T. Times, 17th. 1 CAUSE OF THE ACCIOEKT. It seems to be conceded by all who are able to 1 form an opinion, that the cause of the disaster was tbe breaking of the rail. There was sulli- I cient indication that something was wrong, to attract the attention of those in the first car, although none of them were seriously disturbed except the last two.

Those experienced in running trains say, tbat although the rail bad broken when the first car was upon it, tbe str.in from the engine in front and the cars in the rear would have been sufficient to keep it in the lice ot the road, and that none of the cars would run off nntil the draft strain had become too slight to keep them in a line with the rails. This, they believe, was not tbe case until the last car struck the broken rail. That then it passed from the track, and in turning down tbe embankment, the second car was drawn over from the rear, and the coupling breaking, it ran down the slope. WHERE TUE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. The accident occurred after tbe train bad passed Utisville, about six miles on its way to Port Jervis, which is six miles further on, and about half a mile from Shin Hollow Station, a place where there are only a few shanties, and where it was impossible immediately to obtain assistance.

lne tracK at this point forms a s.r-iglit line with a down grade toward Port Jervis of about forty-five feet to tbe mile for thirteen miles. When tbe accident occurred the alarm rope which passes through all the cars to where the engineer stands bad broken, the engineer supposing a portion of the train bad parted from him, and fearing that, be being on a down grade, the parted portion of the train would run into if be stopped immediately, continued running slowly for about three-quarters of a mile, and nntil he knew tbat there was no danger from that source. He then ran back, and tbe passengers who were unipjared hastened to the relief ol those who had been less fortunate. The spot is among tbe worst on the road at which a car conld leave the track. On the left side, going from New York, is a high, mountainous and rocky district, along the side of which the road is cut.

On the right-hand side, and but a few feet from the track, there is a deep embank ment of some thirty feet. It was down this embankment the two cars were precipitated. HOW THET WESE KILLED. AU of those wbo were killed, and nearly all of those who were seriously injured, were in tbe rear car. It is stated tbat atl of the dead are bruised chiefly about the head and neck.

It is thought that the last car, in which they were. turned over so suudenfy tbat the passengers were thrown npon their beads. It is also stated that one of the cars turned over twice before it reached the base of the embankment. STATEMENT OP A PASSENGER IS THE BEAK CAB. Mr.

John Beals, a son ol the proprietor of the Boston Post, was a passenger in the train, bound West on business. He gives the following particulars of the terrible disaster, as he witnessed them Mr. Beals left Boston on Wednesday afternoon. and departed on the Erie train at 5 o'clock P. on Thursday.

There were six passenger cars be sides the baggage car, in the traiu. The cars were all pretty well filled. At Turner's Corners tbe passengers stopped to take supper he thinks lou at least tooK tea. Me was a true witn the fact tbat there was an unusual number. The train iett Turner's Corners ou time, and at Otis- ville it was about two minutes ahead of time, traveling prettv fast.

Mr. Beals was in the further end ol the hindmost car, preferring to ride there in order to get a better view of the country as he passed along. He stood np to or minutes near the door, which was open, and while passing around the curves be observed that tne cars vibrated considerably on the track, and it occurred to him more than once tbat the bind car was lia ble to be thrown from the track, going so rapidly round the short curves. Prompted by this feeling, for self-preservation he changed his position and took a 8e.it in the next car forward. It was now just getting dark, and the passengers were arranging themselves for tbe nibt, and many of them were asleep.

Mr. b. himself had lust got into position for that purpose. It was about half- past 8 o'clock, innantiy ne noticed a rumbli sonnd, which was caused by the dragging of the rear car over the sleepers. His next sensation was a violent swaying of the car he was in from side to side, and was next thrown from his seat, his bead Etnbmg the arm ol the opposite seat next he experienced a complete somersault, tbe car having evidently turned once and a-half over, teaving tbe bottom of the car uppermost towards the precipice.

