t, while passing over a bridge near Huron, Ind., one hundred and forty-three miles west of Cincinnati, fell through, killing and wounding over one hundred soldiers.-Louisville Courier, September 19. A large concourse of citizens from all parts of the State assembled at Hartford, Conn., today, to listen to Hon. D. S. Dickinson and others. General James T. Pratt presided. All the political parties of the State were represented, and places of business were closed during the meeting. Mr. Dickinson's speech was one of his best efforts, and had a powerful effect. Senator Latham, of California, sent a letter of apology for his absence, full of patriotic spirit. Thomas Francis Meagher sent a despatch as follows: I cannot go to Hartford to-day. I go to the war. Talking is over. Fight is the word. --National Intelligencer, September 20. Two fights occurred at Blue Mills Landing, Mo., to-day. The first was between five hundred of the Third Iowa regiment, with one piece of artil

him on certain committees was withdrawn in consequence of the opposition of Everett, who after stating his friendly relations with his colleague, which he wished to have continued, was averse to any action which would recognize him as a Whig,. Everett's action in the Whig caucus was discussed in the Boston papers,—the Commonwealth, Dec. 26, 29, 30, 1853; and the Courier and Journal the same month. The National Era, Jan. 5, 1854, contrasted Everett's treatment of his colleague with D. S. Dickinson's magnanimous conduct towards Seward. Sumner wrote to E. L. Pierce, Jan. 13, 1854: Mr. Everett, it seems to me, made a mistake; but I do not judge his motives. The proposed assignment would have carried with it under the custom no such implication, the Democrats finding no difficulty in giving places to Chase; and if it were to be opposed, it would have been more seemly that the opposition should come from another quarter. It is another instance of the intolerance then controlling the

n Senate a few days later. May 27. Keitt, colleague and confederate of Brooks, on Feb. 5, 1858, in the House seized G. A. Grow of Pennsylvania by the throat, and called him a damned Republican puppy. New York Tribune, Feb. 6, 1858. In all Sumner said of Butler he fell below what had often occurred in the British Parliament and in Congress without the sequel of violence, as when Burke spoke of Hastings; or in controversies between Tristam Burges and John Randolph, Daniel Webster and D. S. Dickinson, Blaine and Conkling. Nor did Sumner's speech on the second day contain any elaborate criticism of South Carolina, but only a single passage illustrating her devotion to slavery (an historic fact claimed to her credit by her public men), and asserting that her whole history was of less value to civilization than the example of Kansas in that territory's struggle against oppression. This single passage was but an incidental reference; whereas Sumner's full speech on the topic two years

He even assumed to advise, as a better alternative than force, a division of the country into four confederacies, the boundaries of which he proceeded to define. A few months later, March 3, 1861, he recommended to Mr. Lincoln, by letter to Mr. Seward, the adoption of the Crittenden propositions, naming peaceable separation as one of the alternatives. New York Tribune, Oct. 24, 1862; Scott's Autobiography, p. 626. At the Pine Street meeting in New York, where W. B. Astor, A. A. Low, D. S. Dickinson, Edwards Pierrepont, Wilson G. Hunt, and S. J. Tilden took part, an address to the South, drawn by John A. Dix, and resolutions were adopted, in which the right of slaveholders—not to be interfered with by federal or local legislation—to carry their slaves into the Territories and hold them there was affirmed, and the Southern States were treated as an injured party which had been denied its rights under the Constitution.

that New York was grandly illuminated to celebrate the capture of New Orleans, which feat, it was reported, had been accomplished without firing a gun. A meeting was held in Selma last week to consider the propriety of establishing a Chamber of Commerce in that city. The preliminary steps necessary for such an organization were taken. A project is on among some of the wealthy citizens of New Orleans to build a fleet of iron-clad vessels. The subscription proposed is $2,000,000. This sum, it is supposed, will put afloat ten efficient vessels. C. I. A. F. Rendricks, one of the most prominent and enterprising citizens of Russell, died at his residence in that county on Saturday, the 19th ult. The County Court of Washington, Virginia, on Monday, appropriated $5,000 for the benefit of her volunteers, which makes the county's subscription $20,000. Jas. Grant was shot in an affair with Capt.

Yankee Raids in Southwestern Virginia. A band of Yankees entered Scott and Lee counties, Va. last week, taking possession of Jonesville, the county seat of Lee, and pursuing and capturing some twenty citizens of the place who had fled, carrying off the mails from the Post-Office, and everything of value in the town that was portable. They took $20,000 of property from Captain D. S. Dickinson, including eleven slaves. About 400 of them are now encamped four miles from the place.
