The Canal could always be made to pay far more t’l in the cost of repairs, in carrying lumber, ooal and othvr heavy freights. Then the State owns a large amount of real and personal property along the line of the works, which the purchaser would get into the bargain. The price is low enough; and a sale could have been effeoted be foro this timo but for the oonetant efforts to prove them worthless.

Besides they are leading questions, and not allowable in a direct examination. They are therefore overruled, and our neighbor can have an exception sealed if it desires.

[For the Pittsburgh Post.] Now that the mad antioa of the Kansas Legis lature are everywhere exolting attention and disgust, it appeare to me that rather too-muoh Btress is put upon the project of annexing the Platte oonnties to Kansas. This is altogether out of probability ; for even if Missouri oould be so absurd as" to part with so valuable a part of her territory, the annexation oould not be valid without an act of Congrrci. The Territory of Kansas and its boundaries eiopositivoly defined by aot of Congress.and there is no other author ity in the United States oompetcnt io-enlarge or diminish >ts extent while it is a territory. This could only be done by the cononrrent aotion of me d'aie of Kansas and the State of Missouri, but Kansas is oot a State yet, and can have no such p.,wer until she becomes one.

The advocates of despotism and tyranny have ever watched with awful and untiring vi gilance every trifle which oouid be construed to our prejudice. The extension of oar territory, the spread of our stable Republican institutions over a wider area, is particularly offensive ; and as the acquisition of territory has ever been obtained by force or fraud in tho old world, it is easy to associate tho means with tho end in’thiß. Let us examine and see: Our ancestors oamo to this continent and took the land peaooably when they coaid, forcibly when they must. We par ohasod Louisiana from Franco : who had about as much title to it as Satan had to all the king doms of the earth. The people are the sover eigns of the country—they are tho legitimate Source of all power, and tho fountain of all honor. AU we needed to a perfect title in the eyes of God and man, was the consent of the people Who had got the start iu appropri&tiug the territory, and bringing it into use. Editors of the English press eight to know, that there is a time when men arc released from their r.l ! Icgiaooo. There is a time when resistance to oppression and tyranny hecomes a virtue, and inaction a crime. Laws are unjust from some one of the following causes : When they are opposed to tho oommou weal—when their aim is uot tho good cl the oommou weal—who the Legislator outstrips his faoultics—when although iu other respects leading to the good of the com mon weal, and proceeding from competent author ity they do not observe suitable equity ; for in stance, whon they divide uuequally the public imposts. Such laws aro oot laws, but outrages; they arc uot binding iu conscience. If any peo ple upon our borders claim the right of self government, and call for sympathy, is it wrong for individuals here to sympathise with them? i Shall we o'ultify oarbolvcs by maintaining such a doctriue! Way Lafayette and a host of other foreigners wrong in volunteering their aid when we called ? It is right ia our government to engage in do crusades ngainst ethers. It acta for tho whole, and uot for individuals. It should uot commit those who do not tee lit to commit themselves Are we thas to be threatened by tho prees of Eogland with a “ visit of her navy,” for thus sympathizing with tbe patriotic Cubans f Tho British navy, which used lo oxoito such terror in other nations—which caused tho flags of Franco, Bpain and Holland to droop before it —whoso Lhaudcr dissolved the armed neutrality in 1800, and wrapped Copenhagen in flames in 1807 —no longer oxoites any other eentimeut but joy at the approaching downfall of tho most tre mendous inetrumeot of tyranny ever wielded by man ; and at home, moves only ridiculo and the splenetic effusion of mortified pride. Eiitors of the British press know that America has twico beaten Into submission the powerful monarchy of England : and while she is governed by the voice of the people,‘she is u match eingle-hnnded for the monarchies o? tho world. Tho govern ment of England has her hands foil with Russia; besides, ebe has within herself the seeds of her own dissolution, aa the l&tc foreign enlistment bill demonstrates. Look to India, tho theatre of British ambition and British violence. There, a population greater than that of France has been annihilated, or reduced to wretchedness, and populooa provinces rendered wholly desolate. Look around tho globe—ere the English flag fly ing in every quarter—in countries where roli gion, laws and language dissonant Has she not subjugated the greater part of Asia ? Has she not foroed the ramparts that separated her from China; and has she not been waging another war, by her influence, on tbo American continent ? F.arope ba? acknowledged tho bare ful inflaenco of England's usurpations ; tbe blood that has flowed for the last fifty years has flowed at her purchase ; and the Turks wib farther rue the event of a struggle that removes tho aacenJ aocy of a great people for the domination of British and French tyranny. FERGUS MeIYER. AUGUST 2. 