MASSACHUSETTS POLITICS. | Oar Beston Correspondence. Boston, November 6, 1853. Phe Contest on the Constitution—-Estimates as to | the Reswlt—General Cushing's Urase~A Full but Condensed History of General Cushing's | Commection with the Coalition. That which gives so mach importance to the pre- | Bent contest in Massachusetts, is the fact that the people are to yote on the regular election day, on | the question of adopting that new constitution @bout which so much iias been said in our papers and by our political lecturers, of late. The new constitution is stontly contended for by the coalitionists, and opposed with scarcely less force Dy the whigs. The latter make their cheval de bataille of the system of representation embodied im the new instrument, and have met wish wome success—at least, so they say them selves. Unfortunately for the reformers, that sys- tem is susceptible of the greatest misrepresentation, and is not in that way spared by the friends of the old instrument. It requires considerable knowledge of the history of our State, and not a little of the philosophy of politics, to make men understand that the multiplication table and the rule of three are not exactly the highest instrumentalities in political golence; as against their misrepresentation there is to be quoted the attachment of the people to town yepreeentation, anything like absolute equality under whieh is quite out of the question. This system dates back to the origin of the State, and is so con- Beeted with our whole life and history as a colony, a province and a commonwealth, that it would seem that Massachusetts without it would be Massachusetts no more. It is esseutia ly a system of decentralization, and therefore to be favored, even at the cost of some heavy saerifices, by all thoughtful men, in an age wher everything tends to consolidation, under the guidance of selfish politicians, who, Arnold like, would sacrifice everything for the benefit of them- pelyes and their clientdle. Then, to moet the ob jection of the friends of the district system, to that | which the constitution contains, an article is pro- vided in that instrument to the effect that the ques- | on of adopting the district system shall be sub- | mitted to the people m 1856, and if a majority of their vumber shall be in favor of it, it will be | adopted. Thus fortified, and so framed as to please | #he mass of the friends of both systems, the new | constitution would seem to be snre of success. Six | @ays ago should have confidently spoken of its | adoption by a good round majority. The whigs, % is trae, have offered to make certain changes ia ‘the old constitution, should the people conclude not to adopt the new one; bat nobody believes in their sincerity; and even admitting that they are sincere, @ great many doub’ their power to fa'fil their pro- mises; so that the contest is really between the two constitutions that have been formed—tnat which exists, and that which awaits only the voice of the peaple to take its place. This is the real state of the case, the dispute vot being between two reform par- | ties, nor about details. Z'ut aw rien is the motto | of both partics, and in the spirit of this motto is the contest carried on, to she destruction of one or | the other. The counties which will give large majorities for | the new constitntion are Worcester, Fravklin, Mid- @lesex, and Berkshire. Hampshire will not, it is thought, give much majority either way. Hampden will give a fair majority for the constitution, gwestera men tell me. Essex and Norfolk are doubtful coun- ties, with chances in the former for a majority in favor of the constitution, and in the latter against it. | Saffolk will give a heavy majority against its ajop- tion. Bristol and Plymouth wiil give jorities for the constitution, and there will probably be a small ae a other way in the three counties of Barn- stable, Nantucket, and Dukes. The fellowiug}table, | furnished me by a highly intelligeot gentleman, who isa friend to the constitation, but moderate in all | things, is, perhaps, not far from the result that will — from the popular vote on the question of | a Yes. | Counties. ik. 800 | | 3,000 | 750 | 500 750 | 1,000 | 200 13,000 5,100 Li Sirsss Brie 3 Majority for adoption. . - 7,900 All coalitionista to whom I have shown the above | declare that the majority is put down absurdly low, and they will not cousent to place it at less taan | 10.000, while most of them go much higher—es high, indeed, as fifteen or twenty thousand. Most of the counties, they say, are put down too low for | the reform side, while the a oe majority in | Suffolk is pat much too high. ey