HE OTTAWA SrPBEXE COCttT pabii, JOH.Y BROWX'S WAE. Jttclitctncjs, witnessed in many of our cities on last BUU.U, feller from Hon. C. CoaV them that had planned the mode of consummating his murderous intent. But it is over, and the voice of the fallen angel hails with ex-atic delight an addition to its nivriads of hell-infatuated demons.

But it is all over, and Charon has his cars all set and his sails to the breeze Railroad to Plke'a Peak. From the Rocky Mountain News. We shall expect to see before the adjournment of the approaching Congress some action looking to the early commencement of this great enterprise. (Pacific Railroad) either by Government aid or in the chartering of a private company which will undertake the work. Already this middle point on tbe route is fixed, almost as indissolubly as is the Eastern Western terminus New York on the Atlan or San Francisco on the Pacific, which will in any event, the real termini of this great national route.

The road must pass through South Platte gold fields, and this, our consolidated city at the eastern foot of the Rocky FRIOAT, DECSiLBEB 9, 1S39. i "II. fi OF THE If. Y. TBIBtSB.

We take it that miiiois Republicans havo had enough of the ZViiiiMe' dictation; and that, hereafter, they 'will go their own way, utterly regardless of the sneers and criticisms of Mr. si ble opportunity, nd understand the law was aArcely signed before the money waa takes to Uttawa and put In a bank taor." Tbe truth is, the law was expressly framed bo that the money could not be all drawn at one time, nor could it be drawn faster than it was necessary to be used in the construction of the building. The clause reads as fallows: Said sum shall be subject to the order of the Commissioners heretofore appointed by larw to superintend the erection of said building, upon the presentation of which order the Auditor of Public Accounts isoirected to issue bis war-rut upon the Treasurer from time to timt it. nch twin, a toy 6t Meeuary to be HjaZut tA ctmatructitm of said build H. or Uls associates, who seem to have taken UioaTairs of Congress and the Republi can party uuder their scanty wings.

Until the Trilunt clears itself of the imputation of beg it, for decency's sake, to be a little mor modest in its pretensions I It is not, by a long shot, the only Republican paper in the cst'on. We ktioiv nothing of, and caro less for, Mr. G.V quarra with Mr. Kellogg; but we d3 know thai this Is not the first time that the Tribune 's arrogance and impudence have merited rebuke. If Mr.

K. will send a shot for each shot received, we shall be content His last struck between wind and water; let us exhort hiui to Sre another at the same place i nuuy. nat win it avail tor us to declare in our party platforms that we will not molest the institution of slavery where it now exist when such demonstrations of "sympathy" aa cannon firing, and speech-making, are made upon the deaiu of a man who has slain Southern citizens in their own streets, for the purpose of liberating slaves, and when columns of eulogy upon him appear in papers professedly Republican And here let me remark that 'it has been a source of gratiheation to me, and I believe to all right minded citizens in Chicago, that tbe Press and 1' rib ant has been free from reproach in this respect. May it continue to labor for the advancement of true Republican doctrines, and to combat the incendiarism, which, had it the power, would plunge the country into civil war. In conclusion I exhort all Republicans and all Republican journals, if they would not see ultimate defeat come upon us, to frown down i tuese attempts to convert the party into am abolition organization.

Let us remember that We owe our strength to our judicious opposition to slavery and to our freedom from the faaat Cal doctrines of abolitionism. Let us think no candidate for the Presidency, who reco'rnizes any "higher law" in the government of our country, than the Constitution; none to whom their attaches the least taint of nltraism. Thus shall the Republican party be made the true National parly of the country, our principles win lasting victory, and the storms of evil now threaten to break upon our fair land, dispersed and succeeded by the sunshine of a sion Loveb. Tor the Press and Tribune. A Day-.

Sojourn at SunnySIde. was a sunny September morning that I out from New York in an early train, on a toSnnnyside and its lata honored proprietor almost the last of the great literary lights witnessed the dawn of the nineteenth century. Of his eminent cotemporariea who ushered in the reign of the last of the Georges, but trio remain DeQuincy, Landor and Paulding and they full of years, trembling on the horizon's verge, ready to be gathered to their fathers. Arrivad at Irvington I procured the ouly ve-hicle'the place could boast of an old, shaky, two-seated, box wagon, drawn by a steed bearing a striking resemblance to Geoffrey Crayon's description of tbe charger bestrode by the enraptured pedagogue on the occasion of the famous gathering at Mynheer Van Tassels and in due time set down at the porch of Sun-nyside, pleasantly situated on the banks of the where its owner thanked God be was born. mansion is a graceful combination of the English cottage and llutch farm house, covered with ivy brought from Meirose Abbey and embowered amid trees and shrubbery.

A venerable weathercock of portly di mensions, which once covered the Stadt-Hoasfj New Amsterdam, in the time ot worthy teter Stuyvesant, erec's its crest onjthe gable of edifice, and a gilded horse iu full gidlop, whilom the weathercock of a valiant buri omas-ter of Albany, glitters in thesuushiDe" on a peaked turret over the portal. From the tranquil and seclued abode is visible the Tappaan Zee and the picturesque Palisades, and various paths lead through shadowy walks or to points commanding hue views of river scenery. Near by murmurs a musical stream. A more charming retreat for a poet's age it would be difficult to find, independent the thousand delightful associations that enhanced its beauties to the mind of Washington Irving. The simplicity of the interior arrangement struck me as characteristic of the simple and unperverted tastes of its owner, and its cottage ornaments were suggestive of his delightful pictures of English country life.

