In Tennessee the con teat nppcnra to be very

Counties show a net gain fur Gentry of 1,970.
Johnson, the present Governor, was elected

kivers, American, in the Tenth district has
TOO muj. ; Zollicofllr, American, in the
Hermitage dial., selected by an overwhelm
. (ng maj. It ia supposd! tho Democracy
tiavo carried the rest of the Congressmen.
In North Carolina no Governor was to
be elected this year. The returns received
indicate that tho Democrat have elected a
mnjurity of the Congressmen, and that they
have made guius on tho Americans through
out the State.
Tho President 1ms removed Gov. Reedcr,
of Kansas, fur his alleged spec'iliiliuiis in
Indian lands ; at least, this is tho ostensible
reason, but the real ni'livo no doubt was
that the Governor hal b-cume btnd-ii une
1 " . .. I l
in me Administration by ins course in
Kansas, and tu gi-t rid of him tlie not tiiiu
aual charge of speculating in Indian lands
was preferred against him and thus lie
was sacrificed to appease tho wraih uf
StringMlow and his followers. Hon. John
L. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, has been ap
pointed to succeed Gov Reeder, as Gov
ernor of Kansas. Mr. Dawson was an effec
tive member of the last Congress, and voted
for the Kansas-Nebraska bill. lie is ulsu
a strenuous advocate of the policy uf giving
homesteads to actual settlers, and intro
duced a bill into congress for that purpose,
which failed ill the Senate.
, Guv. Reeder in his reply to Mr. Marcy
denies that he has purchased half-breed
lands, and thinks he has been treated un
fairly because tho President has called on
him fur a defense against tho charge of
Violating rules which are not specified, and
he asks for a specification.
In iho Kansas Legislature, Dr. String
fellow, editor of the Squatter Sovereign,
and brother of Gen. Stringfellow, has been
elected Speaker of the House ; and Thomas
Johnson, formerly a preacher in those dig
gings, President of the Council. The Leg
islature sits ai Shawnee Mission.
Mr Marshall gave notice of a bill re
quiring citizens emigrating from Massacliu
' setts and other States, which have annulled
' or may nullify tho laws of the United
8tates, to take oath to support the laws of
Kansas Territory. A bill to prevent the
ale of intoxicating liquors and games of
chance within one mile of Shawnee Mission,
Was passed. A Joint Committee of eight
Was appointed to devise a code of laws fur
the government of tho Territory. Mr. Mar
shall introduced a bill providing that every
man who shall pay the sum of one dollar
poll tax, and produce the receipt of the
same to the Judges at any election, shall he
a leuul voter, provided he is a citizen of
the United States, and lias taken oath to
support the Constitution of the United
8tatc3, and the act organizing the Territory
of Kansas. The bill was read for the first
time.
J Gov. Reeder has vetoed all the bills pre
sented to him by the Legislature, not, as he
lays, that there was any thing objectionable
io them) but that he considered the act of
the Legislature as illegal in removing to
ihe Shawnee Mission, and there holding its
aeissions. The Legislature had addressed a
memorial to the President asking fur Reed
ar'a removal.

We have some news from tho Tlains,
but the dates do nut come down quite so
late as the advices by Wiggins. A large
party of Mormons were on Sweet Water
exploring fur gold. They were "damning"
ami turning the bed of the river. A letter
from a gold-seeker says, that they had found
largo quantities of silver. One man in the
viciuity uf Sweet Water took 840 of gold
in a day.
Gold had also been discovered on Medi
cine Bow Slroum, southwest of Fort Lnr.
anno. Iwohuwlred Arpio Indians were
encamped a short distance from this river
and were peaceable. They say if a war
takes placo between the Sioux and the
troops they will join the strongest party.
A war pony of Sioux at Seabouto Creek,
fifiy mill's above Fori Laramie, wero await

they Uid not arrive in ten days, they would
kill every white man between Laramie and

In Salt Lake Valley the prospects for

Threatening and Uosllle Altitude of the
Indians.
A party recently arrived at St- Louis,
across the Plains from California, announce
that the Sioux, to the number of 15,000
warriors have taken up a position in the
Iilnek Hills, about 130 miles from Fott
Laramie.
''They say they intend to fiirlit the United
States troops ; that they are apprised of
their cominj;, ana intend to wipo them all
out ; that they had proposed to make a
stand at Ash Hollow, but their numbers grew
so large, that they were induced to tako up
their position in the lJlack Hills. I hat
they have been gathering their forces there,
and now number some fifteen thousand
warriors. That they cannot only resist, but
easily conquer any furce that the U. States
can send against them. That we have none
but old men aud women left in the country
now, save a few soldiers that we keep for
show, and if wc send those few out, they will
aflord them only sport and pastime.
These black Hills cover a space, of 12 or
15 miles, and are rough, abrupt, precipi
tous, full of gulches and ravines, and covered
with stunted Dak, and pine, and cedar. It
is the best hilling place fur the Indians that
cuuld have been selected between Kansas
and California, and it will be a difficult mat
ter to dislodge' them.
Our forces are on the way to the scene
of danger, and are reported to be in very
fine health aud spirits. Three companies of
dragoons and two of infhntry tire on the
march.
The number of Indian warriors, . it is
thought, has been greatly overstated ; and
it is altogether probable that the whole story
of their warlike attitude and movements is
greatly exaggerated.

A letter from St. Petersburg says : "Tho
Czar continues to display great activity ; he
vimta tor tresses, pusses . review's, and works
at night in his cabinet. All trace of dis
sension between him and his brother the
Grand Duke Constantino has disappeared,
and there never was any question uf his
abdication. The Czar, lliough mild and af
fable, clings energetically to the resolut'ons
w hich he has adopted ; and he said recently
to a commercial deputation, 'It'Iam feeble,
I will pray to God to make me strung.'
He has several times repeated what he said
to the diplomatic body on his accession to
the throne: 'The policy ufmy father is sa

"For the first time in the history of the

and some sales have been made at 101,