4o*. f From tha Cincinnati Kuquirer, August 1 Steamboat Collision—The Steamer Ken tucky Horae Snnb—Logg of Life. It is our painful provinces to record one of (he most fearful catastrophic:* (hat occurred upoa the Ohio river for nome time paid, icc-par ticulars of which, ae wo have learned them, ar? us follows: Ou Monday evcoir.p, at a liitie after K o'clock, as tbo steamer Telegraph No. 3 was coming up under lull headway, on tho Indiana side of tho river, when opposite tiagar Creek, about three miles above Warsaw, Kentucky, she came into collision with the steamer Kentucky Home, com manded by Captain Rred, bound from Pittsburgh to Louisville, striking the latter with her bow about the forward hatch with such f-?roe that the timbers were literal;;/ shivered, and ia less time than it lakes to chronicle the foarful disaster, she sunk a hclpk*«a wreck- Fortunately the on the sinkirg craft wore few in number ; but the coustvmaikn on board was indoKcrifcnMe. Too unfortumto vessel suck eo rapidly Chat but liitU time v/.is given to contetup;*to tho dreadful lot: which seemed almost inevitable, and the do unci b™t surgpd heavily down, leaving these who but w moment before wrre buoyant with life and liopo Struggling upon tho dai k waters. In an incredible short time, however, tho boats of the Telegraph were lowered, and in al most a miraculous manner all tho poasengora were rcsoued, among them a mother with four of her children, sho herself clinging with tho desperation of despair to some of tbo rigging, whioh bad dotaohod itaolf from the wreok, while her offspring sustained thomaciTcs by olusplng her neck, arms and olothiog When taken into tho boat, all were nearly exhausted, and another mioato would have sufficed to bavo loosened their doath grasp, aud overwhelmed them in eternity. It is oertain that but four who were aboard of tho boat were lost—three deck hinds, who were engaged at the time of tho collision in sorting freight, and a fireman. About SI,OOU in money, left in the drawer of the clerk's office, Wiis also lost. Tho Telegraph was roondod to immedi ately after she got clear of the wreck, and in all probability it is owing to the praiseworthy exer tion of her officers that the loes of life was not much moro fearful. Divers rumors arc afloat as to tho cause of the collision: both parties, wo understand, blame each other; as, however, the melancholy affair will doubtless be investigated, we abstain from mentioning tbo rumors wo have heard. It seems oertain, however, that the whistle of tho Tele graph was blown twice, and that, also, the whistle of the Kentnoky Home was blown, but, owing to tho wind, it was not heard aboard of tho former vessel. About an hoar after the catastrophe a meet ing of the passengers of the Telegraph was held aboard of that vessel, at which a vote of thanks was awarded to the officers and orew for their prompt aotion in saving the lives of those be longing to the sunken boat, and, at the same time $45 in money was subscribed, and a tender of clothing made to those who wero left desti tute by tho disaster. The Kentucky Home belonged to Messrs. Reed & Mellon, of Pittsburgh. She was a new stern-wheel boat, one hundred and fifty feet In length, and was built expressly to ply be tween this port and Louisville, during the low water season. She is saifl to have cost $lB,- 000, and was insured in Lbuisville for $12,000. Mr. James Melien, one of the owners, and who usually officiates as chief clerk, is now lying sick at the Spencer House. Captain Reed, about tide time last year, met with a serious loss by the burning, at the New Riohmond land ing, of the steamer Forrester, of whioh, we bo lieve, he was the sole owner. Later —Bince writing tho above, we learn that the collision took plaoe about .three-quarters of a mile below the mouth-of Sugar Creek. The Kentuoky Home was crossing at the time. We also learn that, after the collision, a great por tion of the cabin and the hurricane roof of the sunken boat was preoipitated upon the bow and forward dock of the Telegraph, which enabled nearly all tho passengers to rcaeh the latter boat by a plank, and those deck passengers, were immersed in the water, and to this fortu nate circumstance may be attributed the small loss of life. At the time of the accident, it was pitch dark, the moon not having risen. It is said that the Kentucky Home made the oroesing higher up the river than the regular place, and hence tho melancholy catastrophe. s&* The latest estimates of the population of the world makes it eleven hundred and fifty millions, viz Pagans, 676,000,000; Christians, 820,000,000; Mohammedans, 140,000,000, and Jews, 14,000,000.

