the partner of Mc-
Crea, who killed Clark, had been absent some
time in obedience to an order from the people
of that city, but returned the other day. and
Was siezeti and locked up, and threatened with
tar and feathers first and death afterwards, un
less he left forever. Upon his peremptory
and positive. refusal to - do so, he was yesterday
taken to Weston, MO. ' stripped, tarred and
feathered, his face blacked, and rode upon a
rail through the principal streets.
I am glad to say for the people of Weston.,
that they did not sanction this course, and had
no participation in it.
An eye-witness told me that Philips was
-calm and firm through all this ordeal, and still
declared that he would live in Leavenworth
until it suited him to leave: He positively
denied having given the pistol to M'Crea to
shoot Clark. lie said he was no abolitionist,
but afreesoiler; that he was in favor of Kansas
beittw" a free state, and would vote to make it
so. Be he abolitionist or not, one thing is cer
tain, and that is, .be is a remarkably resolute
man. .1 do not pretend to be able to form a
conclu.ion as to how these proceedings will
terminnte.
The election for those precincts in which
the first election is declared void, is to take
place on the '2•2d instant—neat Tuesday. It
creates no excitement—indeed it is not men
tioned, It will pass quietly by, go as it may.:
At the meeting.of the legislature, those who
were first elected, as well as those who will
now get their certificates, will present them
selves and claim seats, and the legislature will
•decide.who are entitled. We may Corm some
idea how that will -go. I. will, hoivever, be
among them taking notes.
Yours,
Such is the •legitimate fruit of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
and yet the dough-face papers of the
north have the impudence to assert
that thees outrages are owing to the
wicked agitators in the free States; but
the papers that talk such twaddle, are

I noticed in your paper (of which I
am a constant reader) a query in sub
stance as follows : "Can water be
heated red hot ?" It has been stat e d
by good authority, and is generally
believed, that water cannot be heated
to a temperature above -212' Fahr.,
tinder ordinary atmospheric pressure;
but " according to recent experiments
on the cohesion of liquids, by Mr.
Donny, * of Ghent, it appears that
when water is forced from all admix-
ture of air, its temperature can be
raised even under ordinary atmos
pheric pressure, to 275° Fahr., so
much does the cohesion of its mole.
cules increase when they are nt.t,
separated by particles of air."
The Great Geyser in Iceland is to
refutation afforded by Nature of the
usual belief on this point. According
to observations made in 184 G by Bun
sen and Desclozeaux, the water at the
surface is about 212°.Fhr. above the
• boiling point.' Bonsen also'states
that under pret.wre- water may be
beaten red hot ; and by die agency cf
this hot water, he explains very beau
tifully some phenomena of volcanic
action. • OBSERVER.
