Thoiniuo 15* r ore penning the* remarks I design to make upon the Compromise measures of 1860, I deem it n «- nary, upon reflection, to devote this letter to a v ry brief review of the acts and doings of the De. mocratic party for the la«t twenty five years. It ia •important to a more full and complete elucidation of if - present position; and I doubt not you will find a . m'c. ’ar coindence in their past and present obe dience to the will of their leaders —right or wrong, * m i-tent or inconsistent—especially when in pow or. It is fr m the past that we derive wisdom to judge correctly of the future. And as you will not be expected to notice what is here said, in any pub lic manner, and others are not called upon to do bo, I Mall be the more careful, therefore, to state nothing but ch an truths, and what the records of the times •viil bear me out in—aud to state them in a manner void of offence. il is well known to you, of course, that General Jacki.'ou wiih not elected President by the party that now professes to hold his name in the venera tion due to some patron saint. By one of those rin gul.ir revolutions which mark the “ ups and downs” of political parties in this country, and sometimes expo.-s the follies and weak points of the firmest gien, the party—if party it could be called —that mainly supported Mr. Adams, became, in 18133, up on sh ) issuing of his famous proclamation , the very zealous supporters of Gen. Jackson —aud through the wonderful influence which that stern leader ex erci.-c*l, the dominant party of the country. The issuing of that remarkable document was the con cretion of as anomalous a body of men aseverjformed a p tiilical party in this or any other country. The high tariff and the low tariff men, the federalists and tho anti-federalists, the consolidatiouists and the republicans, the opponents.aud thejadvocates of slavery, the back and anti-bank men, the unionists, and even then, an occasional free trader—all came together under the leadership of this all powerful champion of the Union. This, sir, was the first grand combination of the present Democratic party; and through various piia \ has existed to the present day. It is impor tant to notice the manner in which they availed themselves of power. No common principle, of their own drew them to "ether-no measure which indi cale,l a coupruity of sentiment. For, if the first recognized interpretation of the principles of the proclamation was the cause ot coalescence, tho re pudtHtion of that inlcrpretatiun.afterwards by Gen. Jack toil himself, would have been sufficient to de stroy toe adhesion. But such was not the case. They had taken hold on the mantle of power, and a* principle did not move them to lay hold, it did not require them to let go. The very incipiency, therefore, of the Democratic party, seems to have boon vmbolical of their future—“« combination of factions” servilely obedient to their leaders, and ready to follow, at any moment, their chiefs upon expeditions which promised power and plun der. Unfit from the very nature of its composition to give safety and security, or (to quote the lan guage of one of our U. S. Senators, while analyzing its properties on a late occasion) “ to can y out any great principle: 1 Such was the Democratic party to whom Gen. Jackson, in 1836, dictated a leader, and also his successor. I say dictated, because no one will pro. tune to question the fact that Mr. Van Buren was elected, not upon his oten , but upon the influence and popularity of his “ illustrious predecessor;" whose “ footsteps** he so faithfully promised to fol low. And if there is no one to disDUte that fact, no one cui dispute the dictation , and the submissive obedience of the Democratic party to it. I need not nsk your attention, sir, to this significant instance of the party’s servility. It would not escape a much less observant man. And it will doubtless bring to your mind the facile spirit which is at present mani (eating itself under the lashings which Mr. Buchan an’s organ is administering t > the party tor their heroics iu the late Milledgeville Convention. I am proud, sir, to find you an honorable exception to the common degeneracy. . , Ii is remarked a-- a general rule, that individuals who boast loudest of their independence and brave w. are most apt to prove cowards and sycophants. 1 should judge the same rule applies to parties. At l*a*‘, l know the Democratic party has been re markable for its boosts and threatening*. But. ?ir, Gen. Jackson was thoroughly,a national man. We leok in vain through the records of his administrations for a single act that would indicate a leaning towards any ono portion of the Union to the prejudice of another, ile did not seek to array one section agaimt the other—nor raise v popular < Junior upon local subjec ts, or intermeddle with the domestic affairs of the States. He did not prefer the foreigner to the native citizen—he made no pre teii.d*'ti.) in tha! way. He was national—thorough- Iv national—a statesman modelled after the princi ples of the American party of this day—a Presi dent, not. of a party , but ts the whole nation. It he sought uy a policy peculiarly his own, to strength en and consolidate the factions which rallied to his upptat, justice requires the asse - ion, that it was by no covert means —it was not upon sectional grounds nor sectional issues. As much cannot bo said for his successor, nor for tfie Democratic party now. And this departure from ancient principles aud usages, absolves you, nnd every other houorable man, actuated by prin- U.pl;*, from further loyalty to it. Uncontrolled by the master spirit which consolidated and ruled the Democratic party, it gave loose to its reckless spirit under the feeble*administration of Mr. Van Buren. The records of the four years from 1836 to 1810, jrivousasthe distinguishing traits of Democratic uile, thieving, extravagance aud lawless rioting.— There wa« not a State in the Union. I believe, but ♦ uniis’ edits quoat of defaulting Sub-Treasurers.— Th* plundered the forty millions left in the Trea . u.y b\ Gen. Jackson, after paying off the National debt, and left a debt of forty-three millions for the Whigs to pay in 1841. The Democrats did that much iii four years : and brought the government tt* bankruptcy, and the Union to the brink of ruin, into the bargain. The British press of that day openly predicted the dissolution of the Uniou ; and Kngliidt capitalists refused to loan our government tew millions at a high inteiest, iu the hope and be lief that such a refusal could, from our embarrassed condition, hasten the catastrophe ! Sir, what 1 state are incontrovertible facts—however humiliating to cur national pride. They are tlie results ot Demo cratic misrule. And if it is not a fair sample of 1 >emocratic economy, it is at least a standard model f Democratic extravagance. Vet, notwithstanding all this, Mr. Van Buren was again placed in nomination for a second term. Cus tom had made this tlie rule: besides, they dared not view such disrespect to the “Old Hero" as would I, .ve been implied by the refusal to do so ; aud they lelt . n unabated confidence iu the influence which •Till reached out from the Hermitage. W e now come, sir, to one of the most important period.** in our political annals.

When the uame of Gen. Harrison was announced as the opponent of Mr. Van Buren. he wa> instant y assailed by the entire Democratic press South, as an Abolitionist ! Then, sir. the war commenced in earnest. There are iliousanda still living in Georgia, who ti*ok a*.: ve parts in the Presidential campaign of 18 to. Where are they now ?

It is an , honor, 1 believe, which attathee peculiarly to the party. ... I will awed on, tins period no longer than to call alien lion.to a few signmoant facte, byway of iiius iratiou. While the Democratic presees, with source ly a single exception, are denouncing the American party for differing with them in uot becoming Vroo fc lten, by an advocacy of tqu.i': r tow nstnl v ai d . alien suffrage in the Kan-as bill, not one ot them, I believe, ucqualifiedly condemns Mr. Buchanan, J whose despotic policy has already over rode every honorable obligation, to make Kansa* a free State. The same was the case with Mr. Van Buren. What Democratic new-paper in Georgia eyer accused j him of treachery ! It is to my mind, sir, very stong evidence that the party knew their men well, before putting them in nomination. Again, ia too campaign of 1840, was developed I the sympathy of the British preea generally, on the 1 side of th* Demo ratio party —ostensibly on the j ground of the Tn* iff. But when it is considered that we owe to B i.ish Ficc Traders aud Emanc-Spa t ionic fas, the iinnortato.n of Abolitionism, duty /*" . j it will not be difficult for ale?* astute mi ni than yours, to account why Foreign infiucnc..

