tltdt)i OUR CHILDHOOD. BY GEO. D. FREXTICE: Tis sad yet sweet to listen To the soft wind's gentle swell, And think we heu the music Our childhood knew so well; To gaze out on the trf h, And the boundless fields of air, And feel again our boyhood wish To roan like acgels there! There aro many dreams of gladness That cling around the past And from the tonb of feeling Old thoughts come thronging fast; The forms we loved so dearly In the happy days now gone The beautiful and lovely. So fair to look upon! Those bright and lorely maidens Who seemed so formed for bliss Too glorious and too heavenly For such a world as this! Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming In a sea of liquid light, And whose locks of gold were streaming O'er brows so sunny and bright! Whose smiles were like the sunshine In the spring time of the yearLike the changeful glooms of April Th3y followed every tear! They have passed, like hope, awayAll their loveliness has fled Oh! many a heart is mourning That they are with the dead. Like the bright buds of summer, They have fallen from the stem Yet oh, it is a lovely death To fade from earth like them! And yet the thought is saddening To muse on such as they, And feel that all are beautiful Are fast passing away! That the fair ones whom love Grow to each loving breast, Like the tendrils of the clinging vineThen perish where they rest. And can we but think of these In the soft and gentle spring, When the trees are waving o'er us, And the flowers are blossoming! For we know that winter's coming With his cold and stormy sky And the glorious beauty round us Is blooming but to die! THE OLD MAN'S WISH. BT H. W. ROCKWELL. My youthful years are sped, My boon-companions fled, And I am going fast. The way that they have passed To the dead! The forms I lored are flown. The lips 1 kissed are gone, And naught I see but change In the streets that I range Through the town I watch my ebbing glass, And the shadows as they pass; And I know my life will wend Very soon te its endSoon, alas! I would rather have it so; For life's a weary show, . And iü vanity and lust Are unknown in the dust Whtnce I go. The boy that pass my door Look in, but shout no more; Nor do they stop and laugh. When they see me with my staff, As before; For they know that day by day I am wearing fast away: And 't is well it is my lotIt were strange if it were not To decay. With the yellow leaf and sere, I hasten to my bier; For life's a twice-told tale, And me 't will not avail To be here: For the wold is grown unkind, And no rest therein I find; Nor therefore shall I grieve, When it comes my turn to leave All behind. Startling News from Kan sas. Below we publish Gov. Walker's Droolamation to the people vl Lawrence in Kan sas. It states that open defiance to the law of the territory, must and will be put down even by force. If the few dishonest knaves who are deluding the people of Lawrence, and of a few other places into wild schemes of hostility against the gen eral government will not desist, but on the contrary force the Executive of the Terri tory to compel the observance of the law. we know of no resort to which the Govern or can appeal, but the harsh and severe Ana of arms. It will be seen that the Governor has proceeded to Lawrence, ta king with him a force sufficient to maintain the laws, and while we earnestly hope that the acquiescence of the people will render a resort to violence unnecessary, we have no doubt that order will be maintained. The following is the Governor's proclama tion: Chicago Timet. TO THE PEOPLE OF KAN8AS: LATasrrroRTH, July 15, 1857. I have karned that a considerable num ber of the citizens of Lawrence, in thh

