A New. Map of Pennsplvamia.
In a, short time a new Geological ana Topo
graphical map of this State will be publish
ed by Charles Desilver, No. 619 Market
street, Philadelphia. It will be constructed
on a scale of eight miles to an inch, and will
represent, as well as the size will permit,
the geological , and topographical features of
the commonwealth. It is a work which has
cost a great amount of labor in its prepara
tion.
In Mineral wealth, Pennsylvania occupies
the first rank in the Union. Her seemingly
inexhaustible and truly invaluable treasures
are being developed and made to serve man's
tise—yet the public mind is only awakening
to a sense of the true value of her riches.—
The forthcoming map promises to show, at a
glance, from whence is derived the immense
amount of coal and iron which has made this
a famous state—beside other valuable geolog
ical information.
Our own "Broad Top" which, within the
last few years has engaged the attention of
scientific men and others, and which is now
sending weekly its thousands of tons of coal
to the eastern markets, will, we suppose, re
ceive its due position on the chart. Being ac
quainted. with the author of the map, and
well knowing his research, industry and abil
ity, we feel assured that it will be a work of
great merit, and. we do npt hesitate to recom
mend it to the inspection, patronage and
study of the people of this commonwealth.
The editors of Black Republican prints

SUDDEN DEITH.—On Friday 10th inst. Mr.
JOSEPH AKE, aged about 65 years, died very
suddenly at his residence near Williams

of the oldest citizens of the neighborhood,
and a worthy man.

burg, Blair county, is about to be put in op
eration by Messrs. J. SEWELL STEWART of
Huntingdon and HUGE( MCNEAL of Holli

a profitable one under the management of
the proprietors.
What is said of the Fusion.
The Harrisburg correspondent of the Phil
adelphia News, (an opposition paper) does
not approve of the transfer of the Americans
over to the Black Republicans. In his letter
of Tuesday 7th, amongst other things, he
says:
"The real aim of the Republicans is to
whip the Americans into their ranks and
keep them there. As Greely says: The
American party is a log in the path of the
Republicans, and must be got out of the
way.' The best mode of getting the log out
of the way, is, according to Thaddeus Stevens
& Co., to split it to pieces. For this reason
this bastard union, concocted last week, is
the ingenious trickery by which the Ameri
can sentiment in the Union Convention was
completely buried beneath the Republican
element, when it was piled upon it by the
sudden fusion of the two bodies. Having
now got the gullible portion of the American
party by the neck, it will be-an easy matter
to throttle them and stifle their power for
further mischief, as these whippers imagine.
11S1.. A religious paper of New York—the
Observer—says it is supposed that Dr. Cheev
er, the clergyman who - has been reviling the
Supreme Court for many Sundays past, is
insane, and his behaviour and sermons cer
tainly do much to confirm that belief. Per
haps it would be charitable to consider
Beecher, Tyng, Kalloch, Parker, and the
whole of that • class insane also, for if we
refuse to do that, we are compelled by their
acts to acknowledge that they , lave sold
themselves to the devil, which is worse.—
These fellows are doing the cause of religion
more harm than half the pious ministers of
the United States can rectify during their
lives. If Heaven is open to Such men as they
are, common sinners need have no fear.
SAD WARNING TO "FAST" YOUNG MEN.-
John, Miller, aged twenty-eight years,.- died
at Indianapolis on Friday night. The .Tour
luxl gives a brief history of his sad case.—
He was born in Dayton, Ohio—was left an
orphan with a large estate, and to his own
guidance—became a "fast young man," and
rapidly spent a fortune which - was counted
by tens of thousands. He kept a circle of
dashing young fellows about him, until his
money was gone, who then deserted and left
him. He sought Indianapolis for a home,
-and there, in some menial capacity, lived for
a - time and died in a strange garret, friend
less and alone.
