STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. As vf&s announced, Senator Douglas visited uiir city on Saturday evening. There was much anxiety on the part of otir citizens to see him and hear him speak, and at a late hour the bell rung, and the Oourt-House was soon crowded. The "Little Giapt*' appeared, very much muffled Hp, and in hardly an audible voice, excused himself from speaking, owing to an extreme hoarseness, he having already spoken three hours before, that day.— It was evident to all, that Judge Douglas was entirely nnable to speak, and the crowd very willingly excused him. When he descended from the stand, be received the congratulations of his friends, and soon after, retired to his room. We were much pleased to observe the respect and courtesy extended to the distinguished guest, by some of our citizens, and Mr Douglas himself, must feel gratified, by the marked attention paid him, by his political friends, during his stay in our city.,

After Judge Douglas had retired, the "ball opened in good earnest, by 0. B. Ficblin taking the stand. As soon as Mr. Ficklin commenced, the crowd, as if by magic, saw their man—we seated ourself firmly in our chair, preparatory to a rich treat, and we were not disappointed. If a stranger had entered the Court House door, just as Mr. Ficklin was whetting up his genius to the proper pitch, and swelling almost to bursting with supernatural eloquence, he would have thought, a corpse had been struck into life and motion by an electric spark, and was making fantastic gyrations with its arms and grimaces with its inexpressive features, for the gratificacntion of the quizing spectators who wore looking on the novnl scene.

Gesticulation must hare been brought to perfection in the school where Mr. Ficklin learned to speak, and long continued practice before a mirror, must have taught him, how to so perfectly foreshadow the thought, by the expression of the face, before^ he speaks it tiipiugly from the tongue.

The first effort of the speaker was to show that all but the Old Liners were abolitionists, and that the doctrine of "squatter sovereignty" was to bo the great issue in'56. Upon these two propositions he was energetically eloquent. His thoughts were as closa and as compact as a hail storm, and his reasoning as conclusive as two and two make six.

When ihcsc subjects wore entirely and alto t:'i:fh. exhausted, Mr. Ficltlin pitched into the Know Nothings with a hearty good will Upon this themo the speaker's thoughts became mure and more thrilling—he scaled the UunJo «v.^»»^n«„ nf„t,hp,^a^hfttio and the

As he spoke, the order quaked, and when lip finished wo supposod the entire organization disbanded. The boys saw their game and hissed—a quietus was immediately put to that, by tho speaker announcing the important foot, that snakes hlnsei)—Some 0116 In the crowd fell, and the speaker intimated that it was the ioil Know Nothing, ho hud just demolished.

For almost two mortal hours the speaker entertained the crowd. Here a sensible Old Liner might be seen slily taking his hat, •lipping to the door and leaving—there, democrat who came to hear Mr. Douglas, could be seen wit?! his face in his hands, stndying geometrical figures on the fluor. On went the speaker and out went the audience, until finally but a handful remained.

The speaker evidently saw the uneasiness of the crowd, and eventually announced, he would detain them but fen minutes longer—it was an awful te,i minutes, lik* the slow, lagging advance of the clock to the school boy, when he Is compelled to stand on one leg for a specified time, as a punishment./ The tm minutes howem at last rolled round, and Mr. Ficklin desceuded from the stand—renewed life entered the demolished body of Know Nothingism, "Sam" lifusd up bis bead, and the world moved on,' if/•

l^iffever did onr citizens have soch a rich treat, Itfd if our sister State has tnany such orators, no wonder that her prairies are so broad and so long—the fire of such genius, would burn up each tr»e and shrub, as quick as a beam of light could find access within $uck a brain.

To be serious, we have never heard so bad a political speech as this one—the audience was mair.ly made up of our most intelligent citisens, drawn togsthei to hear Mr. Douglas,— expectation *as high, and lbis perhaps may .have operated detrimental to Mr Ficklin. The

.great desparity between what they expected and what they got, was too gieat, and hence thing became one ridicuious farce.

The Journal of Friday* We must confess we were a little surprised at the character of the leading article in the fournal of last week.

