The Unron comments upon the counsel of the New York Zimes that ‘the Democracy must adapt themselves to sectional interests and prejudices."’ Further, it “respectfully inquires what play the opposition managers have in rehearsal to succeed bieeding Kansas upon the political stage?” The Union also announces that it has— “Been expecting very confidently since the comet has passed to (he southward that the north- @rn Abvlition journals — basset and ‘point exultingiy to its diminisbin, rillian and to the tinted emanations of is heretofore elaborate and artistic tail. How such papers as the New York Tribune have overlooked this circumstance we are at a loss to understand. We knew nothing of the affairs of the comet, or of Jts sensitiveness to assault and ridicule, but we now remember the celestial visitor lingered for ® long time in the Northwest. perbaps calculating the hazards of fulfitling its e« centric mission b & journey to the South, beurring thereby the dis- Neasure of the Tribune. Since this subject is fore us, we think it not amiss to inquire of our estrouomers whether the planets and stars of the North are not more brilliant than those of the South? The sun and the moon also continue to Feside in the Seuth—and that, tco, without re- ®Mmonstrance. The truth ts, northernism has not yet calminated.** The Intelligencer says that certain parties in the Territory of Nebraska are advocating the call of a convention to frame a State constitu- ‘tion, notwithstanding the fact that 25,000 is the largest population claimed for the Territory. The propriety of the movement (says that paper) is urged on the ground of an alleged effort to introduce slavery into the Territory—an early assumption of State independence being repre- sented as the only expedient by which Nebraska can be at once and forever occluded against the ingress of that institution, which it is claimed, under the Dred Scott decision, has at least a Jegal right to enter the Territory and demand the protection of Federal if not local law. The Intelligencer thinks this movement makes the more necessary on the part of Congress “a sol- emu affirmation cf the incapacity of any and every Territory to apply for admission into the Union until its population has reached the es- tablished ratio of Federal representation, and @ rigid adherence to that rule.”’ _ —e Lieutenants, M Woodhall, Chas 8 MeDono: G P.

From the above it appears that the Brazil squadron andParaguay fleet, all of which will be used should necessity require it in the de- monstration on Paraguay, comprises seventeen vessels, carrying in the aggregate one hundred and fifty thirty-two pounders, and twenty-five nine-inch guns, besides other armament for bombarding forts, &c. The number of men, besides officers, &c., has not been definitely as- certained, but it will probably amount to about 2,900. The steamer Harriet Lane is not included in the above list because she belongs to the reve- Bue service, and was transferred with her offi- cers, without any changes occurring, to the Navy Department. She is commanded by Cap- tain Faunce, and carries fuur nine-inch guns. AcricuttceraL.—The Agricultural Bureau of the Patent Office has received a letter from Mons. J. de Nottbeek the Acting Consulate General of Russia for the United States, dated at New York, October 9th, from which we ex- tract the following : “Wishing to send to several of our Agricultn- ral and Horticultural Societies samples of wheat, corn, aad other seeds ef American growth, I take the liberty of requypsting you to let me bave a few packages of each kind to be distributed among th In exchange I shall not fail to invite the ies of Russia to forward to me for the Pat- eat Oitice, such varieties of grain as are peculiar to our country.”’ The officers of the Patent Office replied that they would comply with the request, and are now making arrangements to secure seed of the several varieties of such grain as are to be found in this country. ‘The same Bureau is also in receipt of a letter from Joseph Wright, the United States Minis- ter to Prussia, in which that gentleman states that frequent inquiries are made of bim for copies of the Patent Office reports on Agricul- tural subjects, by those connected with the Ag- ricultaral schools of that country; and he sug- gests the propriety of transmitting a few cop- ies to the Legation for distribution among those Colleges. This request will, of course, be complied with at an early day. Mr. W. also assures the officers of the Bureau that any lists of seeds or other articles which they may ask him to procure for the Patent Office, will be promptly attonded to. Notices ro Maniser!

