been any how else than to the taste
of its recipient. It has been, for the
most part, rain, rain, mud, mud.
During the last two days of last week
thc aspect of things in thin icpct wa
little different; we had whole day
without rain and the thoroughly saturated earth began to solidify in spot.
Then we 'blessed our stars and called
it luxury." Rut as Saturday even
ing' sun went down portentiou indications were held out, of another change. By Sabbath morn thc rain
was pouring down ajjain, and continued to do so at intervals through the
lay. Since then we have had that
peculiar, fickle, coqucttiih, rain and shine sort of weather, for which April
is so famous. Farmers can do noth
ing in their fields, and as the month is advancing into the latter half, and thc
weather shows no signs of "settling," some, we notice, are growing a little
restive.
lint, we might say to our friend".
while the raiti is hindering their work
a little, it is rapidly advancing thc
Spring crops. Pasture will be thus
supplied unusually early, and we can
hardly fail now of a good hay crop.
And the wheat, out most important crop, next to corn, never promised better at this time of thc season. And this is thc uivcrsal testimony of all our exchanges. A better prospect for wheat and hay throughout the whole vally of the Mississippi was peihaps never known before at this time of the year. And as thc corn crop never fuils in thii part of thc country we have no doubt it will all be right this time if our friends will only take it cool and secure good seed. There is a month yet in which it w ill do very well to plant that crop in good well prepared ground. The tenth of May has been found, as a general average, about the most eligible time for planting this crop, but a few days earlier or biter will not make a great difference. It

A funnv little whikr frolic came off
rccentlr at Ridgeville, in this countv,
with an account of which we ahonld have "treatl" tho readers of the
Journal lforc if we had had thc facts.
It was Mr. ItAmnrx, "niesclf" from Vwatc Ireland," .n our informant ! lieves, who was made a "feeler" to try the tone of thc community on the
doggery question." A whisky hop
having been opened, thc wife of a
weak brother, who, like too many oth
ers who have been tempted to ruin by
thce delectable institutions, can not restrain his appetite for the "ardent" when it U within his reach, appealed to thc neighbors to adopt some restrict
ive, or peihaps we should ay utxAtiion measures, in the premise. The villagers matrnanimoiudv responded. A
J m purse was raised to buy the "crather
out. Our pioneer Vampire seemed u
little ktubborn nt firt, but swing rath
er clear indications that the thing had to "dry up," finally negotiated for li"
cents a gallon. A vehicle was dispatched to move the obnoxious commodity up into town so that the oblation might be witnessed by "all the
inhabitants thereof." Seeing this the discomfittcd "furriner" swore they should not have that fun, and knocked in the barrel head himself. After this the miscreant Khould not have been paid thc "first red," and if it had been done before he should be sewed for the whisky. Our reporter fays the barrel
contained a considerable quantity of
black, stinking "Itesi Hum," having the smell und appearance of "dog-leg tobacco," sure enough. We understand that the "town council" have decided that this is thc last whisky they expect to purchase, and that it can not be made a subject of legitimate traffic in that market. We approve the decision. Kvry communitv has a right to protect it-
M'lf from such pollution and night to do it. ?lr, KilRorcs Speech. Mr. Kn-ooiiK, our Representative in
Congress, has spoken. AN e lay his speeeh before our readers to-day from a corrected copy forwarded us. Tluv will judge for themselves of its merits.

Death of Thoinns II. Denton. A notice of Mr. Ilenton's death was prepared for lat week's Journal but was crowded out. He expired at his residence in Washington at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, April 10th. He had sunk rapidly of late uudcr au incurable and fatal disease (cancer of thc bowls,) ami had only been able to communicate in a whisper to his daughter the last portions of his "dcbatci" ("magnum opus" as he termed it.) while an amanuensis committed them to paper. It was his special wish to live to finish that work that he might do justice to his compeers in the Senate, many of whom had passed away lcforc him. It almost seemed to those about him that he lived and woikc.l the latter weeks of his life in virtue of his own idomitable will. He swallowed only fluids
for several weeks. He continued to work indefatigably to the last, elTeeting
his cherished object, we are assured, and can well believe, with much suffering.
During an Inu-nW with Mr. Buch

Tilings do not look too encouraging
just now to our apprehension. To le
sure "the defeat" in the House did look some what emphatic and decisive so far as that body is concerned, but it was only the House against the Senate by an equal majority, with thc President, with thc whole executive patronage of the Government still left free to opperate on the ulas! too notoiiously easy virtue of our Northern members, and if the experience of the past is to be taken as a criteiian by

Tili: ATLANTIC MONTHLY, Pmillim,
Sn A Co., 13 Winter Stmt, No, ton. The April number of this leading
Monthly has lain for some time on our table, waiting our leisure to give it our
usual notice. Our opinion of the merits of the work is sufficiently well understood by thc readers of thc Joursal. Want of leisure for the purpose has prevented our making the acquaintance of this number as intimately as
would be airrecable. So far as wc have
dipped into it, however, it has paid us
well. "31y Journal to my cousin Marv," concluded, in this number,

