At a “large and enthusiastic” meeting of
the citizens of Union county, held at Ulairs
vill<> on the 17th inst., Gov. Johnson's veto of
the lliwussec Railroad hill was denounced in
the most decided terms, and his reasons forthe
veto were characterized as unstatesinanlike,
anti-democratic, and contrary to the spirit of
the constitution.

Another Alabama tax-collector, Mr. Antho
ny of Butler county, wus robbed of the money
he had collected for the State (sf>ooin amount)
on the loth inst. The rogues appear to
know and keep their eyes on the movements
of the moneyed men, and perhaps they arc
generous enough to consider that the State
can better lbsc the amount than an individual.
They set tire to Mr. Anthony’s comcrih, and
while he was out extinguishing the lire they
entered the house and stole thfi money. He
was prepared to start the next day lor Mont
gomery to pay the amount into the treasury.

Brown and Harris, who were some time since
arrested in Charleston for vending Lottery
tickets, under the assumed names ot Lckford
and Silshee, were tried last week and found
guilty. As, however, there is no statutory
provision in South Carolina tor the punish
ment of the specific fraud which they were en
gaged in, they can only be lined and imprison
ed for a “misdemeanor.”
Lecomto Beaten.
The celebrated racer Lecomte was beaten
over the Natchez Course, on the 15th inst., by
Mr. B. Ten Broeek's colt l'ryor, by imp. Glen
coe. The odds before the race were 100 to 15
or 20 on Lecomte. The race was Avon by Pry
or in two heats —time 7:47, 7:42;;. ltwus his
first four mile race, and has greatly raised
him in the estimation of sportsmen.
Last week the schooner Falmouth was seiz
ed by the United States District Attorney, as
• lie was leaving the port of New Y ork, on a
charge of being engaged in the slave trade.—
Evidence in support of the charge was found
on searching the vessel, and she was brought
back to the Navy Yard and her crew imprison
ed. All the persons on board were Portugese,
and it was strongly suspected that the Portu
gese Consul in New York was implicated in the
matter.
The steamship Quaker City arrived at New
York from Liverpool on the 21st inst. As she
sailed three days before the Persia, her news
was ant icipated by the latter vessel.
The Pacific.
The steamship Persia brought no tidings of
the Pacific, and her intelligence from Great
Britain represented the public mind to he in
great and painful suspense as to the fate of the
missing steamer. The Arctic (which the dis
patch from New York, published by us yester
day, announced ns coming up the bay) reports
that she ascertained nothing about the Pacific,
and did not find any portions of wreck. The
only point yet to hear from, which it. is thought
i lie missing steamer might have reached, is
the Azores or Western Islands. Should the
nest arrivals from those Islands bring no news
of her, hope will be abandoned, and the Paci
fic will he regarded as certainly lost.
—♦—
Great Britain and Persia.
We learn from the budget of news brought
by the steamship Persia, that the difficulties
between Great Britain and Persia were still
unsettled and appeared to be approaching a
hostile issue. The precise aspect of the quar
rel at present is not generally known; but it
was known that the British ministry had re
quested the Bombay government to send some
vessels of war to the Persian Gulf “ for the
purpose of protecting British interests,” and
it was rumored that Persia was actively en
gaged in fitting out vessels for the supposed
purpose of attacking the English fleet operat
ing against the coasts of the country.
The resolution adopted by the House of
Representatives on the 19 th inst., authorizing
the Speaker to appoint a committee of three
to proceed to Kansas Territory and obtain evi
dence in relation to the disturbances there,
was adopted by the votes of the Freesoilers,
and that party boast of having achieved a tri
umph by the passage of the resolution. The
proposition to send a committee to Kansas was
reported by Mr. Stephens, and supported by
Southern members generally, in lieu of the
Froesoil project to bring a few witnesses to
Washington; but finding that their scheme
would he defeated, the Freesoilers substituted
an amendment to Mr. Stephens’ proposition,
; o as to give the appointment of the commit
tee to Speaker Banks, and in this form pass
ed it. Os course, the majority of the commit
tee will be Freesoilers.

The ‘Pharisee’ and tlie ‘Money Changers.’
