• From *•>'’ Mootfomwy Mail. Floating Jokes. ]s tiik Wroko Room.—Have you never, in j n j c o f your pleasant moods, wished you poe » ~<<! the powers of a ventriloqutat, or ai ' ,-t the hnitathe powers of Dr. Valentine or Jeeuies I’ipcs ? Not for the purpose of vexing the life out of any one, as did the wicked €’a brivn to Monsieur i’ipelet; but for a little haratlow amusement, as does that wag of a ventriloquist, Signor Blitz. Y frieud of ours, who is liberally endowed with imitative powers, related to us not long einee an amusing adventure, in which he play ed a prominent part, that made us really envy hi- faculty of manufacturing fun. Our friend was a lodger lor the night al the 'Floyd House,’ Macon, Ga. To use ilis own language, ‘I wa ' lighted to a room in the fourth story, at bed tiuic . I had retired, and was enjoying my self-confessional.’ The room, although rather elevated, was commodious. In the iiypothe nusc corner was another bed. The moon, just over the street, could scarcely with all its pen etrating power*, force its inflected rays into v room, owing to the cloudiness of the at ni'sphere and the ‘bleached domestic’ hanging belore my windows. 1 had been in bed per haps a hail hour, when 1 heard footsteps ap proaching my door. The door was opened noiselessly, and two men came in. X could see there were two—only when moving, however. Mv first thouglit was one of apprehension; but upon their going silently to bed, 1 resolved to play oil’ a little joke upon my neighbors. 1 begun to imitate an old man of the country, with his ofl’clide voice and lung-splitting cough. By his side apparently lay his beloved compan ion, wedging in a word or so of advice, when opportunity offered a chance. Even the inno cent infant was not forgotten —aroused by the restlessness of its parents, it manifested its vexation by plaintive wailings. Old beloved’ became furious at the disturbance—Mama rented her spleen upon baby, and confusion was fairly rioting over in my corner. About tins time, 1 saw a head pop up from the other corner. ‘Bob, Bohl’ whispered the head.— •Bob, burst my timbers if we hav’nt made a mistake and got into u family room.’ •Uld man,' whispered the old woinato, ’didn’t you hear some one at the door ?’ ‘No, no!’ go to sleep —you are always think- ; ing about ghosts.’ file ‘head’ brought out from under the cover a body, and then legs. ’Bob,’ said the ‘head,’ ‘von can stay, if you are a mind to, but I'm going,’ and out came head, body, and legs, fol lowed by ‘Bob,’ now aroused to a consciousness of the peculiar delicacy of his situation. No time was taken to clothe themselves, for the door was immediately opened, and the ‘head’ and Bob’ disappeared. It required all the nerve I possessed to re strain my laughter while my neighbors were hastily decump.ng ; yet 1 kept up the conver sation between the ‘old beloved' mid mama and the wailings of baby. But a few moments elapsed ere my door was again opened, and the Bar-keeper, w itli a can dle, followed by the ‘head’ and ‘Bob,’ entered my room and approached my bed. I feigneu heavy sleep. ‘You tee you are mistaken,’ ob served Bar-keeper. ‘1 tell you,’ replied the ‘head,’ ‘that 800 and I were in that bed yon der; see where we rumpled it—and we heard a man, his wife, and 1 don’t know how many children over here in tills corner.’ The muscles of Bar-keeper’s cheeks began ; to twitch, and Bob seemed touched with awak ening intelligence. As profound as was my slumber, I could scarcely help from roaring out. •Do you think that fellow has been playing a prank on us ?’ asked the ’head.’ Well, it kinder looks that way,’ says the Bar-keeper. The ‘head’ approached my bed, laid his hand roughly upon my breast, and shook mo violent ly. 'Stranger, stranger,’ suid he, ’where's that woman and baby ?’ I yawned, stretched, and opened my sleep loaded eyes, and appeared astonished at the unexpected visitation. 'Where’s that woman and baby you had here?’ repeated the 'head.' ‘What woman and baby are you speaking ’of?’ said 1, in utter amazement. All, poor innqgent yonr.g man 1 how sud denly ignorant you are. Get np from your be I aud follow us, instantly.’ ‘But, sir, I— ’ ‘Get up. I say.’ 1 half arose, yet hesitated. The look of the ‘head’ was austere ; yet Bar-keeper und Bob were smiling. ‘Get out ot bed. and don’t keep us here all night.’ • I was a Tittle irritated at this : and spring-1 ing to the floor, 1 demanded the cause of my being disturbed at that hour of the night. 'No harm w ill be offered you, stranger,’ said ‘ the Bar-keeper, with a half choked laugh. 'For hiding that woman and baby,’ said the ’ ‘head,’ with u smile struggling at the corner of his mouth. 