deny that Nor- | folk will go against them, or unighive either. Sut | folk, they say, is the only county ia which the new constitution will not be ratified by the popular voice. Now, this sar ine viewy of the subject is the one which I should days since, and it ovly remains t> be seen whether General Cushing's ukase will be able to turn the tide gen" an’s old friends and associates, the whizs. General's letter took most people by surprise. To be sure, the Bosten Post had threatened some- thing of the kind for several days previous, but as of opinion among democrats in the direction of that 's the writings of its junivr editor are sometimes as crooked as his vision, it was 80 contrived that the | public thought that joao mae was about to | appear in the character of Mons. le Bourreau, aad | not Gen. Oushing in that of an “admonisher,” like | the person who so affectionately takes the French | _— under his paternal care. “If there is one man the United States more than all others, whoshould | have been silent on the subject of Massaciusetts | dem: cra‘s coalescing with the free soilers, that maa | is Caleb Cushing; for he advised the formation of | that coaliion, he defended it with bis pen and his tongue, be prevented its dissolution when Mr. Hal- | lett sought to effect it,and he protitted more from its success, and suffered le:s from ite defeat in 1852, | than apy other person in the commonwealth. A statement of the facts of his consection with the pong will show that I do not exaggerate in this matter. The demccratic party of Massachusetts run Gen. eat for the office of oo 1847 and 48, thoug) never gave in his adhesion to that until after he was nominated. In 1847 he renives upwards ef 40,000 votes ; in 1848, he reveived about 000, the party breaking down after the defeat of Gen. Cass. In 1849, he rece ved, I think, but three votes for a third nomination, in the democratic State Convention, Mr. Boutwell being placed at the head of the party. That year the first attempt ata coalition was made, and the result was the election of thirteen Sena‘ors and a large number of Repre- sentatives opposed to the whi, Among these Rep- reser tatives was Mr. Frothingham, who was chosea from Charlestown, the ticket on which his name was borne bearing those of two other democrats and of two free soilers Mr. Frothingham is said to have voted for ab»lition resolves in the House of Representa- tives, my authority Lig Mg who was a member of the same body. The fact, however, is not within my own knowledge. As I never considered the abolition resolves that our Legislature used to pase in the times of whig ascendancy as matters of any consequence, the facta connected with them have d from my memory. Let me here mention that first article thet ever appeared in a Boston paper in favor of a coalition was published in the Boston Post, about the middle of July, 1849, some three months before there wasasingle coalition ticket formed in any of the counties, ‘That article's publi- | ticle in eup; | men who shine most in that sort of writing. In that | act—not merely common place attacks on a party | 1851. 1,000 | ave been inclined to adopt afew | | told _by gentlemen who belonged to that committee. broth, thick and +l Tt_was understoo’, at the time, that he was iu /avor of the coalition, bat would support it in “a quiet way,” which ig “ a way ” that he has of supporting au things but his own im- mediate interests. He was talked of for one of the Senatorships in Essex county, and only left off the ticket because it was believed that his being on it would cause the defeat of all his colleagaes. It is | worthy of note that the objections to his nomination came, net from free soilers, but trom democrats. The former probably recollected his linsons with | the abolitionists years before, when he was pro nounced worthy the votes of anti-slavery men by no | less a person than John G. Whittier. Whether in favor of the coalition or not, previous to the day of election, it is very certain that, as soon as he discovered that it had been successful, General Curhing found « variety of urgent reasons for me ‘ing it, and for striving to place hioself at i d. He gave to some few of its leaders a rather odd proof of his zeal; he actually wrote a leading ar rt of that alliause between the demo- erats and free soilers, which had been jusiified by success, and yon know that it is not even the ableat article the General uot on} Speaints defended and upheld, and applanded the Massachusetts coali- tion, but he classed all coalitions in what Shelley would call bis “broad embrace.” The article was | much admired by colitionists. Had the author not been carried away, either by vente fee desire to spread among coalition dil know- ledge of what had done for their canse, the secret of the sumeernty of that article would have remained known to but two or three per- sons for sver; bat the writer must needs tell what he had done to Mr. Lawrence, at that time editor of the Newburyport Union, @ democratic paper pub- lished in Mr Cushing's town, and requested aim to copy it from the Boston Daily Times, where it ori- ‘imally appeared,a day or two after the election. 