Territory, hate adopted, as they claim, by

ä popular rote, a charter for their local government. A copy of that charter has been placed in my hands; upon comparing which with that granted by the Territorial Legislature, last winter. I find that they differ intentionally in many essential particulars. The new charter, then, is set up, not only without any authority of law, but in direct and open defiance of an act of tho Territorial Legislature on the same subject. ' On this point your committee, whose views have been adopted by you, make the following statements: "Under ordinary circum-tancfts the more regular method of proceeding would be to obtain a charter from the Territorial authorities. As the Territorial government, however, in no sense represents the people of Kansas, was not elected by them, and can have no right to legislate for them, we cannot accept one at its hands. And, as the Slate government ha3 not, as yet, deemed it advisable to proceed to the organization of local and muncipal governments, we cannot obtain a charter from it. There is therefore left us only alternative of a charter springing directly from the people, or a continuance in our present unorganized condition. "Under theve circumstances, you have seen fit to instruct us to present a charter having discussed its provisions in a preliminary assemblage, and now propose to submit it to a full vote of the people for approval or rejection." It will be perceived that the authori.y of tho Territorial government is heie distinctly denied, whilst that of the so called State government is acknowledged, it is conceded that no charter has been granted by them. Indeed, it is a fact that, a.though this Stale guvernmens has, in uself, no legal assistance or aiuhoriiy.yet you asked and failed to receive a charter from ih;ra. Uuder tli8e circumstances, you have proceeded to establish a government for the city ot Lawrence in direct defiance of the Terrnoiial government, and denying its existence or authority. You have granted to this city government the authority to elect a Mayor and Board - of -Aldermen, City Assessor, Treasurer, Justices of the Peace, dec. You have granted to the Mayor and Aldermen most extensive powers, including the right to levy and rolled taxes upon real and personal property within the limits of the city, whether belonging tj residents or non-rebiJer.ts, and all other powers usually belonging to a ciiy government. You have imposed on all these officers the duty of taking an oath to support ihid so-called State Constitution, thus distinctly superseding, so far a9 in your power, the Territoii.il Government create! by the Congress of the UuileJ Stales. You havo caused these ptoceedings to be printed in handbill form, and have distributed them, I am informed, throughout the Territory. with the view to incite the other cities, towns and counties in Kansaä to establish in8urrectory governments, thereby placing the people of this Territory, so far as in your power, in open conflict with the Government of the United States. The more considerable portion of your party having induced your Topeka Legis lalure to enact the laws urged by you, cre ating municipal government, you have, even in defiance cf their authority, which you profess to acknowledge, proceeded fo create such a government for Lawrence, and are now urging other localities to pur sue a similar course. Your evident purpose is thus to involve the whole Tertitory in insurrection, and to renew the scenes of bloodshed and cWil war. Upon you then. must rest the guilt and responsibility of this contempla.ed revolution. You will be justly chargeable in law mid in conscience with all the blood that mav be shed in m this contest, and upon you must fall the punishment. You have elected your officers under the charter, and instructed them to enter upon the immediate discharge of their duties, including the adoption of ordinances and the execution thereof, under au au thority having itself no legal existence, and established in direct defiance cf the Government of the United States. From all these (acts, it is obvious if yeu are permitted to proceed, and especially if your example should be followed as urged by in you in other places, that for all practical purposes in many important particu lars, the Tern:orial government will be overthrown. The charters granted by that government for similar purposes, will be disregarded, and the justices of the peace and other officers, will be brought neces Ririly into conflict and collision with the so-called officers claiming to act under a a different authority. The Territory will thus be involved in inextricable confusion and litigatiou; the value of your property be greatly depre ciated; your titles, transfers, transactions and contracts will b subject to endless and

costly disputes, and all will suffer from

this insurrection, except the lawyers who have stimulated this movement. A government founded upon insurrection and usurpation will be substituted for that established by the authority of Congress, and civil war will bo renewed throughout our limits. If your authority to act in thi3 matter for the city of Lawrence is permitted, a similar authority must be acknowledged to every other town, city or county, result in inevitable and most disastrous conflict; and if successful, the Territorial government be overthrown in detail, as is your present purpose. You were distinctly informed in my inaagural address of May last, that the validity of the Territorial laws was acknowledged by the Government of the United States, and that they must and would be carried into force under my oath of office, and the instructions of the President of the United States. , The same information was repeated in various addresses made by me throughout the Territory. At the same time every assurance was given you that the rights rf the people of this Territory under the organic act to establish their own ötate government and frame their own social institutions, would be acknowledged and protected. If laws have been enacted by the Territorial Legislature which are disproved of by a majority of the people of tho Territory, the mode by which they could enact anew Territorial Legislaiu.e and repeal those laws, was also designated. If there are any grieva -ces if which you have any just right to complain, the lawful, peaceful rarnner in which you could remove them, in subordination to the government of your country, was als pointed out. You have, however, chosen to disregard the laws of Congress and the Territorial government crea ei by it, and whilst professing to acknowledge a State government rejected by Congress, and which can therefore not exist but only by a successful rebellion, and exacting from all your offi cers the perilous and sacrilegious oath to support the so callell S'-aie Constitution; yet you have even Ha defiance of the so-i-.uieu otauj iiegisiature wiucti reiused to C' . . T - '1.' . , i . grant you AliartA; proceeded to create a local government of your own, based only upon insurrection and revolution. The very oath which you require from all your officers to support your Topeka Constitu tion, is violated in the very act of putting in operation a charter rejected even by them. A rebellion so iniquitous and necessa rily involving such awful consequences has never K-fore disgraced anr ae or country. Permit ma to call your attention as 3tiil claiming to be citizens of the United States, to the results of your revolutionary proceeding?. You are inaugurating rebellion and resolution; you are disregarding the laws of Congress and of tho Territorial government, and defying their authoii y; you aro conspiiing to overthrow the government of the United States in this Territory. Your purpose, if carried iuto effect in the mode designated by you, by putting your laws forcibly into execution, would involve you in the guilt and crime of treason. You stand now, fellow citizens, on the brink of an awful precipice, and it becomes my duty to warn you ere you take the fatal leap into the gulf below. If your proceedings are not arrested you will necessarily destroy the peace of this Territory and involve it in all the horrors of civil war. I warn you, then, before it is too late, to recede from the perilous position in which you now stand, I appeal onco more to your reason and patriotism. I ask you in the name of our common country, in tho name of the Contnitulion and the Union, to desist from this rebellion. I appeal once more to your love of country, to your regard for its peace, prospeiity and reputation, to your affectiott for your wives and children, and to all those patriotic motives which ought to influence American cinzons, to abandon this contempkved revoluti n. If you have wrongs, redress them through the peaceful instrumentality of the ballot-box, in the mode prescribed by the laws of your country. At all arguments heretofore addressed by me to you have failed äs yet to produce any effect upon you, I have deemed it necessary for your safety and that of the Territory, and to save you from the perilous consequences of your own acts, under the authority vested in me by the President of the United States, to order an adequate force of the troops of tho United States into your immediate vicinage to per form the painful duty of arresting your revolutionary proceedings. Let mo im plore you not to compel me to appeal to the military power which is 'required in the last resort to protect the government of your country. You cannot carry your re bellious purposes into effect, without com ing into unavoidable and coen conflict with