'What do you wish with me?’ said 1, hastily pulling on my clothes. ‘Arise and follow us,’ said the 'head,’ in a I deep, sepulchral voice; ‘you are to meet the ■ fate of the royal beast, who was 'drowned in a ! butt of malmsay.” Having finished my toilet, I followed my cu ri "iis visitor to the ‘hole hi the wall.’ 1 was led up to the s<ir, and called upon in the pres ence of his Honor, who presided behind, to make a full confession of my capital offence.— Bob exploded, Bar-keeper swallowed his quid, trying to save his breath, while 'his Honor* half closed his eyes in ecstaey. 'Give us,’ said the 'bead' in an authoritative tone, ‘some wine. Let it be dark for the crim inal, that with it he may drown the recollection id iiis deed of darkness. Give to us pale wine, that we may hide the frightful vision that drove the Idood from our cheeks, in its health giving body.’ ‘How long,’ said my friend, ‘we practised at that bar —how many pleas, counter pleas, rebut tals’ rejoinders aud surrejoinders we put in— how we vanquished, to the no small satisfac ti nos ‘his Honor,’ Otard and Heidsick, Esqrs.. iud hurled them empty and prostrate to the floor—how cur eloquence, like a flood, swal lowed up judge, jury, prisoner and all, is not for the pages of historical narrative, but for th memory of the participators in that mid night revel.’ The Presidency. \n exchange paper snyz: When Mr. Buchanan’s term ends, eleven years will elapsed since the office ot President ha* been held by a southern man ; and twenty nine years will have passed, since, with a sin , e exception, the nomination of the Demo- < -..tie party for that office, has been given to southeru man, Under this state of facts, it i-c ' .ceded by northern Democrats that the < ark-ston couveuUuu must preaent a southern ■uudidu'etor the Presidency.

Startling from Kansas. On the 21st instant, a row occurred at a ecunty convention in Holtotq the county seat of Calhoun county, K. 1., between the Repub licans on one side, and Free Stale men amt Democrats on the other. A prc-slavery man named Cole was first attacked, when a regular melee ensued, in which pistols, knives and clubs were freely used. The Republicans rushed to a house near by, which is said to have contain ed about sixty Sharpe’s rilles, and commenced firing on their opponents, who were forced to beat a retreat. Three of the wounded, Messrs. Chisam, Willoek and B. Hull, arrived in Weston, Platte ‘ county, where they formerly resided, on Mon day last, having been driven from their homes in Kans .s, leaving their families behind them. Chisam was shot, ball lodging in the right side of his head, near the temple. Hall was shot in the right arm, breaking the j bone aud so completely shivering the arm as to require amputation. He was leftat Holton, and is not expected to live. Willoek was shot in the face, ball taking ef fect left side of the nose, and lodging in his right cheek —face very much swollen ; ball not extracted. B. Hull and others were beaten across the head with clubs ami gun-barrels—breaking ' Mr. Hall’s nose.—.S7. Joseph Journal. Free Negroes. Writing on this subject, the New York Jour nal o f Commerce yays: •• It is a fact, according to the Census Com- ‘ : [ cndiuui quite I by “ Wilberforce,” that the. colored population of New England and New York was 72.G88 in 1840, and only 72,090 in , ],sso. Showing a decrease in ten years of; 508. It is a fact tii.il in all the free States and | Territories, taken together, the colored popula tion in the same ten years increased from 171,- i 857 to 195/180, or 14.38 per cent.: and that in ) all the slaveholding Stales the free colored population increased only about 11 percent.' It is a fact that within the same period the slave population of the United States increased from 2,487,445 to 3.204,313, or 28.82 per cent, (just double the ratio of the colored population of the tree Slates). It is a fact that the whole population of the United States within the same period, increased from 14,195,695 to 19,553,- 008, or 37.74 per cent. It is a fact that an ag gregate oi less than 400,000 slaves imported into the United States since the first settlement of the country (see Census Compendium, pp. 83-4), have increased to 3,638,808, including ■ those now free. In other words, there are nine colored persons now, for every one imported. It is a tact (see Carey on the Slave Trade, and Census Compendium, pp. 83-4), that 700,300 negroes imported into Jamaica prior to 1817, had diminishod to less than half that number in 1833, including free colored persons; and that of 1,700,000 negroes iuiportsd into the ' wh >le British West Indies in the course of ' years, only 600.000 remained to lx> emancipa ted in 1833.

