Yon have been apprized of (he'urigin of (he diffi culty—that of ihe arrest of a prisoner in the hands of the Sheriff by a parly of filieen iu twenty of the citizens of Lawrence and its vicinity, and the refusal to deliver any of the parlies concerned m the mob and ouiragesnp to any officers of the Territory, unless it be the Governor, or to those of the General Government. This determination is strength ened by the course pursued by Gen. Lane, and also by the editor of the paper at Law rence, and a few other men of similar stripe, who are continually making harangues to the populace, and urging them to make prepara tions f»r a fight. On Saturday night Gen. Lane delivered a speech of this character, which was re ceived wi'h tho greatest demonstrations of enthusiasm. Gov. Shannon, seeing such a state of things existing, very properly order ed out the militia of the Territory, who did not respond very cordially to his wishes, — Many of the dozens of the Western border counties in Missouri, willing to aid in quelling tho disturbance, offered iheir asistnnee, and are now in readiness to go to ihe scene of ihe difficulty at n ommoni’s warning. Many have already gone from Lafayette and the adjoin ing counties well prepared (or the emergen cy.

From another source we learn that the bel* ter mm in Lawrence say they are willing «o give op all concerned m the affair, if the legally nuihoriz-d persons seek it ; otherwise they will resist to Governor Shannon, In reponse, said ; “Why /not de liver them to the Sheriff or to the Uniird Stales Marshal wSm }.-«ve already demanded them?" Trouble wm no doubt result from U. os much excitement exi'ls on both sides. A meeting is now being held in Kansas to lee if some measures cannot be adopted to terminate the matter peaceably if possible, but forcibly il necessary. On Saturday, Gov. Shannon applied to President Pierce by telegraph, for assistance from the United Slates troops at Fori Riley ond Leavenworth; and, until such aid is granted, nothing will be done, unless the ex citement of the parlies concerned will bring on the crisis before. If so, many valuable .lives will be Ms. Of all that transpires further I will en deavor to Keep you promp'ly advised. me very latest —lane bids defiance 1 There is great excitement all through this Country and overwhelming numbers are pour ing trom every direction in (he Territory to sustain the ta\u.

Walker, the fillibusler, seems to be on ihe high mud to renown ns ihe founder of a new Stale. His con'rol of Nicaragua is represen ted by the latest intelligence, given in our columns this morning, as more solid and secure than ever. Corral, the last man who might have headed a movement against his authority, has hi on convicted of treasonable correspondence with some relics ol the op posite party and shot. By every arrival from California, reinforcements swell the artny of the chieftain, and if he continues to manage his affairs with the same discretion which he has hitherto exhibited, no power can expel him from his position. The moment chosen by Walker for the in vasion of Nicaragua was the best conceivable. The country was exhausted by a prolonged civil wat. Everybody desired peace, and any commander who could secure it would have been welcomed by what rem lined ol the people. The leaders of ihe contest on both sides were dead, removed either,by bat tle ng hy posii'ence, and their followers had also been decimated by the same cuuso. l.< fact there was no longer even the semblance of a native army to conquer; wh'm Walker moved upon the capital. The plaza of that town, where for months Chamorro had held Castellon at bay, bad not now a defender, and the only millitary man of any prominence remaining to the country —Corral made haste to submit and make a treniy with iln invader, to break it, however, very s mn and, to pay Ihe penally with his lile. A more facile conquest is not recorded in history.— The acquisition of Texas by the Americans was nothing 10 it. We must admit that since his triumph the conqueror has exhibited a great degree, of po litical sagacity. Tha Presidency was in his grasp, but he preferred that Don. Patricio Rivas,a prominent native Nicaraguan, should he put into that office at least for the present. By this means Walker saved the Government from that revolutionary and alien air, which in his own hands it would have worn. The Nicarguans would certainly be verv ungrnte lul to refuse their allegiance to an Adminis tration with one of their own number at its head. Besides, had he became President, foreign government* would have been slow to form relations with the new regime ; but there could be no reason why they should not recognize Rivas, who had Wen in high office before, and had borne a decent charac ter at the world goes. The shrewdness of (hit plan is justified by tha result. TheMin itter of- the United States has attendy cx ebanged congratulation with the new chief magistrate, and the others are likely to fol low, ' When the revolution is thoroughly le gitimaled by the recognition, of several pow er*, Walker will be ready to make himself nominally dictator,as he already is in reality, and to carry his great project another step toward its consummation. That project is briefly to fill the country vjth Americans, to introduce Slavery, qnd to prochrhlho annexation of Nicaragua; to the North American Union as a slave State, with a prospect of a similar result for the adjoin ing counties. This ja the Scheme, and it is being hurried toward ija realization with un exampled rapidity. .

