upon their good luck la having a work In

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

The Ixduk War Closed. 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.

hordes of foreigners were put through on

V Forney's Press of Sept 8th, in an

" It Is not claimed lhat Oregon has the

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."

which insinuate more than they express,

" 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

,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."

to frighten timid men and fearful boys ; but
for Drmocrats to use it upon Democrats is
like women's kisses of women an unneces

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
