MAY 7, 1856. §s£ is((£tan i o n $ e From the Georgia Banner. Georgia Hoysiu Kansas. We have before us a letter from Wm. F Wriolit., Esq. who left our place some few weeks since, in company with others, on a visit to Kansas, from which we are permitted to make the following extract: Y\ est Port, Mo., April 8. * * * * “We left the City of St. Louis, as I wrote you we would, on the same evening .at four o’clock, on the packet James H. Lucas. Nothing of much interest occured on our trip. The country through which we passed was rich and beautiful. — Twenty miles from S-t “Lours vre h-fi ■ the Mis sissippi and came tip the Missouri Kiver This river is very crooked, and although Affording an abundance of water, is difficult of naviga tion, on account of the sand bars and snags. We were from ! nesday 4 o’clock until Satur day 4 o’clock getting to Kansas City. We were under the impression that Kansas City was in the Territory of Kansas. It is locat ed on the South side of Kansas river in the State of Missouri, and you must cross the river before you are in Kansas Territory. D e catne from Kansas City to tin’s place called West Port, about four Miles from the river. Our reason for coming to “est Port was, that we were informed that the Hotel in Kansas City, was an Abolition concern—-aud one might well determine that fact by making a. few observa tions. Although not ipso facto in Kansas Territory from our proximity to it, we feel as though we were. We have been over the line twice, once merely to say that we had been in the Territory, find again to visit the VVyandott Indian Village, two miles above Kansas City Gen. Calhoun, formerly of Illinois, the Survey or General of the Territory, is located at this Tillage, with his corps; quite a clever, gentle manly set of men. This was a very pleasant jaunt, and rather a novel one,as I rode a small Indian pony—the little fellow paced finely— and though small, carried me with perfect ease. A fancy pony here will cost a hundred dollars and freight home. ‘! his is a very Vie! , productive country. — Kansas, I am informed, is richer iltnn Missou ri. While over in Wyandott, Kansas Territo ry, I saw some exceedingly beautiful farms— richer than 1 ever saw before. I learn as we go farther out i the Territory, the lands be come richer. O what little I have seen,l know of no land on earth to compare with it Since I have arrived here I have seen fields of corn, or where corn grew last year, with three and i;i the hill, whfeh excelled out* finest in size. From ten to twenty barrels of corn is usual cropping*. Wheat grows in great abun dance, and every thing else in.like proportion. It, must be the most plentiful country in the world. Farmers get rich in eight or ten years lam now speaking of the b> rder country of Missouri and Kansas. When 1 return from a tc r we are going to lake, (starting to mor row) I can report on Kansas. I here was nothing that we were more agreeably surprised in than the people of this border country. They are well diessed,polite, very refined, rich and intelligent. From this town,West Port, we can see into the Territory walk into it in Dirty- minutes— and here you find a town with a population of near one thousand, tine schools, Churches,, two large, well kept commodious Hotels, Drug Stores, Prv goods, Jewelry and JVlillitavy Establish ments, Barber shops, &c. This place I am ni'ormed does a trade of itself amounting to eight hundred thousand dollars per annum.— it is on the great thoroughfare to Santafee and Sail Lake ( ity. .Several tribes of Indians are paid off their annuities by the General Gov ernment, and they come here to supply them selves with merchandize. Thi re is also a’ hea vy trade carried on between this point and the Mexicans I have seen Indians, Mexicans, Irish, Dutch and border ruffians all mixing, mingling and merrily getting ‘ along togeth er The term ‘border ruffian,’ is aj plied to all citizens on the border of Kansas without any reference to refinement > r any thing else. 1 have seen border ruffians here that would not have disgraced the Court of Queen Victoria. V\ c have met with a cordial reception gen erally since *ve left home, but since getting in to this particular location, it has been special For a man to be known as coming from the South is a license for any Missourian or Kan sas man to recognize him Georgians have been quite source i-n the Territory, and we are made more particularly welcome on that ac count. The citizens here held quite an enthus iastic meeting last night, to welcome the Geor gians. Mys elf and Dr. Bruce, ndd>essed the meeting on the part of Georgia. Were wel comed