* COLUMBUS, GEORGIA
SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 6, 1355.
\\ hat Next ?—Kansas Emigration Aid society
of Georgia.
Now that the election is over and it is settled by a
verdict of the people that there shall be no change in the
uniform rule of national policy as to naturalization and
religious freedom, we may hope to engage public atten
tion iu the consideration of vital importance
to the Southern States.
The Kansas troubles are daily growing more com
plicated, and no time ought to be. lost by the Southern
people in a conceited movement to aid oor friends in
that Territory, The Northern aud Southern ekerrnishers
bare crossed swords upon the bordcra of Missouri and
the event of the conflict has been favorable to the South ;
but the battle proper has yet to take place, and unless
the Southern hosts receive large and timely reinforce
ments, they will be as powerless as L?onidas at Ter
mopylas, to turn back the hordsof Northern fanaticism.
We are afraid the Southern people are not alive to the
immense interests involved in the struggle now going
on in Kau&as. In our judgment not only the fate ot
the Union but the destiny of the South are staked upon
the issue. A Iready there is a decided Northern preponde
ranee in Congress aud in the electoral college against
the South. If fraternal feelings existed in the two
grsud division* of the Union this disturbance of the
balance of power in the Government would be cf no
practical moment. But instead of love, direst hate
pervades the Northern mind towards their brethren of
the South. Not only are the emissaries of abolition tole
rated at the North; but martyrdom in the abolition
crusade is the surest pasport to public confidence and
indeed the only infaiiblo avenue to the honors and emolu
ment of office in the Northern Stales. Slavery is re
garded by our Northern brethren as the sin par ex
cellence of the American people. To steal a negro and
spirit him across the border, so far from being repro
brated as a sin, is regarded as a species of heroism which
entitles the rogue to canonization. Hence the avidity
with which the Northern people seized upon the pro
ject of colonizing Kansas with abolition emissaries, and
the astonishing success which has crowned the efforts
cf the Massachusetts Emigration Aid Societies.
Defeat in their purpose to gain control of the Terri
torial Government aud thus legislate slavery out of
Kansas, has not dampened the ardor of the fanatics.—
The work still goes bravely on and emigrants are being
doily forwarded to the Territory. Hitherto Missouri
has had to cope single handed with the prolific holds
of New England and the north-west; her success has
been as gratifying as it is astonishing ; but the contest
is unequal ; and without material aid from the South,
the Missouri settlers must be overpowered.
But how shall the needed succor be afforded ? There
is no diiSculty about the matter whatever. There are
thousands of Southern meu, “to the manner born.”
who would gladly emigrate to Kansas, if the means
were furnished them to pay the expenses of the journey
and buy a pre-emption right to the soil of Kansas. A
negro thrown in would quicken their zeal, but as this
would be two severe a tax upon Southern liberality, or
rather, more than it will stand, we think it had better
bo abandoned at once, aud all the funds raised be ap
propriated to the purchase of a pre-empt ion for actual
settlers and the defraying of the actual expenses of the
trip. If a judicious selection is made of the immigrants,
there is no danger of their abandoning the South after
they arrive In Kansas.
We suggest then, to the next Legislature the pro
priety of incorporating a ‘‘Kansas Emigration Society
for the State of Georgia,’ 5 with power to establish Aid
Societies in every county in the State, upon the plan of
our great Southern Central Agricultural Society, aud
its associated clubs in the several counties.
In the mean time we, call upon the press and poli
ticians of Georgia to bring this plan before the people.
If any thing is done for Kansas, it, ought to ba done
quickly ; the candle is burning at both ends ; twelve
months will determine whether, the North or the South
is to have Kausas ; or, in other words, whether South
ern civilization is to advance pari passu with the
growth of the Republic, or is to remain stationary aud,
of consequence, to dwindle and die out, while the des
cendants of the Puritans conquer the world, aud impose
upon mankind their hard, stiff’, meddiing system of
Government; and their morose, intolerant and hypocriti
cal form of religion.
