Many papers, in and out of the State, have misrepresented the facts attending the death of Lewis Page by the' hands of Geo.

Ladd, in Hydepark. Ladd's examination was held August 3, at Hyde-park, before N. S. Keeler, disclosed the facts in the case mainly as follows: On Sunday,) July 22, Ladd left home to attend a meeting at one WhitcombVt near Mr. Page's, went to Wbitcomb's and learned that no meeting was to be held, and therefore, went to Mr.

Page's as be bad been accustomed to do, being a crony' of Page's boys, and found them, two sons of Page a young Morse and a young lady, together with other member! of Page's family remained there half an hour and finally took down a gun which laid on a shelf in the room, and began looking it over; presently, Lewis Page, the deceased, commenced i giving off military orders, such as ground arms, shoulder arms, present arms, make ready, take aim, fire 1 Ladd obeyed all these orders rapidly and the last one proved to be a fatal one to Page. Tbe long list of attending circumstances showed, conclusively, that Ladd did not know that the gun was loaded and fact, supposed it not to be the gun was undoubtedly cocked by the cock's catchhgon Ladd's clothes when he shouldered the gun goes off very easily, cocks very easily, and has since been rtpeatedly cocked by raising the gun an I bearing the cock against one's coat. It has been rumored that a young lady was mixed up in this affair, but the evidence clearly showed, that nothing of tbe kind was true- Mr. Keeler invited W. H.

H. Bingham, of Stowe, to sit with him at the examination on Friday last. Tin facts are carefully drawn out and circumstances all carefully explained, and the court discharged Ladd from custody. The prosecution was conducted by R. C.

Then and not till then wiD agitation cease, for the slander ous falsehoods of the democracy will become too apparent for use, and the cry of disunion will cease, the public mind tired and disgusted will turn to the discussion of other and more important interests, while Douglas will be left to grind out upon some poor old organ bis threadbare tune of squatter sovereignty," to be listened to and laughed at by children at the corners of the streets, In the 2d place we predict a retrenched and replenished treasury an impartial exercise of the appointing power, and the elective franchise freed from the corrupting influence of executive interfer ence. For our firm belief in these predic tions we think we have conclusive reasons 1st. Because the sterling honesty of the republican standard bearer is a fact so well established that even his bitterest opponents dare not assail it. 2d. That the republican party taken as a whole, whatever may be said to the contrary, is more honest, having its exis tence more for conscience sake and less from motives of pecuniary interest than any that hns prevailed in this country for many years.

It has not existed long enough lo become corrupt. It is a well settled fact that in this country no party can retain power for any great length of time without becoming, by a regular process, demoralized. And again, the republican party owes its very existence to the coiruptions of the other parties. It is composed of men from almost all shades of politics, who on account of the unsoundness of their respective organizations, have been forced to leave them and join hands in the for mation of a new one based upon true principles of liberty, equality and hon esty, such as burned in the breasts of Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry and others who founded our glorious Union. It was only because the republican party were more honest that they were not more successful than the democracy in 1856.

Had they been willing and they certainly had the means to bny votes and bribe the officers to make fraudulent lists and returns, as has been proved was done in Pennsylvania by the democ racy in 1856, tbey would certainly have carried and other lost states, and Fremont would have been elected. Now it is reasonable to suppose that at least for four years tbey will remain compar atively honest, and if so all other bless ings will certainly be added. At all events should we be in a measure mistaken in our hope, it is safe to say that no worse state of things can by nny possibility happen than has been brought about by the party now in power so that while in the change the people have nothing to fear, they bnvc at tho same time everything to hope 'Lincoln Clcb.

The President seems to be unfortu nate in all his grand expeditions, i His subjugation of the Mormons has ended with leaving them about as tbey were, except in supplying them with the privilege of making money out of our troops quartered in the Vicinity, And now the heavy claim upon which we sent a threat-ning fleet to Paraguay is actually deci-cided in favor of that country and against us. The Washington correspondent of tbe New York World thus states the matter i The Paraguay Commissioners (Hon. Cave Johnson for the United States and Senor Jose Bergs for the Republic of Paraguay) have decided adversely to the claim of the United States and Paraguay Navigation Company.

This is the impotent conclusion to which the President's grand naval expedition sent against Paraguay has come at last. Their accounts were allowed by two committees on foreign affairs one in the Senate and one in the House and Commissioner Bowlin was sent- out with instruction to accept from President Lopez as reparation for damages not a cent less than the amount claimed by the company, and set forth as expended without return in their accounts, namely $500,000. But Mr. Bowlin returned with the business which he was sent out to do, undone. He gained an embrace from Lopez, a magnificent present from Urqui-za, tbe President of the Argentine Confederation, but not a cent of the money he was sent to demand.

It is hardly-probable that the Paraguay company will let the matter rest here though what tbey will do to recover the property which Lopez cheated them out of or bow be reimbursed (or the prospective profits which were almost in their grasp when Lopez concluded that he would like to monopolise them, remains to be seen." The Times' correspondent says President Buchanan was notified on the 27th of July as to what the award would be. He then expressed great dis satisfaction, saying that he had pronounced the claim a just one in his message to Congress. That was because you bad not exam ined replied Mr. Johnson. No honest he continued, 'can examine that claim and approve it for one dollar." The Wakben Homicide.

