A Kansas Benefit.
The .1 nllieii Minstrels, with the same patri
niic. spirit they have uniformly displayed else
where, announce a benefit for the .Southern
muse in Kansas to-night (Monday, April 11th).
Their entertainments tor the occasion will he
•unusually attractive and varied. Temperance
Hall ought to he filled and crowded until ir
-troiig walls expand with patriotism, on such
,a occasion. This popular and public spirited
,• mpany have already contributed nincli to
,id Southern emigration in this way, and
ihev offer to our citizens a rare opportunity
in raise a handsome sum for the outfit of their

The Great Race at hew Orleans.
The contest between Arrow and Minnow, on
the Bth instant, drew together a great crowd.
Vrinw was the favorite ; but the filly beat him
hi two straight heats, in Hie fast time of ->:,
37—three mile heats.
There was to be a four-mile race on the I Oil,
lor which Lccomtc, Pryor, and Minnow, were
nitered, and one of the most exciting coutests
i,i the turf ever witnessed, was anticipated.

So great has been the scarcity of sweet po
tatoes in .Virginia, for planting, that eleven
ohooners loaded with potatoos arrived at Nor
folk from N'ortli (’arolina on the 6th and 7th
■ list.
We fear that in this section the crop ot the
present year will be materially less than the
usual product, on account of the scarcity of
potatoes for planting. We have heard many
inquiries made by planters for seed potatoes,
hut we have not yet heard of a single locality
ibat hud any to spare, and the report from
most sections was that every planter was
-hoit.

The Next Sugar Crop.
Tlie planters of both Louisiana and Texas
contitie to make much complaint about tbedc
f ruction of the stubble and seed cane, Some
of the large planters of Louisiana say that they
will not be able to raise more canc this year
than will answer for planting their usual quan
tity next spring; and we see that (iov. A.
Horton, of Texas, a very extensive sugar plan
ter, offers to give his cane to any one who, out
■it the proceeds, will make him planting cane
for fifty acres. Instead of his usual sugar
crop, he has planted 625 acres of corn and 800
in cotton, lie usually plants three hundred
in cane.

that his late difficulties with Costa Rica, and
perhaps with Grout Britain anil France, do

them on. We hope to hear a good report of
them hereafter.

The suicide of the Honorable rogue, Sad
iier, in England, by taking oil of almonds,
eems to have brought this agent of death
prominently to the notice of those contempla
ting feloih ■ se. A well known periodical deal
er in New V ork, named Cornelius C. McAuliffe,
■ ommitted suicide on the 4th inst., by a dose
•if oil of bitter almonds. He, too, was an En
glishman by birth, lie left a letter stating
that, the cause of his death was the unworthi

Spirited Proceedings.
Borne of the merchants of the town of Lea
venworth, K. TANARUS., having sent agents to Law
i ence and Topeka, abolition settlements, to ne
gotiate for the trade of those towns, live liun
• tred settlers of Leavenworth and Atchison conn
iies assembled at Kickapoo City on the 10th
nil., and adopted resolutions censuring this
bid for Freesoil trade. The following resolu
tions were also adopted, which wo copy to show
• nir readers the spirit animating the Kansas
pioneers:
That Kickapoo city has a better and more
permanent landing, and is more easy of access
tn Osawkee, Lecompton, Tccumsch, and other
pro-slavery towns on Kansas River, than any
other town on the Missouri River.
That the access to Kickapoo for such towns
it Lawrence and Topeka is exceedingly diffi
cult, and growiug more so every day.
That wo expect a large majority of the euii
rants from the South to land at our place,
and as such we invite them here, and wo ask
i share in the trade of the pro-slavery party
in Kansas generally.
That Maj. J. Buford, of Alabama, and his
■ olony of pro-slaver\ i migrants, aro especially
invited to land at thi- place and partake of the
hospitalities of our citizens.
The Middle Ground Railroad.
At a public meeting ill Henry county, hold
. lew days ago at McDonough, a resolution
as adopted calling a convention of the coun
ties, towns and capitalists interested, atUriflin,
lor the purpose of tnking some steps towards
ihe construction of the Middle Ground Rail
i oad This road is to run from this city to
Covington on the Georgia Railroad, connecting
with the Macon and Western Railroad at Grif
tin. The counties through which it is iutended
to run are Muscogee, Harris, Meriwether,
Spalding, Henry and Newton—all rich and
populous sections, and each able to lend a lib
eral helping hand to the enterprise. Our city
will be very largely benefitted by the road, as
it will effect a nearly direct communication
between Columbus and the groat producing
o-egiou of Northern Georgia anil Tennessee—a
region abounding with the very produce need
ed to make Columbus a great trading mart. —
When shall we have a movement in its favorin
our city ? A safer investment could hardly
be found, ana, if this road were built, it would
necessitate a continuation of the line to a con
nection with tiie Main Trunk Uailroad of Sou
theia Georgia AW is tW time for action.