A groveling desire seemed to inspire the writer to a personal attack. The manly disenssion of principle, was too elevated for the swoop of hia-genius, and if by possibility, he could bring us down to his level, and edify the readers of the Journal and Express by a "diatribe" of individual abuse, then his cup of importance would be full. ne"is not so unchar itableas to suppose that en editor may not be a Knon? Nothing and a gentleman, or that he is compelled, necessarily, to be the laughing stock of all his neighbors." We, somewhat differing from the author of the above period, are so uncharitable, as to believ*. that no gentletran, under the existing provocations would have penned such a sentence. None buta demagogue, would have made a fling, so disrepu table to all the feelings that prompt an honorable man.

What we have said above, will not apply to the the editor of the Terre-Haute Journal 'Tis true, we have aright to hold him respon sible for what appears as editorial, iu his cdi torial column, but then there is something within us, which says that he never penned one word of that article, and hcnce, we cannot find it in our heart to blame him, for what an older, and more experienced head is guilty of.

Wm. E. McLean never wrote one word of that leader. Come, Mac, be honest, did you Give the author's name—it would not, perhaps, enlighten us much, but then, we could throw down our glove, aid the public could see who would pick it up. ..

The back-handed compliment paid to our very courteous cotemporary of the Courier, certainly could come from the pen of no one, unless, in his extreme, youth, he had taken a lick at the "blarney-stone," or in his mature years he was a very apt scholar. "Winning blandismentsand distinguished reserve," is certainly not very complimentary to a political editor, whose duty it is to expose the corruptions of the Old Line party and we are con-, vinced, that our friend of the Courier, will not suffer himself to be thus "damned by such faint praise." 't

We have never made "war on the 'furiners' or hunted them down like dogs." We have as much sympathy and respect for the oppressed of other climes, who come here to seek a home beyond the reach of tyranny and oppression, as the writer, tho editor of the Journal, or any other man. We desiie, that the broad aegis which protects, and gives liberty to. a nation of freemen, may ever protect and give free dom to them We have objections, however, to the course pursued by some of those foreigners at our elections, and our objections have been freely and frankly written out in the columns of tho Express, We have seen the lasso by which the Old Line party is led to the ballot-box—we pointed it out, and there it is, where the shoe pinches most.

We appreciate the kindness in the writer, when he says: "For the good of society, and the prosperity of the Express, (to say nothing of the editor's chance of Heaven,) we hope he will reform his style and spirit altogether."

This is very generous advice, but if the word society was stricken out and "the Old Line party" inserted, it would then be as the writer felt, and as for the prosperity of the Express, we hope we will be permitted to take care of that. uautrw iggefS rule America ?rrf^vtr.

IKON FENCE4UOVHDTHE PTIRI.IO ItKs The fence around the Court-House Square, we see is in a very dilapidated condition, and will, in a short time, be entirely insufficient to turn stock of any kind.

It has been some ten or fifteen years since this fence was built. Then, our city va« but a village, and it was thought this improvement decidedly a magnificent one "Since this old fence was new," we have ripened into the constitutional dimensions of a city, and we row think, that our beautiful Court-House Square, should be inclosed by a good and substantial Inn Fence. Certainly, in a few months, the present fence will have to be superceded by a uev»" one of some kind, if a wooden one i* placed there, at the cost of several hundred dollars, in a short time it will have to be again rea 0 4MC

Last night, upon the arrival of tke cars, with a large number of passengers, they were beset with noise and confusion, the horde of Hotel runners, ruffian like, jerking passengers about as if they were common stock. In the midst of the din, a brutal fight took place, at the conclusion of which, the omnibusses with their loads, started, at which moment., some one of these blackguard runners hurled a stone of several pound's weight at the Buntin House omnibus, striking on the edge of the door, and within six Jnches._of.jajEeu.tleinan!a..

Is this the fact? History confirms it, and every days' observation conclusively proves it. We are inclined to think, that this does not applv to all the members of the Catholic persuasion—some, from education and freedom of thought, have long sincc ccased to acknowledge this power, but the great mass in our judgment, even at this very hour, recog-

Can this entire separation from foreign influences, be perfect, when there is an acknowledged obligation to a superior power —a mental reservation of allegiance to a foreign potentate We think not—the American party thinks not.?

