THe Admission of Ivannas.
We have read the able and conclu- \
aive message of the President, trans
mitting to Congress the Constitution of
.Kansas, and recommending its ad in;
Sion into the Union as a State, and it is:
both a pleasure and a duty to express j
cur entire approbation of it. We are i
at a loss to see how any man, after j
reading this able paper, in which the j
•whole history of the matter is clearly j
and satisfactorily set forth, can be in
doubt as to the course Congress should j
pursue in relation to the admission of ;
Kansas into the Union.
It strikes us that the President has
met and refuted, most conclusively,
every point of objection which has been
urged, with any show of plausibil-j
Ity, against the Lecompton Constitu-1
iion ; and so clearly are the facts set
forth, that even the Black Republicans, j
blinded by fanaticism as they have |
been, if they read this message, must;
yield their opposition and henceforth
cease their agitation. Such, it appears
to us, would be the conclusion of every
unbiased mind, upon reading it.
It seems, however, judging from the
opposition wi ill which the Lecompton
Constitution has met in Congress, that
the representatives of the people, from
come sections of the Union, are con
trolled by the same fanatical spirit,
which has actuated Jim Lane and his
party in Kansas. The free State men
in that territory could have controlled
the slavery question, if they had cho
sen to do so—for it is admitted on all
hands that they are largely in the ma
jority—yet by their refusal to vote, in
the elections held, the pro-slavery par
ty have succeeded in ingrafting that in
stitution into the Constitution of tho
State. They allowed the election for
delegates to the convention, to go by
default; afterwards, when the slavery
clause was submitted for ratification or (
rejection, they refused to vote, and per- ]
mitted it to be ratified, almost without
objection, in the face of the fact that the
last House of Representatives in Con- ,
gress, having a majority in their favor,
had admitted to a seat their representa
tive, who was elected under laws passed
by the pro-slavery party. But when the
third election came on, in which there
were spoils involved, in spite of the
fact that it was held under the pro
slavery Constitution, they entered into
it, and it is reported, have succeeded in
electing their candidates. With these
direct admissions, on the part of the
Black Republicans, of the legality and
regularity of tho Lecompton Constitu
tion, who can be in doubt as to what if)
the plain duty of Congress?
But these admissions of the Black Re
publicans do not constitute the entire
argument—we might give a history of
the whole affair, which would satisfy
any unprejudiced mind that there ought
not to he two opinions on this subject.
The same course has been pursued to
wards Kansas, as towards Nebraska,
and, in the main, the other territories
which have come into the Union.
But the grave question for the people
of the South is : “What shall be done
if the Lecompton Constitution is reject
ed ?” This government is unlike the
despotisms of the old world. They are
governments of force, and require im
mense standing armies to keep their
people in subjection, and execute the
laws made by the privileged few. Ours
is a government of opinion, and the
laws are enforced, not by fear, but by
the love and attachment of the people
for the laws, and when this ceases to be
the case, the corner-stone of the edifice
will be gone, and ours no longer be a
government of opinion.
It may be—in fast it is more than
likely—that the Constitution of Kan
sas, would be changed before twelve
months —because there is a large major
ity against slavery—and that this whole
discussion is on an abstraction; still the
rejection of Kansas, under the circum
stances, wouldbean insult to the South,
which neither can nor ought to be sub
mitted to. Georgia stands committed,
in most solemn form since 1850, by the
Georgia Platform, not to submit to it
Her people are too proud and patriotic
to allow themselves to be insulted and
degraded with impunity, and we cannot
doubt that in this matter they will be a
unit, even if their action should lead to
a dissolution of the Union. No people
are more law abiding or more Union
loving than those of our State, but they
want no position in the Union, which has
to bo purchased at the expense of their
honor and self-respect. Admit that
this question is an abstraction, yet why
should we submit to it, if such submis
sion brings disgrace and inequality upon
us?
Such, we conceive, would be the view
which the people of Georgia would take
of the matter, if it should become ne
cessary for the Governor to call the Leg
islature together, which he is required
t) do, in case of such a contingency.
We sincerely trus( that none such will
nrise, hut the ceaseless agitation of the
slavery question, by the unprincipled
demap goes who are almost exclusively
selected to represent the Northern States
in Congress and the defection and col
lusion with the Black Republics of
such in over J - ng, and
should teach us of ( South, thene
cessity of at least looking to our future
interest.