Enteriug by rustic doorway, covered with climbing roses, and passing through a tiled hall, you enter the drawing-room, a low rooted apartment, on the walls of which hang Jarvis' portrait, painted when Mr. Irving was twenty-seven years of age, engiaving ot oru picture ot bcott and his friends at Abbottsford, together with several others, and well filled wiih parior furniture, a piano, and tables covered with books and magazines of the day. The tumily consisted of the bachelor author who had "no termagent wife to dispute the sovereignty of the Roost" with him, his eldest brother Ebenezer, ten years bis senior, a nephew, Pierre M. Irving and his wife, and two nieces, daughters of the gentleman above men-tiooed. who were ever ministering- to the Slightest wish of their honored uncle.

Children cuuid not have been more kind and considerate to a parent, nor a father to his daughters than was the warm-hearted old man to his nieces. As I sat at his board in the dining room from which is seen tbe majestic Hudson with its of sailing vessels and steamers, passing up and down, and heard him dilate upon ths bygone days and the giants that were in the earth then af his friends, Scott and Byron, of Hoore and Lckbart, of Prof. Wilson aud the Ettick Shen and as the old man pledged the health of kiifsibtk and guest, it seemed as if a realm of romance were suddenly opened before me. He told us of his first meeting with Sir Walter Scott, so graphically described in his charming essay on Abbottstord, and his last, in when the great Scotchman was on his way to the continent with the vain hone of restoring his health, broken down by his gigantic efforts to leave an untarnished name and a fantastic mansion and the broad acres that surrounded it to a long line of Scotts of Aljbotsford, with various ancestors of those above mentioned, and other notabilities of bygone days. In replv to mv inquiry as to bis opinion of the poetry of the) present day, he said he ignored them all.

He read no poetry wriiten since By ron Moore ana Iscott s. He alluded in terms of the highest admiration to Motley's His tory of the Dutch Republic, and in the same conversation complained that there were a great deal too many books written now-a-days about Creation, and places, and people, that when he was yonug no one knew, or wanted to have any knowledge of it whatever," and that it was mor ally impossible for any mortal to read or digest one-nan oi tnem. i Alluding to a iournev be bad made the previ ous season, during which he passed Hyde Park, the residence of a nephew and other relatives, without stopping, he remarked that his haste to sit under his own roof-tree again overcame all natural feelings of affection," and alluded to an event that occurred nearly half a ce- tury since as having taken place but a handfull of years ao." Returning to the drawing-room, Mr. Irving sat down in his tavorite seat, a large well cushioned and capacious arm chair, and as I called his attention to Faed's picture of many of his old friends, and asked his opinion of it and its cor rectness, he leaned his head on one band, as represented in the admirable portrait prefixed to the illustrated edition of the Sketch-Book," and with the same dreamy look, surveying it lovingly, replied that they were mostly old familiar faces, and some of them well done. Scott's, Wilson's and Campbell's being the best," and spoke of Prof.

Wilson being a noble looking man, with a considerable resemblance to onr Audubon." His sanctum sanctorum was a small room. well filled with books, neatlv arranged on the shelves, that extend completely around the room. In the centre stood a table, with a neat writing desk, on which, seated in the well-lined easy elbow-chair, Geonrv Crayon had written many of his modem works, including his Life of Washington." His hours for literary labor were in the morning, but, said be," unlike Scott, I can do no work until I get breakfast, and it is between breakfast and dinner that I do all my writing. He appeared much grati lied at my allusion to the fact that Niagara and Irving were the two topics connected with this country in which I found intelligent English men, or rather lirttons, most interested during my sojonrn there the previous season, and also to mv allusion to a letter written by Scott to his friend John Richardson, of London, dated Sept. 22, 1S17, a few days after Irviug's visit to Abbottsford, in which Scott says When von see Tom Campbell, tell him, with my best love that I have to thank him for making me known to Mr.

Washington Irving, who is one of the best and pleasantest acquaintances I have made this many a day." In strolling over his charming grounds, we came upon those of his princely neighbor, Mr. Moses 11. Grinnel, who married a niece of Mr. Irving, and which are kept in the most pertect order, when he remarked that "My place in its rough and unbroken condition sets oil finely my neighbor Grinnei's and on my replying that I thought it was precisely the reverse, he indulged in a quiet langh, and looked very much as it he auite aereed with me. On our return we found a party of five ladies and gentlemen, under the escort ot a relative.

who had come up from New York to see lied-rich Knickerbocker and his loved domain. Upon returning trom a ramble over the grounds and those of Mr. Grinnel with the Southern party and the Misses Irving, I found Mr. Irving upon the front porch gazing over the river and the distant hills, at the setting sun, tbe tout tmem- hU presenting a fine scene for a painter. I shall never forget it.

The mild, dreamy, and happy expression of that old man's countenance aa he sat with his shawl aroand him looking over the broad Tappaan Bay at the sun's departing rays. I never saw him again. Among a few precious souvenirs received from authors whose friendship it has been my privilege to enjoy, there is one that possesses more value in my eyes than any than ail the others, and that is avolume entitled the 'Sketch Book," on a fly-leaf of which is written To J. G. from his friend Washington Irving, September 13, 1S57." On a beautiful spot overlooking the famous "Sleepy Hollow" aud commanding a lovely view of the river and scenery he loved so well, bv the side of his mother's crave, repose the remains of Washington Irving.