During the descent there was a loud crash ot windows and seats, but be noticed no outcries until they landed at the bottom. He found one of bis legs gra! oed by the hands of a man who was beneath him, and the other wedged in between broken fragments of a seat, so that he could lift move; bis right aim alone remained free, and by this be drew himself up and remained in a comparatively comfortable position for fifteen minutes. All sorts of outcries now rose on the air. Children were erring for mother and father, parents tor their chuuren, and wives and hus bands lor eacn otner. jno one appeared to be able to extricate himself from his horrible posi tion.

mere were no uents, tney having been suddenly extinguished when the cars went over tue precipioe. rom those under tbe wreck, the cries of dis tress from all kinds of voices were heart-rending. The man beneath him appeared to be in great distress. Mr. B.

finally, by the aid of a gentleman who was tbe hrst out ot tbis car. and bad removed a plans, (tbe flooring ot tbe cir.l extricated himself from the mass of rubbish. He was not conscious of being wounded except from the blow on his head. He at once commenced with others who were at hand to clear away tbe fragments of the wreck, ia order to ex tricate those beneath. He first pulled out a lady, and wun tne assistance ot another person managed to get her upon the bank, which was very Bteep.

There were a great many running to and fro, rendering assistance, and he gave them the credit of acting with much coolness and efficiency. He next took from tbe arms of some person two children befongmg to the lady above mentioned, and conveyed tnem to the mother. They did not cry, and were not seriously hurt. Tbe body of an infant child belonging to this same lady, wnicn was instantiv Kilted, probably by being mrown out oi me window, was lound above tbe car, which had passed over and crushed it The lamentations of tbe poor mother on beholding the mangled remains of ber child were heart-rending. The locomotive was now immediately dis patched to rort Jervis, about six miles distant.

for assistance. Meantime the wounded and dead were extricated, and placed, some ia the remaining passenger cars, and others on the ground along the track. Materials were gath ered, and oonnres iignteo, by wnicn thev were enabled to see the devastation which the acci dent had caused, fortunately, there was spring at the foot of the precipice, which supplied water to tbe wounded, and those wbo es caped injury were constant in their attentions to their unfortunate lettow passengers. After about au hour ihe express returned. brmging four or uve physicians, with medi cines.

and by ll1 P.M. all the oassen gers, with the dead and wonnded, were gathered into tbe cars, when the traia started for Port Jervis. Here they were taken out aud disposed abont among the different bouses, the ousens coming forward with great promptness and hu manely earing tor tbe wounded. Everything was done to alleviate their distresses. Mr, Beals returned to Sew York in the train which left Port Jervis at 7 o'clook yesterday morning, and stopped at tbe St.

Nicholas Hotel. He received several scratches and bruises about the head and shoulders, aud a scalp wound, wnicn was pretty severe, STATSM1NT OF TUB EKV. BE. FBTMB SCKSI AT THC WRKCK. The following grsphio and touching account of the disaster is lrom the pen of the Rev.

E. P. G. Prime, one of the editors of the Xew York Observer. It was written to his brother PiET Jervis, Thursday A.

aL. July 15. Dear Brothsb: The telegraph will inform you of the the terrible accident our train met with last evening, ceartnts place, ne felt -New Yotk in the clock 1 M. train, came on safe ly and pleasantly until about 8 o'clock, when de scending the heavy grade on tbe west side of tbe Shawangunk Mountains, 1 perceived that we were moving at such a fearful rate that I started once or twice with apprehension, knowing that we were on a heavily descending grade. ithin two or three minutes after my tears be came thus excited, 1 leu a concussion as if we were running over a slight obstruction.

Some little commotion ensued in our car, which was tbe fourth from tbe rear. A signal was made to tbe engineer as soon as possible, but we had rnn a mile or more before the train was stopped. We soon found tnat two cars had been detached from tbe train- We ran back with great apprehension, and our worst fears were more than realized. The last two ears had been hurled down an embankment ot forty feet and were completely demolished. The groans and screams of the wounded broke fearfully upon our ears in tbe stillness of tbe evening.

They were nnder the wreck and strewed around the scene of tiie disaster in awful confusion. Tbe moon was shining feebly, and by its light and tbat of a large fire which was soon kindied, the wreck of tbe cars was removed, and ail who were living were res cued. Three hours were spent in getting the suffer ing from beneath the ruins of the cars snd up the embansment, when, with seven dead and about forty more or less seriously injured, tbe melancholy train moved cn to this place. An engine had been previously sent to Port Jervis, which returned to the scene of disaster with surgeons and other aid. All the injured were taken to tbe two hotels tbe Delaware and the fowler House and to-day they are generally doing well.

