From the Lawrence Herald of Freedom, Jan. 19. THE STORM RISING.

It appears evident from the signs of the times that we are to have another inroad from Missouri on the Free State settlers. Preparations are being made along the border, and threats of extermination are continually heard. The people of the Territory should be ready for the blow at any time. It may come in the shape of a guerilla party, fifty or a hundred men on fust horses; their hellish work may be accomplished, and then they can retreat, as was the case with the expedition on Leavenworth a few weeks ago, when the press and fixtures of the Territorial Jierister were broken up and thrown into the river. It may come in the shape of a regular army, with all the munitions of war, as was the case of last of November. It may come in the shape of squads spread out all over the Territory, demolishing private dwellings and killing the inhabitants; but come as it may, there is no doubt but a concerted schema is on foot for the destruction of the bona fide settlers of the Territory, and the only question which needs answering is as to the time. Some think it will be on the 4th of March, when the State Legislature convenes at Topeka. Knowing ones amon the Missourians say the Legislature I will bo broken up with violence. Others say that Jones, who writes 'Micrm oi u )uglas County' af.er his name, is now iuV.f-; ing to hasten another issue. He feels that ! there was an inglorious termination of the; f.trmor invasion so far as he is concerned n,i hi, no.v desirous of trvinir his is not yet quiet. The volcano is slumbering onlv to break una wun greater violence. If the douds thicken, if the storm shall break upon the country; if Kansas shall be plunged into fraternal war, and blood shall actually flow her one of the most sanguinary struggles recorded on the page of history will transpire. The end can onlv bo seen when liberty and slave ry shall have rolled together in deadly strife, and the question shall have been decided whether liberty or slavery is national. e-fS The Missouri Compromise in the House.

The voters in the House of Keprescnia- dens, which cover upwards of 17,000 acres tives at Washington, on Saturday, the 2Gth j of land on the coast, the largest of which ult., on Mr. Dunn's and other resolutions ; are near Columbo. The plant thrives best involving the question of restoring the j in poor, sandy soil, in a damp atmosphere. Missouri Compromise, are quite interest- It grows wild in the woods to the size of an ing. Summarily, they may bo stat.'d ! apple tree, but when cultivated, is never thus: " j allowed to grow more than ten or twelve By a majority of one vote, the House ! feet in height, each plant standing separepudiated the doctrine that no one but a rate.

It is now out of blossom, that the restriction airainst slavery in Kan-1 but I am told the blossom is white, and

sas and Nebraska, imposed by the Com promise of lt20, ought to be restored. Bv a maioritv of three votes, they decid ed that it was not their solemn duty to per- j sis i:f their efforts Jo restore that res trie tion, until the object should be accomplished. By a majority of one vote, they decided that any agitation of the question of slavery, in or out of Congress is unwise, unjust to a portion of the American people, injurious to everv section of our country, and therefore should not be countenanced. By a majority of fifteen, they voted that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise line was an example ofuselesand fictious agitation of the slavery question, unwise and unjust to the American people. Among the gentlemen who voted with the South on all these questions, were four from the State of New York, viz: Messrs. Kelley and Williams, Democrats, and Messr. Valk and Whitney, K. N's. Messrs. Haven, K. X., and Wheeler, also of N. Y.. vo'od with Iho South on some of the reso luuons, an i on others witu tne orin Messrs. Fuller, of Maine, Peck, of Michigan, Hall, of Iowa, Calwalder, Jones, Packer, Fuller, (K. N.)and Broom, K. X., Pa., English and Miller, of Indiana, Allen, Richardson, Harris, and Marshal, of Illinois, voted with the South on all the resolutions. Several other Northern men voted with the South on all the resolutions. On the whole, these various ballotings confirm our belief that a vote actually to restore inc iuissouri compromise nn;, can-! i -i - f i I not obtain a majority even in the Hou-e. Your Neighbors. Take care of them. Don't let them stir without watching. They may do something wrong if you do. T be sure you never knew them to do anything very bad, but it may be on your own account they have not. Perhaps if it had not been for your kind care they might have disgraced themselves and families a long time ago. Therefore, don't relax any efFort to keep them where they ought to be; never mind your own business, that will take caro of itself. There is a man passing along there, he is looking over the fence into his neighbor's garden be suspicious of him, perhaps he contemplates stealing something some of these dark nights, there is no knowing what queer fancies may get into his head. If you see any symptoms of any one passing out of the path of rectitude, don't say anything to the erring individual about it, but tell every one el-e that you can sec and be particular to see a great many. It is a gxd way to circulate such things, and though it may not benefit yourself, nor any one elso in particular, it will be something equally important about some one else. Do keep something going, silencers a dreadful thing, though it was aaid there was silenco in the courts of heaven for the space of half an hour: don't let any such thing occur on earth it would be too much like heaven for the inhabitants of this mundane sphere. If, after all your watchful care, you can't Reo anything out of the way in any one, you may be sure it is not because they have not done anything wrong; perhaps in an unguarded moment you lost sight of them; throw out hints that they are not better than they ought to be that you should not wonder if people found out what they were after awhile, and that they may not always carry their heads so high. Keep it .agoing, and some one will take the hint, and begin to help you along then there will be music, and everything will work to a charm. The receipts of the London Timet, are $3,000,000 rw?r annum.

