It is confidently Exptniei of Proucntlng C«ie. in the Court of Claims. We have noticed some suggestions con cerning the expenses of prosecuting cases before the Court of Claims, founded upon the supposition that they would necessarily • be very great. Upon inquiry we learn that these suggestions are founded upon a mis conception as to what these expenses neces sarily are. and what proportion they bear to those of other higher courts. There is no court of so high a grade where the ex penses are less, nor one where the facilities for speedily ending a case are greater. The practice prescribed by the statute and the The Future of Kansas. It is well known to every one at all ac quainted with the past history of our Terri tory, that no intelligence has ever gone from Kansas that could, in anywise, show that the chances are in favor of our people adopting the institutions of a free State. The result of every election that has been held in our Territory, has shown an immense prepon derance in the popular vote for the intro duction and establishment of Southern in stitutions in Kansas. If the question of the introduction or exclusion of slavery into Kansas was left to the people to-nmrrow, we feel sure that it would be decided over- MONDAY, JULY 30. rules of the court i3 of the most simple and ’ whelmingly in favor of slavery. .

On tho vote for the admission of Florida as a slave State, in the House, every Northern Democrat but three voted for it, and every Northern Whig against it; in the Senate, all the negatives (A) were Northern Whigs. In the attempt to apply the Wilmot Proviso, in 1848, to all the ter ritory acquired from Mexico, in the House, twenty-seven Northern Democrats voted against the Proviso, while every Whig vo ted in favor of it, twenty-one Northern Dem ocrats voting with/them. In tho^Sonate, twelve out of fifteen Northern Democratic members voted against the measure, all the Northern Whigs in favor of it. The follow ing is the vote of the House on the Utah Bili; day last.

Taking into account the mortality on board the ships of war and transports, and among the labores of different kinds attached to the armies, of whom there are some thou sands in the Crimea, it may be assumed that from 500,000 to 600,000 men have perished or beeome invalid since the commencement of the war. And yet it cannot be said that there have been many bloody battles, or in deed any lighting on the scale of the gigan tic contests which marked the wars of the French Empire. When operations are con ducted on a larger field we must expect still greater losses, and be prepared for supply ing reinforcements in greater numbers and with greater regularity than has as yet been thought necessary. Just as we Expected.—Every AVhig from the South, at the last session of Congress, who voted against the Kansas and Nebras ka bill, is a member of the Know Nothing or Americau Party. Remember this, peo' pie of Georgia. The only representatives from the South who basely deserted the South in a moment of great trial, are now acting with the Hbow Nothings. AVhat does this mean ? Answer for yourselves. tleman so universally esteemed and respect ed. There can be no doubt that many gallant j AVhigs will be found in Georgia who will I not join the Know Nothings in their mad crusade against civil and religious liberty, i That which is true of Georgia is true of i other States. Among others we may note ( the case of the Hon. R. AA\ AYalker, of Ala-1 bama, the last AVhig candidate for Governor, ' who has openly taken position against the i Know Nothings, and that of James B. Clay, of Kentucky, the son of the great Henry ' Clay, who lately delivered a strong speech against them iu the City of Lexington.— Macon Telegraph. The Largest Steamer Afloat.—Ou the 3d inst., the steamship Persia, the first iron 1 paddle-wheel liner, built for the Cunard or • British and North American Steam Compa ny, was launched from the building yard of j Messrs.

Sue j far exceeds in length, strength, tonnage and steam power the Great Britain or Himalaya, ! and exceeds, also by no less than 1,200 tons | tho internal capacity of the largest of the 1 present Cunard liners. Her chief propor- j tions may be summed up as follows: Length ! from figurehead to taffrail 300 feet; length j in the_ water, 360 feet; breadth of the j hull, 45 feet; breadth over all, 71 feet; ! depth 32 feet.

Last night this distinguished geutleman addressed a very large assemblage of our citizens in a speech of tremendous power.— It has been many a day since we listened to an address from any one upon a politi cal topic, that approached Gov. Cobb's ef fort last night. From the ground up it was a solid as well as a splendid structure. No argument that we have listened to upon the constitutionality ol religion.' exclusion seem ed to produce so deep and salutory an im pression upon an audience, as the* argu ment delivered last night. Gov. Cobb’s ad dress aud style was so conciliating, that we have no doubt that it was a sincere pleas ure to a K. N. to expire under such blows. The members of the order were all around us. and it was a study to mark the various aud characteristic «igns that different indi viduals gave that it was time t<> “cave.” It was, in short, good for us all that we were there to hear the distingueshed sneak er. It was good for Democrats, for we had our confidence brighreued and elevated.— It was good for Stun, for he was satisfied that there was no use in shamming any farther, and that his safety and duty was in coming out from among the wicked. It was with much regret that we perceived the labor and exertion that Gov. Cobb suffered in his effort to speak with his extreme hoarseness. He informed os that his speech last night was his second delivered yes terday. Ou Thursday last lie addressed a mass meeting at Canton. IA'e have had the most cheering news from this meeting. It was estimated that 4,000 people wore out to hear the discussion. The opening speech of one hour was made by Judge Lumpkin, who was replied to by Mr. Lester, of For syth. Gov. Cobb rejoined. After dinner, Air. Milner took the stand for the Know- Nothings, and Mr. Underwood, ot Floyd, closed tho debate. AVe have heard that ev ery gentleman engaged iu the discussion acquitted himself with great credit, &H/the Democrats all went away plea'ed in an es pecial manner. AA r e feel sure that every public discussion is doing the democracy good, and it is working the overthrow of tho “Order.”— AVe feel so well assured of this that we ex' pect to hear that all liberty aud permission to K.