Among the injured, are Professor i. L. Peet, Vice Principal of tbe New York Institution for tbe Deal sod Dumb, hut wite and child, his wife's sister and several deaf mates. Mrs. Peet sad Miss Barry, a deaf muta, were quite seriously injured, but they are now doing well, and are out ot all danger.

One of the most heart-rend ing incidents connected with tbis melancholy oc currence was the screaming of tbe deaf mates. which could be beard at a long distance, and which greatly aggravated the horror of tbe asene. To detail its incidents would be as impossible as to rehearse a horrible dream. When I reached the car 1 heard a familiar voice, and making my way towards it, stepped in the darkness npon dead man. I soon reached Prcf.

Peet, and found him supporting his wife's head. Both were ignorant of what bad become of their babe or ot any other member of their party of ten. I heard a child's voice on the other side of tbe ear, and rushing around towards it, asked one who bad taken it up whose child it was. The mother frantically exclaimed, It is my child," and pressed it to her heart as if afraid I was about to claim it. 1 soon found the child of my friend, in the arms of a person who was carrying it up the embankment.

The babe was only slightly injured. It was asleep oa the seat when tbe cars were thrown off tbe track, and no one eoold tell where it waa found. One deal mute was reported to be dead, and 1 went, at the request of a gentleman, to identify bim, but he revived, and is doing well. During a 1 the long boars that we were toiling to get the lutfcrer from under the ruins, and np a I It has been reported that the Hon. Horace Mann, President of Anlioch College, Ohio, ia about to leave tbat institution to assume the Presidency of the University at Indianapolis.

Aa tbis report, if uncontradicted, will greatly in jure Antioch College, we have been requested to say tbat it is not true, and also that Antioch will continue as heretofore with Mr. Mann at its head. Its next term will commence about the lolh of September. Papers tbat published tha report above allu ded to, are requested to insert this correction. Prenticcana.

A few nights ago the lightning struck in seve ral places in Washington City. It didn't strike tne treasury ouuaing nowever. There was no metal there to attract tbe electric fluid.

43 M. UIILS A CO. ing campaign are already abundantly disclosed. They consist of three parts, just as the of the gravedigger in Hamlet had branches. They are to lie, to deceive to utter falsehoods.

From highest to from Douglas himself whose only po materials Squatter Sovereignty and Drtd Scott decision contradict each in M-t terms, down to the scribbler who accompanies him and writes magnificent iil.8 the Associate I Tress, mendacity is the beginning and the end, the web and the woof, subsUtuce and the shadow of the whole categorv. The Reception" in Chicago went to demonstrate that all the world's a stage, not a few, if they had seen the chief actor plodding over the gauds from La Porte to Michigan City to wait for. a special train which took the strength out of a two hundred dollar cheek, would have come to the conclusion that St partook largely of the nature of a humbug, The epeech which followed was a re-arrangement of all the political cheats which had become too threadbare for anybody to get votes with. Tne accounts 01 mm performance in the Docouts newspapers, were i se ms heralding thecreation 01 anew piuuj Ii. wus not eaough to estimate theaudieuee twce the voting population of the city, of nativities and all shades of political opinion but the exigencies of the time demand-el that ever body should be delirious with enthusiasm f.r the bald sophistry dispensed that occasion.

This was, of course, designed for loieign consumption. The home market had already been glutted with that kind of produce. But now the plan of operations is reversed that is, turned end for end. The same tactics are employed, with the batteries trained different objects. The original falsehood being dragged over the whole State, and accessory fictions are firing away, each in own line and atter its own conceit, to operate ou the enthusiasm of the masses." Thus Docolas starts on a journey to Springfield, where the clap-trap is fixed for a prodigiou-i demonstration.

At Joliet. and Bloominetcn a respectable number ol persons assembles, a part to greet him, and a greater part to stare at him. He goes through some dumb show and proceeds to the Capital. But the newspaper gentlemen who make a large part of his retinue, convert every sta tion house on the road into a volcano 01 cheers, and every water-tank a fountain of all kinds of spoutaneousncss. This system acts back on the simple burghers of Chicago, who begin to say, Well, Douglas seems to have some strength after all.

