(g(7"Governor Wise-, of Virginia, opposes the last doge of the Lecomptonites. f Governor Packer, of Pennsylvania, regards it as even more atrocious than the Senate bill. Governor Walker rather likes it, because he knows the people will vote it it down, anil he talks of stumping Kansas in opposition t& it.

A PROPOSITON.

We understand that Jarhes E. Ballard, (Anti-Lecompton Democrat,) has challenged David Snyder, Democrat,) to run a race next fall on the Lecompton Course, for a seat in the lower branch of the State Legislature 1 . We should like to see such a race; it would be lively and interesting; but we fear the challenge will not be accepted.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

Last Sunday evening our quiet village was thrown into considerable excitement by the announcement that an assassination had been attempted, and very nearly effected, in Barkley township on the previous evening. The facts, as near as jwe can gather-them, a/o these. Philip Handy, an inoffensive, quiet citizen, about forty-five or fifty years of age, who lives about eight miles north-east vfti liis place, left the house of Mr. Burns, a neighbor, about twilight, and started for home, some half a mile distapt. The next morning the wife of Handy went over to Burns’ and inquired for him, saying he had not been home since the previous evenin". The neighbors immediately turned out and instituted a search for him, and found him lying beside a log, speechless and nearly ddadi He retained his senses, however, and pointed to the back of his neck as the spot which pained him. He was carried to his home, a mustard plaster immediately applied, and a runner sent to this place for Djr.

Alter. When Dr. Alter arrived there, after dark Sunday night, Mr. Handy was still speechless, but i before Monday morning he was able to whisper so that persons could hear by putting their ears close to his mouth.

After being carried home, Mr Handy motioned with his fingers for writing materials j and when supplied, wrote, in an almost unintelligible hand, though usually a good scribe, that while he was going home on SaturdayTiight, he was attacked from behind by the olid man Lakins and his two sons, one of whom gave him a severe blow on the back of the neck with some heavy instrument,which felled him to the earth. He was 1 then dragged into the brush near at hand. Mr. Handy never lost the use of his intellect, although he was almost physically paralyzed; so he, with great effort, dragged himself to some distance from the spot where he was .left by tht assassins, for fear they would come back and finish their job,, and laid down beside the log where he was found the next day. Lakins and lfis two sons were arrested and taken before ’Squires Parkison and Hopkins; but, in consequence of the illness of Mr. Handy, the preliminary examination was postponed for two weeks. The prisoners were required to give bail in S7OO each, which has not yet been given. Great excitement prevails in Barkley township.

MYSTERY - PROBABLE MURDER.

We received tHe following letter from Dr. Salter too late lbr publication last Wednesday:' “Fhancisville; May 5, 1858. “Mr. D. F. Davies: “Dear Sir —The body of an unknown female was found; yesterday, about one mile from this town, near what is called the ‘Hickory Grove;’ oh the east side of the Monon creek, and, from ihe decomposed condition of the body, must have been dead for several months. It is supposed to been that of a woman from thirty-five to forty years of age, of medium size, and of rather delicate „make. There were some .goldplated artificial teeth found loose in the mouth.

“What makes this case mysterious is, that no such person has ever been missed from this section of country. The verdict of ihe Coroner’s Jury was that she came to her death from some) cause unknown. “Respectfully, W. H. Salter.”

We have conversed with several gentlemen-, from Fraricisville and vicinity, and learned from them that the universal impression there that the woman was murdered*, and had lain in a slough under the ice for* several months. She had the appearance of having.received a wound in the left breast, which was slightly bruised and stained with blood, but the body was too far gjone into a decomposed state to ascertain whether it was a wound or not. We received the following froim F. T. Drake,Esq., acting Coroner:

CORONER’? INQUEST. FOUND, on the] fourth day of May, 1858, in Pulaski county, Indiana, the body of a woman supposed to lies;about the middle age, about live feet high, complexion unknown; had marks or scars, but could not determine that they had been inflicted by violent hands; had on no clothes save an old velvet vraist, with satin gleeVes, a white undershirt, blue stockings, old shoes, and light-colored cotton gloves, a set of artificial teeth, seven in number, and earrings in her ears; no other property about the body. The name of the rers-on and cause of death unknown. Supposed to have been dead about three months. Verdict of the Jury in accordance witli the above. F. T„.DRAKE, Esq., Coroner for the time bping. Papers please cbpy for the interest of the friends. It would appear, from the earrings, artificial teeth, remnants of dress, &c., that she was a woman in easy circumstances.