Defeat of Know Nothings.
The election, on Monday last, has placed upon the
forehead of Know Nothingism in Georgia, the unmis
takable brand of the popular condemnation. The ie*
bke is signal, emphatic, and, we believe, final, Geor
gia has recorded her voice iu characters of blazing light,
against Know Nothingism iu all its odious features, both
as regards its forms of organization in Secret Lodges,
and affiliated Councils, uuited under a great central
head, with the seoresy, the oaths, the obligations,
the degrees and discipline, the grips aud signs and
passwords, and as regards its leading and avow
ed aims of National and State policy. The former,
the mere paraphernalia of flummery and humbug inten
ded to cajole, to beguile and to tie down the honest cit
izen and deprive him of his free agency—the Utter, in
tended to undermine and finally break down the Con
stitutional bulwarks erected by the Fathers of the Re
public, for the protection of the citizen of every clime
and of every religion, who links his destiny with Repub
licanism and religious freedom on our soil. Know
Nothingism', in it inside forms and its outside develop
ments —Know Nothingism iu its internal discipline and
desigos, is alike rejected and condemned in Georgia.—
The vote is hut an imperfect indication of the popular
disgust with Know Nothingism : for, during the canvass
it shifted its attitudes and changed its colors, and resort
ed to adroit pal ations, in d iff.- rent localities in the
state to meet every ex g-ney of the local sentiment. —
It showed thus, in some counties, a factitious strength.
Io some counties it was bolstered up by the popularity
aud influence of men who, while professedly not sanc
tioning its principles, allowed themselves to be used in
it* behalf.
Again, side issues were suddenly sprung up to dis
tract the public mind from Uie'main question.. Preju
dices against Gov. Johnson, growing but of past party
rehiiioijs and party contests, were appealed to, ard with
eff-ct. Misrepresentations and distortions of facts, in
regard to the management cf the State Railroad, were
plentifully circulated iu pamphlets and handb'lls, and
voles were influenced thereby. But with ail these
drawback?, the senlimeot of Georgia has been spoke n
w?h crushing effect against Know- Nothingism.
Georgia responds to the glorious voice of Old Vir
ginia. She stands by her Seothern sister*. North Car
olina, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas. She repudiates
Know Nothingism, with its oaths and its obligations, its
Northern associations, its proscriptive sentiments, and
narrow minded intolerance, as uncongenial to
interests, io cjvil and religious liberty’, and to Constitu
tional rights.
Now the prospect brightens, that the South may be
come, on lb® paramount question of the day, “one par
ty and one people. ’’ — Con. $ Rep.

aud five for S7Q.~-Bavan>}ah Georgian, October 4th,
Later from Nicaragua.
The steamship Star of the West, which arrived at New
York on Sunday, brings intelligence of the election of Col.
Kinney as Governor.
The Colonel has issued his first proclamation, which is
a brief and sensible* document. He pledges himself to
spare no effort to procure from the government indemni
ty for the losses at Greytcwu. The first number of the
Colonel’s paper, the Central American, was issued at San
Juan del Norte on the 15th of September. It contains
the proceedings ot the meeting of citizens which elected
Col. Kinney, and also the name# of the offioers of the new
government.
Among them we observe the name of W. H. Young
as Government Attorney. This gentleman, we presume,
is the Editor of the Central American, and is known to
many ot our citizens from having resided here for some
time, as Editor of the Evening Journal.
Col. Walker has turned up again, and this time he is
victorious. With a force of 150 men he defeated the
government force of 400, which attacked him on the 3d.
He has addressed a letter to Secretary Marey, justifying
his own course, and very modestly instructing the Secre
tary as to the proper course for the U S. government to
pursue in relation to Nicaragua.— Sav. Cour.
Later from Salt Lake.
St. Louis, Sept. 29.
The mail from Salt Lake arrived at Westport yesterday,
bringing one month’s later intelligence.
