ATLANTA, APRIL 3, 1856.
The Supreme Court.
It seems we were misinformed as to the time
expected to be occupied by the Supreme Court
now in session in our city, ha\c sine.,
learned that the business of the term will prob
ably be concluded this week. Judge Mellon
aid, we notice, is absent, from illness, we pre
sume.
Pantomime.
We are informed that a small company of
deaf mutes will give au entertainment .at the
At heme urn on Thursday evening, consisting of
pantomime performances, which will no doubt
prove interesting, since these unfortunate gen
tlemen are represented as being expert in the
art. Tfiose who attend will have the satisfac
tion, both of witnessing the excellent perform
ance, and the reflection of having contributed
cheer to the. needy and unfortunate.
Astronomical.
This evening, (April 2d) tho planet Mars,
after an interval of twenty-five months, comes
-again in opposition to the sun, and attains its
•extreme approximation to the earth. Itwil]
be discovered rising in the east, as the sun sets,
and may be seen before the rays of the latter
entirely disappear. For several evenings past,
when, not obscured by clouds, it has been con
spicuous, a little above the Southeastern hori
zon.
Small Pox—-A Lie.
'We were surprised to hear that the impres
sion had gone abroad Chat we have had several
cases of Small Pox in our City. The report is
utterly false. We have taken particular pains
to look into the matter, and have it from good
authority that neither the disease itself, nor
anything approximating to it, is known to our
physicians,
Our Streete.
Our city fathers come down upon the projec
ting sign posts, and down come the posts.
Many of citizens are seriously inconvenience by
the ordinance, but we don t know but the man
ifcst improvement to Whitehall St., compensates
for the tax of extra signs. The practice was a
bad one, no doubt, but it seems to us if our city
council would lower their range of vision a lit
tle they might detect subjects of reform under
foot more imperatively demanding their atten.
Lion than the signs, which obstructed their star
gazing. When are we to see steps taken which
will enable our people to take steps, across the
crossings, when the weather is cross-grained .

Ho For Kansas!
We neglected to mention yesterday, as we
intended, that Wm. Wright, Esq., a prominent
member of the Newnan Bar, with several young
gentlemen of that place passed through cur city
on Wednesday night last, en route for Kansas.
They go upon their “ own hook,” to look at
the country and examine into the State of aQaii 3
there. From our personal acquaintance with
the parties we can promise. "itr readers reliable
information from that section when they report
the result ot tboir observations. A private
•bout.” with a few nbolitioMsts would add a
very desirable spice to the adventures <d these
gentlemen. J f they get hold ot them, notwith
standing they go with peaceable intentions, we
shall hear some "shrieks for fteedom from
that quarter, of a rather different tone from any
*ve have heard yet.
We wish the little party a pleasant trip and
all possible success on their mission.
All Fool’s Day.
We are glad to see the absurd practices ol
thia day were but little regarded yesterday by
our young folks, and the amount oi lolly yclept
joking which marked the advent of the lirst day
of April was so meagre that hopes are enter
tained tho ridiculous farces attempted upon its
annual recurrence will bo abandoned by every
sensible community. The amounto! lying (not
extenuated because practical in jest) usually
perpetrated annually upon that day scorns to
begin to be regarded as dishonorable, an esti
tion in which it has not heretofore been held ,
and our young men begin to feel that, a lie,
told even in jest, attaches to it a moral turpi
tude inconsistent with the tru dignity oi a
high-toned gentleman.
We ca.:’t help it, but we have always enter
tained a disgust for the observance ol "Ail
Fool’s Day,” and it is to us a source ot unal
loyed pleasure to announce one Fool's Day,
without any fools. Can any ol our sister cities
boast as much t
The American Flag.
Don't i»o alarmed, dear reader, we have no
disposition to inflict upon your patience a rhap
sody upon the “mighty rag." We simply de
sire an allusion to u practice which, in our
hujnble judgment, reflects but little credit upon
the esteem in which the “rag” aforesaid is held
by our people. That every American eitizer,
whether native or adopted, is entitled to all the
advantages that can possibly accrue to them
under the stars and stripes is a proposition we
have no desire to question, but that every per
igrinating humbug shuold eseon se itself behind
its folds is n desecration that should excite 11 e
indignation of every patriotic citizen. The prac
tice. it seems to us. is daily becoming more gene
ral, and we think it high time the universal dis
approbation it excites should begin to find voice
through the press.
It was only last week we noticed a desecra
tion of the national colons that ran the practice
to an extreme which had well nigh caused the
decease of a friend of ours from a “burst of
indignation.” “Look there" said he. clutching
our atm convulsively, "do you see them fags'!