THE HOUSE.

The secret of successful breeding consists in a knowledge oif the result sought and the means by which it is to be obtained. Hence, the first question which the horse-grower has to settle, before he can proceed to his object with any hope of a favorable termination, is, what kind of horses does the age demand, and how can that particular race be propagated and maintained? It is in regard to the first partpjf this inquiry that we propose to offer a hints American hordes are of two classes, the work-horse and the roadster: a distinction sufficiently clear to preclude the idea that it is a forced or an arbitrary one. These classes, moreover, are susceptible of a subdivision, the one into the dray-horse and the general work-horse; the other into the roadster proper and the trotting or race-horse — which ladder division, however, is less important, since the characteristics upon which it depends are less marked. Still, the drayhorse and racer note the extremes of the former. The qualities which constitute the excellencies of the dray-horse are, bulk of body combined with strength. He must be so, heavy as not to be swayed by his ponderous load, and sufficiently strong to carrry it forward over every obstacle. Yet he has less absolute power, in proportion to his size, than either of the others: his strength lies in the immense carcass which he throws into the collar, arid, as among men, a large body and a small head often steal the honors which belong to a large head and a small hody; so inertia does for him what tho active exertion of sinews <ftes for the others. He is negatively strong, not positively powerful. We, therefore, find that the most valuable animals of this kind are large, course, overgrown beasts, loosely jointed, with long backs, thick necks and heavy heads, and are often found weighing frgot

eighteen hundred to two thousand pounds. Their shoulders are set on in a linefislightly inclining from a perpendicular, whereby they exert an enormous force on the collar without any great outlay of strength. They are, consequently, very slow in their movements, and the distance from the hip to the gambrel-joint is, in proportion, uncommonly short. In fine, while the dray-horse has few of the points of a good animal, he is eminently qualified to perform the duties required of him, and is one of the most servicable of what are termed the royal brutes. As we descend to the general work-horse, the qualities gradually change; there is less hulk, but more speed and strength. He is shorter in the back, has a thinner neck and a lighter head; his shoulders form greater angles with the perpendicular; the distance from the hip to the gambrel-joiijt increases; he is smaller boned, is more compactly and firmjy made, and has less flesh and more muscle; his movements are easier-and quicker, and at the plow or on the road is able and willing to do whatever is asked of him. He is positively strong, and when his s'rength is united with his bulk of body, he is negatively powerful. In the second class, we come to the true horse—the noblest animal given to man—who is at once man’s slave and companion; who is dependent on the hand of his master for liis daily food, and by his services rendered him indebted for many of the pleasures and comforts of life; who shares his confidence and his affections; who “paweth in the valley and rejoiceth in his strength;” who “mocketh at fear and is not affrighted;” who “swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage:” who “saitli, ha! ha! among the trumpets, and smelleth the battle afar off;” “whose neck is clothed with thunder” and “the glory of whose nostrils is terrible.” Four great qualifications are necessary tp constitute the roadster, speed, endurance, action and beauty; but the greatest of them all is speed. The age we live in ijs an age of intensity, wherein thereof feed upon steam and run “air the cradle to the grave. It is not stfange, then, that the horse is made to partake of this spirit, and that his powers for fleetness are cult'vated to a very great extent. beast which the farmer, the lawyer, the merchant, the manufacturer, the minister, the printer, the cobbler, the blacksmith, the butcher, the baker and the candle-stijck maker and whatnot drive, must be fast or he is good for nothing. An animal m»y have none of the other qualifications, hut strong in this he meets with a ready Sale. The roadster, however, must not only be swift for one mile, hut for many miles; for one hour and many hours; for days and weeks; his powers of endurance must rather increase than diminish by exertion, and he must press ips hard on the hit, and respond as quickly to the wishes of his driver, at.the close of the day as at its commencement. He must combine speed with bottom, or he car.not be truly termed las). Moreover, the roadster must have action. A man, if there is any manhood in him, is proud of his horse, and herein the horse sympathizes with him, and is proud of the man. By the grace with which he handles himself, he testifies as much and exhibits the fair proportions of his built. The arching neck, the lofty steps, the flashing eye, the flaming nostril and the haughty tossing of the head all bespeak courage and energy, and tell us that within the brain of the horse is a power which, although less noble and god-like, is yet as mysterious and fascinating as the more gifted and immortal spirit of man. If the roadster has these three qualities in harmony,lie, cannot fail of having the last one, na.mely,beauty. Now, the horseman, if he wishes to obtain an animal which will do good road service, must shake off, as wholly erroneous, the idea—which 6eems: to be as generally received, and as hard to he got rid of, among farmers, as cholera among foreigners—that the roadster must he a large beast. Any person well ; read in English history or acquainted with ! the performances of the turf, will tell you that every attempt to endow a large horse with speed, endurance, action and beauty, in any eminent dree, has always proved a failure. The great object is, and it should be written in letters of gold over the horsegrower’s stable, to get as much horse as possible into a smalt compass. We are no advocate lor ponies—we go neither to the one extreme nor to the other; but we say, that no horse, except one of a medium size, is fit for the road. The greatest Toad horses the world has ever seen, the Morgan, are notoriously small; and herein lies one of their excellencies. They scarcely ever exceed fifteen and a half hands in bight, or weigh more than eleven hundred pounds. Our favorite of this breed, the “Sherman Blackhawk,” unquestionably the best Morgan horse now living, is not a large horse, ns we use the term. He stands fifteen and a half hands/-high, and weighs ten hundred and eighty pounds. There is, however, no waste of material about him. Hie was put together for speed and actiofi, and was made to last. His body is most acuralely poised, and filled and rounded wjth cords and sinews; and what is the best-of it, he knows how to use them. We remember the last time we saw him trot. It was before a heavy buggy; and he carried himself with such grace und elegance, end moved with so much elasticity and smoothness, that his i

