Ti.ere were about 800 , resent, all armed.
Marshal Donalson aud Judge Emore re and the
Pres de n’s February proclamation, also Gov.
shannon's proclamation, and one Usutd by Mr.
Woodson. Secretary of the Territory, together
wth ano efrom Col. Sumner, saving that he
would prevent the meetiug of the Legislature.
They were however unheeded.
Both branches of the Legislature met on
the 4th. The same day Col. Sumner entered
the town with 200 dragoons, and planted two
cannon at the head of Kans is avenue, while
th- roops were drawn np before constitution
al Hall, where the Legislature was assembled.
Col. Sumner told the citizens he would not
disarm them or break up the Convention
hut he had orders to dissolve the Leg.slature,
and would do so.
Col. Saunter repaired to the Hall of
Represtatives and said: “I am called upon to
perform the most painfu duty of my life.—
Uuder the authi rity of the President of the
Un.ted States I am here to dissolve the Leg
is’atarc la accordance with my orders I
command you to disperse, God knows I have
no party feelings in the matter, and I will have
none while 1 hold my present ) ositi< n in Kan
sas. I have just returned from the border
where I have been sending home the Missou
rians. and I am now here with instructions to
disperse the Legislature. I again command
you to disperse ” *
Judge Schuyler asked if they were to under
stand that they were to be driven out at the
poiui of the bayonet
C>!. Sumner replied, I will use the whole
force under my command to enforce m3 or
ders.
l he H oose thed dispersed.
A similar scene was then enacted in the
Senate chamber, ending in the dispersing of
that b dy.

tpoa the adjournment of the Cincin

The principal object in making these collections
is to throw into the doubtful States an immense

policy of the Democratic Party, aud also to assist
in defraying the expenses of speakers that will be
employed during the coming canvass. You will,

wishes for a continuance of his official position,
find it fur his interest to use every effort to

This gentleman died athisresiience in Jasper count}', on
Wednesday uight last, 9th inst., at the mature age of seven*
ty-four. He had been for a long time in impaired health,
and the immediate cause of his death was ossification of
the heart.
He was for many years a leading and distinguished poli
tician in Georgia, and occupied a seat in the United States
Senate from March, U 37, to March, 1843. Since his re
tirement from that high position, he has participated hut
little in the active politics of the country.

New Xork, August 2, 1852.
A certain lady in this city testifies that after using Dr-
M Lane’s \ ermifuge, she passed a tape worm ten inches
long, aud has no hesitation in recommending it to every
person afflicted with worms, as, in her opinion.it far excels
every other remedy now in use. The name of the lady,
and further particulars, can be learned by calling on Mrs.
Hardie, Manhattan Place, or E. L. Theall, Druggist, corner
of Rutger and Monroe Streets.

The committee appointed to draft resolutions in relation
to the death of our much esteemed and worthy M. W. G.
M., Hon. Wit. C. Dawson, who departed this life at his res
idence in Grccnsborough, on the 6th of May last, beg leave
to make the following report:
Whereas? It has pleased the Great Architect of the Uni
verse, in the dispensation of an All-wise Providence, to call
our beloved brother and faithful G. M., Hon. Wm. C. Daw
sou, from the afflictions and sorrows of earth, to the Spirit
laud. Be it therefore
Resolved, That we bow iu humble submission to the kind
hand of Providence, and derive salutary lessons from eve
ry such afflictive dispensation; let it teach us our own frail
ty and the uncertainty of life.
Resolved, That in the death of our Grand Master, Ma
sonry Las lost one of its strongest pillars, the bench an able
Judge, the bar a profound Jurist, society one of its bright
est ornaments, and the widow and orphan a fatherly coun
selor and supporter.
Resolved, That we most heartily sympathise with the
brotherhood of the mystic tie and bereaved family of our
deceased brother.
Resolvc-d, that the furniture and jewe of this Lodge be
clothed in mourning until the next regu a r Communication
of the Grand Lodge.
Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions
be furnished to the Editor of the Empire State for publica

other causes beyond our control, we offer an apology for
the seeming tardiness of our action.

ease which troubled me so long. The Cancer was on my
lace near the left eye, and ithas.by the application of your
medicine, been effectually cured without the use of the

have seen of other cases, that your remedies are the least
painful, and the most effectual in removing Cancer, of any
otiier known in this country. Respectfully yours,

Bor 10 months I became alarmed and consulted several
Physicians, some of whom pronounced it Cancer I tried
various remedies, but all failed to effect a cure I believed
it a Cancer, and hearing of Dr Moseley’s skill in the treat

HOWE 9 *sS
COTTON HARVESTER, FOR PICKING
COTTON IN TliE FIELD.
THIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of
the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable
change iu the method of gathering cotton from the field
It will do the work of from three to live hands in picking
cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma
chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks
the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning-—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra
pidity of its work, “will enable the Planter to prepare his
crop for miuketat mt-ea-ely day, leaving him time for the
improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general
arrangement of the Plantation.
It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a
strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank
turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity c*’ this ma
chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or
der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to

DISCOVERT!
PROFESSOR Wood's Hair Restorative, is, no doubt, the
most wonderful discovery of this age of progress, for it
will restore, permanently, grey hair to itsorigiualcclor, co
ver the head of the bald with a most luxuriant grow th, re
move atonce all dandruff and itching, cure all scrofula and
other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald head, Ac. It will
cure, as if by magic, nervouß or periodical headache, make
the hair soft, glossy and wavy, and preserve the color per
fectly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age.
We could give the testimony of more than one hundred
thousand to the truth of every word w e have written. See
circularand the following :
The following is from a distinguished member es the med
ical profession :
St. Paul, January 1, 1865.
Prof. O. J. Wood—Dear Sir : Unsolicited, I send you this
certificate : After being nearly bald for a long time, and
havingtried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no
faith in any, I was induced on hearing oi’ jours, to give it
a trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber, and bad
my head rubbed w r ith a good stiff brush, and the lestorative
then applied, and well nibbed in, till the scalp was a glow.
This I rrpeated every morniDg, and in three weeks the
young haie appeared, and grew rapidly from August last,
till the pi'sent time, and is now’ thick, black and strong—
soft and pleasant to the touch ; whereas, liefore it was harsh
and wiry, what little there was of it, aud that little was dis
appearing very rapidly. I still use your restorative about
twice a week, and shall soon have a good and peifect crop
of hair. Now if I had read of these tilings, and who has
not ? but have not seen hitherto any case where any per
son's hair was really benefited by any of the hair tonics,’
&c., of the day, and it really gives me pleasure to record
the result of my experience. I have recommended your
preparation to others, and it already has a large and gen
eral sale throughout the Territory. The people here know
its effects,and have confidence in it. The supply you sent
us, as wholesale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhaust
ed, and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit
foryour discovery ; and I, for one, return you my tlianka
for the benefit it has done me, for I certainly bad despaired
long ago of ever effecting any such result*
Yours hastily, J W BOND
Firm of Bond & Kellog. Druggist,St. Paul
We annex a few certificates to corroborate our assertions:
Carlisle, 111., June 27, 1853.
I have used Prof. O J Wood’s hair restorative, and have
admired its wonderful effect My hair was becoming, as I
thought, permanently grey, but by the use of the restora
tive, it has resumed its original color, and I have no dcub

Prof Wood—Dear Sir : Having made trial of your Hah;
Restorative, it gives me pleasure to say, that its effect has
been excellent in removing inflamation, dandruff, and a
constant tendencyto itching, with which I have been trou
bled from my childhood ; and has also restored my half,
which was becoming grey, to its original color I have used
