SETTLEMENT OF KANzAs.-A letter TO
New York Tribune, dated Lexington, Va,
says numbers Of young men in Western
Virginia, opposed to slavery, are getting
ready to emigrate to Kanzas territory, TO
assist in making it free State. This is
an unlocked for aid, but as Western Yir.
ginia is strongly opposed to slavery, it is
no! all unlikely. The same sort of en-,
igration may perhaps 60 from Kentucky

that which had been paid for. The
Premier was mute until asked what he
had to say. He replied that he was not
in the habit of looking into such domes
tic matters amid the responsibilities
which surrounded him. He had vet TO
learn that the reception of jewels and or
naments by his lady was q public Of
fence. He presumed that Madame BoIrl-
la, like her Serene Highness, could net,
in courtesy, decline present which gal

Santa Anna hsd received several valu-
oleS-a brilliant cloak, carriage and
horses for the General, &C., from parties
vic thus showed their gratitude in a
delicate way for valuable contracts with
Santa Annals government. His Serene
Highness, on this investigation, turned
his frown into smile, and passed the
whole affair of plunder off as joke, say

who walked so consecutive hours upon
wager at San Francisco, and was nearly
killed by the feat, undertook. on bet of
$4,000, to walk 100 hours. Commencing
on Wednesday, he kept on the move
until Saturday night, when he began to
show the effects of fatigue, and staggered
good deal, particularly at the turnings.
He carried stick in his hand, and a
friend kept by his side continually and
tried to keep him in. conversation. As
tho night advanced, Hughes became
very drowsy; but by the application of
stimulants and slight whipping, he was
kept in motion until Sunday morning,
when the crowd became SO great as TO
effect him considerably by the vitiation
of the air in the room where he walked.
The time expired at IL o'clock at night,
but before that time he presented pit
liable sigh His mind seemed to be COM
pletely gone, and he would occasionally
speak to the crowd, who were endeavor-
ing to arouse him and keep him to his
task by every possible means, and ask
what they were doing there, and such
other questions. So far was he gone
then, that some of them claimed that
he had lost the bet. He still maintained
his position on the plank, however, until
twenty minutes to IL o'clock, when his
friends gave up the task Of ke,ping him
at work, as hopeless one, and allowed
him to come down. He was walked off
by them and properly cared for. Though
failing to accomplish all that he had un-
dertaken, he has nevertheless, performed
the unprecedented feat, of walking with
out cessation or rest, for the space of
ninety-eight hours and forty minutes.
A NATION OF ATHEISTS. E. Bur-

lows: 1.-The japanese are nation of
Atheists, denying the existence of God,
and selecting as an object of worship
either the Spiritual Emperor of Meaco, or
any other japanese. He was told by tina
interpreters that formerly their religion
was similar to that of China, but that
the belief in Supreme Being had latter
ly been entirely discarded; and they
professed to be much shocked on Dee-yee
no-skee declaring his belief in the Deity,
to whom, and not to the Spiritual or
Temporal Emperor, he said his success
full application for, and thankful acknowl-
edgements of. deliverance from the drift