SmalfPox.
Why is it that the bare mention of this dis '
ease excites people so foolishy ? There seems
to us no sense nr reason in it. The disease it ■
I is true, is a loathesome one and, when improper,
ly managed, is. rm doubt, dangerous, but we
believe, we have no instances in Georgia of its
eluding the prudential measures of town corpor
ations, and if we mi- take not, has seldom been
known to spread over a whole community. We
hear of it in Gwinnett und Hall comities, and
so far we can learn there are no indications of
it in any othersectiom of the State, though it
is reported to rage in LaGrange, in Lincoln
county and elsewhere, and two cases of measles
transported hither from Chattanooga, where it
is reported to exist, have so excited many ot
, our own citizens that they almost imagine they
are victims of the terrible gourge themselves.—
We verily believe if it handful of fleim were
scatter®, in Whitehall, St., our Doctor Shops
couldn’t contain one half the small pox patients
that would crowd to them within half an hour.
This is all wrong. There is not the remotest
danger of Small I’ox in our oily, while it
may be well enough to watch trains from the
suspected quarters, it is sheer folly to give way
! to such unfounded alarm.
There is no Stjiall Pox in LaGrange. none
, on the line of tho Georgia or Macon Roads, and
i none in communication direct enough with us
i to excite any apprehension of its transportation
I here. If it is really prevailing in Chattanooga,
. it s confined to localities, beyond which eflfec
• tad guards are placed to prevent its spread.—

it can possibly approach ns.
Otir LaGrange friends were "powerfully #ex
ercised” over what they believed to fie two
cases of Small Pox, in their midst, which turn
ed out to be Measles,’when investigated, ami
' though they have not discontinued their gaurd
3 over the locality of the disease, the council ex
.’ press their belief that no small pox is known in
the p ace, the physicians of the city having cor.
suited with Dr. Boswell of Columbus over the
r
oases and pronounced them unmistakably mea
sles. Taking all things together, we don’t see
where we are to get tho disease from, unless
. some of our citizens go itelibtialely to work
- and bring it. here, from t o remote points where
; it prevails, and even then, with a little extra
i care, its spread may be effectually checked
3 within twenty-four hours.
; We shall, us a public journalist, give prompt
jr information of the existeace of the disease in

1 excite themselves about the raw head and bloo

Montgomery—-Its Ladies—lts Editors.
It is with no disposition to pay our Alabama
■ Sister an ambiguous compliment that we char
acterize Montgomery a ••fast" place; oti the
contrary, we would apply the go-ahead term .:>
its business, and to everyt' iug else that gives it
I enviable prominence amongst its Southern sis
ters. 11 is true we know little of it, exciept
thro' its press, but that wc take to be a pre tty fair
representative ol its spirit, and forming our es
timate upon it, we have to regret there is so
little interchange f goodwill between Mont
gomery and Atlanta—we think our practical
community might be improved, somewhat, by
the infusion pf a little of the fast spirit of our
Montgomery friends, Notwithstanding we de
serve our reputation as a moving people, we
cannot, but envy our not less busy Montgomery
friends, some of their everlasting good humor,
not to speak of the good eating and drinking
which their editors are eoutiuua.ly flaunting in
our faces. This “wild hunt” of ours after the
almighty dollar, which absorbs everything like
sociability, grows tiresome sometimes, notwith
standing its exciting character, am] we cun' l
help looking longingly over the time and wish
iug ourself with our Alabama neighbors.
Instead ot the petty undercutting and jealous
stiarlings which characterize the press here, in
Montgomery, they have a good time amongst
themselves from one year’s end to another, and j

