FOE PBESIDENT IN 1860, J. C. FREMONT. FOB VICE-PEESIDEUT WM. L. DAYTON. The Con teit Corn and Cob Mills By invitation of Mr. Mulford, the gent for the Little Giant, for this county. Mr. Farqnhar, the agent for the Excelsior, and Mr. Smith, agent for the Star Mill, mot in Brookvillc last Saturday, to exhibit the merits of their respective milU. The day was cold and unpleasant, yet a large number of farmera were present. It being the day of the Annual Meeting of the Agricultural Society, at the request of the parties, a committee of fire was appointed, to witness the contest and report their opinions of the relative merits of the mills. No premium was at stake. The businesa of the society detained the committee until near four o'clock, leaving but a short time to devote to an examination that should have occupied nearer a half a day. We attach no blame to any party it was a misfortune that the day appointed came on the day of other business, for we regard the settlement of the question, which mill to buy, as one of the most important questions for a farmer to aettle. For every good farmer expects to buy a mill. He is tired of wasting at least two-fifths of his grain. He is cotmnced that il would pay better to put 30 acres in corn, and let his other tO be in clover, 'rotating,' than to run his 60 seres every year, to fatten the same number of hogs and cattle. The report of three of the committee will be found on another column. In addition to the facts there set forth, we would say for the benefit of tbose who wish to buy, that the contest appeared to be between the Excelsior and Little Giant, the Star being nearly out of the question. The following is the result of 20 revolutions each. Little Giant, old corn, 85 lbs. of meal, new corn 45; Excelsior, old corn 77 lbs. new corn t8; Star, old corn, 85 lbs. new corn t8. But this does not give the exact relative merits, as the meal from the Giant was much finer than from either of the others, and had the scive

been used, aa it would havo been, had them and the whole family immeasurtime allowed, we are convinced that j able good. Only think of it, brother, the difference in weight would have by using only three cents worth of tobeen very great, in favor of the Giant, bacco less per week we would not while the draft is greatly increased, dare to aak jou to wholly abandon so as the mill is set finer. I needful a self-indulgence just by usIn behalf of the Excelsior, (Mr. j ing three cents worth lese, you can Farquhar's) il is claimed that diachar- have a weekly paper, the size of a cra-

ging the meal into a half bushel is an advantage. 1 his is unquestionably a deeided advantage over the Star Mill, and the f rst stylo of the Little Giant. To have the meal falling upon a platform, to be blown away by the wind, or wasted through the cracks of the platform, is a great defect. The new style of Giants however, obviate this, by dispensing entirely with the platform, and furnishing a vessel, with the mill, without additional cost, which hold six bushels, and enables the mill to be put up without any additional expense, except four stakes, about a foot long. Another advantage of the Excelsior, and one of no small importance, is the readiness with which its fine grinding surface can be renewed, by moveable rings, costing on ly three dollars. To compensate for this, in the Giant, it has nearly seven limes the amount of fine grinding surface, making one set of teeth grind seven times the amount of grain that the o.her will (for a number 3. ($50) is warranted to grind 20,000 bushels of com,)and then its grinders can be renewed for 12, while it grinds a given amount, of a given fineness, with the same power, in much less time say not more than two thirds or three fourths, as will bo seen by the quantity of new corn ground by the respective mills, at this trial, 46 to 28 which would make about three-fifths the time, no inconsiderable item with a farmer who has 100 hogs to feed. There was another fact which we noticed. The Little Giant was let feed itself, after putting the corn in the hopper, while the others kept one man feeding. Ii struck us, that our farmers, who have been in the habit of turning their hogs into the fields to "bog it down," or M the bogs feed themselves, would prefer a mill that could "hog it down" without further trouble, after supplying the hopper. The saviog of grease too, by the Giant, is something of an object, whenj lard is 12 cents a pound, and scarce at that. It takes no giease, the others need greasing. Why there is this dif f?r ur i; was too '.old for us to enquire. After the corn-grinding was over, Mr. Hedges proposed a species of grinding, the utility of which we