It will be the Stratford and Pryhuger Abbevof America, and to that spot the grave of the Morning Star of American literature, wno more propely than the creat Mantuan might have assumed the proud device Primus eyo ia Dittriam, will many a pU-grim foot wend its way in the years and ages to corns. J. G. W. Tbe Kidilne XtnalneiM A Case In itaUiuglttia Ceuuty, Trom the Nashville (111.) No excitement, as we are informed, was created at Kith view, in this county, on Monday last, by the arrest and subsequent release, through the interference of a little knot of Abolitionists, of a fugitive slave.

As we are toid, the negro was arrested and taken before Geo. T. Hoke, a Justice of the Peace, who decided that be had no authority to either release or commit him to prison, but recommended that he be sent up to this place to be dealt with as the authorities here might see proper. In accordance with this suggestion, the parties who made the arrest, accompanied and assisted by Esq. Hoke, placed themegro in the back, then about starting for here.

At this juncture the rescuers suddenly surrounded the hack, threw open the door and commanded the negro to get out. This the fellow was not slow in doing, and a squabble between the parties arresting and those desiring the release, immediately ensned, which resulted in the gaining possession of the negro bv the Abolitionists, who immediately spirited him away to part unknown.

This is the prevalent opinion, wenn" derstand, of intelligent slave owners.

It is certainly the most probable solution of the mystery of euch unheard of quantities of anonymous gra, purporting to emanate from Abolitions' ts." The motive is an obvious one, as all alarms and panics, ot whatever kind, tend to render negro property very uncertain, and thus increase, indefinitely the gains of the despicable class alluded to. GIFT OP A BIBLE FR01I OLD JOHN BROWN. Old Brown yesterday sent lor Mr. J. E.

Blessing, a merchant here, a generous and noble-hearted man, who has been extremely kind him, in dressing bis wounds and paying other attentions, and requested him to accept as a token of regard his pocket Bible. Mr. Blessing thanked him for this token of regard, but suggested the propriety ofjhis keeping it a few days longer. The edition is the common Bible-class edition, bound in calf, and of the cheapest description. It bears upon the fly-leaf this dedication To Jno.

F. Blessing, of Charlestown, With the best wishes of the und-vnuntdand sincere thanks for many acts of kindness received. There is no commentary in the world good in order to a right understanding of blessed book, as an "honest, child-like and teachable spirit. John Brows. CharUstotcn, 29th November, 1859." Upon the opposite page is the following inscription Brown.

The leaves were turned down marked by him while in prison at Charles-town, Va. But a small part of these passages, which in the most positive language condemn oppression and violence, are marked." Many hundred passages, which can by any possibility of interpretation be tortured into a support of his peculiar Vaeory, are carefully marked, both by having tie corner of the pages turned over, and by being surrounded by heavy pencil marks.

G0Y. WISE'S MESSAGE. Richuoxd, Va-, Dec i. Both Houses of the VirginiaLegislature were organized to-day. Th Governor's Message reviews the Harper's Ferry affair at great length.

It speaks of the "jirit of fanaticism and the one idea of the Ab olitionist which nas seemed to madden tne wnoie masses of one entire section of the country which enters into religion, education, politics and prayers, courts of justice and legislatures which has trained up three generations in mor in social habits of hatred to the masters of African slaves in the United States, but turns not uDon slavery elsewhere which has sent comforts and counsellors, and would have sent rescue to the assassins, robbers, murderers and traitors whom it has sent to felons graves. Lnless the numerical majority willciase to vio late the confederate faith, and cease to disturb our peace, to destroy our lives and property, and to deprive us of all protection and redress. unaer pervenea tonus ana uisiuneu worhjugs the Union, we must take np arms. The issue is too essential to oe compromised anymore, we cannot stana sucn insults ana outrages as these committed at Harper's Ferry, without suflennsr what is even more than the death of our citizens, without suffering dishon or, the death of a State. It is not to be dented that we have many sound and sincere friends in tbe non-siaveholding States, but the conservative elements are passive, whilst the fanatical are active me loriner are lost uimiuisuiug, whilst the latter are increasing in numbers and force.

With regard to the insurgents, the Message savs: It is mockery to call them monomaniacs. The leader himself spurned the plea, and it was not put in upon the trials. They were prompted by the Evil Spirit of incendiarism which demoralized numerous hosts behind them, who now sympathized with their deeds belore the world. These men hired, without themselves incurring the risk of their crimes, and no wonder they sympathise with them even to madness, and that John Brown despised the hypocritical cant of their pretences that be was insane. 06 most interesting leature oi tnis preuaiory war is, that it nas its seat in me critisn rrov- inces which furnish asylums to our fugitives, and sends them and their hired outlaws upon us from depots and rendezvous in bordering States.

There is no danger from our State or the colored people. The slaves lateen reiusea to rase arms, ana the first person killed was a respectable free negro, while running from the philanthropists who came to liberate the black race. In closing the Message, the Governor says We must rely upon ourselves and fight for peace wre must organize ana arm we must demand of each btale what position she means to maintain in the future with respect to slavery and provisional Constitutions, the laws of the United States and the provisions ot our state laws for its protection in our federal relattooB, and be governed according to the manner in which the demandis answered. We are in arms. Let us defend our own position, or yield at once.

Let us have anion and a definite settlement. No more temporizing no more compromising. Tbe other convicts await execution, iney will be executed, unless the General Assembly order otherwise. A JOHN BROWN AROUND CHARLE3T0WN. The Charlestown correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial says As to the negroes round about Harper's Fer ry and Charlestown there can be no doubt but they were deeply interested in the events that have recently taken place, and that many of them looked upon the outbreak, as the lifting of the dark cloud of slavery from their race.