Mr. Fillmore’s Conscienoe.
A man's conscience we seldom allow ourself
lo make u subject of private reflection, and I
don’t remember < ver before to have made an ■
object of public criticism ; but the eternal harp- ,
ing of the opposition press upon Mr. Fillmore's t
conscientiousness brings it, we think, within the >
legitimate scope of public comment. In our ’
judgment, the Fillmore pi esses would have done (
better to allow their candidate's conscience some
little rest, uud have committed an error in
bringing it into the canvass which they will re
gret Il it does no more, it certainly argues
that their Stock of political capital is small
when they are reduced lo the strait of dragging
Mr. Fillmore's conscience into tho arena ot pol
itics -the idea of mixing such a commodity
with their polities is certainly new to them,
•and may be found a dangerous experiment.—
But, admitting for Mr. Fillmore’s conscience
all that they claim for it, and we are still at a
loss to sec why he is more capable, on that ac
count, for the office to which they wish to ele
vate hint. Suppose he were this moment iu
the presidential chair, the Boqth would have
little guarantee for her coiistitutional rights but
Mr. Fillmore’s ooiaoigoeei-rather a frail de
fence. we take it. His conscience may he all
right enough, and might compel him to resp ect
his oath to support the Constitution, but the
South wants a man who bus a greater regard
for her than One who will only give
her the protection wrung reiucxaptly from him
by the warnlngz of his conscience not to violate
his oath. She wants a man. wil|> pppscience,
it is true, but not alone with that —she must
i have QiUi fearless and bold, ready at any moment
to maintain the supremacy of tb.e constitution,
without having to be driven to the work by tljg
laStiugs ol his conscience.
Men's consciences differ too, as there educa
tion is different. One man’s conscience may
lean one way, and his neighbor’s another. We
have no doubt the fanatical Henry Ward Beech

hilatio.i of the “ Border Ruffians,” ond eensci

would find the advocacy of his elevation to the
presidency upon the score of conscience, rather
an uphill tyujjipess 1 Seward, Hale, Garrison
and the whole abolition crev, to Mad
Abby Kelly may be conscientious in their an
ti-slavery opinions, but we apprehend the South
feels little security from their conscientiousness
• —nor can she be made to by Mr. Fillmore's.—
I Shy will ask for something more—she will de
-1 min'd that when the Blapk Repuijlieuns Bpjieul
j to his conscience, educated as U !>*» ta*)! in
I the same school as their owp, that s'® have
some security that that conscience .will not die
; late her degradation. Northern consciences
• »re poor securities for Southern rights, and if
| the latter depended upon the former we would
| certainly lie in a despvraio situation. One
shriek for frcedoni ” from the fanatical devo
| tees of Abolitionism would pierce tl;e sympa
thising ours of Mr. Fillmore, and rouse
’ the very conscience, now so much lauded,
to the work of Southern degradation;
and then where would be the apology of South
j ern mon who voted for him “for conscience
sake?” Unless it were a better one, the less we
have of .Mr. FHmore’a conscience, the better it
will lie for the South, and we don’t lipsitato
. to say that we would raiher see him President
without tinjf conscience at nil, than with his
present one -we would feel more security from
the lii’le interest he might naturally have in
making hi* administration a pure one, than we
. would if even that interest were subservient to
copgeience of such questionable sort.

for any other purpose, an unmitigated falsehood.
It will not, we hope, be considered improper
lor us in this connection to say, as neighbors

Okkuox News.— The Indians have commit
ted serious depredations at the month of Rogue
rivet. On the 23d of February a descent was
made upou the farmers about four miles above
the mouth of the river by the savages, led by a
Canadian Indian named Enos, and a general
massacre took place. About twenty-four per
sons were killed, the names of whom will be
found in the details of the news published on its
receipt. Among the killed is Captain Ben.
Wright. sub-Jndian agent. The inhabitants of
Crescent City are taking measure, to fortify
the town, in anticipation of an attack, and some
of them have arrived in flight to this city. A
Mrs. Gcisell and daughter were taken prisoners
at Rogue river, and are yet in tho hands of the
Indians. The fort or frock-house erected by
the settlers at the mouth of Rogue river is still
in the bands of the whites; they have about
twelve days' provisions. On Puget Sound a I
battle has been fought between a party of
friendly Indians headed by Pat Cainon, a i
friendly chief, aud the warriors of the Clicketat'
t rilie; a large number of be latter were slain. I
A SLIGHT MISTAKE BY A BANK OFFICER.—In i