He didn't do anj- thing to brag of here, but Chicago is a Black Republican hole and his riends didn't much." The citizens of Joliet and Blooiniugtoa vote their receptions humbugs, but straightway comes a dispatch followed by bulletin from Springfield, hissing with rhe torical ecstacies concerning the triumphant and unparalleled and vociferous and all- fired" demonstration at that point. Springfield itself is unaware the while of anything extraordinary going on in her midst, but rec- sons that the receptions" at Chicago, Joliet were sufficiently imposing to make up for her deficiency and leave something over for the next sta ion. This tomfooleiy is an appropriate adjunct to Evei lasting Popular Sovereignty the Eight of the People to Govern Themselves the Dred Scott dictum, or the right of nigger drivers to govern the Territories in spite of the people-acd other brilliant and harmonious noveKies in jurisprudence which Mr. Douglas has plucked from the bosom of chaos. But let him keep the blow-pipe at work.

We purpose to have a looker on at some of these powerful turn outs and meanwhile we call attention to a report in another column, of the Springfield outpouring, and suggest that our readers compare it with the first Ducolss bulletin that meets their eye from the same quarter. Lawrence University. The initiatory steps have been taken for the establishment of an institution of learning of a high character at Lawrence, Kansas, says the BtpuUican, to be under the immediate control of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. Toe school is designed to be of a high high moral and religions, bnt not sectarian character, and to go into operation early in September next. Tbe trustees and directors are elected, and the trustees are instructed forthwith to proceed in the erection of a building, about 36 by 60 feet and to stories high.

This building is designed only as a wing of the main buildings, which are expected to cost not less than fifty thousand dollars. Dr. Miner, CoL Blood, and G. W. llutchioson been appointed bj the trustees a committee to solicit contributions in tbe Territory, in money and lands.

A lady of great energy is already in the field, at the East, raising funds, and her reports show that the project must and will succeed. Several gentlemen cf wealth and influence at the East, are also at woi k. The following is a list of the Hoard of Directors Kev. Wm. Willsoo, Kev.

27111... Total Tj ..15.73 Chinese Compliments to the American Minister. It stems that before it was known to the Court of Pekiu that Mr. Reed, the United States Minister, had determined to unite with the Minis'eis of other powers in their demands npon the Emperor, a joint communication was addressed to him from (iuvernor-Geoeial Ho and jovernor Chaou the former rui ng the two Kwang, and the latter Ki-angro ot the following tenor "lhat thev tne Uovernor-lieneral Ho and Governor Chaou had received a dispatch from 1 u. Mangier ol Male, acquainting them tbat they had received the dispatch ot the United Mates -Miuist -r that he was glad to see that the American Government had not mixed themselves up with the airgre-ssive proceedings of the English and French Governments at Canton, but had mainbrned a ngiu adherence to tie treaty concluded by the American Government with China, provin? thereby their good faith and honorable feelings lhat as Yeh bad mismanaged foreign relations at Canton, his majesty had dismissed him from Hie aervicc, and appointed Hwaug tsunghan.

Governor General of the Two Kwang and Commissioner of Foreign Affairs at Canton and that Iiwxng had tecived his majesty's commands to bring Canton affair to an amicable un-detstaudinir iu accordance with the priuciples of right and just ce that the American Plenipotentiary should, tiierefore, meet Hwang-tsunghan at Cautou to seitl-any disputed questions and that, as a Chinese Minister ot State, Yu was prohibited from hiving any relations with foreigners, and tiierefore couhl not give the United States Minister a diiect reiily. Probably these illustrious Celestials and their imperial master will evince anything but a heavenly temper, and a like condescending suavity, to the American Minister, when they find that he, too, ret uses to be tieated as an outside barbarian, aud has united in the demonstration of force made by Kngiand, France and Russia.

For SrrriutrIent of TM NEWTON BATEMAN, Of MORUl COUSTY Banking Illinois and Wisconsin. There is much to regret and much that is iudefeniible iu Illinois and WL-onsin bank- ins but the exigencies of the times are so great that we wt be content to bear with present evils, lest in seeking a remedy, wa onmjel tie withdrawal of the meagre money iiieiinies which the West now enjoys. It is certainly time that the banks ia this State, and ia the neighboring State of Wi cousin, were lUt-tiug their business upon a legitimate basis that they were paying specie tWt thev were comnvlliusz those of their number that lk-ve no daces of bu-siuess, to wind up and withdraw lrom the field but the deinaud for Leal acoomraodationB -for a home currency, wia which home balances may be li-q tiJa-ed is so pressing, that it would be an aet of egregious folly to apply the law in its utmost stringency to tuch institutions as do not come fully up to its demands. We have yet haraly begun to recover lrom the effect of the re, uisiou of last year. Industry and economy have done much toward-! paying our indebtedness iu the East, and have materially lightened the domestic burdens which most men have carried but the load is si ill heavy envu'u to warrant all classes in with the most jealous care, what ever promises to lift it off our shoulders at last.