Facts for Firmers. It is an error to plant seeds from a State further South. In a cold season only the seed from a colder climate will ripen well. Never k ep your cattle short, few farmers can afford it. If you starve them they will starve you. It will not do to hoe a great field for a little crop, or to mow twenty acres for five loads of haw Enrich the land and it will pay you for it. Better farm thirty acres by halves. In dry pastures dig for water on the brow of a hill,, springs arc more frequently near the surface on a bight than in a vale. The foot of the owner is the best maunre for land. Cutbuslws that you wish to destroy, in (he summer, and with a sharp instrument they will bleed freely and die. Accounts should be kept, detailing the expenses and product of each field. When an implement is no longer wanted for the season, lay it carefully aside, but first let it be well cleaned. Obtain good seed, prepare your ground well, sow early, aud pay very little attention to the moon. Cultivate vour own heart aiiht. Re

member that 'whatsoever a man sowoth that shall he also reap.' Do not be inn farming bv building an extensive house, nor a spacious barn, till Mi have something to store in it. Keep notes of remarkable events on vour; faim Recording vour errors will be of benefit to you. Good fences make good neighbors. The better animals can be fed, and the more comfortable they can be kept, the more profitable they are, and all farmers j work for proiit. Sow clover deep, it secures it against the drouth. Cows well fed in winter, give more milk in summer. When you see the fence down, put it up, if it. remains until to-morrow the cattle may get over. What ought to be done to-day, do it, for to-morrow it mav rain. The Cinnamon Fields is Ckylo.v. One morning was, as usual on our first arrival, taken up oy visits, in tne aiicrnoon we lrove through the far-famed cinnamon gar spreads when in full blossom to cover the garden. Atter Hearing so mucn oi tne spicy gales from this iland, I was much disappointed at not being able to discover any scent, at least from the plants. In passi'ig through the gardens, there is a; fragrant smelling flower growing under them, which first led us into the belief that wo smelt the cinnamons, but we were soon undeceived. On pulling off a twig, you perceive the spicy edor very strongly, but I was surprised to hear that the flower had little or none. As the cinnamon forms the onlv considerable export of Cylon. it is of cmrse preserved with care. By the old Dutch law, the penalty for cutting a branch was no hs than the loss of a hand; now a fine expiates the offence. The neighbor hood of Columbo is particularly favorable to its growth, being well sheltered, with a high equable temperature, and as showers tall irequeutiy tne grounu is nev er parcn-1 equeutly tne .1.1 ! 1. eu. jus nop j jener. 1 T. I lit Dkcisiox ox the Liquor Law. M!orris i Tracy who was committed on trial beftre Justice McFarlanc, for a violation of the liquor law, was brought before his Honor, Judge Blake, on Saturday last, on a writ of hahcn.s corpus. The question of the constitionality of the law was argued by counsel; and Judge Blake gave his decision in a clear, lucid manner. He decided that the law, as it now stands, is constitutional that the legislature possesses the power, under the constitution, top as-s Jawy i t ,i 1 . ..CK .. proniouing or regulating me sue oi irpwi Such power had been rcpeateciiy re cognized by former decisions of the Supreme O.urt. He held that, under the present law, any one may sell liuors for the purposes therein specified; and that nonfl may sell for the purposes thereby prohibited. The prisoner was remanded to jail. This decision has given general satisfaction. The law having been shorn of its objectionable features by the Supreme Court, a general desire is manifested to sue it enforced. We believe that the law is far moro effective for accomplishiug'good than if it had been sustained with its" arbitrary features and odious system of county agencies. Delphi Times.

