KANSAS AFFAIRS. - Lawrence, Kansas, Oct. 2D, 1060. .. Yesterday, the 2Ctli, a mass convention was holden at Big Springs (a settlement midway between Lawrence and Topcka) for the purpose of choosing a delegate to contest the seat of Whitfield against that of Reeder, for tho remainder of the present session, and to represent in Congress this oppressed community. Philip C. Schuyler officiated as Chairman, and Wm. Hutchinson, of Lawrence, Secretary. Upon taking the chair Schuyler made a brief address, urging upon them the importance of the object to be accomplished, and demonstrated to them the absolute necessity of being united in the choice of their nominee. Reeder was their choice from the first, but owing to his present position in Congress, a difference of opinion arose concerning the propriety of the nomination ; upon balloting, however, it was found that Reeder hnd by far tho largest number the number of votes being for him 108, whilst those of the next highest competitor 35 several others had a few scattering votes, among whom was (ien. romeroy, who having but three votes to boast of, generously declined in favor of his more successful opponent. There is yet considerable excitement concerning the safety of Free State men from the visitation of Marshals, Sheriffs, fec, who, it seems, Gov. Geary still deems it his duty to send in different directions, ferreting out the name and persons of all those who had the audacity to take up arms in self-defense against a bloodthirsty, man-scalping, inhuman foe, I mentioned in my last that the Governor was on a tour to Sugar Creek, Ossawataraie, and other settlements, towards the southeastern part of the country. Rumors are afloat that the officers who accompanied him have, in compliance with orders issued from him arrested twenty and upwards of Free State citizens, who are to be taken to Lecomp-ton and thrust into those already filled prison rooms. The idea'that twenty more of our men, who, for the crime of resisting the felonious attacks upon their persons and property, should be thus arrested by the Governor's orders and confined in such an unheard of manner, to be obliged probably to wait for the next sitting of the Court which is in the spring, without being able to speak a word in their own defense or support, is one calculated to rouse the Litem energies in the bosoms of those remaining, if any there yet remain which have not been called into action long ago. The want of pure air and e x roise, causes much physical suffering among the prisoners, and is a matter of some moment wlielher or not if a person is charged with any crime, and is confined a United St'ite3 prisoner, by United States authori y, they abould have a place tuffioiinlly comfortable to preserve life until at least it can be proved that they aro guilty of the charge preferred against them. "Submission," however, is the lesson to be lcarcm d for the present, though the patience of the men is well nigh exhausted. The trial is supposed to commence to morrow, though so many times have been appointed which resulted in failure, they have but littli; liopes of its being more than rumor. The Governor certainly exerts himself to win the favor of the people of Kansas by his pleasantries whilst in their midst, though many of them cannot forget the profound dignity with which he clothes himself wlilst in Lecompton, surrounded by his satiii ies. During his tours through ti.e country he makes it his particular du'y to visit the house of every settler which he passes, thereby acquainting himself more thoroughly with their past sufferings, their present condition, and their (certainly at (his particular time) gloomy forebodings for the fu'ure. Our only hope ofp-'rmnnnt redress from ii.juries received is in the next Presidential election, and it is not eusy to imagine the deep and heaitfelt anxiety with which these liberty-loving sons of America await the result of the coming contest. To be conscious that one's file rests entire-ly in the power of disinterested persons far away from the scenes of our sufferings, and in those hands which even if it were possible for them to know a little, cannot realize the half, and yet not allowed louse at the ballot-box the right of raising a feeble voice in his favor requires no little firm-1 ness of character and steadfast nesr of nnn . cuole. , They, however, place unbounded confidence in the assurances of their friends . At the .North and West that every effort will be made lor the amelioration of their present grievances. Tbere will be very much suffering, and probably die loss of many lives the earning winter, owuig to inc uesumie circumstances of very any of the settlers; but none can imagine the thankfulness with which the clothing will be received by those needing it. Already some has arrived, and to witness the silent tear of gratitude, for the remembrauccs of and sympathies with them, courso down the sunken cheek of the invalid, or to see the bursts of joy manifested by the children, as indistinct ideas of comfort flit through their little brains as they see piles of little articles ready foi dis-bursion among them, is certainly a scene not a little impressive, and one which causes us once sgain to pause and reflect upon the cause for this self-sacrifice. God grant their faith may be strengthened daily to enable them to pursue an unwavering course in the performance of their ardu ous and imperative duties, and their firm Adherence to the principles of right and justice. , - The weather is very fine, and the workmen of every trade aro now busily employed in their respective occupations. Loth churches are now progressing after a long pause. Yesterday the "Hotel was sgain commenced upon, or, rather, they