The notes it-mil by the banks of these two States are dmbiless well secured. We can imagiue the occurrence of nothing which will materially detiact from their value as a circulating medium. They lack the easy and ready convertibility of 'New-York and Boston currency, but their basis is sound and, beyond all question, good. Their use may keep up the a es of blils of exchange drawn upon the Atlantic cities, may diminish the net profits of all who ctyal iu general merchandise, or whatever is bi ought to us from the Exst or abroad but, whatever the loss in these particulars, we must cheerfully pay it for the sake of having and keeping a home enrrency that will facilitate the wiping out of our heavy domestic debt. Did the country owe nothing to our Western cities, were our people out of debt on account of their purchases of lauds, did ins farmers have no unpaid aeeou its with the dea'ers in the villages, we migut demand gold it we pleased for whatever we had to sell.

But we are not dealing with by poihetica i cases. AVe accept the facts as we hud them, and recommend a continuance of that line of policy which will bring to all the greatest and most sudden relief. We well understand that iu a few, and we hope exceptionable cases, but little or no real capital is employed in putting banks under our law and the law of Wisconsin, into operation that their notes are represented by corresponding value in bushels of wheat, which have been sent East to pay for the bonds upon which they erebased that the business amounts to nothing more or less than the dividing of llissouri or Illinois bonds into bank bills of low denomina jous and putting them into circulation that they often fill channels ia which better paper or gold would flow. But this main fact still exists this currency is necessary to our local and domestic business and we have by no means arriv ed at that point trhere we can dispense with it and hoye to supply its place with anything that has not more than its dangers and dis advantages. Our friends, then, iu the two States, who are urging us to make war upon the enrrency and enrrency -makers, will see that we cannot comply with their a-Uhps, without duhig violeucc to what we conceive to be the high est interest of those for whom we labor.

We hope that the time Is not far distant in which be able, in behalf of the people of the West, to demand a system of banking-one that iucludes a central point of redemp tiou, ptomtit paymeut iu specie, and all man uer of legitimacy but as long as business is as much disjointed as at present as long as the demand for money for home purposes is so general as long as the people themselves are content to bear with the evils and losses moment to me currency now most used we must decline to add to existing embarrass ments and difficulties, by preaching a crusade, which, if not unavailing iu the end, would be full of mischief in its progress. It is a good rule Let well enough alone The London Time and the Slave Trade Again. Trie London Timrs seems to have been bought np by a joint stock company of African slave auctioneers aud Chinese coolie- mongers. The outcry raised by the late Gulf outrages" furnished it with a text With the bland purpose of restoring the ami cable relations which have so long existed, it several strong discourses against the impropriety of keeping up the Cu ban squadron for the suppression of the traffic in Africans. From this the transition was easy to the indiscretion of molesting that branch of commercial productiveness any where.

Apparently convinced by its own has now become practically the advocate of a revival of the Slave Trade, with the important amendment of including Caiuese and L'imloos in the common prey. Of course it dees not openly avow adoctrine which would go farther iu destroying its influence than all other antagonistic causes combined. Quite likely it would disclaim any such hein ous intention as the immediate reinstatement of the negro traffic among the legitimate ail ing of the earth but when it parades day after day facts and assumptions for the accomplishment of an immediate inconsequential purpose, (euch as the privilege of British captains to 500 Coolies to the West Indies iu vessels which ought to carry only 400), which would apply equally well to the re-opening of the Slave Trade as it existed at the beginning of this century, we say it is a pennissable inference that the latter end is the one bad in view. Only dim cca or knaves prove double what their causes require. In establishing the grave point we have mentioned, the Tims fortifies its position by asserting that the Coolies are destitute of honest employment that the planters in the West Indies are equally destitute of prolnctive litbor, atid tnat the plantations are reverting to their original jungle; that the shores of India and the coasts of China are crowded with a congestion of population that they become pirates tind robbers, disturbing the peaceof their own, and molesting the commerce of other countries that if slavery consists in compulsory work, all laborers are something very nearly approaching to slives; and that Lord Brougham and the Bishop of Oxford (the special opponents of th Slave Trade) go about the town looking through spectacles that have a black man on either gloss.