Bissextile or Leap Year.
The present year; 1856, most ofour juvi-nih
readers understand, is styled bissextile or leap
year. Some of them also understand by the
term that the number 1856 can be divided by
4 without leaving a remainder; for, I is con
tained just 464 times in 1856. Therefore, sav
they, tlie month of February has 20 days ; and
with almost the same degree of reason they al
so say, therefore ladies can with propriety make
the first advance to gentlemen, and enjoy th<
privilege, for twelve months, to select their
mates or husbands. They farther say that, it is
the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fif
ty six. meaning thereby it is so many years ex
atciy since tho advent or birth ol our Lord Je
sus Christ.
All these ideas may be correct. It is our
purpose to institute a brief investigation ot
these points ; aud like tho noble Bereaus of
Scripture, learn whether they be so. And we
do this for the edification and benefit of our
younger readers, presuming that their elders
need no enlightenment from our efforts. To
introduce our subject, we will premise that the
present method of computing time has not al
ways been in vogue ; nor is it now universally
in use.
So long as twenty-five centuries ago, er near
ly seven hundred years before Christ, Numa
Pompilius a celebrated philosopher of Rome,
and who was likewise a Roman sovereign, im
proved the Roman calender or almanac. The
first day of every month was called the culend;
and front that tfie days were reckoned back
wards. The first day of May, for instance; b>
ing the ealend of May, the thirtieth day of
April was styled the day before the ealend of
May ; the twenty ninth day was culled the sec
ond day before the ealend, and so on to the
eighteenth day before. The eighteenth was
natphd the ides: and tito ninth day preceding
the ides was called the hopes, whlc), 'means, in
tlje Latin, the ninth. Nnina reckoned 31 days
each to March, Rpy, July at)d October,mu! to
the balance 29 days each, except to February,
which had 28 day's, aud the Macedonian month
which tyss iptg.calatefi every two years, with
22—23. This arrangement rather (}is|m'uted
the ides and the nones, and made sad work iu
the monthly and daily calculations.
Well, during the reign of Julius Casar, that
accomplished scholar and general undertook to
regulate the calender; for, the reckoning had
become so abtruse that th- year 46 B. C was
signalized as “ the your of confusion ;” uud it
was nigfie tq pqpsist of 4a5 days to equalize
matters- He was aided by Sosigenes, an Esryp
f tian mathematician of celebrity. It was at this
time, 45 B- C„ that the additional day was in
’ troduced to every fourth year, without exc. p
-1 tion. Their year commenced with March, and
• ended with February, which latter month an
ciently contained 29 days three years out of
I four, and 30 days every fourth year. As
amended, it was known as the Julian' calender.
From that period, every fourth year consisted
i of 666 days, and every other year of 365 days.
. About that date too, their fifth month, then
known by the name of Quintillis or Fifth, was
first called July, in honor of Julius Ctesar.—
zkml in the reign of Augustus Casar, the sixth
I month, then called Saxtiliis or Sixth, and con
i tftMl’g only thirty days, while July containing
thirty-one,' was first named August. Poor
February, which was made up of the odds and
■ ends of time and used to taper off tue tail end
i of the year, as well as already deficient in its
f numerical complement, was stripped of a day,
■ to make the month of Augustus equal in leugt'h
' to that of Julius. “To him that hath Shall be
■ given. 4c." It was robbing Peter to pay
- Pu'd
for the word We have seen
s that the Cißsareun operation was literally |>er
formed on the cold, shivering and destitute
> month of February, the Procustean period of
; the Roman year. It is said that the 24th day
_ of that month was the sixth or sextile’s Jay
from the ealend of A/arch, and that here the
* additionul day was intercalated < r interposed,
s thereby virtually making both the 24th and
i the 25th days, the sixth day from the ealend
} of March. And as the word bis means twice.
m Latiu, and sextiles means sixth, ire hence
have bis-sextile, or the s : xth day preceding
» the ealend, named or reckoned twice in so -
) cession. Thus, the 24th and 25th February
, are in one sense deemed only one day, viz: sex
m tiles or the sixth of the ealend of March. To
illustrate this point in another way. August
’ was once called sextile’s or the sixth month.—
Then, was February the bis-sextiles, (twice
six) or the twelfth month. As tho operation
wag performed on February, quite as good rea
. son appears for thus naming the leap year from
. this circumstance. Further, as a day was ta
ken from one month to increase another, and
as a rib was abstracted from man originally,
to insert in the frame work of woman; if on
, the first, we predicate a right even- fourth
f year to make restitution of that borrowed day.
• why are not the ladies not entitled to the exe'r
| cise of a similar right, in the other case, one.
in fopr years pt least, to volunteer to man the
restitution of that borrowed rib, by presenting
themselves in [>erson as helpmates? Thus, we
perceive that an appeal to analogy rather sus
tains the inference drawn by many as to the
nature of leap year. But, when we . come to
examine 1856, It labors under the suspicion of
not accurately counting the number of years
since the advent or birth of Christ; and. there
fore, can scarcely be considered, par excel
lence, the annus Domini, in Latin, or vear of
our Lord, in English. One of the Christian
fathers, Tertullian, Le Clerc, and Cardinal
Norris were satisfied that Christ was crucified
in the year 29. Archbishop Usher, the accu
rate and standard chronologi>-.t, confirms this
statement by affirming that the Christian Era
dates it commencement four years later than
the real birth year of the Saviour Hence, we
infer that the present 1856 is in reality the
year of our Lord 1860; in other words, that
1860 years have elapsed since the advent or the
beginning qf the Christian Era. Why not'
treat this case as February was treated? Whv i
not call next year 1861, aud represent the fae’ j
as it is? Our Christ chronology is now per -!
fietuating a falsehood. That is not a
ample. s
,Rf CMJuectton with the preceding, wo wi l
remark that our calender is derived front the
Roman. As they reckon by calends ides and
nones, their year may be summed tip in the fol
lowing lines :
“March, May, July, October do contain
Sir none*, the r«»t but four. Each month <!o»a
claim
Eight ide* ; next alter these, tb.e calends conn-.
Which always to the following month belong.” ’
Our readers may also remember that Julius
Cicsar is said to have been assassinated ou the
ides of March, nineteen httndr.d vearsago last
Saturday, at the age nf fifty-six? the
expression,
“Remember March: the ides of March remember!
Did not the great Julius bleed, &c.”
Here we will rest our crude historical sketch
of the meaning and derivation, of bissextile vrar.
that the matter may not be tediously long for
perusal. At another time, a brie.' coutinuation
of the subject, touching it cause and obit-ct.
may be expected.— Bo-ton Post.