commenced enlarging the cellar for a new hotel, which will be immediately erected, to bo of concrete as its predecessor, but we hope not, like that, doomed to be des'royed by the hands of a ruthless mob. The school room under the Unitarian Church (Mr. NuU'i) will probably be complete in six or even weeks, when tho New England youths can again enjoy the blessing! they have so long been deprived of, and to the Western a tiny of light will bo dawning.the splendor of which, hnd they always remained in Westerndom, they would never have enjoyed. Emigrants nre daily arriving in small parties, who are determined that Kansas, in future, is to bo their abode. We hail them with pleasure. The first paper of the Herald of Freedom is to bo in circulation to-morrow. Yours, in haste, Precision. Correspondence) of tho Missouri Democrat. Lawrence, K. T., Oct. 29, 185G. Matters here look decidedly dreary, and tho returns from Pennsylvania nnd Indiana are not wtll calculated to throw sunshine into our dorkness. I sny this with due de'erence to the opinions of your journal. But the Freo State people are blessed with a largo amount of hopefulness, nnd they are still sustained with tho hope that the man wlinhas pledged himself to make Knnras n free State may bo elected. They regard the cry of "Buchanan, Bncken-ridge and Free Kansas" ns a miserable and ridiculous hoax, got up for electioneering purposes at the Njrth, in order to deceive those who are silly enough to be deceived by it. The trials of tho Free Stato men for murder still go on. I was there the other day when four men were on trial for "assault and battery with intent to kill," because they happened to be in a battle with pro-slavery men in the north part of the territory. They were acquitted, but before they could lnve Lecompton, three of them wera re-arrested and charged with murder! I stale these facts to show you how our judiciary is managed. If a man cannot bo convicted on one indictmcnt,they try him on another. The court goes on very slowly, and up to this time but one man has been convicted. I had an interview with Col. Titus, and glaned from him some opinions about the Presidential question, and as he doubtless speaks for the whole border ruffian party, I will write some of them. He says, if Fremont is elected, he will "take up his bed and walk." Good! He said further, that if Buchanan waselected of which he had not the least doubt he would advise every Free Slate man in the territory to do the same thing. 1 referred to the cry at (he North of "Buchanan, Buckenringe and Free Ktnsa-;" whereupon he assured me that Buchanan wns p edged to the r-'outh to make Kansas a Wave State, and that wou'd he the result. He admitted to me that he believed Kansas wa3 not adapted for slave labor, but that it must be made a slave State to preserve the b dance of power Hnd that the South would have it at any cost. TttU3 is decidedly a good-looking man, but even according to his own bhowirg, his life hasb en one of reckless adventure; nnd his conversation shows to the least casual observer, that he believes that might makes ritrht. Hence he is n dangerous man, He hns good points in his cha meter, of course. 1 noticed that he was polite and courteous to strangers, that he would listen to adverse sentiments and arynm-nls with perfect composure. He spoke of hit lo-ses during the war with tho coolness of a martyr, but he seemed to look upon the wholo question here as a grand scheme in the lottery of life, nnd that the drawing on the 4'.h of November, wculd decide who were the winners. My opinion is that there aro worse men among the ruffians than Titus. The prison in which lie Free State men arc confined is truly a horiiblc place. It is a fi nine houst, poorly enclosed, without windows, and su rounded on all side.s with tilth and the li'us nitlitu. I ent to sec the prisoners, but found I could not get in, without a pass Irom Col. J ltus. Si vera! men came to the door to Fee me. I talk cd with them a few moments, two sentinels passing backwards and forwards b.tweon us the while. Presently, a chap with sword came and told us that we could not talk ovi r the lines. About the last of July, when coming T ' i .1. IT . .. a irom oi. j,oui3 to tun piace, i met on (lie steamboat a young man from St. Charles, Mo., by the name of William Bowles. He was going to the Territory in company with ins uromer to una a new In. me. lie was a Free State man. quiet, gentlemanly nnd intelligent. W lien the last raid wns made upon the settlers of the Territory, Mr. B thought it to bo bis duty to join the Free otato army under .Lane. lie was among the one hundred and odd who were made prisoners by the order of Gov. Gearv The miserable food and exposure, nnd the loathsome nature of the prison, induced a terrible clnease, resembling yellow fever, which carried him away in two days. Oth ers grew sick, and though no more have died, yet there is no denying the fact that the sickness which exists there, more or less among the prisoners all tho time, can be accounted for in no other way, than by the treatment which they receive. Last Saturday, a woman a Mrs. Pal-rick, the wife of a Scotchman passod through this city on her way to Lecompton to see her husband in prison. Eleven weeks ago her husband left home and joined the Free State army, and she did not Itear of him till two weeks since, when she heard he was in prison. She then placed her (wo children in the care of a pro slavery neigh bor and started on foot to Lecompton. blto and her children had lived mostly on green corn and vegetables tho greater part of the time. When these failed her she was reduced almost to actual starvation As a lcet resort sho betrired for some flour of a government tenmster.