The train met Gen. Harney twenty miles this side of Fort
Laramie, and the health of the troops was good.
Lieut. Heath was killed at the battle of Ash Hollow.
The IriWians tell in with a party of emigrants between
Ash Hollow and Fort Laramie, and, alter shaking hands
with them in a friendly manner, began shooting at them,
wounding badly one ot their number.
Black Babies —Barnum's Baby Show in Boston
seems to have excited the good people ot that city to an
unusual degree. But the oddest concomitant of th# ex
hibition was Bateman’s rival show of colored babies, which
threw Barnum’s altogether in the shade. A reporter
thus alludes to one of the ebony urchins:
“We nearly forgot it. The drollest thing of these baby
shows, is a white woman with a black infant at the Bate
man “Bazaar. How it happened, Mrs. Fowler or some
other learned lady may be able to tell—‘to dis child,’ it’s
all a mystery.”
It appears that Mrs. Fowler was on hand in Boston, as
well as iu New York, to show the beuefits derived from
such expositions. We presume she did not allude to the
physologieal mystery of “a white woman with a black in
fant.”—N. Y. Mirror.
Very Singular .—A wild man has been Raid to be
roaming through the great Mississippi bottom, in the
State of Arkansas. Numerous travellers and hunters
have asserted that they have seen him, but none have
ever been able to get near enough to give particulars con
cerning this strange being. This creature is 9&id unmis
takably to be a human being, over seven feet high, but
with ail the shyness and habits of a wild animal.
Yale College. —The present number of students in the
collegiate department of Yale College is as follows : Se
niors, 92; juniors, 109; sopbomors, 109; freshmen; 153
—total, 463.
Stampede. —A regular stampede of negroes was made
from this neighborhood on Saturday night the 15th inst.
They were ten in number.— Charlestown ( Md .) News.
Convert to Judaism. —The Rochester Democrat states
that an American Protestant lady of that city, a few weeks
since, entered the pale of Judaism, and last Sunday rhe
was married, according to the Jewish ritual, to a descen
dant of Abraham, .
Profitable Railroad. —The annual meeting of the Hart
ford arid New Haven Railroad corporation was held in
Hartford on Wednesday. It appears from the annual re
port that the earniugs for the past year hare been $730,’
012; expenses and interest, $433,167. A semi-annual
dividend of five per cent, and an extra dividend of five
per cent, were declared, making fifteen per cent, for the
year.
Sixc of the Russian Fleet Destroyed at Sebastopol.
According to the Courier des Etats Unis, the Russian flag
counted at Sebastopol in the month of September, 1854,
seventeen ships, 5 of 120 guns, the remainder of 84 guns ;
four frigates of sixty guns ; four eorvetts or brigs 5 twelve
steam-hips; and eighty two ships of inferior rank ; in all
108 ships, carrying 2,200 guns. This colossal Rrrnanent
was destroyed by the Russians themselves, to prevent it
from falling into the hands of their enemies.
Death of Buffalo Chief. —One of the most remarkable
Indians of the Northwest died on the 7th of September, at
the great age ol about 100 years. Few visitors to the head
of Lake Superior but have been struck bv the venerable and
sedate appearance of Ke-Che-Waish-Ke, or the Buffalo
Chief, the head and the most able chief of the Chippawa
Nation of Indians—alike noted for his rare integrity, wis
dom in council, power as an orator, and magnanimity as a
warrior. He was confined to his Lodge only a week by
sickness, pulmonary disease, and was buried one mile below
Middle Fort, with military honors.
Mexico.