AsnLAND, July 20, 1866. ,8> r - This note will be handed to you by my friend Msj. T. Lewinski. A similar one was addressed tn yon on tho 18th, throagh my friend Mr. H. C. Pindell, who having lately engaged In tho praotioo of law in your city, found the deliv ery of it inconsistent with his views of the moral obligation of tho oath he, as a lawyer, Is requir ed to toko. The objeot of this note is solely to inquire whether you hold yourself personally responsi ble, as a gentleman, for publications made in tho newspaper of which you are the editor, attack ing private individuals. I am, sir, your obedient eorvant, JAME 3 B. CLAY. To Geo. D. Prentioe, Esq., Editor of the Louis ville Journal. Louisville, Ky., July 21, 1856 Sib • Your note of yesterday sent by the hand of your | friend Mej. Lewinski, is received. This is the second note of that kind I havo received from the family of Henry Clay. About ten years ago I received a note from one of your brothers, saying that ho wob informed by some person that I had spoken of him as insane, as asking whether, if he should furnish the testimony of a speoified nnmbor of men that he was in his right mind, I would acocpt a challenge from him. Itou aay that the objeot of your note, of yes terday, was solely to inquire whether I hold my self “ personally responsible as a gentleman,” for publications in my paper attacking private individuals. lam not aware, sir, that it partic ularly oonoems you to know what general rules !of action I proscribe for myßelf as an oditor. I havo no objection however to informing you, that, if I do any man such an nnprovokod and mortal wrong in my columns, as to entitle him, in my opinion, to takeorscek my life, I will hold royeclf responsible to him in the field, and that if any gentleman does mo each a wrong as to make me wish for his blood, I will call him to tho field. 1 proßumo, elr, that all whioh It concerns you to Know from mo, is whether 1 would accept a challenge from you on aooount of my comments in the Louisville Daily Journal of the 18th inst npon your communication published in tho same paper on tho name day. Without patting you to tho trouble of addressing the question to mo In duo form, 1 Bay to you plainly that I would not. Ido not wish to kill you. and I am very dear in the opinion that my article affords yon neither just oauso nor a rational pretext for killing me. I mado no attack or imputation up on your private oharaotcr, whioh, for aneht I know, is objeotionablo. I merely gave utter ance to tho thoughts and feelings namraliy and and necessarily exoited in my mind, and as 1 believe, in the whole public mind, by your de molishlng tbo sacred old dwelling house of your father and selling tho lumber. You stated, ia your published communication, that “ asper sions, both public and private,” had been oast upon you for pulling down your father’s house. ■ You thus admitted that your conduct had al ! resd 7 bocomo a matter of public notoriety ond | disapprobation, and a subject of public and pri i vatedenaooiation which you called “aspersion ” yet these aspersions, so oalled, had noi been uo- I need by you. When you attempted a defence of j your conduct ond assigned your reasons for it | as yon did in your nrtloie of Wednesday, you certainly gavo a liconso for those oomments of mine upon the conduo! and the reasons for vhiob, as I presume, you now wish to hold mo to personal responsibility. ! My article was not a tooth part so harsh to ! " 6r,t 7° u personally, cs yours was toward me. I \ ou stigmatized me, by a nc-cesssry aud direct i implication, aa a “ public coiuminator ” charged ! in lhe , sam# mann?r Bhb '• the pr.osTm.-Tio:.- ef tbc colomos ’ of my paper, and so used the j words “ liar and villain " as to show they j were meant for mo.

