The very phlanthropic editor of the New
Yord Tribune, who plots treason, and processes
benevolence at the same time, cannot repress
his generous sympathies for the poor. The
apprehended rigors Of the approaching winter
are leading him to premature exhibitions of
his characteristic benevolence. AS he contem-
plates the prospective hardships and sufferings
Of the poor around him, he breaks out into
the following ejaculatory recommendations to
the rich employers:
"Let every farmer who can, therefore, re-
solve to keep some laborers at work through
the winter, and not turn all off when the bar-
vest is gathered to wear out the inclement
season as they may.
nThere is no longer any lack Of laborers
wishing TO be employed. You can find them
in almost any township; or if not, there will
henceforth be thousands Of them vainly seek
ing work in our city. Any neighborhood by
sending an agent here may hire as many as
may be wanted on reasonable terms forthwith
Farmers give the poor chance this hard
winter"
To this lip philanthropy and fippant pen
humanity of the Tribune, the Day Book thus
happily replies "If to find work for the in
dustrious deserving poor is TO save them mo-
alone from want and degradation why, in The

TOURISTS DESCRIPTIONS
OF THE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON.

Americans do not owe much gratitude TO
Englishmen for kindly notices OF their charac
tiers and their institutions Until recently nearly
all of the English travellers who have come
among us have filled their books with abuse
and ridicule of everything American. Lately,
there have been some honorable exceptions.
Among them we may notice the celebrated
William Chambers, one Of the conductors Of
Chambers's Journal, published at Edinburg.
His impressions (says the Louisville Journal
in notice of his account of his American
Tour) seem in general to be favorable, and
when otherwise he dissents in the style and
tone of language of gentleman and phi
losopher. Revisited Washington, and, ofcourse,
it's celebrities, such as the Capitol, the Presi-
dent, the Smithsonian Institute, &c. His visit
to the Capitol he alludes to in the following
paragraphs:
"I must not omit, However, to mention, one
thing from its extreme novelty. This is the
perfect liberty to roam at will, without question
and without payment, over the whole building.
Nor is there any want of attendants ready and
willing to afford any sort of information. BY
one of these was obligingly conducted to the
top of the cupola, whence splendid view was
obtained Of the city beneath the two environinng
arms of the Potomac, beyond which were the
woody hills of Virginia, forming framework
to the picture. On descending from this giddy
altitude, ventured to offer gratuity to my
conductor, which he respectfully refused, with
an explanation worthy Of recording:
"I cannot take any money, sir, for doing my
duty. am public officer, and paid by the
public" If there be door or gallery-keeper
in either House of Parliament, who would in
this way refuse half crown, let him by all
means be named, for he must unquestionably
be prodigy!
"The grounds the building are prettly
laid out with shady walks, and near the en-
trance is O sparkling fountain with drinking
cup to appease the insatiate craving for water,
which seems kind of disease among the
Americans. In the grounds on the east is the
celebrated statue of Washington by Greenough;
it is of colossal size in sitting posture, and,
being executed in Parian marble, the effect is
striking, though the spectator is not inclined
to admire the exploded fancy Of representing
modern soldier as a halfnaked Roman. There
are several other figures connected with the
Capitol, but none which appears to require
notice.

RUMORED COLLISION IN KANSAS BE-
TWEEN NEW ENGLANDERS AND
MISSOURIANS.

A letter published in the Milwaukee Sentinel
under date of 4th October, Lawrence, Kansas
Territory, states that difficulties have taken place
in consequence of the New England settlers
having encroached upon the claims of the Mis-
souri, settlers. Both parties are represented as
preparing for hostilities. The letter published
in the Milwaukee Sentinel is from one of the
New England settlers and endeavors to excul-
pate them and to inculpate the Missourians as
much as possible. If the rumor be true, we
shall probably soon see more correct account
of the affair in some Of our exchanges.
But whether the statements of the writer be
true or not, and whether the Missourians or the
New England settlers commenced the violence
that is represented to exist, this fact is undenia-
ble-that this unfortunate condition of things
is the natural result Of the improper means
that have been employed by the Abolition
fanatics of the North to people Kansas and
Nebraska with men of their own stamp. They
forced emigration from its natural channels,
by organizing, equipping, and furnishing expe-
ditions for these new Territories. They raised
means for their support, and sent only such as
would promise to carry out their vile Abolition
schemes They absolutely purchased the souls
and bodies Of these emigrants with the view
and purpose of excluding a free, spontaneous,
and unbought emigration from every other
part of the country. We protested against this
mode of settlement when it was first developed,
because it was unjust and because we felt Ger
tain that it would inevitably result in trouble,
if not in violence and bloodshed.

HAvRr DE GRACE, Oct. 26.-About halEpast
O'Clock a large drove Of cattle was being driven
across the Port Deposit bridge, and when they
were about midway, two spans OF the bridge gave
way from the excessive weight, and precipitated
lance of some forty feet The crash was tremen-
dous and fearful, and the fall decided one. The
cattle swan and foundered about in the water,
making their way mostly to either OF the shores.
/ have not learned whether any were drowned or
killed, nor whether either of the drovers went
down with the falling bridge.
The wires of all the telegraphs Morse and
House lines) cross the river upon this bridge, and
they have been all broken, thus suspending en-.
tirely all telegraphic communication for the time
being with the North.

upon his autobiography, in which he has al
ready advanced some two or three hundred
pages. 1t will not, however, be published un-
til after his death, and that event, judging from
his present appearance and condition, it is
said, will probably be many years hence.

Usury.-There is an established rate Of in
terest on money in this District-six per cent. f;
but, so far as lending is concerned, usurious rates
are more generally paid than those prescribed by
law We know of instances in which two per
cent month was enacted, but the transactions
were conducted in such way as TO evade the
statute. And even higher sums have been paid
for cash accommodations. Improvident persons
frequently subject themselves 10 the operation of
the brokers' razor, and in no city of equal size
with Washington is the business, probably, con-
conducted to such great extent, and SO scientific
a manner, as in this metropolis.