But lot us push 011 the head of our column, wherever it falls against the relics of the old John Adams “alieu and se dition" army—it will force its way Through and over them—“So mote it be.” Tile Conservative Men at Hie .Vorth. Thejj K. J.Vs. intend, cutting loose from the old AVhig and Democratic parties, to ral ly around their organization the conserva tive men of the Union. But unfortunately for the success of their plans, the true men at the North stand opposed to their order, and have in every instance, when called up on to express their opinions concerning it, denounced it in such terms as to preclude the possibility of a coalition. These men, as Democrats, have ever sustained the rights of the South, aud will ever continue to do so ; but if at the same time they required to embrace the odious doctrines of Know Noth- ingism, we need not expect their support. Augustus Dodge, oflowa, the foremost cham pion of the South in all the various politi cal issues which have arisen in the Con gress of the United States, in a speech de livered in the Senate, July 17, 1854, thus delivers his opinions of the new organiza tion : “Mr. President, in speaking on the sub ject of the homestead bill, and the generous and fair provision towards foreigners it con tained, I said I thought those who were not in favor of a repeal of the naturalization laws, or not disposed to favor that contempt- able Native American, or Know Nothing party, should not support the Amendment then pending. I did utter those words. I spoke of the Native Americans thus ; and why did I do so ? I did it because the pro clamation of their principles to the world, and an attempt to enforce them in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ caused its streets ro be raked fore and aft with canister and grape shot, belched forth by cannon. I thus spoke of them, because they had caused American blood to be shed by American hands; becauso they had consigned to con flagration churches erected to the ever-Ji v ing God, and burned them to ashes. I thu spoke of them, and as long as I have a voice will I thus speak of them. I do regard their principles as attempted to be carried out in this country, as a violation of the provis ions of our Constitution, and that religious liberty which Thomas Jefferson and his compeers secured to us, and which I shall ever seek to maintain and defend as long as I have a voice, a vote, or wherewithal to do it.” In perhaps milder terms th8 same oppo sition has been evinced by all his great compeers. AYlierc are the Conservative K. N’s. at the North ? Hard to Bear. The Paris correspondent of Le Progtess, is terribly severe on “Monsieur Bonaparte.” It says, speaking of affairs in the Crimea : “There were in the Crimea two cities—a seat of war and a 6eat of art; Sevastopol and Kertch. The ono terrible and ready for combat, the other charming, and open to hospitality. At Sevastopol, ten thousand pieces of cannon, a fleet, aud a heroic garri son ; at Kertch, a port crowded with mer chantmen, olegant promenades, an old tem ple of Esculapius—women and children. M. Bonaparte has taken Kertch.” A Serious Question. In 1776, the Catholics and Protestants of America met and declared the indepen dence of our country. Through a war of seven years Catholics aud Protestants sus tained the arms of the United States against Great Brittain. In 1787, the Catholics and Protestants of this country, through their delegates, framed a constitution placing the religion of each upon an equal basis. AVill the Protestants of this day violate tho plighted faith of their ancestors ? Dade all Right !—A private letter from Dade county states that many Democrats who were against the nominees of the party at the last election, aro now for Johnson and Lumpkin.

England.—A ministerial crisis had tak en place in England, in consequence of Sir John Russell’s bungling explanation of his conduct at tho A'ienna Conference. On the 16th. Sir Bulwer Lvtton moved in Parliament, that the ministry containing Sir John Russell, was unworthy of the con fidence of the nation.

The discussion of the political subjects of the day, from now to the first of October, must not be discontinued by our friends.— Tbe American people, when suffered to think, will always act rightly. Democracy need have no fears for the result when the issue between itself and Know Nothingism can be brought fairly before the people.— The great danger which wo have to fear is that the doctrines of the new party, sprung so recently npon the people, may have at tracted many by its novelty, and the air of mystery thrown around it; but give them time and opportunity to divest themselves of this feeling, and coolly reflect npon the result of these doctrines, and the triumph of the Democracy will be certain and com plete. AVhat a cruel ceremony was the dressing of that same Queen. A\ T hen Marie Antoinette, in the days of her cumbersome greatness, stood of a morning in the centre of her bed chamber, awaiting, after her bath, her first article of dress, it was presented to her, or rather it was passed over hor royal shoul ders by the ‘dame d’honneur.’ Perhaps, at the moment, a princess of the blood entered the room, (for French Queens both dressed and dined in public,) the right of putting on the primal garment of her majesty immedi ately devolved upon her, but it could not be yielded to her by the ‘dame d’honneur,’ the latter, arresting the chemize de la Reine as it was passing down her royal back, adroit ly whipped it off, and presenting it to the ‘premiere dame,’ that noble lady transferred it to the princess of the blood. Madame Campan had once given it to the Duchess of Orleans, who solemnly taking the same, was on the point of throwing it over the Queen’s head, when a scratching (it was con trary to etiquette to knock) was heard at the door of her room. Thereupon entered the Countess de Provence, and she being nearer the throne than tho Lady of Orleans, the latter mode over her office to the new comer. In the meantime the Queen stood like Venus as to covering, but shaking -*, with cold, for it was mid-winter, and mut tering, “what an odious nuisance !” The Countess de Provence entered on the mission / - which had fallen to her, and this she did so awkwardly, that she entirely demolished a i head dress which had taken three hours to ' build.