within and even without the Territory of Kan ;
sas. without mingled feelings of disappointment, j
wonder, indignation, derision, and contempt,
until finally nil otke-emotions give way to a]
sense of the ludicrous with its belittling influen- ■
ees. The aet creating the Territories of Kan- i
sas ;<nd Nebraska seems to have met tho same
tale (save in the time of its accomplishment) as j
the act creating the iiidepeudent-treasuiy system. |
Both nets were assailed with every weapon,
which party ingenuity could forge; both were
p.i-sed after a severe struggle, ami in the face
ol a reckless and unscrupulous opposition ; bot.i
found in the ranks of its opponents many who
were recognized as leading and influential mem
bets o! the democratic party ; and both have
been so intelligently rea<|, discussed, and appre
ciated. that the great priuciples which they im
body are now regarded from one extremity of
the Union to. the other as part and parcel of
the democratic faith. The ouce si-ri ied ranks
of the opposition now present a divided front;'
the uaveritig have become firm; the neutrals
are now zealous propagandists in the cause of
popular sovereignty; enemies 'nave become
friends; and those who bore tb.e heat and bur
den of the day now revert, to the fierce and pro
• tractcd struggle which preceded the inauguration
. of a great and an enduring principle as scarred
veterans revert to the passages of some memo
rable battle brilliaur tfom urn >uh»r it illus

