Another Tcrspikk. Some enterprising citizens residing between this place and New Paris, O., are obtaining subscription of stock for the purpose of making a turnpike road from this place to New Paris. It is proposed to start upon the hill above Kenworthy's mill, and follow the present road about four miles then bear to the north, and by as near a route as can be conveniently had, reach Paris on a line with Main street in that place. ( Something like six thousand dollars, we are ' informed, have been subscribed, and the pros-; pect of making the road is flattering. The j citizens of Richmond have considerable in-j terest in this work, as it will, at Paris, con- j nect with a turnpike leading to the edge of; Darke county, from which place our roechan- j ica and merchants have a large number of customers. We hope our citizens will take hold of this work, and see that the necessary amount of stock is subscribed. Most of the turnpikes in this county are paying handsome dividends, and the one now proposed will connect our place with a rich agricultural district of country, and the pleasant town of Sew Paris. The citizens of Richmond who would act for the benefit of the town promote its continued prosperity place it beyond competition, and advance their own individual interests, ought to take hold of this work at as early a day as possible. Put it through. Gov. Reeder. The regular Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, says, under date of May 15: Governor Reeder, after a short sojourn, has disappeared, like a mist, from the capital, without any one knowing either when, why, or how he left. It is said he lett with tfce en-, dorsementof the executive, so far as hi offi-1 cial action had been concerned, but without I any promise of the solicited aid to subject the j mischief-making Missourians to law and order. I He seriously proposed to the President to dis- j solve the Kansas Legislature, but.his propo-j sition was only the subject of merriment. It is said Mr. Cushing asked him if he had not j giren the members of the Legislature certifi-i eaten that "they were duly and legally elec-j ted." He answered he had. "Then," said , Mr. Curbing, "which are we to believe and , respect, your otnciai certificate ol a tact given tinder the sanction of an oath, or your declaration here that all law and order was violated and gross outrages perpetrated in the election of the Legislature?" "The Kanzas Howl." We ask attention to the following crazy article from the Charleston (S. C.) Mercury: The Kanzas Howl. Never, since the world began among the demands in Milton's "black abyss," or the damned in Dante's Inferno, las there been heard such a howl as is now sent up all over the North, by the dogn of fanaticism, upon their recent drubbing in Kanzas. The abolition journals pour out daily diatribes against the hardy Missourians, who drove away from their doors the horde of negro stealers that threatened to overwhelm them. Now really, the whole affair is decidedly "the best joke of the season." Uent upon ousting slavery from this fertile region by any and all means not willing that civilization should flow in its ua.ural course, and determine by natural laws its institutions, but hastening to fill it up with hireling fanatics, seize the polls and control the government, the abolitionists find themselves beaten routed at their own game their own emissaries made to vote the slavery ticket, while the triumphant Missourians march back to Independence with colors flying and bands of music, rejoicing that "Kansas is safe!" No wonder that they now howl and rend their garment), for fanaticism has for once met, its master and crouched. It is a signal and timely lesson. Had the south in its past contests exhibited but half the courage and promptness of Atchison and his true men, Abolition would have loner since become a harmless thing. It is also a timely lesson to the North, yet which will be scarcely heeded in its present fierce and aggressive mood, that there is a point at which the South will rise, and wipe out, with deeds worthy of her hope and destiny, the wrongs and shames of the past. We have not clipped the above for the purpose of remark. It is beneath that. The reader will recollect that the Charleston Mercury is no picayune paper, but the leading organ of the ultra South long the mouth-piece of John C. Calhocs. It speaks the sentiment xf mmmaj southern aristocrats. The editor s.iys there is apointat which the South will rise, and trip out, with deeds, Ac Well, Mr. Mercury, you will have a good time in the rising up; and the setting down which you may have to take may not be so pleasant. We insert the above to let the people of the North kuow what is said about them by southern fanatics nothing else. "It is a notorious fact that at the late Octo- j ber election in this State, Know Nothing bullies were imported from Louisville, Ky., into New Albany, whoshamefully beat and bruieed citizens of that place with brass knuckles, and prevented many legal roters from exercising the right of suffrage, and that by these infamous means a Know Nothing victory was obtained." Jefsrscmian. Lf.tK.-X ii.i.j1itis emr yuMonoux, it f will be an easy matter to produce some evidence of their truth. The mere fact that seme soc nix member of the legislature ex-! hibited a pair of "brass knuckles," and a'j'j they were used to prevent legal voter from j voting, is no evidence that such was the fact.' The member may himself have had them to . attack his political opponents. We have seen j no evidence of the "outrages" spoken of at i New Albany, by our neighbor, but on the f contrary the Judges of hat elec tie n have ' come out in cards and positively denied that ! voters were kept away from the polls by "imported bullies" or mob violence of any kind, and hence we attribute the charge to the excit-' ed brain of our soc nix friends, who, in the late ! election, endeavored to bide the cause of the I overwhelming defeat which befel them, by charging that foul means were resorted to. Our neighbor, in all his apologies for that defeat, reminds us of fellow who was knocked down by another lor bis insolence, who, when be got up, inquired if the "lightning had struck any body else." We shall treat the charge made by our neighbor as a base falsehood until we are furnished with good proof of iu truth. So trot out your proof Bro. Elder.