SorTii I'utoMXA. —Hon. \V. W. Boyce,
Representative in Congress from the Columbia
District, (who lias heretofore opposed the pro
position to send delegates to the Cincinnati
Convention), lias written a letter recommend
ing a South Carolina State Convention to nom
inate President Pierce for re-election. The
Sou Hi Carolinian prefers this plan, but, for the
sake of union and conceit, is willing to send
delegates to Cincinnati with instructions to
support no one but Pierce in the Convention.
It says—“ While wc are willing to approve a
representation in tho Convention restricted to
his nomination, wc would be pleased to aid in
any organization that would serve to re-elect
the President, who has done his duty efficient
ly and nobly, and deserves that we particular
ly, who profess conservatism, should adhere
to him to the end.”
Wisconsin. —A dispatch from Milwaukie,
dated April 10th, informs us that the Ameri
can State Council of Wisconsin have repudiated
the nomination of Mr. Fillmore, and passed
resolutions declaring their preference for Mr.
Banks.
Two hundred Clay and Webster National
Whigs have called a meeting in Dos Moines
county, lowa, for the purpose of rc-organiziug

California. —lt is stated that California
has elected a unanimous delegation in favor of
Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency to the Cin
cinnati National Democratic Convention.
Com. Stockton. —The Jersey City Sentinel
says that Com. Stockton “will shortly be
brought before the American people as their
candidate for the Presidency, without geo
graphical or partisan distinctions.’
The Cause ol’ “Joy in Heaven.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist and the South
ern Recorder arc engaged in discussing the ques
tion whether “there is always joy in Heaven
when a hoi/ child is born 1” The Recorder hav
ing understood the Constitutionalist to assert
that there was, and that the Bible was its au
thority for tho statement, challenged it to the
proof, and called for chapter and verse; where
upon the latter denies having based the state
ment upon the Bible, but nevertheless refers
to the Jewish prayer, “Blessed art thou, oh
Lord our God, that thou bust not created me a
woman !” and to the verse in the second chap
ter of Luke, “It is written in the law of the
Lord, that every male bom shall be called holy
to the Lord.” We have not the least disposi
tion to interfere in this discussion, but it oc
curs to us that if any great Jins was made in
Heaven over the birtli of some males wc have
seen, they must have “backslidden” awfully
by the time they came to bo men. Again—
our coteuiporaries say nothing at all about the
birth ot girls, or any rejoicing over them in
Heaven. Do they wish to convey the impu
dent impression that the joy is in the other
place when girl children are born ? If we had
time, we too would hunt up our Bible and
show from it that the girls are all expected to
go to Heaven as a matter oj’ course, and there
fore there is no great cause for joy over the
fact that one rnoro is added to the number;
while the number of men arriving there is so
few that they always hail with joy even the
prospect of a future addition. An article is
always appreciated, in any place, in propor
tion to its scarcity and novelty; and if any
particular place abounds with it, the advent
of an additional supply is hardly noticed.
Congressional.
Washington, April 9.
In the Senate to-day Mr. Seward made a
speech in favor of the immediate admission of
Kansas into the Uuion. In the House, Mr.
Shorter, of Alabama, delivered a Southern
rights speech. The Senate’s amendment to
the Deficiency Bill, appropriating $50,000 for
maps and drawings of the route of the Pacific
Railroad, was rejected.
Washington, April 10.
In the Senate to-day a lengthy discussion
transpired upon the niotiou to reoousider the
vote referring to a committee the memorial of
tho Kansas Legislature. The memorial was
subsequently withdrawn. Many Senators ex
pressed their doubts us to the authority of the
Senate to act iu the matter.
The House passed a resolution declaring va
cant the seat of the Eighth district of Illinois,
and Mr. Marshall entitled to a seat as repre
sentative of the Ninth district of the same
State.
Homicide.
On the evening of the 28th ult. William Bri
ley shot and killed his own brother-in-law,
William Stephens, in the neighborhood of Ball
Hill, Chattahoocheo county. There was an
old grudge between them that led to the fatal
catastrophe. Briley is bound over, in the
penal sum of SIOOO, to answer, which shows
that he was deemed justifiable in the commis
sion of the act. The deceased was pursuing
him with a loaded gun, at the time. So says
a correspondent from Chattahoochee.—Geor

Fruit Crops in this Section.
Appearances wore never so promising for
bountiful, tree-breaking crops of fruit as they
are this year. The spring season opened so
late, that the frosts have nowhere that we can
learn ot, done any injury, audnouc can now be
reasonably apprehended from such a cause.-
The failure of our fruit crops for several years
in succession, has been a heavy blow upon
Cherokee, Ga., and the present hope of an
abundance is therefore certainly exhderating.