,gam- By a dispatch from Harrisburg, we
learn that the bill for the sale of the Main
Line, was ordered to a third reading in the
House, on Monday, which is in effect, the
passage of the bill.•
TEEE $l2O FORFEITED.
William Brewster admits that the charges he
made against us i and which he called High
Heaven to *illness as the truth, ARE 'ALSE!
Our readers will excuse us for again refer
ring to that "investigation" and the false and
cowardly conduct of Wm: Brewster: We
shall be as brief as possible, knowhig full
well that those who have watched the progz
ress of the discussion can have but one opin
ion, and that is, that Brewster acted the part
of a VILE CALUMNIATOR when he attempted to
injure our ''eharacter as Post Master, and as
editor and publisher of the Globe, by the
publication of all those charges against us
which he said he could prove, and for the
truth of which he appealed to Mon BEAVEN!
First, then, it will be remembered that in
the Journal dated January 21, 1857, William
Brewster appears over his name with more
than a column of falsehoods—the coinage of
a madman's brain—written, as he said, "in
the presence of the Great Judge," and which
he "positively knew to be TRUE."
What were those assertions and charges?
—" That the Journal was invariably sent to
the Post Office the evening before the Globe
was struck off.—That the issuing of the order
on P. M. at Coffee Run was official rascality,
and damning evidence of our crime of not
merely detaining or delaying newspapers in
the Huntingdon Post Office, but -of taking
them out of other offices and suppressing
them !—That the papers suppressed were the
Journals, and that the deed was perpetrated
by us on the day before the Presidential elec
tion !—That the order on P. M. at Coffee Run
was for the purpose of suppressing the Jour
nals issued on Monday previous to the Presi
dential election"—and a number of other
charges of little or no importance.
On the 22d January, the day after Wm.
Brewster published the above charges, - we
proposed to him an investigation of them be
fore a committee, agreeing to pay said com
mittee $l2O, and also the costs of witnesses,
should they report that the evidence sustain- I
ed the charges, and requiring Brewster to pay I
said amounts should the committee declare
the charges unsustained. Brewster at first
declined to accept our proposition, but was
finally compelled by his friends to come up
to the work, and he did accept in the follow
ing words : (See Journal of January 28.)
"I will accept your proposition if you will
make it IN all the well-founded char
ges lam willing to sustain against you as
Post Master up to this date. Do this and I
will promptly take you at your offer." We
replied to the above proposition of Brewster,
withoutknowing or caring what other charges
he might make to be " included," in the fol
lowing words ; "Name your charges and I
will undoubtedly accept." In, the Journal
of the same date, and immediately following
our answer, Brewster says : " Lewis having
thus agreed to INCLUDE in the proposed inves
tigation, all the well founded charges I make
against him as Post Master on condition that
I name the charges, I will of course comply
with the condition in proper form and with
out necessary delay."
On the 2nd February we received from
Brewster three charges to be included in the
investigation, and supposed that all that was
necessary for a full investigation of the charg
es he first made, and those to be "included,"
was the naming by him of the majority of
the committee and the day of meeting.
On the —th March, Wm. Brewster request
ed us to deposit in the Bank $l2O to cover the
expenses of said committee. We did so,
with instructions to pay the same to the com
mittee after fully investigating the charges,
if forfeited. Brewster was then requested
to cover our money, with the same amount,
which he did. But Brewster has failed as
yet to announce that portion of the Commit
.
tee our agreement requires him to do. Nor
has he, as yet, named the day for the meet
ing of the committee ; although it is well
known that he did summon, secretly, several
gentlemen to meet in Huntingdon to act as
his committee-men, and that said gentlemen
came to Huntingdon for that purpose. But
the general opinion is, that they got sick
of Brewster's case, and advised - him to back
out, and save his money, if possible.
Brewster has BACKED OUT—he now re
fuses to investigate the first charges, as well
as those we agreed should be " included!"—
His $l2O are out of his fingers—the commit
tee only can lift it—and if Brewster declines
to proceed with the investigation as the pro
positions of both parties require him to do,
he forfeits the $l2O, and those of the commit
tee we have named will lift the money.