doubted at first. He took a pound of tea-penny nails, some blocks and sticks of wood, and some brick bats, (Burton pave a piece of an arch brick, burnt black, which looked as hard as glass) and lime stone. We did'nt care whether he broke his mill or not, but we could'nt see the "point" of this at first, for, though in the city, where "grain stuffs" are scarce, they may have to resort to brick dust, wood meal, and iron filings, to feed their stock, in the country we feed corn meal, in preference, believing it to be cheaper and better food. But when

he had ground out this "grist," he explained the propriety of submitting a mill to this test. Such things are liable to get into mills, and unless they will grintl ihem out, or stop the team, the mill must break. He of fered a dollar apiece to bis competitiors for every nail they would grind, but they claimed that their mills were only corn and cob mills, not nail mills. Mr. T. Glidewcli, of this county, was bj, and said that in his Little Giant, he got a piece of a horse shoe, a few days ago, but it did not hurt the mill. Such is a brief recapitalation of the facts as we witnessed them. We give them to the publie without expressing our preference for either mill. We will only add that the patent food boiler which was on exhibition, received the entire and unqualified approbation of every body who saw it. That will take. Christian Advocate and Journal. There is no exchange that we open with more pleasure than this paper, since it has been conducted by its pres ent editors, Drs. Stevens and Strick land. It is a denominatinoal paper, and, on account of its age and locality, sometimes called the organ or of ficial paper of tho M. E. Church, though it is really no more so, than any other Advocate. It is about to be enlarged by an addition, equivalent to 8 columns, or more than one of its present ample pages. It will then be the LARGEST AND CHEAPEST RELIQIOCR paper in tbs world! Though denominational, there is nothing in it that need be offensive to intelligent Christians of any denomination, even its controversial articles are usually so temperate and respectful so Christian in tone, as to command the respect of even those who may differ from the writer. We would not advise that Western Methodists discontinue their Western Advocate for this, for to them, the Western, is the more interesting, but there are thousands in the west who should take this in addition to the Western, and the Magazines. For $1,50 you obtain, in weekly numbers, what would inako a book of more than 1,650 pa, es, the size of a large family Bible, every article of which is worth reading, and some articles of the most interesting character. Only think of it, cbrtstian; by curtailing the expense of ribbons, for each of your three daughters, only 60 cents per year, you can purchase, a book of 1,650 pages, the size of your big Bible, which will do die quilt, full of news, foreign and do me stic, religious and secular. We have called jour attention to this paper, ar.d told you bow to get it, now you may do as you please. If you prefer to slobber away your money or smoke it away, to taking a weekly birds-eye view of the world, just do so. Every preacher, traveling and local, should have it. By procuring 5 new subscribers you get a copy gratis. Address Carlton A Porter, New York. Soboum Molasses. We have, in our office, a specimen of molasses, made by Dr. Goodwin from the Sorgum or Chinees Sugar Cane. From its flavor, we judge that, when properly made, it will equal the best golden syrup or maple molasses. It will also make an excellent article of sugar. From the Doctor's experiment he thinks that an acre will yield at least 320 gallons. It is as easily cultivated as broom corn and looks very much like it. Of course the profitableness depends on the expense of manufactuni g the molasses from the cane, and this will depend upon the preparations for the business. It can certainly be made for 30 or 35 cents per gallon perhaps much cheaper, when mills and furnaces are properly provided. He has some seed which he will give, in small quantities, to members of the Franklin County Agriccltural Society, who may wish to try the experiment of introducing it. He finds that oattle and hogs are exceedingly fond of the stalks and leaves, and thinks it excellent for fattening both hogs and cattle. The Oyster Sapper. We need not urge our citizens to attend the Supper Friday night, at the College. When it is known that there will be oysters there, and good looking ladies, and liberal gentlemen, und that it costs only a dime to gel in where all these things are, and that the proceeds go to the college, every body will want to go, Tickets can be had, any time Friday, at the several stores in town. By procuring them, the inconvenience of unking change at the door can be obviated Call early, for tickets, and go early to the supper-Mo" fashionable,

