They made, the attack apparently - in
three' distinct strings about the size of
a man's arm,- first attacking the horses.
Mr. Jloopef -still held to the team until
Messrs. (jilmore and blusher came to
his assistance. One horse in endeavor-.
ing to extricate himself broke a blood
vessel and died shortly after; the other
is severely injured. They next attacked
3Ir. Jooper and those who came to his

..... .
At last'datesfrom California." Casey
and Cora -had been hanged for. their
Crimes,, and another villain Yankee
Sullivan who htfd been arrested, had
cheated the hangman by committing
suicide. .The .people,,'. through their
Vigilance Committee, had virtually
taken possession of the civil authority,
so faras concerned the" punishment of
crimes. What would be done by those
authorities was 'deemed doubtful.
There .were reports' that they would
abdicate their offices, and there were
other: report that they would summon
force' to put. down the people. Neither
of these , rumors seems- to be well
founded. There were still other rumors
to the effect that- there was a party
organizing and arming in order to meet
the Committee;- thus bringing on civil
war.. . - '
Erom all that we know of California,
there can be' no doubt that the Vigilance
Committee represent the great bulk of
the peace, prosperity and order-loving
people ot .California. Ihe sound por
tion of her people' havo for years been
afflicted "and scourged by the domina
tion'of rascality and violence, to a de-
gree unknown in any other country
calljng itself civilized, The executives,
judiciaries,. legislatures, laws, and all
the ordinary civil institutions, seem to
hav6be'en;tq a great extent, mere in
struments of injustice and 'cloaks for
crime. No powerful .villain no villain
with, wealth, influence .or friends no
villain with means to bribe or intimi
date, coul4 bo brought to justice. San
Francisco has .been for years infested
oy tne most audacious and atrocious
gangs of scoundrels that ever cursed a
civilized community. : Comnosed
knavish lawyers; desperate politicians
'amblers, swindlers, thieves and assas
sins, they have, established themselves
in power there to an extent which made
the execution of the laws, and the. ad
ministration of justice, a nullity and a
uau .goi possession ei
offices and, tribunals. They were cither
juuges, sqerins, marshals, constables,
issessers, supervisors, '&cl, Ac; or they
:ontrolled all these officers by corrup
ion or -force. ."When all -the " instru
nents and insignia of government were
n the hands of cut-purses and cut
hroats,:whjit could honest men do but
ubmit like glares, Or rise in their might
gainst i? 'After long suffering, with
leir patience exhausted and every good
deling in-'ihem-, outraged, .they have
hosenJo'.riseV They -have risen, in
majesty -as well'.as' might; no excess
aving stained- a, jsihgle one of their
cts.- ' '. . '. ' "
If now 'it'bejtrue 'that a 'irtv U
rgan'mn against. them', it. is equally
rue thit this party wUl embrace'ali the
camps jrnd villains jn California; and,
onsidering the; pass to whiclrthinrs
ave arrived there", perhaps its truth is
titrable.. Perhaps it is desirable that
-is party should be, organized and
o.w itself, g6 that it can be marked
wn wid.TO.wk,ed off 'at once' If the
amps id- scoundrels-'.of California
.. only come:out in one body, there
ill be a good ance of doing a whole--IC
execution on them nr d.:-
le whole foul brood 'at a single blow.
It were nearly as desirable that the
same thing should come to pass in New
York and some others of our cities,
which are cursed by profligates, who
pollute every channel of civil, life in
the midst of them. .
". ' From the National Intelligencer.
JTEEEASKA TZEEIT02Y.
. In the Union newspaper of' Friday
last I find a comparison, physical and
political, drawn between two of. the
Western Territories Kansas and Ne-
"braskd in which I think the latter is"
very greatly misrepresented. I quote
from the article: ".'.!
. "Nebraska is, compared with its twin
brother Kansas, a vast, cold, barren,
and inaccessable region; and. without
the facilities for transportation or busi
ness 'that its neighbor enjoys. It has
no soil like that which fills the rich
valleys of Kansas, ami no multitudi
nous streams, such as afford mill sites
or its southern neighbor. . .Nature' has
.done everything for Kansas and nothing
or Nebraska, &c. " . t ;
Knowing these statements to be un
true in the main, and believing ;f they
are left uncontradicted the effect will
be felt in Nebraska for the - worse I
would be' remiss in my duty, to tayfelr
ow-man, now that so many are seek-
ins homes in the "far West, did I not
speak out and nail this false represen
tation to the counter before it had ob
tained a wide circulation, and credence.
I speak of what I know and talk of
what I understand when 1 say that the
advantages of soil and climate, of se
curity from, Indian . depredations, of
rivers,- streamlets, and springs, and
other things, not only do not leave.it a
"barren" country, bat make it equal,
and in some. respects superior, to its
neighbor, Kansas. - . ,
"No multitudinous streams in Ne
braska!" Look at its beautiful "Ne
mahas," affording mill sites every few
miles; its.romantic and dreamy "Weep
ing Water," the same; its wide-spread
ing .Piatte, coming from the foot of the
Rocky Mountains, under the setting
sun, with its broad bottoms not excelled
in beauty and fertility by the "valley
of the rule, and its tributaries, the
"Elk Horn" and "Loup Fork," stretch
ing far away to the North land; not to
mention the Niobrarah and White
Earth rivers, and other large tributaries
to the Missouri river further to the
northward; nor its creeks and stream
lets all over the Territory, kept flow
ing the whole year . by put-gushing
springs at their sources; nor. its "salt
springs and river by the same name
whose waters before long will supply
the people of the whole V est with
"salt.
"Barren," does he say? Look at its
stone quarries and coal fields, its groves
of timber upon every creek and, more
than all, its soil, unsurpassable in rich
ness and fertility, yielding rich grasses
which from time immemorial have sup
ported immense herds of the wild
buffalo'. Can a country be called barren
which has all these things and supports
such immense herds ot buffaloes as
Nebraska does? It may be called such.
w '
but not truthfully.
As to facilities for transportaton, has
not Nebraska the Missouri river wash
ing its whole eastern border, naviga
ble for steamboats the whole distanced
uhat other or greater facilities of
transportation has Kansas than this
same river? None whatever: .Then
why claim superiority over Nebraska
in that respect: "
Nebraska is true, has had' some
Indian troubles. What new country
has not? A few United States troops
were butchered by the Sioux at Fort
Laramie nearly two years ago, but that
is all over now; "the tomaliawk is now
buried," "the calumet has been smok
ed, and wc are now at 'peace with
them."
Not so in Kansas with the maraud
ing Cheyennes and Camanches. Be
sides the internal strife and bloodshed
in Kansas, these bloodthrsty Indians
are continually hovering on her borders,
and, with a hatred to . the white man
of so long standing "that the memory
oi man runneth not- to the contrary,
they are killing Tirid robbing all who
tall into their, power.
But, again, in a geographical view,
how does Nebraska compare with this
boasted Kansas: Its southern bound
ary is the 40th paralled of north lati
tude. It lies "to the west of the north
western part of Missouri." The State
of Iowa and the Territories of Minne
sota and Kansas. lie to the-.West o
Missouri." .
Nebraska lies in the same zone o
enterprise 'with- Boston, Netf York
Philadelphia, Baltimore, . -Pittsburgh
and Chicago, whilst Kansas is too far
south fpr it. Nebraska will soon be
connected, by four railroads across the
btate of Iowa, with all these, places
and when, if ever, can the same be
said of Kansas?
Emigration to the Pacific,' whether
it went from Chicago or St. Louis
whether it rendezvous at Independence
or fet. Joseph, old 1 ort Kearney or
Council Uluns, all have to pass through
the heart of Nebraska, up the valley
of the Great Platte river, to reach the
"oouin rass. let iMebrasKa is a
'Tarren inaccessible region!"