What half-witted fool has been Brewster's
legal adviser ?
After the " investigation" is dtsposed of,
we will talk about an investigation before a
legal tribunal. The most we could do before
a legal tribunal would be to convict Brewster
of libel. Not having sustained any damage
we could not recover any. The people are
the jury, and their decision will be perfectly
satisfactory to us.
VirA Frenchman recently wrote a book
on the United States of America. Among
the facts he gives the following: "The
thirteen stripes on our flag are the thirteen
present States of the confederation, and the
thirty-one stars, the States it is expected will
be added! The Governor of the United
States is chosen ever,y two years! Pennsyl
vania is a large town in Philadelphia, and the
Chief Admiral and the Commander-in-Chief
are one and the same person!" After this,
the Dickenses, the Trollopes and the Marry
ads,. may hide their dimiLished heads, we
think.
From the Chatnbersburg Valley Spirit
Runaway School Gixish
Precocious school girls, who like their
"Shanghai" beaux better than their books,
and run away from the latter in order to en
joy the luxury of billing anti cooing with
the former, owe a great deal to the Know
Nothing Party. Formerly it was the prac
tice to condemn as silly the conduct of pupils
who quit school without the permission of
their parents or guardians, but now we have
a party in our country which seems to have
been formed for the purpose, among others,
of encouraging unruly school girls to run
away from the institutions to which they are
sent to be educated. This party would do a
great favor to the institutions from which
1 they encourage these desertions, if they went
no further than to induce the giddy girls to
leave. But they do not stop here. Know
ing that the business in which they are en
gaged, however beneficial it may be to the
morals of the institution is rather a disrepu
table one, they feel the.necessity of offering
some defence. Their defence usually con
sists of allegations derogatory to the charac
ter and habits of persons connected with the
institutions as teachers. Miss BUNSLEY, who
bruised her feet and tore. her trowsers run
ning away from Emmittsburg a year or two
ago, did so, as the Know Nothing newspapers
informed us, to get rid of the annoying ad
vances of some man in the institution. But
she changed her name so soon after her ro
mantic adventure, that we are led to think it
was not so much to escape a man within the
institution as to get at one without it, that she
scaled the fearful heights of a five feet fence,
all bristling with stakes and riders, and
bounded through the pathless woods to the
nearest tavern on the turnpike, without a
friendly arm or a protecting hoop around her.
Miss BUNKLEY'S exploit has been imitated
lately by a Miss MILLER, who has created
quite a furor in Know Nothing circles, by
running away from a Catholic institution in
Nelson county, Ky. In her letter—for of
course she has written and published one—
she says she left the school pecause she was
"repeatedly confined: in„a room two, three
and. once five days at , a tine, deprived pf her
allowance of food, for no other reason than
that of refusing to; go to confession." The
Know Nothing papers'-are making the most
of This silly girl's elopement, but we hardly
think they will get enough capital out of it
to carry them safely through the next cam
paign. It is a common thing for vicious and
ungovernable -apprentices to run away from
good masters, and by no means uncommon
for intractable pupils, both male and female,
to unjustifiably absent themselves from good
and well-governed institutions of learning.
As Miss MILLER'S story has been publish
ed all over the country, we think : it no more
than right to publish the account of tail affair
given by the lady who has principal charge
of the institution from which Miss M. fled.
We have no doubt that the facts are as stated
by the Superior.
NAZARETH, March 13th, 1857.