If this temporal power of the Pope then, is a part of the creed of the Catholic Church, we are inclined to believe, that no one who hold# to it can be altogether and entirely an American citizen.

Indian war.

Telegraphic dates from St. Louis announce the commencement of war in earnest by the Sioux. Travelling parties over the Western plains are continually attacked, their herds dispersed, and depredations of every kind are committed. The Indian crisis on our Western frontiers foretold by Benton two years ago, seems to be at hand. The warriors are congregating in numbers and have sent messages of defiance to Gen. Harney. "They are ready.'' they say, "and they want his horses."

The most energetic action on the part of the administration is now called for. The Indian has his wrongs, but the white man has his rights; nor shall the march of civilization westward, decreed by Providence under the American flag be stayed by the savage.—<Mad Banner>. =====

RETURN OF EUROPEAN CRIMINALS.— Some time in August last, Mayor Wood of New York, received information that a Hamburg ship, the Deutchland [sic], had sailed from that port to New York, having on board a number of criminals, direct from Gustrow. He accordingly notified the agent of the ship there, that he would when she arrived, take charge of those people, and that they should be retained in custody, and thus prevented from adding their number to the desperate char- acters who already prey upon the commu-

An examination into the character of the passengers was at once instituted under the direction of the Mayor. Competent persons were appointed to conduct it. The examination substantiated the reports previously received. The convicts were found on board, and their admissions or affidavits taken, by which their unworthy character was, we are assured, fully established. They were, thereupon, placed in durance until

TEXAS-BATTLE BCTVErN TEX.tIVS AN* INDIANS. On the eve of the sailing of the stenmer Louisiana from Galveston, an extra wa* issued from the office of the Civillian* s'v" ing an account of a bloody battle fought between a company of 111 Texans. under the command of J. H. Callahan, and a party of Mexicans and Indians, on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, near Eagle Pass. The battle w*s fought on the 3d inst. The following account of it is from the letter of Capt. Callahan, dated at Eagle Pass. Oct. 4th*

After nooning it an hour or two, wo marched on towards San Fernado. beyond which were the Indian camps. (lav* ing proceeded some ten milts along the highway to the city, over a widely extended prairie, about three in the afternoon, while marching leasur*ly along, we descried three horsemen approaching us from a mot of timber about a mile to the northward. At first these men were not noticed. we supposing them to be Mexican herdsmen—out on their approaching within two hundred yards of us. we discovered them to be Indian chieftains, ready dressed and painted for bnttle and they were evidently striving to decoy u* f"om our position. Forming my men in a line along the road. I waited for the enemy to begin the battle—for by this time large numbers of them had emer^d from the timber, seemingly, with the intention of attacking us they soon spread out in front of us. and to our right and left, to the am mnt of several hundred horsemen, and

one of my men fired on a chief, about two hundred yards distant, ar.d broke a leg of his horse. Perceiving that the enemy, composed of both Indians and Mexicans, were trying to outflank us. 1 ordered my men to charge, which was executed in style, and 3: of the enemy were slain.

Whilst making our charge, the left flank of our enemy which extended for near half a mile, came in our rear and opened on us a severe 6re. during which four of our gallant men were killed.—The front and right flank on which we charged, after a galling fire, fled before us, leaving us in possession of the position which tt was our determination and object to gain. Then we discovered that our enemy numbered six or seven hundted, as all their footmen were concealed in the timber, and had not advanced in view of the prairie. My men formed in a strong position beneath the bank of a small creek, on which the enemy had been encamped, and their whole force coming up against us, we continued the battle for about three hours, when they fled in the direction of San Fernando, leaving, as wc heard this evening, some eighty-five killed and with the loss ot one hundred trounded. This we learn from some other sources since mv report to his Excellency, the Hon. E.

Pease. The same Mexicans have also informed me that the actual number of our enemy wns seven hundred and fifty men. After retieat of the enemy, which was about dark, we, supposing that they would come on us again before day with large reinforcements, fell back to lhe Rio Grande, where we would be safe from any number of men and any qualilj of artillery they might bring against tis.

Approaching the town of Piedras Neurns about sunrise, we took possession of