18&7. the troops and government of the United States. Let me adjure you, then, once more, to abandon those proceedings before you involve yourselves in the crime of treason, and subject the peoplo of the city of Lawrence to all the horrors and calamities of civil war. If you will desist from the projected resolution, the past will be forgotten as far as practicable, but if you persist in passing these laws and carrying them into execution, thus defying and superceding the government of your country, the deplorable consequences must be upon your own heads and those of your associates. It will be my purpose, if you still persist, to spare all bloodshed as far as practicable, and subject tho leaders and projectors of this revolutionary movement to the punishment prescribed by law. I will accompany the troops to Lawrence with a view to prevent, if possible, any conflict, and in the sincere hope that the revolutionary movement contemplated by you, and now so nearly accomplished, will, ere it is too late, bft abandoned by you. If you can be influenced by no other motives, the evident fact that the power of the government is adequate to prevent the accomplishments of your purpose, should induce you to desist from these proceedings. That the same overruling Providence who holds in his hands the destiny of our beloved country may now incline your hearts to peace, and influence you to abandon this fatal enterprise, is the sincere wish of your fellow-citizen, R. J. WALKER, Governor of Kansas Territory. Difficulties or the Administration. Washington, July 14. The administration have encountered not a few and very unexpected difficulties since their accession, but they seem to be in a fair way to overcome them. The intelligence of Gov. Geary's resignation took them by suprise, and produced not a little confusion. It was not an easy matter to find a suitable man for the post, nor was it probable that the administration could, by any means in their power, secure the pacification of ths Territory. They were of course to meet with the opposition of the extreme political parties, northern and southern, to whatever course of moderate measures they, or tho Territorial au thorities acting under their instructions and with their approval, might adopt. The North first opened firs upon Walker and the administration, but, after his Topeka speech, it was a little slackened, and the artillery of the South opened. At one time it appeared that the South was very generally disaffected towards the administration. But it does not prove to be so. The South care very little about the matter, and appear to have come to the conclusion with the Richmond Enquirer, that Kansas must be a fre? State, and that ll.oy might as well assent to it. The opposition was from Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and a small portion of the democracy of Tennessee and Lousiana. Virginia and North Carolina have manifested, by their press and their most influential men, their entire approbation of the position taken by the administration on tho subject. On the whole, it would appear that the administration has gained in strength from the very causes which threatened to destroy their harmony and prostrate the democratic party. The party ha3 become strengthened by the shock. There is no longer any well-founded apprehension that the Kansas question is to endanger the peace of the Union: and Col. Ke'tt is entirely mistaken in hi3 prediction that the anti-slavery party will, through the Kansas question, take the government at the next Presidential election. Gov. Walker himself, and other intelligent men in Kansas, have directly given opinions that Kansas is to come peaceably out of the trouble. If so, it will be impossible for the republican party to make any stand at the next election, upon that question. There are signs that the republican party 13 mudi weaker now than it was last November. They then came as near as they ever will and in fact too near to tho possession of the government. It is the favorite theory of the nullifiers, secessionists and co-operationists, that the abolition party, in 1860, will elect a President, and then the South is to unite in resistance. The south would not unite, unless in the contingency of a fraudlent election, or the choice of a President who was pledged to use his power, backed up by that of his parly, for the purpose of overthrowing the constitutional rights of the south; and, in euch case, they certainly ought to unite. But there is less danger, at vhi3 moment, of such a concurrence of evils, than there ever was before, at any time in the history of the countiy. The Utah problem also becarao very troublesome, just at the moment when the present administration took tho reins. Brigham Young had been permitted to re