'r. Lawrence did copy it into the Union, and it was I believe copied into the columns of other coalition journals. Mr. Lawrence is now proprietor and edi- tor ot the Lynn Bay State newspaper, in which this same leading article is to appear uext week, with history of the circumstances under which it was pub- lished in 1850. I learned these facts sey al- most three years after their occurrence, which shor Mr. Cushing’s friends kept the secret wel!. It nevar would have come out but for the indignation natur- ally caused in the minds of others, by his charging npon them crime of moral treason to the Union for doing Jes than he said it was right for them te do in 1550. 1 wish you and your readers to recollect the time when el! Ubis was done. It was in the eutumn of 1850. just after the passage of the Fagitive Save jaw and the rest of the compromise measures. The whole country was then agitated on the subject of slavery, and in Massachusetts opivion was almost universal against the Fugitive Slave law. By two arties it was all but uviversally condemned—the Kee soilers and the whigs—-the ouly exceptions in the latter party being some few gentlemen wao had followed the lead of Mr. Webster. The democracy) either denounced the law, or main‘taived a sullen si- lence on the subject. Their allies, the free soilers, headed by Mr. Sumner, who had then been named for that United States Senatorship which he now fills, made open war on the rendition of the fugitive measure, but“ war ia prociact.” There were several occasions when it seemed as if there were about to be mobs in Boston, grow- ing out of the excitement of the compromise Ego. tions. Further, it was well kaown to Mr. Cushing and his eorrespondent of the Boston Post, that a Un'ted States Senator was to be chosen by the rhe lature that was to be elected in November, 1850, Mr. Winthrop, executive appointment, then holding Mr. Webster's cld place, the latter's time expiring in 1851. General Cushing must have known that the free soilers would insist upon making one of their chiefs Mr. Webster’s successor, for the name of Charles Sumner was mentioned in connection with the Benatorship during the contest that led to the defeat to his confirmation by a which contained a free-seil majority. Gep. set himself about removing the grounds of that existed to his vomination, He worked hard for the Justiceship, and certainly earned it. The person with whom he had mos: to do in the business was Mr. Francis W. Bird, Councillor for the Norfolk district, and whose nomivation for the Senate in Norfolk county, last month, by the coalitionista, was the cause of so much anger to the Boston Post, and is supposed to be at the bettom of Gen. Cashing’s last movement, he being literally compelled to do the Post's dirty work. Mr. Bird is a man of decided talent, uniting in his person the not often combined qualities of the business man and the writer. He had a large inilu- ence in the Council, and to obtain his aid, Gen. Cushing left no fair means untried. Another intlu- ential Cooncillor, and much resembling Mr. Bird, whose intimate friend he was, was the late Mr. F. R. Gor from the Middlesex district. He was not iehdly to the nomination of Mr. Cushing, but was induced tosupport it from arguments brought for- ward by Mr. Bird. A third free soil Councillor whose support Mr. Cushing sought and obtained, was Mr. A. G. , of Salem, from the Essex district. ‘According to etiquette, it is highly necessary that & man who aspires to an appointment under our State ‘overnment ahould be oi eae rage by the Gouncillor of bis district. Now, Mr. Brown was Councillor from Gen. Cushing’s district, and it was said that he would not support that pipers and without his support, the Geueral had no chaave whatever of com What dia he ‘ing his . do to bring Mr. Brown round? Why, he brought to bear upon him the intellect and influence of the ablest coalitionist in the world—the late Robert Rantoul, Jr. He jaded Mr. Rantoul to write to Mr. Brown; aud the latter gentleman finally con- sented to support the General’s nomination. You will recollect that this took place more than a year after