Kansas Election.
One week from to-day the election for
delegates to the Covention to form a
State Constitution comes oft’ in Kansas.
The returns from 19 of tlie 20 counties
in the Territory show 9251 legal voters, a
majority of whom are pro-slavery—the
free stale men in many instances having
refused to register their names, which
refusal disfranchises them.

Later from Utah.
The Leavenworth Herald, of the 30th
ult., learns that there is great excitement
at Sal; l.ake. in consequence of Brigham
Young driving what he calls the Gentiles
out o the city. Judge Stiles, the U. S.
.Marshal, tlie Surveyor General, with
their lattiilies ad a large number of emi
grants, have left tin- Territory.
A Snake Story.
A big snake has been seen in the St.
Lawrence river, near Brockville, in Can
ada. It is said to be about thirty feet
long, and of a light color. We apprehend
its length was computed by the same rule
that the darkey measured his snake,
from the tail to the head and from the
head to the tail, adding the two lengths
together—that is, he was fifteen feet from
his head to his tail and fifteen feet from
his tail to his head, making in all about
thirty feet.
Col. C. W. Gause, of Hancock county,
Ga., had his dwelling and contents con
sumed by fire a few days ago. He had
but recently been married and com
menced house-keeping. Mr. Gause and
family were absent from home when it
occurred, and do not know how it hap
pened.
Positively Dee'tnea.
Major Ben. McCulloch, who lias been
repeatedly tendered the Governorship of
Utah, and has as o ten declined, it is now
stated in dispatches from Washington,
bus most positively declined ihe office.
So the President will have to look out ful
some other person. Did we think our
suggestions would have any weight with
“the powers that be” at Washington, wc
could put them on a track whereby a
good Governor could be had to rule over
the deluded people of that Territory, and
at the same time restore quiet and order
among them. It would be to appoint
Gen. Harney Governor, and to back him
with just as many United States troops
as he might require, and give him a carle
blanche as to the way he should manage
affairs. Our word for it. we would soon
cease to hear of Mormon abominations
and outrages, and Utah would in a short
time present a fine opening for thecourse
of empire to fold its wings for a season
in its flight to the West.
Melancholy Accident.
Wo learn from the Memphis Appeal, of
tire 27th ult., (hut about three o'clock on
the dav previous, four children of a Mrs
•Smith, a widow residing near theliayou,
on the Raleigh road, and in the vicinity
of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad depot,
got into an old skits which was moored to
the bank of the Bayou, aud pushed out
into the water, which at that point was
over ten feet deep from the hacking up ot
the Mississippi. When near the middle
of the stream, the oldest, a girl of some
fifteen years, became so much frightened
that she attempted to leap into the water,
and. in doing so, upset the skiff and
threw all the children into the stream.—
Three of the party were drowned—the
eldest, a girl, a boy about ten years old,
and a girl some eight years of age. The
fourth, a little boy, by a miracle, escap
ed from tiie stream and saved himself. —
The bodies floated some fitly yards from
the point w.iere they met with their un
timely fate, nd were taken from the wa
ter by persons who passed the road and
discovered t hem.

The Wheat Crop in the Northwest.
The latest accounts respecting the wheat
crop in Illinois uniformly describe the
prospects as of a very promising charac
ter. The cool wet weather of the last
Spring has produced a very general im
provement. In about four weeks the
new crop will begin to pour into the
graineries of the Lake shore. The Chi
cago Press is assured that some of the
fields will be ready for the reaper by the
20th of June.
In Ohio the crops aro commonly in a
very good condition. Thefollowing, from
the Cincinnati Commercial of late date,.
is a lair specimen of the reports from
Ohio;
Universal report from the country tells
us that the wheat crop promises brilliant
ly. The moist, cool weutber of the spring,
which has cuused such a discouragement
relative to corn, has given the wheat a
firm set aud healthful color, aud caused
it to spread ; in short, has laid or set the
foundation for a big crop, instead of caus
ing the few shoots that were green through
the wiuter to flourish rankly and to no
purpose.