P. T. Barnnm—whose character for honesty
has been portrayed by himself in his “Autobi
ography”—was under examination” in New
York the other day, when some question im
plying a doubt whether he had honestly given
in all his property was propounded : to which
the bankrupt humbugger indignantly replied:
“1 wish you to understand that the standard
of morality for showmen is a peg or two higher
than that found in the atmosphere of Wall
street.” Very complimentary to the “bulls”
and the “bears.”
The Sixth District Court of New Orleans has
decided the squabble about the Sheriffalty in
favor of John M. Bell, the Executive and Leg
islative appointee, and granted a mandamus
requiring Mr. llufty to give up the office to
Mr. Bell forthwith.
Detroit, March 19.
Seven of the eight Judges of the Supreme
Court of Michigau have affirmed the constitu
tionality of the Prohibitory Liquor Law of
that State, which is similar to the law of New
York.
K Contrast of National Spirit.
In Paris, the crowned usurper suppresses
the publication by the press of any article of
fensive to the government, and sometimes
stops the newspaper itself: yet the people sub
mit. In Nicaragua, recently, the weekly gov
ernment paper failed to make its appearance
at the appointed time, and the soldiers of the
army became so vexed and impatient about it,
that Gen. Walker sent orders to the office that
the paper must be issued the next day, or he
would send a detachment of soldiers to arrest
every one concerned in the establishment. —
When the soldiers arrived at the office at the
hour set the next day, the printers were lock
ing up the forms, and the paper was issued at
a rate of speed never attained by a hand press
before. All hands had been working like
beavers since the receipt of the notification.
Both the French custom and this act of
Walker were despotic and arbitrary measures,
and would not he to.leratcd in a country of
popular freedom and well established law.—
But the impatience of the American soldiery
to receive their weekly budget of news, com
pared with the tame submission of the French
to the suppression of their newspapers, is what
makes the contrast favorable to the character
of our people.

A Letter from Kansas.
Ddi.aw uu: City, Kansas Tenitory, |
Feb. 28, 185 ti. i
Dear Sun: —Upon a consideration of the im
portance of Kansas Territory to the South, I
have resolved, notwithstanding my inability,
to give a slight description of the inducements
that are visible to 4 the agricultural, mechnical
and professional emigrant, that may bend his
course hither, especially in the neighborhood
where I write this. In the first place, wc may
congratulate ourselves upon the apparent tran
quility of the country, and also upon the firm
ness with which the rights of the Territory
have been recognized by the Executive : and
although the abolitionists threaten us with an
increase of their species in the spring, still it
is very apparent that the Freesoilers have
found themselves too seriously checkmated
ever to make a considcrableetlectivemove. As
far as the institution of slavery is concerned,
more safety is felt for its existence, and slaves
are deemed here as safe as in the everglades
of Florida.
The tidings have already reached us that
many of all classes are on the point of start
ing from Georgia to Kansas. Farmers will
here find a very rich prairie soil, producing
wheat and corn to a large extent to the acre:
also hemp, the soil comparing favorably with
the best land in the State of Missouri. Land
can be obtained very easily in the vicinity of
Delaware, and although much in the immedi
ate neighborhood has been taken up, still there
is room for as many as choose to come.
A splendid field here offers itself to the me
chanic in almost every trade. Brick-makers
get nine dollars per thousand for their brick at
the kiln, and land for the purpose of making
can he had easily almost at any point. Bricks
arc worth sl2 per thousand to lay. Carpen
ters and stone-masons arc paid $2,50 per day,
and hard to be found at that; much demand
exists for blacksmiths, tinsmiths, Ac., through
out the Territory, even at the present time,
and as the spring advances a greater demand
will still exist.
Professional men may here at least find
plenty of work at any of the professions, if
they will but content themselves with the
freshness of the country and be willing to
forego some of the luxuries to be found in the
older settled States. The lawyer and doctor
can find here many towns where lie can settle
himself ami grow with its growth ; ultimately
will find himself attaining an independence
where lie will at least have commenced with a
certain livelihood.
1 would like to give you a few items concer
ning the city of Delaware, hoping that some
from your neighborhood will stop here, at least
to see what can be done. The town is about
one year old, and notwithstanding the extraor
dinary severity of the weather, building has
gone on to a considerable extent, and prepara
tions are being made for extensive operations,
as soon as the spring will have opened. One
great desideratum Delaware City certainly en
joys to a greater extent, probably, than any
place in the Territory; that is, a good harbor,
very easy of access, and at which all steamers
touch both going and coming from and to St.