Mr. Rantoul had been elected a member of the United States Senate by a coalition Legislature ; more than a year after he had accepted a free soi nomination for the United States House of Represen- tatives, on the 1d that he was opposed to the Fugitive Slave law, and would “agitate” in Congress for its repeal; and about a year after Mr. Rantoul had been elected to that body through a “coa- iltien,” in his district, between democrats and free scilers—a coalition against which Gen. never publicly uttered one word, if he ever did so in private. And what was the consideration for Mr. Rantoul’s valuable aii? Why, that Gen. Cushing should support his claimsto a seat in the Baltimore Convention, to which Mr. Raxtoul had been regu- larly elected by the coalition democracy of his trict, and oppose the claims of Mr. Lord, who hed been elected from the seme district by the hunker democracy. Gen. Cushing was 80 Hess cnpaed to coalitionism at that time, that he was ly to sup- Mr. Rantoul in the national convention of the lemocracy, though he knew that that gentleman was opposed to the compromise measures. Mr. Ran- toul is in his grave, and Gen. Sushing and Mr. Lord are fast friends, appointing red hot abolitionists to some few places in Essex county, and denonncing all union with free soilers. In this business Gen. Cashing may have been deceived, but Mr. Lord can plead no such excuse. I believe that General Cushing had little to do with the coalition after his elevation to the bench; but he never exhibited any hostility to it, not even after Horace Mann had been nominated for Governor by the free soilers. He was quite ready to have the electoral vote of Massachusetts secured for General Pierce, through the assistance of the free soilers, when such a project was mentioned. I think I have adduced facts sufficient to show that, whatever the sins of the coalition, General Cushing is the last man who should speak againet it. Did he not have eighteen- ence? What right has Jemmy Twitcher > peach? Whether we regard coalitionism a8 malum in se or malum prohihtum, Gen. Cushin, stands condemned before the world. If bad in iteelf, how came a man of his intellect ever to have any- thing to do with it—to accept office from govern- of the whigs 10 1851, by free soilers, writers and speakers, who afterwards declared that they could not have carried their party’s vote for the coalition candidates but for the use they made of the national ubernatoria! question. Gen. Cushing knew all this; fs could not have remained ignorant of it; then he was for a coalition with free soilers, though tne success of such a coalition was almost certain to send an able manto the United States Senate, to“‘agitate” thethen raw compromise measores, aud did so result. Now, when we have no isenator to elect, when our elestion relates ouly to local matters, with which the national government hes no more business than it has with the moni tipal contests of Boston or New York, General Cushing tells us that to unite with the free soilers would be ts aid in a sectional warfare. Then, no party had given in its formal adhesion to the com- ment of its creation—to be hand and glove with its chiefs, and to piste himself to aid to a national ‘ition the ab! fest cppanens that the country ever ad to the Fugitive Slave law? If he was acting fairly then, has he not now realized Felix Schwartzen- berg’s idea, and astonished the world by the vastness of his ingratitude? If it be bad, because prohibited— that is, Oy bad—why has he been on the best terms with coalitionists since the adoption of the Baltimore platform? Why bas he, unasked, tendered his services to leading coalitionista, should they de- sire office? Why, since the paaene was delivered, has he been inetrumental in ge'ting places for scores of coalitioniste? Why, within five weeks previous to writing his letter to Mr. Frothingham, did he take per in giving high offices to three persons who had en eminent as coalitionists, and all of whom had romise measures; now ota prrties have done so. What, then, makes the differeuce with General Cush ing? His own position and nothing else. Then he | expected to make something out of the eae his interests are identified with the ‘natioi democracy,” out of which party he has made some- thing and hopes to make more. This may be avery fine specimen of policy; but is his conduct tha’ of eitber an Acnest man or a statesman? The first coalition Legislature met in January, In the House, Mr. Sumner was elected Sena- tor by one majority. Mr. Fro! yham and General Cushing voted against him, and opposed his elec- \ tion to the utmost of their power. But they bad both supported the