Wa congratululo the literary world upon their good luck la having a work In proipect that baa long been much needed. Although Flavius Joieiihti wu termed ' a learned and authentic historian,' and hi able history hits been a standard one for . many hundred yean, jet it cauuot be dis- gulfed thut bis history k in pluccs defect ire. The author occasionally deparu from the itrict line of rigid historical truth, and gives to minor incident! a little coloring, rather inexcusable in a historian, and it tolerated noli-Iy on the ground that Jose- phut m at a Jew. To supply this defect it has long been diircd that some Gentile, of equal erudition and candor with Joscpbtu, should get up a work. We feel truly de lighted tliat our learned, erudite, aud can did cotemKrary has been stirred up to take this matter iu hand and give us bird's-eye view of the whole matter from Father Israel down to J. Kohn & Co., which the 'protpectus' promines us shall be ' Dot only ' truthful,' but ' concise' and ' brief. As this work is to be written by a Gen tile, it of course will be cxjectcd to color about as much of facts ogaimt the Jews as Joscphus did for them, so that a man in holding up one history to his right eye and another to bis left at the same time, the medium truth, that we all want, will lie exactly between the two, and his mm will point right at it. Of the learned world it will soon be eaid, Cunticaere oinnts inlentigue ora tmtbnnt, Jnde ton pater Dryer tic onus ah alto.

It seems that the forces that hare been ordered to Oregon to carry ou the campaign against the Indians will not be needed. Col. Wright has whipped the hostile tribes be jond Snake river bo effectually that they tiave sued for peace. Col. Wright has badly worsted them In two important en gagements without losing a man. The In dians hare given up the property heretofore stolen from the Government, and promised to behave themselves iu future. Ouhi, a noted warrior, was tnken prisoner, and -word was sent to his son Qualchin that if he failed to coma into camp immediately his father (Ouhi) would be hung. Qualchin, who has been the primo Instigator of all the Indian murders this summer, came into Col. Wright's camp September 24, and was hung in less than on hour. The vmr, wo suppose, is now finully closed, and wo loam that the army is preparing to go into whiter qunrtrrs.

Mr. Blair iu a speech he made in Alton, August 25, nsed the following language in concluding: " I thought that bavins been the last victim myself of tho frauds and perjuries of Auiiiiiiisiruuuii, iuiu i uiigm couio Dc foro you and put you on your guard. I thought, my friends, that whilst I have been elected as a Representative to Con gress by at least fifteen hundred majority of tho legal voters of tho St. Louis Dis trict, and whilst I have been defeated by the border ruffian and ballot-box stuffing party, I might come to you and put you upon your guard."

V Forney's Press of Sept 8th, in an article berating the Administration for keeping Kansas out of the Union, saysi " It Is not claimed lhat Oregon has the population to entitle ber to a member of Congress, and yet her admission by the nest Congress li decreed.

General Lane U a bold man, a Lecompton Democrat, and he will insial on getting hit seat in the Sen ate at th earliest moment. There will be no tampering teitk him.n This sickeulng puff of Jo Lane, one of the most servile dough faces of the Lecotuptou democracy, by Forney, who has been kicked out of Lane's party for bis ad herence to Douglas, shows how low an ed itor wuo claims to be a 'democrat' can stoop when It will 'pay.'

ES A very animating fight is going on In Illinois between Douglas and Lincoln, who are stumping that State aud gather ing very large audiences. Of their meet ing at Freeport, the Cincinnati Commercial snys: " Hoth champions upon this occasion ex hibited extraordinary power and candor. In the whole hittnry of the American slump, we do not recollect that there is a record of a dicusion so aearching and comprehensive, so thorough in its analysis of issues, so absorbing in its scope, as this at Freeport. The country owes thanks to tho Chicngo papers for reporting it so well. Ho Douglas never before so unequivocally Ixid down bis principles, nor in their belmlf exhibited to greater ad. vantage his brilliant powers. Nor did he ever before appeal wiih more skill to the prejudices of the white people against the African race, to the political self-righteous, ness of American citizens, or lo the love of conquest and dominion, the passion for the extension of Territory and National and self-aggrandizement, of which the An glo Savon blood is so full. And Lincoln's half hour sheech in reply was a perfect tomahawker with the exception of a few of those stumbling and hesitating phrases that mark and mar hit efforts tho very beat thing that could have been done in that time and place." tef The first dispatch sent across the Atlantic Telegraph was "Europe and America aw nnited bj.8t.te to regulate slavery for itself, and de-, . i wrmnnAB 4-ltA Jna aF anw ao:. telegraph. 1 Glory to God in the Highest On ienomcrs wuuin me Dtates. lr the De Earth Peace, Good will toward men.'