Louis.
We will have a steam Ferry very shortly
running from here to Missouri, which will fa
cilitate the business of Delaware very much.
Mills are also on the point of erection here,
! and altogether our town, though new, begius
to assume considerable importance among the
towns of the Territory.
After a long contest with Leavenworth City,
the county seat of Leavenworth is permanent
ly located at Delaware City, and an appropri
i atiou for a court house will shortly be made :
I this ol course will add considerably to the in
; terest of the citizens. Delaware is an excel
lent place of debarkation for emigrants, as
from here facilities may be had to go through
all the Territory, and in the immediate neigh
borhood are to be found some of the richest
! lands in the Territory, and also a sincere wel
come from all the population.
1 will probably write you further at some
other time : in the meantime l must thank you
for your indulgence.
1 am yours, &c.,
COMMODORE
Homocide.
A man by the name of Evans Arnold was
killed by ltodrick Evans on Thursday evening
last in this county, a few miles north of this
city. The parties, who it appears were cousins,
were at a log rolling at the residence of the
lather of the latter, when a quarrel ensued.—
Arnold drew his knife and advanced on Evans,
who, picking up a stick, struck the other a
blow across the head, which resulted in his
death on the same evening.— Atlanta InicUir/en

Thinking Hard Words,
“llaus !” said a Dutchman to his urchin son,
whom he had just been thrashing lor swearing
at his mother, “Vat's dut you’re tinkin - so
vickid apout, in the corner dare ?” “I ain't
tink nott’n.’’ “You lie, you fagahone—you
tinks cot dam—and now 1 11 vip you for dat.”
The Gray-Bay Mare.
“ Well, sir, 1 can just bring a mare that
will trot the legs off your horse, any day. She
can go inside ”
“ Os the track ?” interrupted a bystander.
“ You may hot high she’ll try,” was the an
swer. The speaker familiarly known as Big
Bill here rose from his seat near the stove, in
the Horse and Halter bar-room, and advanc
ing towards the man he first addressed, and
added, “And now, Sifter, if you want to trot
your horse, Hagbng, again my gray mare, La
dy Shinbone, say the word, and we'll trot V
“ Done:” said Sifter. “ i’ll trot my horse
against your gray mare, a mile heat, to-mor
row afternoon, weather permitting, fifty dollars
a side.”
This little affair settled, all parties at once
renewed their legitimate business —whisky
drinking and talking horse.
“ 1 never sawflics worse than they are now,”
said Big Bill: “ they worry Lady Sliinbone’s
life out of her. She’s ‘blood’ all over, and a
mighty thin-skinned beast to that ; conse
quence is, the (lies peg it into her like sixty.
I’d give something to know how to drive them
off.”
“ Keep your stable dark,” said a man with j
a white hat.
“ Keep a tly net on her,” added the man
who struck Bill Patterson.
“ Rub her with pcn’r’yal,” suggested an
apothecary.
“ Try pizzerinctum intment,” suggested the
apothecary’s enemy.
“Use a tly brush,” slylyinsinated old Uncle
Ned, and as he spoke a bright light shot into
his black eyes. There was an idea behind
them, and as he jerked the corners of his
mouth down and looked serious, a looker on in
the Horse and Halter took a little note of it.
A few minutes afterwards he motioned to Big
Bill, and drawing him away from the rest of
the crowd into a coiner, said with a mysterious
air :
“ I know au infallible roccipe, Bill. There
is no use in telling the crowd of it, but as you
are a friend 1 will tell you, coN-fidently, re
member, eoN-lidently.”
“ Certain, honor bright,” confirmed Big
Bill.
“ Well, then, you go git a lot of walnut leaves
and make a strong decoction just as strong as
you can make it. Wash your gray mare with
it and to-morrow you’ll sec if she don’t look
like a different beast.”
“ Did you ever try it yerself ?” asked Bill.