by a young Virginian who han made Kansas his home. Gen. Whitfield a delegate from Kansas to Congress, was also present, and addressed his constituents and friends in his own peculiar happy way. f here is one thing can be said of Kansas, it is filling up with a more intelligent, well se lected population than any new country I ever knew. I ier position is so remote it, requires nerve and money to reach her soil; and he must be bold and adventurous indeed who undertakes the enterprise. Here we find Vir ginia gentlemen—of the first families of course —Boutli Carolina chivalry—Georgia’s noble sons—Alabama’s best blood; all men, proud, high minded, intelligent, refined—mostly young men, who, either from love of adventure, or prompted by a love of Southern interest, come hither to unite their destinies and share a com mon fate with those Rod and patriotic Missou rians, who have hitherto kept the Frcesoi! packs at bay, and thus preserved the fair soil of Kansas from their foul dominion. We leave this point to mqriow morning for the interior of the 1 erritoiy; our mode of travelling will be a hack drawn by a pair of milk white mules, driven by a Border ruffian,but by the b\e, one if those who owns land in Missouri worth from eighty to ninety dollars per acre. We buy our own provisions—Dr Bruce lias rather vol unteered as cook, or steward; I guess we will do well, fare sumptuously, having two ex-hotel keepers along We shall be out about ten days, when we will come in, as they say out here. Our object in returning is to get letters from home, at Kansas City We then go up the Missouri river to the City (if Leavenworth; we Kill make another tour into the Territory, and then -home again—hutne again from a foreign shore.’ Some of our party speak of remaining in Kansas permanently,! must go home,what my determination is as to making Kansas my final home,! will reveal anon. lam sure were I just setting out in life, that Kansas would be tny home. If I were a farmer I would come to th s country Gen. V\ hitfield, who is a very practical man indetd, assured me on last night that farmers were making from six to eight hundred dollars per hand Negroes (men) hire here from three to four hundred dollars per annum, and sell higher than they do in Georgia,!. V ‘ ~ in tire border country here, ten acres will produce as much as thirty or fifty of our best lands in Georgia. Everything we heard in re lation to the soil, X think will be realized fully r l he climate here is colder than in Georgia; however we have pleasant weather now, and lam informed b.y reliable gentlemen that the winters have been mild heretofore until the last aud here as everywhere else, it was unprece dentedly cold. ‘ * * * [From Life Illustrated.] Death in the Cars. With my hand close pressed to t! at of a friend, I bade him good bye, and sprang upon the platform, as the train wound out of the de pot. Ihe ears were crowded. Every seat was full, and at the first stopping place a large number of new passengers got on and stood up around the stove aud leaned against the seats in the passage way Every window was closed, and the stove glowed’ red with heat The aij* wis .close,oppressi .*e,almost suffocating. The Strong*and nauseating stench of rum and tobacco ‘fusion’ seemed to gather like a vapo ry miasma between us and the dio ly burning lamps We had been dozing, but awoke with a choking sensation. The windows we left raised had been closed by someone afraid of God’s pure air Not wishing to commit the impropriety of letting fresh air in too suddenly upon the fragrant embodiment of personal filth which had lodged upon the other half of our seat, vve climbed over two dirty bundles and three young ones more so, and st ggered out upon the platform. When we returned to our seat, we found that an Irishman and two strap ping boys had been practising ‘squatter sov ereigntyJ upon our robe and seat, and exclud ed us from our territory. Near the middle of the car was an a consumptive from the land of gold going home to die. With a Hasping movement, he 4 <><\ t<-> raise the window, but had - not strength to do so. Promptly putting our hand on the catch, vve lifted the sash as high as it would go Like a child tt irsting for wa ter, lie raised his hat and leaned forward to cat'h a .breath of pure an- which rushed in up on his faded chock. S hank you sir, said he feebly, as he turned his languid eye gratefully upon us. That is so blessed--! was < early fainting IVe can’t have that window up 1 growled an old passenger, v. ho looked as though lie had vitality enough to stand any storm, put it down sir ! Ihe invalid tried to look the boor in the face- The latter, with an oath, sprang up and closed the wiudovv. ‘fine consumptive again drooped and again we raised the window. The old passenger closed it. 1 aking our seat by it we raised it a thiid time and placed our shoulder under the sash. Ihe old passenger stortn-'’:* “‘filially went to the conductor with his complaint The passenger.