This is What we call proving too much. Early in the discussion it was stated that tha vessels comolained of for carrying 300 laboters had comfortably transported twice the uumlx of British soldiers. Would it not have been well to have dropped thi matter there, and waited for the facts? The Waverly Novels Once More. Our friends S. C.

Itiursua. June 10. 1858 Fbieso Deas: As yon will perceive by the caption of this, I am still in this place, and will probably remain two months or going to tis mines. It Is useless forepersons to go up tbe river, (Fr zer's) unless they-ro to kill time, and consume their provisions iu waiting until tbe river falls. I do not know as to the general tenor of tne reports tor tne mine?) in snu raueisco; hut one tbintr I will assure you.

and that is. that Cali- turma jlb panuiest aays- could not produce a river equal to razer or ioomp-on s. But tney are, in my estimation, and likewise of most old California miners, not a tithe of what tbis country win yet proance. The only crv is cold irold gold! everywhere. I have seen myself several men who have come back, and in every instance they have done well.

A person of the name of Adams. who went np with us on the Commodore, arrived in tbis place last night. He reports that be went up in company with some six others, several of whom wt re stow-away s. They prospected every bar, and fonnd gold from the mouth up iu wuere icey stoppea to worK a place called mil liar, so named from one of the Dartv. 1 I.

1 iuey uere laooeu, ana Deiore 13 clock they had as high as fifty dollars aoiece bv oannimr. At the present time they had got from upwards each, after paying very high prices tor provisions a period of some six weeks. So you can judge ot the richness of the mines. The gold is very nne float gold. Quicksilver is the great article wanted next to floor.

He says that the order of things is reversed, as compared to gold digging in California. They had to strip off top dirt in some instances while here right in the sand, on top everywhere it pays. No digging has been done deeper than a couole of jeet as yet. it pays wunout going to anv trou ble. This is the first time since the good old days of '49, that an excitement has beeu got np which is no humbug.

Everybody is satisfied. At this place there are from 1.000 to 1.500 men camping around on the hills, with plenty of pruvisiuua, game in aounuance on tne islands, a mitd, beautitut climate, a magnificent bay, with boats and sailing craft dotting its surface; steamers arriving every week, and bringing their living freight to swell tbe number already here. 1 here is plenty A gold in prospect for all, as soon as the rivers tall. What more does a man desire 7 As I write, tbe steamer Surprise has inst ar rived, having penetrated as far as Fort Hope. The trail from tbis place Whatcom 1 to a nnint on Thompson's Kiver, all within our own terri tory, will be completed in the course of ten dava or two weeks.

Pack animals are here readv to proceed as soon as it is finished. Here they will meet wun no impediments to travel, such as tbev will have to meet bv the wav of tha rivm- The journey by water has too many difficulties to contend wilh. Numbers of men (persevering, but rasb, because unskillful) have lost their lives and everything in ascending the river. Others have been shot down by Indians from the banks. (A note for worthy "Lol the poor Indian" philanthropists.) Every one coming should be well armed, as there will surely be a difficulty with the Indians and the more men there are tbe better.

Also, on the trail thev have fonnd (as the Engineers report) gold in every small creek running across it. A party of men have just arrived lrom, the Lummy River a stream oi considerable size, ihey report they went up some thirty miles, when they were stopped by Indians located there, wbo would not allow them to proceed further, with tbe exception of tbe Sub-Indian Agent, who in Reading frtuinexi with the Indian tribes on the bead-waters was allowed to proceed. We for hjs arrival in a day or no. Whilst in the Indian camp they saw nnmUtakable signs of gold abounding in the vicinity. Several of the Indians hsd small parcels of dust, varying from one to six ounces while, from some expressions tbey overheard from Indians conversing, they learned that one Indian had just got in camp, having in his possession about t3, 000 in dust.

