We learn from the St, Mary’s Beacon that a meeting is tobe held at Leonardtown, in that Chief Justice Taney, of Maryland, and Judge & muel Nelson, of ‘New York, formally before the county as the democratic candidates for the GUSSIP. Ixptan INTELLIGgNcE RecEiveD at THE Wan Derarment.—Dispatches have been received at the War Department from Capt. A. J. Smith, first dragoons, department of Oregon, in which that officer gives the details of his'victorious battle with 150 Snake Indians, twenty-five miles north- eastof Lake Harney, Oregon. Frow numerous indications he has-been led to believe that all the Indians in that region of country are hostile. Col. Wright bad ordered three companies of third ar- tillery, under command of Brevet Major Andrews, and 2 squadron of dragoons at Fort Walla-Walla, to move at once to the scene of hostilities. With these, Maj. Steen was to scour the whole country, and canse the savages to sue for peace. The commanding officer at Fort Kearney, Ne- braska, furnishes the Department with a minute account of the fight with the Kiowaysand Ca- manches, near Republican river. He states that twenty or thirty of- the 600 Indians were killed. On the part of the troops. one private was missing, two wounded, and five Indians were killed Intelligence has been received from Brevet Maj J.H. Carleton, dated headquarters, Camp Cady, onthe Mojave river, California, in which is de- tailed an interview at which a peace was conclu- ded with the tribe of Pah-ute Indians which promised to be permanent. ae Navan Oxpers.—Paymaster J.

An electora; ticket was also formed to suit all sections of the party. An attempt to denounce the corruption of the last Legislature was made by some members of the Convention, but it resulted unsuccessfully. Modified resolutions, however, were passed, de- nouncing corruption generally, and declaring that the schemes at Albany could not have been got through the Legislature last winter without the almost unanimous concurrence of the Democratic members. —————$——<$<_$_____. Heavy Rain Stoxm.—A dispatch from Phila- delphia states that a heavy rain storm yesterday morning caused great damage to the Chesnut Hill Railroad. The culvert over Cresbam creek was carried away, with an embankment 58 feet high! The large stone bridge on the same creek was also carried away, and much other damage done, especially to the farms in the vicinity, many houses being flooded. No lives were lost as far as has been ascertained. Very little rain fe?l within the city. The storm extended as far as Trenton and New Brunswick, in New Jersey. Considerable damage was done to some of the New Jersey railroads between those points. The track of the road via Jersey City was partial’y washed away, and probably-several days will be required to make the necessary repairs. No train’ for Jersey City passed south of New -Brunswick yesterday. A number of passengers via the Jersey Railroad took the New Jersey Central Railroad to Easton, and thenceto Philadelphia. The Southern mail was delayed in the afternoon on the Camden and Amboy Railroad, the guard bank between the meadows and the canal, near Carlsville, being washed away. ————$— Tux Recertion oy Dovotas tn THE SovTH.— The Richmond Whig announces the anticipated advent of Mr. Douglas in Virginia, and entreats their “whig friends, not only in Virginia, but throughout the South, to extend to the distin” guished statesman the courtesy and hospitality due to all well-behaved strangers, and especiall; to one so deveted to the Union of the States ” The Whig animadverts on the treatment of Mr. John- son in the South with severity, and remarks: “Now, if Judge Douglas is to meet with simi- lar treatment, as is uot improbable, let not such treatment be either partici pated tn or 8) mpathized with by a single supporter of Bell and Everett in any of the Svvthern States We know that in Virginia Judge Douglas will. be received with the utmost civility and kindness by our Whig and American friends. And we hope that he may be received in like manner by our Whig frends in Georgia, Alabama, and all the other Southern States he may happen to visit. If Judge Douglas is to be insult and outraged, and lasting re- ch thus thrown upon the character of the South, let the responsibility and the shame rest upon the Yancey-Breckinridgers, and not upon any of the members of that party, whose id boast it is to “recognize each other y the instincts. of gentlemen!” ending 9 a. m. to- Puoto RAPHING From 4 BaLLoon —A novel and interesting experiment was tried in Provi- dence on Thursday by Mr. Black dag uerreotypist, of Boston. it was an attempt to obtaia photo- hic views of Providence and suburbs fom a fetleen. A balloon, heid by a rope, was allowed to ascend tothe bight of 1,200 feet, from which elevation several piotograplic views were taken of the city, bay, and surrounding country. The result of this experiment, which was undertaken under the direction of Dr Wm. H. Helme, of Providence, cannot be fully known until the {m- pressions are taken from the plates; but it has fully king photographic views jn this manner. It was the intention o} the wronauts, afver this prckminary ascension, to make a long voyage in the balloon. and take views over an extent of country; but the obscuration of the sun rendered this impossible. iF Some interesting facts about the city of London have been recently published. ‘The resent British metropoi.s is equal to three Lon- ion f 1500.
