it U.uoh, Nov. 6.] •gate from Kansas. ,i«e of the champions ol make the contest ot Gen. lleeder lor n seat as delegate the great questions for sec uring the approaching session of u. Whitti-ld will base his claims upon trie certificate ol Gov. Shannon, , that, at an election held in pursuance .ue law passed by the legislature ot Kansas, r.ajirity of the votes were cast for Gen. Whit .l lor delegate to Congress. Gov Reeder w ill e his claims upon cert,ficates made by parties ■iug no official station, but showing that, in nance of the resolution of a voluntary as blage of inhabitants of Kansas, an election held at the various election precincts, at | Gov. Reeder received a majority ot the cast, end that he is therefore entitled to ep esent the Territory as its delegate in Con gress. Inasmuch as Gen. Whitfield will present the certificate of the Governor of the Territory, ma le in pursuance ofthe statute ot the Territory, he will be entitled primafacis to occupy the seat. To oust him, Governor Reeders friends propose to show that the certificate of the Governor is null and void, on the ground that the statute which provided for the election was itself a nul lity. This will raise the question whether the legislative body which enacted the statute was composed of legal legislators, chosen in pur suance of the act of Congress organizing the Territory, or whether they were a body of in dividuals w ho under the forms of law, had usurped legislative authority. It is maintained by those who dispute the legality of Gen. Whitfield’s election that, by virtue cf the power which the House of Repre sentatives has, under.the Constitution, to “judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications ol its own member’s” it will be compelled to go back and inquire whether the several persons who held seats as members of the Kansas legislature were legally elected as such members, and it so, whether their acts as such legislators were ren dered illegal and invalid by reason ot their rd journment from the place designated by the then government to a place designated by their own resolution? When the House of Representatives has been induced to set aside the election of members to the legislature of Kansas as void, and of conse quence to declare that the laws passed by them as a legislature are void, and also that the elec tion ot delegates to Congress under these laws is void, it is then proposed that Governor Reeder shall be inducted into the seat thus declared va cant. Eis title to the position is to be sustained on the ground that he is the true and genuine representative of the Territory. His certificate of election, it is alleged, emanates from the peo ple of the Territory in voluntary meetings as sembled. The law of Congress requires the delegate to be elected in pursuance of an act of the Terri-, torial legislature, and the evidence of his election which the law prescribes, is the certificate ofthe Territorial Governor. Neither of these requisites exists in connection with Governor Reeder’s certificate; but the evidence of his election shows that he has been chosen not only in vio lation of the act of the Territorial legislature, but that his claim to a seat can only’ be granted by overriding the act of Congress providing for the organization of Kansas. It will be observed that, it the House should declare Gen. Whitfield’s election void because the law ot the Territory is void, the result places him on exactly the same footing with Governor Reeder. In each case the people assembled together voluntaiily at their places of voting and made an election. The one was chosen undercolor of law, (in the view we are now taking.) whilst the other was chosen in open defiance of law. Which of the two claimants received the larger number ol votes we are not informed; not is it material, since they were voted fcr at different times and there was no trial of strength between them, from whiih it can be judged which is the choice of a majority of the bona fide inhabitants. Governor Reeder’s friends assume that the rejection of General Whitfield’s certificate is tantamount to the admission of Gov. Reeder as delegate. We are unable to see how any such consequence follows. Until the House ot Representatives is prepared to abrogate not only the election of legislators of Kansas, the legis- i lature of Kansas, the certificate of Gov. Reeder ; declaring the election of members legal, the laws I passed by the legislature so recognised as legal. ■ the certificate of Governor Shannon, that Gen. ; Wbitfiehi wa« otart***! arrr,rdin» tn law. and last ol all, tne law ol congress providing a ter ritoriJ government for Kar.sa-, it is impossible that the question of the admission of Governor Reeder’s claim can be entertained. The contest, however, may serve the purposes of sectional agitation, and we are wholly unable to discover any object that can be accomplished but to widen the breach between the North and the South, and to hasten the consummation of the great design of black republicanism to array one section of'the Union against the other. We are slow to believe that an American House of Representatives will ever be induced by tbe ap peals of fanatical and ambitious political dema gogues to trample upon the laws, not only of the Territorial