Tic mark vpo, an An glicised Ihrmcerahr ,x as palpable as nrcuim -sian , vjuju a Jew l And if it were necessary to answer ! why this same Democrat is ever anxious to omten the most obnoxious and dangerous principle- to our j free institutions upon his opponents, a lits ie philoso ! phy would solve the problem : As the wicked and designing slanderer iJ* ever conscious of hiedepravi- j ty, his chief delight is to endeavor to make others i appear as black-hearted and unprincipled as him- j seif. So, I take it, sir, that the Democratic party well knowing toe elements which constitute it’ j tendency to do mischief, lives only by charging up- j on others it 3 own deformity. Another significant fact is. that the Democratic party, since the defeat of Mr Van Buren, have j never nominated a successful incumbent of the j Executive chair, for a second term. The f »ur year* misrule of such men as James K. Polk and Franklin j Pierce, answers to toe full measure of an olympiad. Tliey are tools thrown aside, after having perform- ! ed work so dirty, that cleaning is impossible— sp"t ted cards that every gamester knows at sigh*. Mr. Bur anan is a one term man in advance, and we shall see in the future, a fortuitous circumstance be come a Democratic dogma. New men. and new issue?, present to them the most ready means of successful imposition, and the only hope of safety. Y'ou may have noticed, r*;r, that but yesterday they boasted themselves as the only competent saviours I of flu* Union. To day 1 hear them supplicating for , the safety of the party ! Verily, my honorable | friend, the “love of public plunder ’ must have be come in the Democrats a ruling passion 1 At least | you will agree with me, I think, iu the opinion that ; as t liey have increased, they have declined in pub lic decency! The history of the Democratic party then,from Gen. Jackson's time to the treachery of John Tyler, de velops ihe singular anomaly of a party twice attain ing power by the defection of chief leaders of an op posing party, to tlie principles which elevated them to office. While we see that \hetreachery of the Demo cratic leaders has never driven their foilow'ers from their support, if in office —at least, if the treachery ha? for its victims only the Southern people. And, sir, from the posion taken by th - Democratic candidate for Governor, 1 am clearly of the opinion that he would see “bleeding Kansas” thrice deluged in blood, and wrested from the South with every in dignity, ere he will repudiate Mr. Buchaunu—pro vided that functionary holds his peace long enough ; and there are good reasons to believe lie will. The Democratic party supports Judge Brown. What difference iatuere, then, “ Twixt tl em and Lusian slave, the lowest of the low V” It is further developed, also, that, we are princi pally indebted to the Democratic party for the intro duction of the slavery question into our National elections. For this they nave been repeatedly and justly reproached, and have not denied tlie charge. Hence we see where the danger comes from, that now threatens us, and how it came. Who encou rages it, and who sustains it, I shall show at large in a future letter. Foreign interference iu our Presidential elections has, also, become open aud undisguised. The De mocratic party has the honor of tnis alliance. Sir, I tremble far the Rafoty of free Institutions, wken I see a political party in this country overwhelmingly triumphant, and sustained in its ascendancy by such means! One observation more, and ! depart from these unpleasant reminiscences of a great party’s bad faith. It is no pleasure to me to speak of them ; but when I see the great danger which has been brought upon us from this cause, I feel that I am doing no more than my duty, when J try to assist my countrymen to avoid it. You will remember with what greediness the Democratic party partook of the fruits of Mr. Tyler’s treachery ; but when they received from him all he had to lavish upon them, tliey neither admitted him “iuto their house, nor bid him God speed but turned him adrift, a friendless, penniless, political bankrupt, “with none to do him reverence.” I.mention this as the closing scene in a drama, no single event of which leaves upon the mind a pleasant remembrance. If to the sins of the Democracy already exposed, is to be added thoseof sycophancy and ingratitude, why, then— “ Woe, woe to England, not a whit to me !” With the highest respect, An American Citizen. For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel. Young J!enN Hill and Trippe Club. Messrs. Editors ; —You may have observed the notice in the Macon papers of the monster political Pic-Nic advertised to come off at Double Bridges last Wednesday. It was a basket meeting or pic nic, aud was held on an island iu Flint river, be' tween Upson and Talbot. Hili and Trippe spoke. There were from 1500 to 2000 people present. It was a glorious demonstration. Hill made one of the ablest arguments aud ols of the grandest stump speeches I ever listened to. It was seed sown in goodly soil. More than one Democrat, or two, or three, or half a dozen, left the meeting, resolved to “ sin no more.” But one of the best features connected with the affuir, was the appearance of a delegation in wagons and carriages from Thomaston, which w’hb near half a mile in length, headed by a band ot music and with banners floating—reminding one of the good old days of Henry Clay. Conspicuous in the dele gation, was toe Young Men's Hill and Trippe Club of Upson. About a week before the meeting it was thought, desirable to organize the young men of the party and set them to work. A meeting was called, some sixty or seventy enrolled their names, officers were chosen, (P. W. Alexander for Presi dent, and James D. Weaver Secretary,) and a ban ner and badge agreed on. Thus the club was or ganized; and it nas already done good. The young men are coming iu from all parts of the county, lull of ardor and resolution. It seems to me, this movement is worthy of imita tion in other counties in the State. What say the young men of Georgia ? And will not tlie American press help it on by publishing this comunication, or in some other way } Hill is a young man ; and our candidates in the several Congressional Districts are young men in the prime and vigor of physical and intellectual manhood. It is altogether pr jper, then, that the young men of the party should band them selves together iu committees, or clubs, in support bf their young and gallant leaders. Young men are more ncce.-sible to young men ; besides, it is right they should relieve the old soldiers of the party of some of t he work. What say you, young men of Georgia ? Upson. I*c!ler from Ihe Hon. J. A* Woodward* The following correspondence, which has been kindly placed at our disposal, while it explains itself, will show how and why it ia that Pro-Slavery men in Kansas are found sustaining Walker : Because they “cannot look beyond a guilty C'Aie/’fßuchanau) and make his guilt a pretext for war upon his sub ordinate" (Walker.) They are high-minded, hono rable gentlemen, and “despise that class of men who will laud and extol the King, at the same time that they discard and consign to infamy the faithful Minister who has done nought but execute the king’s will.” The following Is the statement referred to in Mr. Hill’s Letter, as having been made by the “Cincin nati Enquirer.” “An overwhelming majority of the people now go with Walker foi a Constitution which shall be sub mitted to the whole people of the Territory. The Southern pro-slavery men are satisfied, with Walk er. Elmore, formerly of Alabama ; Stringfellow one of the leaders of the so-called border ruffians; the settlers from South Carolina, Georgia, and the Sou:u generally, declare their entire satisfaction with the course of the Governor. So do Doniphan and At chison ; Woodward of South Carolina, a few years ago one of the ablest Representatives from South Carolina in Congress, and intimate friend of Mr. Calhoun ; Lecompte Isaacks aud Whitfield, all sus tain Walker’s course.” [correspondence.] LaGrange, Ga., Aug. 12, 1857. Mr Dear Sir : I am informed that you are now ou your return from the Territory of Kansas. It would afford me great pleasure to see you p rsonal ly, but circumstances will not permit it, as I caunot leave home to day. 1 wish to call your attention to an article, in which 1 enclose you, taken from the “Cincinnati Enqui rer,’* and which I believe ie going the rounds of the Southern Democratic press -, the speakers of that party are also using it. Allow me to say that, for myself, I have no confi dence iu the OQrreotne sos the statements. When we remember that what Gov. Walker calls ‘‘his plan” of adopting a Constitution for Kansas is a miserable dictation from the Executive, and did not originate with the people, and that that dicta tion lias been accompanied with threats, not simply of a mandatory , but even hectoring character —that the plan grants every thing the North could ask —is beiug approved, not