, .Mast sincerely do we wish that the course of
! public events in Kansas had corresponded wit!,
, the enlightened progress es the public mind
| without' but the best us causes, ns well tw the;
soundest of principles, may for a time be placed
in imminent jeopardy by human agency. The
treas< n of Arnold did not affect, in the slight
i est degree, the principle of “no taxation with-
I out representation ;" and we are yet to learn
; how the principle qf popular soeertguty i* to be
. damaged by jl,o hmd siieeulating delinquencies
• of Mr. Rreder on the one hand, or tfie scria
. comic performances at Topeka on the other.—
; We will not detain the reader by even briefly
recounting the natural difficulties encountered
. by ex-Governor Reeder, or the extraordiny
1 difficulties made by that extraordinary gentle-
- man and bequeathed to his successor.' Neither
f will we stop to institute a comparison between
s the past and present condition of affairs in Kan
. sa< and Nebraska, to show tho operaHous of a
1 great principle put in force by good sense, sound
. patriotism, and official integrity, and the same
i great principle made a mischief und u reproach
> by misrule and misconduct—by selfishness and
- overweening tunbition within, an : bydemr.gog
i ism aud fanaticism without. Our present pur
pose is to direct public attention to a new
r i phase in the affairs of Kansas—to a marked
r and decided softening of the “shriek” from
1 the now almost exhausted lungs of the "friends
I of freedom.”
s We need not, inform our readers that a very
, considerable number of the people permanently
ii nr temporarily residing in Kansas affix'* to be
e guided in their political actions bribe tagher
;■ law principle. With them the’ high La
conics not from the territorial or the feu I
I government. They conceive that it is man
and executed by the New Engbnfi Emigrant
e Aid Society. The inconvenience of the fedr
f al and territorial laws and the troublesome in
r tegrity of the offieers now charged with their
y execution have long been felt by this society,
s In spite of meetings, appeals, paper bat tics. a»d
I, imaginary accounts of frightful outrages by
) the “border ruffians,” the society could got no
1 further in the programme than “shrieks for
L freedom” and lusty cal!-; for Sfie.rp's rifles.—
e Something mus* be donp.'and done, quickly,
j or else fanalicism wonld burn out for the lack
-of draught and fuel. The leading members met
.- —in which of the Now England towns or cities
we are not informed—and after due cousulta-
> tion they concocted a scheme which would do
t credit to the inmate of an idiot or lunatio ;:sy-
- lum. The executive, judicial, and h .'is’ative
» branches of the teritorial government must be
i got rid of by one short, sharpe blow, and Gon-
- gross und the President of tb.e United Stat.-s
i treated as “outside barbarians.” ' Accordingly,
. a special edict went forth from th? higher law
j source in New luigland. An election was held
. in Kansas, officers chosen, and an indepeneent,
i irresponsible government was created (on pa
per) within the jurisdiction of .a legal, respon-
. sible government. Nor did the farce stop here.
. Men of weak nerves and disordered intellects,
calling themselves governors, lieutengnt-ffav-
• eruors. members of a istatc legislature, sccrc
; taries, clerks, and sergjuts-at-arms, met at a
; place called Topeka, and insisted, with the per
sistent gravity of lunacy, thut they were in re
ality what they professed to be in uamc, and
> that althongh their new State was without
’ citizens, without m ney, without the forpi es
; law; aud had sprung into full and perfect exist
ence, not by the will of Congress, but by the
will of the New England Emigrant Aid So
ciety, they were still governors, lieutenant-gov
ernors, members of the legislature, and other
high official dignitaries of the Commonwealth
of Kansas. The play must be played out.—
