The St. Louis Democrat says thai there is not the least doubt that the notorious, if not infamous David Atchison of Missouri,, who acted j ss the leader of the Missouri outlaws that wouU force slavery into Kansas 8gainst the wishes of her people, is a member of the Knotc-Xotking order, anil has accomplished the Kansas outrages through its instrumentality. It is also stated that several members of the order will soon furnish their certificates of Atchison's connection with them. Fort Wayne and Chiraio Eailroad. The Fort Wayne Sentinel of the 25th inst. says the tracklayers are now busily engaged laying the rails on this road. A large amount of iron is here, and more arriving almc3t every day.

A correspoudent of the Buffalo Republic, writing from Perry Village, gives an account of the capture of the monster snake seen in'the lake in that vicinity.

An old whaleman, named Daniel Smith. gathered around, some of whom pronounand two companions, having prepared J ced him in a fit, while others attributed themselves with harpoons, cordage, and (his malady to another cause. Amor.g

all the necessary articles, watched for his ! saakeship for eight days without success. The correspondent says: T!ve lake has several outlets, th largest of which runs through this village and finally empties into or becomes tho Genesire river. In the vicinity of this outlet be was seen first and en Sunday he came to the surface, displaying about thirty feet of his Iongsinuou3 body, remaining j however, but a few moments. The boals were on tho watch all Sunday night. The whalemen had 1200 feet of strong whale line in their boat, the end of which ran nshore and was fastened to a tree. On Monday morning everything was on the alert. The shores were lined with town people and strangers, and everybody seemed very much excited. About 9 o'clock the animil made his appearance between th whalemen's boat and the shore, rereeling twenty or thirty feet of his length. Mr. Sith of Covington, poising a L.lly iron in the air, (a Lilly iron is a patent harpoon, a heavy cutting knife being attached by the middle to the end of the iron by a rivit. As soon as the knife enters the body of on animal, this moveable bh Jo turns at right augles to the wound, and being ent4rely blunt and flat on ne side, it is impossible to extricate it except by cutling out.) When they had got about tea feet from the animal, the iron whistled through the air and -rent deep into his body. In a moment tit? whole length of the animal was lashing the cir, at a bound revealing his wihtfle uormoui length, and then making the water boil in every direction, he deeeribel rapids foaming circles and ares of j circles with such swiftness that the eye ould scarcely follow him. Then he dartedofTia another direction toward the upper part of the lake, the sud-denness of hia movement almost dragging the boat um&zi water. : Line waa gradually given hi;n, and aQer the space of half an hour, it was plain his strength was almost exhjuMee!. The whalemen then came, on shcre and gradually hauled the line in. The body; was within fifty feet of tfiel shoce,-vtheii 'near life appeared to h&ye) Deen gtven mm, ana wun one aan uecar-

lied all the line out. This was his" last great effort. r He was slowly dregged ashore amid the wildest excitement und tumult ever known in the vicinity of Silver Lake. Four or five ladies fainted upon feeing the monster, who, although on shore, was lashing his body into tretnen clous folds, and then straigtbening himself out in his agony, with a noise and power that made the very earth tremble around him. The harpoon hud gone entirely through the muscular port of hint, about eight fret from his head. The snake, or animal, is fifty-nine feet fite inches in length, aud is a most disgusting looking creature. A thick slime cov rs his hideous length, a quarter of an inch thick, which, after being removed, i almost instantly replaced by exudation. The body. of this creatuae variable in size. The head is about the size of a full grown call's. Within eight feet oT the head, the neck gradually swells up to the thickness of a foot in diameter, which continues for fifteen inches, and then tapers down the other way, constantly increasing in size, however, as it recedes from the head, until the body of the monster has a diameter of tico feet in the centre, giving a girth of over six feet. It then tapers off towards the tail, which ends in a fin which can be expanded in the shape of a fan until it is three feet across, or closed in a sheath. Along the belly, from the head to the tail, are double rows of fins, a foot in length not op-

posite to etch other, but alternately ,phc ed. The head is a most singular affair. The eyea are very larg, white, strin g and j terrific.