I J. B. Ciat, Esq. ! , rc P'7 t 0 tW « Mr- Clay has issued the fol ; lowing card : ro TUB PUBLIC, It is always a task, follow oitlsens, revolting to a private indtv,dual, if ho have proper sonsi bilittes, to obtrude his private affairs upon the notice of his fellow men. But there are occa sions when ho may feel himself compelled, how ever disagreeable it may be, to adopt auoh a course, and be justified iu olaiming public atten- UOU; I feel myself placed, by the Editor of the Louisville Journal, in suoh a position • and at, peal to the tribunal of your calm and dispassion ate judgment the more confidently, as I think that your iberty has been assailed in my person Invading tho sanotity of private life, regardless of the feelings of a mot Jr of seventy fife yea of age, the widow of tho man of Ashland, whose memory he has pretended almost to idolise, that editor has not scrupled, through the columns of bis paper, to hold up his and her son as an ob jeot for the scorn and indignation of his oountrv men. J Why iH-it that I have been so aaaailed 7 Was it that I had personally offended the oditor of the Louisville Journal? Not so; never in the whole oouree of my life had I gi ?CQ hi m the least oaose of offence; and if there was & nv publio print in the land from which I ought least to have expeoted such attaoks, the Louisville Journal was that one. Was it that I had been guilty of any aot whioh any one of you, plaoed in similar circumstances, wculd have heaitatod to have done? I bought Ashland, as I have heretofore said, at tho desire of both my father and mother; I determined to do with it as I thought best for the intoreet and comfort of my family. It aocorded better with my judgment to rebuild my father's house upon the same de sign, using iu its construction every particle of the old material, stone, brick, or wood that would answer, than to leave standing an old mansion, through whioh the water coursed and whose walls were cracked to suoh an extent as to render it positively unsafe, as a harbor for rats, and a resort for thieves and runaway ne groes. It is true that I did advertise la the Observer end Reporter newspaper, as the editor of the Journal states in bis letter of the 21st instant, that I wished to sell certain portions of the old material, but 1 specified in that advertisement doors, eaßh, &0., which were utterly useless to me. I was not so fortunate as to find a purcha ser for a single artiole I desired to sell, and the oonsequenoe is, that a large quantity of old rub bish enoumberß my place, whioh X shall have to get rid of by making a bonfire. It was not the offer to sell such old rubbish that was referred to in the first article in the Journal attacking me. It was a very different thing with whioh I waß charged. It was that, knowing them to be hallowed by aßaooiation with my father’s name, I either was, or had been Belling for my private profit, the beams, rafters, posts, &0., of his old dwelling house, to be made into stioks, snuff boxes, &0., &o. In my answer, whioh was pub lished in his paper, I gave such information re specting my private affairs as I thought would t .H. v * * - have satisfied any candid and reasonable man that be had done me injustice ; it is true that I used language which was 'harsh, but I did not conoeive it to be too much so towards the author of fluoh an uttaok up me. Iq making his attacks upon me, tho editor of the Louisville Journal was not instigated by any offence which I had given him personally, and my oondaot with respeot to my private property was but a pretext. He has clearly shown that he oared little for my father’s name, his fame, or his family. The true cause, fellow citizens, of those attacks, was that I had dared to exercise one of those rights of a freeman, and had been guilty of the enormous offense of making a pub lio address to my fellow citizens around my owq home, in opposition to the principles of a party to which he was attached. I appeal to you if this was not the solo cause. In attacking mo for such reason, your liberty and that of every freeman in the land was assailed ia my person. Tho reply which I thought right to make to the