I noticed the peculiar assiduity of the negro who waited on Mrs. Brown at Harper's Ferry. He appeared to be solicitous to let her know that he appreciated her and the cause in which she was sutiering. fits lace was iuu oi smues, ana there was an unmistakable unction even in the manner in which he handled the plates. A gen tleman who was walking to the held where Brown was hung, while he was going out, said that he beard a negro woman who was looking on, sav, as if for his ear she knew my informant feit a degree of sympathy for Brown "God bless you old man.

I'd like to do something tor you, 1 could; Din i cant, ine negroes in Charlestown knew that Ashley of Ohio was a Republican, and believed that he was what they are told by the pro-slavery men Republican's are in favor of elevating the negroes to an equality with the whites. It is remarked, that considering their opportunities, tuey nave a wonderful knowledge of the circumstances sur rounding them. It is believed that many of the negroes did Enow sometningextraorainary was about to happen in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, and a we'll informed and candid gentleman told me that he nad no aouot Drown Deuevea his plaDS were found out, or about to be found out, and struck the blow two weeks at and perhaps six weeks earlier than he intended. This gentleman is convinced that if tbe plans bad been perfected, Brown would actually have nad a negro tor every one oi nis spears, ana would have made his way through the moun tains of Maryland into Pennsvlvania. There is no humbug about the fact of a few barns and stacks being burned about Charles town.

1 saw tbe ashes ot a stack yard where near a thousand bushels of grain were destroy ed. A rumor which I mentioned in my letter of yesterday, of the burning of a barn near Charlestown, turns out to have been false, but it threw the army into convulsions, and there was wild galloping to and fro, and all the fuss and feathers, and fury of folderol. The talk and the habits of the people of Virginia do not correspond very well. They say they have no fears of their negroes, none whatever. They would trust the negroes aa far as they would whites.

And yet they are armed, anxious and vigilant. Why, it is a fact which I know, from my own observation, that when a gentleman starts (or did start a day or two agoi from the Ferry for Charlestown, "he was not prepared to go until he had a belt containing at least two formidable Colt's pistols strapped about his person and then he was glad to have somebody else go along with him positively feeling apprehensions of some mysterious attack along a road as plain as that from Cincinnati to Cum-minsville, when there are two thousand volunteer troops at one end of the road, and three hundred regulars at the other end. One gentleman told me that bis body servant had offered to take a musket and stand in front of his house on guard every night; and this he seemed to think a striking proof of the fidelity of the negro to the white race. But why, if the negroes ill be so true, and are proven by all experience to be so trusty why in that case have a guard in front oi your house at ah The military display at Charlestown does not show all nor 'the half of tbe turmoU into which the State is thrown. There is an universal feeling of uneasiness, a loss ol confidence between man and man.

God knows I do not wish to say anything unpleasant of the people of Virginia. They have treated me with the ntmost Kindness. There was not aa insult offe. ed me from the time I entered until I left the State. On the contrary, I found gentlemen everywhere happy to aid me.

But I must tell the truth of those things which I saw. The State of Virginia is now under a reign of terror. The State Government is squandering money on every hand to get up a military spirit and make a gallant showing of the circumstance of war. An army is playing soldier at Charlestown, masses of infantry and cavalry stationed, and artillery planted as if ten thousand men were expected 'from the North to make war. 1 was impressed tnat tne people of Virginia actually believed themselves to be at war with the whole North.

If they had received a telegraphic dispatch annonncing that Gov. Chase was fittinfr out an armv. and about to come down over the mountains upon old Vir ginia, they would not have tnougut tne movement at ail surprising. I believe a large majority of the men assembled about the gallowswhen Brown was hung, would vote heartily for a dissolution of the Union. They have talked themselves into a madness on the subject of breaking up the government.

They are mad as old Brown. Where the North has a man as fanatical as Wendeil Phillips, the South has a dozen. A VIRGINIAN REQUIEM. From the Richmond New. Dee.

3. ExucTTTO or On Browk. At 15 minntes past 11 o'clock yesterdav morning, this old nefarious sinner expiated his most unholy crimes upon the ga.Iows. He dangled in an element for some time entirely too pure for his loathsome carcass, and stenched the atmosphere with that polluted breath which had given vent to his fiendish purposes. Those limbs, that were made to be governed by thought of such hellish deeds, must have writhed in agony and those eves, while starting from their sockets, could bat too plainly tee the black scroll before to dark the over, for the bis vt we being with our from There mills.

Take had such like the the But the of in the was in on of transier this welcome passenger across the waters of the Styx. But it ia all over, and cold-blooded heart of this would-be destroyer of his own race, is being warmed up, by tbe sulphorous blazes of eternal woe. But it is all and a Union-loving people shout their hallelujahs, and smg their "gloria in exeeliis" the consummation of the Denaltv. Various opinions have been expressed as to disposition of his body after death some contending it should not be delivered over tn friends at the North, others to the contrary. say, let tnem have it, and lor many reasons among tbera not the least prominent is, that could not see the soil of Virginia defiled by the receptacle of such filth horse-manure and guano would reject association it; grass would refuse to sprout in the fertile fields of the valley, and that scavenger of country, the noble buzzard, would be driven our State by the pestiferous stench of his carcass.

Correspondence Phihideiphia Bniletrn.l fUlSCETOS, 11 f. lc. S.