Kansas. —Kansas is now the scene of an exciting contest—perils ps of blood. The continued aggress ions of the Missouri border ruffians and (he con temptible cowardice of Mr. Pierce, have combined to bring matters in Kansas to a bloody crisis. Gen. Lane, who. by (he Tribone’s correspondence in an other column seems to be the lender of the Free State men, U a Nebraska democrat, but a consistent Popular Sovereignly doctrine man. He believes in permitting the people of Kansas to decide fur them selves whether Slavery shall enter that Tcrriiory or not. “The snow', the snow I the beautiful snow! How gossamer-like il falls!” Reader, those two lines have nine parts of poetry lo one of truth, and who doesn't know it? The po els and poetesses of this wintry clinic ought to be sent lo Parnassus antridc of a Tinge county snow, drill! If that didn’t take the “gossamer” idea out Ihotr heads nothing would. Talk about snow full, ing “gossamer like 1” It always fulls gusty-more, like in these regions, where people celebrate the 4th of July on skates. -Snow never falls here, though its not uncommon for (he fall lo snow. The wind Iris the full snow, but il don’t lei the snow full. If any green poet like Mr. William Cullen Bryant, wants to see snow come down with more (ruth than poetry in it, we respectfully invite him to migrate hitherward. It is capital sleighing in spot* herea bout, just at present. Vice la snowdrifts! The Right of Suffrage—Wlio shall exercise It I Starting with the broad proposition that “All gov. ernmenlK derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," it seems hardly consistent to draw a line between men, saying—‘‘These may vote, and those ahull not.” Nevertheless, the inconsistency is only apparent, ns we hope to show. There is a line already drawn between individuals in this country, enfranchising these and diidVamdda ing those. It is written—“ Every free, while, mule citizen, having attained the age of twenty-one yrofs*’ iec., *Scc., “shall be entitled lo vote.” Passing over the three first qualifications as not being pertinent to the subject in this article, we find that no person is entitled lo a vote before having attained his mojority. Here then we find an arbitrary restriction. It is proper to ask why this lino was drawn. Was it because men enter upon their estates and legally acquire the right to hold property ut that period in life, proceeding on the principle of “no taxation without representation ? Probably not—a* negroes and women also acquire the right to hold property at that ago as well, yet they are subject to taxation without representation. It docs not appear that the law contemplates any of the above named things when it fixes the period of freeinnnhood at 21 years. We must look for other reasons. No sane man will deny but that many areas com petent to eicrci-e the rights of freemen at the age of eighteen, as many others arc at any period of their lives. Still, a line mast be drawn somewhere, and fur good and sufficient reasons it was drawn where we find it. It is trac that most young men are in tolerable readiness to assume the weighty re. spnnsibiiiliea of active life at twenty-one. With or dinary advantages they arc then tolerably well post cd in the rudiments of book knowledge. They usu ally have a prclly good idea of the principles upon which governments ufo founded, and thus they are in some sort prepared to lake part in the practical administration of Stale affairs. It is highly proba ble that their entrance upon Ihe business of life is nut hastened hy the reeling of Ihe rights of freemen in them ut a certain lime ; neither would their en trance upon tlie tmsincss of life be put off,-were they enfranchised ten years later. Life has its season of unniged activity ua well ns repose ; and (hat period will arrive without reference to human enactments. The right oi suffrage is not a natural right, but ac quired. Thus, a man may acquire and hold proper lyand pursue his happiness in the general avoca tions of life, having never acquired the right of suf frage. Men assume the dignities of manhood at the bidding of “the divinity that stirs within them.” At the ago of twenty-one most young men. in this country, will have possessed themselves of suf ficient theoretical knowledge, which, reduced to prac tice, is enough for a beginning. The sooner they enter (be school of practical life, then, the better. And we apprehend that this notion obtained long be fore universal suffrage did. To us, these facts war rant the establishing of this rule : "The general in. (clligenec of the man touching the social and polit ical principles on which the Institutions of his conn try are founded, should bu the ground of his enfran chisement.” The man who is well informed in re gard to measures is, generally speaking, competent to decide as to their practicability—whether they will lend to benefit (he law or (lie many. Adopting this view of the matter apparently, the people of Connecticut have just amended their Con stitution, so that no person unable to read the stat utes shall be entitled to vate J hereafter in that Stale. At lho same .lime the means of a common school education are placed within the reach of every man woman and child.' The measure seems as Just as it is beneficial. Tbs stability of this Government and of all Gov. eminent* by the people, depends entirely upon the intelligence of the masses. ' Probably no man will undertake to deny this whose denial is of the least .account.. .The founders of this coimlryV liberties -acted in j and'the untiring ef forts of our.besi-pajfiota to increase school facilities everywhere iu the land are pal forth iu tbii belief.