paragraph ia the Louisville Journal of iheBth inst., was published in that paper, and accompa nied by an article of Its editor, a column in length, more violent and unjustifiable than the first had been. I felt that it did not become mo to answer it by a new publication, and that I Bboold be wantiog'jn self respect did I tame ly suffer my name to be held np in suoh manner before the publio. I accordingly deemed it roy duty to address to the editor a note, through tbo hands of a friend, simply making tho inquiry whether ho held himself personally responsible, as a gentleman, for publications, attacking pri vate individuals, made in his newspaper. I rec eived, through tho postoffiae, on the 28d instant, a reply from him dated tho 21st, in which he re fuses to hold himself responsible as cr gentleman to me, and with a fiendiehbascncs-i, wholly unpar alleled in the history of any intercourse between honorable men, with the sole purpose still far ther to harrow my feelings, alludes to an affair with which I had nothing to do, and cf whioh I waß wholly and entiroly ignorant. Having thug plaoed himself withont that pale recognized by oil honorable gentlemen, in this region at least, I can never again, at any time or upon ony pretext or occasion, condescend to t&ko tho least notioo of anything whatsoever that may emanate from the editor of tho Louis ville Journal, either iu his public capasity or as n private man. I have thought it right, as I have boon pub- UoJy persecuted, to place in a public manner, all tho facts ondcircumstaDoca before my fellow oountry-mou. The first attack of tho Journal —my reply to it—tho renewed aosanlt of its editor ou me—my note to him through the hands of a friend, and bis reply through tho poatoffice, will appear under the (tame cover of this article. luthe fullest confidence that a generous pub lio will pardon me for thus again bringiog my self before its notice, I subscribe myself, With great reepect, its ob’t sorv't JAMES B. CLAY. Ashland July 24th, 1855 Mr. Barringer's Contradiction of a Know Nothing Calumny. fFroia tha Washington Union, Julj IT.) In our artiolo in Wednesday’s issue, denoun cing as a malignant falsehood the currrcnt Know Nothing allegation—that “ tho Tope's Nuncio to Spaio, before tho cabinet of the President was known to the public hero, declared, in Madrid , that the present Postmaster General , a Catholic, xsotUd bt a member of the cabinet of General Pierce. There is other and abuodaut proof to oonfirm the opinion that this appoiotmeot was secured to the Roman hierarchy before the. Catho lie vote seas cast for the present incumbent f” and also referring to the statement of the Raleigh (N. C.) Register, of tho 21et instant, that “ we ore authorized to state that tho lion. D. M. Barringer in a day or two, re-osserting and con firming his statement relative to the conversation whioh took place between himself and the Popo’a Nuncio, In Madrid, and the truth of which the Washington Union, with no knowledge of the facts, thought proper to deny ” —we took occa sion to say that we did not believe Mr. Barringer would ever assert tho fact of the occurrence of tho conversation between tho Pope’s Nuncio and himself, at tho time, and under the circumstan ces specified. Intelligence receivc-i yesterday from Mr. Barringer proves that wo were cor rect. Ho is at present at Saratoga Springs, in tho State of New York, and as he has stated to a gentleman from this city, of unquestioned in telligence and integrity, that the conversation with the Nando of the Pope concerning tho cabinet of President Pierce, which has been mado the foundation of so much falsehood and oalumniation, transpired subsequently to the inau guration of JfarcA, 1853, and to the reception of the intelligence thereof, and of the namez of Presi dent Pierce's in Madrid. Mr. Barringer also elated that ho had &d -dresaed two letters to Mr. Hayoer, cf North Car : nltna, stating the time of the conversation, &nd its drcutUflUnccs ond purport, r v nd tiokinß that gentleman to do all parties tho justice to state Iho/jefi in tho csce, but that Mr. F.. '.ad sup pressed both Alters, aud-had wholly refused to