election of wen whose votes made him Mr. Webster's successor. Mr. Frothingham ran on | the same ticket with Mr. Stone, whose one vote | elected Mr. Sumner, as did that of any other coali- | tion member. Now, if Mr. Frothingham and Gen. | Cushing had Gere coalition ia tke summer and autumn of 1850—tbat is, had tet hei exact'y what they are now doing, we having no United States Senator to choose next winter, whereas we had one to choose in 1851—tbere would have been several coalition candidates for the House feated, which would have secured the defeat of Mr. Sumner; and without the election of that gentleman, the coalition would have died in the spring of 51. Had the Legislatare of that year ad- journed without the election of Mr. Sumner, the | coalition never could have again carriéd the State, | and it is altogether probable that no attempt to re- | new it would have been made. In the summer of 1851, a very strenuous attemp: wes made by the na- | tional democrats to break up the coalition. They | were headed by Mr. Hallett, who would have suc- | ceeded but for the powerful exettions of Gen. Cush- ing, who placed'bimself at the head of the coalition democrats, and led them to victory. He was the man who prevented the Democratic State Conven- tion from taking such a course as would have made a further allience with the free soilers impossible. In private conferen ses he contended against Mr. Hallett. e wrote an eddress fur the Domocratic State Central Committee, to the democratic voters of tue State, in which he took the ground, boldly and decidedly.that the coslition should be maintained, as I bave been now, Mr. Hallett drew up an address of an entirely differ- ent character, and endeavored to have it presented, but without success. General Cushing was the master-spirit, and he carried coalitionism through triumpbanthy. Had Mr. Pallett been joined ty Gen. Cushing in his endeavors to put dowe tre coalition, it must have fallen, as it carried the House by only six majority: some 400 members in all beiog chosen. The Sena’e was carried by only six majority, andthe six Middlesex Senators were chosen by enly about 200 majority. Sureiy Mr. Cushiog’s influence ought to have beenjsuflicient to:turn the scales against the coalition, when the scales were so nicely balanced for a time; but his infuence, unfortunately for his reputation for consistency, was all thrown on to the coalition side—that side in politics which he now denounces as being sishonest, dangerous te the integrity and harmony of the Union, and callin, upon the President to exerciss usurped dictatori powers for its suppression. General Cushing must have hed some motive in throwing txe weight of hie influence on to the coali- tion—he now calls it the abelition —side cf the contro- verry in this State, but two years since. Let as seeif we cannot find e motive for his conduct, that will do 0 injustice to him. For some irs pas’ the busi- ness of our courts has greatly increased. Our Sa- preme Court has been troubled with an accumula. vion of cases. To meet this difficulty, it was deter- mined to increase the number of justices of that have better chanees than himself of getting the new seat, should it be created under a coalition govern- mert, while under a whig government he woald have no chence whatever. He-+had but.one rival te‘ear, ané that was Mr. Hallett, whore high and liberal views on the ae had procured for him many admirers among coalitioniets, though he was their political foe. By placing himeelf ia striking contrast to Mr. | Hallett on the coalition question, Gen. Cushing ex- pected to find favor avith the coalition government, should it be renewed. It was renewed. [he Lrgisla- cation had more to do with the formation of the coalition than an’ one event. Itis said, | know not how correctly, that Mr. frothingham wrote it, he having for years been the writing editor of that —one of the chief “' bricks fa the edifive of The events of 154. hevi fied th event 8 javing satisfied the two position parties that a “‘periect union” of their fesse would enable them to carry the State, auch union was effected. The Boston Posi supported the coa- lition Senatorial nominations, among them being such men as Henry Wilson, Joseph T. Buckingham, Edward L, Keyes, John B. Alley, and Joun 1. Graves, all eminent men in oar free soil party, and certainly much greater ‘agitators’ at that time than now. For once the coslition was united, and the resuit was that both the Senate and the House were carried by decisive majorities against the bin Among the persons choren to the House was Mr. F'rothingham, who was elected ia Charles. town bya union of the democratic and free soil parties on the same tickes On that tick- | et was the tame of James M. Stone, | one of the ublest aid most sinvere frae so'lers in Massachuset’s. Gen. Cashing was also chosen to the House in Newbury, by a coalition of whiya and democrats, with just encugh of free soilers thrown jn to make what be now calls a political “ hel!