazette that the Post Office at Vincennes was entered ou Tues day night, and robbed of two mail bags containing letters. The bags were des lined for St. Louis. It is said that a num ber of registered letters were in the bags. No clue to the thief has as yet been as certained. The office was entered through a back window, the thief loosening ihe fastening which held down the sash raised it and got in. naa bb s- a mi i i Divorced. The wife of Col. Jas. H. Lane, one of the U. S. Senators elect by the Free State men of Kansas, obtained a divorce from him at the late term of the Dearborn Circuit Court, on the ground of abandonment, desertion, and other le gal causes. She avers that he sent her home from Kansas among strangers, un provided, for unprotected," and without money to pay her traveling expenses. She is the mother of several of his child ren, and has been for some time support ing himself by keeping a boarding house. It does appear that the Col. is destined to have trouble with all of his domestic institutions, which rather necessarily lead to doubts of his being an actual settler anywKe're. Tue New Albast Ledoek, one of the ablest conducted papers in Indiana, has mhde Us appearance in an entire nev dress.

The publishers of the Ohio State Journal intimate that if they do not shortly sell out their establishment thev will dis

continue the paper. The Journal is the organ of the Fusion party in Ohio, as it was formerly of the Whig party. It has long been a losing concern, being merely a party paper, and having no other quality to commend it than a defense of the men and acts of its own party, without regard to whether they were right or wrong. Si'iciDE. An old and worthy citizen of Miami county, named Eli Pugb,' committed suicide in the woods near his residence one mile from Peru, on the 23d ult, by hanging himself to a sapling. The South Bend Forum talks about issuing a Daily from that office, to be called the "South Bend Diily Forum." We wish the enterpris succese but have doubts whether it will acheive it. None others more than our friend Drapiers. possess the requisite energy to make it go, if go it will at all. Corn is selling at 20 cents per bushel, at Lifayette, and the American says nobody cares about buying it at that. The Terre Haute Journal says, that the body of Mr. Otis M. Grant, who had been missing for some two weeks, whs found on Sunda'y last floating in the water near that place. How he came to his death was not well ascertained. The Odd Fellows took the body in charge and buried it. Crampton Officially Dismissed. Washington, May 23. Crampton was this evening officially notified of the discontinuance of his diplomatic relations as Minister of Great Britain with this Government, and his passports were furnished. Thr Consuls of Cincinnati, New York and Philadelphia were likewisa informed by letter of their dismissal. A notice of the revocation of their exequators will be announced to morrow morning. The President will communicate to Congress to morrow a message, accompanied by documents, setting forth the grounds for action on the recruiting question ond in dismissal of Crampton and the Consuls; also, o message with accompanying documents relative to Central American affairs, and particularly with regard to Great Britain's proposition to arbitrate. It is understood that the exeoutive proposes to arbitrate anv question of political geography which may be ! raised under the Central American Trea- I ty, but declines general arbitration as to its construction. Crooks ChsIIengfs Wilson. - Washington. May 29. Gen. Lane, of Oregon, was the bearer ofa challenge from Mr. Brooks to General Wilson, this morning: General Wilson, it is said, replied that he used the langunge complained of, because he at the time believed and now believes it strictly true, and derrmided ; by the character of the assault on Sarnner. lie says he is not a dueling man, but he will use whatever language ho thinks proper in debate, end if assailed knows how to defend himself. Mr. Brooks has given notice to Gen. Webb that his letter in Tuesday's Courier is satisfactory. All excitement in the matter seems to have ceased, except what is connected with the present challenge. The fallowing are the main features of the correspondence between Brooks and Wilson: Brooks complains thaf Wilson spoke of his nltack on Sumner as coward ly. 'I therefore hold myself at liberty. by this note, to request that you will inform me where, outside this District, a further not will reach you. General Wilson replies, that he char acterized on tho floor of the Senate, the attack upon his colleague, as brutal, mur derous and cowardly. 1 thought so then,' he continues; 'I think so now. I have no qualifications, whatever, to make in regard to those words. I have always regarded dueling as the lingering relic of a barbarous civilization, which the law of the country has branded as a crime. While, therefore, I religiously believe in the right of self-defense, in its broadest sense, the law of my country and the matured convictions of my whole life alike forbid me to meet you for the purpose in -4 dicated in your letter. No apprehensions exist of any assault on Wilson or his friend. Sumner continues comfortable, though not out of danger. av--a - From Washington. Washington, May 29. The views of the President on the enlistment question and ic relation to Central American affairs were communicated to Congress to-day. Mr. Sumner is much bitter to day, having been left under the effect of opi ates during yesterday. His pulse which was previously one hundred and ten, is now down to eighty four. He is not allowed to see his friends nor to read any letters, and though not entirely out of danger, the prospects are that the symptoms of inflamation will bo checked. At a-meeting of the Republican Association last evening several speeches wero made, denouncing in the strongest manner the recent assault upon 'Mr. Sumner, and a committee was appointed to prepare and present, at a meeting to be held on Saturday evening next, resolutions expressive of their feelings pon the sub ject. Messrs. B. B. French, Lewis Clapham and Jacob Bigfelowr were elected delegates to the Republican National Convention. The grasshoppers have ravaged a large district of country in the vicinity of Aastin, Texas. . Whole fiefts of corn have beeu destroyed. Most of the. gardens have been also visited by the grasshoppers, and the vegetables cut down. In addition to this calamity the country has suffered severely from drouth,