I We should all dislike to see a disso
lution of the Union, and we sincere
deprecate the necessity of even thinking
of such a thing. But there is no tell
ing what will be the final end of this
matter. Fanaticism never seems to
j calculate results. Its votaries are ever
! blind to the rights of others, as well as
jto their own interests. This wrangling
North and South has left pub
| lie opinion in a bad condition for com
j promise, and it will take years to change
! and correct it. Let Kansas be admitted
j with the Lecompton Constitution by the
present Congress, and we see no good
reason why the vexed question cannot
be kept out of Congress for years to
come. We trust that it will be, and
j that the dark clond which now over-
I spreads our horizon may be dispelled
j and a brighter sky present itself to our
jview.
| Since the above was written, a tele
' graphic despatch has reached us, to the
effect that the Lecompton Constitution
has been referred to the Committee on
Territories. This we consider a virtual
j rejection of it.
Horrid Affair—A Heal Georgia Fight.
Under this caption the New York
Sunday Mercury, of the 31st instant,
says:
“A terrible encounter lately occurred
at a hotel in Augusta, (ia., by which
two gentlemen of that place lost their
lives, and three more were serverely, if
not fatally, wounded.”
Then follows an account of a drunk
ken spree at a village called Apaloosa (?)
between a Gen. Caswell, his overseer,
a Cuban named Gargexa, and three
young men from Louisiana, who hap
pened to be passing through the village
on their way home from the North.—
The conversation turned upon the
North, and, as two of tho young men
were favorably impressed with that
region, the discussion became warm.—
One of the young men intimated that
he knew but little for an old man,
whereupon that gentleman threw a
glass of wine in his face—a fight ensu
ed, revolvers and bowie knives were
used indiscriminately, and Gen. Cas
well and two of the Louisianians kill
ed. The others were badly—one or two
of them fatally—wounded.
This story deserves to be ranked with
that of the celebrated Arrowsmitii. It
is either a pure fabrication or the writer
of it has made a mistake in the loca
tion. There is no such village as &pa
loosa in Georgia, and if there were we
are at a loss to know how a drunken
fight in that village could have occurred
at a hotel in Augusta. Certain we are
that no such “scrimmage” ever came off
in this city.

“On dit” (says a correspondent from
Washington to one of our exchanges)
that at Lord Napier's bite hall in Wash
ington many of the gentlemen wore
hnnps! These hoops are made of steel,
and serve to improve the set of the panta
loons, to hide crooked legs, and to give
size and form to attenuated drum-sticks.'
gf/“Two hundred and sixty-eight cor
oner’s inquests were held at St. Louis
during the year 1857. Os these, twen
six were the results of murder ; and of
ninety-four who were drowned, seventy
of the bodies were not recognized. The
suicides were twenty-eight.

bilt has established an opposition line

Joe Smith’s Family at Aauvoo.
A correspondent of the Missouri Re
publican writes that last summer he was
at Nuuvoo, and conversed with Mr. Bi
toman, who is married to Joe Smith’s
widow. He says :
“ I sat at the table with the family,
consisting of Mr. Bitoman and wife,and
three sons of Joe Smith, the eldest
about twenty-three or twenty-four ;
the second about twenty ; the third a
lad of some twelve or thirteen years.—
1 From Mr. Bitoman I learned that not
one of the family believed in Mormon
. ism, and that his wife, formerly Mrs.
| Smith,had alwaysbeen opposed to them,
1 as well as the hoys. I was told that Joe
t Smith prophesied some two years be
{ fore tills young lad was born, that a son
was to be born to him at or about a cer
' tain time ; that at the time stated his
: wife did give birth to a son. At that
, time he also stated that his son's name
would be David (not Joe), and that is
' the name of the lad, for I heard him
i answer to it. Joe also said that his
• mantle of greatnessand prophesy would
fall upon this son and linal heir, David,
who he stated would he as wise and
’ powerful as David of old. The fact of
the birth of the child following accord
ing to Joe’s prophecy strengthened the
1 belief that had already ;so strong a hold
upon his followers. Sirs. Bitoman is a
masculine, intelligent-looking lady, of
forty-five or forty-seven years. She is a
native of New York.