The President's

We gave our readers the att message of President Pierce, last week, just 20 hours after its delivery in Washington, and earlier than any other paper in Indiana. We had time to intimate only that it was unworthy the chief magistrate of a great nation on account of its falsehoods. It is wrong and contemptible, for even a third rate demagogue, in the the excitement of a political canvas, to falsify history for the purpose of carrying an election, but for !; executive of a nation to put on record, in nn important stato paper, such palpable falsehoods, is a burning disgrace to the man who does it, and the people who countenance it, and posterity will assign him the place be deserves, with Judas and Arnold, who, for pelf, proved traitors to their bent friends. Look at n few specimens : "Under the shelter of this great liberty liberty of free speech and protectedyaby the laws and usages of the government they assail, associations have been formed, in some of the States, of individuals, who, pretending to seek only to prevent the spread of the institution of slavery into the p.'sent or future inchoate Slate of the Union, are really inflamed with desire to change the domestic institutions of existing states." The connection shows that he in tended to apply this slanderous remark to the Great Republican party of this nation a party whose doctrines are those incorporated in the immortal Declaration of Independence, and upon which, tho legislation of the first 70 years of this republic was based. There exists no such an association, unless the Gerrett Smith Abolition party, which polled less than 1,000 votes in the whole nation, be such an association. The Republican party constantly disavow any such a purpose. They wish to let slavery alone where it exists, but they say, with Jefferson and all the great men who have gone before, that bounds .... SHALL BX FIXED to its deSSOlatlDg scourge. Neither the falsehoods of the President, nor the blustering of slave propagandists will prevent the utterance and rnaintainance of this great, Christian American, Republican doctrine. Again : "They are perfectly aware that the change in tbe relative condition of the white and black races in the slaveholding States, which they would promote, is beyond their lawful authority; that to them it is a foreign object ; that it cannot be effected by any peaceful instrumentality of theirs; that for them, and the States of which they are citizens, the only path to its accomplishment it through burning cities, and ravaged fields, and slaughtered populations, and all there is most terrible in foreign, complicated with civil and servile war." We imagine that the Devil, who alone could have acted as his "constitutional adviser" in tho conception of this falsehood, stood off, and made a polite bow, when he uaw it on paper, saying: "Now Mr. President, you may take my hat, for that beats my Ii to old Adam, all holler." "Change in the relative condition of the white and black races !" We defy the President or any one else to show that the Republican party ever contemplated any such a change. If to fix bounds to slavery is to ( ausc "burning cities, ravaged fields and slaughtered populations" why were not some of these terrible calamities realized during the 30 yearn of such restriction ? Again : "Well knowing that iucb, and such only, are the means nnd consequences of their plans and purposes, they endeavor to prepare the people of the United Stales for civil war by doing everything in their power to deprive the Constitution and the laws of moral authority, and to undermine tbs fabric of the Union by nppeals to passion und sectional prejudice, by indoc trinating its people with reciprocal j hatred, and by educating them to stand face to Isce as enemies, rather than shoulder to shoulder as friends." Bravo, Mr. President. You hive forgotten which side you are on. Who so construes the constitution as to not allow freedom of speech within their bounds ? Who drive off their own native born citizens for the mero expression of opinion ? Who will not allow the citizens of a neighboring Stute to preach or apeak or write except as they dictate ? Who educates their children "to stand face to face as enemies," with their ncigbors ? Not Republicans. Southern men may come north and say and do what they please, except bring slavery here. We will list to their argument in behalf of slavery, and laugh at their threats of disunion, but never molest them. Again : "Violent attack from the North find its inevitable consequence in the gr wth of a spirit of angry denance at the South." Poor dear south ! How patient you have been ! You never expelled Hon. Mr. Hoar from your Chraleslon when there on official business, until violent attacks were made. Precious, Constitutional Sou ih ! Wo are sorry that even now you have "let your angry passions rise." Again : "In the leng series of acts of indirect aggression, the first was the strenuous agitation, by citizens of the northern Slates, in Congress and out of it, of the question of negro emancipation in the southern Slates." That may be true, but it is entirely new to us. Wo never heard of any Dorlhern roan, in Congress, "strenuously agitating negro emancipation," since the days of Jefferson. We are very sure that no Republican ever offered a resolution, or presented a bill, or rnadu a speech in Congress in fiivor of "negro emancipation." That is none of their business. They leave that to the states. Thsy do say, and