Upon this the Philadelphia Bulletin
remarks:
"Here we liaVe an aggregate of 147
electoral votes, which, if the question
were only opposition to the Democratic
rule, might be regarded as lost to the
Democratic ticket. Add. them to the
42 electoral votes' cast for Scott in 1852,
which can. still be. regarded -as anti
Democratic, 'and we have a total of
189 electoral votes, which, if the oppo
sitionoould be united, would be against
Buchanan; . -This would leave him in
a great minority in the electoral college.
The question isr can the "well-known
opposition be organized and united upon
one ticket, so as to make it available
against the' solid column " of the De
mocracy? We may add here that the
whole number of electoral votes in the
free States is 176, and in. the" slave
States 120. If Pennsylvania should
vote for Buchanan and all (lie other free
States for an opposition candidate, the
latter would nave 14J " votes-which
would just elect him;" Scott carried
Kentucky, Tennessee, Vermont and
Massachusetts, and,, of course j - Ken
tucky and Tennessee will go for Bu
chanan or Fillmore this time. It Penn
sylvania, should be ' carried . against
Buchanan, then the Republicans could
lose New Jersey and Illinois,, and -still
be victorious. ; But. jf Pennsylvania
and Illinois should go for Buchanan,
he will unquestionably be elected.

been hopelessly ruined by the fly and

but we refrain from going fully into it
and showing that, whilst politically

all calmns and sunshine.
I will close by saying that Nebraska

to the peaceful husbandman than Kan

a medical cueiosity.
A large number' of. the. prominent
physicians, by invitation,- assembled
yesterday in the main lecture room of
the Miami Medical College, to see Mr.
St. Martin,, a gentleman well known to
the profession on account ol the singu-
ar. termination of a wound lie received
some, toirty-tour. years since, ana
rendered mote familiar by the series
ol interesting .experiments .made' by
Dr.' Beaumont, and by him submitted
o the .world through, able articles in a
medical journal. '
bt. Martin - has a hole through his
side into his.stomacli! On June 6th,
1822, ho received a gunshot wound in
the left side, which pierced; his side,
shattered the lower rib, arid tore a hole
about three inches long in the stomach.
The wouncl was thought to be mortal
at the timej but under treatment proved
otherwise. The stomach became at
tached ta the flesh upon the ribs; .the
orifice was , reduced to about one: inch
in diameter, but all endeavors to close
it up by healing were, unavailing.-
After a tiine a valve of flesh formed,
which closes" the hole so that the con
tents of the stomach do not excape.-"
The valve can readily be pushed aside;
and the Stomach thus opened.
" St: Martin is about fifty-three years
old, and although he. has for more than
thirty years had this window .to his.
stomach;" he looks nale and hearty. He
has labored at ordinary work during
the most of this time,nd by his own
toil- supported a. family. He is the
father of seventeen- children, five of
whom are alive. He has resided most
of his- time in Canada. " To the Medi
cal profession .his case is one .of con-:
siderabie . interest: Dr.-. Beaumont
made many experiments, and by them
threw more -light upon the subiect of
.digestion,, by his observations, than has
resulted from the varied experiments
with "animals by "numberless other
scientific men.
Vt. Jjunting ot Montreal, 13 now
traveling with St. Martin, and "noting
the operations' of the' stomach,, and
will 6oon lay the. result of his observa
tions before tne world. It wis & source
of regret to the -profession that Dr,
Beaumont's experiments stopped when.
they did, and those interested will be
