The Mew Kansas Bill.
There is still an uncertainty among
the newspapers, as to the meaning of
this instrument, though the Adminis
tration journals generally speak favor
ably and advocate its adoption. Oppo
sition editors see in the bill, objections
that will render its adoption impolitic,
and therefore prefer to see the whole
thing adjourned, and await the devel
opements of the future. Conservative
men view the whole matter with indif
ference, having become tired of the
thousand and one schemes which have
been invented, with Kansas for a foun
dation, for the building up of particular
objects and parties, or the pulling down
of opposition which stood in their way.
If politicians were held to as strict ac
count for opinions expressed in the dif
ferent phases of this Kansas question, as
they are upon some other points, their
history would present a curious medley
of contradictions, which would give
them a lease of retirement to private
life. But there has from the first, been
allowed a license on this question which
for variety has never been equalled. A
history of the resolves and ultimatums,
and platforms, would be unprofitable,
and the dates are so recent, they can
readily be recalled by the curious in
a uch matters.
We have become tired and weary of
forming even an opinion upon questions
of such vital importance, as we are told,
which are spread before us every few
days, and on which the union of the
States and welfare of the world depends.
We still live, and are favorably impress
ed with the notion that the end is still
far off, notwithstanding we have passed
through various crises, where the vari
ation of a single point in the compass,
was going to hurry us headlong into
destruction. We have made so many
hair-breadth escapes that we are sensi
bly impressed with the idea that we I
have been straining at a gnat, while we !
have, perhaps unconciously, swallowed
a half-dozen saw-mills.
If experience is the best school in
which to learn wisdom, we ought to be
as wise as Solomon by this time. At any
rate, u-e are in no burry to adopt the j
last dogma issued from the room of the
Conference Committee in Washington. !
We either don’t understand the merits
of the Bull, or it is virtually the same
thing as passed the House a short time
since known as the Crittenden Amend
ment. We acknowledge that our stu
pidity prevents our understanding the
difference between submitting the Le
compton Constitution to a direct vote
of the people of Kansas, for approval or
rejection or singling out me clause, the
adoption or rejection of which shall ad
mit Kansas, with the Lecompton Con
stitution or reject her altogether. Wc ,
are committed to Lecompton, and don’t
believe in the policy of risking it, on j
the bargain and sale plan of offering ;
land as an inducement, to purchase the j
votes of the fanatics of Kansas.

llie following facts are from an inte- ■
resting article on the famly nomencla- ‘
ture of England and Wales, in the six- !
teenth annual report of the register-gen- !
eral of England :
The indexes of births, marriages and
deaths, for seventeen and a half years
contain more than 21,000,000 names
In England, Smith is by far the most
common name ; while in Wales the
name of Jones predominates. During
*he period above named, the records of
both England and Wales show 285,037
persons named Smith, and 282’,000
named Jones. Os the whole population
of England and Wales in 1855, one per
son in 73 was named Smith ; one in 76
was a Jones ; one in 114 a Williams ;
one in 148 a Taylor; one in 162 a Davis;
and one in 175 a Brown. Over half a
million of the whole population were
.named Smith or Jones. I

gThe Savannah Republican says, there
was quite a frost visible in that city yes
terday morning. A gentleman who had
a few cotton plants, which had sprung
from some waste seed, found them
withered by noon and to all appearance
lifeless.
The Columbus Sun of Wednesday,
says, we bad another slight frost yester
day morning, but so far as wo can hear
it did no material damage to vegetation
—or rather, we have not heard of its
killing anything.
The Atlanta American of the same date
! says: “ Yesterday morning there was
considerable frost and ice in this locali
ty —and also a heavy frost this morning.
Much damage has been done to vegeta
tion in low situations. So far as we
have been able to ascertain, the wheat j
and fruit crops have received but little
damage.’’
The Dalton Times says: “On Monday
and Tuesday nights our section was vis- j
ited by a frost, which we regret to learn
has materially damaged wheat.”
John H. Burton has been sent to the
Penitentiary from Franklin county, for
seven years, for negro stealing. The
principle witness against him was his
own brother.
R. W. Cain of Franklin county has
becnjsentto the Penitentiary for two
years, for cutting the throat of a Mr.
Vendiver.
Franklin Askea, of the same county,
has been furnished with a room at Mil
ledgeville for two years, for receiving
stolen goods from negroes.
Wm. Howell, of that same Franklin,
has let himself to serve the State at
Milledgeville for three years for borrow
ing what did not belong to him.
Franklin county has either a very!
bad population, or unusually vigilant
officers of the law.
Garden vegetables were generally
killed by the frost about Athens, on
Tuesday night.
Since the commencement of the relig
ious revivals in Athens,eighty five have
joined the Methodist Church, forty five

On the morning of the 14th inst,Tray,

General C'oneha Resigned.
General Concha’s brother, at Madrid,
j lias written him a letter to send home
| his resignation, as his removal has been
: determined upon and his successor des
ignated. His resignation accordingly
lias been forwarded, and in a few months
a change of the Governorship of Cuba
may be anticipated. So says the special
Havana correspondent of the Picayune.
Gen. Concha lias administered the gov
ernment more successfully than any of
his predecessors, and is perhaps the best
man that could be selected for the posi
tion. What the result of his removal
will be remains to be seen.