His fool-prints were found oa ihn earth, making hört step at first, thn longer etndes, as if running whilst holding on :o the cars, and ended at a pile of iron, 1-eyond which his body was found. It is supposed that his boot struck the pile of iron, by which mean his hold on the cars wan loosened, when he fdl nn Ict the wheels. This theorv is strengthened bv the fact that
his shawl, carjot sack, and piecs of clothing, were found scattered along the track, U twccii the ii on and tfu body. Thus lying helpless upon thc track, the poor man wa sufhVitit!y coneiout
to know that the loledo tram wan coming down upon him, yet he was
unable to drag his crushed bonrs off
the rail. He could but raise his hand, and in a moment the train passed over him, severing his head and both arms and legs from his body. Thc body
was carried on to Cleveland. It was so disfigured, that none could recog
nize it. Mr. Brown, of thc I-aimer, knew bv his shawl, carrot-bag, rail-
road pass as assistant cuuor 01 inc Farmer, and by some pajeis found in his bag, which he had given him but a few hours before, that it was the body of Prof. Hudson. Prof. Hudson was a man of fine intellect, and a faithful and earnest AbolitbmUt. His death will le lamented by a wide circle of intimate friends, niid by not a few who knew him only by reputation, and yet have learned to love him for his work's sake.
And while commending it to the lovers of a good wholesome progressive literature, we would just remind the leader that the work can lc had by the huhscibers of the Joiunal for two dollars instead of three, and that wc will be pleased to act as the agent of such as may wish to order the work in this way.

Wc hope Mr. Kiloore will not be mistaken for that "raw head and bloody bones," an Abolitionist, especially if his colonization views should be adopted and acted upon. And yet wc suspect he would find it beyond his casuistry to show thc propagandist the difference. He is a "Free State man" and will oppose to the death the introduction of Slavery into another foot of Free Territory. He would not interfere with Slavery where it exists and he savs that none of thc 2,000 Abo-
litionists of the North propose such a
measure. We can not then, and feel sure the fire-eater will not, see the dif
ference, but will regard with the same detestation and fear the man who would

The I.cayenworth Constitution. Through the politeness of Mr.
Jenkins, of Lawrence, Kanzas, we are
in receipt of the Iawrcnce Republican !
extra, containing thc Leavenworth Constitution, agreed upon on the ord
of April, inst., with thc address of thc constitutional convention to the public etc.,
The new Constitution (which had reached us by our exchanges before we received the Republican) is a revision of that of Topeka, with some alterations rendering it still more radically Free State. This is to be attributed no doubt to thc schooling the Kanzas people have received on this subject. Wc go back with great alacrity to first principles when we feci our rights to be invaded. The convention makes strong declarations in its bill of rights on the subject of human liberty, and
reco;nies explicitly womans right to
property. Slavery is explicitly exclu
ded, close restrictions arc placed on
special legislation, and short legisla
tion teims and single representatives districts provided for. The Constitu
tion is to be submitted to the vote of
thc people on thc third Tuesday in
May, and State officers elected at the same time. Tho schedule also provides that in case Lccompton gets through Congress, this Constitution shall go into immediate force as soon as ratified by the people. This significant feature was introduced by a menilcr of the conservative, or anti-Topeka faction. Another feature we incline to like is that which throws the loca
tion of the capital into thc hands of
the people. A very temperate and sensible ad

Kanzas. Iit night although tho rain was pouring down in heavy torrents Our city was wild with excitement and the sound of the booming cannon and the shouts- of " Jurrvh fur Kanzas aud Fntdom" Thc chert for "Crittenden's amendment' For the valient "Northern Representative," and groans for Northern Dough Faces only died away with the small hour of coming morn. It was hailed as good news from parent to child in a far off land. I must not omit to fay that toasts were ;;ivcn compliment of the "Little Giant" and indeed every one aiding in any manner the defeat of the Iecompton Swindle received a plaudit from thc crowd that thronged the streets of our citv. At Ieaveuworth the excitement was oqually grcat, but not satisfied with one night'w jolification they sent to this place for artillery in anticipation of a grand time to day (7th). When thc news readied Leavenworth City, at the tap
of thc drum tro thousand ('2000) persons assembled in the street in front of thc Planter's House. Numerous spocclies were made by distiiiguihed individuals of the Territory. Resolutions were passed calling upon Clsikson a villainous Pro-Slavery man to resign his oflice as Postmaster. Thc meeting was enthusiastic but haimonious. Such dear readers of the Joit.nal, is the feelling which pervades tlie whole Territory of Kanzas (except Oxford, Kinkapoo and lccompton). And O, what man so destitute of Patriotism,
as, to desire to have an inurnment so repulsive to our people, forced upon us, certainly such a man can not be found in Randolph, if there is one such, lctt r that he repent lest he sin away his day of grace, and receives his political damnation. The Constitutional Convention closed its labors last Saturday (3rd) and adjourned iw die. The Constitution framed by that body is one of high tone, one upon which thc Free State people of Kanzas can be fully united, and one which will receive tle iynipathies of all true lovers of human liberty every where. It is truly characteristic
of thc noble minded men of which that Convention was composed. Emigration is coming in slowly.
