The Law Sustained.

Anthony Burns, the fugitive slave, on whose
account all Boston, and we may say New Eng
land. has been so much agitated, was remandcd
by Commissioner Loring, to his owner, after a
faithful and full examination of the claim of his
service.
The most appalling array Of frantic and fan
atical dislurbers of the peace crowded the city,
rendering it necessary to call out large numbers
of [, S. soldiers and marines, and TO station
cannon charged with grape, so as to sweep the
main avenues, in order to keep down riot, mob,
and murder.
Obedience to the laws is the duty of all good
citizens, and he either knows little Of his obliga-
tions to society, or cares little for his country S
veal, who, because statute does not meet his
views in all particulars, will bolt the law and
raise the standard of anarchy and misrule.

plosion of a hidden mine along mans pathway,

For how many have, in their best days, contrib
uted to the general stock for the maintenance Of
the Poor, when no thought was more distant
than that necessity should one day reclaim a
share of that stock for them. Yet the deposites
which they have made in prosperity for suffer-
ing brethren, becomes reserved fund for them
selves. Besides, the superior advantages to be
found in q County Poer House, for those who
become public charge, may, if properly con-
Quoted, be rendered cheap thing to the public,
if not indeed paying one.
We hope good location viii be selected, and
that we shall soon be able, in this respect, to
rank with our neighboring counties that have
already made suitable provisions for the destitute

The Territory of Kansas,

The new Territory Of Kansas lies west of Mis-
souri,. 1t extends west three or four hundred
miles, and consists principally Of beautiful and
fertile prairies. The timber is mostly confined
to the neighborhood of water courses. There is
moro wood, however, in Kansas than in Nebras-
ka, which lies west of Iowa; and more in the
eastern than in the western portion of the terri
tory, where those treeless plains commence that
stretch to the mountains. The scarcity of timber
is the only drawback, and this must prevent
parts of it from becoming thickly settled for .
long time. 1t would seem, that Providence de-
signs these immense prairies, stretching eastward
from the Rocky Mountains for thousand miles,
TO be the great grazing region of North America
just as he does the Mississippi valley for grain,
the Gulf States for cotton and the Atlantic States
for manufacturing. Upon the large prairies of
Illinois and Missouri, however, hedges and stone
fences are coming extensively into use and the
same mode of fencing will be adopted in Kansas
Coal is known to exist in different sections Of the
territory, and it will probably be found in sufii-
cient quantities for fuel
The soil is well adapted to grass and grain,
and in portions of it, especially near the Kansas
river, there is excellent hemp land. For farming
purposes, that portion through which the Kansas
runs, with its numerous small tributaries is es-
teemed the most desirable. The soil is surpassed
by none in the West, and at very distant day
the valley of the Kansas is destined to become
one of the most attractive in our country. 1t is
situated the centre Of our country, also,
as need be; Fort Riley the Kansas, one hun
drcd and sixty miles west of the Missouri line,
being the central point of tho United States, as
near Gs can be ascertained. Along the valley of
the Kansas, also, must some day pass the great
thoroughfare between the Atlantic and Pacific,
whether the first Pacific railroad take this route
or not. Copper ore has been found also in this
region.

Sale Of Ehe lTaiE Line.

An adjourned meeting of the stockholders of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was held in
Philadelphia on Monday last, for the purpose Of
receiving the report of the committee relative to
the purchase Of the Main Line Of the State
Works.
In the report, which was read by Mr.. Stephen
Colwcll, they say that, d" Their investigation
has however, forced upon them the unanimous
conclusion, not to advise the purchase upon the
terms fixed in the recent act of the Legislature
authorizing the sale"
After some discussion, the committee weredis-
charged from further consideration of the SUBJ
ject.
1t would now seem probable that the Central
Company will not be bidders for the whole Of the

that this information is correct and its reaching
me simultaneously with the rumor of Spanish

Gated, that Spain had expressed willingness to
send twenty thousand men to Turkey, if France

one hundred pounds fired, and the excitement
was for time very great. Several persons were
wounded, and one was killed on the spot The
cause of the destruction of the house was that
pistols were fired from the building as the Know