MEsses. EDITORS:-A friend has sent me
the Louisville Journal of the 12th inst., in
which is an article headed—" Exposition, of
Ronan Catholic Persecution of a Protestant
Scholar at Nazareth." I shall forbear ma
king any comment on the editorial remarks
preceding the insertion of a letter purporting
to have been written by Miss Mary Miller,
who on the 16th of February, at 8 o'clock,
P. M., left our institution and proceeded to
Mount Washington, where she has since re
mained. She states in this letter, that the
reason of her leaving the Academy was, that
the Sisters endeavored to force her to the prac
tice of the religious observances of the Cath
olic Church, especially confession, and kept
her confined for several days, depriving her
of her allowance of food, because she would
not go to confession. This assertion is utter
ly false, as can be attested by all our pupils,
both Catholic and Protestant. Miss Miller
was never known to join the Catholic pupils
in any of their especial devotional exercises;
and it is well known to every one in the house
that no effort, either„, by word or act, was
made to induce, much less to force her
thoughts.
This young lady was placed here in Janu
ary, 1856, by Mr. Wm. Miller, her half-broth
er, who said. he feared we would be unable
to keep her, as she was of an unruly disposi
tion ; but he begged that we should make the
effort. Finding, upon trial, said young lady
by no means inclined to study, and as her
brother had assured us, of an unruly disposi
tion, we wrote to him requesting him to come
for her or remove her from the Academy.—
The first letter havin* been unnoticed by him,
other letters were written him; yet he neither
wrote nor came; nor did he, after her entrance
(when he paid to the treasurer the sum of
$75) give anything towards the defraying of
her expenses.
On the very day that Miss Miller left the
institution, when, according to her statement,
she was kept all day in close confinement,
she took a walk with the young ladies as far
as the toll-gate house; and during the even
ing recreation she was with them. She said,
at the close of the recreations, to two who
were near her, " Good night! I am. going to
the infirmatory to stay to-night, as the Sister
told me to come, that she would give me some
medicine." They laughed at the idea of her
taking medicine, as she was in perfect health.
In the walk to which I referred, Miss Miller
remarked to a person who was walking by
her side, that, if her brother did not come for
her, she would run off. The individual thought
nothing of this at the time, being accustomed
to hear Miss Miller use exaggerations in
speech.
It is well known to all our pupils that Miss
Miller was not confined or punished by depri
vations of food, and that no one ever concern
ed herself in any way about her religious
persuasion or practice. We are convinced
that our numerous pupils of the Prbtestant
churches, who are at present under our care,
or who have returned to their homes, after
even years' sojourn with us, can bear ample
testimony to the fact that neither persuasion
nor caermon is ever used to induce them to
change their religious principles • nor do we
presume that the public in general will do us
the injustice to believe that we have pursued
or do pursue a course so opposed to the dic
tates of common sense as well as religion ;
but I deem it due to truth to state that the
assertions respecting punishments having
been used or means employed to. force Miss
Miller to embrace or practice the Catholic
religion, are entirely and absolutely fan.—
We are not disposed even to think that her
adopting Catholic doctrines or practices would
be at all of benefit to the Church, whatever
such a course might prove to herself.
In a short time after Miss Miller's depart
ure she was missed and search made for her,
but without effect, till our overseer finally
overtook her the next day, as he states, be
tween 11 and 12 o'clock beyond Mount Wash
ington. He conducted her to the tavern
there. On his return, I immediately wrote a
letter to Dr. - Mattingly, requesting hijn to go
to her, authorizing him to take her to Bards
town, and thence send her to Nashville on
the stage. He was kind enough to start im
mediately, and promised Miss Miller that he
would himself accompany her, if she desired
it, to Nashville. But she refused to come
with him to town. He, on leaving her, ad
vised her to reflect on what he had said to
her, and told her if she choose to come to
Bardstown, when the stage passed, that his
house would be open to her, and he would
attend to her departure for Nashville, and
even as he had previously promised, accom-.
pany her there himself.
My object in sending for her was by no
means to have her re-enter the school, but
merely to send her in a becoming manner to
the place whence she came. Her trunk I
sent on the morning of the 17th inst., to the
Mansion House, in Bardstown, directed to
Nashville.