Business at a stand. -St. Louis Dem. YcjL'TIIFLL PniLAMIIUOrV AND ITS Rkwaki3. About four weeks ago an elderly and respectable dressed gentleman was observed lying on the sidewalk on Fourth street, neaily opposite th office . of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. A crowd ihem was a little girl about 12 years of i .u.. t i: l .1.. :r..i i.: age, wuu hute.iug uuwu, geiuiy imcu ins head upon her lap, while she wiped away the clammy perspiration from his fore head with her shawl. In a short time the object of her solicitude revived sufficiently to ask for water, and it being administered, he asked for a coach, which, being brought up, he was lifted into it. when he motioned for the little girl to accompany him. It wis a case of paralysis; he is a retired merchant from New Orleans, but lately arrived in this city. His residence is on Fourth, near Park st. The little girl who acted the part of the good Samaritan in her sympathy with and administering to the afflicted, is the daughter of a poor widow woman named Perkins,who resides near the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Depot, nnd every morning during tu3 sickness she might be seen at tho residence of the ofHicted gentleman, timidly inquiring after his healthThe most grateful pluse of the incident is that the invalid, who is so far recovered that he can ride out, drove on Monday to the residence of the mother of the child, nnd, presenting her with a check for $200. hung a handsome gold chain around the neck of his little ministering angel, to which was suspended a plain but costly gold watch, upon the case of which was the following inscription; "Presented to Mary Coidelia Perkins by her friend Wm. Brechers." Cincinnati Enquirer. The )!ciican Revolution. The New Orleans papers, some of which manifest the deepest interest in i the success of the revolution, expresses the utmost confidence in the speedy overthrow of Santa Anna. While the move ment of Alvarez and Comorfort in the South is purely a Mexican one, aiming solely at Mexican independence, the movement on thoNorthern frontier seems to have wme connection with the annex ation idea. This would account for the greater interest manifested by ouri'New Orleans colemporaries in the struggle in the North than in the. struggle going on me couin.

Since the terrific riot3 at Louisville, there has been a rapid emigration of the foreign-born population to a more liber al and lets dangerous locality. The Democrat of that city, of the 22d inst., says that, on tire day previous, a party of 18 Germans tailors, shoemakers, carpenters, cigar makers and laborers left for Minnesota. The next day four families were to leave one to stop in Chicago, and the other three lo go on to Canada. A movement is on foot to organize a Kansas emigration party of five hundred families. The heads of a hundred families signed the bgrecment on the first night of tho meeting. Our cotemporary says that these families are among the best citizens of Louisville. A Heartless Rcute. The body of a little girl was picked up at the Arsenal Wharf, Philadelphia. It seems that she had been unmercifully beaten by her father for breaking a saucer, and afterwards turned Out of the house. This poor child was found drowned in the Schuylkill. The parents, the report says, made no ef. lort to discover her whiln missing, and when her death was ascertained, the other children were ordered to go about their work as usual, and the body was not even brought home. It is also stnted lhat for years this same brute has made his children go barefoot in the coldest .weather, although he is the owner of several housiest and could well afford to mako his fam uy comioriaDte.

That gentleman rephed, whh emphatic precision, that&hoild cither a partial rising of a serious chiracter happen in Europe, or a war occur between some of the European Governmenti, in which it appered likely that jhjstria might become implicated, and especially if it should be a war affecting the Oiiental question, the. Government of the United States, fully awar9 of ihe precarious condition of ihe European continent, would take such an emergency for a sure judication that it might be attended bv I new effort on the par: of ihe oppressed lations, and chiefly of Hungary, Italy, anl Poland; and that, in view of such emergency, no time should ; be lost in appointing x diplomatic agent, and in sending him to Europe, so he might be near at hanl, and would be in vested with the nt'ccejary power to enter into open diplomatia relations wilh any de facto Government j which, upon ihe basislif national independence, should, so exercising a real authority, become an actual Government. ' Abolition Treason sd Blasphemy. We find the following paragraph in a late number of the Ytrmont Freeman, a prominent abolition paper, 'Whereever slavery is found we claim the right to assail it, and whoever comes between us and slavery to defend it, whether President Titrce with his constulion, or President Lord with his Bible finds no quarter. Out motto is, humanity and its rights, above all books and constitutions." Comment is unnecessary. The Veiled 7urdercss. The intelligence of the commutation of the sentence was 'communicated to Mrs. Robinson on Satirday. She became greatly excited and rayed again; the governor, sheriff, judges, lud all concerned. She said lhat the governor had been imposed upon; that he was a fool for listening to the marvelous tales nd stories of those pretending to be he friends; that she thought it was just ei disgraceful to be sent to prison as it wis to be executed on the gallows! It may e proper to state that she hat been longiig for execution ever since her sentence, and has stated on mjuy occasions thai she would be hung anyhow! j She was making prepfrations for leaving the jail all morniik. On going to her cell at noonjwith iFr dinner, it was discovered that she hadjnearly every ar ticle of furniture (that ould be) broken up, and piled near the cotter of the toom.

All the straw and husks were taken from the beds and thrown on the top. Her leather truuks were torn to pieces; her clothes press broken; and a roaring fire had been started in the stove with some of the broken furniture! On being questioned why she thus acted, she said it was none of their business; that she knew she was not going to leave anything belonging to her after her, &c. It is supposed her intentions were to set fire, to the jail, by which means she undoubtedly intended to destroy herself. As soon as this discovery was made, the sheriff had her cell cleared of every

article mat could te consumed, ana a watch was put on her operations. Liter from California. New York. Aug. 25. The mil steamer Georgo Law arrived this A.

He commenced sawing off the chain from his leg nnd set fire to his cell, in order to knock the jailor down and escape, when the alarm was raised.
