Tho ;l ogro boy Groan, belonging to Mr. : (lodge, when asked whether he was in earnest in his efforts to producoa revolt among the negroes, persisted obstinate ly to tho last to declare that suoh not only uhis his intention previous to his detection, but that ho still intended to carry out his diabolical design. And \ et this scoundrel was turned looso and notwithstanding diligent search by tho officers of tho law and tho citizons of that part of tho county,has managed to elude their vlgilanco and is porhaps now safe boyond their reach. He has *0110 to plot aribit, murder andmoro horriblo crimes in another community- and left our nogroes with tho convio, don that whenever a favorable oppor tunity -presents itself, they can with little risk enter a combination for the samo purposo. Wo do hot intend to express an opin ion whether or not the owners of the hoy GroOn nnd others implicated with him,aided lu thoir escape—for this will undergo a judicial investigation. It is enough to know that tho negroes have thus far csonpod from justioo, nnd un less moro activo means aro employed will never bo again arrested. What then shall bo dono? Wo proposo in tho first pluco that tho citizens of tho county offorarownrd for their arrest— and in tho second that a subscription oijuul to their valuo bo raised, to be paid to their owners In case they aro convict oil and hung. Thcro is no law in this State remit nor a ting tho owner of slaves when they nro oxccntod for a capital ofi'enco—nnd tho people of Floyd county, for their own prptootion, should adopt such moasuros JWtvill most surely bring these negroes to justioo.

No time can bo lost—and wo boliovo if thoso stops nro taken they will bo successful—tho laws will bo vin dicated—some unsuspecting communi ty iviil bo saved from a villain who would have corrupted their servants and plottod their destruction, and our own nogrood convinced that suoh offen ders cannot osenpo with impunity.— Whatever wo do, let it bo done quickly Items.

Sir, months ago, wlion authority was first given by tho President to Governor Shannon, to call to his aid the military force of the United States then at Fort Loavenworth, wo woro told that there would bo no further disturbances j but wo have boon disappointed. The dis orders havo rath or. Increased than di minished since that Unto. It may be that thoro will bo no moro unauthoriz ed military arrays on oithor side ; but will that cure tho evil ? Every settler in Kansas now goes nrniod, and pre pared for sudden conflict; and will any future emigrant to that Territory fail to equip himsolf fully with tho means of self-defense ? does any one suppose that there will bo no tnoro se cret associations, no longor any system of Intimidation kept up, no longor any use for tho bowfe-knifo, rovoTvor, or Sharp’s rifles ? Again, I ask, where is all this to ond ? Can qulot over bo es tablished unless one party or the other is drivon out by force, or shall volunta rily abandon the contest, or until Con- gross sliall adopt somo measure to ond tho controversy. And, sir, what forbids that wo should now adopt somo measure, with provisions so fair ana just in all respects, that it can not fail to mitigate, if it cannot remove altogether, existing ovils, and in the shortest period consistent with this spirit of fairness and Justice, bring tho whole mat ter in controversy to a close, by admit ting Kansas Into tho Union as a State? Do this, ond wo may leave tho issue in tho hands of a higher power. # * * * Settle this slavery con troversy when wo may, now or at any time, or in any way, tho best that ran bo devised, whatever section may havo a triumph, thoro will remain, on tho sido of the vanquished a deep and rank ling feeling of discontent and alienation; ami a whole generation must pass away beforo they will censo to mar, to somo extent, tho general harmony. Ou tho question whether Kansas shall-.he a free or a slave Stato, ns a representative of Southern interests, my preference, of course, is for a slave Stato. But, sir, if in a fair competition it must be so, let it ho a free .Stato; let it ho retroceded to the Indians, the aboriginal occupants of tho soil; let it become another Dead Sea, rather than continue tho pestilent source oi mortal disease to our system.** LATER FROM EUROPE.

Wlioro, now, do we find tlio realization of those pleasing dreams which doubt less inspired tlio authors of that mcas- uro? Mr. President, I do not wish to say anything that can bo considered offen sive, but I must8ny I do not know any way in which I can so well illustrate tho true character and tendency of tho or ganic law of Kansas, as \»y comparing it to tho preliminary arrangements which usually attend the sports of tho ring. Without any far-fetched analogy, that law may bo said to lmvo inaugurat ed a groat national prize fight. Tho two groat sections of tho Union, tho North and the South, were to furnish tho champions and to bo their backers. Tho prize of tho victory was to bo a slavo Stato on tlio one side nnd a. freo State on the other. But as the victory was to ho decided by tho number of champions, lo encourage their en listment nnd prompt attendance, tho prize of a choico quarter section of laud, at tho minimum price was to bo awnrdod to tho champions on either sido. When we consider that the champi ons on both sides of this great national contest were deeply imbued, for the most part, with adverse principles, sen timents and prejudices, on tho subject of slavery, oxcitod nnd inflamed almost to frenzy by recent and violont agita tion ; nnd that the inhabitants of tho western countios of Missouri would nat urally become sensitive nnd excited in highest degree by tlio prospect ol a froo State on thoir borders, it is not extrav agant to assort that, imd tho most in ventive genius of tho age boon called upon for a scheme of polioy combining all tho elements of slavery agitation in such a manner as to insure the greatest amount of disorder, personal ana,neigh borhood feuds, border disturbance, and bloodshed, in Kansas, loading, at tho same time to permanent sectional alien ation, he could not have succeeded bet tor than by ’ adopting the provisions of ,tho Kunsns-Nebraska bill.** chop off tho hoad of her infant boy three years old !

A Wonderful .Mirror, Among the curiosities to bo met with iu tho i’uris exhibition, was a huge con cave mirror, the instrument of a sturl- ling species of optical magic. Un stand ing close to it, it presents nothing but u magnificently monstrous dissection of your physiognomy. On retiring a couple of foot, it gives your own fnco and truo proportion, but roversod, the head downwards. But retire still fur ther, stand nt tho distunco of fivo six feet from tho mirror, and behold you sec yourself, not a reflection—- it does not striko you as a reflection—but your veritable self standing in tho mid dle part between you and tlio mirror.— The effect is almost appalling from tho idea is suggests of something supernat ural; so startling in fact, that men of the strongest nerve*' will shrink invol untarily at tho first view. If you raise cl-Kumar who has a deep gash in her y° ur uauo to thrust your other self, thigh?' the wound was caused by tho said J’ 011 800 ^ P n88 clean through y body, nnd appear on tho other side, tho figuro thrusting nt you the sameinstant, The artist who first succeeded in fash ioning a mirror of this discretion, brought it to one of tho Frenoh Kings— if we recolloct aright it was Louis XV— placed his majesty on tho right spot, and bade him draw hissword and thrust it at the figure ho saw. Tho King did so, but Booing tho point of a sword di rected to lus breast, throw down his weapon and ran away. The practical joke cost tho invontoor the King’s pat ronage nnd favor; his majesty being af terwards so ashamed of his cowardice, that he-would novel* again look at the mirror or its owner.