Cheap Ice Houses. A correspondent of the State Jvurtud furnishing that paper with the following cheap and simple mode of erecting ice houses: Take two inch oak plank and build a box eight feet square, seven feet high on one side, and ten on tho other, thus giving a pitch of three feet on the roof; leave it open three feet at the top of the ten-foot side for ventilation; double roof it with inch boards twelve feet long, letting them project out a foot at each end; set it in a shady place on descending ground, so that surface water will not accumulate: put a few loose boards on the bottom, and than fill in with saw dust eighteen inches: then procure the ice from eight inches to a foot thick, and build it up six square feet (filling the crevices with saw dust) thus leaving a space all around the ice of one foot to be filled in with saw dust throwing in all you can on the top. Thus you have an ice house complete, which will supply any

familv. When you wish ice, hoe away the mist, taice out vour piece, and nil it up 1 . . 1 . 1 11 . tcr, and the saw dust immediately slips oil from it. In this nay, with only six cubic fevt of ice, 1 not only had all I wanted for familv use, but supplied a store, and had : s nie for mv neighbors besUes. Guarding against Vulgar Language. There is as much connection between the words and thoughts as there is between the thoughts and words; the latter are not only the expression 0! !.nC farmer, hut they have the power to react upon the soul, and leave the stain of their corruption there. A youn man who allows himself to use one profaue or vulgar word, has not only shown that there is a foul spot on his mind i but by the utterance of that word I.e ox-! 11. 1 r ill t tends mat spot and innames it, mi, dv indulgence, it will soon pollute a.n.1 ruin the whole soul. Be careful of your words, as well as your thoughts. If you can control the tongue, that no improper words are pronounced by it, you will soon be able also to control the mind aud save that from corruption. You extinguish the fire by smothering it, or by preventing vulgar thoughts bursting out in language. Nevcr urtera word anvwhere which vou would be ashamed to speak in the presence of the most R.üliej fornrii0f or the most reli-u.us man. The New Orleans Ship Canal. We some time airo referred to the uro:.w.f . rt...:i i:... i r. .i... t; ... - i - jt . uu..u.,.ä .t i.oin UU; Aui.sisj,ippi KivertoLake Borgne, by whidi vessels from the Gulf can n ach the wharf of Xew Orleans without having (o be piloted and i ii i e .! t l towed all the way from the Delta. V e notiee that it isj still agitated by the jK'ople of th hat city. They say that something must ! x- done to arrcJt the drain of lif. bh.od ofi , - . . . b Xew Orleans, aud restore the prosperity she once enjoyed. The lhita says it is undeniable that New Orleans has outgrown its commerce, and that there is a surplus of improved real estate greatly exceeding the demand, the consequence of which is that property has depreciated one third in value from the figure it stood at before the cross railroads began to divert trade from t!:e Gulf. All the stock n ?eded to build the canal ias been subscribed except three hundred ami iiftv thousand dollars, and confident expectations are entertained that the whole sum will be raised and the work construct led." It isan astounding thing how little a matter will sometime. disconcert a man who is accustomed to speak in public, and to have his thoughts about him, and ready at command on almost all occasions. "I was once openeng a speech from the stump," said a distinguished western political oraatr to us recently, "ami was jusi begin . .1 1 .1 ning to warm with my subject, when a re markably clear and deliberate voice sp)ke out behind me saving "Guess he would'nt talk quite so hifalutin if he knew that his trowsers was bu'st clean out behind!" From that moment I couldn't 'get on.' The people in front began to laugh, and there was a loud roar in my rear, and I dared not reverse my position for fear of having a new audience of my condition. I made, or rather invented, an excuse for delay and sat down. The malicious scoundrel," continued the rator, "it was only a mean trick af.er all. There was nothing under heaven the mailer with mv unmentionables.' Senator Douolas. His Honor, Mayoi Castle entertained an elegant party of friends and guests at his residcrce on the west side, last evening. There was no cold formality, no restraint, none of the mauvaise honte of ihc beau mondc, nor the killingetiquette of the same fashionable sphere. Pleasure beamed on every face, and nieriiment pervaded entire assembly. Among the guests, we were delighted to sec Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, looking mush as h was wont a few years since, when in the full enjoyment ;f excellent health. We wero pleased to learn lhat the distinguished Senator is rapidly recovering from his late irdisposiiion ofan effect ion f the throat; thanks t the skillful treatment of our eminent resiJent surgeon, Dr. Ackley. Mr. Douglas will probably leave for Washington next week; the annnouncement of which will give great pleasure to all who honor a bold, fearless, upright and patriotic statesman. Lleavtlaiul J lam dealer. Plain Talk. A clever voumr woman says that young gentlemen talk nonsense beiore young lauies because in ey uuiik ine ladies like it, for it makes them laugh. If the ladies would always look very grave when tho gentlemen talk ridiculous nonsense, and sniiu when they talk sense gentlemen might improve. Rut ladies often begin to yawn when gentlemen attempt sense; and so in in self-defense, the gentlemen are obliged to adhere to tho lino of conversation which lightens up the ladies faces most. The fact is, tho ladies are difficult to please with sonoc; and they want so much poetry; sentimentality and eye white, that very few gentlemen are able to supply them. Thero was fiendish work at the lato battle of Kars, one man, a Turk, who shot down a Russian, seeing the blood sriirting out, rushed forward, caught the blood i1: his two hands and drank it. Ho then fastened on to the body with his teeth, shook it like a dog, and bit pieces out of it. Thi is war.