An Era of Speculation.
From tlic New Orleans True Delta.
Our European cotemporaries, in view of the
early acquisition of peace, are exercising them
selves in theories and fancies as to the wild
rage for speculation that they think must in
fallibly follow’ a resumption of friendly interna
tional intercourse. There is much to justify
these ideas on the part of our trails-Atlantic
brethren, for notwithstanding the war and the
severity of the burdens imposed by its contin
ual exactions, the disposition both in England
and France was to launch out into new and
bold speculations, involving heavy outlays of
capital and a dangerous extension of the credit
system. Besides, on the Continent of Europe,
as well as Spain and Italy, a mania for rail
roads, which only awaits a declaration of peace
to assume its most violent and ungovernable
form, pervades the people, and the moment the
French and English governments retire from
their operations on tho stock exchange, swarms
of adventurers, representing the innumerable
schemes that will lie brought forward, will oc
cupy their jdaces and create a demand for
capital unparalleled in the wildest period of
any past generation of rncu.
Russia too, admonished by bitter experience
of her defective internal communications, may
be expected to off er immense inducements to
such capitalists as have the enterprise and
J ability to undertake and carry out asystem of
rail communication within her extended cm
pire, drawing more closely together its widely
separated parts, and enabling the Czar to suc
cor his Southern provinces in a week or ten
days from the shores of the Baltic, instead of
months, and a fearful loss of life, property ami
treasure, as at present. Our own country will
also share in the excitement, and a railroad to
the l’acilic south, and another northwest to
Oregon, wc may reasonably expect to find
strenuously urged, the moment a favorable
opening to the negotiation of loans is present
ed.
The British colonies, too, will have their
claims. Canada is fast rivaling ourselves in
the construction of railroads, New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia are preparing to follow worthi
ly in the race, while Australia, tho most nota
ble of the athlete of modern nations, which has
already commenced the formation of a fleet,
will not be behind iu the career of gigantic in
terior development,
In the East Indies, an immense line of rail
road, passing from one extremity of the British
Empire to another, uniting, as it were, the In
dus and the Ganges and territories far East and
West of those mighty rivers, isin course of con
struction, having already three or four hun
dred miles of rail open to travel and traffic,
thus completing a field lor investment and
speculation which our readers cannot fail to
perceive must exercise incalculable influence
over the movements of capital and the regular
commercial operations of the world.
In looking forward to the times we are de
picting our readers will not be unmindful of
the grave political consequences which must
follow the increased intercourse of mankind,
in the more equal distribution of labor, the
greater tendency alike to consumption and
production, the generation of more liberal sen
timents, and the removal of the senseless moun
tain of prejudice which the chicanery of kings
and the natural depravity of man have created
as barriers to the diffusion of enlightenment,
happiness, and goodness among all.
Mount Vernon at Present.
From tlio Athens Banner.
Mr. John A. Washington has been endeavor
ing for a number of years to make a goodbai--
gain out of Congress in the sale of Mount Ver
non; and it is our private opinion that he is
only holding back now with the hope of having
something handsome offered him. If the place
docs not pass into other hands soon, it will be
scarcely worth having. Everything about it
is rapidly falling into decay, and there seems
to be no disposition on the part of the proprie
tor tu keep it iu order. Even the tomb of the
Father of llis Country is a disgrace to out
people— nothing but a little brick wall sur
rounds it, with an iron grating, through which
you can get a look at the sarcophagus which
contains the sacred dust.
Gen. Washington, as in everything noble,
was the very embodiment of hospitality. The
living representative of his name has none of
that blood running in his veins. In 1850, we
were one of a party visiting the Mecca of Atne
j rica; and while there a storm of thunder ancl
1 rain burst upon us. Wc endeavored to get
shelter in the house, but upon applying at the
door, we were not permitted to enter. We were
informed before going there, that a letter of
introduction from some member of Congress
j was necessary for admission to the house.” and
j accordingly armed mveelf, (as did the rest of
i the party) with one of these important docu
! ments; but the inmates did not even give us
an opportunity of presenting them. Wc finally
| took shelter in n barn, and while there hail
I leisure for the reflection Unit the mantle of
! George Washington had fallen upon unworthy
shoulders, and that Virginia hospitality bail
greatly degenerated since the olden time.
In striking contrast stands tin- venerable
George Washington Park Custis, the adopted
son ot General Washington, and his only re
maining executor. The warm hearted old gen
tleman seeius never so happy, as when sur
rounded by visitors, at bis* ancestral home,
“Arlington House,” where he takes great
pleasure in showing the many mementoes of
his adopted lather, and interesting his hearers
with recollections of the great man. Very lew
persons have spent any time in Washington
City, without enjoying his hospitality.