they mean It, that slavery shall not extend further. Again : "Such was the state of this question, when the time arrived for the organization of the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska. In the progress of constitutional inquiry and reflection, it had now at length come to be seen clearly that Congress does not possess constitutional power to impofo restriction of this character upon any present or future State of the Union. In a long series of decisions, on the fullest argument, and after the most deliberate consideration, the Supreme Court of the United States had finally determined this point, in every form under which the question could arise, whether as affecting public or private

rignts in questions or the public domain, of religion, of navigation, and of servitude." If the devil gave his hat when tho prosident uttered the falsehood that Republicans wished to abolish slavery in the states, he must have given his horns and tail at this. No such a decision was ever made, and no other man than Franklin Pierce ever dared to uttered it, except, we believe, Lawyer Hubbard of Bear River, and we think 'he merely gave it as his opinion, that it should be made. If there was such an opinion, is it not strange that Buchanan should say in 1848 "I cling to the Missouri Compromise with more tenacity than ever ?" Such a decision would have ended the controversy before it bigan, but no such a decision was ever made. To "cling" to an unconstitutional measure, would make Buchanan either a fool or a nave. But it is useless to examine this strange document further. A cause that can be sustained only by such measures, must be rotten, and a man who will condescend, in a message, to falsity the history of his country, for the support of such a cause, is so far gone ns to be despised by honest men. A Heartless Wretch A fellow, who gave his name as L. D. Cook, from Alquina, went a few days ago, to the neighborhood of Pennsylvaniaburgh, and reported to the Sands family, that one of the brothers, Jefferson Sands, had died near Alquina, the day before, and requested, on his death-bed, to be brought home to be buried. One brother and a neighbor was sent for the corpse, and a messenger despached to Ohio for two brothers living there, and another to Napoleon, for two brothers living there, nnd the neighbors met the next day and dug a grave, and awaited the arrival of the corpse, but when the messengers returned, they brought the strange, but gratifying intelligence that Jefferson was alive and well had not been sick. Meanwhile Cook had left, we know not whither, after imposing on the landlord, by saying that he had bough', the Hack line from Brookville to Spades, and would call again and settle bis bill. No cause is known for his thus trifling with a family to whom he was a stranger. He is certainly a vicious man, and the public should be cautioned against him. We can not think of nn act such a man would not be guilty of. We would not trust him wilh an unlocked stable. Th re is evidently a gang of horse thieves in this vicinity. Whether he belongs to it or not, wo leave the reader to judge. We do not know that the above is his real name we presume not. News from Kansas Several of the Free State 'prisoners confined at Tecumseh, havo made good their escape; they are pursued, however, and may be retaken. On the other hand, Hays, the murderer of Buffum, whoso arrest by Governor Gearv after he had been released on bail was the cause of the recent quarrel between that functionary nnd Judge Lecoropte, has once more been net ot liberty by the Judge, in defiance of the Governor. It is said that the latter submits quietly to this new demonstration on the part of Lecompte. He is also about to lose his assistant in tho arrest of Hays, as Col. Titas, the great Border Ruffian leader, who rendered that service to the Governor, is about to leave Kansas, for tho more congenial fields of Nicaragua A free passage is offered from St Louis to whoever wishes to tako service under Walker. Governor Geary has been denounced at a meeting of Border Ruffians, at which Mr. Surveyor-General Calhoun occupied the chair. The occasion of this seems to have been found in Geary's dispute with Lecompte and Donaldson, and in the fact that several Pro-Slavery men have at last been indicted by the Grand Jury. The letter from Mr. Clements, on our first page, will be read with some interest. Republican Convention. The State Central Committee has called a Delegated Republican Con vention at Indianapolis for the 7th of January nnd request that 3, for each member of the legislature be sent from each county. We hope our Centra' Committee will see that this County is represented. Editorial Convention. Though we would prefer a later day, so a to avoid the suspicion of being a member of the Legislature, or a candidate for some office within its gift, we consent to the meeting of the editors at 2 P. M Jan 6th, and we invito every editor in Indiana who opposes the present pro-slavery parly, whether they had Fremont or Fillmoro at their maul head during the late canvass. We havu looal questions, of groat interest to discuss and settle before another presidential canvass.