- ture of 1862 ereated an additional Justice of the Sn. preme Court, and Gen. Cushing madeal! possible ex- ertions to secure tae place; and these exertieng brougkt him iat such relations with some of the must distinghished free svilers of Massachusetts, and com- mitted him so thoroughly to the free soil party here, that people ee with the facts are astounded that he should have the audacity to even hint at the | want of principle supposed to characterize an act of crslition. Truly, when Mr. Thomas Paine spoke of the intimate connection be- tween the sublime aud ridiculons, he most have been thinking of some great politician who nad been on all sides, and, atter having betrayed every party, still pretended to taik of principle. Our executive government consists of a Governor, a Lieutenant Governor, and nine Councillors. When an appointment is to be made, the Governor names a person, and the Lievtenant Governor and the Councillors vote on the question ot his contirmation. In full couneil, at least six votea are required to confirm an appointee. The Governor does aot pave a casting vote. In the council of 1852, there were court. General Cushing knew that few mea would | held office under the coalition? Ishbould really like to have these questions answered in a satisfactory per, and so would many others. Both Mr. Cushing Mr. Frothingham have many friends who do not e with them in politics, and who bitterly regret that they should be engaged in. so singular a busi- ness as that which is now making their names not famous, but notorious. For myself, I thiok I could point to pretty strovg evidences that I have Rhos of my regard for both gentlemen; but neither the es- timation in which I hold the public services of the one, and his great talents and attainments, nor the deep sex timents of admirstion that I have for the valuable historical labors of the other, shall operate to canse me to oes the truth in a matter where they are £0 largely concerncé. My letter is already too long, or I would give you what I believe to be at the bottom of this move- mert. It will keep for a few days, unless some new eonrce of interest should be found, in which case our affairs would have the goby. ALGOMA. American Genius.

Mr. Winthrop left the Oregon alles on the 2d of Sep- tember, and on nis route met and passed @ great many er:grants, with their families, stock, &c. He estimates the number of persons at six thousand. They were goaer ally getting along well, in good healih, and their stock, in the main, was in good condition. He thinks the moat of them will reach ihe Columbia river before severe weather sets in. In the valley of the Columbia and its tributaries, the erops were good and the emigrants would fin¢ a anflicient supply of provisions on their arrival. ‘There was a considerable influx of emigration into the Territory of Washington, im view of its orgauization, A portion was directed to Puget’s Souud, where the lumber trade is carried on very extensively. Along the Sound there ix but little farming land, exceptin the Cow- lite Valley ana upon Whidby’s Island. ' On this island pumber of farmers have settled, and Mr. W. saw vel fine wheat and other crops raised upon new and fre’ broken lands. The British colony on Vancouver's Island was making dut slow avd doubiful progress. Two causes were ope- rating against the colonista. One was the Russian policy, which permitted only the purchase of howe goods, and the other the mouopoly which is claimed and exercised by the Hudson Bay Company. The,colonists caunot sell to the Russians, for they draw evéry thing that necessity does not oorapel them to purchase elsewhere, from their own country, and the Hudson Bay Company hold a mo- nopoly’and control over the products of every colonist. Tre colonist is but the lessee of the company. Many of the inhabitants of the island are anxious to be “‘annexed’’ to the United States. Mr. W. describes the territory of Washington, from Puget’s Sound, across the Cascade Mountains, as a heavi- ly timbered country, chiefly with the Oregon fir, which in some localities grows very large. There are scattered prairies and some dry barrens between the sound and mountains, the latter covered with fine pebbles of trap rock, and seantily wooded with oaks. Acioss the moun- tains is anopen rolling prairie