LIFE IN KANSAS. The following is nn extract of a letter from a friend in Kansas, dated Oct. 3: "1 have had two good horses killed, worth $300, and a yoke of oxen, worth 100. We have had people in our house, whether we have been sick or well, ever since April, numbering from three to 12. Some have paid some have not. Our women are worked down to the last point. We have one bedstead ; all others sleep on straw beds, scattered over the floors, above nnd below. Our house nnd accommodations, rough nnd poor as they are, seem very desirable lo many, who came to stay with us after being burnt out nnd losing everything, 1) ing out of doors for weeks or months without blankets or tents, nnd getting sick. While 1 was absent, my family expected to be burnt cut every n:ght. Several neighbors' houses were burnt, and all were threatened. My wife slept in her clo'hi s,in readin- ss lo leave at a moment's warning. Somo hou;cs were sot on fire, and ns tho men ran out they were fired at. Somo were followed two or three mile, and finally escaped, destitute of all clothing except their shirts. As the women came out they were searched (not rudely.) One had $G00 in a bag, which was taken from her. "Several persons left, Kansas yesterday to return to a Free State five men, one insnne, two crippled; one they left dead at , two women and two children. The women hnd not undressed for two weeks from apprehension of violence. It finally came. Their houses were nil burnt, their property destroyed, one of them killed in cold blood, and all of them driven off. My God I it is enough to make one weep tears of blood to witness the sufferings of the Free Siatemcn in Kansas, "I saw the on ) who is partially insane last summer (in July) in chains, with several others, marching with an escort of dra goons, thirty miles, in ono of tho hottest days, without food or water, upon the charge of treason, for being found in arms and offering to defend Lawrence. "After knowing nil these things and many more, we consider ourselves among those blessed by Providence, for we have yet a shelter. We expected to sell many things to supply ourselves with groceries, clothing, ike; but everything that we could take to ma:ket had to be given to feed the Free-State soldiers. There was no money to supply their necessities. Tho consequence is, we can buy no clothes this winter, nor send our children to school; but if nothing further happens, I trust we shall be able to get through the winter, and we must take the more pains to tench tho children at home. I estimate my losses by the wars at $700. We do not feel discouraged do nil we can to check revenge and bring men back from brutes to human beings. We expect to slay to the end Providence permitting." Bottom of the Atlantic The steamer Artie sounded the Atlantic all the way across, finding the greatest depth 2,070 fathoms, (more than two miles.) The bed of the ocean, in the sec tion traversed by tho Arctic, is a plateau, as already nnnounccd by Captain Berry-man, who hnd twice before sounded across the Atlantic. Tho bottom in the deeper part is a very fine mud, of a mousegray color, so soft that tho sounding instruments frequently sunk several feet into tho mud. They brought up specimens of the bottom, at every sounding, in quills which were attached to the end of the soundin-' instrument. Towards tho shore on each, side, this mud changes into a fine green ocze. No other substances were met, no rock, nor anything that might prove fatal to a telegraphic wire. There seems to be now nothing lo hinder tho great work, to nnite Europe to America by means of a telegraph wire ; an undertaking so grand that few thought it possible. The whole distance nerofs was found to bo 1,61(1 sen miles, from St. John, New Foundland, to Valentin Harbor, Ireland. The greatest depth was found nearly in the centre between these two places. Tho profile of the Atlantic bed, on this route, is of by far easier grnde than many of our Railroad profiles. .V. i". Journal of Comment. 5T Marry the nicest girl you know.