The two branches of this nondescript legislature
met and organiz'd after the most approved
form. The goveuor. anxious to destroy the
mythical character with which his high office
h. d previously been invested, actually sent a
column message to the co-ordinate branch of
his government of a recommendatory and sug
gestive nature, liberally interspersed with views
j on fedreral relations worthy of the clegui.ec of
i John F. Hale and the profundity of Henry
j Wilson. The message"was received, read, dex
; terously cut up. aud handed over to the stan
ding committees, in large or small slices, accor
ding to their respective digestive capacities.—
To dispel all illusion and illusion as to the real
und tangible character of the new State—to
give it federal substance arid a federal name—
the legislature proceeded to the election of two
; United Stites senators On the first ballot
ex -Governor Reeder and Col. Lane were s fee
ted to represent the sovereignty of Topeka in
the highest deliberative body in the world.—
Whether the Topeka legislature, anticipating
the result of the pending contested election case
in the House, have sought to transfer Mr. Ree
di r to another and a higher, we are not pre
pared to say ; but certain it is, that honors from
such a source could not have been bestowed
upon a more deserving recipient.
Great was the gratification of the abolition j
ists throughout the land. The "Topeka cor- j
respondence" suddenly became the leading sea- i
tore of the abolition journals. The New York ’
Times, with its cits omary enterprise, secured I
without a day's delay the services of a special j
reporter to chronicle tb.e proceedings of the!
• Topeka Solons. The Tribune exulted over |
thesncctss of the New England experiment of!
j manufacturing tt State out of a handful of fa-1
! natices until ita “moral bnllvisni” threatened ■
• annihilation. Bev Henry Ward Beecher read i
i the message of the new governor and called
I for more Sharpe's rifles. A spirit of generous
rivalry sprang up between the mild and gen
tie spoken Hale, the impetuous Summer, the
refin'd Wade. au<l the chivalrous Wilson, its
| to who should have the honor o f presenting:
the credentials of Messrs. Roeder and Lane, I
; Tei'.eka's newly elected senators. With tills;
■ stat of feeling in the abolition mind, aid with
I these pleasing struggles and anticipations on
the part of the chosen aud cherished leaders of
. oboiitionisra and know nothiugism. the reader'
may imagin ', for we will not attempt to de
scribe, the frightful reaction which has taken i
place since the pub!icatin:i ot the following i
doeumeut, which is nothing less than a seoond
message from his Exceileticy the governor of
Topeka to the k.isLture of that vic'nage :
• Gentlsmen: As there appears to be a diff
erence of opinion in regard to the right of law
making by the general assembly, and also in ;
regal d eo the construction "o be put upon my l
communication upon this subject to your hoi- i
I orahle bodies on the 4th instant, it is proper
for me to state tlmt the message of the 4th
was Intend' d lo recommend no course to be
taken in opposition to the general govern
ment or to the territorial government. While
to shad remain with the sanction of Congress,
cillision with either is to be avoided.
"That the people of a Territory have a right
to peaceably assemble aud memorialize Con
gress or the President, and toadopta constitu- j
tion and organize a State Government, and ap-,
point such official agents and do such c.ther •
acts as are indispensable to the uetkn of a .
State, esjiecially to its action as a member of
i the Union, prior to its admission, thereisno
do bt, provided the proceedings are in strict
• subordination to tho existing federal govern
; meat and in subserviency to the power of Con
gress. To this extent a people may go in con
formity to law. and for thia there can be no

