said, of the occurrence of any serious difficul

in danger of a domestic war, which is tenfold
more serious.

Original Letter from Kansas.
Through thu kindness of our friend, Dr. W.
B. Bacon, we are enabled to present our read
ers this morning with an original, very inter
esting ,and able letter from Kansas. As it
speaks for itself, we give it without furthei
preface, to our readers :
Platte City, Mo., May 2, ’66.
My Dear Bacon: I wrote you some tim<
past in reply to yours, and pcrliapsyou thought
it rather a “hot letter,” that is, if you receiv
ed it ; but I assure you, after a lapse of sev
eral months, and cooling off, ns you might sup
pose, I feel religiously satisfied I expressed
myself too strongly in not one single word that
I now can recollect. I tell you the day ot
deadly strife is at hand, and the South lias to
submit to social ruin, or to maintain every
inch of ground she now holds ; and truly sor
ry am I that your physical inability is such as
to prevent your taking your natural plnco in
tho dillieulties of tho times. I have continued
to send you weekly papers from this frontier,
which, if received, have given all the material
news, and you may rely on the information
ountained in such as I send you as truthful
statements of passing events; they are not of
ton overwrought. A largo Southern emigra
tion bus come in. Major Buford is, I hear,
close by, with about 700 men ; but thu North
is acting a most daring and reckless game, and
the issue depends on tho ])erseverance of the
South. I think tho abolition excitement in
Kansas will be kept up for political capital til.
alter tho Presidential election. On these
grounds it is evidently espoused by Fremont
(a Charleston man at that) and such men. We
have many traitors to contend with; the whole
Benton faction is free soil; had he been true
to the South, perhaps very little of this excite
ment would liiivo occurred, and can it be won
dered at that the abolitionists are hold when
some of our greatest Southern men turn trai
tors and call them to the slaughter. In my
opinion the South lms already submitted to
great degradation, because she has submitted
and is daily submitting, from bet - political
equals, to insult and robbery without redress
or revenge. If the mercantile interest of tho
South was as true as the planting interest, we
could, by commercial restrictions, make them
treat us with justice and respect. Commercial
non-intercourso or restrictions should he vig
orously carried out with every State that al
lows abolition societies to exist within its
borders, for they are clearly in violation of
the constitution and United States Laws in
spirit if not in letter. Could we allow public
associations to exist among us to spoil any
foreign power ? Yet one State can pirate on
another, it seems, through these societies.—
The President sin-, it is clearly true) that
tho nets of the abolitionists would be cause of
war if done by foreign nations. Is murder or
robbery less a crime, or to be less resisted, be
cause committed by a political brother? You
sell them your cotton and buy their manufac
tures, on which they become surfeited with
with wealth, and use it to rob us and iusultus.
Foreign goods have to be brought in abolition
vessels and lauded nt abolition ports. Must
this always be borne ? Has the South no ener
gy ? She has evidently every natural advan
tage-i—sho either fails to see the way, or needs
the enterprise to execute her liberation from
tho commercial supremacy of the North.
We have been making some efforts here to
turn our trade from the abolitionists, but find
the great majority of merchants opposed to it;
they care but little with whom they trade, so
they can but turn their dollar over; and the
farming community, which is by far tbo most
deeply interested, do not have sufficient inter
course to act in concert; there are a few mer
chants who would do anything for the cause,
but they would be sacrificed if the movement
was not general; so lean see no more effec
tual or suitable plan than for legislative en
actments that would be wise, prudent, and
.to tho point, and let tho North know that they
must pay lor their fanaticism. A 1 ankeeV
pocket reasons faster and better than his head
It is clear to our mind that if Kansas is
abolitionized, Missouri will shortly surrender,
and the other .States in quick succession; like
leaves in autumn, every little political storm
will bring some down : the South is then
utterly ruined and the manufacturing interest
of the North must fall with it, and strange it
is, that men should thus fanatically plot their
own downfall; but such is the history of man,
and he is made of the same clay in the nine
teenth century us wln-n he built the tower of
Babel, or crucified his Savior, and it is a poor
satisfaction to know, that when they pHt fire
to our temple, they will be destroyed with ns.
In the far South, you can hardly I<*l the dau
ger of abolitionism, or believe it will come in
yeurtime; you cowardly (1 mean no insult, so
be not offended) postpone the evil day for your
children to fight through; you cannot say the
issue has never been made before. The first
abolition society formed in New England,
the first abolition speech delivered in Congress,
