At midnight the captain became aware that the masts were being strained, and be ordered the studding-sails to be taken in, and the royals furled. The mate had taken the skysaila off before dark. Yet tbe ship now ran off ten knots. At two o'clock the second mate went to (he wheel and whispered to the helms* man to lay the ship three points farther South. The man did so, and Withers noticed it at once, "What’s all this?” he cried, with an oath. “Has the wind changed?" He went to tbe binnacle, and saw the' trouble at onto. The second mate bad hoped that he was too drunk, to notice the change, bui him wits were keen and quick in that direction. It is apeculiarity of drunkenness that the intoxicated man seems possessed of an intuitive perception of any effort to deceive him; and so was Withers in this caw. He ordered the man at the wheel to bo pot in irons, and then ordered the second mate, Mr. Cling* man, below. He bad the ship pat up to her original coarse, and then he paced op and down tbe deck, raving and storming like a madman.

; Oor readers will recollect seeing a far days- si nee,a'no tree of a Free State Convention, held at Topeka, Kansas, on the 10th of tbr present month, at which resolutions war* adopted declaring that (he Free State men of Kansas could not coDsdentieiuljrTeteat the ensning election for Delegates to form a State Const!lotion —that they adhered to the Topeka Cbnstitotion, &c. - This course of pro* ceeding, doubtless struck many of bor readers with surprise, as it did as; What is the meaning of it? It is noire really acknowledged thaUwodhirds of the pop* illation of Kansas are Free State men—and. we hear from pro-slavery sources that nine* tenths of the emigration to Kansas during the past few months hasbeen from the North. Why, then, wilt two-thirds or threc>-fourtti$ of the population sitdown supinely and allow a small minority to elect delegates and: form a Constitution recognizing slavery? Why do they not exercise the power they certainly possess, and, make Kansas n'Freb Stale? They know very well, that Kansas will not bo admitted with the Tojteka Consljtmion, and if they refuse to take a part at the enfiling election, ;a pro-slavery constitution, must inevitably he formed, and probably formed in such a- manner that it cannot bo changed in less than ten or fifteen years. Wo imagine lliat-a reason can be found Cor the course of the free State leaders, aside.from conscientiousness, or any of, the motives aUedged. If Kansas comes in a as a Free Slat*.*, ichere is (he capital of Me Republican party- Where is their basis for future action? Upon ivliat ground can they maintain their organization? These inquiries force upon our mind the conviction that the Republicans, or rather the leaden of the party, desire Kansas to come in as a Slave State, in order that agitation may bo kept up. We must ‘'agitate, agitate. AGITATE,” they cry, aud the host way to keep up agitation is to a/fow the slave power to make encroachments upon territory devoted to freedom. Another Presidential election is coming on, and to furnish capital for It; Kansas most be earned with slavery. .This will inflame the minds of the people of the North—and thus - it is fondly hoped, by these infamous party leaders, that in the ensning Presidential contest the North will be arrayed in solid phalanx against - the South—and “Botrn with lAe Slave Poioer," be the rallying cry. • We may do the Republican leaders in* justice in this matter, but we believe we read their motives correctly. Wb are firmly convinced, from their icceat actions that all we have slated above will bo fully demonstrated in ilio'courueof time,though we earnestly hope that it .will not. We .do not deairo to see a sectional question again agitated in a contest for the Presidency, bit if Kansas is allowed to come in as a Slave State, wo believe there will be agitation to which all previous excite* meU apon the question of slavery will teem trifling.—*V. A, Tribune.

How to Raise Colls.

Agoodcolt—I say good, because a poor colt is not worth raising—should be weaned when four or sii mouths old; bo put io a warm stable, eight or ten feet square, well ventilated, with a plank floor, and ha kept clean; have the best of bay and water, and about a pint of oata tiro or three times a day. Hula coat of common saw-dnst, two inches thick, all over the floor, and all (bat gets wet remove at least three times a week, and add mote saw-dust in its place. In this way the colt will bare no lice. Keep a geod look out, fend if bis feet grow uneven pare them, that he may stand square on them, I have seep not a few colts—two, three or four years old—rwhose feet and ankles ware much oat of shape in consequence of their feet breaking off on one side, or wearing off, which might have been prevented by paring their feet occtiieially. If convenient, let him ran ont in a warm yard or abed in the day time, after he haa done crying for bis mother.