New things are not always true things, but when a new thing hns been in a great measure proved to be both good and useful, it bus n fair claim to have its excellence still further tested by thoso who have time nnd facilities for the purpose. We are induced to make these remarks, from following, ns they have occurred from time lo lime m the papeis, accounts of the celebrated Chinese Sugar Cane. When wo remember that a great portion of the beet vegetables, fruits and grains in daily use were once strnngers to us nnd to our ancestors, nnd that they were obliged to stand the test of experiment or introduction to a new climate, it may well be asked if it be not worth while to make some effort to render common a plant which will possibly enable us to raise all our own sugar. Early and satisfactory experiments with the Chinese Sugar Millet, Sugar Cane or Sugar Broom Corn, were made in Georgia by Governor Hammond, with the result that seventy-five plants will yield six gallons of juice, which will make ono gallon of syrup; while on nn acre of land that will make a bale of cotton, thirty to forty thousand such canes may be grown. As the experiment in boiling down, upon which this estimate is based, was conducted in the most inartificial and rudest manner, the inference is strong that with proper ma chinery a much higher proportion of syrup would be obtained. In tho New Yo;k Evening Post of the 25th inst., we find a further account of this lcmnikable production, from which we learn that Mr. Richard Peter, of Georgia, who at first regarded the plant as a humbug, found by experiment that it was an article of immense value, showing that every farmer can now make syrup at a cost of from ten to tillcen cents a gallon; rate of syrup per acre, four hundred and sixty-eight gallons. The writer furnishing these facts appears to have satisfactorily experimented with it himself.in the vicinity of N. York. He declares that the plant is quite hnrdy, and that up to the 22d October the frost had not affected it. From another source we have the statement that this Mr. Peters had made upwards of 300 gallons of this syrup. From the St. Louis R publican, we have the following relative to the cane in the West : "The experiments made by Maj ir Sibley, of St. Charles, and Mr. Geyer of this county, in tho culture of the sugar-cane, npponr to have been simultaneous with efforts made in other portions of the United States, and in higher latitudes. These gentlemen used the seed of the Japan and Chinese cane, nnd as we have already noticed exhibited at the recent St. Louis Fair, specimens of the cane and seed, together with samples of the syrup obtained by a process of their own. Mola-.srs has been made of it at New-Centre, Massachusetts. Tho cxpoiimen- lor, continuing the statement of wbley, submitted to the Agricultural Association that it can be cultivated anywhere south of latitude forly-two. Lut we.mustnot judge too rapidly of a plant which 13 certainly not as yet "settled down" to our climate nnd soil. In tho opinion of II. Dreer, seedsman and florist, who hns at present sugar cano growing nenr this ci'y, it wi grow wherever the ordinary Indian corn will flourish, but it increases in saccharine quality as it grew Soulh, nnd it is as yet a matter of doubt whether it will, in these Northern regions yield sugar enough to make it profitable. Wo must beware with all new discoveries, ot expecting too mucii. II tuo sugar corn can oniy no maue to flourish in tho States south of Virginia, and if it yields as much sugar ns the common cane, we have nn inestimable gift in prospective. Few persons are aware of the extent to which maplo sugar alone is made in this country. In 1350, it amounted to 31, 259,430 pounds, and has greatly increased since then. With the sugar corn growing in a great variety of States, thousands of miles apart, there would be little reason to fear, as we now do, failure of sugar crops and changes in West Indian market. But if the cane in question can be profi tably cultivated in the country at all, and more easily than the delicate, troublesome and continually dying-out sugar cane, we need not complain because it is not universal. At present the whole country pays almost twice ns much as it should for su gar, for the sake of protecting the interests of about fourteen hundred sugar planters who are obliged to continually import seed from Cuba, and who have about one half or a third crop two rears out of three. If what little protection the country enjoys is to be monopolized by the Soith, that it may have the supplying us with this or that product, let us at least have as much of the product as we require. Experiments and a very costly experiment, too, has shown that the ordinary sugar cane cannot be raised in a satisfactory, steady, reliablo manner in this country; and such being tho case, we trust tho farmers will lose no time in turning their attention to the Chineso camp. Change cf Views Among Episcopalians. Tho Episcopal Church of this country is being agitated by some important questions of change concerning the forms of policy, The Rev. Dr. Muhlhurgh h one of the most prominent advocates ofthesc changes, and hns written a pamphlet in favor of ex tempore prayer. On this subject he says "To pray for and wish the people as the Spirit shall move him, is an inherent light with