18S9. In the early part of the evening we were aroused by lood shouting and the like, and going to the street, we met a large procession of students, headed by transparencies. The crowd proceeded some distance up the street, bearing banners as "John Brown, the horse thief, murderer, and martyr;" Down with Seward Down with Henry Ward Beecher," and such mottoes, expressing the views of the participants. They bore, aise, two effigies, one of Seward, the other of Beecher. The object of whole movement waato bum these two agitators.

The crowd and noise had cailed out the College Faculty in force, from their snug firesides and we saw some of them at full speed after the main body. Go to your room," was heard on all sides, and cries of Dr." frightened timid, and we saw them running homeward. the powers that be were set at naught, and work proceeded. Having returned to the College, alarge crowd spectators from the town were called out, and front of the College Messrs. Seward and Beecher were consigned to the flames amid groaningaand cheers.

Speeches were delivered, and we could hear the reoeated calls for various leaders in the scene, and the hearty cheers which greeted their sentiments. Such was the manifestation of their feeling, and having accomplished their object they dispersed. As an incident, we heard that one of the Professors, over-anxious to stay the proceedings, wounded in his hat, and bJs honored person immediately endangered. His ambition was, however, checked, and he was led home. REQUESTED TO LEAVE.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Mall of Saturday last says: We learn on very good authority that a member of a mercantile firm in Benton, Lowndes County, has been requested bv the citizens to leave. His name is Greenwood, and he is a partner in a highly respectable dry goods house iu this place. The cause alleged is, that he is educating his daughter (Southern born and reared,) a school of negroes and white children, in Connecticut. If the fact be so, it is an outrage Southern sentiment, which would justify much harsher treatment. A young lady educated among negroes wonld look well' among Southern ladies Only Hear 'I hem.

From the BalKmore Patriot. As the day draws near that Bees the scepter power in the House pass out of Locofoco bands into those of the Opposition, the hoarse cry of W'olf is again heard all the way from Washington through the Herald Administration trumpet, and tbe" country is gravely told that unless the following concessions be made within twenty-four hours after the organization of the lower House, the South will withdraw from the Union. Before we state these alarming demands, we must protest against any attempt to include good old Maryland in this proposed stampede. The old Maryland line shed its blood freely to form and cement the Union, when -it was poured out upon the battle-fields of the Revolution, and she is not now to be drafrrred into secession at the call of maddened politicians thirsting for Federal office. 1.

In view of Otd Brown's mad inroad into Virginia, a special law sha'l be passed by Congress for the protection of slavery in the" Slave States. (Maryland wants no such law she is amply able to take care of herself and all ber iustitutions, and wiil never consent to surrender her reserved rights to a consolidate government). 2. The passage for a law for reimbursing Virginia out of the Federal Treasury, all her expenses incident to the John Brown business. (This would be nothing more than fair, if amended so as to make Mr.

Buchanan, Mr. Floyd and his brother Secretaries, pay the amount out of their salaries, for cot stopping the raid, when Mr. Floyd had it ia bis power to do so). 3. If these demands be not complied with, then the SouflW Senators errwi members to withdraw and repair to Richmond, or some other toTntVm a Southern Independent Confederacy.

need not be reckoned on, in the p'erpetration of any such high handed treason, that's tsertain.) 4. In anticipation of this event the leaders in the movement have already prepared a pro-grame of onerations, including addresses, outlines of treaties with foreign powers, and military arrangements for encountering the power of the Federal Government. (Maryland will be found, under any such improbable circumstances, where she his ever stood, loyal to the Union oi her nrsi ana last love.) O.nlt Hear Them A Political Slander Dissected. The English Earl of Derby has lately been made the target of violent newspaper assault for his treatment of his Irish tenantry. It has been charged vpon him that he has ejected large numbers of tbe tenants on bis Irish estates, and put them and their families to great distress, for political reasons.

The charge was serious one, and wag repeated with so much Eerntinacity, and copied wiih so much readiness the opponents of the late Premier, that he has thoueht proper to make a statement of the facts. Tbe charge, and the same bitter commentary, have been repeated in the American jonrnaig. The Earl's statement, made in a public speech at the Liverpool banquet, shows that nothing conld be more undeserved than the obloquy of which he has been made the object. It seems that Lord Derby has, in tbe county of Limerick, an "outlaying" property that is, a property not belonging to the body of his estates. There are eleven or twelve tenants on it, of whom seven or eight are tenants by the year.

Upon that property there was a respectable and useful tenant who had a worthless sub-tenant. Bv tbe order of Earl Derby's agent, this man ejected the under tenant, and for that act he was murdered at noonday," in the most brutal manner. "He was first shot through the bead, the bodv was then brutally mangled, and tbe head knocked in with stones." "This was done in the presence of a number of the population." The murdered man was a Catholic. The Earl took steps for the discovery of the murderers, but fruitlessly. He is satisfied that one or more of these tenants at will were of the party.

For tbe purpose of eliciting the truth and enabling him to act upon it, he caused notices to be served on all of the tenants at will, so that when the time for ejectment arrives, he will have the legal power of turning out those or any of them against whom he should have evidence to convince himself of their criminality. He has ejected no person, and only holds over a number of persons suspected of being accessories to murder, and known to have connived at concealing murderers, the power of selecting for expulsion such as he may think sufficiently identified. This transaction', which is meritorious and merciful, has been gaxeited in the I rush papers as a tyrannical expulsion of hundreds of innocent families from their homes. Tbe 1 art stated, that so far from having exerted his ttower as landlord against hiB Irish tenants who did not vote with h'm, be has ten ants on these estates personally attached to him, who have been openly voting sgainst him for thirty-six years.