legislature of Kansas but of Congress, in order to promote the designs of disunionists. Special Dispatch to the Ji. F. Tribune. Washington, Nov. 11, 1855. I have learned from a source which leaves no doubt as to the truth of the statement, that some time before the famous Col. Kinney left for Ni caragua he proposed to the Russian minister, M. Stock!, to involve the United States in a diffi culty with England about Cuba. One element of his proposal was that the affair should be brought to bloodshed. M.Stceiki promptly and decisively refused the offer. Commodore Paulding, commander of the home squadron, reached this city to-day, having been telegraphed by the Secretary of the Navy to come forthwith. The Commodore, in command ofjan augmented fleet, will soon be in the gulf, and will closely watch the English cruisers. Secretary Davis is in high glee, produced by the news from Mississippi. He has a dispatch from Jackson, dated the 10th, announcing the entire success of the Democracy. Gov. Mcßea is re-elected by a majority of five thousand, thirty majority in the Legislature, and all the Democratic Congressmen elected. Davis longs for a seat in the Senate, but most probably the honor will be conferred on Jake Thompson. John P. Kennedy will probably succeed Senator Pratt. The Hon. George M. Daui.as—A corres pondent suggests that Mr. Dallas cannot con stitutionally be a candsdate for President, be cause he was born out of the United States. He says his father, Alexander J. D-llas. was a na tive of Londondery, Leland, who, at nineteen years of age migrated to Scotland, there mar lied, and started forthwith for the West Indies, where George was born. His father, nine months after, made.his final pitch for the United States, and settled in Philadelphia. B it our co-respondent fails to state that Mr Dallas wr.s not a citizen at the time the Federal Conatititution was adopted ; so his statement is inconclusive. The Constitution (Art. 11, sec. I c'auseS) says: “ No person, except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States ar the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office ol President.”—W Y. Tribune. Easton. Nov. 10.—A large meeting of citizens war. held yesterday, and committees appointed to make arrangements and invite the neighbor ing military companies to Ire present at the dedication of the monument to General Taylor, on the JOth instant. The committee proceeded to-day to invite General Scott, who, with sever al other distinguished gentlemen is expected to be present. Th» oration will be delivered by the Hon. A. i.. Brown.ol Easton. Many mili tary companies have already promised to be present, and preparations are in progress for an imposing and creditable display. Washinoton, Nov 11.—It is reported that Hon. Jr-ffrison Davis has received a despatch from Jack-on, Miss., saying that the Democrats carried everything in the recent election in that State The Praying Children. Mrs. Wbittlesy relates a story, which will be useful and interesting to our young readers. She says : In one of our Western towns, a clergyman was one morning told by his wife, that a little boy, the son of a neighbor, was very sick, near to death, and asked if he would not go in and see him. “1 hardly know what to do,” said he. ‘ 1 fear my visit would not be well received.” ■ But,” joined the wile, ‘when you were sick, a short time since, the mother ot the little boy sent in kindly every day to know how you we-e, and I think they will expect you to come and see their son.” This was a sufficient inducement, he was scon on the way to the dwelling of sorrow. The mother was hanging in anguish over her pre cious and beautitul child, who was tossing from side to side in the delirium ot a brain fever. The minister, after watching him a few mo ments, turned to the lady and said— “ This poor little child should be kept perfectly quiet, madam ; he should not be excited in any manner.” „ ... ‘ Sir ” said she, “ will you offer a prayer ? At first he hesitated, fearing the effect upon the child ; but, on second thought, knelt at the bedside, and uttered a few petitions in His name who said. “ suffer little children to come unto me ” The moment he commenced speaking, the little sufferer, who until now seemed uncon scious of hie presence, ceased his moans, lay still upon the bed, and fixing his dark eyes upon him, listened intently to every word. The minister rose from his knees, said a few words to’the mother, and went home, leaving the child in'a perfectly tranquil state. The next morning the first intelligence which greeted him, was, that little Frank had died during the night. He had become extremely interested, and the apparent effect of the voice of prayer upon the dyin» boy, had surprised him. He went again to visit the family, attended the luneral, and at length learned the following facts : She had two children. Frank was the eldest, and the second was a daughter of five yers. A few months before, little Alice had gone to spend the night with some companions in the neighborhood, whose patents were Christians, andjwere training their children to follow their steps As thev were about retiring to rest, these little ones said to their visitor, who did not know the Lord’s Prayer— ‘Come, Alice, kneel down with us, and say, ‘ Our Father.’ before we go to bed.’ Alice, being a bright little girl, soon commit ted to memory the precious form of prayer which has gone from so many lips since our Saviour first utteied it. The next morning, lull of animation, and delighted with her new ac quisition, she returned home ; and the moment her brother Frank returned from school, she be -an to tell him all about her visit, and beg him to learn Our Father,’ and say it with her. From this time, the mother said, kneeling to gether, they bad daily repeated the Lord s Pray er with »reat earnestness and delight, and had also learned other prayers, in which they seemed much interested. . „ , A few days before he was taken sick, b rank had come to her with a book in his hand, and S O, mother, here js a beautiful prayer—will vou let me read it to you ?’ . . It was the rememberance of this which in duced her to make then quest that the minister would pray by the bed o her suffering boy, and this was the secret of the calming influence which that prayer exerted. He continued thus tranquil along time, but at length his distress returned, and the hour of death diew near. About midnight, suffeiing and agonized, be begged ol ' his mother to send for the good minister to pray a»ain. He must have somebody to pray. Ihe parents disliked to call him at that hour of the night, and knew not what to do. At last the mother went up stairs, and, taking the little sleeping Alice from her bed, brougnt her to her brother’s bed-side, and told her what Frank wanted. Immediately she knelt down, and slowly and solemnly repeated the prayer which they both so much loved, and then, unasked said— , , “Now Frankylays hiua down to sleep, I pray the Lord his soul to keep ; If he should die before ho wake, , I pray the Lord his soul to take. The first words soothed the sufferer and with the last bis spirit fled. , Witnessed earth ever a sublimer spectacle? At the dead hour of the night, in the chamber wl>ar» waits the King of Terrors, surrounded by weeping II iei.ua, uue Huauu vi *»*<- O uny>t *-, t ed hastily from the sweet slumbers of chi.dhoou, kneels in her simple night dress, and undisturb ed unterrified, lisps in childish accents the pray er'which Heaven accepts, and on whose breath missioned angels bear upward the ransomed S ° I would teach a lesson. They labor not in vain who sow precious seed in the tresh soil of youthful hearts. Magnetism in Trade. There ate few of the readers of the Merchants’ Magaxine engaged in trade that will not feel the'force of the following remaks from the pen of the clever editor of the Philadelphia Mer chant : There is a kind of magnetism in trade that goes a great ways towards explaining the great er success of one man oyer another who seems to have equal opportunities. While conversing with a very enthusiastic friend the other day, he remarked : “How queer it is that sometimes when a cus tomer enters the store I feel as though it would be impossible to sell him a fin’s worth, but at another time I feel as though I could make a customer buy just what I .feel inclined to sell. There’s a real magnetism about it.” “Yes, we replied,” and your battery is not al ways in order.” ‘ What 1’ he answered, ‘do you mean the dif ference is al! in me ?’ . ‘ Most certainly, for you confess that it is all a matter of feeling,’ we replied, ‘and the great means of always keeping up this magnetic power is to be absorbed in what we are doing, by avoiding temptations to day dreaming and hazy speculations.’ We think that here’s an important matter for every salesman' Whatever is to be done well must be dene earnestly—the man must be fu y ma°netized for the labor before him tu y charged with earnestness. We have seen good and extensive customers provoked and impelled to leave a business establishment by the lackad aisical maimer in which they were treated. They found it difficult to tell whether the sales man was disposed to sell at all, or had no confi dence in the customer’s intention to buy. . hey like something akin to real home heartiness; they want to find a man in the full bloom ol true e„teiprise; and they almost instinctively catch the indifference ot the salesman, and draw themselves away without becoming purchasers. There is more in this matter of magnetism in trade than many will be willing’o allow; bui >1 they will try a little while the whole-souled way ol attending on their business, treating every customer as though each one might be a large purchaser, they will find new success, and will enjoy attention to business with more relish than they have ever known. Revision of the Bible. —In the British Hou.e ol Commons recently, Mr. Heywood, the member for Lancashire, gave notice that he should, at the next session, move ’an address to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to appoint a commission to into the state of the authorized version of the Bible, and to prepare apian for the further re vision of that translation.” PouKOP iLis A letter-writer Irom Cincinnati Ohio, says that the common people of that city are those who kill pigs. The aristociacy are those whose fathers Killed pigs, and who of course regard the present piggicides as persons without honorable antecedent*. 1 ouch the question of pigs to them, and they bristle up immediately.

