SAM. G. WHITTAKER. 5
So We Go.
"Gen Pierce believes his chance for a nomi
nation Mini the Son th b.: for now than ever.—
'Wise is sanguine that Virginia will stand by
bim."
So runs a late despatch front WaAington.
We think Nix. Pierce is right, and air. Wise con
rect also in hie conclusions.
Why should not the chances of Mr. Pierce at
the South grow better and better? Why should
not slaveridden—slave•ruined 4 irgiuia, stand
fast by the Executive ?
If there is any gratitude is the South—nay
if she be not blinded to her own interests, she
will clamor for the renomination of the Presi
dent, for he has done all that the veriest Hot.
spur might, to extend the area of chains and
fetters.
He has broken down a wall which the path•
ota of other days erected, to please the South.
He has immolated hie own friendsand appoint
ees and brought their heads in a charger atthe
bidding of the "Mother of States"—struck
down Northern River Improvements, and ap
proved those in Southern States—and all to pro
pitiate the chivalry of the South.
We confess Mr. Pierce's "chances" are infin
itely better than any other candidate for the
southern vote. Ile is a supple tool in power,
while Douglas k Co.are cringing when seeking
after it, but may nut be trusted, perhaps, when
the reins are committed to their hands.
If Dir. Pierce should be deserted by the South
the cause must be beyond the human power to
solve.
A Letter from Kamm.
We give an abstract of a letter received from
Kanzas, as containing matters of interest to
our readers :
ICANEAB TERRITORY, OCT. 19, 1855.
"We have had our election, and elected our
representative to Congress—Gov. Reeder—al
most unanimously. The pro-slavery party hod
their electien on the Ist Monday of October, in
which we took no part. To give you an idea
of how matters were conducted, I will give you
the 'tote of Douiphan City. In their election,
1560 votes wereßolled l when, in reality, as has
been proven by' our election, they bad but
60 I Previous tat the free state party elec§pp i
circulars containing the announcement
death of Reeder were extensively circulated,
having for their object his defeat. We howev
er had made up our minds to elect him, and
wo did. Our present Governor, Shannon, is a
miserable apology of what a northern freeman
should be. He is a perfect administration tool;
and if Pierce is zealous in his endeavors to
please the South, and introduce cursed slavery
into oar midst, Shannon is no less so in his ex
ecuting his commands. The free-born northern
men, who constitute seven-eighths of the pop
ulation of the Territory•, have determined that
it shall be free, and we will carry our determin
ation into effect despite Missouri bowie knives,
and other 'Administration arguments.'
The country around here is very healthy, and
I have never saw a better for agricultural pur
suits. If you want a fine farm, just come here
and if you are not pleased with the country
it will lie a strange thing," abc., Sze.
Ten GROWTH or ICANsse.—Lawrence City,
Kansas, which, little more than a year ago,
had not a single hut nor inhabitant has now one
hundred and twenty log cabins and frame'
houses, three or four large and substantial
atone stores, a large stone hetet, three saw-mills
in constant operation, from twenty to thirty
stone and wooden edifices in process of con
struction, three large weekly , newspapers, pub
lished regularly, religious services held regular.
ly eiery Sabbath by the Baptist, Congregation.
al, Methodist, United Brethren and Unitarian
denominations, and lies an industrious, ener
getic, and moral population of between eight
and nine hundred persons. it would grow fas
ter if sufficient lumber and workmen could be
procured, but the mills cauuot supply the de
mand for the former, and a scarcity of hands
prevents the stone edifices from going up as
fast as they are needed. Abundance of stone
is found in the immediate vicinity of the city.
No church is yet erected, the eongeregations
holding their meetings in secular buildings.—
The various sects support a 'lesion" Sunday
school, which is attended by fifty children.—
Marriageable ladies are in great demand, not
more than one-fourth of the population being
females. Of the adult males one 7 sixth are
graduates of colleges and universities, and a
majority are church members. The Kansas
Athreneum has a large membership and a re
spectable library. The city is one mile square
and the streets running east and west are na
med after the revolution,...) , leaders and sages,
:while those roasting north and south are nam
ed after various States on both sides of Mason
and Dixon's line. Here is a picture of the fa
mous Free Soil city of Lawrence. The account
from which we take it says that female domes
tics are very much seeded there. Now, as all
our northern cities are swarming with a surplus
of that kind of population, it would bo a work
of benevolence if some of the Aid Societies
would send to Kansas a number of them. The,
excess of males there is the same as exists in
most of the new settlements of the West, and
arise. irons the the large expense attending
the emigration of families. Hence single mon
are more numerous than married uses among
the emigrants. A remedy will, bower, soon be
found, as Kansas is nearer to the source of
supply than is California where the same diffi
catty has existed for soveral years past.