In the Det ent News, of Sept 15th, we notice a long dissertation on the alleged wrongs that the Mormons have sustulued at tho hands of the Gentile people and their Government After several very general allegations, which insinuate more than they express, the article closes as follows: " In calm submission to the ungodly des ecration of our peaceful homes in the desert, we demand ana await the investigation to follow, which should have preceded our condemnation. We do not thrust away nor scorn the pardon of our Chief Execu tive. We accept the aunesty, but deny the guilt. We arc at peuce, good, honest, heartfelt peace with the nation, but is it Just that our refutation should unscrupu lously be buried with the hatchet ? We deny the charges collectively and singly iiKn which the crusades against us have been grounded. We acknowledge not a single act or thought that was treacherous . ! to the sacred principles of American liberty. In the darkest epochs of our sad history the evidences of our oatriotistn are found emblazoned iu full and Indelible characters.

The St Louis News says: "The doom of Senator Dou glas is scaled. lie has lost the affection of his friends and the respect of his foes, by a craven submission to the National Admin- !

And while he avows this, lie knows that 1 the Prcsideut means to keep Kansas out of the Union if she presents heeclf next win- ter with Free State constitution!

'The dog has returned to , nis vomit, aud the sow to uer wallowing iu the mire.1 " The Louisville Journal has lately bad numerous letters from Illinois, asking the editor's opinion as to tho course of wisdom and patriotism on the part of the Illinois Americans in the present canvass in that State. After alluding, at some length, to the former violent Democratic career of Senator Douglas, to his course as a national disturber Iu the repeal of tho Missouri Com promise, and to bis receut boast in u Chi cago speech that he was the first man in the United States to make a public speech against tho American party, the Journal closes as follows;" " Notwithstanding all the kicks and cuffs Douglas has received from the Democratic leaders, high and low, and after denouncing his party for tyranny and turpitude in the Kansas swindle, he is still begging and im portuning to. lie considered a Democrat. If elected, he will renew his submissiveness to the Southern dictators of his partv, will zealously support its nominee for tho Presi dency, and prove himself one of the bitter est rcvilers of the opposition party and its candidate. But enough of him and his pretensions to the aid of conservative men. " The pretensions of Mr. Lincoln are of a very different order. He is unquestiona bly a very talented man, able to cope with auy Democrat he may meet in the Senate. If wc are correctly informed, he hits al ways been eminently conservative, and was a most thorough Whig till the breaking up of that party. But the union of the opposition is a national neces sity which greatly outweighs any single mau's pretentions. Mr. L.'s talents, char acter, and position will give him much in fluence, if he chooses to exercise it, iu bringing about that union. Will be so use bis influence? If the opposition should unite and nominate a slave-holding Ameri can, like Crittenden or Bell, or a tJave holding Whig, like Rives, of Yirgiua, or Graham, of North Carolina, will Mr. Lin coln support the nomination ? If be will thus promise, we do not see how Ameri cans and Whigs can withhold from him a zealous support. We had supposed bim to be an Impracticable Abolitionist or some thing near it from the representation of his views made by Douglas in bis Chicago speech ; but, after reading the speeches of Lincoln at tnicago and Springfield, we find that he has been most crawly misren- resented by Douglas. He merely insists that slavery shall be confined to its present 1 Territorial limits, a theory, which, although wrong, is of no practical import, as climate I will cffectnally do that without the aid of I TTa fall rneln. ,. Mkt f .o..k law. ,un('s u or any aggression upon who will sustain that other party is too ob- vions to need comment. I " But if Mr. Lincoln will not go for a ; anion of the opposition parties, nor for i merging them in a revival of the old Whig partv, then he has no claim to American or Whig support. In that event, the Americans and Whigs should vote for nei ther him nor Douglas, bnt so use their strength as to elect as many representatives f their own to the Legislature as they can."