only by Northern Democracy, but by the Black Republicans ; and when we re member further that the endorsement by the South of this Kansas policy, will inflict upon us thej estab lishment, by our own consent, of a precedent aud a principle , which must result in our utter exclusion from all other Territories, and firmly inaugurate the runious doctrines of Federal Executive interven tion and unrestricted suffrage, even in defiance of the act of the Territorial Legislature itself—we can not believe that “Southern pro-slavery men are sat isfied with it.” Certainly, they did not originate the policy, but were pursuing a different policy, and iu a lawful way. To suppose they submit to it, because ordered , is at war with all established ideas of Southern character. Personally unacquainted with you, 1 hope you will excuse me for ihe liberty I l ave taken in thus addressing you. We are witnessing now a strange sight. A great party, boastiug a majority, has de manded of a President of their own choosing the recall of an agent, who is violating to their injury, aud the injury of their section, the principles ou which they elected him. The President refuses 1 What then ? Why. the party first wait, then apolo gize, explain, retract, and are now absolutely begin ning to justify, vindicate and defend the injury: and the article to which I call your attention is part of the policy of defence. The demand was boldly made—promptly rejected—and then suddenly aban doned ! We art* not in tlie habit of expecting tins sort ot an exhibition from Southern men. I do not know what effect the threat of Governor Walker —tiiat if his policy be not adopted, he and the President will join the Topeka Republicans, and Congress w il a T d ought to reject the Constitution —may have had upon the Pro-slavery paity in Kansas. It is doubtless their interest to be speedily admitted into the Union, and being thus threatened by those who have power, they may have yielded principle to interest. If so, certainiy a yielding under circumstances cannot commend itself to ap proval or adoption, u »r be used to justify those who forced it But even under this view, I cannot believe that all the names mentioned in the enclosed slip, have become satisfied with Walker, and among those refusing to bow I confideutiyfuu lude yourself. Yours, very truly. * B. H. Hill. Hon, Joseph A. Woodward. Talladega, Ala. August 19th, 1857. My l } i or Sir: Yours of the 13th instant was re ceived in due time, but being very much exhausted by a long journey, and debilitated by sickness in Missouri, 1 Lave had some difficulty iu overcoming my reluctance, to engage iu a correspondence ot any kind. The statement to which you have called my at have approved of the policy of Gov. \\ diker in Kansas, has not surprised me ; for in conversation ai Leavenworth, I aid take a position in regard to Ins course, winch contracted minds iiiigut have construed into a justification in the ab solute, and which unscrupulous persons might affect to consider as amounting to such justification. As to what is true in tne matter, an answer, simply negative or affirmative, could not inform you I am obliged, therefore, to make a statement. I did defend Governor Walker ; not, however, in the absolute, but relatively to the policy of the Ad ministration, or Cabinet, which sent him t© Kansas, and whose views and aims he had no official right to depart from, knowing, beforehand, what those views and aims were 1 did defend Gov. Walker, relatively to the staudaid of politic al right, touch ing Kansas affairs, which 1 consider to be recog nizevl by ihe present Administration, and which, ail must see. is recognized by the masses and the lead ers of the Democracy. North, and by no inconsider able proportion ot Democratic leaders at the South: as will certainly be seen before long I purposely exclude a large proportion of public men at the South, who honestly believed that the peculiar en ergy andTzeal of General Atchison, with his organ ized clubs of bonier ruffians," together with the support which it was thought he couid not fail to get from tho cotton States, would be sufficient to overcome the legal impediments which the Nebras ka Bill was so especially and minutely careful to iaterpo.-e, to prevent the possible success of slavery aud assure that of freesoiusm. I exclude them, be cause. possessed of full information of what was t ransac ted on the public - tag®, and also, what was planned behind the curtains, I am convinced that tKey ought to be excluded. Leaving out of view the involved and subtle character of the Nebraska Bill, and looking only to the matter of expediency, it was difficult to make the proper combination of exi-ting complex conditions, and of present causes and luture effects, soon to bring about new condi tions; and I was not surprised to see even prudent men of good ity, muck less a troop of verdant youths, betrayed into a false judgment in the pre- But I did defend Gov. Walker, and do still, in the same sense: and Ido now denounce the Kansas pvdjcy of *he Cabinet*®*. Washington, just as I de nounced it at Leavenworth, in the same breath m winch I defended Gov. Walker. And my sympa thies are with Walker. Such is my nature that 1 can not look beyond a guilty chief, and make his guilt a pretext for war tip< u his subordinate. I despise that class of men, who will laud and extol the king, at the same time that they discard and consign to infamy the faithful mr.ister who has done nought but execute the king's with In this respect I am an old-fashioned ’76 Republican, from the cr. w-iof ray head to the sole of my foot You perceive that I assume it as a fact, that Gov. Walker s “plant” and policy bad the approval of the Ad o uistration. I have not made this assumption w ' !• at feeling myself fully authorized in doing so. But do not understand me to insinuate that Walker's modus opcrandi has been altogether suited to the wish ;n and taste of our President. Walker Las, doubtless,committed some blunders. He has pro fessed openly, what he was expected to perform in sidiously. He has uncovered, what should have been kept dark. He has looked the same way he rowel, instead of “looking one way and ro vying the oth-r. * He has employee what you would call “hectoring,” instead ot blarney. lie has not evinc ed a due appreciation of the counsel given by Peg gy of the Mug to ‘ Beetle Paul/’ that when he had a point to carry, to do it “by insinuation, not blus ter.'' Herein Walker has probably sinned. Aud such is the depraved moral taste of the times, that you need not be surprised to hear the want of du plicity charged upon him, as affording just grounds for Democratic censure. But to my views in relation to the present state of affairs in Kansas, 1 have something more to add. When I arrived at Leavenworth, I found the pro slavery men iu deep despair. For several days I did not meet with one who pretended to disguise the fact that the cause of the South was a hopeless one. Those whom we had considered boldest, and truest and most competent to judge, were decided in this opinion. If I met with any of an opposite belief, they were men of strong passions, with whom the wish appeared to be father to the thought.— There was a general lnunnuring against Governor Walker, but, overwhelmed with despair, and feel ing that,practically, nothing was at slake,, they were indisposed to open rupture or even loud com plaints. Os course, I was frequently engaged in conversation with my triends on the subject, and when asked for my views, always replied in sub stance, as follows : Gentlemen : I never supposed that there was any chance for slavery in Kansas, nor ever expected any tiling but evil to the South from tlie passage of the Nebraska bill. You appear now to be confirm ed in the same opinion. But, though slavery be overthrown, the South still ha* another interest in Kansas; which is, that it shall be a conservative free State, and not an abolition State. The conside ration of this interest should shape all your counsels. If, then, you are to look to some practicable good, what can you expect to gain by a rupture with Gov. Walker? If you hope to make Kansas a free State, you will be dependent on the conservative freesoilers for that result ; and you must maintain the best relations you can with them. But you say they are delighted with Walker’s coarse, and consider him as identified with them. Can you then go into a rupture with him without a rupture with them? The value of the iatereet you have, that Kansas shall be a conservative State, can only be measured by a ten-fold greater interest which lies beyond, and to which it is subordinate. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise has laid open to squatter sovereignty and to sectional contest and 6trife, the Neosho Territory, lying west of Arkansas on Red River and south of Kansas. This countiy is soon to be the theatre of such scenes as you have lately witr. «sed in Kansas. It will be occupied, so tar us the Free States are, in the main, to contribute to its population, not by emigrants in the ordinary sense, but, like Kansas, by a vast body of delegates from abolition societies, under pledge and commis sion, lo do all possible damage to the Sout h. Slave ry failing there, the alternative of a conservative free State, instead of an abolition State, will be worth almost nothing to the South ; for a fiee State in that country, with no more than the usual propor tion of abolitionists, would be far more dangerous to the Slave States thr u a thorough abolition State in the Kansas territory. There would be presented on one side of the line sugar and cotton plantations, with a dense black population and few whites to control them; on the other, an incendiary body of white men, employing all the means in their power to incite the blacks to violence and insurrection ; and without any of the hazards that would attend the same intermeddling on the frontiers of Virginia or Missouri; for here, the incendiary would tind black mobs able to pro tect or screen him. The condition which lias been most essential to the harmony of the Southern and Northern States, has been the fact, that as you go northward towards the frontier, the negro race be comes more and more sparse, until, at the line, it almost d : appears. Along the frontier, it is too much scattered for consultation or combinations, and if combinations were possible, they could not defend themselves against the vastly predominant white race. I believe that a frontier, with but few blacks occupying it, is the only practicable state of tumgs, as between the Slave ana Free States. 1 believe that with a free soil people occupying the left bank of the Red River, slavery would be an impracticability on the right bank. You appear to be fully impressed with the dangers that lie before us. You agree that the South cannot affored to let Abolition root itself in the Red River country. But what is to tie the character of the iustittuions there, depends very much upon what is to be the character of the population in Kansas, and this last matter may, in some degree, lie in >our hards. Though it be true, therefore, that Executive interference has led to your overthrow, and that Walker has perfect ed what his predecessors left unfinished, still it is worth while to consider which will be worth more to you, wisdom for the future, or revenge lor the past. The sphere of your influence is limited to Kansas. You can do something towards a better community than Abolitionists would have it. But you cannot make slavery in Kansas a National issue with any hope of being sustained by the South. *To attempt it would be to alienate those in Kansas, whom, otherwise you can place under a sense of gratitude towards you, and cause to fee that they are in a great degree dependent on you Now, sir, I have given you, in a condensed form, the substance of the reflections which I have sub mitted to friends at Leavenworth. They were re flections upon the general stat«- of things in Kansas, the position of Governor Walker being taken in at a part of that state of things. But it did not occur to me that I was defending the Kansas policy of the Administration ; and if one could possibly have drawn such an inference, then, I say, that my opin ion in that regard, was not left to inference. It must be borne iu mind, that in the conversa tions referred to, 1 was addressing a small body of helpless men. as I then thought, whose influence was limited to the affairs of Kansas, and who had no reason to hope that they could raise an issue, and give to the slave States a position iu that issue. You must not, therefore, infer that I would address the same ’language to the lusty, able-bodied South, If you can indulge me a moment louger, I will give you a brief view of things in Kansas. From the time I reached St. Louie, to the hour I left St. Joseph lor home, 1 heard the declaration on every hand, that the Republican party wanted a pro-slave ry Constitution established in Kansas. And such is the fact. At first, blush, it may appear incredible but a moment’s reflection will satisfy you that it is obliged to be so. The overthrow of slavery in Kan sas would falsify and bring into ridicule the gloomy forebodings of Seward and his confederates, on the passage of the Nebraska bill, and would verify and raise into repute, the sagacious predictions of Dem ocratic statesmen, that neither Kansas, or any other Territory, could ever become a slave State under the principles of the bill. In this event, the Repub licans think they see their certain overthrow as a party. Is it strange, then, that they deprecate the event ? Abolition in Kansas is but the minor pro position of anti-slavery; its major proposition com prehends the question of slavery throughout the Union. Can it be supposed that the party would prefer its special success in Kansas, involving its overthrow, as a party in the Free States, to a spe cial defeat in Kansas as the essential condition of its building up in the free States as a great, party, able to command power and to wield the major pro position of Abolition ? It cannot be supposed. You must, then, perceive, that a Black Republican, whether he be a mere demagogue, seeking office, or bona Jidc Abolitionist, aiming at the overthrow of slavery in the Uuion, is obliged, as a rational being, to desire a special failure in Kansas. This philosophy of Abolitionism first manifested itself to me in the California controversy, and was plainly stated by me, three years ago, upon the passage of the Nebraska Bill. I then wrote as fol lows : “But the Abolitionists will not mount the new plat form, although convinced that it would secure the Territory against slavery. Their object is to na tionals _• the sentiment and principle of Anti-slave ry so ulterior purposes, and they would sacrifice, for the present, this particular Territory, rather than abandon a principle by which they hope even tually to overthrow slavery everywhere.” This reasoning is, at first, limited to the head men, the masses acting upon the direct impulse; but, in process of time, the logic of the statesman penetrates the brain of the masses, and all act iu harmony. But what would overthrow the Republican party in ihc Free States, is just what would build up the Administration party* and hence that event which the Republicans deprecate in Kansas, is just the event which the other party desires. Thus, you will understand why it is that the Republicans refuse to go to the polls ; and why it is that the other side ap peals to them, upon their love of country and the union, to come torward to the polls and help to car ry the election. But the event in Kansas is not dependent on the course of the Abolitionists. It might have been foreseen, from the first, that those who gave such solemn assurances to the North, that the South would gain nothing by the Nebraska Bill, woulu take care that things should go right iu Kansas, whether the Abolitionists did their duty or not. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. Josei’h A. Woodward. B. U. Hill, E*q. Curious Arrangemket of a Hospital. —The large City Hospital of Chicago has been placed by the board of health under the charge of two medi cal boards—one of the allopathic school of medicine and the other of the homcepathic. To the latter only about one-fourth of the building has been al lotted, but more will be given if needed. Each pa tient, on entering, is to choose which school of phy sicians shall take him in charge. If he is indiffer ent, or unable to choose, he will be assigned to one or the other school, according as the w eek in which he enters may be odd or even, as numbered in the year. Thus the two systems are fairly matched against each other, and a sharp and careful rivalry will be inaugurated in the good work of saving life The respective boards are to keep records of the symptoms, treatment, and result of their cases, a published comparison of which at the eud of the year, would no doubt fcim an exceedingly interest ing study for the profession generally. Reconstruction of Parties.— The New York Herald says : “If Kansas is admitted as a s-.ave State, right or wrong, the Northern Democracy will disappear from the earth like a vap«*r ; it she is admitted as a free State, justly or unjust v. the re suit will be a split of the Southern Democracy and the organization of the secession wing as the nuc leus of a rabid Southern sectional party. v\ e take it for granted that Kansas w::l cotne in ar a tree State, and the Soutliem sections party indicated will be the first consequence. Thus, perhaps, as early as next summer we shall have a Southern sec tioual party, on the platform of the secessionists, brought out upon the course, while our ISortheru anthdavery forces will unquestionably gather con fidence and boldless from the free State solution of the Kansas test question. A Splendid Plant.— At a late exhibition ’of the Pennsylvania nortien’tura! Society, H. A Dreer presented a specimen of the Imperati ice Elizabeth Verbena.

