WidassdayMorning, Dezember 17, 1816 Kans..—The escape of thirty-one prison era from Lecompton jail, is confirmed by a Westport correspondent of the St. Louis Re public., who says that the other sixteen prisoners would also have got off, but that one of them accidentally stumbled against a sen. tiuel. The same authority gives a statement :purporting to show the vote cast for Whitfield for delegate to Congress at the farcical elec. 'lion held by the Missourians. It foots up a total of 4276, no less than 1458 of these pm , porting to be cast in Leavenworth, which nev er contained more than 1200 inhabitants, men women and children, of whom two-thirds are opposed to Whitfield and all his crew. At the same time, 2592 votes were cast for a Con vention to frame a State Constitution, and 454 against. Since the restoration of peace, Lea,. enworth seems to be going ahead prosperously 'end property brings high rate. Prompt Settlement. —Oa dit, that a man was recently knocked down in a railroad car, in New York, for insisting upon "taking the sense of the company" upon the election of 1860. In the sense in which people are said to be Indoctrined, be was in -sensed, as to the sense of one of the incensed passers. We cannot help thinking it was a well deserved infliction ; for a man who could venture, at this early day, to anticipate the excitement of four years hence, ought, in regard to the peace of the community, to be expostulated with. Wino is Sectional.—Fremont has carried all the Free States except five. One is the sec• tionalism of Slavery—the other of Freedom.— Fremont's majority in the free States is over '2so,ooo—Buchanan's majority in the slave States 175,000. Look at the figures. The Rupublicans vote for Freedom, and in a Re. public Freedom is National ; the Buchaneers vote for Slavery, and in a Republic must be Sectional ; else the Republic has no claim to the name. Who is sectional, then, we ask ? airTwenty•two more of the Kansas Free. soil prisoners are said to have escaped from the Lecomptm jail. A report had been car ried into Missouri that they had been Ebert'. ted by a mob of •'Abolitioniate," but the St. Louis Intelligencer contradicts this, and says that the prisoners effected their own liberation on. Judge Cate was busy at Tecumseh try ng the remtiniug sixty Free•soil cases. Stiir A noteable article appears in a Into number of the Detroit I'ree Press, the home organ of Gen. Cass. It charges upon the Southern democracy the present hopeless con dition of the Northern democracy, and denoun ces the Kansas outrages as well as the course of the National Administration, in good set terms. A good many Northern democrats, like Gen. Case, feel that it is time to "settle accounts" with the South. "For three Sundays lately," says an Trish paper, "a raffle was held within the chap. el at Ballybrack, the priest himself presiding. A. watch and a Douay Bible wore raffled for on Sunday, Sept. 14th. Great numbers were present to contribute their shilling or sixpences and to witness the throwing of the dice. The object of the raffle was to raise money to dec orate the chapel with pictures and images.— Ballyhrack was the scene of fightingand drunk enness during the remainder of the Lord's day. The Screwing of the Future.—The "Princi• ple," a new spiritualist organ, in a bit of poe. try called Excelsior makes the following astoun ding anntuncernent "Upward and onward the Spirit is tending 'Upward and onward in spirals we go." We have been taught to believe that "man is but a vapor," but we were not prepared for the startling announcement that our ghosts "go off like smoke"—from a chimney top, or that, poor mortals ! "upward and onward in spirals we go," like a fancy table-leg. Won. der whether the Principle in ncrew-pull.usly correct. Democracy in Washing/On.—The Buchanan party in Washington city celebrated the elec. Lion of their candidate a few days ago by a procession, and the usual accompaniments:— In the procession a banner was borne aloft, inscribed with the motto : Sumner and Liao• sae—let them bleed! This was paraded in o• pen daylight, to the enduring shame of the community and the party which countenanced each atrocious and heartless sentiments. Accounts from Oregon represent the sxtst• once of much discouragement and dissatisfac• tins among the settlers, and say that thousands of them will return to the States, as grasehop. peis haie destroyed all the crops. Ott the other hand, the Colville gold micro bid fair to prove a second California. Thousands will Beek to them as soon as a peace is made with the