It becomes, then, an important question to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the several routes leading from the Western States to this point, and from here westward. The Platte Valley has. no doubt, the advan tage in every respect, being the shortest, most direct, has the best supply of building material, and the easiest, most regular and uniform grade any route across the plains, or, in fact, in the world. From here westward the route may deflect a little to the north, passing through the Cache-a-la-Poudre Pass of tbe Black Hilts, crossing the Laramie plains, and entering the great basin through Bridger Pass; or it may continue from here directly westward, entering the mountains by tbe Piatte Canon, following up that stream the junction of the Noithand South Forks, thence up tbe North Fork to the South Park, cross a low mountain summit, and thence down the waters of the Colorado into tbe heart of the great basin. This route we consider entirely practicable, presenting less obstacles if we except the first fifteen miles of the Platte Canon and even there they are not at all insurmountable than have been overcome on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and traversing the 1ST gold filed in the exact direction of the great leads, and its greatest known length, for a distance of not less than five hundred miles.

For hundreds of miles through the mountain region on the route indicated, the profile of tbe country is fullv dscribed when we say 'hilly'; but few elevations attaining the prominence of mountains, the valleys and slopes are rich in grasses, prolific in fruits, and abounding with inexhaustible forests of pine, fir and cedar timber, presenting a most vivid contrast to the barren and desert plains that surround and stretch away from the South Pass, which, whilst we admit their practicability as a railroad route, present but few pleasing features and do ad vantages as tbe home of man. Wre think the estimate fairly within the mark, when we say that fully one-half the country, for over four hundred miles along this route, -on the bead waters of the Platte, (after penetrating the first belt of the mountains) in the South Park, and on the nearest tributaries of he Colorado, will be inhabited and cultivated within the next ten years, an argument which no other railroad route across the continent can present. It now behooves the Western roads those leading through Iowa and Missouri especially to bury their spirit of rivalry, and by some con cert, ui acuuu Bwutc tuts ut a piau vy which all may unite and drive one main trunk line directly to the gold fields at the earliest possible day. Suppose the Dubuque Pacific, Iowa Cen tral, Mississippi Missouri, Hannibal St. Jo seph, and St.

Louis Pacific Railroad Compa nies, unite, and begin immediately the construction of one or two roads westward from the Missouri river, looking ultimately to a concentration of all the above named lines at some point in tbe Piatte valley, say at or near Fort Kearney, and one main line from there westward. By so doing, they wiil secure the right of way, and possession of what will in a few years become the most valuable and important railway route in tbe United States, or iu the world. Even now a raiiroad up the valley of the Platte would pav better than two thirds of the roads in the States. For the past seven months a single track road would hardly have been able to do the passage and freight business that has flown over tl is route, and it is unnecessary to assert that if a road were once built it would do all this immense carrying trade. No man would plod along for weeks and months, to or from Pike's Peak, when he could, at the same ex pense, make tbe trip by rati in less than two days, and the same reasoning will apply to tbe carrying of freight.

Nor is the construction of this road to this Iioint any great undertaking. The grading is isrdly to be taken into account, the bridging is but a trifling matter; timber for the superstruc ture can be found all along the whole length of the route, except lor about one hundred and fiftv miles on the South Platte, for which it can be taken from the mountains bv tbe hundreds and thousauds of unladen teams that are con stantly returning to the Sta es. Had the men and animals that have traversed this route the past season been engaged the same lengtnot time tne construction ot arau- road, we mignt now near, tne snort ot tne loco motive and the rattle ol the trains.

Easteru Extension. It was expected that tbe last rail would be laidon Saturdav last, connecting the Kastern Exteusion of the Peoria and Oquawka Railroad with the Indiana lines, and thence with ail the railroad world. A circular issued by the company states, that road will be "opened the entire distance between Logansport and 1'eoria, (171 miles) under the name of the Logansport, Peoria and llurlington Railway. At Peoria it connects with the Peoria, Oquawka and Burlington Railroad, forming one continuous line between Logansport, Indiana, and Burlington, Iowa, being the shortest yet completed or pro-projected between the East and the West with no change of cars on either passenger or freiuht trains. Through passenger and li eight trains will be put upon the road, immediately upon its completion, and due notice wiil be given ofalne day of opening." As tbe completion of this connection will be an important event in the history of Knoxville, we suggest to onr citizens the propriety of making some appropriate demonstration on the occasion of the opening of the road through.

A large force of men and teams have been engaged for some time in widening and strengthening the levees and encompassing the city. We would not have it inferred from this that we are apprehensive of an overflow next spring, for such fears are not entertained by any well informed person in this section. The levees are already better than ever they have been, but the determination has been formed to render them so broad and high and strong that no one will doubt their entire sufficiency. With this view the force of laborers will "be fully doubled soon Terrible Havoc made by a mad Dog. Un Monday a mad dog got loose in the tub.

and mined and TtRV A. The construction Vt entwortn places upon that clause is synply dishonest and needs no reply. It is not true that the money was brought to Ottawa at or near the time the bill was signed. The bill was signed February lllh, 15i3. The firtt money drawn from the Treasury was in July or August last, after over $5,000 had been actually expended upon the building, when $7,000 only was drawn, the remainder was drawn a few weeks ago, when the building was almost completed.