The Principal Exporting Countries— The following are the estimated values of the exports of France, the United States and Great Britain, in 1847 and 1856: Increase m 1547 1856 Prance sl4o.<mMU>oo 325,000,000 185.000,000 U.

From Texas. The New Orleans Picayune, of the l&h contains Texas news t<? the 16th inst. The Galveatoh Civilian, of the 15th, in itb com | mercial article, says: We have encouraging accounts of the incoming crop from the interior Picking is now fairly in pro , gress. as far as our accounts rescb into th e interior, and we shall doubtless have a considerable acoes sion to the receipts ot the year ending this month I from the growth of 1857. Nevertheless, the sum | must show h great deficit—the present felling off : from last year being nearly six thousand bales, while that year itself was noted for its short crop. I There are indications of an early opening of tue full trade. The bark CuUosna ha* already arrived from New Y ork w ith an assorted cargo of me chan dise—the first installment of the fall supply from that quarter, though there had been previously one fall cargo from Europe. The first arrivals are usu ally uue in September: but from the number oi Texas purchasers wLo have recently been in the Northern markets, and the heavy amounts of goods now demanded by the interior, we anticipate unu sually largo receipts of merchandise at an early pe riod. The Civilian says the next Legislature promises to be one of the ablest that Texas has ever had. So far its returns have been received, only nine mem bers have been elected to the House who were mem ber? of the last House. The Galveston news of the loth, furnishes the sol o ving: The Indian tribes of Texas are passing into rapid decay. In 1853, the Indians of Texas were estima ted at *20.000. In 1856, the number from official ac counts, did not exceed 12,000. Some 1500 Indians till the reservation on the clear fork of the Brazos, make good crops; 3000 semi civilized Creeks, De lawares, and Cherokeeß are in Eastern Texas. In the North, 1000 Washita? and Waoos. There are 3000 Camanches. 1000 Li pans, and 4000 of all others, stragglers. From this report it will be seen that iu the course of a few years, from the very nature of things, the whole Indian tribes of Tex as will become extinct. The Galveston News notices a visit from Mr Stapp, the Collector a Indianola, and says : He has recently returned from a journey to the frontier and gives a moil deplorable account ot the destructive effects of the drouth. In many places, whold regions of country present nothing but a naked waste of destruction, without a green thing to be seen, except trees, and even these are often seen dying. Mauy people have moved away, aud the stock have nearly all bad to be driven away to other places to find subs stance. From Gonzales above towards Austin, the suffering has been very severe. Below Gonzales partial crops have been made, and in gome few instances pretty fair crops, until we reach Victoria county, where the crops are better. Judging from the accounts of others, we conclude that nearly the whole region of cooutry to the westward and above Gonzales has suffered quite as much as the country between Gonzales anti Aud tin. Os course this general loss of urops in the Wes tern interior of the Slate, must seriously affect the business of our western seaports, for a year to come. Still we are in hopes that late fall crops of com may be made to supply the necessities of the peo ple. The same paper has the following: A private letter from & friend in Houston informs us of some startling facts which have come to light in that city within a few days. A gang of thieves have been operating extensively there for years past, in running off negroes and ho ses, and securing suc k i plunder as lay in their way. They had laid a plot to kill the City Marshal, burn down Cain’s warehouse, and poiaon’a negro whom they wished to get rid of. Another negro, now in jail divulged these facts, and showed the authorities where a bottle of whiskey with strychnine in it was buried— also where an iron chest was hid, which bad been stolen a few nights before. It is said that Mr. Kuy kendall, who has been rearrested, is the chief of the gang. Another, named Edward Francis, is also in jail. The City Marshal, R. B. Boyce, goes to New Orleans to-day after another member, who left a few days ago with a negro in his possession. Con siderable excitement exists iu Houston against the person implicated in these villainies. The Galveston Civillian. of the 13th, says : The cotton crop on Oyster Creek is turning out well. The steamer Eclipse brought down this morning four balea of new cotton, one to Messrs. Powell & Ruthven, from Richmond ; we did not learn from what plantation ; and the other from the plantation of Gen. P. 11. Cunoy, of Austin county, to Messrs. R. & D. G. Mills. The Result in Tennessee. —The Knoxville Register says: The election in this State, on the Cth inst., resulted iu the election of Harris by about 10,- 000 majority; in the choice of seven Democratic and three American Congressmen ; and in a choice of a majority of Democrats in each branch of the Legislature, giving them a majority of from fifteen to twenty on joint ballot. The following is the Tenuess o delegation elect to the next Congress: AMERICANS. 2d District—Horace Maynard. sth “ Charles Ready. Bth “ F. K. Zollicofler. DEMOCRATS. Ist District—A. G. Watkins. 3d 44 S. A. Smith, lth 44 J. H. Savage. 6th “ G. W. Jones. 7th 44 J no. V. Wright. 9th 44 J. D. C. Atkins. 10th 44 W. T. Avery. The delegation stood five and five at the last ses sion. Steamers Burned. —The steamers Splendid and Moses Taylor, lying at the Cunard dock, Jersey City, w ere destroyed by fire on Friday morning last. The crew of the Moses Taylor had barely time to make their escape. The youngest son of Mr. Scott, the owner of the Splendid, it was feared, had perished in the flames. Texas Election.— The Democratic majority for Governor in 70 counties is 5,100, a gain of 84 votes on the last Governor's election. The Legislature is argely Democratic. So far the House stands 57 Democrats, 9 Opposition ; and the Senate 27 De mocrats, G Opposition. Reagan, deni, is elected to Congress, over Evans, American, by about 4,000 Minority. Bryan, dem., is the other Congressman elect. A Squadron at Boston. —Quite a formidable ar ray of battle ships are now lying at Boston. There is the Ohio and Vermont, ships of the line—each rating 84 guns ; the Roanoke and Merriraac, steam frigates—each rating 51 gun 3; the sloop of war Cyane, ‘2O guns, and the brig Dolphin, 12 guns; making in all an armament of 294 guns. The crew of the Roanoke have subscribed nearly S2OO in aid of the 44 Home of the Fallen,” a new institution in Boston, where inebriates are kept for reformation. The Lake Trade.— lt is complained in Buffalo that the shipping business on the Lakes this season lias been as unprofitable as that of the railroads—in consequence of the want of produce and passengers to transport. Thus we .see commerce as well as railroad stocks have suffered. There never has been a year, it in which a worse business been done on Lake Erie and the Upper Lakes. A Just Tribute. —We take the liberty, says the* Richmond Enquirer, of making public the following beautiful allusion to the patriotic and brilliaht ser vices of Edward Everett in the noble cause of secur ing Mount Vernon to Virginia. We make an extract from a private letter of an esteemed friend in Boston who himself ranks high in the Republic of Letters : “Most heartily do 1 sympathize with the efforts of the ladies of Virginia to recover that political Mecca of our land (Mount Vernon) —Mr. Everett has done nobly. You, at the South, can hardly appreciate the magnitude and true heroism of his labors. He lias been subject to vituperation, misconstruction and vehement abuse here ; because he has not made his Oration on Washington, the vehicle for partizan rancor ; because he has written in the spirit of Wash ington himself. But he has gone on, turning neither to the right uorto the left—undeterred by abuse, un disheartened by luke-warmnesft—devoting himself with a rare and self-sacrificing hardihood to his pa triotic object. The infirmities of approaching old age and present iil health, have not abated the fire of his eloquence or the server of his enthusiasm. Truly, from tfie South ought to proceed Done but words of good cheer to such a man laboring in such a cause.” Firing off the Mutineers—Horrible Scenes. The following extract from a letter of a British of ficer in India, showing how the mutineers were treated at Peshawur, makes us fear that barbarities are not wholly confined to the Sepoy side : A force of Europeans with guns was sent round the fort, one of which, Meerdan, was held by the 55th native infantry in open mutiny, they tried to escape when our force appeared, and some got ofi to Swat—the others were made prisoners. One hun dred and fifty were killed on the spot, nine tried by drumhead court-martial and instantly shot, includ ing a native officer of a regiment not in mutiny, who would not act as he was ordered. Othere were driven into the hills and killed by the hiilmen, a price of 10 rupees being set on their heads. The colonel of this regiment blew out his brains ij* dis gust at the mutiny. The villi&ns kept the r officers in confinement, and told them if they tried to escape they would roast them alive. They did, however, manage to escape. The force then Jwent and dis armed all the other regiments in the forts a ;d quiet • ed the uistrict. . Some of the two hundred prisoners of tie «-K>th have.been tried, and we blew forty of them, away from our guns, in presence of the whole f«'i ee, t hree days ago—a fearful but necessary examp/e, which has struck terror into their souls. Three les 4 Oi a square were formed, ten guns pointing outwards, the sentence of the court was read, a prisoner bound to each gun, the signal given and tne salve fired.