The following account of the gathering, from tbe Chicago Press and Tribune, we copy to ehow onr readers how tbe masses of tbe people in Illinois ire rallying to tbe Support of the Republican standard and its candidate Springfield, Aug.

8. Tbe Republican demonstration in this city to-day bas been undoubtedly the largest, most imposing: and enthusiastic ever held in tbe United States. A number of reporters for the Eastern press agree ia pronouncing it by far the greatest in numbers and horsepower they ever witnessed. The special train from Chicago brought between four and five thousand persons- The train from Alton brought twenty-eight hundred by actual count. McLean county gent over three thousand, The regular train from the East, on the Great Western Road, brought fifteen hundred, including a large number from Indiana.

The regular and special trains from the West, on the same road, brought over two thousand, including a delegation of Wide Awakes from Hannibal, Mo. Menard county sent a procession of teams a mile and a half in length, including a mammoth flatboat on wheels. Sangamon county was literal ly poured into the city men, women and children. The town of Williamvilhv sent a gigantic car, drawn by sixty oxen, with rail-cuts, mauls, wedges and rail splitters. The counties of Macon, Montgomery, Macoupin, Morgan, Cass and each sent long caravans with banner and bands of music.

Champaign county sent one hundred and eighty teams, with over five hundred men, whot camped out two nights, for the porpece of swelling the great procession. Christian county sent one hundred and three and so on. There were more persons in the1 city at sunrise this morning, than the entire crowd at the Douglas demonstration two weeks ago. There are some fifty Wide Awake companies here in full! uniform. The crowd became almost unmanageable before the hour for forming in the line of march, but having been at last marshaled in order, the procession occupied three hours in passing Mr.

Lincoln's bouse, in a continual stream. It was over ten miles long I Mr. Lincoln stood on bis porch as they passed, and received the uninterrupted and vociferous cheers of the multitude. The speaking took place on the State Fair Grounds, where six platforms were kept at work all the afternoon. Trumbull, Doolittle, Blair, Gillespie, Palmer, Washburn, Judd, Oglesby, Browning, Gen.

John Wilson, Kreisman and several others addressed tbe people, while two other stands were devoted to campaign singing. At 3 o'clock Mr. Lincoln appeared onr the ground, in a carriage with a few friends. An indescribable uproar ensued-The people broke away from all the speakers, "and rushed around the carriage en mas e. shouting and cheering by thousands like mad men.

It was feared that the carriage would be crushed and Mr. Lincoln injured but he was taken from the carriage and borne by the crowd to one of the platforms, where he endeavored to speak to the audience. Several minutes elapsed before his voice could be heard in tbe deafening cheer which went forth from ten of thousand of throats. Mr. Lincoln spoke a few moments on subjects apart from political issues, and then modestly Various estimates are made as to the number of persons here In the demonstration.

What President Abe will do. It is now pretty well sottled that Honest 013 Abe" has the inside track in the presidential race, and that he will be elected. The profligacy and abuse of power which is so justly charged against the present administration, and the absolute moral corruption that pervades most the, entire chain of federal offices the unmistakable trail of the serpent recently disclosed to the nation by the Co-rode investigations, stretching as it does from the great den at Washington, and winding its filthy course to the remotest office bole in the republic; as well as the entire subserviency oi the executive to the unending demands of the slave interest, in utter disregard of it high trust, make the necessity for a change in the administration most eminently apparent. This considered with 'the united and growing strength of the republican party on the one band, and the divided condition of the democracy, on the other con spires to point with well grounded nope, to the speedy success of republican prin ciples. And now let us for a moment consider some of the nappy resulta to the country.

Among these 1st. The allaying of bitter sectionalism and a suspension of the present all ah orbing slavery agitation. i To produce this result only two things are necessary. 1 That southern leaders should understand that the executive cannot be bought nor bullied into submission to southern dictation. 2d.

That the masses of the south should be shown by actual demonstration that the republi cans as a party are not a band of robbers and waiting only for the election of their leader to pour their merciless hordes upon the defenceless southern states, to pillage their stores, bun their rob them of their slaves and murder their wives and daugb- We have no doubt but that a large portion of the 'southern people believe the republican party to be little better than' we have above described, and that John Brown's raid was only a floating straw showing the real current of the great republican party, For the currency of this falsehood and (or its terrible consequences, the democracy all over the country are responsible. uey bave perpetrated and continually reported it for base and selfish purpose, willing (or a few months continuation ia power, and few months longer revel in the public treasury, to endanger the peace and perpetuity of the country. The south not the southern politicians, fr tbey know better the honest masses of the south believing this falsehood, it is not strange that they will not suffer S-r rers nor oar speakers to corns t' by which means we might 1 rcsfon tbem out of this i r.