Instead of preventing Miss Miller from in
forming her friends of her condition, as she
states, I strongly urged upon her to write to
an uncle who, she said, resided near Nash
ville, to come for her. And I myself wrote
to another gentleman residing in Nashville,
that she named as being her uncle, and in
whose family she had lived, as she said.—
My first letter being unanswered, I wrote
again to the same gentleman after her leav
ing, stating the manner of her departure,
and subsequent facts. To this letter he re
plied (my first not having been received) that
he had never heard. of her, nor had she ever
resided in his family.
Hoping that you will give an early inser
tion to this simple statement of facts,
I am respectfully yours,
FRANCES GARDINER,
Mother. Superior.
The Higher-Law Doctrine.
At a blaek-republican ward meeting in New
York, to consider the action of the Supreme
Court in the Dred Scott case, a resolution was
passed containing the following sentiment:
" We further proclaim that there is a pow
er higher than the Supreme Court—the great
heart of the people—which can limit the pow
er of unjust judges, and render their most
obnoxious decisions, however bolstered and
sustained by power in high places, as chaff
on the threshing-floor."
The St. Louis Leader, commenting on the
above, remarks with great force:
"This doctrine is either the most danger
ous revolutionary radicalism, inconsistent with
the peaceful existence of any government, or
it is a piece of weak declamation, , the sub
stance of which is a truism. Under a gov
ernment of law the decision of the supreme
tribunal is a law until it be reversed, and
when reversed it is no longer the decision of
the Supreme Court. To say that the great
heart of the people' is higher than the Su
preme Court, means, however, if it means
anything, that popularfreling is higher than
judicial decisions and can override them.—
This is laying all private rights at the feet of
popular impulse, and implies the erection of
a perfect tyranny in this country. No coun
try is worth living in in which.the lam is not
supreme, for in no other have individual rights
any defence against the passions of a popu
lace, and the arts of designing demagogues.
"Is there, then, . nothing higher than the
Supreme Court ? Yes, reason, and the con
stitution, and the word of God, are all higher.
But of the constitution the Supreme Court is
the interpreter. Of reason there is no other
interpreter but the consent of all men, and
all ages, which is practically impossible to
collect. Of the word of God, since the dog
ma of an infallible church must not be pre
sumed, we know not where to look for a judge
capable of reversing a decision of the Supreme
Court, on the ground that it conflicts with
that Word. Our conclusion is that the deci
sion must stand, and that those who resist it
do so at their own peril."
Resignation of a United States Judge.
The lion. W. W. Drummond, one of the
justices of the supreme court of Utah terri
tory, has forwarded his resignation to Wash
ington. lie thus sets forth his reasons for
resigning:
In the first place, Brigham Young, the
governor of Utah territory, is the acknowl
edged head of the "Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints," commonly called
" Mormons," and as such head the Mormons
look to him, and to him alone, for the law by
which they are to be governed, therefore no
law of Congress is by them considered bind
ing in any manner.
Secondly: I know that there is a secret
oath-bound organization among all the male
members of the church, and to acknowledge
no law save the law of the "holy priesthood,"
which comes to the people through Brigham
Young, direct from God, he, Young, being
the vicegerent of God and prophetic succes
sor of Joseph Smith, who was the founder of
this blind and treasonable organization.
Thirdly: I am fully aware that there is a
set of men set apart by special order of the
church to take both the lives and property - of
persons who may question the authority of
the church, (the names of whom I will prompt
ly make known at a future time.)
Fourthly: That the records, papers, &c., of
the Supreme Court have been destroyed by
order of the church, with the direct knowl
edge and approbation of Governor B. Young,
and the federal officers grossly insulted for
presuming to raise a single question about
the treasonable act.
Fifthly : That the federal officers of the
territory are constantly insulted, harassed and
annoyed by the Mormons, and for these in
sults there is no redress.