— Such a scene I hope never again to witness—human trunks, heads, legs, arms, Ate., flyingT about m all directions. All met their fate with firmness but two, who would not be tied up ; so to save Ume they were dropped to the ground and their brains blown out by the musketry. Tea Tasting —A New York correspondent gives the following particulars of the effects of “tea tast ing" and sampling upon the constitutions of those engaged in the business : “The death of a famous tea broker in this city lately calls to mind the canons nature of his business. I wonder if any of your readers at the west know that their fastidiousness in the choice of the herd which cheers, but not inebriates, m the cause of the establishment of a prole.wion-called tea tasting - which is as certain death to a man as the continued cractice of opium eating. The success of the tea broker or taster depends upon the trained accuracy of his nose and palate, his experience in the wants of the American market, and a keen business tact. If he has these qualities in high cultivation, he may make from f'20,000 to f4U,000 per annum while he lives and die of ulceration ol the lungs. He over hauls a cargo of tea, claasities it, and determines the value of each sort. In doing this, he first looks at the color of the leaf and the general cleanliness of it. He next takes a quantity of the herd in his hand, and breathing his warm breath on It, he snuffs up the fragrance. In doing this, he draws into lus lungs a quantity of irritating and stimulating dust, winch is by no means wholesome. Then Bitting down at a table in his office, on which is a long row of little porcelain cups and a pot of hot water, he draws' the tea and tastes the infusion. In this way he classifies the different sorts to the minutestshade, marks the different prices, and is then ready to com pare his work with the invoice. The skid of these tasters is fairly marvellous, but the effect of the business on their health is as I have said, ruinous. They grow lean, nervous and consumptive. At the end of a hard day 's work they feel and act as fidgetty mid cross ae a hysterical old maid. Receipts from Customs. —The revenue retains from several principal ports for July, 1857, were as stated below: New York $7,002,203 24 Boston Philadelphia 647,514 07 Baltimore 219,008 00 New Orleans 174,053 00 Estimated for minor ports 150,000 00 Total $8,955,591 90 The receipts for the present month will be as shown by the last fortnight’s returns, not far from $6,500,0%. The unexpectedly heavy receipts for this month justifies an estimate for the quarter of $20,500,000 — N. Y. Courier. New York, Aug. 19.—Among the passengers by ihe Arabia to day was Madame Frezzolina, the cel bra ted soprano, engaged by Mr. Uilman for the Academy of Music. Correspondence of (Ac St. Louis Rtpub/icon. From the Plains. Camt rear Fort Kearney, Aug. 3,1857. Having a few momenta to spare before the mail leaves for the States, and my train for its futuie des tination, California, agreeably to promise, I will send you a few dc tliugs ot cur movements since leaving Independence. ; On the 2d oi July the expedition started, making ! rapid progress and meeting with unusual good suc- I ores, having met with no accident, and arriving at ! this point the 31st of the same month. JSo far we have encountered no interruptions from Indians— the ti> ing reports reached us oi Cheyenne? being on the Little Bine, a few miles West of Fetfe son’s ranche. Upon arriving at the Fort, we saw, a short distance to the right, a Pawnee village, consisting of one hundred and fifty lodges. They are on a hunting expedition, and while passing we saw a band of them returning, laden with buffalo, to th* number of fifty. Last night the men comprising the party, whv had in charge two beet cattle trains of Messrs. Uu» sell of Waddell, intended for Utah, came to the Fort., bringing intelligence that while “nooning,'’ a party of twenty live Cheyennes warriors made their ap pearance, professing great friendship, holding our their hands, dte. The men invited them to eat, but when it was tendered ihey indiguautiy knocked it away, and then one of the party attempted to get into one of the veagoas, but upon being pushed off by Sanborn, who was standing near, he very deli berately shot him dead; another named Robb was also shot in the thigh, causing a compound fracture of the bone. They fil ed upon the Indians and t hen made their escape, bringing the wounded man with them. They packed him upon the bare back of a mule, which caused him such agony that be entreat ed them to slioofc him and end his misery. The Indians carried away not less than eight hun dred head of cattle, besides* twenty-one horses aud mules. The wage us they burned. This occurred some twenty miles from this point, aud five miles this side of Plum creek. Dr. Cooper, our surgeon, by invitation of l)r. Summers of the Fort, statred this morning to consult on the case. The poor fellow now lies in the hospital of the Fort. \V m. Shan bourn, the one killed, was a native of New* Hamp shire, and Win. Robb from Kentucky. We expect to pass the place where this sad affair occurred either this evening or to morrow morning. Major Johnston, of the U S. Intantry, who has been awaiting at this post, an escort of a large train to Fort Laramie, has joined us and proceeds west ward with me to-day, being unskilled myself in military discipline, he has kindly offered to take charge of that branch of the expedition. I have ninety Mined men, together with Mr. Godwon, ot Clay county, Missouri, and his fifteen herdsmen, with his tram of 400 head of beef cattl**, and the returning company of Russell &• Waddell’s train, accompanied by ten soldiers from the Fort, who go out to recover the stolen stock. Wo will present, I hope, an invincible foe to the Cheyennes, as for myself, I apprehend no difficulty watever. Very truly, your friend 'Wm. F. Magraw. A Train forUtah.— The Atchison Squatter Sove reign of the Ist inst., says : There is now fitting out at this place one of the largest of those caravans or “trains,” by which the commerce between the States and the great Salt Lake Valley is carried. Mr. J. C. Irwin, ot Indepen dence, Mo., is the proprietor, and he is freighting his train for Messrs. Livingston, Kinkade & Co., merchants of Salt Lake City, and Mr. Howard Livingston, sutler in the 2d Regieraeut of U. S. Dragoons for Utah Territory The train will consist of teventy-three wagons, 876 oxen, and 90 men. It will be laded with 140 tons of assorted merchandies, adapted to the ■ Salt Lake trade. Some idea of the immense value of the goods, which will be carried by this train, may possibly be had, when we state that the freight alone upon them from here to Salt Lake will exceed $40,000. The wagons are now being loaded at the ware house of E. C. Wolfolk, and it is surrising to see the amount of goods that can be stowed away in one of these “prairie scows.” The wagons are all got up in the old style, with broad tires, stout wood aud iron work, deep beds painted blue, with bows, aud covered with canvass so as to conmletely pro tect the goods from rain or storms. The “motive power” of each wagon will be six yokes of oxen, but a number of extra yokes will be taken alohg to guard against accideuts, or to assist in difficult places. This train will start to-day or ;Monday next, and it will require from sixty to ninety days to make the trip, the length of time depending in some measure upon the grass, the state of the roads, &c. When the train has arrived at Salt Lake and dis charged its freights, the cattle and wagons will be sold out, and the men who accompany it Iwill either remain in the Territory, proceed to California, or return to “the States” in the spring. Government Receipts and Expenditures.— The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer gives the following statement of receipts and expenditures of the United States, for the fiscal year ending June 21), 1857 : Receipts. From Customs. $63,875,905 From sales of Public Lauds 3,828,485 Incidental aud Miscellaneous 1,018,809 $68,724,192 Expenditures. Civil, Miscel. and For. Intercourse $29,531,922 Interior, Pension and Indians 5,358,274 War 19,261,774 Navy.’