TWKXTV-FIFTH YEAR

We venture the prediction that Jno. C. Fremont will not be thought of for President in 18G0,And tfirtt the Republican party will not be living then, except in the memory of present victors and mourners.—St. Louis Republican.

It is very likely the Republican find the party it co-operates with, would IK? #lad to know of the extinction of the Republican patty, before the next Presidential election. The recent demonstration of the strength of the Republican party has had a tendency to crc-ate a de-

»ire for its dissolution, bv those who have tlie prospect before th'om of being do-! »lU!mPt

At Chicago several large brick buildings and a Church steeple were blown down, and one man killed. At Lafayette, Ind., houses were blown down, roofs blown off, church spires

cut off, and bridges damaged. At Covington a portion of the roof of the Wabash

bridge was blown away, houses blown down and unroofed. A two horse wagon containing two men, and a little boy, five or six years old, was blown off a bridge near town, wagon, horses and all, nnil the little boy killed immediately; one of the men had a leg broken in two places; the other man was also much injured. At Evansville, Louisville and Cincinnati houses were blown down and other damage done. At Dayton, Ohio, the storm raged with violence, and one man was killed by the falling of a furnace chimney.

Di:sPKitADiI« ABOUT. For a week past numerous depredations have been committed in various

parts of the city, in the way of horsestealing, burglary, swindling, and an attempt to rob on the street, by knocking dawn a traveler, but the robbery prevented by the interposition of others.— There is sufficient evidence of the presence of desperadoes among us, and our citizens should be on their guard that they are not knocked over at night,or their houses entered. A few days ago, a countryman was swindled out of §45, by a plausible story of distress, and the offer of a watcli for that sum, which was represented to have cost $100. Of course the watch was worthless, and the man's nicney gone. We understood the perpetrators of this act were subsequently arrested, but there being no one to prosecute, they were liberated and we hear they are now at large in this community.

Indianapolis on Saturday last for Mayor

and City Clerk resulted in the success of the Republican candidates by about 200 majority. Last spring the Republicans were beaten by about 200 majority, and beaten again at the Presidential election by a small majority. This does not look much like the Republicans being a used up party. To be successful so soon after being defeated, is very significant., and shows that the Republicans aro true to

principle and in good spirits.

Because our neighbor of'the Express has been receiving communications from the ladies, talking to hini about "enchanting melody," "two souls," "union" and

"common bonds," he i* disposed to be quite exultant. We wonder he had not more respect for the modesty and "pheelinks" of Col. B. of the Journal, than to allude so publicly to his good looks. As

to the good looks of the Editor of the Express, there are some doubts whether the compliments of the ladies are their real sentiments, or mereceurtesy in return for

82,25 recently invested by the Editor in Oriental Drops," for which the ladies have great partiality. Until that little matter is settled, we shall not feel aggrieved by any slurs he casts over this way.

One of his correspondents, we observe, retains an exordium to her epistles, as faithful as James* ^solitary horseman." She begins with "Passing along the street a few days ago 1 saw a fine looking gentleman," &c. On a recent occasion his countenance was "sicklied

over with the pale cast of thought." As our neighbor still preserves his rotundity, he has cause to congratulate himself that "thought" nourishes him better

than it did Cassius. We are surprised lie can't take "the hint" from these epistles. No doubt the author is a "dear woman." Then why not make her your own ?—don't envy the hoops—fold her

under your white vest—have your friends around you seme morning at 6 o'clock— tike a trip on the cars—return homo to "enchanting melody"—and when the Madame takes up her pen again, with a slight alteration, she can say "Having passed along the street and seen a fine looking gentleman," (fee., &c., she will know the whole story, and be able to make a "record" accordingly.

Evansville A* Crawfordsville Rail Road.

The second annual Report of the Board of Directors of the E. & C. Riil Road, exhibits the road in a prosperous condi

tion. The road is now under good ballast from Terre Haute to White river, a distance of 70 miles, and but little more will be required on it another year, The entire floating debt of the Company is

$ 39,463,65, showing a reduction since last annual report of $130,389,90. The gross receipts of the road for twelve months, from the first of September, 1055, to the first of September, 1856, were $243,970,42. Its expenses were $107,908,42, leaving net receipts -Si 30,061,90.

The average monthly receipts during the year were 320,33J,83. The reports of the Secretary and Treasurer exhibit a gratifying increase in the earnings of the road, whereby the friends of the road may be greatly inspired with confidence in its value.

