BUUUESS, Uloomsbnrg, Feb. 3, 1858. Co. Siipt. Where Shall it be ? It is feared that a want of interest in the public improvements growing up around (US-— in fact, a w ant of interest in our own pecuniary welfare,—must produce a result which will be much regretted in alter years. We allude to the probable location of the Lackawanna and Bioomsbtirg Depot.' From some cause, which certainly must be slight and susceptible of easy reward, no suitable .spot has been obtained near town, and the probabilities are that the buildings of the tCompnny will be erected in the "Coun'.y" sir perhaps near a neighborly village.— Hlkere are older and wiser heads than ours in Bloom, but it does seem to us that to thus throw away the present advantages and conveniences of a Station and Depot on the edge of our village, to say nothing of the benefits in prospective arising from the es tablishment of manufactories, workshops, &c., and of a largely increased population, is sheer foolishness. We certainly will be the layghing stock ■of the business world, and wo fear that even some of our green (?) country friends will go home with a broad grin on their countenances upon discovering that the rail road is not at Bloom after all. We have heard a good deal of talk, but no logic, on the subject, and if some of our respected friends who differ with us, can convince us we are not right, we would thank them to step in, for our mind is considerably e.v . ercised to know how tlioy argue die thing . out. We have 'nary red' invested, or to in vest, in railroad stock or real estate; but we go in for the Depot. llook Notices Blackwood's Edinburg Magazine, for Jan uary, has been received; filled with good sound reading, from the best authors of the ■ day. The contents aro as follows:—Hun ger, and Thirst; WhaWwill lie do with u?— The Belle of Botreaux: a Legend, Deibt and Credit; the Scoltish Universities; The Poor bcah Mutiny—the Punjab; Beranger; &c., all of which is worthy an attentive perusal.

Address Leonard Scott & Co., .79 Fulton street New York. Kennedy's Bank Note and Commercial Review for February is 'out' in good and •correct 'style'. In looking over it last night and comparing some of our "old rags" or "trash," as we often hear it called, to our surprise we found that a good portion of it was spurious, according to Mr. Kennedy's Jteview, and it never fails to detect. This Detector is published weekly and monthly; tqrms per year in advance, for the -weekly, f2, for the moi.'thly, 81. Address Kennedy's Review, Pittsburg', Pa. THE TRIAL of the persons accused of rob bing D. L. Chapin's Store, at New Colum bus, resulted in a virtual acquittal, one be ing found not guilty, and the other guilty of the larceny of a note of hand. In the case of the latter a motion was made in ar rest of judgment, and it is not likely lie will never be sentenced. Agib Hicketts, Esq., who came to the bar first in this county, under the auspices of Mr. Hurley, was employed on the defence, and his argument is said to have been a most creditable, in fact a brilliant effort.— IMr. Ricketts possessed an intellect superior in itself, and which has been carefully and highly cultivated, lie will doubtless rise to eminence in his profession. COURT is still in session as we go to press. A synopsis of proceedings up to date will be l'ouud in another column. Business is despatched with commendable rapidity yet with great care in the courts of our county; indeed it is a subject of remark with gentle men of the legal profession that we have a model court. This is to be ascribed main ly to the excellencies of onr President .Judge, in whom are united that promptness ■of action which is to be found ill the young, with that ready and clear apprehension which commonly belongs to maturer years. As to the bar, we leave them to—their cK ftils. Hon. PAUI. LEIDV, Member of Congress, has our thanks for a Report on Finances for ihe years 1806-7.

A letter from Florida says: " Peach trees are in full bloom, and all kinds of trees are out like May. People are busy gardening." In Mobile roses and all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. A WOMAN CONVICTED OF MURDER.— In ihe Criminal Court of Lancaster county on' \\ ednesday last, Mary Jane Sebastian, a good looking mulatto woman, about 20 years of age, was tried for administering poison to Iter husband, and found guilty in the first degree. She was sentenced to be hanged. CV In N.

MURDKR OF AN INDIAN TRADER.— The Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald records the violent death of Mr. I. J.

JOHN THOMPSON, an old resident of Heinpfield township, Westmoreland county, was suddenly killed on Monday last, by fal ling among the machinery of a threshing machine, llis body was most shockingly mangled.

The Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch, in speaking of the now administration of Gen. Parker, uses the following language : William F. Packer is now tho Governor of the Commonwealth. His entry upon the duties of oflice was commemorated on Tuesday last by tho appropriate ceremonies. In accordance withacustom now too firmly established to be disregarded, the Governor delivered an inaugural address. In this speech ho first applies himself to business. Taking up the subject of tho rtitification of laws, Gov. Packer expresses his opinion that it is an absolute duty that the Execu tive shall sign or vote all bills submitted to him within ten days from presentation. It has occasionally been the practice of some of our Governors heretofore to refuso to sign, and to refuse to veto bills sent them. Under the Constitution such bills become laws after the expiration of ten days. Gov. Packer, without intending to cast any re flections upon his predecessors, is evidently of opinion that such a course is a direct evasion of a plain duty and indicates a want of moral courage. If abill is good and will be beneficial, it should be approved ; if, on the contrary, it is of a doubtful nature and may be injurious, it is tho duty of the Ex ecutive to appraise the Legislature of his views, so that the members may have an opportunity of reconsidering ttieir own opin ions, and corrected them if they have acted with sufficient deliberation. To suffer a bill to become a law which a Governor can not bring his mind to approve, is a coward ly omission of a plain duty, and cannot bo commended. Gov. Packer announces that he will not npott every bill presented him within ten days. This resolution is taken, as well as regards acts passed in the mid dle of a session as those which are delayed until the close. If the Legislature adiqviiiis before the Governor has l,acl time to con sider the bills beloro him, he announces that he will sign them within ten days, and withhold his signature front none except those he intends to veto. lii regard lo the banking system, the Gov ernor takes a proper and patriotic position, although it is not as radical as the true ne cessities of the people require. He is op posed to the circulation of small notes, and of an increase of banking capital unless with additional securities to the creditors of banks. Herein the Governor goes further than is necessary. Any increase of bank ing capital, any guarrantees, must provo in jurious. The interests of the people require the gradual abolition of banks, in anticipa tion of the time when they shall cease to exist. Any policy which permits their in crease, under real or supposed securities, must prove injurious. It is impossible to create a bank which will not be a detriment to the community, however much it may bo for the advantage of individuals. Later from Utah. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 30.—The Independence correspondent of the Republican, gives some additional items of intcligenco from the Utah arm}'. Capt. Marcy who had been despatched to New Mexico for salt, was expected back by the middle of April. As soon as ho arrives and tlio *"isporta lion has boon effected, Col. Johnston intends making an effort to enter Salt Luke City.— Col. Johnson's impression, from the demon strations made by the valley troops, was that a fight would result. Judge Eckel's Court was in session. A number of presentments had been made by the Grand Jury, involving business enough to occupy the Court for two or three weeks. Joseph C. Irwin, bearer of despatches to the Goverdnent, and who brought the news to Independence, reports having met a large number, of Arrapaho, Sioux and Pawnee Indians, at various points on the plains. Washington Affairs. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. Tho government employees are being paid their monthly salaries to-day principally in $lOO treasury notes, and a small portion in specie. OlNuial advices from tho Pacific show that the Indian tribes, though peaceable, have been much excited by the rumors that have reached them of the destruction of the government stores, and it was feared that there is a disposition on their part to break out into open hostilities. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs are engaged in the preparation of a report on Central American a Hairs, which will, it is said, support generally the views of the President. Abolition of Slavery in Kansas. The following are the main sections of the bill which has passed one branch of the territorial Legislature of Kansas, abolishing slavery in that Territory after tho first of March:— Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Governor and Legislative of the Territory of Kansas, That slavery and involuntary servitude in the said Territory is hereby forever abolished and prohibited, except for the punishment of crimes whereof tho party shall have been duly convicted. Sec. 2. Alf persons now held in slavery or involuntary servitude in said Territory, or who have heretofore, or shall hereafter be brought into tho said Territory for the purpose of being so held, are hereby declar ed to be free. Sec. 3. Any person who shall now hold, or who shall hereafter attempt to hold any person in blavery or involuntary servitude in said Territory, except for the punish ment of crimes whereof tho party shall have been duly convicted, shall, upon con viction thereof, be declared guilty of a mis demeanor, and bo punished by confinement at hard labor in the penitentiary for any term not less than two years nor more than fivo. Sec. 4. That all laws and parts of laws establishing, recognizing or regulating the institution of slavery in tho Territory of Kan sas, heretofore passed by tho Legislative Assembly, be aud the samo are hereby re pealed. The remaining sections only provido for tho modo ol trial and punishment of those who violate the provisions of the law as given above. 