JfcfTThe Indiana Juutn.il publishes Gov. Wright's Kansas letter, and makes some extended comments upon it, in whieh the

Governor's views are treated with but little j ceremony. The burthen of the Journal ! ! editor's lor.ff article is that the question at 1 issl,e is no longer one between the citizens j0f Kansas themselves, but between the citj izens of Kansas on the one side, and the Mis sourians on the other, and that therel fore it is right and proper that the citizens ! of the northern states should interfere in ! I behalf of the people of Kansas against the i "threatened invasion of the Missourians." ! Wc have seen a great many articles iu re- j publican papers about this anticipated in- j ' vasion of Kansas, and a great deal of pre- j ! tended indignation and frothv declamation I ; expended thereon, but we have never yet I ' seen in anv of these papers a statement of the causes which would probably lead to this raid of the Missourians.

That they iccre unlawful, illegal, and there 1 fore void, yve think there cannot be a shadana perhaps one or tyvo other Mates, yet it is the law, and should not be set aside without good and sufficient cause. I Jut 110 portion of the people of Michigan ever yvent to tho extreme of overturning the lawful territorial government before their admission into the Union, as the Free State men r L- .1 . . 1 ... 111 of Kansas threaten to do, and will probably 'Attempt to do, and to accomplish which purpose they are now asking for assistance from abroad. We think there can lw no question whatever as to the correctness of the following facts: 1st. That Gov. Reedcr's election as delegate to Congress yvas in , clear and palpable v iolation of a law parsed j by a legislature whose members he him- : self had ommissioiied. 2d. That the elec- ; i(n (ir m,mbors l( tl, pn.lc.lldeil rusti. tutjona convenlion Wu, tw ;u.t of a part . j and not of the peopl, and yvas without any . . , . ' ,i, ..... . , j law either of the territorial Legislature or ! of Concrres to authorize it, and was of icour.se void. 3d. It follows, as a matter of course, that the adoption of that constitution by the Free State party gave it no force or effect, that all elections ur.der it were ... 1 . - ,, void, and that the attempt of the "Gov ernor-clect and his confodciates to exercise the functions of government under it

will necessarially involve them in a conflict with the civil and military power of the United States. Foreseeing that this will

and must be the result of their unlawful proceedings to call their conduct by no harsher name Lane, Robinson & Co. have raised the hue and cry that they are threatened wi h an invasion from Missouri when they shall attempt to set their pretended government in motion; and to arouse the fury and fanaticism of the people of the North, thev have sent out emissaries to make fiery speeches to excited multitudes, and endeavor to seduce them all to take' up arms and rush to the scene of antieipated warfare. These Free State men know very well that it is not the Missourians but tho Unked States forces they will have to resist if they shall persist in their mad schemes; and if they w-ire honest they would tell the public so. But no.

Queen Victoria opened the Parliament on the .'list of January. In the House of Lords, Earl Gas ford moved un address in response to the Queen's speech, which yvas Seconded by bud Abingdon. Earl Derby did not oppose the motion, but said he considered the royal speech verv bare, cold and meagre. He thought it ouuhtto refer to tho state of affairs with America, India, and the colonies, as yvell as in relation, to the fall of Kars. He considered the government had violated a municipal law of the United State, in the attempt to enlist men, and he hoped that an apology would le offered, such as could be received. He regretted, however, that there yvas not a conciliatory paragraph introduced into the speech, referring to the subject. The whole speech, ho said, w.ns redolent of water gruel.. The Eail of Clarendon replied by referring to the present relations with the United States. Ho said: In my opinion there ean be no doubt as to the common sense view of the'ohiT.i-

regret that the question is now made between the people on one sue, ami Uiocnureh ami the army on the other. The lowest classes of the people arc ignorant and prejudiced, and are willing instruments of the bigotry and avarice of the church, and the tyranny of the army. Rut there is another and more elevated and independent class of the inhabitants, yvho have ever exhibited an uncompromising hostility to despotism, whether religious or military, and have, for more than a quarter of a century, pursued their liberties through convulsion ami blood Even should the ro-ac'ionary movement temporarily fail, still it is evident that it will rise again, resting, as it does, upon the permanent basis of organizations that canno be eradicated.

The Sxow. Prof. Charles G. Page thus discourses of the snow and its benefits: . The snow was proverbially called the "poor farmer's manure" bef re scientific analysis had shown that it contained a larger per ccntage of ammonia than rain. The snow serves as a protecting mantle to the tender herbage and the roots of all plants

against the fierce blasts and colds of winter An examination of snow in Siberia showed . . . that when the temperature of the air was 72 degrees below zero the temperature ,f the snow a little below the surface was 29 decrees above zero over 100 decrees diffcrence. The snow keeps the earth just below its surface in a condition to take on chemical changes which would not happen if the earth were bare and frozen to a great depth. The snow prevents exhalation from the earth, and is a poweiful absorbent, retainini; and leturninir to the earth jases arisim; from vegetable, and animal decomposition. The snow, though it falls heavily at the door of the poor and brings death and starvation to the fowls of the air and beasts of the field, is vet of incalculable benefit in a climate like ours, and especially at this time, when the deep springs of the earth .vere failing, and the mill streams j were refusing their motive powcis to the craving appetites ot man.