Sixthly : That the federal officers are daily
compelled to 14ar the form of the American
government traduced, the chief executives of
the nation, both living and dead, slandered
and abused from the masses, as well as from
all the leading members of the church, in the
most vulgar, loathsome and wicked manner
that the evil passions of man can possibly
conceive. -
The N.alloch Trial.
The great adultery trial at Boston, in
which the Rev. stump orator and disunionist,
J. S. Kalloch was defendant, has terminated
by the Jury not being able to agree. The
woman whose reputation was brought into
question was a Mrs. Steen, and although six
of the jury from the first, opposed a convic
tion on the ground that the offence "had not
been clearly proved" and two others subse
quently joined them; the general impression
founded on the evidence, is that a clearer
case of guilt, in a case of the kind, could not
be made out. The evidence was as direct
and positi'vo as possible, and it was not im
peached in any material part. As to this a
correspondent of the New York. Tribune,
says:
'Apart from the direct testimony to the
adulterous- intercourse, the strongest point
against Mr. Kalloch is, that after his lecture
was over, he went back to the hotel in East
Cambridge, and. spent an hour in the bed
room with Mr. Steens's wife. He asserts
that he did so because he was exhausted by
the fatigue of lecturing and needed rest.
But the Rev. Mr. Holland, of East Cam
bridge testifies that Mr. Kalloch did not ap
pear at all fatigued after that lecture, and
that he excused himself from going to Mr.
Holland's house on the plea that he was anx
ious to get home as soon as possible. After
that, to get into his carriage and ride to a
hotel, and stay there an hour with another
man's wife, when he was but twenty min
utes' ride from his own house in Boston, is
certainly a very suspicious circumstance."
The trial however is over and the Rever
end gentleman, is now at large again, where
with experience be will have a chance to im
prove his morals. The Boston Journal fur
nishes the conclusion of the trial as follows:
"The court came in this morning at 9 o'-
clock, and the court room was well filled
with spectators anxious to hear the result of
the deliberation 4 . the jury. The crowd,
however, was not large as it would have
been, had there been any expectation of a
verdict being reached.
Immediately on assuming the bench Judge
Sanger directed that the Jury should be
brought down.to the Court room, and they
came in looking somewhat care-worn and
weary, but still determined on their individu
al opinion's.. They had been out twenty-one
hours.
Judge—lt is of the utmost importance,
gentlemen, to the public and to the defend
ant that you agree upon a verdict, but in do
ing so you must do so conscientiously and in
accordance with your duty—and you say
there is no hope of this ?
Foreman—There can be no chance of
agreement.
Judge—Mr. Officer! You may take the pa
pers from the Jury.
This was then done, and thus terminated
the trial which has so long occupied the pub
lic mind.
It is now understood that the 4,iry on their
first ballot, yesterday afternoon, were equally
divided, standing six for conviction and six
for acquittal.
Messrs. Hyde of Lowell, Gouch of Water
town, and Staples of Cambridge, were the
strong advocates of an acquittal, on the first
discussions in the Jury room, and these, with
Messrs. Rockwood and Spooner of Ashland,
and Kingman of Reading, made up the six
who *ere for an acquittal on the first ballot.
Mr. Tuttle of Lowell, subsequently joined
their views, and afterwards the foreman, Mr.
Russel of Lexington came to the same view.
This makes the - eight whc, from that time, 9
o'clock last evening, - were of the opinion the
offence was not clearly proved.
The other four, Messrs. Messinger of Cam
bridge, Hastings of Farzningliam, Hutchin
son and Nichols of Charlestown, were for
conviction and so remained throughout.
Throughout the morning, until the dis
charge of the Jury, Mr. Kalloch and his
counsel, Mr. Dana, were in Court, and went
out together, and with Mr. Steen. The case
will probably never reach another trial.