He was seized by the policeman, but not until be had drawn another, ' and made a second attempt to shoot. It is 1 said one ball grazed the Emperor's hat.

It punishes by fine and imprisonment all those who shall be instrumental in transmuting a freeman into a sla. whether by sending into slavery any mau who has always been free, or by returning one who has escaped either to a person other than a slave mnster from whom he escaped, or to any one to whom his "service or labor" is not "due;" and to enable the alledged slave who is injured by such unjust rendition, to recover damages therefor. It prohibits all Massaohusetts officials from acting at all for the return of alledged slaves. These provisions are to be enforced under the severest penalties. This law is far beyond any thing which has ever been enacted in the north, and will be regarded as fanatical by our southern neighbors. It will doubtless be denounced as treasonable hy tWm, tid as a great outrage upon the constitution. All must regret the necessity of such a law; but we advise all who are disposed to condemn it, to look at the course of the south in regard to citizens of free States. If a citizen of New York, who is a negro, should visit South Carolina on pleasure or business he would not be simply subjected to a fine or imprisonment, but he would be liable to bo sold into slavery. A white citizen of our own county, a few years ago was imprisoned in that State, under a false charge of circulating abolition documents. There has been no indignity too great to be heaped upon northern men, when in the Southern States, and such conduct has been sustained by the civil authorities of those States.

For more tha!i two hundred years this tree has perfumed the spring-house with iu white blossoms, and perhaps it has borne fruit nearly two hundred seasons. It was plaiued, if we rightly remember the date, in R53s?,by Governor Stuvvesant, at his farm so far out of the city of New York that wild , enthusiasm could not have dreamed then that even the city suburbs would ever reach so retired a dwvilirig place for Pomona, while that tree should live to bear fruit. But now look at that tree in its two hundreth year of bearing, and at its surroundings; east, west, north and south, instead of plowed fields, grass lots and orchards, and farm buildings, there is one ingever, but they have bloomed, borne fruit! good or evil and gone forever.

They listened, and could hear the sash raised a short distance, and let fall again, while some person appeared to be Irving to draw a.-iJe the window curtain. Terriblv frightened, one of them hastily dressed herself and ran to the house of the next neighbor, wakened him. and informed him that their house was beset by burglars. Hastily donning his apparel, the chivalrous neighbor seized his shot gun, and hurried to the defence of the fair. When he arrived at the bouse, no burglars were to be seen: but listenmg inientiy, he thought he neara taeir retreating footsteps. Determined to avenge bis fair neighbor, he started in hot pursuit, and soon came in sight of some object slowly moving down the road.