Indians. florThe three Washburn's are ra-elected and all by majorities "large enough for all practical purposes;" Israel Washburn, Jr., of. Maine, by over five thousand ; Cadwalader C. Washburn, from Wisconsin, by eight thousand; and Elam B. Washburn, from Galena district, Illinois, by one of 11,672 l These three gee. tletnen are brothers. J& The slave revolt, of which so many plots have been lately discovered in many parts of the South, seems to have actually broken out in southern Kentucky, where the negroes bad attacked the Iron Works, and a general iceur• melon was feared. •'AR HONEST MAN'S TEE NOBLEST IVORK OF GOD.' "Can these things be ; And overcome us like a summer's aloud, Without our special wonder." Our attention has been directed to an ar ticle in the last Hol. Whig, which it true, proves that John W. Forney, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, sum moned the Fillmore editors to Philadelphia before the election, to consult with them on the political affairs of the campaign. Then indeed may we safely infer that the honest part of the Filmore party of this county has been betrayed into the support of the Locofoco party, by the editors of the “American" newspaper. published in this place; or, why should the Filmore ed itors be summoned to Philadelphia, to make terms with the Locofoco Chairman? Have the honest men of the American party been sold, like the slave upon the block. The article m the Whig looms up with powerful suspicion against the integ. city of the man Barr of the 'American." We should like to know what business he had with Forney's checks Let the *Amer icons of the county read the article from the Whig, in another column. The Southern Convention. SAVANNAH, DCC. 12. The Convention reassembled today, and a dopted resolutions in favor of ihe completion of a railroad from the Chattahoochee river, by way of Montgomery, Jackson, Vicksburg and Shaversport, to corinnect with the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The resolutions in favor of restoring the African slaie trade were again brought forward for discussion, and an anima• ted debate thereon ensued. They were final ly postponed indefinitely. A committee was appointed to obtain statistical information for the use of the next Convention. Nothing else of importance was done. The best feeling prevails. The Conventian will adjourn sine die tomorrow. Many members have already left. The most important business of the Con vention thus far hen been the refusal to take up from the table where they had been laid , the resolutions in fitrar of re-opening the Afri• van slave trade. The States which voted against this props. sal, were Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana North Carolina Florida, Alabama and Maryland, and those which favored and advocated the resoln• lions were South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. It was evident from the first introduce lion of the resolves, that a large majority of the members were strenuous], opposed to them and hence every attempt to agitate them was quickly disposed of. The proposition for the erection of schools in the South for the education of seamen, was adopted. SON" The steamship Texas has arrived at New Orleans, from San Juan, bringing two weeks' later news from Nicaragua and Calif°, nia. The vote of California stands: Bach• anon 60,000 ; Fillmore 35,000 Fremont 19,- .000. The Democrats have a majority in both , houses of the California Legislature. In Nitwit ragua General Walker has been successful in a series of battles wills the combined forces of the Central American States. There had been tour days hard fighting at Malaya, and after it Walker returned to Granada, which city he meat utterlf destroyed, removing the I capital to Rivas. This does not agree very well with the accounts of victor] . A Costa Rican Brig of war engaged in battle with a large Nicaraguan naval vessel, was blown up end destroyed with all on board. It is alleg ed that the combined forces have lost 3000 men in the various battles since October—but that was more than they had altogether in the I field, and as they still are in force, the accounts are evidently merely sent hither to gain r - cruits for Walker. llfirlt is said that the Republican Senators of Indiana will follow the example set by the Democrats two years ago, and refuse to go in. to joint ballot for the election of a U. S. Senator. Thus Indiana will be totally unrep- resented after the fourth of March, 1857, in the Senate. ge- We regret to learn that Beak Esq., of Lancaster, has become deranged.