limb 3 seemed as if worked by the most delicate machinery. There was no false motion in his gait—every step told; and so great is his m&scular power, it seemed like a blow from the arm of Achilles. We offer him as the best type of this class, with which we are Acquainted.

The points of the roadster are easily told: He is very short in the back, very long from the hips to the gambrel, has a thin, muscular neck, tapering toward the head, head light and short, ears small, nostrils large, chest deep and thick, hips wide and round, inclining from the perpendicular, and his whole structure compactly and firmly put. together. As every particle of his body is called into a ©five exertion, he is what we term positively powerful. A few words must suffice for the racer. He does not differ materially from the roadster, except that some of his qualities are developed to the exclusion of others. He has very great speed, and comparatively large powers i-es endurance. He has very little action and less beauty- His shoulders make the largest angles with the perpendicular; hips slanting, legs set well underneath, with hind and fore leg inclining toward each other; neck long and slim, head fine, nostrils large; chest deep, &c. The turf has done and is doing much for the improvement of the horse It is mainly through its aid that we have already attained to so great a degree of perfection. We shall most assuredly hail the day when the turf is wholly taken from the hands of unprincipled men and elevated into'general respectablenelp. In a future article we may offer a few hints on the second inquiry.

Douglas in the South.

The New Orleans Delta has the following spicy comment’upon position of its quondam frtOnd and demi-god Douglas: “What are Andrew Jackson and his specialities of policy, Henry Clay and 1 is expedients for .tht“'hour —or, passing to the yet living, what with his Kansas hobby of 1854, from which lie has unhorsed himself] Jackson and ('lay lie in honored graves; they were men for the hour, who bravely did the' work of the hour. But as regards the needs that now exist, the circumstances in which the country is now placed, the fossils of nameless monsters entombed in the gratifications of theSiuriari period have nearly as much relevancy as they. As'for Douglas, he worked well fora time; hut lie lived fast; too early for his fame and his future, accomplished his best uses; blind with ambition and revenge, mistook his occupation, and went to carving images for a strahge idolatry; and so he has had his day. He was not penetrated with the philosophy of his own politics; he failed to and conscient iouslv recognize the full scope ol his own• principles. He could not isftderstand the mysterious but •most true relation that exists between Proslavery, in its widest and most generous sense, and Democracy, with its most vital wants and highest aspirations. He coujd not see, or has Refused to acknowledge, that negro slavery oh, this continent is the most conservative element of liberty, and most unyielding foundation on which democratic institutions—that is to say, institutions recognizing, unjyerstilly, the equal political rights and privileges of white men—can be established artfl defended. And he shot madly from hisVsrbit, on’the Lecompton tangent, and wanders blind and rayless in the immensity of room which he "finds on the road he has taken to political obscurity.” The New Qifea is Courier, an organ of Southern Deihocricy, publishes the last speech of Senafor Douglas, on the Lecompton question, accompanying it wft.li some comments, from which we take the following extract:

