ST. Ikana, Jan. 25, 1858.
NO winter yet. Weather mild and pleasant. We had a
delightful April shower on Saturday night. finebsess
le
extremely dull—the unseasonable weather unsettling every
department of trade. The rivers remain unchanged, and
not ankh of any kitid'of produce Is arriving. Receipts are
very light. We now quote our wholesale market for Flour
at $3 50@$4 25; Wheat 72@95c; Corn Zelic ; Oats 37(i038c;
Barley 65c; Pork $l2 50@51.3 per bbl.; Lard 1 1 /I@7%c ;
Whiskey 15e; Bides 9%. There is not much doing in
Hogs—s 4, $4 25, $4 50 and $4 75 are about the ruling
rates. The number cut at this point; the present season,
is 95,000 head; at Louisville, Kentucky, 215,000, and at
Cincinnati 365,000 head.
Notwithstanding
the unseasonable weather, our city,
maintains her usual good health; there were but 55 inter
ments In the different cemetries during the past ieek.—
Fifty-five deaths out of a population 0f150,000 souls, speaks
well for St. Louis.
The Printers' Ball and Banquet came off on Monday
night last.—some 600 citizens participated, and the whole
proved to be the most brilliant affair of the season.
The negro, who some time since killed his wife and moth
er-in-law, in this city, was tried lent week, sod convicted
of murder in the first degree. Mr. Hannegan, formerly of
Indiana, but now located in this city, made one of the
greatest efforts ever made in our Criminal Court, on behalf
of the defendant. Mr. li. hie made himself very popular,
and we predict for him a successful future.

sumed that he will not touch Plug Uglylem.

editor of the Boston Bann, of high!, delivered a lecture
here yesterday (Sunday) Oil Spiritualism.
Miss Charlotte Cushman, the world renowned actress,
Is playing an engagement at Wood's Theatre. She attracts
nightly large and fanhiouahle audiences.
The fire-bells have kept op almost a constant giugling
for the past two or three days. No serloun damage, how
ever, has been done. On Thursday night the tobacco man
ufactory of Kirkham A: Bro., wee consumed—loss about
$12,000, insured for $.1,0110. We have now In active opera
tion in this city, three steam fire engines, and from what
we ran understand, they work admirably.
There have been two or throe murders ceiumitted In
our city since the date of our last letter. A man In the
lower part of town killed his wife, and a day or two since
two officers went to n hose on Franklin avenue, kept by J.
W. Tysack, to levy upon his goods and eh:Odes, when some
difficulty arose, and the deputy erinstnble, named Meek,
shot Tysack through the heart killing him Instantly.—
Meek gavo Inineelf up, stood an exernination, and was
acquitted on a plea of `• self defence "—the evidence in the
cane substantixtinx the foots. Of tote, our pollee and other
officers. robed in n little brief authority, have boon using
their weapons most t a u freely, mid they will keep on until
ram or two are made to dense H highland fling on a tight
rope, It has only teem a week or two since one Bennett, n
policeman, shot Anil killed n inan. Mellow he ran off to
serape arrant. Baesett WWI acquitted—we suppose In "self
delerice"—no the victim was running away from the offi•
cer at the time. This " official authority" ix a great thing.
There have been several others killed in different parts of
the eity, mine of limn no doubt [nitrite] ed. others by acci
dent.

the North ri attend to their own Imiines,—tho people of
Runny. are 110 i porllll !I CO to interfere or meddle in the pol

folly of allowing the politicians of other States to control
and govern them. This Is as it should be, and a strict
adherence to this principle will result greatly to the benefit,
comfort and happiness of the peopleof Kansas, whose rights
and privileges have already been too long trampled upon
by the Black ilepubllcans of the New England States. It
the itopuhlirau party is tro stronger in the North than it
is in Kansas, we pity the poor politicians living on the
hope of office In the future. Admit Kansas some time
during the present session of Congress—with or without
slavery—under the Lecutupton, the Topeka or any other
Oonstitution—admit her with no Constitution at all—or
with a dozen Constitutions, it ratters not which—admit
her in any way, and Black Republicanism will he en dead,
and buried en low that the sound of Gabriel's trump will
never reach it :
The people of Kansas are aware that they can change tho
Constitution to suit themselves at any time they may see
fit, and care not a straw under what Constitution they
come into the Union—they want to be admitted, and we
hope to find every Democratic member of Congress voting
for her admission at the earliest opportunity possible, when
we are certain to find :qr. Buchanan acting out his part
in ridding Congress of this long agitated and troublesome
question, and directing the attention of the nation to mat
ters of greater importance.
It would seem from the returns of the election as far as
heard from, that the Free State ticket hoe triumphed, the