Extremes! poverty even, is hardly a valid exense for ignorance. It is not to be wondered at then, that there is less ignorance among American bora citizens Ilian msy be found among any other people on the globe. The masses are as familiar with the fundamental princi ples of Republicanisms* the men who represent, or misrepresent them in Washington. American mo thers teach their children in the cradle so that they leave it prepared to undertake deeper studies in po litical economy. Without the accomplishments of an elementary education, not one man in 100 is competent to take part in the administration of civil government. A government by the people is nececssarily the off spring of cultivated mind. Despotism is the neces sity of uncultivated mind. Some say that man by nature is a democrat But how is it? Is the North Amerissn Indian a democrat t Is the Kaffir ar the Bedouin of the desert a democrat ? None of these are democrats, but tho contrary. Yet all these arc children of Natnre. Bui the Czar is cultivated and refined, yet fit} is a despot; ditto, the Emperors of France and Ausria* All very true. In Uie ordination ol earthly aftiirs one beholds a nice adaptation of means to ends. Alexander of Russia is a despot because his subjects would not be subjects under any other rule. The serfs of Russia arc no more capable ot selfgovern. menl than some oilier nations of the Old World. The despotism of Alexander U the fruit of the jro (bund ignorance of the Russijn people.

Napoleon accepted the trust in nslf.de fence—forced by the ignoroncc and instability of the French masses to play tho tyrant. Circumstances make him what he is. Had he been elected to the highest office in the gill o! tho American' people he would not have dreamed of imperial djgoilies. The wisest of men coolJ not rule ove/either Rus sia or France except an a tyrant. The serfs have no higher conception of government than afl a kind of brute force on a (urge scale. Education alone can give them capacity for self government. Give to America intelligent freemen and they will guaranty the perpetuity of free institution*.

"Chapman's Principia, or Nature's First Principles.* By Dr. 1.. L. Chatham. Campbell & Co., Pub- lishers, Philadelphia, pp. 314, price, 31 00. This work is calculated to produce os great a sen sation in the scientific world, ere many years, as did Newton's Principal. In the latter, work it is assum ed that there are no indications of repulsive force existing in nature. Newton’s hobby was “Attrac tion.” Every thinking student must liiivo discover ed a kind of incompleteness in the Newtonian the ory which seems strangely foreign to Uie handily clairvoyant judgment of that distinguished philoso pher. The theory of Attraction without Repulsion, to many minds, dues not fully account for all the various phenomena of planetary motion or of mete, orology. The existence of positive and negative forces in the economy of nature is beyond question. Chapman’s Principia, in a more quiet age—in an ago of less startling developments than the -present —would certainly bring a host of University men armed with the Anathema of Science, about his cars. As it is, he cannot hope to escape the hostility of those who dread innovation. , The work is ably written, the reasoning is cogent and cannot fail to interest even where it fails to convince. The au thor’s views conflict seriously with those entertained by Newton and his disciples j but we apprehend that Newton may not have discovered all the truths in Nature, and likewise that he may have blundered. Tho application of Dr. Chapman’s discovery to the pre-calculation of those periods whefl lli’c pent up forces of Nature suddenly manifest- tllemsclvc? in memorable storms, earthquakes, and in the silent and mysterious sweep of the pestilence over the habitable earth, almost leads us back to tho Ago of Pfophecy.

Produce of the Lake Superior Cop per Mines. —The Rochesier Tribune gives information “from a reliable source” respect ing ihe produce of the copper mines of ihe Like Superior region during the present year. The loud shipments for die season are staled ai 4,845 tons, valued ui 83.000,000. The increased shipments, this year, over 1554, is about 2,000 ions. It Is (-slimmed die exports next year will be full 1,000 tons over this year. The Tribune adds: The Emperor of France has had Mnns. Rivol. Professor of the School of Mines in France, examining the mines of Lake Supe rior, ns ihe Government have been cut off of their Russian supplies in consequence of die war. The Professor returned, taking with him several tuns, and satisfied that ihe Lake Superior region could furnish an abundant supply. The American copper was carefully losted, and found fully tqutil, if not superior lo Ihe Russian, and very fur superior to ihe English. It is -used in the manufacture of ordnance, and no inconsiderable qua mines are consumed m the manufacture of jewelry, per cussion caps, and a great variety of oilier articles. The superior tenacity of American copper is a very strong recommendation in its favor. The Minnesota mine sold a considerable amount of iheir lasi year’s copper lo the Rothschilds, in Europe. It was smelled in Paris; and it is a curious fact that-it was found to contain, besides the usual alloy of silver, a Irnce of gold. On His Track.—A correspondent of The Boston Journal, writing from New. York, (e|ls the following: “ An incident transpired here Inst week that has mode soma talk among the parties •who have had knowledge of the matter. A lady from the State of Maine came to this cby on her way to California. She hud ns arms two revolvers and a bowie.knifp. the con. doctor purchased her a ticket in the Califor nia steamer and she left in the vessel at noon. Her story is this: A short time since her husband obtained possession of all her wealth, converted all he could turn into gold, and then deserted his family, look a ship nnd start ed for the land i>f gold, round Cape Horn.— Bot this is hot the worst ; he took with him a female not his wife.