1 lie Lccompton Constitution Ratified. It turns out that the "spurious govern ment" of Kansas—created, as we are told, by "gigantic election 1 rands"—is endorsed by a clear majority of the people of the Territory in organizing under it and electing by an unequivocal vote, a complete State ticket. It is said the Free Soil men have triumph ed upon the Governor and both branches of the Legislature. Thiamay be so or not.— The i^4 >r °f polled is qqite largo enough to establish the fact that the people of Kansas, like sensible men, have conclu ded to accept the Constitution just framed, and to consult the future upen tho subjoct of its modification. We would like in tho principles, doctrines and m.en of our party, and feel an abiding faith that Federal and Stale affairs are best conducted while in their hands. But if we are defeated in a parly sense, wo succeed at least in estab lishing the fact that the people in Kansas are not half as silly and impracticable as many people out of Kansas. We have lieard it repeated often—so often that we shall not attempt to defend ourselves for any mis statement in this particular—that the Lccompton Constitution is a great fraud, and tiiat those who sustain it become actual parties thereto, and are morally responsible with the original perpetrators thereof. We submit that there are two or three ways at least by xvlifch individuals have mantaiucd the legality and binding force of tho Con stitution in question: first it is politically \ sustained by tho Administration in Con- ] gress and throughout the States; secondly it is sustained, it seems, by a majority cif the : people of Kansas. Wc are willing to ad mit, for I lie sake of the 'argument that that majority was Opposed to the Constitution.— Vv o concede in this way that the people all voted at the election of delegates in June last, as they certainly did not, they would have chosen men, perhaps, of ultra free- State tendencies. But they had a line-spun theory that refusing to vote invalidated olcctions; that the majority was a kind of pack-mule, which could be loaded with all the powers of government and again un loaded at pleasure. They could not be made to see that one ballot under our sys tem is words-ten protests out-side the box. They simply made a mistake. By refusing to vote, consented that they should have no voice in tho government. They were sim ply political nonentities. Thus the Kansas Constitution was framed. The Convention had power to frame it. That power was plenary, absolute. Tho people roserved nothing to themselves. That was their omission on thf one hand, and their implied assent to results on the other. If they des ired control, and that the Constitution should be submitted to them for ratification or re jcclion, they could have said so, but they | did not. At last it appears they have waked up to the realization that the very best way in the world to conrlol elections is to secure a majority of the voters; that the surest way to get a government to suit themselves is to j help to make it. They have thus decided [ to go into the elections and exercise legal ' control, hw itono so. Thwy snsi tain tho rtptou Constitution! That is the tight nro then, parties to i No question of mor als is belter settled than that you cannot cure an error; you may repent and avoid its repetition, and thus effect the substantial ends of reform. In our judgment, the peo ple of Kansas have adopted this theory of tnofiil responsibility and duty, and have de termined at last that the liberties of the people are not altogether locked up in an instrument of their own making called a I Constitution. They have chosen to be sen sible—to elect Representatives— to elect a Governor ot their own—to confer officers of trust and honor conducted with the discharge of duties imposed upon their agents for ' their own benefit. We have a word of condolence, then to oflcr to our republican friends. They des ired an opportunity to get up a revolution in Kansas. With all their love of organic laws and their devotion to the constitutional forms, they still would not lose an occasion to revolutionize that government. But it is now in their own hands—elected by their votes under regulations prescribed by their own constitution. They cannot certainly think of pitching out their friends in order to instal again the border ruffians. That will never do. The game is blocked—it is a stalemate, a failure. They have not only endorsed the constitution, but they have as sumed the office of government under it. They should he denounced by the republi cans at once, or we shall be without a re publican party.— Wash. Union. THE ST. LAWKENCE HOTEL TRAGFDV.