-, imagin ing themselves freezing, all sided with the weliman. The conductor closed the window and peremptorily forbade us to raise it again, brutally remarking that‘one sick man’s whims should not freeze a whole train to death. Still the wood was crammed into the stove, and the hot putrid air freighted with poison, was inhaled by the passengers. In the meau time the invalid had leaned heavily upon our shoulder, feebly remarking as he did .*o, t at he lmd not far to go 1 only wish to live to see my mother, who will be waiting lor me at the depot. The eats stopped at the station, twenty minutes for refreshments, said the eat ing house runner. Still the invalid did not stir. We thought him asleep, aud did not attempt to awaken him Close uppn the heels of the runner a fine looki g old lady followed, and passed through the car. Shej-eturned and again slowly pass ed vrfiereYve tuff, looking closely air 1 anxious ly as she did so. Hie was evidently disap pointed in the object of her search, and stood hesitatingly in the car door. Were you looking for someone ?we ventur ed to in quire. Oh yes, sir. for my son, whom we expected on this train, from California. But I fear he is sick. Hear is a gentleman asleep on tny arm,’ we reply ed; ‘he is a stranger, and may possibly be the „ono you are looking for.’ She came quickly forward, ancl peered into the face of the sick man. She . turted as though a corp e had met her gaze. A strange, pecu liar feeling thrilled over ns as we watched her couiiten&ce She lilted the hat gently trom the sleeper’s brow, and looked again. ‘No,’ die murmured, ‘it cannot be,’ The sleeper’s arm lay out over the end of the seat, and upon one of the lingers a heavy diamond ring sparkled in the light of the lamp. She saw the gem, and almost convul sively snatched the hand. As she pressed the ring open, she saw her own miniature —her gift to her boy when he went from home. ‘lt’s him! It’s him, Wake up, Howard! You are home again, God be uraised! The carriage waits., But the boy did not. wake, even at the sounds of a mother’s voice As she lifted his head tenderly from our shoulder, he fell forward heavily into our arms. The half closed leaden eye told the tale—lie was dead! The shriek of the mother, as she was made aware of the terrible truth —so full ot heart broken agony—will not be forgotten for many a day. fehe swooned, and fell heavily upon the floor. We carried out the wasted form of the sleep per, and then the insensible mother. Fast and hotly our tears fell as we straightened out the attenuated limbs of the consumptive, for we thought of the mother's bitter waking. The sick one, wandering back, over land and seo, to die at home, did not have far to go His mother was in waiting, but not to see him alive. He was taken to Ins home in a hearse, instead of the family carriage. We thought then, and still think, that with sufficient of pure air, the boyjmght have lived to look noon his mother again, and returned her holy kiss, and died with his weary head pillowed in her arms. He was poisoned in] that foul and heated den! Office LaFayette Kansas Emigrating JtoWy * LaFayette County, Mo., March 25, 1856. To the People of the Southern States : On the undersigned, “LaFayette Emigrat ing Society,” has devolvedlhe important duty of calling the attention of the people of the States, to the absolute necessity of immediate action on their part, in relation to the settle ment of Kansas Territory. The erLi-t is at hand. Prompt and decisive measures must be adopted, or farewell to Southern rights and in dependence The western counties of Missouri have, for the last two years, been heavily taxed, both in money and time, in fighting the battle of the South. LaFayette county alone, has expend ed more than $160,000 in money, and as much or more .in time. Up to this time, the border counties of Missouri have upheld and main tained the rights and interests of the South, in this struggle, unassisted, and not unsuccessful ly. But the Abolitionists, staking their all upon the Kansas issue, and hesitating at no means, fair or foul, are moving Heaven and earth to render that beautiful Territory not only a “Free State,” so called, but a den of negro thieves and “higher law” incendiaries. Missouri, we feel confident, has done her du ty, and will still be found ready and willing to do all she can, fairly and honorably, for the maintamance of the integrity of the South. — But the time has come when she can no longer stand up, single handed, the lone champion of the South, against the myrmidons of the entire North. It requires no great foresight to per ceive that if the higher law men succeed in this crusade, ‘ it will he but the commence ment of a war upon the institutions of the South, which will continue until slavery shall cease to exist in any of the States, or the Union is dissolved liovv then shall these impending evils be avoided ? I'he answer is obvious—settle the Territory with emigrants from the South.