The strussle IN Esnsas.

From the day that the KansaS-N ebrasIl bill
was clothed with the forms of law, have
done what we could to encourage the emigra-
| tion to Kansas Of capable, energetic, indepen-
! dent farmers and mechanics, who would en-
! deavor to make her Free Territory and in
| time a Free State. We have never represen-
ted that region as a paradise, though we be-
lieyc it contains very much good land, enjoys
! a fair, mild climate, and lies on one of the
| great future highways of commercial inter
| course between Western Europe and Eastern
Asia. We do not believe every one fitted to
| succeed in Kansas, and have uniformly dis
| couraged the migration thither of any but res
| olute, ng-handed workers, who would be
| likely TO succeed any where. And, though
| the false cry that the Eastern Anti Slavery
men were sending paupers into the new Ter
| ritOries has been echoed through Missouri
and along the border until many believe it, we
are confident that a better class of immigrants
one more able toasustainf itself, has never yet
settled in any new country than that which has
left Newly ork and New-EnglaHd to uphold
| the flag of Freedom in Kansas.
From the day knnsas was organized to the
present, we have heard ofno single act OF out

| Slavery cnligration 1t has not even been al

immigration from the South. Yet, on the
| other hand, meeting after meeting has been
! heldby Missourans, now on one side OF the
line, then on the other, at which violent and
threatning resolves against Anti-Slavery i'm

ofa settled purposed to crowd Slavery into

cor. ANDREw G. cuRTIN.

Now, that the election is over; and having
resulted so gloriously, it is nothing more than
right and proper to refer TO those whose labors,
aided to achieve so brilliant victory. To be
sure, the people Of all parties contributed to
the election of the Hon. James Pollock but
we know of no one who Iabored more jealous
iy for the success of Pollock, than Col. Cur
tin, of Centre county, chairman of the Wing
State Central Committee. We therefore full
ly endorse the following from the Phila. DaiIy
Net0s.
Cor. CURTN.-We would do Injustice to
meritorious services of an able and faithful
Whig, if we were to withhold the need of
praise due to Col. Curtin, the indefatigable
Chairman of the Whig State Committee for
his gallant and noble bearing throughout the
entire canvass, which has resulted in such a
brilliant and unprecedented victory. OF all
the duties pertaining to such a canvass, those
of the Chairman of the State Committee are
the most arduous and embarrassing, requiring
not only great amount of energy and perse-
verance, but sound discretion and consummate
tact and skill.
Col. Curtin so conducted the canvass as to
avoid all show or parade, and to accomplish
the greatest amount of good in the shortest
space of time. Instead of following the ex-
ample of the Chairman of the Loco Foco
State Committee, and keeping the columns OF
the papers of his party filed with long address
ses from the opening until the close of the
campaign, he confined himself to two briei
and pointed addresses, issuing one at the COM
mencement, and the other at the close of the
canvass. He adopted another and more eff
cient mode of effecting thorough organiza-
tlon, and ensurlng success. His aim was to
serve his party, and promote the election of
its candidates, and he did not hesitate to take
the steps most likely to accomplish the OBJ
ject, though in doing so he could not make
the display of himself in the papers as Mr..
Bonham did. The result attests the wisdom
and correctness of his conduct, and the eff
cheney of his labors as chief manager OF the
canvass. All honor TO him for his faithful and
efficient services.

Ezpress is informed that on Tuesday,the 18th,
fiend in human shape, on the road between
Moore's Ferry, and Hicks Ford, attacked a
small and very respectable girl, some twelve or
thirteen years old and ruth lessly violated her
person. The girl struggled hard to resist the
outrage, and bit the william severely on one. of
his fingers, which may possibly lead to his de-
lection. He is a man of medium size and
height, dark complexion, and full dark whis-
kers and moustaehe. His upper front teeth

sation. He had on an overcoat, was riding

in Ohio exhibits one of the most. remarkable

Before the election the Liquor dealers oxpec-

now seem to consider that the friends of Pro

the question: If Prohibition. had been carried
by as small majority, would the Liquor deal

Legislature to enact law without future con-

SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE NEAR NEW
RURGH, \. Y.-On the % inst, some of the
neighbors of a man and his wife named Smith,
who lived about fourmiles from Newburg. en-
tered the dwelling of Smith and found the
wife dead in her bed and the lifelesS form of
her husband lying in a pool of blood on the
floor, with his throat cut from ear to car
But the strangest feature of this sad affair Is
that the body of the woman bore not the slight
est mark of violence and appeared as though
She had fallen asleep in death; and what ADDS
still more TO the mystery is the fact that the
neighbors were in the house the evening pre-
vious and found both in their usual health
The persons who called upon them state that
Smith was usually rude in manner and very
biasphelious. and 4tpon his wife's upbraiding
him and telling him that she did notthinl his
conduct proper preparation for the Sabbath,
he remarked that she need not worry herself
about that. as neither of them would ever
snend another Sabbath in this world. As IL
was his habit TO make reckless speeches moth
ing serious was thought of this expression,
but the mornings light revealed scene that
fully realized his fearful assertion. Coroner
Parmenter, Of Newburg was summoned 20
hold an inquest over the bodies on Sunday
but the result of the investigation we have not
learned at the time of our going TO press. 1t
is supposed, however, that Smith admins
tered to his wife some kind of poison which
had an immediate and deadly effect The
affair is mysterious one altogether.-Pohee

APPLES WITHOUT SEEDS OR OoREs.-A
correspondent of the Memphis Wing
gives the following receipt for obtaining
apples without seeds and cores: Take
the ends of the limbs of an apple tree,
where they hang low so as to reach the
ground. dig a small hole for each end
Under the tree, bend it down and bury it
IN the hole, combining it down so that it
will remain. Do this in the winter or
beginning of spring. The end of the limb
thus buried will take root, and put up
sprouts or scions, which, when they
become sufficiently large to " set OUT -
dig up at the proper season, and trans
plant them in the orchard where YOU
wish them to remain. When they get
large enough to bear, they will bear
apples as above.