Macon, Ga. —••— • “I never saw a Bar shot Up.” Several years ago I happened to arrive in St. Lmis when the hotels were uncomfortably full. The only bed attainable was in a room w here six other wayfarers were lodged, at the Planters’ Hotel, and 1 turned in at a late hour with some trepidation, not having been accus tomed to the society of strangers in such cir cumstances. Tile ffisggreeal.le not city of my ! situation prevented sound sleeping, pnd while ! ' tossing uneasily upon the mattrass, 1 heard a I tall and rather rough-looking gentleman from Arkansas, who had retired at about the same 1 hour with myself, muttering some incoherent expressions, about two o’cloi k in the mornirg. • Can't stand this,’ he exclaimed, at length, and soon after he was pulling the bell-rope en ergetically. The porter appeared in due time, his coun- ; lenance expressive of great reluctance.— ■ • What’s wanted?’ asked lhe servant. ‘ I want a mint jule|>—stop, let me see, (looking at the sleepers and counting them off with bis forefinger,) I want one, two, three, four, five, six. seven juleps about us quick as you can hurry them up.’ ‘ Can't got 'em, sir. The bar is shut up, sir.' , >Sj saying, ]>orter di.parted without buying ' anything more, lhe Arkansas gent seemed nonplussed. He j sat up in bed and soliloquised, 'Bar shot up! oar shot up! ! 1 never seen n 1 ar shot up vet.’ , In ab .ut two minutes he was dressing him-j self with his clothes, and addressing himself with the same remark, 'I never seen a bar shot up before,’ Having completed his toilet, Jjp disappeared and I lay bread awake in a musing mood.— Tne Arkansiau ulter a halt hour’s ab encc re appeared. He b re in his hands a salver, 011 winch were placed seven juleps made in the j most approved sty le. 1 raised my head on iiis entering, and he exclaim' d, ‘Hello, stranger, j take a drink and invite vmir friends (<i du the same.’ I explained to him that 1 had no friends in that part of the United States. He proceeded to arouse the sleepers, and, if my memory is nut at fault, not one refused the cooling bever age. •Thought the Lar was shut up,' I remarked. ‘Well, stranger —it war shot up—the first bar I have ever seen shot up. Hut here's the to.l that picked the lock,’ and he drew irom the inside of his cent collar a lingo bowie knife. After draining his julep to the last dregs the strange gent retired, und just ns 1 was compos ing myself to sleep, 1 again beaid him solilo quising. 'No, I thank you, sir. No, I thank you, sir. (A pause.) What in h—l did he mean by that ? Can't stand that—must go down and sec about it.’ Again the Arkansas gentleman arose and . went down stairs, while 1 lay wondering what 1 he was about. Soon I heard a noise as of a serious row in the I ar-room below, and, hur rying on my garments, I descended. Sevetal persons were holding my Arkansas friend, and others were using restraining force in a simil ar manner upon another person, who, like my fellow-lodger, seemed belligerently inclined. At length their rage was cooled, and I was en abled to ascertain the cause of the quarrel.— When the Arkansas gentleman had first de scended aud persuaded the bar-keeper to con coct the juleps, the other gentleman entered and my friend in the most amiable manner said to him, ‘Stranger, ’spose you and I take a private drink together before I take these ju _ teps to my party up sta'rs.’ The stranger re plied, ‘No, I thank you.’ 1 Arkansas, finding his juleps ready about 1 that time, took them up stairs, where we pun | ished them as before stated. After seining i himself m bed. it occurred to him that the ' stranger below had refused to drink with him when invited, and he determined, on reflection, to go down and ask him what he meant by say ing, ‘No, 1 thaiiK you, sir.’ On finding that ; gentleman our Arkansas friend soon found that he was us lull of light as himself, aud instead of an apology, he presented a bowie-knife.— ; Both drew iheir weapons, and the bar-tender and porter had I een obliged to call in assist ance to prevent them from cutting each other. The atfair was finally settled with a drink ! all round, and the Arkansas gent departed ' next day down the river.— Boston Herald. . * ' - The Bark Rawlins—Committment of three Mates—Confession of Murder.