The Troubles in Kansas. ' St. Loui, May 27. From an extra issued by the Kansas City Enterprise, on the 23d. and received

here last evening, we lea rrr that Sheriff Jones took nbout twenty merrinto Lawrence, and at his demand, Pomeruy surrendered all cannon and rifles he could get, which were tacked in the streets. Jones requested Eldridge to move his furniture from his hotel. He decliued, and the posse entered and carried most of it into the street. Jones Rave express orders no private property should be injured, and particularly Robinson's house should not be touched. After a portion of the posse was gone, however, the house was burned. During tht excitement, ono man was shot, and nnother accidentally killed by falling brick from the hotel walls. Jones gave Pomeroy receipts for all rifles and cannou surrendered by him. Chicago, May 27. The St. Louis Republican, of yesterday, has a dispatch stating that the artillery were still firing and the fire still spreading at Laurence when the informant left. He also has a letter announcing the return of Robinson, Schuyler and Conway, in charge of the Territorial au-thoriiies.-A mass meetif.g is called here this evening to concert measures for public sifety. Chicago, May 27. The St. Louis De woe rat learns from passengers by the Morning Star, that it was the intention. of Sheriff Jones to proceed immediately to Topeka, which was also to be destroyed. The Democrat has a letter from Fort Leaven worth, dated May 21, statine that a'l term3 proposed by Gov. Shannon had been declined, and the South Carolinians were determined to destroy the town. The report does not state what town 1 Four new public murders had been brought to light. St. Louis. May 28. The Republican r.nd Democrat are full of letters to-day, from which we glean the following additional news relative to the attack on Lawrence! The Democrat's correspondent says that storesand dwellings were indiscriminately broken open and robbed. One man, named Johnson had two thousand dollars in drafts, checks and land-warrants taken from him. Colonel Topliffe, appointed Colonel of militia by Shannon Inst fall, was forcibly dispossessed of his commission, private papers, watch, and money to the amount of $500. His trunk was broken open and his clothes carried off. The house and library belonging to Brown nf tln Herald, wn cat rn fir twice, but was extinguished bv the cili-i 1 zen3. The Republican learns through information given by Col. Brewster, that on the 23J two hundred Fite State men had collected at Lawrence. The garrison at Franklin had gone, and that town was probably attacked by the Free,Statc men on the 23d. It is understood that Shannon will order one hundred U. S. troops to be stationed at Osawotamie, one hundred at Lawrence, and one hundred atTopeka. At Osawotamie, Judc Calo, of iho Dis trict Court, had been prevented from holding Court br threats of violence to the Grand Jury by the Free Stato men. Judge Fair passed through here yesterday, on his way to Georgia. Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican. St. Louis, Mny 23. The St. Joseph's correspondent of the Republican writer, that on the night of lho2lsl May, the house ol Jacob Friend, four miles from that place, was burnt, together with his wife and children. It is supposed they were murdered previous to burning the house, but all is involved in mystery. Friend was a peaceable and orderly man, and there is no reasou to be assigned for the bloody deed. The Republican also published the Constitution of Deseret, recently formed and ratified by the people at a general convention at Silt Like City, Apiil 6. It is exceedingly brief and plain. It says nothing about slavery, announces a free toleration of all religions, and makes uo meution of polygamy. A memorial was adopted asking admission into the Union, and George Smith and John Taylor were appointed delegates to prssent it to Congress. Latest from Kanus. St Louis, May 29. Reliab'e intelligence from Kansas states that eight pro-stavery men were killed on Potawatomie creek, on Friday, the 23d inst., by a company of abolitionists. Three, of the men killed were named Boyle, three other Sherman, and tha other Whitman. The particulars are not given. Ex-Governor Reeder has turned up at Chicago. He escaped from Kansas dis guised as the Jack hand on a steamboat, he left the boat at St. Charles, and trav. eled across the country to Jersey ville, Illinois,' whence he took the cars for Chicago.