From Michigan the accounts arc not
less cheering. The Detroit Advertiser of
Monday last, has the following :
We yesterday conversed with a friend
who has been traveling through the rural
districts, quite extensively, and from his
account the wheat crop in this State
never promised better than at the present
time. In the counties of Wayne, Monroe,
Washtenaw, Lenawee, Jackson, Oakland,
Livingston, Lapeer, Ingham. Clinton, Ma
comb, Genesee, and Shiawassee, he says
he never snw the whent look better nt
this time of the year. He has traveled
through the State of Michigan, more or
less, for the last seven years, and says
that wheat never looked more encourag
ing for a bountiful yield than at the pre
sent time. He has seen it taller at this
period of the year than now, but never
saw it look more healthy. It also, as a
general thing, stands quite thick upon
the ground, very little having been win
ter killed. We are led to believe that
throughout almost the entire State, the
same tning might also be said.
The Grand Rapids Eagle, of the 15th,
has the following concerning the crop in
that locality :
“It affords us much pleasure to be able
to say, after careful inquiry, that the pre
sent prospect is fair for at least an aver
age crop of wheat in this section of the
State. The cold snap which followed the
disappearance of the snow in March, effec
ted some damage by the heaving of the
soil; but the weather since has been more
than usually favorable for the growth of
our great stuple. Although some fields
exhibit the effects of the frost, and prom
ise but a light yield, the general prospect
is quite cheering.”
A Good Place to Live In.
The fishermen of Pensacola, Fla., are
now supplying the good citizens of that
city with all sorts of fish, including
“ pompano, blue fish, king fish, Spanish
mackerel, red snappers, flounders, trout,”
el id omne genus, and at prices within the
reach of a reasonably full purse. The
denizens and visitors of the city arc also
enjoying the most delightful sea breezes,
salt water bathing, and other recreations
alike relaxing to the weary man of busi
ness, and to the jaded belle who has run
a giddy round of balls and routes at the
Capital or in the fashionable cities, to
say nothing of the health inspiring effect
upon the enfeebled invalid who seeks the
sea shore to reinstate his health. When
the rail road from Columbus and Mont
gomery are completed to Pensacola, we
have no doubt that it will be as inviting
a retreat front the heat and sickness of
summer incident to less favored localities.
Two Men Shot.
A telegraphic dispatch to the New Or
leans Picayune, from Baton Rouge, La.,
dated June 2d, says:
“ An affray took place this afternoon,
at Simon’s saloon, under the Harney
House, between B. Chinn, of West Batou
Rouge, and Col. Lafayette Caldwell, in
which the former was shot at by the lat
ter, one ball hitting him in the lower part
of the abdomen, and lodging in the spine,
mortally wounding him. Mr. John Toy
was accidently shot, in the course of the
affray, in the groin, the wound produc
ing much hemorrhage. The physicians
think his chances for recovery very ques
tionable. The affair has created great
excitement here. Col. Caldwell surrend
ered himself to arrest, and is now in jail.”
Never take a Gun toy ttoe Muzzle.
A most lamentable accident occurred
on the 16th ult., at Watertown, Ohio, tiie
wife of Mr. G. J. Woodruff killing herself
instantly. Soon after breakfast she took
a broom and went into the room occupied
hy Elias Woodruff, Ksq., her father-in
law, to sweep. Soon after she went into
said room the family were startled by the
discharge of a gun. They, s soon as
possible, rushed into the room, and found
her lying against the wall of the room,
the gun lying on the floor with the muz
zle close to her breast. The ball entered
her left breast and penetrated the right
ventricle of the heart; she never spoke
after receiving the wound. The gun
stood between a bed and a writing desk.
She no doubt took the gun by the muzzle,
and in tiie act of bringing it from its po
sition the hammer struck against the
foot of the desk and produced the fatal
result.
New and Costly Cathedral.
The corner-stone of the new cathedral
in Montreal was laid on the 21st ultimo,
with imposing ceremonies. It is to be
completed in 1859, and will be one of the
grandest edifices in America, measuring
in length inside 187 feet, width of nave
70 feet, transept 90 feet, height of tower
and spire 224 feet. It will be built of
Caen, Normandy stone, and a species of
limestone found in the vicinity.