AN IMPORTANT CASE
The case of Patrick Kelly vs. the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company was again tried in
our Court last week, the vel•dict in the former
trial having been set aside; by the Court, on
the ground that the damages were excessive.
The circumstances are briefly these
Patrick Kelly was at work near the town,
and his eon James?a boy about nine 'years
of age, was sent to him with his dinner. The
father sent him to town for tobacco, telling
him to hasten hack that he might not be too
late for school. To return to town it was
necessary for him to cross the Pennsylvania
Railroad, where it passes over the turnpike
between this place and Portstown. It was
alleged by plaintiff that the cars were unlaw
fully obstructing the turnpike ; that the boy
endeavored to cross by going under one of the
cars; that the cars started without whistling,
caught the boy, and injured his leg so badly
as to render amputation necessary ; and the
action was brought by the father to recover
damages for the loss he sustained by the injury
of his son.
The defendant denied that the cars were
obstructing the turnpike, or that they started
without whistling, and alleged that the boy's
negligence in endeavoring'to cross under them
was such as to deprive hit father of the right
of action. Whether the cars whistled belbre
starting or not, was not treated as a very
material inquiry in the trial of the cause. The
principal questions submitted to tliejury were
whether the cars were obStructing the high
way, and if so, whether :the Company was
relieved by the want of that degree of care on
the boy's part which might reasonably i be ex
pected from one of his years. The jury found
both these questions against the Company,
and returned a verdict of $3OOO for plaintiff.
The case was conducted for plaintiff by Messrs.
Scott & Benedict; for defendant by Miles &
Dorris.—Huntingdon Globe.
DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS. — The editor of
the New Hampshire Gazette publishes a list of
twenty-nine names, subscribers to that paper,
whose arrears amount in the aggregate to
$249,98. The editors of the Rochester, (N.
Y.) Democrat state that during the twenty
years that paper has been published, there
has accumulated an indebtedness of subscrip
tions of $30,000. There are many old estab
lished papers in the country which show an
equal indebtedness of subscribers to publish
ers.
If we were disposed, we could name one of
them.—[Eds. Intel.
ANOTHER SLAVE CASE DECIDED.—The
Chi
cago Times reports a case just decided by the
Supreme Court of Illinois :
" A citizen of Missouri brought a suit
against the Illinois Central Railroad in tro
ver, for a slave wlko taking passage in the cars
of that company was taken to Chicago, and
beyond the possession of his owner. The
court below sustained a demurrer to the
declaration, and the case was argued before the
Supreme Court, which reaffirms the doctrine
of the Supreme Court of the United States in
the Dred Scott case, that the status of a negro
depends upon the laws of the State in which
the case is determined, and not upon the laws
of the State from which he may come. The
laws of Missouri do not follow and determine
the status of a negro while he is in Illinois,
nor do the laws of Illinois follow a negro to
Missouri and determine his con lition there.

The whole amount of insurance, us above stated, repre

The amount of Premium Notes represents the rates charge
able on three-fourths of the estimated value of property :
The amount of losses to the Company for the year, is nine
thousand. two hundred and seventy-one dollars and twenty
cents, ($9,'271.20,) which includes the recent losses of John
Sigle on his Cabinetmaker Shop and Contents, insured for
$408.00, and Christian Overholtzer on his Barn and Con
tents, insured for $825 00, and Wagon Shed and Contents
insured for $175 00; a full account of other losses to the
Company during tile year, was published In the weekly
papers of the County, In the month of November.
It is cause for gratulation to the members of the Company
that the losses for this year are $5,500 less than last year,
and when it Is considered that the estimated value of prop
erty insured In this Company is about eight millions of
dollars. ($8,000.000.) the losses to the Company have been
comparatively small. It is, however, a source of regret and
alarm, that nearly three-fourths of the amount of losses
for the year, are supposed to have been occasioned by In
cendiaries, and that in every instance without being able
to discover the guilty ones.
. ,
A few years ago, when a large amount of property had
been unmistakably destroyed by incendiaries, a great deal
of alarm and anxiety prevailed in the neighborhood, and
meetings were called to devise some plan that would lead to
their detection. Among other things done, it was recom•
mended to the Board of Directors to offer a large reward,
equal in amount to one-half of the property destroyed,
which was done, but failed In its purpose.
The last ivaessment of W, per cent, made in November,
and the only one for the year, will be sufficient to pay for
all losses during the year. The Board availed themselves
the opportunity to borrow money from Individuals, to
pay for losses, as they occurred, in order to avoid the names
sity of making more than one assessment for the year; the
interest of the money borrowed, being less than the expense.
incurred in making an assessment. The Board would take
his opportunity to again notify members of the Company,
ho may 10500 neglected to pay their assessments, that the
line for the payment of the same will be extended until •
he 15th of February. after which time, delinquents will bop
.alled upon by a Collector, duly authorized to collect the
•ame, and they will he suldect to the payment of mileage
s usual. All of which lo most respectfully submittal.