It would seem that the flight of Santa Anna having
relieved Mexico of the curse of despotism against which
its patriots took up arms, no cause remained for fur
ther strife. That all who desired the prosperity of th#
country could have united in measures to restore to it,
peace and the blessings of rational freedom. But the
signs are that the removal of Santa Anna, has only
prepared the way for a struggle between, numbers of
aspirants for bis place. Alvarez De Is Llave Haro y
j Tamariz, Vidauri, and La Vega, each represents a fac
tion and is supported by an armed force. The Liuten
ant of Alvarez has already defeated a body of his ooun-
I trymen with severe loss and surrendered the city of
Zapatlan to pillage. Selfishness, ambition and ranco
rous hatred seem to sway unbridled, the actions of the
leaders, and the people, brutal, ignorant and demoraliz
ed, follow them without reflection. Amidst the warring
passions and appetites which desolate our unhappy
neighbor, not a sign can be discerned of the restoration
of peace, or the establishment of an enlightened and
just Government,
Later from Mexico*
N. Orleans, Oct. 2.
The steamship Nautillus has arrived with Browns
ville dates to tbe 22d September.
Gen. Castro was still in command at Matamoros.—
Some of the garrison favor the plan of Vidaurri. Tha
city is embroiled within, while the revolutionary force
menaces it without. The besiegers numbered from 600
to 1,200, and demand an unconditional surrender.—
Gen. Vidaurri is marching in that direction.
San Louis Potosi was captured by the insurgents, \
and Giti. Guitian was killed.
Tampico had pronounced io favor of the plan of Vi
daurri ; and the people had driven out Gen Cassouva.
i To Cleak Paint. — Smear a piece of flannel in
! common whiting, mixed to the consistency of
j common paste, in warm water. Rub the surface
| to be cleaned quite briskly, and wash off with pure
I cold water. Grease spots will in this way be al
most instantly removed, as well as other filth, and
the paint wHi retain its brilliancy and beautv unim
paired.
Cleansing Window Blinds.— Soap or strong
503 p suds will destroy gr£en paint more readily
than any other color; the lye has the same effect
on oil paints that it has with groaef*. I have seen
many painted rooms soiled by carelessness or ig
norance of washerwomen, in the application of
soap or strong spap water; when it dees not de
stroy the paint, it may effect the laster.

Wesleyan College. —The Fall term of the Wesley,
an female College at Macon commenced on Mondav
Oct. Ist. The vacancy in the Faculty occasioned by the
resignation of Professor Bonnell bas been filled by ffee
election of Prof, Stanly of Alabama.
A Government Suit. —A despatch from Washington
to the N. T. Tribune states that Capt. Folsom, deceased
late Quartermaster in California, who was reputed to be
a millionaire, is alleged to be in.debt to the government
for upwards of 6200,000. ‘lnstructions went on:-by the
last steamer to institute a suit against bis estate.
For the Times & Sentinel.
The Flight of Pam.
I've taken my flight to my Northern home,
The land of my triumphs and lame,
The sunny South has no charms for me,
And hated and scorned is my name.
In old Virginia I found no rest,
’Twas the place of my fir t defeat;
And the trusty knights of lanterns dark,
Were slaughtered in crowds at my feet.
To fair Alabama, in stealth I stole,
And cautiously groped about—
But my Noithcrn taint filled the astmoephere,
And her citizens found me out.
They said they scented my Hartford blood,
And the Blue Laws I made of yore—
And the Puritan sins of my early youth,
Were thought of, and laid at my door.
In North Carolina and Tennessee,
My victory seemed complete ;
As I strove with dark despair at my heart.
To redeem my Virginia defeat.
But my Freesoil platform they would not take.
And proscription they would not stand—
So anoiher disaster came over me there.
And I fell with my secret band.
It seem'd useless to struggle against such odds,
For defeat was always my fate;
But the tempter whispered—strike once more
In Georgia—the Empire State.
In every dark comer my lantern was lit, —
I marshalTd my crew every where, —
But—'twerc needless to tell the fatal result,—
My enemies routed me there!
Then away, away to my Northern home,
The land where I sprang into fame—
The sunny South, has no charms for me,
And disgrace is attached to my namo.
To the land of ismt, I take my flight,
The Southerner curses my name ;
And those that were lured to my Councils dark,
W ill ever remember their sharne.
Eufaula, Oct., 1855.