We are pleased to learn that Mr. Robert
Thomas, son of the late James D. Thomas,
of this place, has been appointed cadet
in the Military Academy ut West Point.
Mr. T. left on Thursday, and we doubt
not but thnt he will give a good account
of himself hereafter, both as scholar and
soldier. —Southern Banner, June 4.
It will no doubt be a matter of conso
lation to those who object to the high
price of Cognac brandy, as well as Hol
land Gin, Jamaica Rum, and other for
eign liquors, to be informed, that in New
York, where the “American sentiment”
is strong, chemical preparations can be
obtained that will in a few minutes,
change whisky into the color and
flavor of imported liquors. “That’s so.”
For the Daily Sun.
Rail Road Connection—No. 2.
Kobs did not suppose, when writing
the first article on connection, that he
would find it necessary to appear again
before your readers, in argument or de
fense, but, as City-Rights appears to
misapprehend me, or the types, I’ll trou
ble you again to give me room, not to ex
plain—for my previous article needs no
explanation—but to reassert and add a
few more new reasons why Columbus
should unhesitatingly connect. I say
again, then, that Bavannah has no inter
est in adding a debt of $250,000 or $350,-
000 to her already large city liabilities,
when the outlay would not give her 10,-
000 bales of cotton more than she now
gets. We all know that the bulk of the
cotton grown in Stewart, Marion, Ran
dolph and Barbour, finds a market ulti
timately in Savannah, and another sea
son the products of Early county will be
added to the list. These assertions be
ing true, what can Savannah gain by
building such a Road? Nothing! She
can lose the interest upon the amount
thus invested, and hold a worthless stock,
provided a connection is granted here.— !
But the Road from Smithville to Eufaula
completed, and connecting with a Road
from Montgomery to Eufaula, and what
is the result ? her outlay under such cir
cumstances would pay. That such a line
of Rail Roads would be built and equip
ped in five years, I think ’tis foolish to
doubt. The planters along the line of a
Rail Road from Eufaula to Montgomery,
can build such a Jload, as it would run
through the finest cotton growing region
of the world, all things considered. To
circumvent and defeat these projects for
our commercial ruin, should be the hear
ty determination of every citizen of Co
lumbus, and when those interested in her
welfare, who have grown with her
growth, and shared her, times of gloom,
come forward with plans for relief, they
should not be met with charges of self
interest, &c.
We have got to fight for our existence
as the Queen City of the Chattahoochee.
The battle ground is the lower counties
of Alabama. W r e have lost the planting
interest North and South of us; West
and South-west remains to be lost or won.
Gained, and our future is as bright
as the most ardent of our friends
can desire—lost, and we become, as City-
Rights says, a watering place for engines,
the depot of a few thousand cotton bales,
and the grocery market for the counties
immediately around us. Eufaula is, or
can be made, a better grocery market
than ours. The largest steamers of our
river can run to her wharves nine months
in the year ; the surrounding country is
richer in lands and personal wealth, and
their are thousands of acres of land yet
to be broken by the plough, all of which
must be tributary to her commerce, un
less Columbus steps forward now and in
vites this trade. How can we do it ?
let us see. Eufaula has never been our
friend ; she has never spared our inter
est; she would stab our dearest interest
under the fifth rib. Shall we spare her?
No! we should carry the war into Afri
ca. To do this, we should build a Road
from some point, say Seal’s Station, on
the Mobile Road, to Clayton, thence to
Louisville. Such a Road would tap the
trade of every county now paying tribute
to Eufaula, and throw into our market
50,000 bales of cotton, and forever bar
the claims of Eufaula to be the Queen
City of the Chattahoochee. Such a
Branch Road can be built, Savannah
would gain by the operation largely, and
of course would pay liberally. Clayton,
Louisville or Abbeville, would pay hand
somely, and Columbus, though always
last, would not be least. AVe would thus
enter a country already densely populat
ed and highly productive, but increasing
in population more rapidly than any sec
tion of Alabama. I have no hesitation
in saying that such a Road, completed to
Louisville, or Abbeville, would bring us
5,000 bales of cotton from Florida, and
ten times as much from other sections.—
City-Rights says this cotton would go
through, never stop, &c. Admit it; but
we all know’ who would supply the sugar,
coffee, flour, bacon, dry goods, hardware,
&c. Columbus is a much cheaper groce
ry market than Savannah, and the wri
ter of this article has sold groceries to
Savannah retail merchants, and expects,
if the Comet don’t come, to do so again.