the minister of the gospel. Whether as a prophet, pwtor, or pries', this essentially belongs to his office. Ecclesiastical authority may regulate him in the rxercine of it, but never can deprive him of it. To forbid, therefore, the utterance of any other than certain fixed words, is to limit the utterance of the Holy Spirit, and to deny the minuter of. God, and in his ministrations in that capacity, the expression of any bther thoughts, felling!, or desire?, than such as hare been anticipated for him." From the New Orleans Delta. The Introduction of Slavery into Cen- tral America a Preconcerted Plot. Wo have more than once referred to the necessity of introducing slavery into Nicaragua as the only meuns by which Walker and his followers could consolidate and perpetunlo their new republic, because, from the nature of its climate nnd products the Anglo American settlers were unable to cultivate the soil profitably themselves, and the nntivo mongrel inhabitants were almost totally worthless and inefficient as free laborers. We also alluded to significant assurances we had received from authorized sources, that Walker designed, as soon as he could prudently do so, to publicly legalize slavery within his dominions, mid invite slaveholders to emigrate thither with their slaves. We knew somo weeks since that a decree to this effect had been drawn up, and we now learn, that it has been promulgated. We confidently pronounce it the wisest, most prescient and statesmanlike act of his administration. It is tho one thing needful. Without it, vain would have been his conquest, vain his invincible army, vain his reconstruction of government and ref ormation of commerce; without nn efficient labor system as a bnsis, all must sooner or later have faded away like the unsubstantial fabric of n vision. Numbers of slaveholder have already written to us to know if they could safely take their slaves into Nicaragua, to cultivate sugar, collee, rice, indigo or chocolate plantations, as the case might be. We have always assured our correspondents that though slaves were not recognized by law in Nicaragua we have no doubt they would be secured to their owners during Walker's administration, and that ultimately slavery would have an existence there of law ns well as fact. They will now find that our confidence in Walker's sagacity nnd statesmanship was not misplaced. He did not fail to see the necessity which we early pointed out, and, like a bold statesman, has now responded to its demand. There is another step further along.how-ever, more difficult, it may be, but scarcely less important ns a primo nuxilaiy in making the first effective that is opening Nicaragua to the African slave trade. We havo not time here to elaborate, but, a glance at the statistics of slavery will show the great importance of the measure. Labor is in too great demand in our Southern States to allow many lo bo withdrawn for Nicaragua; tho coolie trade, devised by British policy nnd carried on by Boston philanthropists, is too hypocritical, too treacherous and inhuman for the civilizers of Central America to think of a moment; and, therefore, tho A rienn slave trade and African slavery conducted on humane principles and regulated by law, must have the preference over every other form of compulsory labor. A Southern View cf Thanksgiving Day in the Northern States. The Baltimore Sun, alluding to the fact thnt Thursday, November 20, has been fixed upon by most of the Governors of the Northern States for tho annual Thanksgiving, asks: Where nre the Governors of those Slates south of Maryland? The enquiry has provoked the following rather snappish reply from the Carolina Times: "We are impressed that the Governors of the States south of Maryland are all at homo nnd competent to decide for themselves when it will be proper to fix upon the day to offer up thanks to tho Almighty for past blessings. The movement on the part of Northern Executives is no criterion for Southern men. We are subject to luw common and divine, and need "Nor bleeding bird nor bleeding beast, Nor hysop branch, uor sprinkling prii at, Nor running brook, nor Hood, nor tea To wa&h a ditnial stain away." "It is meet and proper that the miserable, sin-stricken polluted nnd ungodly population of the North should beg paid on for their black sins recorded, committed ngainst God, their country nnd fellow men. As a generation of vipers they ought to be warned to flee the wrath to come; yet we be lieve that the waters of Jordon, Abana and Phnrpnr would fail to wash them and heal their leprosy, even though they were to dip seventy times seven. They have much to be forgiven, and we would advise them to pray often pray long and pray loud. Baltimore especially, ought lo be covered with sackcloth nnd ashes." The Ohio State Fair of 1856. Tho Cleveland Herald, in an animated desciiption of the Stnto Fair recently held in that city, claims ror it the "biggest balance sheet ever exhibited in Ohio." It gives this comparative statement of receipts The first Fair was at Cincinnati in 1850, at which the receipts were 87,504,06; the 2nd at Columbus in '51, $8,209,04: the 3rd at Cleveland in '52, $15,260,00; the 4th at Dayton in '63, 813,990,37; the S'.h at Newnik in 54, 89,022,58; tho Cth nt Columbus in '55, SI 3,000; tho 7th at Cleveland in '5G, the receipts reach 17,000.