This is the cause of their so jealously guarding their inter course with tbe wnites, knowing that when the white man once gets on tbe scent of gold, ha allows no impediment to stop him. This river empties into this bay abont live miles below town and is quite accessible. Added to which, the excitement going on about staking off water lots in front, makes this the liveliest place I have seen lor msny a long This is bound to be a large city but capitalists are wanted men who own property have not money to posh ahead and improve. Come up here lots of chances for a man to make money but yoo can judge for yourself witnyonr vatiiornia experience, what times are. nere, wuen i assure you that it is a perfect i'J and every prospect of its continuing.

We strongly suspect that, it" the facia were known, tha term of bis commission expired wilbia a few days ot the time of his resignation, and as he bad an intimation from Washington that he would not be re-appointed, be thought it better for his reputation that he should resign. Let it be so, if he chooses, for tbe reputation be hss acquired in Kansas will gain him no renown by his resignation.

When banner was brought out and hoisted up, it was discovered with dismay that the words and Breckenridge" were still upon it. This would never do. This was an eyesore not to be endured.

Quick as wink the leaders ordered down the banner; jerking out their jack knives and in their hearts crying with Lady Macbeth, out damned spot," they fell npon and demolished Breckinridge" in a twinkling, leaving only the solitary as a sign of their folly in and their desertion in '53. The Buchanan men in our city became incensed at this summary cutting out process, and in a few minutes boldly and defiantly displayed their banner inscribed with the motto torn from the Douglas flag. But I am digressing. The demonstration took place, and was, in plain words, a signal failure. Even its friends admitted that it was a tame, spiritless affair.

The arrangements had all been excellent the flags waived gaily the cannon thundered loudly in the city and on board the trains along the road the soldiers perspired and the bands played finely but that was all there was of the grand reception." Everything was on hand except the people, who didn't come. All that it lacked of being a splendid ovation was a crowd of some eight or ten thousand voters. The committee of arrangements have not yet explained why they failed to supply this single essential. Tbe day was rather propitious. It was clondy and gloomy all the forenoon, and a smart shower fell soon after dinner but the rain was all over before the train came which brought Douglas, and he made his speech in a grove just at the edge of the city.

When I went to the grove, about fifteen minutes after be had commenced his address, there were altogether, perhaps, 1,500, certainly not over 2,000 people presen, and this number kept constantly diminishing until be closed. It was such an andience as could be drammed np in the city almost any day. The crowd -was composed mainly of residents of the city Republicans and Democrats in about equal numbers, called together by curiosity to hear what Douglas would say. There was a small proportion of Democrats lrom tne country, ltie strangers from a distance were nearly all smali-try politicians, Fouke and Snyder of St. Clair.

I need not give you any particular description of Dooglas' speech. As a whole it was essen tially, and much of it literally the same as that delivered in Chicago. It contained the same assumptions, the same perverseness, the same "Douelasisms.

I here was, in the first place. the same stale and absurd declaration about popular sovereienlv.which, as everybody knows. the Bred Scott decision killed a year and a half ago. then be read bis usual extract from JUin-coln's speech, and insisted that Lincoln was in favor of a war of sections, of abolishing slavery in the States, of destroying State rights, of uni formity, of consolidation, of empire and of despotism. Passing to the Dred Scott decision, he announced himself as its champion and defender, saying that his own private opinion, and the private opinion of every man, muBt bow in def erence to it.

Here the Senator made one new noiot. "It had been stated," be said, "that the "Dred Scott decision deprived tbe people of a Territory of the right to prohibit slavery. "But," said he, withoot stopping to argue "whether or not that is tbe fleet of the decision. "it is but a small matter after all for if the "people ot a territory do not want slsvery, "they will not permit its establishment, although "the law might sanction it tiey will drip it out "of the Territory in spile of the Supreme "decisions! 1 do not give the exact Words, but the substance of the quotation. Now, what would this be but a resort to mob law, and a forcible resistance to the decrees of the supreme Court? let tbe Senator thinks such a proceeding may be permitted, while Lincoln's desire to bring about a peaceable reversal of the Dred Scott decision is "monstrous" and treasonable.

but the great "nub" of Douglas' speech was the "nigger equality" dodge. On that he spread bimselt, with his usual false statements snd talse arguments, tie insisted tbat when Lincoln bad abolished slavery in all the States, be would then give them citizenship, the right to vote, to hold otlice, to become legislators, jurors and judges, and finally to marry white women! Having with great effort' relieved him self of this amalgamation nightmare, be closed by reiterating tbe charge ot an alliance between the Republicans SDd bucbananites in this State. All this harangue created no marked interest or excitement among his hearers. There was no enthusiasm no deep, spontaneous applause. The hurrahs were faint, and tbe clapping of bands principally connnea to tne Keception Committee grouped around the speaker.