“Less than two years ago, the cohorts of the great Demagrocy moped obedient to the call of Mr. Doyglas. Hu was the acknowledged champion, the undisputed and undisputa ble leader :of the greatest, the most united, and tbeipost invincible party ol free citizens the world ever saw. For fifteen years he had adhered to the doctrines of that party, through and ill-report; for ten he had been distinguished in its ranks; for two he had been at its Jiead7~ He was the victorious Achilles in.the great b; ttle of the Senate, : n 1854, oft"the Kansas bill, and every Democrat from Maine to Florida, from California to Virginia, East, West, North and South, recognized him faithful exponent, as the man he delighted to honor.

“At the convention of 1856, his beautiful Bresise, was ravished from him. Another than him was named by the great Democracy as their candidate lor the immense and glorious office s>f the President of these United States. A crowd of Lfiiputians pressed him to the ground and pierced his skin with their little arrows. His wrath has been grand, like the wrath of 'Achilles. It has spread the Phrygian plain ot Washington with the bones of a multitude of little men, untimely s|»in. That wonderful small potatoe,' Bigler, at a single blow; Green barely survived by the solid vote bet hind him; our little lawyer, Benjamin, steered very clear of his blows; our ndroiand sensible Slidell either did ur did not briefly deliver the Administration programme late at flight, or early in the morning, of one of those disgraceful night sessions which som£);iincs deface the dignity of the Senate, while Douglas was sick in bbd; yet_vyhen the great fallen one came again to take his place, tie demolished without an effort all these lfis adversaries, and triumphing as far us persona l strength was available, kicked then),-carelessly aside,-’as a man would kick a clfii} out of his path.”

I Tell the Gjf.sti.ema* Distinctly it is Not. —ln the Itpuse debate on the English substitu e, Mr. Gilman, of Maine, asked Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, this questiou: ‘-Is the constitution (Lefeonipton) submitted by this bill!” Mr. Stephens answered thus: ‘ I tell the gentleman distinctly it is not!"

GOV. WALKER ON LECOMPTON.

The Lecompton press has been in high glee over the announcement that Governor Walker approved of English’s Compromise. He did desire the passage of it—not that he indorsed the swindle, hut felt confident that the people of Kansas would utterly repudiate it. Here is his letter:

—— Washington City, April 27, 1358. Dear Sirs: Your letter ot this date has just been received, and I hasten to say, that, in m y judgment, the conference Kansas bill should be adopted. I expressed this opini m on first reading the hill on Saturday last, and mu>t adhere to it, allhough, if the bill had been, as falsely represented, a submission of the ordinance only, I should have sternly opposed it. Tiffs bill, as interpreted by me, is in precise conformity with my views and course not only in Kansas, but since my return, and in following the path where duty and conscience bade me, I must support it. I must be permitted, however, to do this in such a wav as will cast no censure on valued friends, who honestly .Oppose this bill, because their construction of it differs from mjq own. Whilst this bill maintained my views as to popular sovereignty, it would, if adopted, save the Union from imminent peril. If the bill passes, the odjous Lecompton constitution, born in fraud, and baptized in forgery and perjury. will be defeated by an overwhelming vote of the people of Kansas, thus demonstrating by practical results, the truth ol my interpretation, that this bill does in fact submit the#constitution to the popular suffrage, for ratification or rejection, which is all I have ever required. With such a bill, and such a decision of that people, under it, no formidable effort will ever be again made to withhold from the people of inchoate-States a vote 'or or agonist the ratification or rejection of their State constitution, and the oligurchive doctrine of conventional sovereignty will be abandoned. I write in great haste* and will, at a future period, embody my views in full in a letter for publication, as expressed in our recent conversation. Yours truly, R. J. Walker. Hon. S. S. Cox and Hon. Win. Lawrence.

PLAIN TALK.