— The population of the Territory at this*ti:iu is about equal, as many pro slavery men as Aoli tiouists—but die fanatics have emissaries in a 1 the free States—in almost every village and by misrepresentations and falsehoods, are engaged in collecting money, and enlisting men to tyranize over the Scuth. Is it in the nature of Southern men to submit without re sistance, to look to the North for their laws and institutions ? We do not believe it. If, then, the South is influenced by a spirit of self respect and independence, let Societies be formed to assist cm grants. ‘! hose who can not emigrate can contribute money to as sist those who can. We have such Societies in Missouri, and we can induce more people to emigrate than we are able to support. If die whole South would adopt this system, we would succeed. Kansas would be a slave State, and the slavery agitation would ccuffe. If we per mit the North to make an Abolition State of Kansas, the whole South must submit to be governed by the North. Will the South help us ? The great struggle will come off at the next election ir October, 1856, and unless the South can at that time maintain her ground, all will be lost We repeat it, the crisis has arrived. The time has come for action, bold and determine i action —words will no longer do any good We must have men in Kansas, and that, too, by tens of thousands. A few will not answer. If we should need ten tbous and, and lack one of that number, all will count nothing. Let all, then, who can come, do so at ot.ee. Those who cannot comb, must give their money to help others to come.— There are hundreds of thousands of broad acres of rich land, worth from $5 to S2O per acre, open to settlement, and pre-emption at $1 25 per acre Let, then, the farmer come and bring his slaves with him. There are now ohe thousand slaves in Kansas, whose presence there strengthens our cause. Shall we allow these deli lands, and this beautiful country to be overrun by our Abolition enemies ? We know, of a surety, that they have emissaries and spies in almost every town, village and ci ty in the South, watching our movements, and tampering with our slaves. Let us, then, be vigilant and active in the cause. VVe must maintain our ground The loss of Kansas to the South, will be the death knell of our dear U niou. Missouri has done nobly, thus far, in over coming the thousands who have been sent out by Abolition Aid Societies ; we cannot hold out much longer, unless the whole South will come to the rescue. We need men ; we need money ; send us both, and that quickly. Ho not delay ; come as individuals, come in com panies, come in thousands. Our hearts have been made glad by the late arrival of large companies from South Caio i na and Alabama. They have responded promptly to our call for help. The noble Bu ford is already endeared to our. hearts, we love him : we will fight for him, aud die for him and his companions Who will follow his no ble example ? Be tell you now, and we tell you frankly, that unless you come quickly, and come by thousands, wc are gone he elec tions once lost, are lost forever. Then fare well to our Southern cause, and farewell to our glorious Union. We repeat the cry, “come over and help us.” W. 11. Russki.l, Martin Slaughter, O. Anderson, G. W.