country, with small and thinly wooded valleys—water everywhere abundant. To the north of this, and in the coantry occupied by the Flat Head Indians, there is more timber, and the country is admirably adapted for settlements. ‘The Indians in Washington Territory are friendly, and those on Puget’s Sound may be said to be civilized. They are in constant intercourse with the whites, farming and TEs potatoes, which, with the salmon, constitute their food. ‘The emigrants had partially succeeded, during the a summer, in cutting a road through the pass of the Oas- cade Mountains, to the north of Mount Rainier. Mr. Winthrop came rough this pass, and met Capt. McClel lan and his part; yt. MeO. is acting in conjanction with Gov. Stevens, who this summer left St. Paul to ex lore the northern route for a railroad. Capt. McC. had n exploring the Cascade Mountains from the Columbia river to the parallel of latitude 49 deg.. to find a practica- ble route across the Cascade Mountains. They left the Columbia Barracks (Columbia river) on the 17th of July, and cut their way with difficulty t h the heavy tim- ber to the mountains, ‘They had found no passat the base of Mount St. Helena, and none between that and Mount Rainier. Captaih MoClellan did not think the pass on the north of Rainer, called the “Nach-Chese,” was practicable for « railroad. It was his purpose to proceed still further north. Mr. Win- throp, from his own knowledge of the country, and the best information he could collect from persons most ac- qvainted with it, believes that the best route for a road will be found north of Mount Baker, and near the frontier or boundary line. Captain Mc%.’s party wore all well, but had been compelled to send in to Fort Stulacom, (Pu- get’s Sound,) for provisions. From the Flathead villsge, ‘at the base of the Rocky mountains, to the base of the Cascades, there is no difficulty ia finding a route for arailroad. But the Cascade moun'ains present the great obstacle. Deep ws lay upon the Nach Chese and Levahomish passes until late in June—the mountains fty, and heavily tir bered, and the valleys 8 by which they are entered sometimes rum ‘The result of these exploring parties in search of a route for a!railroad, will develope many new and important facts in relation to the geography of the country. Mr, Winthrop came in by the way of Salt Lake, and left there in the mail stage. On their way in they overtook Mr. James Bridger (the founder of Bridger’s fort) at the Devil’r Gate, on his way to the United states. He will, we trust, be here in a few days, to tell his own tale As Mr. W. learned the story, Bridger was accused of selling ammunition, guns, &c., to the Indians, who are at war with the Mormons, and thereupon a party of forty or more were sent from Salt Lake by Governor Young to arrest him. B ing apprised of their approach, he took to the mountains (not to Green River, ax we heretofore stated), but in the vicinity, where he could watch all the movements of his pursuers. His pursuers arrived at the fort, took possession of it, and lived upon his ca‘tle and provisions some dayas but finding the pursuit profit- less, returned home Bridger, when he thought it safe, was joined by bis wife and children, and they are now on ther way in, and will probably reach Westport next week. The mail party found buffalo in abundance as low down as this side of the Big Blue. The snow on the 26th ult. was four inches deep on the Namaha. Intelligence from Texas. We have dates from Galveston to the lat inst., and late papers from the interior. e epidemic has at last ceased in Galveston. The fol lowing is from the News of the 1st inst :—The opinion we expressed in our last issue, that the epidemic in our city had terminated, has been confirmed by subsequent expe- rience. There are 8:i!l some few lingeriog cases, perhaps ‘a doren, all of which, as we are assured by our poysicians, with perhaps but one exception, are convalescent and out of danger. By inquiring among our physicians, we have been able to hear of but two cases withia the past week, and these were very light The deaths reported by the ¢exton are oki cases, some of {nem beyond the limits of the city and some from the hospital. It is poxsible we may bave two or three more sporadic cases, though our physicians do not think it probable. They all concur in the opinion that people from the country may now visit our city with perfect safety. Our Howard Association have still duties to perform in attending to orphans and destitute families. ~The followir g extracts from the Indianola fBullelin, of the 2th ult., will show that the epidemic has about ceased in that place and