Insek, a dew 1 Our Milledgeville Correspondence. We publish, this morning, very full and inter esting details of the proceedings of both branch es of the Georgia Legislature, up to Thursday evening. We find that our correspondent opposes the suggestions in the Governor’s Message in rela tion to State aid to lines of internal improve ment. While we do not favor indiscriminate appropriations, for such purposes, by the State, there are limits within which we think she couid properly give her assistance, either by subj scribing for stock, or endorsing bonds for im provements of vital importance to large sections of the State. Classification of Convicts. In the report of the Fiuance Committee to the Governor, are many valuable suggestions in reference to various branches of the public in terests. We are particularly struck with the propriety of the following tecommendation in reference to the Penitentiary : “ Can a question of greater public interest claim the attention of Legislators, than that in volved in the means employed to prevent crime, if possible, anil to punish it, if demanded by the well being of society, with a view to preven tion ? Who does not feel the necessity for the sepa ration of the female convict from the male, the bov from the man,the corrigible from the incor rigible? Why should not the person who, in heat of blood and from pride of character, has committed manslaughter, an offence which does not degrade a man and put an enduring stamp of infamy on him through life, be separated from forgers and felons? Why should he be stripped of the citizen’s garb and clad in the stripes, and with the badges of the most abandoned lascals? Considerations of morality, and a regard to the principles upon which the right to punish rests, demand alike a thorough reform by re organization.” Whatever be done with the other recommen dations in regard to removal of the Penitentiary from Milledgeville to a place where the labor of the convicts may be more aduantageously em ployed, and with that lor a thorough re organi zation, and erection of new and more commodi ous buildings, the above is one that appeals to the justice and good feelings of every citizen. We hope the reform now recommended will be adopled. An honorable, educated and intelli gent man, of irreproachable character and useful ness as a citizen might, in the heat of blood, commit manslaughter, and yet, after serving his term of punishment, return to society and re sume his position of usefulness, and attain a yet higher respectability, it the punishment were indeed but for a term of years and then cease. But if, in fact, he is degraded for life, the pun- England and the United States. There is a vast deal of very pretty writing and an abundance of twaddle indulged in by the press ofthe United States, in reference to the probabilities of a war between the United States and England; and there is just about as much probability of such an event—and as little reason to apprehend it from any thing that has recently occurred —as there is that cotton will advance to twenty cents a pound within twenty days. Chippings from Georgia Papers. Small “’prentice band” buglaiies have been committed in Savannah, lately, and other por tions of the State may be reserved for the devel opment of the faculty. C. F. R. Shehane proposes to publish a litera ry paper in Atlanta. The new county war and the new bridge project are raging in Clarke county. The Atlanta Republican Sf Discipline has im proved in size. Within a few weeks past, several very sudden deaths have taken place in Sparta. The Rock Mills Factory, in Hancock county, has been sold toT. T. Windsor andO. Eldridge, for S3OOO. Excursions to Emanuel, in pursuit of deer, are getting fashionable. The building of the new brick hotel in San dersville, which was temporaiily suspended, will be resumed at an early day. A free dinner is to be given at Paris, in Ef fingham, on the 19th December, “to consist o! nothing better than pork, corn bread and coffee.” Efforts are making to have another Medical College in Savannah. There are a number of Gypsies near Savan nah. Barney Williams and wife are announced to play in Savannah. The Georgia Historical Society are making arrangements to have a series of lectures deliver ed this winter. The ladies have recently been doing the clever thing in the way of making presents of Jellies, Cakes, Pickles, &c., to the editor of the Empire Stale. Rev. R. A Milner died at Cartersville, on the 13th inst. We notice a large number of persons, in dif ferent parts of the State, very anxiuos to “serve their country”—subject to the decision of the people in Januaiy. A correspondent from Scriven, desires infor mation in regard to the expenses of travel from Georgia to Kansas city. We are not prepared to communicate any facts on the subject, other than what have occasionally appeared in our columns. The route, we believe, is altogether by railroad and river; and from Augusta to Kansas city, the oidinary trav> lling expenses ot one person would hardly exceed S4O, and for a party of twenty-five or thirty persons, the ex penses would certainly no’ exceed S3O per head. Temperance Demagoguism. I’he Trenton Gaz'tlc, hitherto friendly to the enactment of the pichibitory law, thus speaks ofthe conduct of the Temperance men dining the recent canvass in that State. It says; “They have continual!