.’ 12,424,363 Old Public Debts 503 Redemption of Loan of 1812 516,439 do do. 1846 714,014 do do. 1847 1,000,000 do. do. 1848 898,150 Creditors of Texas 772,352 Redemption of Bounty Land Stock 400 Premium on Stock redeemed 373,571 I nterest on debt 1,678,265 R ademption on Treasury Notes 100 Total $70,822,724 Excess of Expenditures, includ’g redemp tion Public Debts over Receipts $2,097,53^ The correspondent remarks: “The table above given furnish materials for inter esting comparisons between the different branches of expenditure. Thus it is seen that while the civil administ ration for a nation of nearly 30,000,000 costs but twenty nine and a half millions, or about one dollar per head, the maintenance of ajstandiug army of under 15,000 men coots nineteen and a quarter millions, or about $ 1,250 for each man. And so of our Navy. It comprises not over 10,000 officers and seamen, and costs $1,242 per head. It is a true mili tary adage, that there never waa a cheap war.— Fighting is the most expensive of all amusements, as most men who have indulged in it on private ac count know to their cost.’’ The Courier also gives the following comparative statement of receipts into the National lYeasury for the past seven years : Customs. Lands, dkc. 1850-1 49,017,568 3,295,412 1852- 47,339,326 2 289,060 1853- 58,931,865 2,405,709 1854.4 64,224,190 9,325,514 1855- 53,025,794 11,978,136 1856- 64,022,863 9,895,278 1857- 63,875,005 4,817,286 Flour, Grain anti Pork.— The Cincinnati Ga zette of the 18th says : The market for Flour, un der continued heavy receipts, is further depressed, aud prices to-day receded fully 25 cents per bbl., closing dull and heavy. Wheat is very dull and heavy, under large supplies, a diminished export, demand, and a reluctance on the part of city mil lers to operate. There have been buyers for the Northern markets up to this time at comparatively high figures—prices relatively higher than Flour in this or other markets, but is now being checked, owing to the late heavy failures in Rochester and New York,and the apprehension of further trouble at the former place. White, which has been chiefly purchased for shipment, is lower, ranging from $1 25 to $1 34, but red has not given way materi ally. The market for all descriptions, however, is quite unsettled, and the general tendency is iu fa vor of buyers. The receipts since Saturday com prise 23,789 bush., and of Flour 2,164 bile. Com is 6-mer, at 70'&73c; Rye is dull and declining. Harley is neglected and prices are nominal ; Oats have declined to 35c. for new ; but there is an im proved demand, Whiskey is dull at 25c. Owing to the light stock of provisions the market is quiet, but prices are firm. A small lot of ice cured thin mess Pork sold at $22 50. We hear of a sale of 1.000 hogs, deliverable with in the last fifteen days of November, at $7. There were several buyers to-day at the same figure, but sellers did not seem disposed to meet them. Ow ing to the scarcity and high price of products, pack ing will commence early, and the first offerings will be taken free at full rates. Penny Wise and Pound Foolish. —The latest illustration of this maxim is a case which occurred in the commercial circles of Cleveland, Ohio, a few days ago. An ancient broker of that city, who knows howto save even the shadow of a continental dime, having reflected upon the tariff adopted by the express companies for the transportation of money packages, and the great certainty and despatch ar rived at in their delivery, resolved on a plan of pay ing less than the regular fees. The rates for money packages are calculated upon the value of the con tents as marked upon the outside of the envelope. He enclosed $2350 in an envelope, and having been veiy careful to mark it “1500,” on the outside, paid the rates on the latter sum to the express company. The package was unfortunately lost. The banker did not dare to claim the whole contents, $2350, and the company with its usual promptness paid oyer the amount registered. The package, as we are in formed, turned up at last through the eflorta of the company's agents, and its contents disclosed the fact that the express company had made just SBSO by the operation. The question naturally suggests itself to the banker whether he would not have been more just to himself to have paid rates on the whole contents, and saved his pile from such a loss as he has sustained. Tea as a Summer Drink.— Frederick Sala, wri from Russia to the Household Words , mentions tfci on a table near him stands “a largish tumbler filled with a steaming liquid of a golden color, in which floats a thin slice of lemon It is tea —tin* most delicious, the most, soothing, the most thirst-nl laying drink you can have in summer time and in Russia.” T» a flavored with a slice of lemon we have never tried; neither are we prepared to re commend mh a Summer beverage, tea steaming hot, as Snla does. Hut ten made strung (as we like it. or as strong as you like it,) well sweetened, with good milk, or better, cream in it, in sufficient quan tity to give it a tiara yellow color, and the whole mixture cooled in an ice chest to the temperature of ice water, is “the most delicious, the most soothing, the most thirst-allaying drink'' we have ever treaten ourselves or friends to. We know of nothing to compare with it for deliciousueaa or refreshment.— •It cheers, but not inebriates Its stimulus is gen tle, its flavor exquisite. Try it, good reader; make a note of this now. and when the Summer fever vis its you, and you feel, with Sidney Smith, that for the sake of coolness you could get out of your flesh and sit in your bones, try our specific of ice-cold tea. Ice cream is the only preparation fit to be mention ed with our cold tea. A New Fire Ladder. —The new fire ladder of , Mr. Van Amiinge wa* exhibited, yest rday lifter- : <i*on at the corner of Sixth and Walnut streets It is made on the extension principle, occupying but a small space, but can be extended to the length of 75 feet. It was driven to the south-east corner of Sixth and Walnut, placed in position, and in simply turning a crank, it shot out one reach alter another, and in a minute or two, its hooks were hitched over the top of the five-story building there located, and persons were passing up and down the whole dis tance. To the upper end of the ladder a pulley is • attached, over which runs a rope with a basket at i one end. which is easily raised to any window un derneath the ladder, and persona taken from or put *into the buiMing. After a short time, the ladder \was drawn in, tne carnage driven to Bacon s Mer cantile College, North-west corner of Sixth and ‘Walnut, and immediately the ladder was raised to tbe top of that building, and all its advantages ex hibi+ea. .. . Its advantages are, that it is light , easily drawn by one horse ; is readily extended ; is longer than any ladder in the city . and is adapted for easily re moving persons from burning buildings, after escape by stair and door is removed. We think it will be very serviceable.— Cincinnati Gazette , 19 th insl. Singular Electric Phenomenon. —During the heavy thunder storm which prevailed in Chelsea last Thursday evening, an electric ball was seen to descend from a great height out of the clouds in a vertical direction, and to approach to within 20 or 30 fret of a stable connected with the brick works of Mr. C. H FersoD, situated near the dividing line between this city and Malden. It exploded with a terrific noise, scattering the fire in every direction, like the burning of a shell, or the springing of a mine. The Pioneer and Telegraph says : “Provi dentially the electric globe was not permitted to reach tile stable before its explosion, for, had it dona so, great loss of lite, it is feared, would have been the result, there being at the time some twelve men and five horses inside the stable. As it was, oome of the men were knocked down, but not ma terially injured articles of furniture and clothing were scattered about in dire confusion, and the room was filled with a dense and suflocating smoke. The people in the adjoining houses also felt the shock, but escaped injury.” —Boston Traveller, Aug. 18. BY TELEGRAPM LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ANLLO SAXON. Quebec, Aug. 23. — The Montreal ocean ete.un ship Company s screw profiler, Anglo Saxon, An drew McMaster, Captain, has arrived from Liver pool, with dates to Wednesday, August 12th. Liverpool Market. Liverpool, Aug. 23.—Accounts from the United States caused a slight improvement in prices, par ticularly in middling grades, but the nmk« r ekv. d on Wednesday afternoon rather quiet. Sa'es of three days, 17,000 bales, of which speculators took 1000 bales, aud exporters 1000 bales Breadstuff's generally closed quiet. London, Wednesday, Aug.