“C. ROBINSON.”
Those who have read the abolition accounts
of “Kansas outrages,” and believe that we
were ou the eve of a civil war, should now
take courage. Mr. Robinson tells us, in so
many words, that when he and his associates
talked anil noted very much like traitors, they
were »nly iu fun; that his Topeka legislature
is nothing more than a Moot Court, and he the
presdent thereof, and that the powers, duties,
und functions of a body which has just elected
two United States senators, are co-equal with
those of :i debating society. Instead of waging
; war. levying contributions, imposing taxes, dis"
peusing justice, establishing schools, and doing
other acts befitting a sovereign and indepen
dent State, the executive, judicial, and legisla
tive branches of the government at Topeka
have concluded to restrict their labors to mem
orializing—a harmless employment ut the
worst, and not likely to he pushefi, even by
fanatics, to an extreme length while the price
nf stationary remains at its present high figure.

PEACE CONGRESS.
The Conferences reported progress, and in
dication are favorable. Prussia has been in
vited to take part, and Manteeuffel goes as
plenipotentiary.
All accounts agree that peace is certain. It
is generally rumored that a treaty of peace
w.iuld be signed on Saturday. All differences,
however, are not yet adjusted, respecting the
Danubiau principalities and Asiatic frontier.—
There is u rumored arrangement that these
difficulties will be left to a commission on the
spot.
Additional by the
11 is said that orderg have been sent to the
' British Baltic squadron not to engage in hostil*
ities.
The Austrian army has been further reduced
A despatch from Berlin says that Count
Orloff made known at St. Petersburg that
the fifth point wag arranged and peace was as
sured.
it was said that Prussia had been invited to
take a part in the Conference, and that Baron
Mantufeli would act. as first, and the Prussian
Minister in Paris its the second Plenipotentia
ry. Her admission was said to have been bas
ed on the ground that the discussion respecting
the Treaty of 1841, by which the Dardanelles
was closed to ships of war, was to begin forth
with. Lord Palmerston, however, refused in
the British House ol Commons, to answer Mr.,
D'lsraeli whether Pinssia Jiad been invited, or
whether Italian affairs woultj occOpy the atten
tion of tb,e Conference. '
Mount Veiinon not fob Sale.—The follow
ing letter, says the Spartan, addressed by the
owner, John A. Washington, to Mrs. M. S.
M’oflord, of our village, brings out the start
ling fact, after all that has been done by the
ladies of the South, and the greater labor aud
means they are still willing to bestow upon the
movement that Mount Vernon is not for sale.
How is this? What is the explanation? At
the instance of the Ltulios’ Mount Vernon
Association of Richmond, Edward Everett de
livered his great oration on Washington in the
capital of Virginia, realizing for tho funds of
the organizatiou over SBOO, and it is to be re
peated at varioui points in Virginia and else
where, for the same purpose. In addition,
stimulated by the advent of Everett in the Old
Dum nion, the Legislature of Virginia passed a
bill incorporating the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association of the Union; aud yet patriotic
ladies, ready and able to stimulate the sacred
purpose, arc told “that Mount Vernon is not
for sale.”
Mount Vernon, March 1 Itli, 1856.

Madam —1 have received your letter of March
6th, respecting the purchase of Mount Vernop ;

JOHN A. WASHINGTON t
Arki.'T of Captain Adams at Norfolk.—
The Norfolk News states that on Sunday Col
lector Sawyer received a despatch from Secre
tary -Varcy' directing him to have J. G. Ad
ams, captain of the American ship John Cum
mings. arrested on the charge of having fired
upon and killed one of the crew of his vessel,
some eighteen months since, while taking in a
load of guano at the Chinca Islands. The oc
currence, it will be remembered,produced deep
excitement at the time in Peru, und Captain
Adams narrowly escaped with his life by the
prompt and firm interposition of the American
authorities at Calloa. His vessel bad to be
accompuni- d to sea by the U. S. frigate Inde
pendence, for the pnrjwse of security. It is
understood that the Peruvian Government has
complained to our Government in relation to
the alleged offence, and has made it a national
questien. Uapt. Adams has been arrested, as
requested by Mr. Marcy, and held in §5,000

How Mr. Fillmore responded after inn
initiation.—The Albany (New York) Eve
ning Journal says that the ex-President was
initiated into the Know Nothing order in his
private library, and it was so stated at the time.
The Journal adds : “ The brother who confer
red the degrees and imposed the obligations in
Mr. F.’s library concluded the ceremony by
saying, ‘This will make you President of the
United'States ;’ to which Mr. Fillmore respond
ed, •! sincerely hope so.’”— Exchange.
This will doubtless be incorporated into the
ceremonies of know-nothings in initiating new
members. Tito new-made lantemite will be as
sured, “ This will make you constable, police
man, city attorney, sheriff, or associate justice,”
os the case may be. The'know nothing will
reply, “I sincerely hope-O”— N. O. Courier.
Tme Bogus Leoislaturetn Kansas.—The
St. Louis Republican of Friday morning last
says:
“A paragraph appears in the Independence
Despatch of the 13th, stating that the troops
had marched from Fort Ijeavenworth, by order
of Gov. Shannon, to Topeka, and dispersed the
bogus legislature in session there. We have
information from Kansas of quite as late a date,
aud are satisfied that the rumor is without foun
dation That warrants will be issued against
the tnock legislature, and that they will be arres
ted. is very probable; but the occasion is not
likely .to arise when troeps will be necessary
to check the operations of the pretenders. The
courts will dispose of them quite as effectively
as the military.”
A Sensible Freak of Fashion.—Lute hours
have so long been the besetting sin of all balls,
parties, Ac., in fashionable life, that it is quite
refreshing to find an effort made to effect a
change. A practice has just been introduced
in New York which is decidedly an effort at
reform. It is, to say specifically upon the card
of invitation that the‘pleasure of the guest's
company is desired from seven to eleven o'clock,
p. m. At ten minutes after eleven the music
plays good night, and the hostess takei her
place to pay the parting compliments to her
visitors. The fashionable hours have been from
ten to two, and the reform simply takes three
hours from the latter part of the entertainment
and places them in the fore-part.