}’ forced piohibition info L-ollision with the will of the people, i nd the j consequence is the election of three anti-prohibi | tion Senators and their own defeat in Burlmg i ton county. Only two members of the Assem- I bly pledged to prohibition, so far as we are I aware, have been returned, and not more than ten or a dozen favoiable to it. This result has been caused, not so much by the lack of a desire among the people to mitigate the evils and re strict the exercise of the liquor traffic, as by a deteimination not to submit to the aibi’rary co iercion attempted by the Temperance j arty, and a disgust with its hypocrisy and inconsistency. ; But the Temperance pohticians have followed | their own infatuated counsels, and the result is ' lhat their organization is scattered to the winds, femperance measures have been rendered im practicable, and their own power has dwindled into utter insignificance.” Tne Southern and Western Commercial Con vention, to have been held in Richmond the present month, has bten postponed to January 30th. Valuable Discovery.—Niepiece, the co-la borer of Daguerrer, has-, after years of study and experience, succeeded in almost perfecting the I art his associate discovered. I ‘ I have begun,’ says he, ‘with reproducing in I the camera obscura colored engravings, then ar ! tificial, and. lastly, dead nature, a doil dressed in I stuffs of different colors, and always trimmed | with gold and silver lace. I have obtained al! I the colors, and what is more extraordinary and curious,the gold and silver are depicted with their metalic lustre, and rock crystal, porcelain and alabaster are depicted with the lustre natural to them.” The steamship Empire City arrived in New York on the night of the 14th, but her news from California was anticipated hy the Nicara gua steamer. Among the passengers are, Hons. J. B. Weller, W. M. Gwinn and F. A. Ander son, Col. Jack Hays, Capt. Nicholson, U. S. N., and M. deßodisco, of the Russian Legation. The Empire City brings $1 650,000 in gold. New York, November 11.—The steamer Northern Light arrived here this morning, wi’h California dates to the 20th ult. She brings no specie AH was quiet on the Isthmus. Walker and Chamos’ pirty had agreed upon terms ot peace, and Rivas was appointed President, Wal ker having declined the honor. He had. how ever. been appointed Commander-in-chief of | the Nicaraguan forces. Parker H French, for merly of the Sacramento Tribune, had been ap pointed Commissary ot War. The people of i Nicaragua appear to be pleased with the new i state of affairs, and no more trouble was appre ! hended. Col. Kinney remained at Greytown, |and Walker was reported to be disposed to I drive him out of the country. ' The California news is unimportant. The i Sierra Nevada, from San Juan, which arrived at j San Francisco on the Sth, lost forty-five pas j sengerr by cholera, three of whom were cabin passengers. Indian troubles in Oregon continue to assume a serious aspect. Major Haller and his forces had been surrouneed by the Indians at a point above Dallas, without food or water for forty eight hours, and Lieut. Day and one hundred and fifty men had been sent to their relief. ’ The steamer Golden Gate, arrived at San . Francisco on the 15th. The Cortes had not ar ■ rived on the 20th. , , , I The United States steamer John Hancock had I arrived at San Francisco from Petropolowski, | bringing news that the Russians were in great I force on sea and land at the Arnoor and anxous • to meet the allied fleet, which was probably in the Gulf of Tartary. The British steamer Har acorita had been at Ayan, and found the place deserted, but discovered an amount ot secreted goods belonging to the Russian Fur Company, which were seized. The steamer then went to Petropolowski, and entered that port with the American flag flying, fired into the town, and then left. When off Elizabeth Island, she en countered a Bremen brig, with 140 Russian offi- Lzers and soldiers, which she captuied and car ■ ried to Hong Kong. nt XKUCllfiiro • - - J—- >■ - ■ >«- SAisco from the Atlantic ports.

A fight occurred near Fort Belknap, between the Delaware and j Camanche Indians, in which seven of the latter ! were killed. The Indians were committing de- I predations on the frontier. ; A treaty had been made with the Camanches I in New and in Northern Mexico. ; The steamer Promotheus, from New York, had i ainved at Corpus Chiis‘l.

Pittsburg, Nov. 10.—The sentence of the liquor dealers who were convicted for violations ot the liquor law, expired to-day. A large crowd assembled near the jiil, where carriages had been provided and a procession formed, hea l ed with a band of music, and the prisoners were conducted through the jTincipal streets. It is understood that all the liquor dealers in the city intend selling as usual, so that the number of complaints will be so increased as to clog the bu-'iness of the courts until the law is repealed.