It appears from the statistics presented at the recent annual convention of the Episcopal churches of Connecticut, that there are in tbe state 118 Episcopal parishes, 133 clergymen, 8,908 families, 11,731 communicants, and the total contributions for all objects last year were $108,803. The secretary of the American missionary board states that there is a prospect that the whole amount ($06,374,) will be secured for the removal of the debt of the board. To meet the expenses of tbe eurrent year $360,000 will be required.

A strange astronomical occurrence takes place during the present month that of two full moons. On the first day of the month at 11 o'clock and 33 minutes the moon's phase changed from tbe first quarter to a full moon on the 31st of this month there will be another change at 2 o'clock 57 minutes, from a first quarter to a full moon. This occurrence rarely happens. Vermont Gold. The gold-diggings of Plymouth still hold out beyond the expectations of tbe most sanguine.

We were shown a specimen, the other day, which was taken from a stream, called Buffalo brook, by Dr. L. Chase, of Ludlow. This gold, we are informed is worth, and has been sold in New York, for $19,85 per ounce. The Dr.

has been prospecting in tbe vicinity of Windsor for the past few found small particles of gold in a little stream, about four niles north-west of the in the neighborhood of Samuel Burnham's. The Dr. is quite confident that all the streams in Windsor, and vicinity, abound more or less in gold. Who knows but Vermont may yet prove to be a second Ophir.

Most cheering accounts continue to come op from southern Illinois of the popular change in Egypt from Democracy to Republicanism. In Fayette eoonty (Yandalia, where Fremont got bat 10 votes and Fillmore 800, there are enrolled a full 1000 for Lincoln and in Marion eoonty, where Fremont got 150 and Fillmore got 413, the Lincoln eanvassers report already 570.

Those Irish volunteers who have been fortunate enough to obtain a discharge from the Pope's army and return home complain loudly of the treatment to which they were subjected. One J. O'Brien writes a dismal story of his sufferings to the London Times, and represents that all his fellow volunteers were disgusted with their position and anxious to return. He says I was but a very short time in Macerata until I saw that it was not to fight for religion, I had gone out, but for a temporal government, with which the poor devoted children of Italy are, in my humble opinion, most deservedly dissatisfied, and from overturning which they are prevented by the bayonet's point." Tho following amusing account is given in an irish paper of the experience of another enthusiastic volunteer A young gentleman, possessed of an independent income, was Induced by the Pope's Clerical recruiting officers to join the grand army of Invincibles which was to preserve the papacy in spite of itself. He was guarantied a commission, and already dreamed of a Marshal's baton.

He furnished himself, at the suggestion of the tempter, with a very handsome uniform, green and gold, and he left our quays iu the confident belief that honor and rank were upon him. Yesterday we had an interview with him, and it was, in deed, difficult to recognize him. He was lean, ague stricken, feeble and squalid. He was dressed like a decayed acrobat whose properties had been seized. As long as he traveled through France and Austria, and his money lasted, he man aged to live; but since he reached the papal territories he had more vivid idea of purgatory than any dogmatic theology could give him.

At Macerata, a town most appropri ately named, his 6plendid uniform was taken forcibly from him and sold at auction. In exchange he was furnished with nn old flannel shirt, and an indescribable pair of knee breeches. That was the uniform of the Pope's Irish brigade. He bad reserved a second coat, and was once unfortunately tempted to display it, when that, was sold by drum head auction. He found that remonstrance only subjected him to extra drill and threats of the bastinado.

The drill was morn severe than the Austrian, for it was a discipline involving such severe punishments for disobedience, that numbers of Irish have already been shot down by Lamoriciere, others having been sent to till the samla of Algeria. Once he had, with others, to march thirty miles with nothing to eat or means lo procure any. Every day he was given by an agent of the Pope four copper coins, about the size of a halfpenny benring the arms of Pit) Norao on one side, and an inscription testifying that its value is one bajocca, on the other. Even in the Roman territories li ttle could he got for four bajocca. The recipient was, at the utmost, able to procure some maccaroni and salt, no pleasant food to an independent, irishman.

His health naturally gave way, and at last he managed to procure his release. The man who went away in splended uniform full of hopes, and in robust health, was landed on Monday at our quays, in the remains of the flannel shirt and knee breeches, so worn down that nobody could identify him."

Lander, of the wagon road expedition, narrates tbe particulars of the chase and capture, after a gallant resistance, of an Indian chief who bad ventured away from his compan ions. He says: "At a given signal two of our most skillful riders started in full chase after the Indian, and in open view of the enemy upon the bilk The fugitive no sooner saw onr men in pursuit than he tbrew his soldier cloak off and with the speed of an antelope made for the be was too late.

Tbe rider then raised and fired, bringing the Indian to his knees with a ball from his revolver. As he rode up, the savage clutched at the rope hanging from the horse's neck the rider again drew his pistol and fired. Tbe ball entered tbe neck of the Indian, who held his grip, and with his dying gasp gave the war-whoop, which was answered by his comrades from the hill, who dared "not come to his relief. A rope was then tied around his leg and he was dragged iuto camp. The dead savage was recognized by tbe Rangers as 'Big a noted warrior of the Snake Creek band, one of the murderers of Mr.
