DIVIDING THE HoNORs.-Senator Atchison
of Missouri, President of the Senate, and in
case of the death of Mr.. Pierce, President of
the United States, has been, making speech
at the ''ci.y of Atchinson," a town laid off in
Kansas territory, on the Missouri River q
few miles above Weston. in which he claim
ed the paternity of the Nebraska bill.
He said he demanded of Douglas as chair
man of the Committee on Territories the in
PRODUCTION of the bill--he hesitated--ask for
twenty four hours delay-and then he con-
scented to introduce it. The Parksvile Sum-
mary which gives report of the speech
says:
Gen. Atchison next spoke of those who
had opposed the bill i'm the Senate, and re-
marked that Northen Democrats came up
nobly to the work, but that Northern Wings
had proved recreant to the cause of Justice
and right. Southern men, he said acted as
they should have done, with, he was sorry to
say two exceptions. A voice in the crowd
here called out, Bell and Houston!l Yes
he said, these were the men, one Wing and
one Democrat-both aspirants for the Pres
idency- but, poor miserable devils they had
made false step, and he might say now he
(Atchison) had farer chance for that high
honor than either of them.
Senator Atchison next alluded to the
slavery question as it is now being agitated
in our community, and closed by expressing
his profound contempt Tor abolitionists and
their Vaccinations, and said that if he had
his way he would hang every one that dared
show his face here.

The KANs AS SEAL.-The Easton, Pa, Ar
gus-the home of Gov. Reeder-gives de-
scription of the seal of the territory of Kan
sas, engraved by Robt. Lovett of Philadel-
phia, according to the design of the Govern
or. 1t consists of shield with two supper
tiers, and surmounted by a scroll motto, and
is emblematic of the life of the pioneer and
the agriculturist. The lower compartment
of the SHIELD contains the Buffalo and the
hunter-the upper contains the implement
of agriculture. The left hand supporter
is pioneer with smock frock, leggins, RI
file and tomahawk; whilst on the right is the
Goddess Ceres with her sheaf, and at their
feet, and between them lies fallen tree and
axe. The motto is beautiful and striking
allusion to the principle on which the terri.
tory was organized, and consists of the "PoP.
ULI vocE NATE" translated-Born Of the pop
ular lciH.
This is certainly very tastfully arranged
design, though it would be more complete j
added to it was the representation of a"nig
ger in the fence.''

MURDER CAsE.-Mrs. Green, wife Of Geo.
w. Green, a very wealthy citizen of Chica-
60, died recently under suspicious circum.
Stances. The body was afterwards exhum-
ed and the contents Of the stomach examin-
ed by practical chemist, who detected
strychnine among them. As Mr.. Green
is known to have lived unhappily with his
wife and other circumstances being decided
" against him, he has been sent to prison to
await his trial as the murderer Of his wife,
The case causes much excitement in Chica
90, and is said to present many features sim
liar to the celebrated Webster case.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM "JoHN BULL
Dr.. John Bull was the first Gresham profess
sor Of music, and organist and composer, to
Queen Elizabeth. John, like true English
man, travelled for improvement, and having
heard Of a famous musician at St. Omer,
placed himself under him as a novice. But
a circumstance very soon convinced the
master that he was inferior to the scholar
The musician showed John a song which he
composed in forty parts, telling him at the
same time that be defed all the world te pro-
duce person capable of adding another
part to his composition. Bull desired to be
left alone, and TO be INDUCED for a short time
with pen and ink. In less than three hours
he added forty parts more to the song, upon
which the Frenchman was so surprised, that
he swore he must either be the Devil OF
John Bull, which has ever since been prov err.
bal in England.

THE SPIRITUAL SINGLE MACH NE.-The
Palmer, Mass, Journal describes the opera
ton of the shinele irving machine said to
have been invented by the spirits, and con.
structed by Mr.. A. e. Billins,of Palmer. II
is neatly finished, strongly built machine
and it walks into the blocks, which are fed
in from two iron sides like huge giant. II
does the work admirably, splitting the blocks
into pieces of any thickness desired for sha-
wing. 1t is said to be capable of irving 35,-
900 shingles per day.

CRors, PROSPECTS, &c.-We collate the


following extracts from our exchanges, for
the purpose Of convincing some people, that
there is no danger of famine this year, and
to prevent the spectators and sharks from
preying too much on the necessaries of life.
The corn crop in some places has been cut
short, while it is abundant in places where
they have never been able to raise it to any
great extent before it, vide, Wisconsin, north
ern Iowa, 60. From the great supplies Of
wheat in Canada, California and the States
amounting to some 80, 100000 bushels, and
the abundant crops in Europe, it is clear that
Breadstufs will materially come DOWN
Wheat and Flour in our opinion, are bound
to rule at lower rates before the first of Jan.
uary next.
CROPS IN EURoPE.-The wheat crop in
Great Britain is very abundant, the mos,
productive per acre that has ever been pro-
duced in the United Kingdom. From all the
grain growing regions of the Old World
the same fattering accounts are received.
The corn crops in Iowa are said &c
be We very large, and will not fall short Of
last years. Pork packing, it is thought, will
be carried out to a considerable extent the
coming season.
The Fond de Lac Union states that the
corn crop of Wisconsin will be heavier this
year than ever before. This State will be
enabled to supply the deficiency, in mea
sure, of the Mississippi Valley.
We learn from a planter that the rice
crops of North Carolina, this season is fully
equal if not superior to the best former aver
age crop of former years. The yield il
abundant, and but little damage has beer
done by freshets or birds.
A letter from Columbus Miss, says: W.
have never had better crop of corn on tn,
Prairie lands, or Tombigbee fats. Still
owing to the poor crops in other sections
the price is high.
The San Francisco papers say that III,
importation of wheat to the Atlantic State
| is seriously contemplated. 1t certainl,
would pay as flour is now but seven dollar
per barrel at San Francisco.
Texas produces the presentyear one hund
red per cent more wheat than ever before
The corn cropin the South and west of tn
State, is the largest ever raised.

