Stfn Later from Kansas.

We copy the following despatch from the
Louisville Courier Of the 5th instant:
WESTON, Mo-, Dec. 4.
A message was received late yesterday even
ing from I. t. Abell esq, at Atchison, Kan
sas Territory, stating that one of the leaders
of the Kansas legion had been arrested by
some Of the citizens, and when he found that
he was taken, he attempted to destroy some
papers he had with him by chewing and swal-
lowing them. He was, however, prevented
from accomplishing it, and upon examination,
the papers were found to contain the secrets
of the Midnight Order"
Atchison was to be burned down, and Pat
Laughlin, who exposed the secret Abolition or
ganization, was to be murdered. The citizens
Of Atchison had mostly left that place to join
Governor Thomas's force at Lecompton, and
there being scarcely any arms remaining in
the place, they desired company Of armed
men from Weston to help them repulse any
attack that might be made by the Abolitionists
on the town. A company Of our citizens,
therefore, prepared themselves, and left last
night for Atchison.
These occurrences are producing dreadful
state Of excitement in our midst. Groups of
men are constantly watching about the streets,
to hear the latest news. Should these disturb
ances increase, our business transactions in all
this section Of the State must necessarily be
seriously checked.

Arrival OF the Ariel.

The steamship Ariel, from Havre, with
dates to the 23d, arrived at New York Dec. g.
She left Cowes on Sunday mornings the 25th,

Times of the day previous, which contains some
items later than received by the America.
Some trifing engagements have taken place
at kertch between the advanced posts Of the
Russians under General Urungel, and the
Anglo Turkish contingent The latter were
hard pressed, and had sent to Balaklava for
reinforcements.
Kinlusms was protected by a squadron of
frigates and floating batteries, in addition to
the permanent Notifications. The Allies fear
that the Russians may make an effort to re- take
it as soon as the river freezes over.
The London Times Vienna correspondent
states positively that preliminary steps towards
the realization of the first of the four guarantee
points are about to be taken. The first point
relates to the principalities, and the second to
the future position of the Christian population
in Turkey Conferences relative to the re-
organization of Moldavia and Wallachia would
begin at Constantinople as soon as the Austrian
Envoy reaches that city.
The Times Berlin correspondent states that
it was rumored that the Swedish alliance was
doubted there; and that the failure of the har-
vest in Russia was confirmed. Large quaint
ties Of corn were being imported by the Russian
Government from Prussia.
General Simpson and suite arrived at Mar
settles on the 23d of November. The French
squadron, under Admiral Bruat, with the I'm
perial Guard, was spoken in the Archipelago

Mischfevous Course OF Gov. Rseder.

The Pittsburg pa Post says that it is GER
tainly unfortunate that Mr.. Reeder was ever
sent to Kansas as lis governor. His course
throughout was an ill-advised and unfortunate
one. He called a Legislature together, giving
certificates of election to most Of its members.
He fixed its place Of meeting at Pawnee city,
on his own land. He addressed message to
that legislature and be vetoed one of its earliest
acts. he thus recognized it as a legislature
having the power to enact laws, and il was
such. After doing all this, we find him next
declaring that it was not Legislature because
it had removed to another place And yet
after that he vetoed another Of it's acts, thus
recognizing it as Legislature still. He was
then removed He then counseled resistance
to those laws, and got himself informally elect
ed as delegate to Congress. He is now at
Washington to claim his seat, leaving TO his
deluded friends in the Territory to fight the
battles Of a civil war if the quarrel comes TO
that unfortunate result Mr.. Reeder's mis-
takes have done much mischief