She has a splendid farm some four
miles from Nauvoo, which is managed
by her two eldest sons,while David goes
to school. About the two eldest there
is nothing remarkable to be seen. They
are intelligent men, of large size, but ;
have nothing in their appearance, be
tokening them to he prophets, or ‘sons
of a prophet.’ To their mother they
are said to be very much attached and
very kind. David is an uncommonly in- 1
telligeut lad, of massive forehead and
, bright, expressive eyes- His step-fath
er intimated that he cares as little
I about the Mormons and Mormonism as
- one that has never heard the names,
notwithstanding that thousands of the
8 followers of his father believe him to be
a great high priest, a prophet, and seer,
- (in embryo,) Sc. He knows that they
worship his name equal to that of Jesus
Christ; and yet, I am told the lad is
; too intelligent to allow it to make any
. impression upon him. Probably the
, fact of all the family being unbelievers
5 in it is thecause.
’ The following incident I learned from !
r a gentleman residing at Nauvoo :
3 That when Joe was killed in jail,some |
' fifteen miles from his home,his wife and
_ son took possession of his body, and to
prevent tlie rabble from getting it.they
' raised the fioar of the dining room,
B and digging a grave, buried his remains
i there, where they still remain. This
story, whether true or not, is generally
8 believed in Nauvoo.
Yellow Fever at Havana.
, The following extract from a letter
j dated Jan. loth, gives a sad account of
. the sickness in Havana :
[ “ Your package for the Scnora D. ar
rived too late ; she was dead and buried !
Her illness was short—only four days ;
her disease, this dreadful fever which
our physicians acknowledge they do not:
understand. Every day we are called
! upon to weep over the fresh grave of
i some dear friend. Besides this strange
[ fever we have vomito and small-pox,
both very fatal. I rejoice every day
that you did not come this winter. The
heat is as intense as in August. Let
none of your friends come here.
, This “strange fever” is the African
fever, which somewhat resembles the
yellow fever, but is more fatal. Even
the Creoles, as in the case of the Sonora
D., are dying out.

l Col. A. K. McClung—•His Suicide.
There is not, we presume, a single
' man in the South who lias not heard of
Col. McCltmg. We picked up an ex
- change this morning and found the fol
\ lowing Ode to Death by this great man,
which is certainly the noble chaunt of a
> manly sorrow. Col. McClung was
a known as a duelist, having killed as
many as four men, we believe, in duels.
Notwithstanding his chivalry ahd intre
-3 pidity he was gentle as a child. With
- the ferocity of a tiger, he combined the
, generosity of the lion ; with the daring
of an eagle, lie unitedall that is great in
1 man. He walked the eartli like a Titan,
t but left behind him many an able char- j
. acteristic. He wore a noble heart full l
of tender generosity. His whole life il
' lustrated that—
“ The brave are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.' s
McClung had genius of the first order !
was honored, loved and almost wor-;
1 shipped by a host of friends. Wearied
■ of life, disappointed and satiated, he
. woed the embraces of death, and, with
the hope of being slain, he enlisted in I
1 the Mexican war. His gallantry on the
battle-field at Monterey is known to all.
i He was seriously wounded, but death
t came not to his relief. At Buena Vista,
he was carried on a litter to the battle
r field and exposed his life again ; but
- death still eluded him and refused to
recognize his earnest votary. Despair
ing of finding death on the battle field
0 he returned to Mississippi and lived un
i til life became a burden to him, and
I then committted suicide by blowing out
bis own brains. He deliberately drank
3 tiie fatal draught. It is easy to die in
f battle, when the spirit is stirred to a
courageous madness, by the rushing
squadron, the roar of the cannon and
the clashing steel* Then all the fierce
1 instincts are aroused, and the soldier
) seeks for death as the bridegroom seeks
. for his bride—while.
t; Kamo is there to tell who bleeds,
And honor's eye’son daring deeds”—
’ we say it is not hard on such occasions
- to drink from the chalice of death, hut \
2 how a man like Col McClung, full of
, genius, loved and caressed, can delibe !
lately commit suicide is a mystery:
which can never be revealed. But we I
• are keeping the reader from Colonel Me- j
i Clung s death song. He wuos the ein- j
brace of death in soft, beseeching melo- i
, dy. A few months before his death he j
wrote the following lines, overflowing |
with vocal and rythmical liquidity. It j
is the melody of despair—the last lay of
the minstrel. As has already been re
marked by our friend Posey, tiie swan
under the instinctive presentiment of
death, sings it own dirge, and the vigor
of death lends inspiration and sweetness
to its song. Like the dying swan, poor?
dying McClung sung his own sweet and
beautiful invocation.
Swiftly speed o’er the waves of time,
Spirit of Death !
Iu manhood’s morn, in youthful prime, (
I woo thy breath !