Know Nothing Nominations in New
York.

The Know Nothings of New York have
concluded their nominations. Horatio Seq
man, of Buffalo, was first nominated for
Lieutenant Gov ernor, but declined, when
A. s. Scraggs, of Buffalo, was substituted.
The whole number of votes cast was 345, al
though there were 953 members present on
the previous day. j. b. Williams, of Ith ca,
was nominated Canal Commissioner, and J.
p. Sanders, of West Chester, Prison Inspec-
tor. Some say these nominations will defeat
the Wings, while others are equally certain
that this will defeat the Democrats. 1t is
said that during the session of the Council
the delegates were called upon to state the
number of members enrolled in their re.
spective bodies. The figures obtained show.
ed total of little less than sixty-six thou.

SO that there is no assurance that the
strength of the body is over sixty thousand

~ 1t is stated by member Of foreign
legislation, that Mr.. Soule "received his pas
port" before leaving Madrid, and that his
mission is clearly terminated. The intelli-
gence seems not to have been officially re-
ceived here. If correct, it cannot fail to lead
to the most important results, since it will
assuredly be made the pretext for hostile
movements against Cuba.

ABUNDANCE OF Wharf.-The Richmon

ABUNDANCE OF WHEAr.-The Richmond
(va) Penny Post speaks Of the immense
amount of wheat now in the various rail-
road depots of that city. One Of them is
literally grooming under the weight of its
contents, and the writer thinks he "saw
enough to feed the Russian and allied troops
for a twelvemonth." There are eight large
mills in operation in that city, ant. two OF
of them grind at least nine hundred barrels
each per day. 1t is mostly shipped, howev-
err, for the South American markets, where
it is favorite over all others. The climate
does not sour it, and the secret is said to con-
sist in packing it while hot.

A dispatch received from Knox last eve
ming, gives Hall $40 majority. This is a
large gain, as Miller was only beaten 81
votes before. Knox is always right, but she
she is better than usual this time.
GIBSON CO.
PRIYcEToN:-Hall, l59 mai,
WAsHlSGroS:--Miller 6 majority, being q
loss of % since 80.
Returns from Gibson county, the home Of
the two congressional candidates, give Hall

received majority Of SO votes in Gibson.
DAVIESS CO.
WASHINGTON TowSsHIP:-Hall lit maj
We learn from the clerk of the polls in
Pike that in Daviess county Halls majority
will be between three and four hundred.
POSEY CO.
MARS TowNsHP:-Hall, majority, being
net gain of 100 over Miller's vote in '62
In the county Miller's majority for Con

ler's majority, official, 81.
PIKE COUNTY.
We are indebted to a friend for bringing
Us word from Pike last evening, that In six
townships, Halls majority is 40 votes. Two
townships to hear from, which will probably
give Miller so mrjority.

PIKE COUNTY.
VANDERBURGH COUNTY.

We publish to-day full official returns
from this county. Hall has received ma
jority of 60 woes in this county. Miller re-
ceived majority here in '52 of 2S3 votes |!
There has thus been gain Of 343 votes in
Vanderburgh. This is the handsomest gain
given by any county in the District, and
proves we have been doing good work for
Judge Hall.

The Linn Co., Register in a very able ar
ticle on the political parties, thus touches up
the united, harmonious, indivisble, and i'm
pregnable democratic" party:
But says one-"I am a Democrat and al
ways expect to be a Democrat-my party
never changes-never falters." Well,
friend, to what branch of the Democratic
party do you belong! Did you 90 for the
River and Harbor Bill, or do you approve OF
the Presidents veto of that bill-are you for
the Homestead Law or against lido you 90
with Benton for the Pacific Railroad or with
Pierce and Hunter against it,-are you in
favor of prohibiting Slavery in our new ter
ritories, or do you believe with Cass in
"squatter sovereignty!" On all these ques-
tons the Democratic or Administration party
is as wide apart as the poles, and its mem.
bers are as firmly arrayed against each other
in reference to them as they ever were a.
gainst their avowed political opponents
We see it i'm California, where a Northern
and Southern party divide the State between
it's factions. We see it in Maine, where the
"Wild CATS and Hunkers are arrayed
against each other. We see it in. Missouri
where the "Bentonites" and "anti- Benton.
ites' throw the State into the hands of the
Wings. We see it in Pennsylv ania, where
Wilmot leads the van in the assault upor
the Administration forces, and we see it il
Michigan, Wisconsin,, Indiana, Vermont ant
Ohio. were thousands of Democrats have
united with Wings and Free Sellers in tn,
formation of great Republican party, which
is destined to sweep over these States, like
the fire over the al. eady scorched praries.-
1t is idle therefore, to pretend that the Dem
ocratic party is a unit-for it is not. Its ranks
are broken-its forces scattered, and tn,
next U. s. House of Representatives will
startle President Pierce with the fact tina
he is without a majority to sustain him o
his administration.