“ Yes,” answered Ned,” my old bay horse
owes half his good looks to the decoction.”—
Whereupon Big Bill again joined the social
circle, and after a few flirtations with the
whisky bottle rose up and departed. The de
coction was on his mind, liquor in his head,
and the gray marc in the stable. As lie got
near home he remembered that a walnut tree
stood back of the road, near his house, so haul
ing down a fence rail he made a vigorous at
tack on the lower limbs of the tree, and soon
had leaves enough on the ground to “keep the
flies out of the whole State,” as he judiciously
remarked to himself, while employed in trying
to gather up tlic leaves. “ Never see such
leaves,” lie soliloquized, “they stick to the
ground as if they were glued there.” He said
this after making several futile attempts at
gathering up oue especially large one, that
kept eluding his gvasp. He made a desperate
luuge at it, and over he went. “Take oare old
boy,” said lie, “don’t go to cutting up such
capers. Steady, now, steady !” and like the
memorable Toodlcs, he balanced himself on
one thumb, preparatory to assuming the per
pendicular—he assumed it. “Guessl’ve got
enough ; no use taking more than you want,
you know,” said he, as he cast a longing look
at the big leaf which liad already caused him
one tumble. “ Old fellow, I’ll leave you just
where you are, 1 don’t mind you,” and closely
grasping to his breast all be liad gathered, he
cork-screwed home. When he had got there
lie had just two ideas left, one was a big cop
per kettle to boil the leaves in, and the other
was the gray mare ; whether he had to put
the copper kettle into the gray marc, or the
mare into the kettle, was more than lie could
cypher out. Luckily he stumbled over the
pump, and finding a bucket there filled with
water, lie instantly plunged liis head in, “ up
to the handle,” several times; then taking
breath he went in several times more, finally
feeling “as if somebody had taken a lot of
blankets off his brains.” Cooled off, he boiled
up the walnut leaves, made the decoction, and
going out to the stable, by the light of the
young new moon, which kindly lent itself for
the occasion, he “soused the beast,” to use his
i own expression, “till she hadn’t a dry hair on
her hide.” “Now, my lady,” continued lie,
“you won’t be at home to receive no more fly
calls, and that tail of yours will know a little
rest. To-morrow you’ve got to spread your
self agin Ragbag, a mile heat. I’ve bet fifty
on you, old woman ; don’t disappoint me.”—
And after this exhortation Big Bill cleared out
of the stable.
Next morning Big Bill went out to the sta
ble, threw open the door, looked in, the gray
mare was gone ! and there stood a bay mare
in her place. Bill opened his eyes till they
reached the roots of his hair, which stood up
straight. “What are you doing here, my la
dy ?” asked he of the bay mare. A peculiar
switch of the tail, a shake of the mane, and
side look from her large liquid eyes, induced
Bill to look closer at her. “By all the trots!”
he burst out, “ that cleans down everything
I've heard of lately, a gray mare turned into a
bay; somebody hold me! the end of the
world ! the—.” Bill suddenly checked him
self, “the walnut leaves boiled. Theydidit!”
Yes, they did it; and Lady Shinbone, the gray
mare, was now a sight to behold ; she was of
an ugly bay color, with stripes, something of
the appearance of a piece of mahogany veueer
iug in the rough. “ Now,” continues Bill,
“you’re a beauty, you are ! Nothing can take
the devil out of that eye of yours, though ;
there’s grit there; proof again all walnut
leaves, Past, Present, and Future.”
In the afternoon Bill was on hand with his
“varigated” mare: audhaviugduly driven over
to the llorsc and Halter tavern, lie gave the
mare in charge of the hostler, first seeing her
well blanketed, and then went into the bar
room. Here lie found Sifter, the owner of
the buy horse, Ragbag, who at ouec accosted
Bill.
“ Here 1 am, you see, ready for the trot, put
up your money. Colonel Stubbs shall hold
the stakes. You arc to trot your gray more
against my bay horse, that’s the agreement.—
Fetch out your animal.”
Bill had Lady Shinbone brought to the door;
the crowd gathered round. *• Don’t touch a
rag till 1 have tho reins!” said he, and jump
ing iuto his light trotting wagon, the hostler
at the moment pulled oil the covers and the
lady came up to the starting point in line style.
Just at the same time Sifter came up with his
bay.