Cougrcssioiial. Washington, May 29. Senate 'The bills from he Hons granting public lande to Wisconsin, Alabama, Louisiana and Michigan to aid in the construction of certain- railroads thtrein, were severally taken up and passed; A message was received from the President of th United States, informing Congress he had ceased to hold intercourse with Mr. Crampton. and in making the communication of this fact he has deemed it proper to lay bf fore them the considerations of public duty which have led to the adoption of a measure of so much importance; he accordingly transmits-a voluminous correspondence on the cnMtrf tt

is a dispatch from Mr. Marcy to Mr. Dal las, dated May 27, 1S5C. Mr. Marcy says: "The President has carefully considered the not of Clarendon to Dallas, of April 30, relative to tho enlistment question, and has directed him to present his views thereon for the purpnso of having them communicated to the British Govcrument. .The President is much gratified by the conciliatory spirit of that note by the desire which Clarendon expresses to adjust existing difficulties, and preserve andtrengthen the friendly relations between the two governments; the disclaimer of any intention to violate the laws of the United Stales, and the expressions of regret, that, contrary to the intention and direction of the British government, there Ins been such an infringement, is satisfactory to the Prcsi". dent; and the main complaint, so far es j respects her majesty's Government, is thus removed; but the President regrets extremely that he cannot concur with Clarendon in the opinion that Crampton and the Consuls of New York, Pliiladdphia and Cincinnati are not implicated in these proceedings. Regarding those who haro no connection with this Government he has nothing to ask of her majesty'ß Government, but in the crises of the individuals mentioned he deems it proper that their relations with this Government should cease. In taking this step, however, he does not intend to make any interruption in the diplomatic relations between ihe United S'ate? and Great Britain, but on the contrary is irousnf keeping the two countries upon a irienclly rooting. Crampton s withdrawal was asked expressly on the ground that his connection with the enlistment business had rendered him an unacceptable representntive of Her Britnnic Majesty near this Government, and for the samo Tensnn? the withdrawal of the consuls was likewise requested. These offi ccrs are ell, ns this Government still believes, implicated in a violation of tho laws of ihe U. S. contrary to tho reiterated instructions of their own Government. This complicity did not rest solely on the testimony of Sirobel and Hertz's original letters frcm Crampton and others. The dispatch proceeds to dntail at length the evidence ogninst those British officers. A similar message was sent to ihe House, which was referred to the Committer on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Mason spoke in complimentary terms of the ability with which the ones lion lifts been discussed by Mr.' Marcy. Mr. Cas thought no pretext of war could arise out of tfe dismissal of Mr. Crnmpton, unless England is determined to io to war. Mr. Toombs thought, if the Government was satisfied with the explanation of Clarendon, Mr. Crampton should not have been dismissed. Mr. Cass replied this Government had not expressed his satisfaction with Mr. Crampton's conduct, but with the as.ur ance of the British Government that they intended no violation of our laws. It now had turned out that Mr. Crampton had been active' in violation of the intention aad direction of his own Govern. ment. Mr. Toombs did not believe that England cr her officers had violated our laws at all. While the matter was pending, he did not chooso to argue the question against our government, but he would now say he disapproved of the construe lion which this government had placed upon our neutrality laws. - Mr. Butler thought it would have been better to have dismissed Crampton ns soon as his complicity to the matter was discovered. Adjourned till Monday. House Mr. Cnnpbell. of Ohio, from the select committee, said he had been unanimously instructed to ask-the House to adopt a resolution that the select com mittee appointed, under the resolution of the 22J inst., to investigate the matter of the alleged assault on Mr. Sumner, by Mr. Brooks, present their report, with a journal of their proceedings, nt any time when the House was in session, which shall thereupon bo printed. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Grow, representing a majority of the Committee on Territories, made a report proposing to admit Kansas into the Union with the Topcka constitution. Consideration of this was postponed until the 25th of June. m m The Hock Islasd Bridge. The Rock Islander of Wednesday last learns that great carelessness has been practiced by raftsmen in passing between the piers, and the following we find in tha Davenport Democrat, shows that recklessness to some extent is practiced; Four rafts came down the river last Sunday, and all had the misfortune to get smashed up on the piers, and, as it would seem, almost intentionally. Before arriving at the piers, raftsmen in many Instances lay on iheir oars and let the raft tnke care of itself. There" 6eems to be a desire among the river men to do all they can to make a bluster about this bridge. We shall see how it will terminate. A Convention of , Superintendents of Lunatic Asylums has been in session at Cincinnati during the last week. The next annual meeting is to be held In New York.