At the Election in tho 4th Congressional District, Ills., to fill vacancy, Allen received 13,091 votes, and Archer

We asked Keyser what he thought of tho fashion of wearing hoops, by the ladies. He says he is in favor of anything

that will please the "dear creatures," and thinks that so long as land holds out on tho prairie there need be no danger of a want of room but entertains tho opinion that it may require more bridges across the river, to enable gentlemen hard pressed to step over to the other side to make

settlers were permitted, by common consent to purchase the lands claimed by tlifffti at the appraised value and iu cases where there were no such claimants the lots or lands •vere put up ut public sale, and bid off at prices above those fixed by ihe appraisers.

The following extraots are from a letter to the St. Louis Democrat, dated Leavenworth, Nov. 15

The sale of the Delaware tract of bincommences on Monday next at Port LPUV enworth. The first claim put up is in the extreme north-western corner of the tract, and drawing nearer this city which is the last to be sold. It is calculated that it will lake nearly a month to dispose of the lands. 2,000,000 acres are to be sold at public auc tion. All of ihese lands have been appraised by commissioners, at prices rangingfroai §1,25 to $10. The whole averaging Sl.75£ per acre, and all within thirty five miles of this cily. The umouct of money nenesaarv to purchase all of this tract at Ihe appraised valuation is $3,510,000. ft will witliwui doubt, soil at a higher rate than what it is appraised at.

The squatters settled upon thpse hinds ar determined to get their claims at the price fixed by the commissioners, and to allow no one to bid upon them. For mutual protection they have formed themselves into an association, each one pledged to protect his fellovv squatter from being imposed upon by land speculators. Many are the ihreuts they make of personal violence to those who dare make a bid for their land. A free ue of the bowie knife unci rifle is hinted ut, in their public meeting*. It is understood thai they are to attend the sales "en masse," every one armed with warlike weapons.

The settlers without regard to their political opinions, are now united as one, for the protection of each other's interests at the sales.

Several Free Stale men, and I know of one township where there are fifty, who have been robbed during the wars, and are now unable to get sufficient money to pay for their claims when they come into market, consequently many have already sold out to other par'ies. A pro-slavery company, said to be from Kentucky, have puchased several farms of free State men who were too poor to pay lorihem. The South is determined to get possession of as much land as possible here and thus secure one of the best footholds to set the control of the State.

There is already three times the amount of gold necessary to purchase these lands- in this city, brought in mostly by Eastern men.

On the Keystone, I here were five men from Cincinnati, Ohio, who together had $300,000 to invest in the purchase of Kansas soil four other men, from the far East, together had $200,000, all intended for the same purpose.

Another gentleman is reported to have half a million of money, deposited for safe keeping at the fort, to loan to different parties und for the purchase of land.

The proprietor of this hotel, a Free State Kentuckian, informs me that "he knows of persons who have money to loan on good security, at fair rates, to the amount of half a million of dollars."

It estimated that nearly 5,000 persons will attend the sales. Every steamer brings in a crowd. It is said ihat Mr. Russells, of the firm of Majors & Russells, of this city, has paid over to the authorized agent, sum of money to pay for all the Sharp's rifles, and other property taken from Free Slate emigrant on the river, and the rifles taken at Lexington. Mo., are to be returned to their rightful owners. This is an indication of a disposition to back down from their former position, when a few Border Ruffians were going to whip the whole North, and keep Free State emigrants out of Kansas anyhow. The last war has sh jwn the relative strength of both parties, and in every engagement the invaders were beaten and driven back.

It has been found that the "d-n Yankees will fijjht and their enemies (no one doubts their courage when engaged in a good cause) have proven themselves unequal to the contest, und disposed to give it up.

[Judge Lecompte having admitted Hayes the murderer of BufFum, to bail.Gov. Geary ordered the Marshal to re-urresl Hayes.— The Marshal refused to obey the order and resigned his office.]

This cflair is likely to create considerable excitement at Lecompton among the Territorial officials. The Gov. sent Col. Titus out with six men they were successful in finding and arresting Hayes. He was taken to Lecompton for confinement.

His Excellency claims the right to put his veto upon the doings of the Judiciary, if it does not please him, and, like old Jackson, take the responsibility for his assumption of power.

We hear from Leavenworth City, thai thejjtj consequence of my voto iu that city, at sale of ihe Deluware Lands was proceeding? the late Presidential election. I desire to without any dUiurbance whatever. Actual jniBke a correct atatement of the facta.

1 formerly resided in Fair Haven, where my family are now, nnd ever have been, but having myself been engaged for several years past in the commission business in Norfolk, and having paid taxes there, and to the best of my abilities discharged my duties as a citizen of that place, I have considered it iny residence—and in the spring of 1855 I offered to vote at their election, when, upon a full statement of my case to the proper authority, and with their knowledge that mv family were here, it was decided thct I WHS entitled lo vote there, and I did so.