But forgive me, and as God is my maker you shall never have occasion to blame me again.*' •: V; ’ : ; The glad shout which went ,up from the deck assured Oaptam Witbers that he bad not lost a friend.

r A Murrain Approaching. A correspondent of the London Times says that an exceedingly fatal epidemic has been for some time ravaging the herds ot Central Europe, ami has now reached Konigsberg, where one proprietor.js raid lo Wre 1ml tint* ViMTidiisA bwl In one night The writer says: - ‘ ■ ■ In 1745 the' same or a like epidemic was introduced into England by means of two calves from Holland. In the second year after its introduction over 40,000 cattle died m Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire, and almost as many more in Cheshire. Daring the third year remuneration was given by the government, who bad ordered the destruction ot diseased cattle, for no fewer than 80,000 head while twice as many more, according to the report of one of the commissioners, died of the malady. In the fourth year it was equally fata), nor does it appear to have completely disappeared till eight yeara after. On the Continent, every exertion ia being made to arrest the progress of the in* fection, and military detachments are charged to destroy all cattle that became infected in Prussia. If only one of a hard should bo attacked the authorities order the whole to be slaughtered; and cordom sanitaira are established along the frontiers to prevent the ingress of cattle from districts in which the disease exists.. if these statements are not exaggerated; the loss of so many cattle most eeriotuly diminish the supply of food in Europe, and may rise to insurrectionary movements on the part of the people.

At four o’clock Mr. Sargent come up. He could stand it no longer. "Captain Withers!" he said, firmly, but respectfully, "this ship must not stand on so another hall hour.. i assure you, upon my honor, that the Island of Milo is directly ahead, and not over fifteen miles distant at the farthest!"

"Get out of thisl” yelled the captain. "Go below, sir, at once! I am commander hare, if you please!" "But, siri 1 am in earn—" "Out!" interposed the madman, with an oath. "Down Ulovr you go at once! I have kept the reckoning, if you please, ami wc arc a hundred miles from Milol”

Captain Abel Witi.eis was one of the best ship masters that ever handled a quadrant ; a peifcct sailor versed- in navigation, and possessing a very dear, calm judgment. And then he was.one of the most humane commanders in-muicaiililo marine,' —tieaiing his men Hku brothers and ever mindful of their Comfort amt wcllafe, AH this ho woe when ho i ms Abel Withcre; hut sometimes ho would put a thief into Ids mouth to hlcariiiins*ll away. When overcome by liquor he was totally an other being—rvcklu'S and cross, and wholly tin mindful of Ids conduct or its consequences. The -owners knew that he made a free uso of liquor sometimes when ou shore, hut they fanejed ilia.' ho kept perfectly straight when at sea. The fact was, neither his officers nor men'.would expose him, for ; they loved him too well. I In Mil, Withers had command of the ship Waterspout. She was a noble craft, and had a nohlo crew. Several times during the outward- hound course the skipper allowed liiinsclf to bo overcome by his memy. it seemed to ho a sort of disease with him. For several weeks in success ion he would remain • perfectly sober, sometimes taking an occasional glass of brandy and water, and at others going a week without tasting it, ,'lf by chance ho got enough on hoard to (cel it, he was sure to get drunk; and then came a storm, fur which he would subsequently alone hy renewed kindness and regret, . The Waterspout was boundfoi Smyrna. At noon on the twenty-third of September wo,were in latitude thirty-five degrees uml fifty minutes Kortb, and Longitude twenty degrees and forty-nine minutes Hast; about two hundred miles front Milo. .During that afternoon and the following .night there was but little wind. 'Die ship ■lay upon her course, aid averaged about •thicj knot*. On the next morning the •breeze freshened a lilt and came ont from •tbia Eastward, so w«: bad to stand upon • taoght bow-line, and off the course at that. At noon the sun was so deeply be•clouded that no observation could ho obtained; and thicqnne was calculated from dead reckoning. Towards the middle of •the afternoon the wind Jailed awhile, and then camo out strong from the Wutward. At the same time Capt. Withers came on deck—drank! His face was fleshed, bis eye wild and glaring, and Iris step unsteady. There was a peculiar completion of the nether lip that betokened the worst *tate of bis mind. As soon as ha saw .that the wind had changed, and that the .ship had it almost dead aft, he ordered .all sail to be made; studding-sails on both -sideii.and the sky-sails.set. - ' After this ithe log was thrown, and she run off eleven .knots. : - ■ . , • "Glorious!" cried Withers. "We’ll makVnpndiv for lost time. We have made just twenty miles since yesterday at this time."

Experiments in Potato Planting.

Mr. Brown has recently published an interesting experiment, touchlngths planting of tlic bntt ends and seed ends of pe* tntoc?. Last spring ha planted faar rows of equal length, of two rarfetirs of potato. In one row, with each variety, he plan* tnl only the "seed ends" ol I be. potato; in the other, the opposite, or “butt ends." These were (he junk eyes and the peach blows. Wo quote the results.from the concluding portion of his statement." 11m yield of theso four rows was ax fol* lows; ' x"

JS'Thc editor of the Wubasb Express, since the m eting. of the American party atIndlauap dis, seems to think that there is no furl lie necessity for the -Republican party. Had the editor and his Republican friends thro igliout the country taken the same view o f this matter just one year ago, Mr. Buchan in would not now bo the President, There is Just the same necessity for the Rep iblican party now, however," as there wa > at .that time—the uses . for such an organization is jiisl the same. It secured .the election- of the Democratic nominees li en, nml it will make-certain the election of Democratic nominees hereafter, unless it is entirely abandoned.