Any intelligent man knows that such i-3 no unmeaning compliment to Ohio cattle-breeders. Zanewille Gazelle. Fekck8 in Ohio. There are 18,000,000 acres of land in Ohio, enclosed with 450,-000 miles of fenac, at a prime cost off 1 15,-200,000, and at a whole yearly xpcnse for rep drs, to., of 37,609,000; of which sum ttcn. Worthington calculates thnt at least one-third or 92,560,000 might behaved by laws prohibiting domestic animals, and especially hogs and sheep, from running at large. Slavery U Nebraska. If Buchanan is elected President, and Kansas made a Slave State, the ne.tt more will bo to thrust Slavery into Nebraska1. We have a letter dated "Fort Calhoun, Nebraska Territory, Oct. 23d, 1C5G" written by a highly intelligent genllerann of that place, from which we mako the following quotation: "Would it not be well to draw pub!ic nttention to tho facts suggested in the enclosed extract from the Council Bluffs Chronotype. Many Slaves have been introduced into the Territory since the census was taken." The following is the extract referred to above: By the census returns of Nebraska there are eleven slaves in the Territory. These t laves are held in counties south of Platte river. By what authority nre they held? There is no law protecting slaveholders in the Territory. Or has it come to this.that slavery is wherever the laws of tho Union are.' lias that institution indeed become national? nnd is Liberty confined within prescribed limits, to skulk under the pro-lection of local laws? Is there not interest enough in the rights' of human nature south of the Plntto to test this mattei? Has the spirit of Liberty sunk so low that eleven men and women can be held in bondage, in violation of positive law, while five thousand freemen look on unmoved? Suppose a writ of habeas corpus be got out in ono of these cases, and the successful issue of this will drive from our borders these few women scourgers nnd cradle robbers, who have undertaken to introduce that 6um of all human villan-ies, slavery into our midst. By a light contribution among the anti-slavery people, the best talent south of the Platte can be employed in this behalf. Elect Buchantn, give the Cincinnati platform the endorsement of tho American people, and Slavery will indeed be national, and Liberty be driven to tkulk under local law. Great Business in Grain. The receipts of grain at Milwaukie.Wis., on the 1st of Oct., nre said to have amounted to over 60,000 of bushels, about 50,000 of which was wheat. The American of that city, says: We understand that nil the roads are now used to their utmost capacities in bringing forward produc j from the interior. These immense receipts have had the effect to depress the market somewhat, though the very liberal price of 81,03 was paid for straight lots of club wheat yesterday, and $1,12 to 81,18 for white winter. We learn that vessels to arrive have been chartered for wheat to BuMo at 14 cents. The amount of stuffs to go forward for the next GO days will be 1,500,000 bush-els per week at a low estimate, employing the clearance of 120 vessels per week. If we allow 20 days to each vessel for a trip, the number to be employed would amount to 320 vessels. We are under tho impression that this is as many grain carrying vessels as visit the upper lakes and probably more. Governor Corwin. The Fillmore Club of Columbus, held a meeting on Tuesday night, and passed the following dirty blackguard resolutions: Resolved, 1 at, Thnt the Hon. Thomas Corwin should labtl his political signboard, "All kinds of political twisting and screwing done here." Resolved, 2d, That our newly elected councilmnn, G. W. dishing, be directed to prepare a leather medal for Gov. Corwin, which shall be presented to him as an evidence of our approval of his novel mode of maniftS'ing his political sympathy with, and personal friendship for, Millard Fillmore, an honest man. Signed J. O'B. RENICK, Chairman Franklin Co., Fillmore Club. Mr. J. O'B. Ilenick ought to be ashamed of himself, for actin; as he has. He is old enough to have known better.and therefore has no excuse for emitting such low scurrility against one of the most distinguished and best men in Ohio. Sun. Reg. - "- m - .