Three hundred mile, ol the submarine cable were safely deposited in the ocean on the 10th inst Com maturation was hourly kept up with Valentia llav, and the whole enterprise so far successful. Th 6 rumored suspension of negotiations between Spain and Mexico needs confirmation. The Ministers of Kussia, Prussia, Prance and Sar dinia, were preparing to leave Constantinople. No later intelligence received from India. The American schooner Jupiter, has been cap tared, and condemned as a slaver, on the coast of Africa. The Anglo-Saxon reports constant had winds throughout her passage, which will probably delay the progress of the Telegraph fleet expedition. The fleet did not start until the 7th August. The lasi reports from the expedition were received when the. fleet were a few hundred miles from the coast.— There was no perciptible difference in signals, and the cable was being deposited at the rate of five miles per hour, and all on board were satisfied of the success of the enterprise. No other news of importance. Terrific Explosion - Dupont's Powder Mil!. Wri.MiNGTON, Del.. Aug. ill!.—On yesterday a terrific explosion took place at Dupont’s Powder Mills in this place, loss considerable. A. Dupont, aud two other men known to be killed, and several mortally wounded. Telegraph Courtesy to the Press. Washington, August 21.— Mr. John Kendall, the Superintendent of the Washington Telegraph Line, has courteously granted to the Press the use of the Southern line for the announcement of the arrival of the Telegraph ileet at Newfoundland- The prevalence of head winds may cause a few days delay, but the Squadron are expected at Trini ty Bay by Tuesday or Wednesday. The Sussex Clip liner. New York, Aug.2s.—The steamship North Star has arrived, and brings London papers of the 12th instant. In the race for the Sussex Cup, which took place on the 11th August, Prioress, Mr. Ten Broecks American filly, came iu fourth. Parliament would probably close about the 23d instant. Panic in Wnll Street. New York, Aug. 25.—A panic has been created by the reported suspension of John Thompson, De laury, Isilin & Co', and E. S. Monroe, all Bankers. Attachments amounting to nearly $2,000,0(10 have been issued against the Ohio Trust Company. A large decline in the Stock market is anticipa ted. Death of a Siranger at Colniabia.l Coi.umiua, s. C., Aug. 25.—A stranger by the name of W. H. Smith, from Panola, Miss., died at the Congaree House to-day. New York Market. Nkw York, August 21.—The cotton market is steady, with sales of 400 bales.

Red wheat $1.45 end white $1.70; white corn ‘.15. Naval stores firm ; Rice lower and quoted at 5 to SJo. Washington, Aug. 20.—Gov Walker in bis offi cial report to the Administration, vindicates him self from the charges made at the South, declaring that he never proposed to make suggestions to the Constitutional Convention of Kansas, but, when asked his opinion, indicated that a previous resi dence in the territory six months, in addition to the qualifications adopted in the Convention, should constitute the right to vote at the next and future elections. He sayß: “It is extraordinary, that while tins accusation of letting every man vote who may happen to be in the territory on the day of election, nas been pre ferredin the Sout h as indicating my desire to let iu abolition vagrants to control the result—the Repub licans iu Kansas have drawn an entirely different conclusion, viz: that I designed in this manner to bring many thousands of Missourians into the terri tory to decide tho contest.” The President proclaims the binding force of a treaty of friendship and commerce between the U. States and Persia. The treaty provides for the residence of ambassadors near each government. There will be Persian consuls at Washington, New York and New Orleans, aud as many American consuls will reside iu Persia. Washington, Aug. 21.—The Interior Depart ment has received intelligence from reliable gentle men, and from fugitive Mormons, that Brigham Young is preparing to resist Gen. Harney ; that he has relapsed into the grossest infidelity am', atheism, and be continues to hold up the government of the United States to the supreme contempt of the Mor mons. Among the dispatches just, received by govern lnent is the correspondence between one of our na val officers and the Governor of Singapore, relative to his ordering our flag to bo hauled down by a British officer from the Dutch bark Henrietta Ma ria, which had been abandoned by her officers, nud most of her crew, taken possession of by the master of an American Bhip. Gov. Blundell earnestly disclaims any want of respect to the American flag or the righis of Ameri can stops he felt it to be his duty to take, but the matter does not here terminate. The bark was de livered to the government of the Netherlands, in India, on the ground that the vessel being Dutch, the Chinese coolies found on board, if innocent of mutiny, had a claim on the owners, and if guilty, were punishable only by the Dutch criminal court. The sale of the Delaware (Kansas) Indian truHt. lands yielded over $587,900. St. Paul, Aug. 21.—The Democratic Constitu tional Convention have passed a resolution to ap point a committee to confer with the Republicans for the submission of but one constitution to the people. It is not probable that the members will meet in one convention, but a great obstacle to the immediate settlement of the difficulties is re moved. The rumored collision between the Sioux and Chippewa Indians is unfounded. Washing ton, Aug. 20.—The Geueral Land Of fice to-day decided against the pre-emption claim of a colored man tc3GO acres of land in Wisconsin, ta king the ground of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case that “a free negro of the African race whose ancestors were brought to this country and sold as slaves is not a citizen within the meaning of the constitution of the United States.” This deci sion of the Las id Office applies to other similar cases pending. Gov. Walker, iu his official despatches recently received, says that in one point he lias been grossly misrepresented, namely: as desiring that every man should vote who happened to be in the territo ry on the day of the election for the ratification of the constitution. This, he remarks, would be desi rable if there were conclusive evidence that all such persons were actual bona Jide settlers, but the only sufficient and usual proof of such a fact would be some previous residence. On this point, which is one of detail, be had never proposed to make suggestions to the convention, although wheu asked his opinion by the members of the body, he had indicated a previous residence of three or six months, and that the same qualifications should be adopted in the constitution in regard not only to that, but to all future elections; and in bis judgment one or other of these terms ot residence will tie adop ted by the convention from which he anticipates cordial co-operation.