The “Varmints” of Texas.
Air. J. S. Strother, in a late letter to the
Huntsville Advocate, gives the following ac
count of some of the rare creatures to he found
iu Texas:
I will now give you something like a desorip
tion of some of the injects, or rather reptiles,
with which this section is infested, i will
commence with the most poisonous of all, the
Centipede, the sting of which is deadly; should
one crawl across your arm the flesh would rot
off to the bone—sometimes producing death in
i a short time to the person stung, who will suf
fer the most excruciating pain until he is re
lieved. The Centipede is about 8 inches long
when full grown and resembles the “Thousand
Legs” in shape. Next comes the Tarrantula,
a species of insect, reptile, or whatever you
may choose to call him ; lie is what we might
term half Terrapin and half Spider—more vi
cious than both and three times as active as
either ; he is near the size of a small ten cup ;
his back is covered with course red hair, un
der which is an almost impenetrable shell
which covers the top of his body, which is
supported by long, spindling, double-jointed
legs, and were you to see one throw himself
back upon his legs for a combat, you would be
tempted to knock him like Paddy did the dog,
“spachlcss. ‘ His meutli is of enormous size;
he lias an eye that indicates his ruling passion,
viciousnes- ; his bite is also very poisonous.
Snakes arc very numerous; stinging Lizards
are in the greatest abundance. 1 can put up
with the latter two—but remove me from the
disagreeable presence of the first two. Horn
ed Frogs are plenty, but they arc inuocent aud
harmless. “Mule Rabbits” are the greatest
curiosity 1 have yet seen : they are about the
size of a “fawn,” and arc so swift that tho
fleetest dog is no where ; their ears look like
they were near 10 inches long when they first
jump tip before you. lam of the opinion that
a Centipede, Horned Frog, Tarrantula and a
Mule Rabbit placed on “Commercial Row,”
would attract more attention, excite more cu
riosity than the Menageries of a dozen ‘•Bar
mini humbugs.”
I must advise those ladies who worship
“Epicurus,” and who design moving out to
Texas, not to go to Ellis county if they wish to
get good milk and butter, as both are rendered
unfit for use by the Cows eating of “Onions”
which grow iu vast quantities in that county.
This comity (Navarro) is free from them.
Wonderful Sagacity.
Oncol tiie most astonishing instances of the
sagacity of the Dog transpired this morning,
which ever came to our knowledge. The
Mtfasis. Stand©, tobacconists, No. 85Congress
street, closed their store last evening, leaving
their favorite Ncwtoundlaml dog inside. This
morning on opening the store, the floor in the
back room was found to be on fire, and the clog
was laboring with his fore feet and mouth try
ing to subdue it. A pail of water which stood
in the room had been poured down the hole.—
lbo faithful animal liiid so successfully com
b.ittcd the tire as to prevent its spreading be
yond a spot two or three feet square. How
long the noble fellow had stood sentinel and
lought down the advancing flames can only be
conjectured—it must have been several hours,
llis tect, legs and mouth were badly burned,
and it is leaped that he is seriously injured in
ternally by inhaling the hot air. lie refuses
food, and is apparently in much pain. We
trust the sagacious and faithful creature is
not dangerously injured. This is the same
dog which discovered the man Lalfy on the icc
a few weeks since. lie is worth his weight in
gold, and may safely be pronounced the noblest,
of his race. —Troy Daily Times, April 8.
Bad Day lor Collecting.
The proprietor of a well known hotel iu this
place, having a bank note falling due on the
Ist of April, and having failed to collect money
from other resources, as a last resort made out
the bills or’ his several boarders and presented
them respectively as they emerged from the
breakfast table. The first one was in the act
of handing over the amount of his bill when lie
accidentally overheard an urchin in the street
shouting “ April fool.” He quietly restored
the 20 to his vest pocket and went his wav.
Ihe “first ot April” seemed simultaneously
and spontaneously to occur to tiie minds cf all
the boarders, who treated the landlord as un
ceremoniously as did the first, regardless of
his entreaties, tolling him that they couldn’t
be taken in by any such trick—they were too
j old for that. The last we saw of “the worthy
host, he was restoring the bills to his desk, his
physiognomy presenting a picture of despair.
” c ne ' e1 ’ learned whether liis note was pro
tested or not, but one thing is certain, he did
not collect any money on the first day of April.

Expected Flood in the Mississippi.
K. W. Anderson, “an old Mississippi boat
man, writes to the New Orleans papers ex- i
pressing the belief that tkisseasen will witness !
a terrible Hood in the river. He suggests to

and read) to be used at a moment's warning. |
l o advises the citizens of New Orleans to pm
e mse a tract of land half a mile wide or more,