I don't believe be ever understood that the bill was scarcely signed when money was drawn. I believe the falsehood of his own coining. Again he says The House has not baen finished, and the has no security." The truth is, the Court has been finished, and the Commissioners a bond before a cent of the money was drawn, which is good for a quarter of a million dollars. Wentworth says that the second section is his Eoiicy, and the hrat ought to have been drawn it. submit to any fair man that the money is guarded more carefully in the first section than the second.

Under the 1st section the Auditor can draw his warrant from time to time for sums only as are necessary to be used in construction of the building. ly the law appointing tlie commissioners, they are each required to take an oath iaiilitully to discharge duties cf the appointment, and also to give and also to tile with the Auditor every months, a statement in detail of the amount money expended, and in what manner. Under the 21 section, the Auditor was authorized draw his warrant upon the order of Judge Breese, as the work might progress. If the matter was left in the discretion of the Commis sioners in the 1st section, it certainly was leit the discretion of Judge Breese in'the other. Commissioners whom he assails are William Reddiek.

George E. Walker, H. F. Earns, U. L.

and J. O. Glover. The charge amounts to this That for the purpose defrauding the Treasury of the State, intentionally drew a bill in such a way as to blind e.es of honest Legislators," in order to put money into the pockets of the Commissioners, that they hastened to "Violate their oaths, to improve the chance thus held out to them of showing themselves to be rascals. To support this charge these falsehoods, which every man can see are falsehoods, are strung together without scruple.

Wentworth says 'It shows the enntemr'tlMv small bnsiness of writing ma section for one end of the total in one way and tor another in another." The history of the bill is this It passed the Senate containing only one section. The second section was added ia the House by way cf amendment. I never read it or saw it until it was sent back to the Senate for concurrence. I ask tbe public to look at the statement appended hereto at the law itself to consider the number or falsehoods contained in the i-liprt article the Democrat, and which are perfectly mani fest to any one knowing anything about the facts to consider the reason in the article for the wanton attack, namely, that I am a friend of Mr. Judd, as he says and then determine whether it is Mr.

Wentworth or myself who has been engaged in "contemptibly small business." After the publication of the article in the Daip Vtmocra; Mr. Wentwonh was made acquainted with the facts. Instead of any lair retraction of the charge he had made, he has republished the article in the Weck't Democrat yesterday, which makes it, in my judgment, proper lor me to reply to it in tnis manner.

That the house is now very nearly completed, and we can assure you and others feeling an interest in the matter, that we shall be able to fully complete the entire work without calling for an additional appropriation.

M. Walker and Mr. Earns are absent. ILTHAIS.1I. Eaitora Press and Tribune I write to yoa for the purpose of saying a few words upon the above subject.

And let me premise that-1 consider myself a staunch Republican, have never voted the ticket, and always defend and inculcate Republican doctrines among my friends and acquaintances. Consequently, I have strong desire to see the party of my adoption flourishing through our land; and I indite these lines forthe purpose of entering my protest against the course which many journals, and many persons calling themselves Republicans, are taking, believing that, if such action is persisted in, all true friends of the party have good cause to fear for the continnance of the success which has attended it thus far, in its conflict with oppression and corruption. I suppose the object of the party, to be the confinement of the institution of slavery within its present bounds its exclusion from the territories, and to endeavor to procure its ultimate extinction by the voluntary action of tbe people who now uphold it; in connection with this, reform in all the branches of the Federal Government, and justice to every sec ion of the country. 1 think these are the views of the great body of the Republican party throughout tne country. But what are we to think, when journals, professedly Republican, defending treasonable, filibustering attacks by citizens of one state upon those of another? Kay, not merely defendiog, but lauding such an enterprise to the skies applying to its leaders such epithets as "heroic," "treat," "noble," "martyr When in many parts of the country, a "rescue" of malefactors convicte-1 and condemned according to the laws of a sovereign state, for murder and treason, is openly advised? When ministers of tbe gospel, and professors of the meek and gentle religion of Christ, congregate on tbe eve of the execution of these same criminals to express sympathy and admiration tor them, and even approval of their acts When Northern journals have openly sustained John Brown and his acts, and have thus become advocates of lawlessness, insurrection and disunion Shall these things go unrebuked! Thia raoidism is the curse of our country.

Some, in our section, are not content to oppose African slavery with all lawful meaus. but must advocate internecine war. borne, in the other, not ilistied with sustaining and protecting their interests and institutions, violate the laws by endeavoring to re-open the slave trade, and by advising disunion. These two classes are the worst enemies which the country has; the rabid abolitionists of tbe North no less than the slave traders and "union amashers" of the South. But happily for the country, there is a truly patriotic, conservative feeling among the great body of the American people.

Tiiose at the North who truly wish the country well, do not desire by ill-tiiued and injudicious interference to drive' the people of the Southern states to secession; and, however widely we may differ with them (the people of the South) upon the great subject which is now agitating the country, but that they are but human like ourselves, and their prejudices, formed both by education and interest, are deeply rooted that the opinions and customs of several millions of people are entitled to some respect and that persuasion and argument may elfect much, where senseless, irritating tirades, and attempts to force will avail nothing. Conversing with a southern gentleman recently from Virginia, of much intelligence and discernment, a day or two since, he said, "many southerners, more than Northern people have any idea of, are opposed to slavery and think it a wrong and an evil, but they believe that its extinction must be gradual, and are bitterly hostile to interference in the matter by the people of the North. They will never be coerced. If they could only be induced to believe the declaration of the Republican party, that slavery should not be interfered with where it now exists, but that its extension, merely, should be prevented, and that when the south at some luiure xinio uoum ua ia a condition to abolish slavery, that the North and the government would help them, perfect harmony would prevail between the sections of the country which now stand opposed. But thev cannot believe it when they see iheirbomes assailed by such an expedition aa that of Brown; while a leader so prominent in your party as Mr.