A Good Suggestion. We findthe following paragraph in the Richmondj?X0wtrr."It is not improbable that the condition of things in Utah will engage the attention of Congress during the approaching session. It is hih time that the anomalous institutions of that Territory were corrected by the interference of the Federal Government. Tho abominations of polygamy, and the outrages of a theoretic despotism, cannot shelter themselves under the panoply of squatter sovereignty. Whenever lre principles and practices of Morraonism are discussed in Congress, the country may expect rich developments. 'Twill be better than an action of crtm. con." We second the Enquirer's suggestion. The condition of things in Utah is a disgrace to the country and tho age. We do not see exactly how Congress can interfere with the "domestic institutions" of that Territory, without violating the doctrine of nonintervention so ostentatiously put forth in the Cincinnati platform, and affirmed at the lato election. But that is none of our business. The Enquirer waives that obligation, and in violation of the principle urges the active intervention of Congress in regard to these meters. We hope its advice will be heeded. Tbe remoteness of Utah, the peculiar character of the 'population, and the difficulty of enforcing regulations which Congress may adopt in regard to it, constitute serious obstacles in the way of any effective redress. But it is none the less the duty of Congres3 to take some action in the matter. The

foul and disgusting abominations of the social life of the Mormons of Utah, should, at the least, be put under the ban of law. If they cannot at once be stopped, tbey should, at all events be branded and outlawed. This is the first step towards reform, and it should be taken without delay. Why will not Congress, at its present session, take this matter into hand ? N. Y. Timet. Horse Recovered. The horse that was stolen from Mr. Davis, at the toll gate, some weeks ago, has ben recovered, at a cost to him of about 9100. He found him in Jackson county. The thief has not been detected, but enough is known to know that he lived in or near Brookville. From facts that have been brought to light, it is certain that at least three persons in and near town, belong to a band of horse theives. Of course we shall not publish their names until they are detected. The great expense that is thus saddled on to a poor man, suggests the propriety and necessity of making it a part of the duty of the sheriff or other peace officers, to assist in the detection of horse thieves and other felons, and let tbe expense be charged in part at least, to tbe county. It is a matter in which all are interested, in proportion to the amount of taxables they possess, that are liable to be stolen, and we are satisfied that a well digested law, providing for the immediate pursuit of thieves by officers of the law, at public expense, would be heartily acquiesced in by the people. The tecurity alone, which it would guarrantec to moveable property, to make rogues understand that an efficient police is rcaJy'to pursue them, would more than pay, for the expense incurred. Changes. Rev. T. M. Eddy having been removed from the Indianapolis district, to the Editorship of the North Western Christian Advocate, in place of Dr. Watson deceased, Rev. F. C. Holliday has been removed from Connersville district, to tbe Indianapolis Dis trict; and President Locke, from the Brookvillc College to tho Connersville District, and Rev. James Besweck, from tho Mt. Auburn Circuit, to the Brookville College. No interest suffers from these changes. Mr. Eddy will fully sustain the reputation of the Advocate, Mr. Holliday will not be less popular on the Indianapolis district than his predecessor; Mr. Locke will quite fill the place of Mr. Holliday in the affections of the people, and we are sure the College will lose nothing in tbe change of Presidents. Mr. Beswick is an experienced and successful teacher. Odd Fellow's Literary Casket. The publisher of this magazine, which has just completed its third year, has issued his Prospectus for the new volume, to commence with January, 1857. The articles in the December number are all complete, and subscribers commencing wilh the new year will not bo annoyed with half-finished serials of interminable lengthA new story, entitled "The Star of Linwood," by one of tbe best female writers of America, will be commenced in the January number. A Querists's Department, of inestimable value to the Odd Fellow, has been added, which of itself should commend the work to tho Order. Terms, 92, per year; three copies, 95, 10 copies 915. T. M. Turner, Editor and Proprietor, Cincinnati, 0. There is a candid, not to say spicy, Editor in an Ohio town, who wants to sell out, because (as he says confidentially in a printed circular)"he is dissatisfied with the town and the peoplu who inhabit il; and he believes the people arc equally dissatisfied with him; besides, there is a great deal too much meanness and ignorance among ihem to suit him," There is an eligible opening for some agreeable young man.