the first slave stolen from the South, was each
a casus belli -a cause of war. Again you think
“the war is too far off: it is tiyrhy in the
North-West, Missouri and Kansas, and we
must not go abroad to seek a fight.” Let me
advise you all, as a sincere friend, that when
the abolitionists curry the war to your doors,
don't contend one hour with them, make the
best terms you can, and cry “to your tents
Oh Israel,” for when its reaches the far South,
the end is at hand. If the South has any idea
of contending against this monster ; if she has
any men and money to offer for the preserva
tion of her inheritance, now is the time, and
here is the place. She has more interest at
stake than we have, for while this country is
admirably adapted to slavo labor, where their
health is unsurpassed, their increase great,
and the products of their labor valuable ; yet
it is a grain-producing and a stock-raising
country, and if deprived of slaves we can live
well, aye, abundantly, by hired white labor,
and the African race is not numerous enough to
be in our way, were we silly enough to liber
ate them here, in preference to taking them
down to you und selling them, and in a few
years pay you another visit to steal them from
you, or encourage them to cut your throats,
set fire to your houses, and run away by the
light, as your Y'ankee friends have done.—
Hence, we liavo not only the Northern aboli
tionists to oppose, but also a strong freesoil
sentiment prevailing among us, entertained as
much by Southern born as by others. Cursed
oe their mothers dugs that raised them. Thus
you will see we have had a hard struggle—a
lire in rear as well as in front. I could give
you an account of matters as they have occur
red since my last, but I would rather refer
you to the “ Kansas Herald,” “ Squatter
Sovereign,” and other pro-slavery papers, for
an honest statement of these things. They are
mostly edited by truthful gentlemen, and in
one respect, arc very far inferior to the aboli
tion editors, whose able corps of liars are un
surpassed by any press in the world.
I hope you enjoy good health and will let
me hear from you soon. My family is pretty
well, and has increased one boy since my last
to you—he is a fine ten pound specimen of a
“ Border Ruffian.” So wishing you all health
and hnppincss,
I remain sincerely your friend,
Joseph Walker.
Resurrection Flower.
In its account of the recent Spring Exhibi
tion of the Bi-ooklyn Horticultural Society,
the New York Tribune says :
Wo must notice one very remarkable curios
ity known as the Resurrection Flower. This
flower, or rather plant, resembles in its nomi
nal state, a dried poppy head, with tho stem
attached. Ou being immersed a moment or
wo in a glass of water, and set upright iu
a few moments the upper petals began to burst
open gradually, yet visibly to the eye; they
continued to expand until, throwing them
selves back in equidistant order, there was
presented a beautiful radiated starry flower,
somewhat resembling both the passion flower
and tho sun flower, and yet more splendid
than either. The unfolding still continued un
til the petals bent backward over what might
be termed the base of the flower, presenting in
bold relief in its centre its rosette of the most
exquisite form and ornamentation, and thus
assuming anew charm, entirely eclipsing
what, a moment before, seemed its absolute
perfection. After remaining open an hour or
more, the moisture gradually dissipates itself,
and the fibres of the flower contract as grad
ually us they expanded, and it resumes its
original appearance, ready to be unfolded
again by the same simple process—the num
ber of times seeming to be only limited by the
will of the possessor.
Doctor Deck, who brought this specimen
from Upper Egypt, snggests that the flower is
a native of the Holy Land, and is a typo or va
riety of the long lost Rose of Jericho, called
also the rose of Sharon, and the Star of Beth
lehem, and highly venerated for its rarity anil
peculiar properties by the pilgrims and Cru
saders, and eagerly sought after by them as a
priceless emblem of their zeal and pilgrimage,
and worn on their escutcheons in a similar
manner as the scollopshell and palm branch.
This idea is strengthened by the fact that re
semblances of the flower, both opened and
closed, are sculptured upon the tombs of two
of the Crusaders buried in the Temple Church
of London, and also in the Cathedrals of Ua
yeux and Roueu iu Normandy, where some of
the most illustrious Crusaders are interred.-
Its botanical position is difficult to assign, ns
it presents some peculiarities of the highest
and lowest classes. The opinion most sanc
tioned is, that the flower is pericarp, or seed
vessel of the plant; that it grows in desert or
sandy places, and tails, in due course of exis
tence from the parent stem. Retaining its
seed in an arid soil and atmosphere, it is for
j months and years wafted about by the winds,
| but from lack of moisture keeping closed.
! Eventually it falls upon some damp spot, near
some well or oasis, when it opens, deposits its
! seeds, and thus by a most exquisite adaptation
of means to an end, exhibited in this beautiful
phenomenon of nature, the work of reproduc-
I tiou is commenced ami concluded.