8,

main in power three year3 after his term had expired, and to assume absolute sway.

Tb latn Administration had "criven him rope," with a witness so much that he had run riot with his license, andapsumed a rebellious and defiant position toward the government. Then, again the administration met with a stumbling block, upon the threshold cf their career. Without acting rashly, they proceeded to take cautious and sure steps for tho enforcement of the laws of the United States in Utah, and the due administration of justice. The measures that have been taken will certainly effect the object in view. Already internal dissensions are breaking up the Mormon system, and under the protection of the United States authorities and forces, the ser adinir and disaffected Mormons will become so numerous as to render Brigham Young quite powerless, and bring about an abatement of Mormon abuses. With these domestic questions, troublesome as they are, the administration has dealt with moderation, firmness and success. A High-Toned South Carolinian, and the Patent Sale Game. The New York Times of tho 14th, has the follow in?: On Saturday, Mr. Bush, a South Carolinian, of tall stature and swarthy hue, just arrived in town, stood on the Aster House steps, observant of the bustle and business of Broadway. While thus engaged, he was accosted by a respeciablydressod man, who inquired if Mr. B. was a southerner. The answer was in the affirmative. The sharper said that he was delighted at meet ing a southerner, he was one himself, and any gentleman from the south he considered his friend. After conversing on different subjects, the sharper suggested a walk for it must be lonely for a stransre in such a city as New York, with no friends to show him about, and volunteered to accompany Bush to Greenwood. The offer was cordially accepted and the two set out together. In their rambles over the Cemetery they came upon another gentlemanly-looking man, who sat in tho shade of a tree, intent ly examining a little ivory box. Sharper !So. 1 addressed the holder of the box. andi wished to know what it was. Sharper No. 2 replied that it was a safe that he had invented, and he intended shortly to proceed to Washington to have it patented. He opened the box, and went on in a flowing style to explain its ingenious mechanism. He then passed it over to Sharper No. 1 and Mr. Bush, for them to examine. They found a pea inside, Trhich No 1, unobserved by No 2, threw on the ground, and then he closed the box and returned it to No. 2. "Now," said the latter, "the box is closed, rnd ifyou can open it and take the pea out, I will give you a hundred dollars'." "But there is no pea in it!" said No. 1. "Yes there is," rejoined No. 2. No. 1 offered to bet $25 that there was not. No. 2 accepted, and proposed to make it SI 00, or more, if necessary. No. l's finances being email, he appealed to his southern friend, saying; "It's a sure thing and.'if you have any money by you, there is a chance to make something." Mr. Bush, nothing loth to bet, under the circumstances, planked down all the money he had with him, about 680, and hi3 golJ watch, worth 8100 more. No. 2 thereupon opened the box, and to the consternation of the southerner, displayed the pea; then, pocketing the stakes, before the southerner had recoverod from his amazement, walked off. Sharper.No. 1. (To southerner) How the duce was that done? I dont care about losing the money, but I don't like to be tricked in that way. Southerner. Neithtr do I care about the money, but I'm sorry to lose my watch. Sharper. Yes, that's too bad; (working himself into a passion, and feeling into his pantaloons pocket, I wish I had knife, I'd get that wath back again. Have you a kuife about you? Southerner. Producing his bowie)- Yes, here is one,(passing it over to his quondam friend.)Sharper. (Moving off quickly in pursuit) I'll have that watch back, or I'll cut his guts out. Mr. Bush waited the return of his southern friend and his watch, but he saw neither acrain. of course. He concluded he was sold, and returned to the Aster House a wiser roan. He said he would not tell the police, for he was ashamed to .let hi3 friends know how green, he was. Mirth should be the embroidery of the conversation, not tho web; and wit the ornament of the mind, üotthe furniture. Praise, when judiciously bestowed, tends to encourage every ona in tha pursuit of excellence. The weakest spot in any man, is whcroi he thinks himself the'wiscst.