For the fading hues of hope have fled
Like the dolphin’s light, 1
And dark are the clouds above my head i
As the starless bight!
Oh ? vainly the voyager sings for the rest
Os the peaceful heaven—
The pilgrim saint Tor the homes of the blest
And the calm of Heaven 1
The galley slave for the night wind’s breath.
At the burning noon !
But more gladly I’d spring to tiiy cold arms,
Death come soon !

Til* Late Fight In C ongress.
A correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury, who was an eye witness, gives
j the following account of the difficulty
' between Keitt and Grow, on the floor
i of the House :
Washington, Feb. 6 —At about two
o'clock A. M., Gen. Quitman offered a
proposition to disentangle the proceed
! ings in the House. Mr. Grow, who was
|in one of the aisles on the democratic
| side of the House, objected a little tart
jly. Mr. Keitt said to him, "Goon the
other side of the House, to which you
belong, if you want to object.” Mr.
Grow answered, "I’ll object where 1
please.” Mr. Keitt then said, “ Wait
till I can come round, and I'll take care
of you.” Mr. Keitt went round and
said to him. “ You Abolitionist puppv,
move to your side of the House, and
don’t stay here.” Mr. Grow said, “I'll
stay as long as I please.” Mr. Keitt
j then choked him for an instant. He
j then started olf, when Mr. Grow said,
I “ You can't come from your plantation
! and crack the whip over me.” Mr.
| Keitt turned back and said, “ I’ll choke
i you again for that insolence,” and he
| grasped his throat a second lime. Gen.
| Davis, of Mississippi, then interfering,
wrenched Mr. Keitt round to keep them 1
apart, and pressing him against the cor
ner of a table, Mr. Keitt partially fell.
Mr. Grow, when Mr. Keitt was wrench
led round to separate them, struck at
I Mr. Keitt, we think, but did not reach
I him. Those by say he did not reach
j him. Mr. Barksdale, in interfering to
separate them, was struck, and dealt a
j few heavy blows in return. The whole
j thing was sudden and over in a moment,
j There was not much excitement pre
vailing before or afterwards. This is a
succinct statement of the whole affair,
which will, doubtless, he greatly exag
gerated by Black Republican prints.—
The whole thing was extemporaneous.
i
Origin of tlie Hank of Kiiglnml.
I £o late as the time of the Restoration,
j every merchant kept a strong box in his
jown house ; and when acceptances were
presented to him, took down the crowns
and Caroluses on his own counter. Gen
tlemen locked up their gold in their
country houses, or traveled with it in
their coaches. Those were the halcyon
days of thieves, when a burglar would
often be able, after a single night’s
work, to retire with a fortune ; and
highway robbery was a lucrative pro
fession, whose adepts were styled “gen
tlemen of the road.”
By the end of Charles Find's reign it
was discovered that it was both safe and
more convenient to have agents to keep
the cash of commercial houses. This
new branch of business fell naturally in
to the hands of goldsmiths,who were ac
customed to traffic largely in the pre
cious metals, and who had vaults where
masses of bullion could lie secure from
fire and robbers. It was at the shops of
the goldsmith of Lombard street, that
all the payments in coin were made.—
I Other traders gave and received nothing
but paper. But the same reasons which
led the community to gather their cash
into fifty vaults instead of leaving it
scattered among a thousand, soon led
them to see that it would be still better
to keep it in one, instead of fifty. In
William the Third's time the matter
: was freely discussed, and in 10'.)4 it
i took the definite shape of a plan fur a
j National Bank. The Bank was estab
lished, and gained popular favor less by
| arguments than by its manifest conven
ence and utility. It lived, and grew
and prospered and for a hundred and
fifty years the wealth of England has
lived and grown and prospered with it.

1 great relief in Dyspepsia, and arising from a dis
ordered state of the stomach, shch as nausea,
constipation, fullness of blood to the head, giddi
ness of the head, depression of spirits, loss of
appetite, pain iu the side and back, fever anti
ague, general debility, and the “ thousand other
ills ” arising frouFandigestion and enfeebled con
dition of the digestive organs. Habitual costive
ness is found very frequently connected with
feeble constitutions, and persons of sedentary
habits, which often exerts a very unfavorable
intiuetiee upon the general health of the subject,
aud is particularly manifested by a restless ami
despom-iug state of inind, irregular, if noja losa
of appetite.
For this condition of the system, this article is
confidently-recommended with the positive as
surance that, if the doscis properly adjusted, so