We hope that every sensible man will read the article on our fourth page and then unreign his horse forever. It is as cruel as it is foolish to use a check rein. E. R. Budo. After being lost to us for a long while, our quondam friend Ed. Budd, turns up as editor and proprietor of the Grass Vally Intelligencer, in California. It is a neatly printed paper and spiritedly edited. Four Thirds, The Limerick Chronicle says: "Poisonous adulteration of whiskey was never practised so much ns at present, by tbe admixture of one-third spirits, one-third acquafortis, one-third vitriol, and one-third water.

Centerville Chronicle. Why don't you buy wheat and have it ground? That will save the expense of "constructive" frioght from Cincinnati. Excellent Flour. We paid 75 cents extra, a few days ago, for a barrel of superior flour, to get a chance to puff the miller, but it turned out to be the meanest kind of common flour, so we will withhold the puff until we can get a superior article, at the price of common flour. JSyThe publisher, Orange Judd, of the American Agriculturalist, New York City, offers to send 200 seeds of tbe Chinese Sugar Cane, to each of the subscribers to his paper, who will enclose him a stamped envelope, directed to the person'who wants the seed. That is a cheap way of getting a good paper and good seed. Jt3T P. X. New Cent Pieces. A large number of the new cent pieces authorized by Congress, are now at the Philadelphia mint awaiting the ordr of Congress to be circulated. They are about the size of the half-cent circulated fifteen or sixteen years ago, aud are composed of copper, nickel and zinc. ny The Tribune's ;Washington correspondent says that Col. WilliamSpencer, of Newark, Ohio, has been appointed United States Marshal of Kansas, vice Donalson, resigned. Judge Lecompt has not yet been removed. The new Marshal was formerly Sheriff of his county, and had been recently sent to Kansas by the President, as Commissioner to appraise the Delaware land. Notice. The young gentleman who borrowed our buggy, and broke it, and put it away without saying anything about it, is informed that it is mended, "nearly as good as new," and ready for use. When he needs it he can call. Preachers and printers can afford to keep buggies to lend, and break, and they never refuse, for fear somebody will "stop tho feed. What is James Buchanan to us, if we lose Kansas? Will his venerable countenance in the While House remunerate us for the creation of a free State on the flank of Missouri, nnd threateningly overhanging Texas? (New Orleans Delta. Perhaps our "original Buchanan men" who are so rampant in favor of Buck, Breck and Fiee Kansas, can give the Delta satisfaction on these points. P. S. Mr. Cottom promised to send us an Almanac if we would notice his scheme We noticed it last week. He need'nt send tho Almanac however, unless he is willing to send those pnbltshers their money, or the Sentinel, according to contract. N. B. When we hear of his complying with his contract with the publishers, we will inform the public thai they can trust their money with hirr for Almanacs. Itarcucs well for Wayne coun ty that at Ibe present time there are less paupers in it than havo been for some years previous. And for some months ihe jail has been empty.

The World Moves. Nineteen years ago Rev. Mr. Lovejoy was murdered in Alton 111. for daring to discuss the slavery question there. This year his brother is elected to Congress from that district and on that issue. As late as in 1854 Cassius'M. Clay visited Springfield, 111., and an effort was mads to get him the State House to speak in, but John Moore, the Pro-Slavery State Treasurer, closed the door in the face of Mr. Clay and his friends, and acted towards them in regular Border-Ruff