Seward, proclaims to the country, that we have the power to abolah slavery and we will do it." These sentiments are of course not applicable to the whole Southern people, but I believe they are to a majority of them." Now is not this view of the case reasonable. Is it possible for the people of the South to have confidence in the professions of the Re- which be peace. It set visit that a was river The ot the old of a an SEW YOKli CITY ELECTION. The tail goes with the hide.

Scarco one month ago, Tammany Hull, seconded by Watts Sherman 4 of Fifth Avenue Hotel notoriety, perpetrated a series of ilagrant slanders upon the Republican party, in the persons of Senator Reward, Senator Hale, Gov.

Chase, and others. These were tiie Forbes falsehoods. Not content with usicg the original "Forbes" libels, they (the Fifth Avenue gentry), published circular, sta iog that the letters in question were written to CoL Forbes cot by him. And to crown al', the silk-stocking slanderers added that these letters prove condusiv that Senator Seward, Senator Hale and Gov. CLase were accessories before the fact to John Brown's invasion of Virginia.

To this day the charges remain unre traded. They lie as offensively against the Republican party as on the day they were first uttered. If we had been citizens of New York, Fernando Wood and his ragainuffius might hare ducked the whole Committee in the Xorlh River ere we should have cast a ballot for iheir nominee for any effije of public trust We repeat, we are Mr. Wud is elected, since it has been proven that Mr. Opdyke had no chance.

As between Tammany and Mozart Hall we take it there ia as much difference as 'twixt tweedle-dum and tweedio-dee, and not more. Wood and his ga ig make no pretence to respectability. TLe concern over the way puts on much of the geutility which consists in pat3nt-Ieaiiier boots, gold spectacles, and white chokers; but neither Wood nor all of his shoulder-hitting fraternity ever concocted anything unblushingty false and mean as the Tammany Fifih Avenue address, issued just prior to the late State election. We trust the fruits of that rerformauce are sweet to all hands. SESMBLE ADVICE, There is still a leaven of conservative feeling at the South.

of the public men as wall as some of the influential journals of that section are not entirely carried away by ill-blood and tanaticism. Among the latter, tae JTew Oilcans Crescent holds a conspicuous place. It takes a sensible view of existing facts, and prefers such result sua are attainable, to abstractions that can never be realized. In a recent isstu. it classes among the latter the dogma3 of the South and of the Democratic party respecting tuo right to carry slaves into the Territories by virtue of constitutional guarantees and the Dred Scott decision.

All the facts and circumstances, says the Crescent, go to show that such a thing ia impossible in practice, however correct it may be in theory; and it advises the South to secure what it already instead cf expending its strength in eff jrts to obtain tLat which it can never get Says the Crescent: There is neither reason, common sense, or sound policy, in pursuing aoy auch course as this. The '1 erritones, although the common property of the States of the Union, are irrevocably lost to the South. Kansas miizht have saved to the South but for the double-defi-ng, treachery or imbecility, or all combined, of Mr. Bm-hanau. But Kausas is now gone, and with her every chance likely to tiow from our possessions as a nation.

Not another new stave State will ever be admitted iuto the CoiifeJerucy as it now stands, and it is not at ail probable, were Texas divided according to the express terms of the Treaty of Annexation, that the portion of the Territory sep- arated would be permitted to come in if it presented itself with a coustitution allowing slavery. true policy, then, is to secure what we now have, and not waste our strength upon abstractions having neither practical worth nor value. As we stand no chance whatever in the Territories, let as ignore the Territories, and devote ourselves to the work of saving where there is a chance to save. Lot us loon to the border slave Slates to those outpost bulwarks of our threateccd institution and see what can be done there. Virginia has lately been the scene ofa fanatical outbreak.

Maryland is becoming rapidiy free soiiized. Delaware has gone from us altogether. Missouri is going; and in Kentucky, ulong the line of the Ohio Biver, nero property is about as insecure as it we'l cau be. This, we repeat, is sensible advice. It indicates a willingness to return to tbe old settled policy of the government, treating slavery as a creature of local law a State institution only.

It substantially accords with the doctrines tf the Republican party the preservation of the Territories to freedom and free labor, leaving the States in which slavery already exists to take care of it in accordance with their own likiog to retain it if such is their pleasure, er to gt rii of it in their own way whenever they think it desirable. We commend to the Northern allies of the slavery propaganda, the policy advocated by the Crescent. It is unquestionably the best possible course for those to pursue who are sincerely desirous for the perpetuation ot the institution during their natural Uvea. We print to-day a communication entitled "Ultraistn," in which the writer shoots wide of bis mark. If the facts were as he states them, his strictures would be in place; but within the range of our reading and personal acquaintance, we know of nobody, outside of the ranks of the Abortionists, who has justified.

John Brown's acts, how much soever all may havo sympathized with his sincere love of freedom. Prayer meetings, to which the writer refers, were not, as we understand, so many glories of Brown's folly in invading Virginia. They were only a tribute to the man's undoubted honesty of purpose, and acknowledged heroism, All Republicans condemn him aa a fanatic but none refuse to credit him with the possession of certain admirable qualities which always call forth praise wherever exfbit'd.