Another Destructive Fire at Norfolk.
About one o'clock on Saturday morning fire
was discovered in the grocery store of the late
Mr.. James Henderson, on the south side of
Main street. in Norfolk, which was supposed to
have been placed in the cellar by an incen-
diary. The Portsmouth Transcript says:
The flames soon spread through that build
ing, and communicated to the adjoining tene-
ment on the east occupied by Messrs. Adams
d Co.'S Express, aud thence to the extensive
furniture establishment Of Mr.. j. l.. Salisbury
These three establishments were entirely con-
sumed with their contents. The FIRE extended
In the rear To the restaurant and boarding
house of Mr. Pebble in Church street, which,
with an adjoining building was also destroyed.
The dry goods store of Mr.. j. Fl. Dawson, the
store Of Mr.. Schisano, and Others on the oppo-
site side of Main street, we're considerably in
jured, and much damage was done to the goods
both by fire and water, particularly the stock
Of Mr.. Dawson. Much loss was also sustained
by the removal and destruction Of property in
adjoining stores on both sides of the street.
The drug store of Mr. Webb, west of where the
fire originated, was completely emptied Of its
contents, but the building was saved with but
little damage. Messrs. Salisbury and Webb,
we understand were insured, whether the other
sufferers we're or not we have not learned.

ton that pioneer Of civilization and that from.
tier hero-Colonel Jack Hays. His name is
as familiar as household words. Transferred
from military to civil life, we learn that he
shows as much ability in the latter as in the
former. AS Sheriff OF San Francisco and as
Surveyor General Of California, (which Office
he now bolds,) he has surprised his friends
even, by display Of civil qualifications almost
equal to those qualifications for military com
mand which so eminently distinguish him.

THE FOREST REvERIE.
ny a. NJ. IDE, JR.


IT'S said that when
The hands Of men
Tame the primeval wood,
And hoary trees with groans Of woe,
Like monarcbs by a mightier foe
Are In their strength subdued,
The virgin earth
Gives instant birth
To springs that ne'er did flow,
That in the sun
New rivulets run,
And all around rare flowers do blow;
The wild rose pale
Perfumes the gale,
And the queenly lilies adown the dale,
Whom the sun and the dew
And the breezes WOO
With the gourd and the grape lux uriant grow
So, when in tears
The love of years
Is wasted like the snow;
And the fine 6bres OF it's life,
BY one word sharper than n knife,
Are parted at blow,
Within the heart
Do springs upstart
OF which il doth not know;
And strange sweet dreams
Like those bright streams
That from new fountains overflow,
With the calm tide
Ofrivers glide
Deep in the heart whose hope has died.
Quenohing the fires its ashes hide
Its ashes whence will spring and grow,
Sweet flowers ere long
The re and rsdient flowers Of song.

Now, comparing the above products Of the
soil with the yield Of California gold, above
presented, the result is not little remarka
bic. IL will be seen that our crop of Indian
corn, IT we value it at but half the present
market price, amounts to more than all the
gold from California, and that our wheat crop,
at the most moderate estimate, is worth as
much as all the gold now in the country !;
while the moderate growth of oats, with ali
reasonable allowance for exaqgeratiou, more
than equals any two years produce Of the
California mines

The Lsbors OF a Historian.

The 18th volume Of NJ. Theirs history Of the
French Revolution has been published. 1t is
to be succeeded by three more, appearing at
intervals Of three months. He has been EN-
ployed upon the work some fifteen years, but
the distinguished historian excuses himself as
follows;
"The work might, acknowledge, have been
done more quickly, bot have such respect for
the mission Of history that the fear Of alleging
anything inexact fills me with sort Of confu-
sion. take no repose until have discovered
the proof of the fact which is the object OF nv
doubts. seek it wherever it can be, and do
not rest until / have found it, or until have
acquired the certainty that it does not exist
Under the influence OF these scruples, the
author read, re.read and noted with his own
hand "the innumerable documents contained
in the archives of the State; the thirty thous
and letters composing the personal correspon-
dence Of Napoleon; the letters, no less numer
Gus, Of his ministers, aidesde. camp, and even
Of his police agents; and, finally, the greater
part of the manuscript memoirs preserved in
the bosom of families"
skS- The following pungent editorial appears
in late Westers paper:
"The undersigned retres from the editorial
chair with the complete conviction that all is
vanity. From the hour he started his paper TO
the present time, be has been solicited TO lie
upon every given subject and can't remember
having told wholesome truth without dimin-
ishing subscription list or making an enemy.
Under these circumstances Of trial, and having
thorough contempt for himself, he retires in
order to recruit his moral constitution"