“ Well, Rill! why don't you bring out your
gray mare V’
** What do you call this ?” answered Bill, us
he held the lady in with taut rein.
“It may be a zebra: ‘taint agray mare, this
side of Jordan ! ” replied Sifter.
“ 1 tell you, says Bill, “ this is my gray
mare!”
“ And 1 toll you,” replied Sifter, “ there
ain’t a gray hair on her. You’ve gone and got
some kind of a wild beast, and want to come
the giraffe over me; ’tw’ont work! The race
was between my bay horse and yourgrny mare,
and the Colonel holds the stakes. So fetch
out your gray mare !”
“ This is a gray mare, one of the grayest
kind of grays, only, you see, Uncle Ned, lie
told me —” •
“ To thunders with Uncle Ned!” roars Sif
ter. “ I don’t want any cock and bull stories,
l want your gray mare. If you can’t produce
her, I claim the stakes as forfeit.”
“ 1 tell you this is a gray mare, only 1 wash
ed her with biled walnut.”
“ Tickled her, I s’pose,” broke in Sifter.
“Washed her,” shouted Bill, “withthe wal
nut leaves which dyed every hair in her hide,
and that’s a fact by all that trots !”
Just at this instant old Uncle Ned made his
appearance, casually, on the track, and Bill,
who had his eye upon him, at once jumping
from his wagon, caught that respected individ
ual by the arm.
“ You’ve done it, my boy,” roared Bill;
“ put your foot in it this time ! Fork over fif
ty dollars, or by all that trots you’ll believe its
raining millstones on you. Didn’t you tell me
to wash that gray mare with walnut leaves ?
Didn’t 1 do it ? look at her, jest look at her.—
She looks like a brown stone house gone to
seed!”
“ Well,” says Uasle Ned, “ what if 1 did
tell you to wash'her with walnut leaves V Didn't
1 tell you at the same time it would make her
look like a different beast, and don’t she?—
Didn’t I tell you my way horse owed half liis
beauty to this decoction, which is apt to beat
Tricopherous at dyeing ? Didn’t 1 tell you all
this ?” Here the laughter and cheers of the
crowd came in as a grand chorus, and Bill was
waxing “ tremendous wratliy,” when Sifter
rode up and shouted out:
“ All right, Bill! I’m satisfied to trot against
Lady Shinbone, although she isn’t a gray mare,
and lias been in a dyeing condition ; only, the
next time you intend to trot her, don’t ask Un
cle Ned for another fly receipc for your mare :
it might turn her inside out.”
G’lang! The gray-bay mare won that race !

South American Affairs.
Washington, March 20.
It lias been ascertained that Brazil has posi
tively refused to ratify a treaty which had
been entered into at the City of Assumption,
between her Minister and Paraguay; Brazil
not being willing to concede that Paraguay
has any title whatsoever to the rights which
she tlms pretended to concede to Brazil regard
ing the navigation of certain rivers, and which
right Brazil maintains she already possessed.
Paraguay, it is well known, has long been
iu communication with the United States, pro
posing to open various rivers intersecting the
Amazon, in return for certain advantages which
she wishes to obtain for herself from this coun
try.
Recently Brazil has made a statement in re
lation to the transactions between her and Pa
raguay, in order that our government may not
be misled by any contemplated treaty between
the United States and Paraguay, or the bor
dering States of South America, which, by any
possibility, could confer commercial advan
tages on this country without the sanction of
Brazil.
Vattel on Recruiting.
Vattel, the most generally accepted author!
ity on international law, says: “Whoever un
dertakes to enlist soldiers in a foreign country,
without the sovereign permission, and in gen
eral whoever entices away the subjects of an
other State, violates one of the most sacred
rights of the prince and the nation. This
crime is distinguished by the name of kidnap
ping, or man stealing, and is punishable with
the utmost severity in every well regulated
State. Foreign recruiters are hanged without
mercy and with great justice. It is not pre
sumed that their sovereign has ordered them
to commit a crime : and supposing even that
they had received such an order, they ought
not to have obeyed it, their sovereign having
no right to command what is contrary to the
law of nature. * * * But if it appears
that they acted by order, such a proceeding in
a foreign sovereign is justly considered as a
sufficient cause for declaring war against him,
unless he makes suitable reparation.”