Yesterday we found out all übout it, and as none of the parties interested can read, and, in consequence, will not have their feelings lacerated by seeing themselves ia prim, we shall tell our readers of it. Mr. Aubran, the husband of the honorable lady and mother above advertised, is an eccen tric old Frenchman who keeps a grocery on Buteroo street. Some years ago the wife ol his bosom, not being able to present him with an heir, became disgusted with him and ran OIF. After a while she returned and opened negotiations with hurt for a divorce. He be ing willing, the bymeniul knot was served by due course of law, and each returned to a life of single blessedness. After a lapse of 'ime, however, their happiness degenerated into misery—their “ttffimiies” brought them together again—and after a brief courtship, they agreed to gel spliced again, and every thing was got in readiness fertile event, Jus tice CJuienne being selected us the officiating priest. On the day preceding the wedding, however, the intended bride gave way to her ancient fickleness, and ran off to Mobile with another man, who married her there. This made Aubran so “pizen" mad that niter a courtship of forty-eight hours he married his housekeeper, Miss Kate, Being spunky, withal, he published his marriage in some of the city papers, the notice being preceded by one announcing bis first marriage and subse quent',divorce. This was about two years ago, A year having passed after the last mar riage, without offering the husband any prom ise or even a ray of hope that the one wish of his heart would ife lulfitled, his divorced wife, who had returned to the city with her husband, maliciously circu luted stories through the neighborhood that he was nothing but an old dry.bones, who was never intended by nature to be a father; telling litis, as one who had a righ' to know. Aubran, though con siderably nettled at heart by Ibis, made be lieve that he didn’t care, and threw the I mill back, by telling her mu 10 brag' umd she hud presented her second husband web an heir—a thing, by the way, that she has not done yet.

Mon.no.Msa.—An official statement has been published in the Deseret New*, at Salt Lake City, giving some (acts of interest in connection with the progress of Mormonism. According to this statement, the church has about ninety-five missionaries in Europe, and an equal number in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Isles, besides large numbers of native elders in the various fie da of labor, and also a considerable number scattered throughout the United States and British America. Of newspapers apd periodicals, the church has one in Salt Lake City, issuing fiflir thousand copies weekly: - one in New York; one in Liverpool, issuing twenty-two thousand week ly copies;j>na in Swansea, South Wales; one in Copenhagen, in the Danish language; one in Australia; and one in.lndia. Preparations are making in New Or leans for erecting the Jackson - Monument on the Bth of January. Employing any person to make fictitioo* bids at nn auction, or getting the auctioneer to “run the propety up,” renders the s a | 6 void. In Reading, Pa., last week, says tbs Pittsburgh Dispatch, a suit was brought on a promissory note, given by a widow for tbs first payment on a property which she bid in for $1,601,.at a public sale held by plaintiff The defence was thot thesnle was illegal, p,, plaintiff having employed what the law terms “puffers at the sale—that is, individuals to mike fictitious bids (or the purpose of running up the propeiy, and that in this way he got the properly up to $1,600, then told defendant that if shn would bid one dollar more she should have the property. She did so, and it was struck off* to her and the note given. Ag effort vvns made on the other side to contra, diet all this, and show that the properly was not sold above its real valne. The Court charged that the value of the property was of no consequence, that the law does not allow fiiciitious bids, and that if "puffers” were era ployed, the sale was absolutely void. Verdict fur defendant. An oyster he,d has been accidentally plan, ted in Lake Erie by the steamer Buckeye State, which on her last trip up the lake waa obliged, in a heavy sea, to throw overboard one hundred barrels of oysters in the shell, just fresh from 'he salt waier of the Atlantic coast. As they were dropped in deep water, there is no danger of their being tished up, and ihey will luxmiate there unmolested,— The question is whether such a salt water product can ihrive in the fresh water lakes of the weal. We should think not; but if u „ possible, the experiment will now have a fair trial. Prepayment by Stamps.—We noiiea tlial some misconstruction is being placed upon ihe net requiring postage to be paid bv stamps nfier Ihe first pf January.