The rumored destruction of Lawrence City,
Kansas, is confirmed by despatches from Chi

on Wednesday, with an overwhelming force.—
He made sonic arrests—demanded and receiv

lie thereupon cannonaded the town, and
finally burned it.
It is thought that Gen. Pomeroy, for whose

Latest News from Florida.
Gen. Churchill, Inspector General of the
United States Army, arrived here by the last
Southern boat from Florida, where he has
been on a tour of inspection. He brings the
latest intelligence from the Indian country.
Gen. Churchill left Tampa, on his return,
Wednesday the 14th inst., in a conveyance
furnished by the Quartermaster’s Department,
and under an escort of four mounted en and
his servant. lie came out thirty-four miles the
first day to a house on the stage road to Pa
latka, where ho stopped for the night. A run
ner came in soon after his arrival, with intel
ligence that the house of Capt. Bradley, of
the Florida militia, four miles from where
Gen. C. was then stopping, had just been at
tacked that evening, by a party of twelve or
fifteen Indians, and two of hia children killed.
Captain Bradley was in the house at the time
of the attack, but was sick in the bed. He
rose however, and with his double barrel shot
gun, kept the Indians at bay. They retired
beyond the range of his gun, and finally quit
ted the pluce. An effort was made the follow
ing day to overtake them, but the pursuing
party soon lost their trail and abandoned the
; attempt.
Gen. Churchill was told that Indian “signs”
i had been seen as far east as the Withlacoochie.
It was stated also, that they had made their
appearance as far north as Levy county. Great
uneasiness prevnils throughout the country
bordering on the Indian territory. In many
places the growing crops have been abandoned,
and women and children removed from their
homes to distant points, for personal security.