A New Move In Behalf of Assassina
tion.
From the Criminal Zeilung, of New
York, it appeals that a “ Joint Stock
Company” i* about to be established
for the killing of Louis Napoleon. It
says, in a rather sarcastic manner :
Three hundred dollars are already
(subscribed, A gentleman in Hoboken
(having subscribed two-thirds of this
| sum. A revolutionary philosopher and
(agitator, named Heinzen, is said to be
j concerned in the matter, and offers to
I avenge the enslaved nations of Europe
(by killing the French Emperor. There
seems, however, to exist doubts as to
! bis sincerity, and whether it is safe to
entrust him with the funds. On the
part of Mr. Heinzen, it is asserted that;
the money is no consideration whatever, |
the sum being necessary to defray the
expense of the means for executing the
plan promised, and which, we are told
is to be accomplished, like a patriot,
without any consideration for himself
whatever.
Progress of the Revival.
( Tile N. Y. Observer of Thursday, has
(the following :
) The progress of the work of grace in
jour city, and in the country at large,
; continues to be highly encouraging.—
(The meeting in this and the adjoining
cities are still attended by crowds, who
manifest an interest as deep as ever,and
(uuce which we cannot but hope will be
’ permanent. The entire absence of all
undue excitement, from the very com
mencement of the revival, and the fact
abundantly shown that there is no spe
jcial reliance upon any particular hu
j man agency,as atformer times,strength
jensthis hope. If the people of God
(will go steadily forward in thedischarge
;of duty, living according to their high
s profession, and trust in God for thecon
(tinued outpouring of the Spirit, the
work will not cease. We shall be per
: mitted still to record the triumphs of di
■ vine grace, as now, in the ingathering
;'of souls into the fold of Christ. Our
f | exchanges from Portland, Boston Phila
f jdelphia and other cities, speak of the
* work as still progressing.

being an increase of 5 1-12 per cent, on
the year 1856. In England, each per

and in Ireland only 7. The number of
letters is moie than sixfold what it was
1 the year before the introduction of pen
ny postage. The average annual in

Lntrv from Texas.
By the arrival of the steamship Mag
nolia, from Galveston, at Berwick Ray,
yesterday, we have Galveston papers of
the 22d inst., a day later than we had
. by steamship Mexico.
We learn from the Civilian that the
anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto
was observed in Galveston by a display
of the flags in the shipping and of the
1 consular officers, and a grand salute of
artillery. In the evening Gen. McLeod
delivered an eloquent and patriotic ad
dress at the Female Seminary, the large
hull being crowded. There was also a
ball at the Isand City Hotel.
The Civilian says that more than one
third of the inmates of the Texas peni
tentiary are, or rather were, free ne
groes. The whole number of convicts
is 341, of whom 97 are (or were before
they were imprisoned) free negroes.
James L Allen has been elected May
or of ludiamoia.
The Houston Republic says that the
timber lands of Harris county, near the
line of the Houston, Opelousas and New
Orleans Railroad, have enhanced fully
one hundred per cent, in value within a
few days.
The Galveston News learns that the
Sabins and Neches rivers are full to the
banks, and that there is still a large
quantity of cotton at their landings.
The News has the following paragraph
about the destruction caused by the
grasshoppers:
We regret to have received from our
special correspondent and others the
fullest confirmation of our worst fears
as regards the devastations committed
by grasshoppers in many parts of the
West. In many places entire corn
fields have been laid waste, there not
being left a blade or ‘■talk of anything
green. The corn, which had grown five
or six inches high, has been utterly de
stroyed. A gentleman, just down from
San Antonio, says these insects com
pletely cover the prairies in many places,
destroying everything before them as
they go.

A Wonderful Creature.
We saw yesterday a curious looking] •
native of the briny deep called a “sea ,
rose.” It was shown to us at the groce-1 ]
ry store of Mr. N. J. Beebe, Bank street, j'
where it “hangs out” at present in a
pail of salt water. It is of a bright red
color—nearly round in form and per- 1
haps three inches in diameter—and of •;
a pulpy consistency, rather more solid
than the “jellies” common in these i
waters. It is attached to a stone, to o
which it adheres as firmly as if it and |
the stone were a pair of Siamese twins. 1
On the top of this leathery looking cus- j
tomer is an orifice which varies in size ]
from about two inches in diameter to 1
almost nothing—opening and shutting 1
according to the sovereign will and ‘
pleasure of the animal—if a “sea rose” ;
can be called an animal. A very curious
operation to witness is its mode of tak
ing refreshment, Little scraps of raw (
fish put into the creature’s mouth—or ,
whatevev the orifice above mentioned
should be called—are seized by nunier
ous little fibres or feelers, and drawn in
out of sight, after which the “sea rose” ,
is ready for more. This singular crea
ture was fished up by a smack man, liv
ing in this city, somewhere in the vi
cinity of Fisher's Island. —New London

CERTIFICATE:
We have careful!'- examined the Cans and Ex j
liausting Apparatus of Dr. H. G. Dayton, intend
ed for the preservation of Fruits, Vegetables,
Eggs, Butter, &<\, Ac., and find them construct
ed upon philosophical principles, aud admirably
adapted by their simplicity and cheapness lor
common domestic use. The vulvural arrange
ment, effected by a bit of oil silk, laid over an |
orifice in the Tin Disc covering the jar, and
wnich allows a free escape of the contained air
into the chamber of the Exhauster, and instantly
and off ctualiy closes by the read mission of at
mosphere by the removal of the gum elastic
ball cover, inis long been in use, and is highly ;
approved by Mr K. T. Ritchie, Philosophical Iu- i
strument-maker, in Boston, and h s been sue j
cesslully employed by ourselves in controlling j
the action of Chamberlain’s powerful Lever Air- j
pump. We believe the c nvenience and ready
adaptation ol Mr. Dayton’s improvements will I
deservedly recommend them to popular favor, j
A. MEANS,
Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Medical
Col ego of Georgia.
For further particulars, see descriptive bills,
which we will have ready for circulation in a
few days.
We have made arrangements with the South
cm Porcelain Company for a full supply of