From tr.e Journal c f Commerce. "Do Your Dtstv -Ifta in tain the Constitution and the taiTS." The reply cf the President of the United States to tho U. S. Marshal of Ohio, whasked for instructions with regard to the recent collision between his deputy and the local authorities, was: "Do your duty maintain the constitution and the laws." This reply wa3 prompt and to the purpose; and the admirable sentiment which it conveys in so fow words may be taken as index of the firm, manly, fearless, and uplight course which President Buchanan means to pursue in minislciing the government of this great republic. Wi.hiu tl. short time that he has filled' the cxecuiivo chair, he has given abundant proof tttitk Lw is determined to practx-e himself the admirable precept that he erjiins others to follow, and we have already seen thi good effects of his determination. His rece:-:t conduct in ordering cut the U. S. Muii.e at the request cf the Mayor of Washi igioit to aid the civil power in subduing the lav -less rioters who had invaded the Feder! cnpitol, in order, by violence, to prcveu; peaceful citizens from casting their votes as they thought proper, lias boon xvn: rrny approved throughout the count-y; and whih it has proved to the law-abiding portion of our population that they will be protected in the lawful exercise of their privileges; and that the supremacy of the law will hi upheld at any cost, it teaches th.3 f ic-'.ious and tho lawless in every part cf Uni.n. who acknowledge no rule but their own evil passions, that there is a power st!crr than they, which cannot be baPJed or deceived, and vhich will surely be put f.rih on every occasion when the constitution and laws are attacked. The firm, energetic and impartial court i he has caused to be pursued with regard ! the Kansas difficulty, which at one lin- j threatened civil war, has been attended with signal success, and will La effectively sustained by a majority of the settlers of that Territory. Having pointed out the goverun'i0!,t, connituled in compliance with thj law, to which tho people vreie bound to Submit, and which he ws.3 resolved to uphold; having shown them that reason rtvl good sensa were opposed to the course that a few political knaves oufside th? Tcrri'.oiy recommended, namely to defv the delorated authority cf th2 Executive aud re.-ist the laws; and having convinced then. th:.i he was resolved to administer tha government impartially, and protect all parties :u the peaceful and uniestrizted cxerdeecf tl right of elective franchise hs has ci-anpleto-ly quieted lh? treasonable and revc-hiltan.ny portion of both the contending fictions and demonstrated the necessity of obedience and submission io the laws. By this cours., whatever th3 complexion of the Karsai conslituiionnl convention, tho "Kansas difficulty" has been removed, sud peace, ywspeiity, and industrial activity r.O'T reign, where, less than a year ago, thxro was nothing but confusion, suXeihig, and discord. In tho same way will the Utah difficulty be adjusted, and Brigham Yourg and his Mormons taught obedience to tho laws cf the United States, and respect fur the federal authoii ty, bothof which they have repeatedly outraged and insulted, tiusting i:i their isolation and numetical strength. The destruction of the temporal power of the impostor?, who now usurp supreme authoii'.y in Utah, will, in all probahiiiiy. destroy tin theoretic power of tho sjcalled Prophet Young and his followers. and be much more effectual in putting h i end to the imposture than any attempt to "extirpate the Mormons as a community," or to suppress their odious religious practices by force, even were such violent interferences with leligious creeds, of whatever description, warranted by, instead of at variance with the constitution. When the people of that distant settlement ths majority of whom have been brought up under christian influences more orks3 positiv find that there is a power greater than that of the Mormon chief, and that his boasted supremacy is a hollow deceit, it is probable that many who now abidt hi the revolting practices cf Mormouism will see the error of their ways, and return to the paths of virtue which they have deserted. Notwithstanding Brigham's boast as to the number and efficiency of his army, we hare no fears that they will long resist the force of tho United States troops about to be dispatched to Utah. Wc scarcly believe that they will offer any reHsiancs at all; but whether they do or no, the arm of the government isVragenough to reach, and strong enongh to punish them, and restore the authority of the United SixJes. and respect and obedience to the laws. The whole country approves tho principles which cur respected Chiif Magistrats baa laid down, heartily applauds the zneacs he employs to carry. them bto effect," and is every day more and more impressed with tha gratifying conviction thai, fcs trill "in his duty, and maintain, the Corrituüj and the, laws."