The Postmaster General's report shows the number of Poet Offices June 30, 1856, to have been 25,565, being an increase of 4,664 in four years. On the 30th of June there were in op. oration nearly 8000 mail routes, the total length being nearly 235,641 miles, costing $6,035,474, divided as follows :-20,323 miles by railroad ,• 14,851, by steamboat ; 50,453 by coach ; and nearly 154,000 by inferior grades. The in crease during the last fiscal year was nearly 7,000 by railroad, 332 by steamboat, 1,250 by coach, and 82,000 miles by inferior glade.. In Nebraska and Kansas 2,238 miles were added to the length of the routes. Between the first of Jnly t 1852, and July, 1856, the railroad service was increased 10,177 miles, exhibiting the fart that this description of service was more than doubled. Cu the Let of December 1856, the length of the railroad routes had increased to 21,310 miles. The total coat for this service at the t date amounted to $2,403,737. The whole cost of inland service of the first of July was $6,526,028. The Post Master General alludes to the Pa nama Railroad Company, seizing on the occa sion of the withdrawal of the steamers via Nic aragua to force the Department to pay what he considers an exorbitnut price across the Isthmus, and recommends a regular contract at not exceeding $50,000 per annum and a contract at not exceeding $200,000 per annum. via Nicamuga and Tehuantepec, so as to give a weekly mail to California. The 'expenditures fur the year 1856 Were $10,405,286, and the gross revenue, including the annual appropriations for free matter, $7,- 620,821, leaving a deficiency of 2,787,000. The report recommends the abolition of the franking privilege and the compulsory prepay. went on all transient mailed matter. Also the repeal of the act of 1845, which gives the Yost master General the discretionary authority to make new contracts for Ocean Steamship ser vice, and alludes to the fact embracing the branch from New Orleans to Havana, that there are now four ocean steamship lines run ning ant of New York, at an expense to the government of $1,490,000 per annum. No reason is perceived why one part of the country should be preferred to the exclusion of others. Among other points it is stated that negotia tions are iu progress with a view to the reduc tion of the British transept charges on the Uni ted States closed mails, and the rate of postage between the United States and Great Britain, to 127} cents for single letters. Abstract of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. During the last fiscal year, the receipts icto the Treasury wore $73,918,141 16, being an excess of the estimate, which was $67,918,734 26, With the balance in the Treasury from the previous year, the aggregate of available funds amounted to 392,850.117 47. The ex• pendituree of the year reached $72,948,720 U 2, being in excess ut the estimate, which was $71,226,846 91. The balance in the Trott. sury at the close of the year was $19,901,325 45 a g ainst a previous estimate of $15,623,863 36. The actual and estimated receipts et the cur rent year reach pretty much the Caine figure as above, and calculate ou a balance of $22 ; 745,222 81 being in the Treasury on the 30th of June, 1857. The national debt, which, on the advent of the administration, was 369,127,936 27, and was subsequently increased by the sum of $71,- 879,000, has since beets reduced to the sum of $30,963,909 64. In addition, however, we ~iagyets l i ,ab i l itt„Hi l eSif,"%ittegetqet tiggingi payable, constitutes an item of annual expendi torn, and is 'estimated fur by the luteriur De. paqin en 1. Much of the report is speculative on the de. wand and supply of various kinds of goods, and the progressive domestic product of the various kinds referred to; all, of course, haviur reference to the Secretary's views in favor of a. reduction of the tariff mt imports, which he a• gain presses upon the attention uf Congress, us lie did in all his former reports. ile especially favors the removal of the duties on wool and other raw materials. '1 he annual tonnage statement shows an a g . gregate of 340,349 maritime tonnage, which to less than the previous yearly statement. But this is accounted for from the fact of there ha. sing burn a thorough revision of the records of formes years, the correction of errors, etc. The revised statements of former years show a reg. ular progressive increase with our commerce and population. The total gold and silver coinage of the U. S. Mint, since its establishment in 1703, is $549,341,914 14; and the entire import of guld and silver since 1820 has been $293,505,743, and the export $53,507,354 ; thers being no ac• count of the imports and exports prior to 1820. There ara 1398 State banks, with a chartered capital of $344,000,000, and a circulation of nearly $200,000,000. 'rho Secretary does not deem it desirable to dispense with these, but says that the smaller denominations of notes should be withdrawn. The Superintendent of the Mint estimates the gold and silver remain. ing in the country at $200,000,000, while the Secretary estimates it at $250,000,000. The report devotes snitch apace to the consideration of currency, bunking and kindred matters. NOTICE.