The Montgomery Mail traces the history of the two brothers Fremont , one of whom stands a good chance of gaining the empty honor of the Black, Republican nomination for the Prfe^ J Idency. In the course of its sketch, that pa per says : “If Col. Fremont was not born in Charles* ton, he w'as carried there at a very early age by his mother, and . he certainly received there the education which fitted him for subsequent success and distinction. lie was the protege of the Ladies’ Benevolent Society of Charles ton, some members of which found the in great need, and aided them. Young J. C. Fimn.mt. .was discovered to have talent, and by the interest of these ladies; became the benefi ciary of a charity scholarship in Charleston College. lie was graduated there with dis tinction, having shown (as wc always heard,) decided mathematical talent; Subsequently through the influence already mentioned, Air. Poinsett was induced to get him an appoint ment as a teacher of mathematics on board a national vessel, thence he was transferred to die corps of Topographical Engineers —not very long after married a daughter of Hon; Thomas II Benton, and began his brilliant and rapid rise. Erery one knows his subse quent history. “( 01. Fremont had a brother, Frank, a year or two younger, who went on the stage very early. He was a bluff looking, hearty fellow, seeming very much more like a man destined to military leadership, than his Mother. Fof some little t.me, Frank made a sensation, and got to be called the “Charleston Roscius,” but gradually came to be considered merely a tol erable stock actor Affter lie had been on the ntn-c wine yenrs, ho miirncG —in Knv YurKy as well as we recollect Somewhere about IS3B or ’B9, while playing an engagement in Buffalo, N. Y., he got into flu abolition riot of some kind, aud while fighting gallantly for Southern principles, received a heavy blow oii his head which affected his brain. From this he never recovered—the injury finally settled upon his lungs, and lie died of consumption. “Hecontinued to play, we believe, up to a few days before his death, which we think oc curred in Columbus, Ga., in 1839. At any rate, the writer of this found him there, with some little trouble, as he was playing under an assumed name, having been charged with a message to him by his mother—who, it may bfe remarked, was a quiet, melancholy woman,- greatly devoted to her sons. “It is a little striking, that these two broth ers, born and raised on slave soil, should, by the merest accidents, both have been so nearly ass cted by abolitio; ism, personally. The ouc 1 is knocked on the head, and ‘ done for” by fa naticism, while the other makes a name infa mous which had else been truly famous, by giv ing his influence to the miscreants who wage an unholy war upon thfc institutions of his own section, and of a people who raised him from his lowliness and placed him on the high road to fame and boundless wealth. If he ever thinks of his origin, he must see the depth of an in gratitude almost sublime ” Barnum’s Masterpicec; Barnum has performed many wonders, but the greatest of all is the following: It consists in nothing less than passing down the Niagara cataract in a vessel constructed for this pur pose. The vessel is a ball of gutta pereha, thirty feet in diameter, supported in its inte rior by hoops, rings of steel, and wood.— Strings of gutta pereha, coming from four points of the rings, meet in the centre of the sphere, where they are fixed to a coat of mail made of the same material. This is so fixed that a man buckled in it hangs, supported by the four strings, safe in the middle of the ball. At the lower end of the ball, where the lower part of the mail is directed, some lead is put,, so that swimming in the water the head part will be turned upwards. In this upper part there is a hole which may be opened by the person in the interior. ‘I he ball is so strong as to sustain, without danger, the shock of the fall. On account of its size it cannot sink,nor can the person buckled in the coat of mail suf fer any harm from the violence of the fall. As soon as the ball, after its fall, has found its centre of gravity, its inhabitant unbuckles him self, opens the flap, and gels out of the hold waiving the United States colors under the applause of some 50,000 or 100,000 spectators whom Barnum intends to assemble, ouc dollar each, upon the occasion of his first perfor mance. From every such performance a gain of $20,000 or $30,000 is to be counted on, since from all parts of the Union spectators will flock to the cataract of Niagara. Barnum is about to make an experiment with a dog.— If that animal arrives all right below, a nigger or an Irishman will be engaged for the next ex periment. If that one arrives equally safe, the Yankee undertakes the first serious passage himself. clergyman having on a certain occa sion, delivered himself of what is called a fine address, was met by one of his hearers the next day, when, in the course of conversation allusion was made to it. The parishioner remarked that he had a book contained every word of it, and had heard it before. To this the clergyman boldly answered, that the ad dress was written by himself the week pre vious to its delivery, and therefoie the asser tion could not be correct.