Two miles north-northeast of the vessel a red buoy will be placed, to the northward of which vessels are recommended to pass, to avoid shoals. ‘The governments of Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands, have recently issued im- portant regulations for the regulation of lights aud signals on board sea-going vessels. These will enable the steam and sailing vessels to be distinguished from each other, and are to be so arranged as to render collisions very readily avoidable. They are important to be known by American mariners. Iuportant Decision.—The act of Congress of May 19th, 1858, relative to pre-emptiors upon the ‘Half Breed tract” of land in Minne- sota, declares settlements valid upon that tract made prior to the date of said act, which did not conflict with settlements made by Half Breeds, nor with prior scrip locations. The General Land Office has rendered a de- cision upon this point, as follows: That thelaw declaring their validity requires them to be regarded as valid ad initio, and the rights of the settlers to be regarded as of equal grade with those of settlers upon lands subject to pre-emption settlement at the time. That a settler upon a technical ‘ quarter section” is an occupant of the whole of it, and will take the whole, although the improvements may cover but a part. But, a settlement upon a quarter-quarter section, with a view to hold- ing other quarter-quarters, in other quarter sections, must be accompanied by such acts as show that intention and give notice thereof; otherwise, a subsequent location of scrip will hold the subdivisions not touched by improve- ments, or not so marked as to give public notice of the pre-emption claim. Tur New Pian Roap.—We believe that there is now no doubt that the company that recently purchased the turnpike from this city to Baltimore will shortly cause it to be planked from end to end, in a manner suitable for the use of coaches drawn by steam power capable of making the trip in two hours. Moncure Robinson and our own indefatigable and ener- getic fellow citizen, Geo. Mattingly, Esq., are at the head of the undertaking, which is a suf- ficient guarantee that it will ere long be ax fait accompli. In Engiand, of late, steam- drawn coaches are becoming extensively and profitably used upon such roads, and it is de- signed that the mode of construction of this work, and the style of furnishing it with coaches, engines, &c., shall te in all respects after the now most approved English method. The new company will thus inaugurate a new e:a in the modes of traveling in the United States, as the railroad era of America was in- augurated in the same quarter by the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad Company. Tue Iypian War 1x tr Nortawest —The advices from Washington Territory are to the effect that Major Garnett, with his command, has had another brush with the Indians on the Okanagan. Six of them were killed, all of whom had participated in the attack on Rob- ertson’s party, of which an account was re- ceived by the previous mail from the Pacific. The Indians in that part of the country have become alarmed at the summary measures of Major Garnett, and it is believed that most of them have retreated to the British possessions or the Blackfeet country. No confirmation of the reported disaster to Gen. Palmor’s party having been received, Gen. Clark thinks the whole affair an Indian story. He has positive information of the passage through the Indian country of one party via Walla Walla with the loss of but one man, killed in Moses’ Camp. near Priest’s Rapids. This is doubtless Mc- Laughlin’s train. Soran Ecuirsa in Perv.—The Panama Herald says: “We are gratified to inform our readers that when the Pacific Steam Navigation Company’s steamer New Granada passed passed the 16th ult, Lieut James M. Gillis, U N., member of the Smithsonian Institution, was there, having satisfactorily completed his obse:- vations of the total eclipse of the sun on the 7th ult. In order to obtain an advantageous Position he proceeded toa point elevated 1,000 feet from the level of the sea, and about 200 miles d stant from the abovenamed port. The public will be favored with a repo t of the result. It was the intention of Lieut Gills to proceed by the firs steamer south to Lima, where he will remain a short time, and perhaps continue his voyage to Chile. ‘Although Astronomers were expected to ar- rive from Frauce and Engiand, it seems that no other was ipatios on this interesting occasion, except Mr. Maester, a German Astronomer from Santiago, sent to join Lieut. Gillis, by the Gov- ernment of Chile.” Navar.—The Panama Hera/d says that the U.S. frigate Merrimac had sailed from Callao for the Sandwich Islands, and from thence to Coast of Mexico. The sloop-of-war Decatur was at Calloa on the 13th inst. The sloop-of-war St. Mary's had sailed from San Francisco to Panama. The frigate Roanoke touched into Aspinwall on the 20th inst., and sailed immediately for San Juan del Norte. Steam Conpessers.—The board, consist- ing of Chief Engineers Isherwood, King, and Stimers, ordered by the Secretary of the Navy to examine Sewell’s patent steam condenser, now in operation at the Brooklyn navy-yard, have made a favorable report.