Lately, at a distribution of prizes in a German village, a little girl, seven years old, whose parents had just been turned out of their lodgings, because they hnd failed to pay their rent, was asked by Ihe rector; "Have you studied sacred i:tstory,my child?" "Yes sir," "Do you know the history of the crention?" "I know that God made all." "Why were Adam and Eve turned out of Paradise?" Tho child hesitated n moment, and then filing her eyes on her ixammer, replied "Probably they were turned out because they could not pay their rent," JtiT The Ciiinese seem to think dancing a useless fatigue. When commodore Anson was at Canton, the officer of tho Centurion had a ball on some court holliday. Whilo they were dancing, a Chinese who surveyed tho operation, said softly to one of the party, "Why don't yo& let your servants do this for yea?" $JT "1 am afraid," said a lady lo her husband, "that I am going to have a stiff neck." ,.

The Democrat last week, boasted that w had cairied the county by so small a majority. ; It did not state, however, that before the' election it claimed 400 maj ri y for th slaveocracy. It did not state that the Republican ticket received about 200 mora' votes this year than Inst, and tint our ma jority Was much larger in many townships iuu pie.seoi man me last year. Isow tho truth is that we lost by rcmov-;' als in the county during the past year of at lenst 200 Republican votes, nnd still elect ed our ticket over the Hunker SlavocraU.' although it has been well ascertained that a large number of illegnl votes were cast for their candidates. Many vol's appeared nt tho pedis led up by the leaders of mo' sham democracy who were never seen in the township before, and have not been seen since the election. Had the legaj votes of the county only been polled' the' Republican majority would not hnv fwor' less than 300, but no means were too base or contemptible lot the treasury-eaters to' resort to in order to secure the control of the funds of the county, and to sustain' their minions. We say we have achieved a glorious victory. In our congressional district the same system of rascality as practiced by the sjavocrats and developments since theelec lion prove conclusively that Mr. Sapp has' a majority of a1J the legal votes in the district of at least 300. Whether he will oort-test the seat with his opponent or not, we are not informed. We haVe no doubt that he would succeed if he should do so. Coshocton Ate. From the Tiffin, 0. Tribune.

U utsou Our Next CoiiiirtSs-mau.Ve invite the attention of the public to section fourteen, of article four, of the Constitution of the State of Ohio : "Section 14. The Judges of the Su prcme Court and of the Court of Com mon Vitus, shall, at stated times receive for their services such compensation as may be provided by law, but they shnll receive no fees nor perquisites, nor hold any other office of profit or trust, under the au hority of this State or the United States. JESTA'LL VOTES hi either of them, for ant elective office, except a judicial office under the authority of this State, given by the General Assembly, SHALL BE VOID." Judge Hall has sot resfgned his offko as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Every vols cast for him, for Congress, is, therefore), by the Constitution of Ohio voin. Watson is, therefore, our next Congressman, and the Governor of Ohio will issue to him n certificate of election, which Hall can contest if he thinks the effjrt will pay expenses. We have given the section ver- oatim. Hall holds his ofltce, and every man can tee for himself that this is no humbug. Tho opinion of one of the best Looofoco lawyers in this ciiy, is that Wat-' son is clearly the next Congressman. Hall, evidently acted on the maxim "a bird in the hand is worth two iri the bush," and regardmg this election as exceedingly doubtful, concluded to hold on to his present emoluments. Hurrah for Watson 1 We are not aware of the course to te pursued in reference to this advantage.and do not care, so that theinth District does not cast its vote for Border Ruffmnism.and the extension of Slavery, which Hall is-pledged to sustain. i ni' i ' High Prices for Horseg'. . r'ortcr's Spirit of the Times, in quoting the sale of "Lexington," from the Louisville Journal, says: "It is possibly true that Lexington hag-been disposed of by Mr. Ten Broeck for1 SI 5,000, but the idea expressed that this is the highest price ever paid for any horso in the United States, is not only preposterous, but ridiculous.
