Williams, of this comity. whose reputation an a
shrewd, intelligent, reliable and eminently practi.
cal man extends over the Sate.' He is one of our
largest slaveholders, and in thus prompted both by
prirteiile and by considerations of se:f•interest to
feel a lively concern in whatever relates to the fir.
tore of the South. We make thus free with his
name, because hie observations are of sufficient
public importarce to justify it. While he would
object to seeing it paraded be - fore the public wt h.
out cause, we do not believe he would desire it to
be withheld when necessary to give lorce and coin

It will be seen that Dr Williamsstates than Kan.

that Kansas has already made a. beginning which
ensures st a slave state. The climate, soil and pro
sinetiohs of the territory are eminently adapted in
slavery, and slaveholders of Missouri arid the ad.
joining states are taking or have taken the neces
vary steps to fir its condition.
Our readers will recollect the facts relating to
Kansas which we spread before them a few weeks
since derived from various coerces, and that we
concluded an article on the antject with this lan
guage : "Our firm belief is that if the southern
people will be as true to themselves' as their rep.
resentatives in Congress have beensor as the north
ern democrats, who, in the late struggle, defied the
storm of fanaticism and tore away the anti-slavery
restriction of thirty-tour years standing—slavery
will exist permanently in Kansas, and before many
yeas her influence will be tel in the restoration of
the equilibrium between the NOrth and South in
the federal legislature." This opinion in now con•
finned inn) as absolute a certainty an anything in
the future can be. The repeal of the lave asserting
for Congress the power to prohibit slavery in the

may well congratulate herself ; bet still greater w i ll

lionataLs A rrata.—The Chirloneville Adocate
has a letter from Morgan connty,-Ry., stating that,
on the 20th ult., a dreadful affair occurred at Bloom
ington, in that county. Two lawyers, named re
spectively Easily and Hazelritiz, were rivalcan
didates for the office of County Attorney. During
the canvass on the day before stated, Eastly, in a
speech to a :crowd of the electors, declared that
Hazelring was a liar, and had committed perjury.
Immediately Hazelring stepped up to thu stand,
and, without a word, pointed a revolver at' his as.
sailant, discharged the`oontents into his head,
blowing out his brains, and causing instant death
Hazelring surrendered himself. was examined and
acquitted on the ground of justifiable homicide.
I WOULD R%Tntft Wert AWIIII.C.—By the las.
news from the Pacific we are informed that the
popular election in Oregon has resplted in the de
feat of the proposal to 411 a convention to lorm a
State constitution. That it seems that, although
their delegate in Congress was in a hurry to see
the young territory in the adult condition of a State,
the pioneers of that Iar•oIl region are content to
bide their time and share the bounty of the geoeial

The Foreign News.
The . Pacific brings news of considerable interest
concerning the War. The Czar's reply to the sum
mons of Austria is designed, sod admirably calcac
lated, to detaCh that Power with Prussia frrim the
‘Vestern Alliance. He declares his readiness to
concede the free navigation oldie Danube, to agree
'0 a joint protector:4e of the European Powers over
the Christians in Tnikey, and to evacuate the Pfin•
cipalvies whenever England and France will with
draw their forces, This is all that was required
by the Vienna Conference, held in April ;—and it
will give Austria excellent ground for urging peace
upon the ‘Vestern bowers. She has already coon
ternianded the order for her troops to occupy Les
ser Wallachia, and gives unmistakable indications
of her desire to use the power of her position for
the restoration of peace.
Strong apprehensions are entertained in England
of the results of this movement. The Times, with
the other journals, is very decided in the opinion
that these proposals ought not to be entertained for
a moment; but they also betray a good deal of on.
easiness as to the effect of the Czar's oilers on the
Austrian. Court. It was rumorea that a Russian
Agent, Count Pahten, had arrived in London, and
had friendly ir.terviews with Ministers. His bust
ness is supposed to to secure the assent of the En
glish Govemninto to the proposed arrangement.—
The rumor of his presence is probably unfounded.
A very remarkable article has made its appear
ance in the Paris &bats, attributed to Guizot, which
has aroused fresh suspicions of the good faith of
the German Powers, which it represents as having
made the most earnestappeala to the Czar to be
permitted to•meditate between him and the Wes
tern Powers.

which was a most welcome , visitant, as we had not
seen a drop of rain since the 141 h, and then but a
slight shower early in the morning, the effects of

West, and Sou . h, we . observe that the ptesent warm
weather is felt very generally all over the country,
and many cases of Sun Stroke are reported in the

WHEAT CROP.—From all we can learn, the crop
of wheat, in the western country, will equal the
average product. In central Illinois, the Springfield
Journal says it could be gathered but by the aid of
the horse-power reaping machines. In Missouri,
the farmers are paying as high aa two or three dol.
tars a day for hands to work in the harvest fields,
with a scarcity of help, even at these prices. Much
of [he crop is likely to be lost for want of hands to
gather it.—Cleveland Herald.
CANADIAN WHEAT Cans. —The Wheat Crop of
Upper Canada will far exceod that of any other
year in its amount. It is estimated that a third more
was sown last year than the year before, and it all

ed at 7.ooo,ooohushels. This yea', it is calculated
the surplus will reach 12 000.000 bushels. Esti
mating the pried at only st,so per bushel, it gives
the farmers $lOOO,OOO for wheat alone for a for
eign market. If the Reciprocity measure is passed
and if the barve,st turn cut in Europe. as they at
present promise to do, that surplus will mostly be
marketed in New York. And if it is, it will make
a howling among American Farmers.—Buffalo De

SireutAie imp FATAL. ACCIDENT —We noticed on
Wednesday the death ot Jacob Rivenberger, em
ployed by the central Railroad Company to attend
the bridge over the Irondequoit creek, a few miles
east ot this city. The manner in which the acci
dent happened was curious, and it may be many
years before we hear of a death in a similar man
ner. We gel the particulars of the affair from Co.
roner Quin, who held an inquest in view of the bo
dy of the deceased. The express train which left
this city for Syracuse on Tuesday morning was
somewhat behind time, and running at a high
speed—nearly a mile a minute—when the, accident
happened. As the train crossed the bridge alluded
to a stick of beech wood weighing twelve pounds
end three quarters fell from the tender, emit ing the
side of the bridge. It then flew along • the course
of the train twenty-six feet, where Mr. Rivenber
ger was standing, striking him upon the head,
crushed the skull upon the brain, producing almost
ins.ant death.
This did not materially check its form for it
passed thirty feet further,' struck in the sand, and
then bounded twenty six leaf further still before it
came to rest, making a distance of eighty-twO feet
which it travelled after it left the , tender; striking
three times in its course, and what may appear
stranger still, it was ahead of the tender when it
came to a final atop, as threq witnesselyeatified
who saw the affair. The whale took place is &sec
ond of time, and when the spectators ran - to Poor
Rivenberger he was apparently lifeless. The Ter.
die of the jury in the matter was, that deu.eased