Lavaca:— “Iv is with the most grateful pleasure we can now an- nownce to the public that the yellow fever has disap- perred from Indianola. The health of the town is ‘agaln retored. But one death bas taken place in the town complicated case. ‘As the diseare sudéenly abated ia our old or uptown, ‘some eight or ten days ago, several cases occurred, gen- ‘rally among strangers down atthe bayou, where the above death occurred. The rest have recovered. ‘We can now say to all who wish to come to this place, come ahead. From the first till now we advised all to stay away, and feel that we have done the part of faith- ful sentinels. “Ali may now come without fear.” After the above was in type we learned from Major Ker this morning of the following deaths at Lavaca since our last :—Mr. Diterich, German, carpevter; infant child of Mr. Haggerty, negroman of Mrs. Bankhead, H. Saw er, W. Sawyer, first and second mates on board the New York schooner Mustang—5. As we have stated abeve, Major Ker considers the epi- demic as having run its course and that the country peo- ple need apprehend no danger at Lavaca.

There are.) new bayers inthe street It is the mame old clique at Wox, trying to put life into some of the almost defunct fancies. tt is report- ed that money is eatier, and there is very little tanbt of it. But it may bea fatel relie!, or a sort of jack-O tan tern, that leads one into the diteh and disappears. Mone, is alittle more abundant, because some of the banks have been a little more iteral jin their loans on call. These call loans are notitpg more than so many traps to catch stock tpeculators in,and they have lately worked most successfully. We recodect how easy it was a few weeks since to borrow money of yny bank in Wall street on call. Any amount could have Wen raived, at a moment’s notice, on certaim securities, td holders of fancy stocks were in raptures. Al) at once, these loans ceased. This movement was immediately flowed oy another—s general calling in of call loans—and trero waa a pretty extensive panic among those operators wyo had to pay up. For a time thore was considerable squiraing among the bulls, and prices for stocks ran down to very nw points, The banks are playing the same game again, ant the result will, as a matter of ovurse, be the same. It is possible that the stock market may improve steadily un der the influence of such a change in the policy of these institutions; but when the proper time comes, there will be another stampede among those who have purchased for a rise, and the bears will come in again for the har- vest, Beware of call loans from the banks, is the best ad- yios we can give holders of fancy rtocks. ‘The news from Europe by the steamship America, at Halifax from Liverpool, is throe days later than that re- ceived by the Franklin at this port.

Faipay, Nov. 11—6P, M, Some new companies have recently been started to miues in Tennessee, and vast promises are held out operators to embark in them. We have no doubt that there is nome basis for these speculations; but it doe: strike us as important that operators should bear in ming that Tennessee is far removed from the centres of and traffic, and that, five years ago, promises quite ao| brilliant were advanced on its prospects, People then said that Tennessee was an inexhaustible field for mining, and that all who had an interest in its mines would rea; immense fortunes. Five years have elapzed, and, not- withstanding all that has been said about the sulphurete| and oxides, no returns have yet been made from the Ten- nessee veins, This is enough, in our opinion, to dictate great caution to those who purpose investing money in them. Up to this time—leaving coal and iron out of the quertion—-the United States contain five mining districts, all of which possess superior claims to Tennessee. There othe New York lead region: the gneiss formation of ter cennty, Pennsylvania, for lead; the mineral range through Virginia, North and South Carolina and 4 for gold aud copper; the Far West, Misrourl, lows, censin, Xc., for lead; and Lake Superior, for silver and copper. In all these districts, both individual enterprise and corporate capital have reaped actual returns; auc until Tenvessee does as rauch for those who have’ cast their lot within her borders, we advise outsiders to ad- here to the five we have enumerated ‘Advices have been received from the gold district o North Carolina, promising well forthe mines, Experi- enced mineralogists think well of their prospect | ‘At the mining board to-day, there was quite an active demand for the leading stocks, A greater variety of stocks was offered, and better prices realized.