The Palace Mills ship their flour to Sa
vannah, and sell it there, at least I have
been so informed, and although connec
tion might carry cotton through, and it
pay no toll to draymen and warehouses,
yet the merchants would feel its effects
in increased sales, and the property hol
der in increased rents. But 1 must close.
I may recur to the subject again, by your
permission. KOBS.
How to Select Flour.
Just at this time, flour is selling
at an enormously high price, it is well
enough to know how to select a good ar
ticle. In order to test flour, you should,
in the first place, look to its color; if it
is white, with a slightly yellowish or
straw-colored tint, it is a good sign. If
it is very white, with a bluish cast, or
with black specks in it, the flour is not
good. 2. Examine its adhesiveness; wet
and knead a little of it between the fin
gers ; if it works dry and elastic, it is
good; if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Flour made from spring wheat is
likely to be sticky. 3. Throw a little
lump of dry flour against a dry, smooth,
perpendicular surface; if it falls like
powder, it is bad. 4. Squeeze, some of
the flour in your hand ; if it retains the
shape given it by the pressure, that, too,
is a good sign. Flour that will stand all
these tests it is safe to buy. AVe are in
debted for this valuable information to
the Ohio Farmer. The modes are given
by old flour-dealers in the AA’est, and may
be relied on as correct.— Adv. <5- Gazette.
Later from Now Mexico.
The Santa Fe mail at St. Louis, brings
intelligence from New Mexico to the last
of April, one month later Indian de

after hard fighting.
Dr. E J. Barry, acting assistant sur

Adulterated. Liquors.
The recent death of a young man in
Brampton, Canada, from tasting the “es
sence of brandy,” with which be was
manufacturing cognac, and the revelation
of the fact that strychnine is largely used
in the manufacture of whisky, has awa
ked some attention to the nature of the
drinks which are sold for pure spirits.
Brandy, gin, wine, and whisky, are so
adulterated that comparatively little pure
liquor can be purchased. Most of the
brandies are a mixture of diabolical in
gredients, caustic enough to burn oak
chips, to say nothing of the delicate tis
sues of the human body. The Springfield
Republican says:
“No secret is made of this business.
The drug dealers of New York advertise
openly the compounds by means of which
the vile imitations of spirituous liquors
are made. A circular from one of these
drug houses informs the world that bran
dy number one—the best sort, we take it
—is made of ‘oil of brandy,’ a poisonous
ether, oil of bitter almonds, (as poisonous
as prussic acid,) ethereal wine, alcohol,
sugar, and Malaga wine. No. 2. Oil of
brandy, acetic ether, tamarinds, cherry
juice, sugar, all colored with burnt sugar.
No. 3. Oil of brand, ethereal oil, bitter
almonds, elder flowers, and tannin. No.
4. Oil of brandy, acetic ether, oil of
peach, and alcohol. Gin—Oil angelica,
oil of juniper, rum, essence of lemon,
salt, sirups, and water; if smokiness is
required add a few drops of creosote, and
to make it biting upon the palate add
some caustic potash. The circular advises
manufacturers to use ‘with discretion’
tamarind.-, French plums, cherry juice,
brown sherry, oak shavings, tincture ot
catechu, powdered charcoal, black tea,
ground rice, and other ordinary materials
well known to distellers and rectifiers.
AVe should advise drinkers to use these
villainnous mixtures with discretion—and
throw them into the gutter.”
The adulteration of liquor is carried on
as largely abroad as in this country, and
the custom house brand is no guaranty
of purity. Thousands of pipes of raw
spirits are annually exported from this
country, to be returned in the shape of
wine, brandy, &c., which contains not a
grain of grape juice.
Summer Residence for the Presi
dent.
AVe learn that the President of the Uni
ted States has received and accepted the
invitation of the board of directors of the
Military Asylum or Soldiers’ Home, to
reside in that vicinity during the summer
and autumnal months, and to occupy the
house vacated by Surgeon King, of the
army, in view of that event.