Stephens, of Georirla. whoso mission here appeared to be the reconciliation of the contending factions of tho Democracy, for the benefit of Mr. Douglas, let! tlie ground on Sunday evening in disgust. He fulled to mnke any Impression on tho Buchanccrs, simply because he was authorized to offer them no terras which implied tho withdraw al of Douglas from the field of strife, and ther would accept nothing: lets. After all entreaties and persuasions failed, Mr. Ste phens, so it is said, took up the Union-sav ing dodge, and, In voice as lugubrious as that of Mistress O'Flahcrty at a wake, foretold the evil consequences that would follow Mr. Douglas ' defeat. Tho lament had Its cli max in that old song, " The Union will bo dissolved 1" He could not nave touched a more discordant string. Democratic poll titions hereabouts know the value of that threat to well too be terrified when hurled at them. It is an admirable thing with which to frighten timid men and fearful boys ; but for Drmocrats to use it upon Democrats is like women's kisses of women an unneces sary waste of the raw material. At any rate Mr. Stephens failed to make the im pression that be desired, and bowed him self out of the scene. Chicago Tribune, N- I Ann am Lincoln. A Chicago corret- indent of the N. Y.

It will be remembered that ' Senator Biglcr, of Pennsylvania, during the debate in Congress, was one of the most vi- olent Lccomptomtes. lie was one of those , who aspired to the place of chief execution er of Walker, Stanton, aud others. From that fuct the following extract of a letter from that gentleman to Mr. Stanton is pc- culiarly interesting, if not important, as a contribution to the secret history of Kansas affairs. The letter Is dated Clearfield, Pa., Aug. 14, 1857 heart with him throughout the whole coun wV ht South. Should ,i8 programme succeed, be will have the most enviable prominence of any man in the nation. Tho Administration is a little weak at the knees, and winces under tho Southern thunder, but they must stand up to the work." t& There are some Postmasters about the country who think they have a right by virtue of their office to open any letter of a doubtful nature or direction which may come into their hands. Vot long since, the Postmaster-General decided that under the law no Postmaster was allowed to open a letter nnder any circumstances, uuless it was addressed to himself. For tho information of those accustomed to this practice, we give the following item of news Oscar F. Bcckwith, late Postmaster at Willow Creek, Lcc county, Iowa, was ar rested, August 18th, by Deputy Marshal P. H. Dennis, who took him up on a war rant charging him with violating the postal laws, it seems that, about a year ago, a letter came to the Post Office, at the above place, which one Alex. Schwab thought was for him. He requested the Postmas ter to open it for him. Although there was no unlawful intent in opening the let ter, yet it was none the less a violation of the law, and the fact of its frequent occur rence does not diminish the responsibility. Beckwith waived an examination before U. S. Commissioner Magill, and was al lowed to depart on his own recognizance in the sara of f 500 to nppcar and answer. Political. Pennsylvania votes iu Octo ber, and the contest there promises to al most equal that of 185G. Tbo Adminis tration will bring its full power and influ ence to bear upon the result. In numbers of districts the present members who voted for Lecompton have been nominated for re election, and as tbey are from Mr. Buchan an's State, of course strong efforts will be made to return them. Their defeat would be deemed a censure upon him. The struggle in Illinois, between Doug las on one side and the friends of the Presi dent and the Republicans on the other, con tinues as fiercely as ever. It is a war among political giants, and the result claimed as doubtful. However, the friends of Douglas in and out of the State express strong confidence in his success by large . . , n,nJOT,l,es - 109 PP'e re aroused and turn out b7 thousands to meet and hear Douglas and Lincoln, In Ohio the new features in the new nro- ,. i ,m B" the nomination of Tom Corw.n h as a kind of mdependent Old I in.