correal the falsehoods ia tha preaiiuej Mr. Barringer also expressed h;s purpose to publish his last letter upon tho nul jrc; to Mr Itayucr in a fow days if tho proper correction and retraction was not made by tbit gentleman. Thus perishes another Know Nothing calumuy. Tho Big Swindle. The committee appointed to iavesligate the coco of Tackerman, tbc defaulting Treasurer cf the Eastern Railroad, has reported. The report says that Tackennan'* bocks wore kept ia the most loose and carcier.s manner ; ho kept no cash bonk, but made his entries rn loose paper*, pocket memoranda, ,ko. The ever issue, it thinks, will not exceed 663 shares. The only way to ascertain the precise amount is to call in till the old oertifioateo aud issuo new ones a moasare whioh is recommended. Tho amount of notes used by Taekcrman for hio benefit ib, as far as can bo ascertained, 000. It may have exceeded that amount, Tbo oash applied to his own use amounts, as near as can be judged, to $llO,OOO. This ia other than that received from stock and notes. The full diaolosares on this point the report thicks will never be made. The total amount of Taokerman’s embezzle ments are said to be at least as follows : Amount received by him from of otor ip?ut? 1 s*ool: ftTeraglog at par, <363 share.n $0U.300 00 Amount received by him of over-lssui. of notes bo far as ascertained Amount of tho Company’s rash ufed bv Mm at least 110.000 Oo Amount received by him growing out of tli-i unlawful pledges of the Companv’a noiea OO Other deficiencies not explained 1,003 ‘Z3 Making an oggTega e of. Tho total amount of tho defalcations are set down by tho report at $246,505. Tho property f>ivon op by him to meet this is estimated at $69,496, whioh dedaoted from the above, leaves a loss of $186,800 to the oompsny. Thoro are some other resources whioh tho company is not at liberty to maho publio at present, and from whioh Mr. Tuckerman expects that a largo asm will bo realized. In accounting for the manner in whioh Mr. Tuckerman has disposed of this large snm, the committee mentioned transactions in roal estate, &0., to tho amount of $lBO,OOO. Tho balance of his deficit must be aooountod for, if at all, by the payment of largo sums of interest, both regnlar and extra, and by his losses by opera tions in various stocks ; and that bis specula tions in these stooks mast have been very heavy will be inferred from the foot that between tho 17th day of Deoomber, 1860, and the 13th day of August, 1862, inolnsive, the notes given by him to a single individual for monoy to him loaned at high rates of interest amounts in tho aggregate to the very respeotable sum of $279,- 828 89. The report finds no evldcnoe of fraud on tho part of tho Directors, present or past, but tho question of gross negleot on their part it loaves to the Stockholders themselves. ErFEOTS or B/ulboadb on Lands. Tho offeot of railroads upon the valuo of farming lands Is a question much canvassed in the West ern Btates. Tho St. Louis Demoorat says:— The offioial tax statistios of Michigan show that, through those counties where railroads have been built, the taxable property has, with in three years, inoreased 400 to 500 per cent., while in those oounties where no railroads have been built, tho ratio of increase in value has not been over one hundred. In drafting their eohedule for the prloee of lands, we find, too, that the Direotors of the Illinois Central Rail road have eome far short in estimating the value of their lands, for the road has caused the de mand to be so great for them, that they aro now bringing a large prioe above the minimum at whioh they were rated. In some instanoes, l lands that were rated at $l2 per acre, are soil ing for $25. Railroads espeoiaily where they course through rich sections of country, not only augment the prides of lands, but they do more, they promote social intercourse, build up j cities, augment the population of villages, and the farmer, having a oheap outlet to markot for .bis produots, plants fourfold what ho did before the railroad was established, aud his inoreased aotivity and industry is rewarded by largo sur plus gains, where bsfore ho had nono.