The Soldiers’ House is about four miles
from AVashiugton, and is approached by a
good road. The tenement is in a healthy
and beautiful situation, surrounded by
natural objects which enhance the value
of a wiral residence. A quiet retreat af
ter the business of the day, cannot but
prove grateful to the distinguished states
man. But this is of less importance than
the avoidance of chills and fever, to
which, of late years, the constant occu
pants of the Executive Mansion have
been exposed, and from which ex-l’resi
dent Pierce and other persons of his
household wore sufferers.
Valuable Arrival.
The Margaret A. Johnson arrived from
New York yesterday, having on board
the new locomotive engine, belonging to
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, called the
“AVilliatn Jones, Jr.” She was built at
the Patterson, (N. J.) AVorks, where
some of the very best locomotives in the
country came from, and where the “Ma
con” was built. She is a passenger en
gine. light, and constructed for speed.—
She is quite capable of 30 miles an hour
—a speed not needed on the road, but
will average fully 20 miles, including
stoppages. She was ordered by the Chief
Engineer, Mr. Fleming, to be constructed
of the very best, materials, and there is
no doubt the instructions have been fully
complied with. The “William Jones,
Jr.” will be a very acceptable addition to
the running force already on the road,
and very valuable to the passenger trains.

Age of Chivalry not|yet Past.
The Hagerstown (Md.) Chronicle has a
glowing account of a tournament that
. came off a few days since in that medie
val region. It was clearly a grand af
fair. The Hagerstonians, clad in armor,
lance in hand and visors down, entered the
lists and fought, like kuights of old, and
all for the honor of crowning the Queen of
Love and Beauty. Let not South Caro
lina hereafter claim all the chivalry.
Eastward, Ho!
The tide of travel sets in strongly this
season across the Atlantic. Never before
was there so large a number of passen
gers taking a run across to Europe. The
Asia, which sailed on AVednesday last for
Liverpool, took 172 passengers; the Queen
of the South, which sailed on the same
day, for Southampton and Bremen, took
164 passengers ; the City of Manchester,
which sailed on Thursday for Liverpool,
took 240 passengers; and the Arago,
which sailed on Saturday for Southamp
ton and Havre, took 307 passengers —a
larger number, we believe, than was ever
carried from this port in an Atlantic
steamer. During the present month fif
teen steamers are announced to leave
New York for Europe, making an average
departure on every other day. Four of
these steamers will leave during the pre
sent week, and wc understand that each
will cafry a large number of travellers,
whose passages are already engaged.—

Served Them Right.
The steam frigate Minnesota, lying in
Philadelphia harbor, lias justly been an
object of admiration to all in that city.
A few days since about 1,000 persons vis
ited it, and among them a goodly number
of the fair sex, many of whom conveyed
citizens’ clothes under the hoops for their
friends who were on board, and succeeded
in the bustle and confusion in aiding the
escape of fifteen of the crew. An order
was at once issued by Com. Stewart to
permit no more visitors on board.
it & - The following, from the pen of ex-Senator
Hannigan, of Indiana, will be appreciated by all:
“We cannot refrain from calling the attention
of our readers to the “ Hair Restorative” of I‘rof.
0. J. Wood. It will be seen that lie has numerous
certificates from persons of the highest character,
to the merits of his Restorative. From positive
knowledge we are also enabled to say that it is in
every sense what it professes to be, and we do not
beOtate to pronounce it the finest preparation for
the head and hair which lias, so fur, been devised
by human ingenuity. We have seen it arrest
threatened baldness, and restore to the head its
original profusion of natural and glossy hair, and
when the latter has been premnturely tinged with
gray, we have seen it, like magic, restore the colors
of youth and health. The distinguishing property
of this, we might truly say, miraculous “Restora
tive” is, that it gives to the person who uses it the
same head of hair they wore in youth, thus acting
in strict compliance with the first and greatest of
all toilet makers—Nature. No one who has used
it will hesitate to unite with us in this testimony
to its peculiar merit.”— Covington ( Ind.) I‘tople's