H on. Lewis Wallac§, of Crawfordsville, who has heretofore been a sort of milk-and-water Anti-Lecompton Democrat, now blowing hot, and now blowing cold, seems to .have repented of his vasciHating course, and writes the following inanly letter to the Crawfordville Review: “Mr. Bowen: In your paper last week you suggested me as a proper person lo make the ensuing race for Congress on the Democratic side. The article has been received thlfcughout the county as a regular announcement of my candidacy before the Convention, and has subjected in* to interrogatories not always pleasant or timely. Let me say to the public that lam not -seeking the nomination, and have no intention of being a candidate in any event.

“To end further questions in connection with the subject, let me also say that I am now opposed to Lecompton, as I have been from thebeginning; and that, while I thought Lecompton seriously objectionable, as a departure from Democratic principles, I am of opinion that English's Compromise, at .present the law of the land, is a swindle without apology, an outrage upon the people of Kansas, an insult to tin- Whole North, and,a deliberate violation of equality as between States and sections. More titan that, sir, as a Northern man of Free-State sentiment, and possessed of ordinary feeling and pride, I resent that act as amounting to the open and formal degradation by Congress of myselTand every other Northern citizen. It provides in sheet that, if Kansas, with a present population of 40,000, will accept the Lecompton (slave) Constitution, she shall have millions of acres of land and be at once, by proclamation, admitted a State of the Union; but, if she reject Lecompton, she will not have any land, and shall not make another Constitution nor be admitted as a State until she has 9.>,000 inhabitants. 11l oilier words, it establishes the principle, hitherto unheard, that 40,000 inhabitants are enough to make a slave State;

whereas to make a free State 93,000 are not onlv held necessary, but absolutely requiVed; und to guard against the possibility of mistake or iinpoMtion us to the 93,000, a census must be taken and certified up to Congress prior to the admission. I deny that in point,ot political rights one Southern man is superior to tvvo Northern men. I deny his superiority in that respect to anyone of them. Yet the English bill establishes that, in Congressional eyes, two Northern men, like Mr. English, lack a fraction of being equal politically to one Mr. Stephens, of/Georgia. The-three-fifths rule, dor purposes ol representation, is perfectly satisfactory as against Mr. Toombs’ slaves; but a one-half rule, for purposes of admission into the Union, as against the freemen of the North, is an inequality and wrong too infamous to be subscribed, too unjust to be endured. I am opposed to any kind of interference by Congress; if she must interfere, however, let it not he in the questionable shape of a bribe on one hand and a penalty on the other. “The above are not all my objections to English’s bill; nevertheless, I hope they will prove sufficient for ‘inquiring friends.’ “Respectfully, Lewis Wallace. “Crawfordville, May 6,1]858.”

Houston’s Compliment to the Senate.

On a recent occasion, General Houston, in the Senate, thus characterized the conduct of his associates in tiiat body: Mr. Houston—l am not going to make a speech, but I wish lo make a remark. Mr. Seward—Very well. Mr. Houston—l have sat here, Mr. President, for nearly twelve years, and I must confess that I have never met in this chamber a single day that I have not been intensely mortified that I was a member of this body, in some respects. I well remember there was a time when this body was the most decorous, dignified and respectable body that my eyes ever looked upon. The material here is good enough, hut there is a total disregard oi everything like order and respect to fellow-members when they are addressing the body. It is not alone that disorder exists in the galleries, but it exists on the floor of the Senate! The rules of the body are such ns to enable the officers of it to enforce authority, and to maintain order and profound silence. Mr. Mason —I must call the Senator to order.

“Tempest in a Teapot.”

F. J. Grand, the YVashington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says that Kansas never was “more, than a tempest in a teapot, and is even now dying out in Congress}” To which the Ohio Statesman the central Democratic organ of Ohio, repiit-s as follows: “For this tempest in a teapot some of the best Democrats in the country have bee.u turned out of office—for it, felons have heeii retained in office in Kansas—for it, the ablest and most profound statesmen of the Democratic party, North and South, have been reviled by purchased binelings as traitors and n negades—for it, the President has personally solicited the votes' of his friends, and they have been compelled, by a sense of imperative duty, to withhold them—but now, having been baffled and beaten in every attempt ‘to ignore the cardinal principle” of Democracy free governments, these'mercenary scribblers and squallid camp followers tell iis that this-.has been done to quiet ‘a tempest in & teapot’.’ ”