I have never in any way meddled with the subject of slavery—having no inclination, nor, as I believed, any right to dj so—consequently there has been no ill feeling towards me on that account.

Before »he election many political meetings were held in Norfolk, but I did not attend any of them, nor did 1 converse with any one ou the subject, except on one occasion in answer to an inquiry made by a friend, and then for a moment only. But. although neither an abolitionist nor a politician, I examined the subject as a question of duty, for me as well a for every citizen of the United States, and I made up my mind that the election of Fremont would be best for all sections of Ihe country, and determined to vole for him—not dreaming that under our republican government, aid in the Democratic State of Virginia, any one would quesiion my riijht to do so. On the day of election I heard one gentleman ask another ut the Post Office who he should vote for, and ho replied,"For John C. Fremont," and the other said he should do so too. They may not have been in earnest, but then I supposed they were, and I had no reason to doubi that others would vote the same way and in the afternoon I wrote a vote for Fremont & Dayton, and went to the place of voting. My right to vote was again examined, and, on slatement of my case it was admitted, and then, as their rules require, wrote my name on the back of my vole and handed it to the inspector, who, as is customary, read aloud, first my name, and then the names of my candidates. As soon as he declared that I voted for John C.Fremont a large number of voices from the crowd shouted: "Hang him, hang him," and the Inspector handed me my vote, it said, "There is no such ticket voted here—we cannot receive this." I replied, "very well," and took my vote again. Some threats, which in the confusion that took place, I did not distinctly understand, were made by those standing near me, and the presiding officer exclaimed, "Dont't touch this man," and then said to

two persons who were,I presume, pohc »men djgp0gj(j0n

From Washington..

The following extracts are from a letter of late date from Washington, to the N. York Courier & Enquirer:

The Democrats are somewhat exercised over the reputed object of Gov. Wise's visit to Wheatland. As the head of the select band of aisunionists who infest the capital of Virginia, the Governor^ intercourse with the President elect must be regarded with distrust by the more patriotfb members of his party. It is also felt and acknowledged among them, that few men have- equal claims to influence o/er Mr. Buchanan with the Governer, as a long-standing, firm, and efficient friend. For eight years Wise has insisted upon Mr. Buchanan as his choice for the presidency, standing op unmoved in his own State, against an opposition before which most men would have quailed-

If Virginia be brought into the Cabinet, it appears to be the current opinion that her more distinguished names will be paased by, and the Hon. C. J. Faulkner wilJ be selected for the management of the War Department, not only from his experience in the conductof military affairs, as Chairman of the military Comittee, but as least likely to give offence to the Northern Democracy.— Mr. Faulkner was an ardent abolitionist in lS32,but had so far modified his views in 1855 as to claim the authorship of the fugitive act.

The intense cordiality that prevailed during the election between the Pierce and Buchanan divisions of the party has become relaxed. The celebration of the victory appointed for the twenty fifth of this month, has been Indefinitely postponed. The reason, privately assigned, is that it would awaken slumbering jealousies between the brethren already snugly installed around the crib, and those who are hungrily eyeing the fodder from a distance.

It is with surprise that I learn that some credence is given in Democratic circles to the rumor that unless Mi. Buchanan gives certain pledges required of him on Slavery, "Squatter Soverignty," and associated "isnis,'* a portion of the Southern vote may be diverted frotn him. 1 had looked upon the report as merely a clever canard.

The subjoined is from the N. Y. Herraid's correspondent WASHINGTON NO\*. 21, 1856.

Gov. Wise left here to-day for Richmond. He arrived last evening from Lancaster, where he had been staying a few days. It appears he is not altogether pleased with his interview with Mr. Buchanan for a friend informed mc that he cainc back with a flea in his ear. A gentleman who called upon him says he was very" cross, and manifested good deal of uneasiness. He (Tlrise) says that Mr. Buchanan will not arrange his cabinet for two months yet, and that Mr. Buchanan told him he had not even thought about t.

dent elect. They succeeded in frightening him very much, but this very effect produced euch extreme nervousness, that all will, courage and resolution had departed from hrm.

This five-thousand-per-nigger Mr. Wise thereupon flew into a trmeudous passion, left in high dudgeon, refusing to eat a Thanksgiving dinner at Wheatland. He and Slidcll evidently prefer Virginia corncake and bacon to Pennsylvania buckwhcat and turkey.—Philadelphia Times.
