Removal of Reeder.-Great Cry and
Little Wool

The Federal Hindoo papers are excessively
exercised by the removal of Gov. Reeder-
A few weeks since, the WdtchDaan and Free
man were down on Reeder with immense
fury, because he so far sanctioned the course
of the ''border-ruffians" of Missouri as to give
certificates of election 10 large majority Of
the Legislature of Kansas, elected as they
said, by 'Stringfeilow & Co." Gle was
very careful" said the Freeman in substance,
''to give certificates to majority of the pro-
slavery members" and every Federal Hindoo
paper in the country said the same. They
further accused Reeder Of being "the tool Of
the Southern Slavery propogandists' and de-
clared that the President was using him to
establish slavery in Kansasl'' Now, behold
these same papers abusing the President, by
the removal of this Northern Doughface" as
the Freeman called Reeder, for sanctioning a
Legislature, over which he had as much con-
troll as the Governor of Vermont and no
more, and which Reeder himself, and nobody
else, sanctioned The President in TO way
interfered with the Kansas Legislature
Reeler had the management of tie lohole matter;
gaze certificates to tohOm he pleased and settled
the matter 20 SUIT HIMSELF; and now the very
consistent Federal Hindoo papers charge that
the President is guilty OF attempting to up
hold a Legislature, because he has removed
from Office the very man who made IT,
The truth of the whole matter lies i'm a nut
shell. Long before the "border mfians" en-
tered Kansas, Reeder, the three Judges, the
district Attorney, and several officers of the
army, were officially accused of specializing
in lands. OF this accusation they were noti-
fed. Gov. Reeder, for long time neglected
to take any notice of the accusation. He
did, however, at last explain his course; this
explanation was not satisfactory and he was
removed. Explanations have also been re-
ceived from Judges Lecompt and Elmore-
the latter has, also, been removed. A COM
mission of enquiry, consisting of Clark and
Churchhil, of the army, was sent out and has
made a report concluding with censure upon
a Major Montgomery, who is to be tried by
cOurt-martial
The peculiar state of affairs in Kansas, no
doubt, induced the President TO move with
great caution. Gov. Reedcr has had ample
time tomake satisfactory explanation Of his
misconduct. Every indulgence, consistent
with honor has been shown him, and he was
removed, only when it was impossible to re-
tain him longer, without the President openly
sustaining the band Of land pirates which I'M
fortunately have infested Kansas, and which
hc appears at last determined to extem-
nate-out of which the Galphinites, and spec
ulators are welcome TO all they make.-Per-

Prentice, was never perpetrated.
Mr.. Newcoimb, who rode all over the
county last year, making private and public
pledges TO not vote for search, seizure and

Rail Road Record.

Do THEY NEED RAILROADS AT THE SOUTH
The following paragraph taken from the
Charleston Mercury is pretty coed evidence
of the utility of Railroad investments, how
ever much its wisdom may be questioned in
times Of panic and revulsion.
"Reckoning up the receipts of Cotton al
this port since the first of September last, we
find it amount to a little over half million
of bales. In this we include the Sea Islands
and the amount received from Savannah. Ii
is the first time we have approached this
figure, and it places us second on the list OF
the Southern Cotton ports for this year.
"The receipts of Charleston are about
100000 bales in excess of last year. Those of
Savannah are also largely increased, though
in less proportion. The increase in both
has been due in great degree to two causes:
the extension of Railroad communications
with Alabama and Tennessee, and the extra
culinary interruption of river navigation in
those States during the present season. The
inst OF these causes is permanent, and the
second is likely to have a great effect on fu-
ture arrangements; because on the part of the
Atlantic cities there is presented a certain, in
competition with an uncertain, mode of trans
portation to market. 1t is not hard to see
which will eventually triumph"
This significant fact affords strong induce
ments to those engaged in Railroad enter
prlses at this present moment in the various
Southern States, to urge on their work. And
1t is not without its moral to the planters of
Alabama and Mississippi. If they do not
wish to become tributary to the seaports of
distant States, they would do we'll to aid in a
material way the enterprises of their own.

ESCAPE OF SEvENTY-TwO BOYS FROM A
HOUSE OF REFUGE--We copy the following
from the New Orleans True Delta of the 18th
inst
"Hevia street was in connection Yesterday
evening, owing to a stampede among the boys
In the House of Refuge, seventy-two of whom
bolted at one dash, making bee line for the
woods. The plan of escape was well laid,
and need not be attributed to any want of
vigilance on the part of the officers, most of
whom were on duty at the time. In the rear
Of the cesspOol is gate, which is complete
ly masked byit.
"While a majority of the boys were up
stairs going through their religious exercises,
under the instruction of the Rev. Mr.. Brown,
the secretary of the board, few of the old
hands, and most incorrigible vagabonds, Sc
creted themselves in the rear of the cesspool,
and out of the observation of the officers,
and managed to cut away the bar that secur-
ed the gate. This being accomplished, the boys
at signal from their bugleman, made arush for
the opening, and, as already mentioned, sew
enty-two succeeded IN making their escape
before the stampede could be arrested. This
stampede may shock the questionable philan-
thropy of some of the fathers of the Refuge
but 1t will be great saving to the city treas
ury in Its present rickety state"

IL necessary to override, by violence, the Con-

persons were present Gen. Schuyler presi-

nying the legality of the Legislature now in

regarding its acts without authority, pledging
themselves to resist its authority, recommend

The WATERS OF THE AMAzoN.-Lieut
Maury has recently written letter to the
National htelhgenesr giving publicity to dis
covery which, in his opinion, affords positive
proof of the correctness of his theory that tho
waters of the Amazon, after leaving the
mouth of that mighty riyrr, pass to the north
ward through the Gulf of Mexico, and
mingling with those of the Mississippi, finally
wend their way to the ocean through the
channel of the Gulf Stream. The letter
says:
"My investigations had taught me to be-
lieve that the Florida Pass, commercially
speaking, was the mouth both of the "Kire
OF Rivers" and the Gather of Waters" but
until recently have never obtained any veri-
hcatlon of this belief. On the % of April
last, however, Lieut.. De Haven picked up on
the beach OF Galveston Island, Texas, bot
tie containing paper, the record of which |
was unable to decipher. Feeling confident
that document so carefully corked up and
sealed must contain matter of import, trans
mltted 1t to Prof. Bache, who handed il over
to the eiectrotype division of his Office, and
1t was then discovered to be a tally or index.

tie had been carried with the waters of the
Amazon, thousands of miles. to the northern
shore OF the Gulf, and lay there among the
DRIFT wood which had been brought down by