Rather Awkward.
A young and handsome lady was a tow
days since a passenger in an oninibus in New
York, in which was a party of Spaniards, who
began in their own language a rather particu
lar discussion of her charms. They contin
ued it without restraint until they reached
their destination. In getting out, one of them
happened to step upon her dress. What was
his astonishment to hear her quietly inform
him of that fact in frightfully good Castil
ian. Their astonishment and embarrassment,
chagrin, and excuses, and apologies, are all in
that long catalogue of things which can only
be imagined. J
A Northern Portrait of Padre Vijil.
The New York Times says: The Padre Vi
jil, Minister to the United States from Nicara
gua, is stopping nt the Metropolitan Hotel.
He is an elderly gentleman of somewhat sin
gular appearance and dress ; below the medi
um stature; very dark complexion, and with
a head and countenance denoting an Indian
i stiiei than Castilian origin. His expression
is one of benevolence, rather than a high or
der ot intellect. He is said to be a man of
good education, though defective in English,
and to all outward seeming, better suited to
the offices of Church than the storm of State.
r Bridging the Mississippi.
The Washington correspondent of the St
Louis Republican says : “Mr. Kennet, of Mis
souri, contemplates urging upon Congress the
propriety and actual necessity for a bridge over
the Mississippi at St. Louis—to be constructed
on arches CO feet above high water, and suf
ficiently wide for four railroad tracks— two
wagon tracks and two foot ways.
The Presidential Canvass.
A Washington letter in the New York Times
says:
“Au effort is making under the lead of
Sam. Medary, Senator Bright and other North
western Democrats, now here, to effect a per
fect union among the delegates of that sec
tion to the Cincinnati Convention, to cast, its
votes as a unit for Pierce or Douglas, which
ever shall prove the strongest. Michigan
alone holds out for Buchanan. Even this una
nimity against Buchanan destroys all reasona
ble hope of his nomination, and Pierce's friends
claim to-night that it gives the latter the lead
again.
A Good One---Over the Left.
A few days since one of our Railroad agents,
a better fellow than whom does not “ live,
move or have being,” received a letter from a
gentleman in a neighboring city, inquiring for
a trunk which had I een misplaced or lost, ad
ding, by the way of description; “ The trunk
has ‘A. B.’ marked on the left end.” Where
upon, he received from “Alf” the following
answer:
“After a careful inspection of all the bag
gage at this depot, and very mature delibera
tion, we are of the opinion that both ends of
your trunk are left.”
Affray at a Wedding.
Avery singular and most amusing scene,
says the San Francisco Herald, occurred re
cently, at tho residence of a blooming widow
lady, up town. The lady, it appears, was en
gaged to two different individuals, and had
appointed the same hour for theconsummation
of her vows with each. The grooms met be
fore the nuptial altar, where each insisted up
on his right of priority. Weapons were drawn,
and there was more probability of a funeral
than a wedding in the house. The police in
terfered, and both the claimants were lodged
in the city prison. Claimant “number one”
was released upon bail and married the widow,
while claimant “number two” was lamenting
his hard fate in confinement. Claimant “num
ber two” shortly’afterwards took passage for
Nicaragua.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald reports that at the President’s
grounds, during the performance by the Ma
rine Band last Saturday, old Marcy, the ‘Lit
tle Giant,’ and a few other gentlemen, were in
conversation about the‘New l T ork difficulty.’
Old Marcy said when ‘he left New l'ork the
entire party was in harmony and union.’—
‘Well, Governor,’ said Douglas, ‘don’t you
think it would tend to harmonize matters for
you to go back ? Suppose you try it ? The old
Premier replied, ‘Douglas, you are a smart
young man, but you are growing a little too
fast.’ Both sallies were greeted with hearty
laughter, and the parties separated.
The Savannah Republican has, from the
first, treated the action of theßrunswick com
pany with contempt. —Columbus Times.
isot exactly “contempt,” friend Lomax,
though we confess we did feel something of a
Georgian’s indignation when a foreign Board
of Directors landed on our shores and let loose
the flood gates of their abuse against the Gov
ernment of Georgia aud the people of our good
old city. So far as concerns their letting the
Main Trunk “ slide,” we simply maintained
that the action of the meeting did not mean
one half of what appeared on its face, and we
are still of the same opinion. Future develop
ments will prove whether we were correct in
this or not. — Sav. Rep.
One of the Birds.
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter tells
us that a bird about the size of a large turkey,
aud the coloi of a guinea fowl, was lately kill
ed in that neighborhood, by Mr. Francis Ga
zel, who extracted from its gizzard and craw
nine hundred diamonds. He has sold twenty
seven of the smallest in New Orleans fors3oo.
The value of the remainder is estimated at
$15,000. The bird was evidently of “foreign
extraction.”
The Factory Sabbath School.
Had a gala day last Saturday—made a beau
tiful turn out with fine music, and dined at
Arcade Hall. There were 105 children in the
procession, and fine looking youngsters they
were. May they grow in wisdom, knowledge
and happiness.— Macon Tel.
A lad, wishing to turn sailor, applied to the
captain of a vessel for a berth. The captain,
wishing to intimidate him handing him a piece
of rope, said—if you want to make a good sail
or, you must make three ends to that rope.’—
‘I can do it,’ readily replied the boy. ‘Here
is one, and here is another—that makes two
—now, here is the third’—and he threw it
overboard.
The Secret of Great Acquisitions.
“ The chief art of learning,” says Locke,
“is to attempt but little at a time. The wid
est excursions of the mind are made by short
flights frequently repeated: the most lofty
fabrics of science are from the continued accu
mulations of single propositions.”
Before we have God with us in outward la
bor, we must seek him and obtainhis direction
aud promise of help in secret. O, if thy heart
were more in the closet, it would be more full
of hope iu the church of God, where thou
oughtest to act the man always.
The power of faith can anticipate time, and
make future things present. If we are the
true sons of Abraham, we are already, while
we sojourn here on earth, possessors of our
laud of promise ; while we seek our country,
we have it.—Hall.
In old times, the bills of lading commenced
as follows: “ Shipped, by tho grace of God,
in good condition,” etc. Dr. Franklin used
to print and sell bills of lading, and some pious
persons objecting to the usual heading, he ad
vertised that he sold bills of lading “ with or
without the grace of God.”