CONTEMPTIBLE, VERY.—The Globe of
last week publishes a shilly shally article
to the effect that we "are opposed to en
couraging our own mechanics," and as
serts we .took the liberty of striking out a
paragraph," in the report of4levimmit
tee on mechanical implementit Mills, we
pronounce a malignant false , otten
up for the purpose of servin o . petty
private end. We publish,' the repoirt of
the committee entire, word for word ; and
our neighbor to have asserted we did not,
evidenced that littleness of soul, so clar
acteristic of a Locofoco petty officeholder,
under the Pierce dynasty. It is perfectly
unmanly, to say the least of it, for the ed •
itor of the Globe to stoop to falsehood to
improve his business. We hapc he will
again examine our file and do us the jun.
tice of correcting his statement.
Which of the two offices has encoura
ged our mechanics the most? We noticed
at length the various articles on exhibition,
whilst the Globe cut it off in a sickly half
column of hypocritical flattery of its sup
porters, we presume for lack qf room, and
yet can devote a whole column in encomi
ums upon infidel Tom Payne ! us in last
week's paper.
We ask nothing more than justice, and
if the Globe man has any honorable prin.
ciple about him, he will not fail to correct
his statement that we left out a portion
of the above named committee's report.—
Shame of paper which would deal in
falsehood make capital.

.‘A SMALL BUSINESS. " -Under this cap
tion the Globe makes an attack upon us
for "leaving out the word beautiful" in the
notice of a card from his printing estab
lishment. Now here is another face on
the matter. We had intended placing on
exhibition a sample of our job work, but
when we understood that neither of the
r other offices would exhibit specimens, we
gave up the idea. We were informed by
the einpliyees of the Globe that they did
not intend exhibiting anything ! and knew
no better until the notice of the committee.
Had the Globe desired us to notice the fact
that it had received a supply of type, and
was thus able to "do" a job without bor
rowing our type, we would have done so,
cheerfully.

MILNWOOD ACADEMY.
One who lately witnessed an exhibition of
the progress made by the students or Milnwood

for that Institution the patronage of parents,
who desire for their sons a thorough education.

public exhibition alluded to, which reflected

strict disciplinarian, his rules are reasonable,
and are net to be broken with impunity. Al.
though sufficient time for" exercise is allowed,
the students are required to be at their desks in
the sehool•room in the forenoon and afternoon,
and also for two hours at' night. They are re•

Sr. Louis, Nov. 2.
A most horrible railroad accident occurred
this morning. I send you ha slily all the par

sons have been killed and wounded. '
A train of eleven cars started, this morning,
on the Pacific Railroad, bearing the excursion•
iota to the celebration of the opening of the
road at 'Jefferson city.
The excursionists reached the Gasconade
river bridge, when the bridge gave way, and
ten corn with their living freight were precipi•
fitted into the river.
Vhcre we're, without doubt, about seven hen.
deed persons in these care, and not more than
two hundred escaped uninjured.
The following persons are known to be a
mong the . dead :

A corr,spondent nt the Notion I maul,
writes thus to the New York Doily Tirees:
"The State Department has thus far cocci
ved no statements from the ownemof the barque
Amelia, of a date subsetpient to her acizare et
Port an Prince. No effort probably will lay
made to detain the vessel and cargo, because
of her supposed filibuster character. Of course
Mr. Oeltsinith had a perfect tight to sell the
arms and ammunition on board ()flier, if they
belonged to him, and ho was so disposed.—
Neither our Commercial Agent nor any other
officer of the United Staten could interfere with
that right, nor has the officer referred tonitemp•
ted it. But if, for any other reason, the Anse.
lia is amenable to the penalty of violated law,
Mr. Oaksmith's rights are subject thereto. Jn
other words, it is true, as charged, that she
cleared from New York twlerfalse papers, and
the Commercial Agent Was clothed with autho
rity to arrest her on behalf of the United States,
bemuse of that irregularity, then, whatever
right Mr. Oaksmith had to sell, is alibied, to
the action of tae United States, and if tin; lat
ter condemn the vessel and cargo, of course the
latter owners come off Min..
The government has satislhelory proof that
the Amelia's papers were fillse, in sonic re
spects at least. But the question is under die.
cession whether the Cuited States Commercial
Agent at Port no Prince had the legal power to
intercept her for violation of the revenue laws.
From the symptoms visible I inelibo to the
opinion that this question will be decided affir
matively; although that is not yet clear.

call them—lately occupied by Dervishers, the

fanatics—and other immense buildings, have
been converted into hospitals ; the sarhe at

transport or steamer returns without bringing