ian style. This John Moore was the Buchanan candidhtc for State Treasu rer at the late election, and the people of the State turned their backs upon bim. He is defeated by 21,000 votes. An Editor in Lack. Somebody recently sent Greely a box containing a loaf of bread, a pound of butter, and a roasted chicken, whereupon the old man says: "The fair hands that prepared this delicate cadeau. we kiss with all courtesy. The proverb which says, 'God sends meats, but the devil sends the cooks,' does not apply in this case. The cooking is positively heavenly. The bread is equal to manna; the butter like the breath of love; and the chicken might be mistaken for a bircT-of-paradise." The following is stated by the correspondent of the New York Tribune, to be Buchanan's Cabinet: For Secretary of State, Lewis Cass; Secretary of the Treasury, Howell Cobb; Secretary of the Interior, Jesse D. Bright; Secretary of War, Charles J. Faulkner; Secretary of the Navy, WilliHm Preston, Post-master General Cave Johnson; Attorney General, Isaac Toucey. Prom ho N.O. Delta, November 9 The New 'Southern Party" Tone of an Ultra Southern Organ. Regrets are useless; the question for to day is, what must he done to maintain the piescnt security, and "organize the future?" The confusion of the election is over; the result is known; Jones is sure of his office, Brown is satisfied, and Robinson smiles approval from under his Democratic moustache so the time for solid work has arrived. And, in our humble opinion, we can do nothing better than immitäte the North, by preserving the same attitude which we assumed before the election, or, in other words, by not stacking our arms, butlhandling them deftly as ever. Instead of waiting for events to develop themselve in Kansas, we should make events, by encouraging Southern emigration and securing her admission on a Slavery basis. What is James Buchanan to us if we lose Kansas? Will his venerable countenance in the While House remunerate us for the creation of a free State on the flank of Missouri, and threateningly overhanging Texas? Furthermore, we should assert promptly and determinedly tho noble work in which William Wnlker is engaged, knowing that it is our cause at bottom help him onward, step after step, wilh money, with men, with voice and hand, until a portion, at least, of his magnificent programme is achieved- At home our leading statesmen and independent journals should unite in harmonious concert with one hope, one aim, one destiny, striving for the organization of a healthy public opinion in the South, such as tho revolutionists I described as "opinion with a helmet on its head, and a long sword by its bide." Reason is a great power in the modern world, but armed reason is invincible. It is unnecessary to add, that if we permit the respite, like Carlyle's "blue day," to come and go without result, to "pass useless away," we deserve the contempt which our Northern cotemporaries are so ready to lavish upon us. We must organize for there is no strength save in organization and we must do so at once. How say our brethren of the Southern press? Are they ready for the good work? If so let the corner stone of the Southern Partt be laid as soon as possible, amid prayers and hymns, and rising perfumes, and pesling bells, und the cheerful shouts of a multitudinous peoplel On the 8th inst., Mary Howard, relic of the late John Howard, agtd about 60. At ber residence in Brookville, on Friday, the 6lh day of Dec, 1856, at a quarter after 1 1 o'clock, P. M ., Mrs. Elizabeth Bly, widow of John Bly. Mrs. Bly, whoso maiden name was Breakbill, was born in the State of Pennsylvania, April 25ih, 1702. At an early age she removed with her parents to the State of Ohio, where she was married in the year 1807. With her husband she resided in that Stato until about the year 1824, when they moved to Blooming Grove, and after remaining there a short time, came to Brookville, wheie she continued to teside, until her death. She joined the M. E. Church in the year 1831, of which she continued a consistent and worthy member to the last hour of her life. Feeble health, and age for several years past, have prevented her from mingling in society but seldom leaving home, except to visit and comfort the sick. All who knew her intimately, loved her, and were grateful for her many acts of kindness in times ol atntclion. it is, unfortunately too much the fashion among mankind, to appear outwardly, much better than they really are. It was not so with Mrs. Bly; she was much better than a casual observer or stranger would take her to be. She was no hypocrite when she spoke she said what sho thought, and when she acted, did (hat which she thought was right, regardless of the opinions of others. She was a warm and firm friend to those who were worthy of her respect. But tho most prominent trAit, probably in her character, was to show the most friendship to those who most needed friends thus reversing the common practice, of showing the most lo those who need the least. The writer of this ootire was glad lo number her among his eat liest and most steadfast friends, and' will continue to the day of his death, to remember wiih gratitude her many actt of kindness iu times of tore affliction.