— Judge Allisrjn, in his charge to the jury in the case of Thos. Washington Smith, for the murder of Ischard Carter, in Philadelphia, lust November, makes uso of the following language on tho plea of insanity: "In order to justify a verdict of acquittal upon this ground, you must find that the de fendant, altheugh conscious of the act ho was about to perpetrate and its consequences, yet governed by an uncontrollable impulse, his will no longer in subjection to his reason, owing to tho excited and continued impetu osity of his thoughts; tho contused condi tion of a mind enfeebled by disease and goaded by a sense of grievous wrong; that he was wrought up to a frenzy bordering upon madness, which rendered him unable to control his actions or direct his move ments. If the tempest of grief and passion which swept over him prostrated tho strong man so that ho had no longer tho control 6f his will, he is not responsible to tho law for his acts; but if he was possessed of this restraining power, sufficient, if called into exorcise, to slay the hand which took the life of Richard Carter, and the defendent were otherwise sano to a degree of responsibility for crime, then ho is guilty of the ofience charged against liirn, and ought to be con victed of wilful, deliberate, and premeditat ed murder." Smith was acquitted yesterday on the ground of insanity, and his sister has applied to the court to have charge of him. REVIVAL or MANUFACTURING BUSINBI-S. —A Ictier from Lowel to tho Boston Traveller, says: "The spindle city Is gradually resum ing its steady hum of industry and wonted businesslike appearance. With the excep tion of tho unfortunate Middlesex—most of the mills are in a running condition, giving the operators from two-thirds to lull timo. All departments of tho immense iron works at Boonton resumiug work on Mon day. For the last two months only the blast furnaces have been in operation, the pud dling furnaces, nail fadtory. keg factory, &c., being closed. Tho number of hands em ployed, when these works are in full blast, is something over SOO. Tho Fall River Mills, 9,000 spindles, at Providence, is running full time on print cloths. So is the Anawau Mill, also 9000 spindles, making print cloths. These mills have been miming full lime for a month or more. The Metacomet is also running full time. The Iron works of Cresson, Stuart & Peter son, at Philadelphia, have renewed opera tions, employing 170 hands. Tho number of workmen will bo increased in a few days t o 325. INDIANS IN ARMS.—A letter to the Cincin nati Gazette, daied Lawrence, Kansas Terri tory, January 18, says: "There is serious difficulty with the Indians on Shawnco Res ervation, near Franklin, a few miles from this place. Their selections of lands are not yet made public, sw they regard alll tho whito settlers as intruders, and feel bitterly tC'wards them. Two or three days, since, a fend, which had existed for some time be tween Schouter, a white settler, and Ned I'oolcy, an Indian, resulted in a collision between armed bands of eight or ten on both sides. SchouleP was badly stabbed and he shot Tooley dead on the spot. "The Indians, wrought up to desperation by revenge, prepared for extreme measures of retaliation. Last night an armed body of a hundred and fifty of thein surrounded tho country, drove off tho familes of the settlers, and burned eight or ten dwellings." THE ARMY BII.L —The bill for raising additional regiments for the army meets with considerable opposition in Congress. Some of the members think that volunteers can be more readily raised when they are wanted,, and more easily dispensed wiih when their services arc over. This reasoning rests on the presumption that the country, after the Utah troudle is settlsd, will not need the new troops, yet General Scoot, in his anual report, says this augmentation would no more than iumish the reinforcements now greatly needed in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, California, Oragon, Washington Territory, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota, leaving not a company for Utah. Volunteers may be best for sudden emergencies, but the recent troubles in Oregon and Washing ton territories, and the present difficulty in Utah, proved that our army is not sufficient for the protection of the people in those distant regions. The Indians would never have committed the depredations they have done in Oregon and "Washington if there had tefen an adequate of United States troops stationed thero. The voluntoor force that ordered not in those territories will pro bably cost the government six millions of dollars, as that is the claim made by the com mission. This would bo sufficient to sup port five regiments in that territory for four years. If it is desirable to extend our ter ritory it certainly is necessary to increase the army, which is required to protect its borders. It can scarcely be expected that a force which was cuificicnt before we ac quired our Pacific possessions, will be sufficient now that we have added so many thousand miles to our border line. The whole force of the army at the present lime is 13,575, scattered over the entire country. The array of Utah is composed of 1,887 men, set out with a probability that they may come into collision with 12,000 Mormons. DEATH OF JOSEPH STEELE, ESQ. —Joseph Steele, Esd., the venerable Father of Senator Steele, died at Hanover, Luzerne county, on Tuesday, the 19th instant, in the 86th year of his age.