Having concluded, Douglas, together with what little there remained ot the crowd, returned to the city. At night there was a little music and some fireworks and so ended the great reception. As popular demonstration it was a gra failure, wanting both numbers and enthusiasm a hollow display of flags, guns and fireworks, which anybody could get np for from three to nve cundred dollars. LINCOLN SPEECH. A few handbills had been posted about the city during the day, annonncing that Lincoln would speak in the State House at 8 o'clock in tbe evening.

There were no clap-trap arrangements to draw a crowd. There was no music, no guns and no nreworss. mere was only tne quiet, simple announcement that Lincoln would speak. But evening came, and with it came the people lrom an parts oi me cuy, until me itepresenta- tives uau was nneo and crowded. Mr.

Lincoln ascended the stand amid the cheers of his auditors, and made a speech which everybody concurs in pronouncing one of bis master enorts. lie always makes a eood speech but on this occasion he was particularly clear and forcible in his arguments and happy in bis illustrations. Starting out with a brief allusion to some of the disadvantages nnder which the Republican party will labor in the coming contest, chief among wnicn was tne present nntair apportion ment of the State, be pt oceeded to the consideration of the Popular Sovereignty' buncombe which liouglas is indulging in, in bis speeches- showing the absurdity of bis pretending to give tbe people of a Territory the right to prohibit slavery, while he at the same time supports snd defends the Ured Scott decision, which denies them that right showing that his rant and bluster in favor of the right of each State to establish or abolish slavery, a right which nobody ever naa ueuieu, ina wnicn niooau probably ever would deny, was a ridiculous Quixotism and showing up his impudence in claiming for himself all the credit for defeating the Lecomp-ton Constitution, and giving the Kepublicans, who bad live times as much stock sshe invested in the partnership, none ot it. ComiDg down to Douglas' attacks on his speech, or rather on his (Lincoln's) poeilioris, as be calls them, he stated that Douglas imputed to him views and principles wsrrauted neither by his language, nor any rules of inference be bad already once explained this, in his Chicsgo speech he hoped tbe present would be sbout tbe last allusion he would have to make to the matter but he would give Iouglaa one more opportunity of knowing that he misrepresented bim, snd that if Douglas continued so to misrep resent nim ne uiu so wujuay sou pereericty. aa next loot up isougtss attacx on rjisilon coin's) opposition to a decision of the Supreme Court, and arraigned the Little Giant on the same charge, vv hen tbe Huprerne Court de clared the United States Bank constitutional.

the whole Democratic party, with President Jackson at its head, bad opposed that decision. Ever since Jackson's time the Democratic party had continued to make war on that decision. He had himself, otten snd over again, heard Judge Dooglas denounce tbat decision. The Cincinnati Platform opposes tbat decision, and Douglas, in endorsing that platform, this daw makrt war on a standing, ynrtrtrttd decision of las is for decisions when they suit bim, but auainst them when they do not. Mr.

Lincoln went on to state that tbe principal object of bis speech before the Convention in June, had been to show, expose and charge a regular plot, combination and conspiracy on the part of the Southern fire-eattrs, the Administra tion and the Supreme L-ou-t, lor toe purpose of nationalizing tbe institutioo oi Slavery. Oouvlas, although he admits having read that speech carefully, has not denied tbe charge. He now took occasion to renew tbat charge, and also to express bis belief that Judgs Douglas was not only privy to the plot, but one of the cuici cuuspiiaiuro. But I have not room to demriha nv further. From the few points given, however, you will see mjm ik was mere wisny-wasby declama tion, it waa iuii oi soita argument, lull of cans- tic criticism, full of pointed, illustrations.

It must be read to be appreciated. It will certainly make the Little Giant wince when be reads it Lincoln occupied about two hours and a half in making it, yet tne audience listened with ger interest, snd without a single sign of weari ness during the whole time. As the speaker made his various points, tbe ball was made to ring again and again with the applaose of his hearers. The meeting adjourned wilh three vociferous cheers tor Lincoln. Yours, Sjlxgamuic.