Tun LATE DR. NORCROSS.—An uncle of
Mr. Norcross, .the young man murdered at
Altoona, and for which Maim is now arrest
ed, gives some very interesting facts, which
we copy from the Bloomsburg Democrat. He
states that the parents of the young man,
although of high respectability, are in very.
moderate circumstances, and were so at the
time the son, Norcross, departed for his Wes
tern tour. At the date of that departure,
great commotion existed in his family, and
among his friends, for his demeanor had won
universal favor, and they were loth to part
with one so universally esteemed. His two
sisters were school teachers in East Lexington
and helped to support the family. When
their brother expressed his intention of going
West, they - gave him all the money they had
been able to save, by a long course of labor.
He received ~,;500 from each, and bid his
home farewell.
At Dunleith, so well did young Norcross
improve his opportunities, that in his short
stay he obtained no less than $3,500 in money,
and the two bonds for $BOO each. But an
abcess in the side troubled him, and lie deter
mined to return home to give some account
of his success, and restore to his kind sisters
their earnings. He wrote home just before
leaving Dunleith, to this effect: "I have found
a friend (McKim) who is to be my traveling
companion homeward and whom I believe to
be a friend indeed. He dresses my wound
and attends me like a kind brother." When
the murder was committed, near Altoona,
it was about eight o'clock in. the morning.—
After being struck, the victim did not instant
ly die, but until noon reposed in his bloOd,
with the thermometer 12° below zero.
MORE TRACES OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S
PARTY.—Capt. Sherard Osborne has forward
ed to the editor of the Times the following
extract of a letter, dated Red River Settle
ment, Hudson. Bay Territory, December 6th:
"I have just returned from —, who was
at Norway House last July, and saw the
man who brought an express to Sir George
Simpson from Mr. Anderson, in McKenzie's
River, ( district,) stating that Indians had
brought over reports to one of the trading
points in that quarter that the Indians had
seen two or more encampments of whites on
an island on some point where Anderson
and Stewart turned back, in 1855, and that
one of the encampments particularly, was
quite fresh, supposed to have been abandon
ed a day or two before the Indians seen it,

HAPPINESS DEFixF.D.—A lady Informs a Boston editor
that having a good constitution, she can bear a great deal

viction as to what is:"
"Mr. Win. Lewis:--
I propose to you that affidavits of witnesses taken before
an Alderman or Justice of the Peace, by either party, after
eight days notice, shall be read as evidence before the Com
mittee—also, that letters from the Post Office Department
at Washington, may be read as evidence of the construc
tion of laws relating to Post Office matters. I propose
this, because we have no way to compel witnesses to attend,
and there are witnesses living at a distance, whose testimo
ny I need. You will say whether or not you accept this
offer. Wm. Barwszsa."

Kansas.
The St. Louis I?epublican estimates the
number of persons that have passed through
that city on their way to Kansas this spring
at seventy thousand. Of course some of
them went to attend the land sales and with
no intention of remaining. That paper says
that nine-tenths of the number were from the
free States. Now, in view of these facts, it
may be asked, of what possible use can it be
for the Pro-slavery men of that. territory to
frame a pro-slavery constitution, and ask
that it be admitted as slave State. It is the
general belief that the Free State men were
largely in the majority last year. Add to
this the vast influx of people from the free-
States this year and hereafter, and what
chances are there for the permanent existence
of slavery in Kansas? None whatever.
But the Abolitionists must have something
to agitate about, so they tell the Free State
men to stay away from the polls, and let it
come in as a slave state. • Meantime Jim Lane.
has gone to Kansas again to get up more'
difficulties for the Republicans to shriek about
during the election campaigns in several of
the Northern States. Ile has made one speech
at Lawrence. It was expected that an attempt
would be made to arrest him on old charges,
and then his friends would rescue him and
a war would be begun at once.
We must expect some such events for the
next month or two. Republican capital is
running low, and a new supply of horrors
must be manufactured. We shall probably
soon hear of new nominations in Kansas. -