t5urgent still urged the captain to listen, hut he could make no impression upon him. lleipiickly found that Wither*was not only determined, but madly so, and that he would not hesitate to resort to violence if ho were opposed further. This the mate was anxious, to avoid, for the skipper was not only very powerful, but it pushed to physical*violence there would he danger of a death. So Sargent went below, hut ho resolved that in ono hour ho would come up, and then, if nothing else could lo done, the captain should bo secured by force of some stratagem, and kept bound until begot sober. The hour passed !iwny : and yet the ship stood on at the cld *peed. Mr; Sargent tcamo on deck and looked about him.— The stars were obspred by a thick hnzo, bnt the wind kept up fresh as ever. The male knew that land could not be far distant. Do made his way forward, and he fancied he clmld hear the roar of breakers. It would he already rlayurcak hut for the thick atmosphere. With a quick step the officer walked aft anl asked thu captain if ho would not change tho cour>c further to the Southward, ✓

“What!” cried Wilbers. Parting lack and clenching his “von up here again? Kow, hy the eternal heavens, I'M* let you know— —’* At this moment the captain’** voice was drowned hy a cry that esuio Irom the bows. Quick an thought the mate rushed forward. The mist had lifted —the first gleam of daylight was upon the water—and directly ahead, not more than three cable* lengths distant, loomed up a foam dashed, towering wall of jagged rocks! They looked like black monsters there with the mad sea lashing in fury against them ! A ‘Breaker* ahead!" shouted half, a dozen voices in concert.

The Press and Good Business.

A New Wheat,

There is no discount on the truth of this paragraph. Some men advertise for a short time after the commence business, and think that is sufficient; others inter' mit advertising after they have established a flourishing business by its aid. This is a mistake. From tho very, moment a 'house ceases to advertise, however largo its reputation and standing, it begins to decline. The changes are bo rapid in this country, the public mind go constantly occupied by new applicants for its favor and attention, that to bo ont of tho paper everybody seeks for information on every subject, is to bo forgotten.—The Press is daily more and more becoming n necessity, and its usefulness as an advertising medium is as constantly increasing. No man is wise, or just to himself, who undertakes to do business without availing himself of its advantages. ~~~~~

About' eleven years, ago, a plant of wheat bearing three cars, on a remarkably shorjt straw, was pulled by Mr.Qeorge Hope, of Fenton Barn<', East! Lothian, out of. a quarry in his farm, on the debris , of which it had accidentally grown, The grain which these cars contained, on be* tag sown for a few successive yian, produced enough to seed a field; and os the . wheat retained during that time thajehaN. aclcrs which distinguished it at first. Hr,".; Hope sent it into the market as a new', variety, and the Fenton, white .wheat accordingly is now known in every part of \ the country. It Is charictirisea bye moderately largo ear of even shape, on>V straw not only remarkably short, botre* markably varions m length, Theconieqaence of this little that its yield of grain generally exceeds tbo expectation formed'of it by those who see . it before harvest foir the' first timaVIff performances bu exceeded ’lla promise daring the years that .we ban' known it.

A Noble Servant Girl. —Mary. Nugent, a hired girl ot Pittsburg, was horribly burned by the explosion of a camphene lamp on Monday of last week. She first attempted to extinguish the flames by tl rowing herself into a tub of water, but filling in this, started to reach the street. At tbe back gate, however, she fell exhausted, and when the neighbor*, attracted by the light, reached her she bad only strength enough to say "save the children, fot God’s sake, don't let the children him.’* Such disinterested, thoughtfnlmss in the midst of death agonies more mints a monument than all the deeds of Ca sar. *

“Braces! braces!—All bauds!” cried Sargent, in a prompt, ringing lone which sounded clearly above tbc roll of the breakers. He had examined the lay of the rocks carefully,.and he knew bow to act, though hope bung upon, a thread. “For your lives, my men!” be shouted, springing towards the waist. “Cast off the starboard braces!—bsalinea the larboard ones!—Port the helm!—steady—steady— bard a«port,n‘ewl—hard a*pertl Oh! for your lives my men! for your lives! Meet her bow! - Bight y our Mm!" The ms* saw the danger but the item promptness of the mate-gave them strength, sndtbsy obeyed hlsordsn quickly and with a will. Aatbs yards were braced up, and the helm cast a-port, the old ship felt it, and came nobly up to the wind. Oaptain Withers bad besn paralysed by tbs first cry of breakers, and bis power seemed gone. Be stood at the taffrail, like one to a fearful dream, trembling from bead to foot, aid watching the working of the men with maniac eagerness. As the ship came up to' the wind her stem came in towards the recks, and the end of the spanker-boom actually hit a projecting point! There was a sudden shock—a bump—and the men were nearly thrown from their feot. The keel bad hit a snnker rock! A groan escaped the captain’s lips, and he clung to the rail for support, as the cold spray from the dread breakers came dashing over him.

'pubhwas Abel Withers, drunk. The breeze continned fresh and steady, and'all sail was kept on. At dark Mr. -Sargent, the mate, asked if ho should not .shorten sail. The captain swore like a madman.
