THE INTEGRITY or THE PRESENT ADMINIsTRA-
TION.

An artclen the Detroit Daily Advertiser of recent date
contains the following remarkable passage: "0n the 4th
of March, 1859 General Pierce opened with clean balance
sheet The taking administration of Mr. Fillmore, if
had done nothing else, had bequeathed embarass
mens TO its successor"
We think it would be well if the editor of the Detroit
Advertiser could induce some one Of the members
of his congressional delegation sympathizing with him
In opinion to test the truth of the declaration he
so arrogantly puts forth. We think it would appear
that in of the departments the administration
which General Pierce succeeded did leave the clean
sheet which snch boastu reference is made or if these
gentlemen not willing TO undertake this enterprise
commend to them careful perusal Of the annual reports
of the several heads departments under the present adj
mnisraon beginning with the Treasury and Post Office
Departments. These public documents and have been
scattered the length and breadth Of the country and
we think careful examination of their contents will show
that Gardinersm, that great fraud which had banied all
the efforts Of Mr.. Fillmore and his ministers, and
finally exposed by the rmness and aressness Of Pres
dent Pierce was confined TO the which has be-

DEATH OF BlsHoP CAPERs.-A tclegraphic
dispatch from the Office of the Columbia
Times informs us briefly that the Rev. Dr..
Capors, one OF the Bishops of the Methodist
Church, South, expired at his residence, in
Anderson village, on Monday. We have
been eQnaly shocked and surprised by The
news, having received no intinatlon of his
sickness, or that his health was in any way
impaired. Dr. Capers was, we believe, about
sixty five years Of age, and had for Il very
long time held undsputcd rank among the
first preachers in the Southern country. de
was eloquent, laborious, Jealous, and idenii-
fled heart and soul with the prosperity of his
Church. His death will he deeply drplored,
not only by his co reigionsts, but by ;he
general public, who rcvered him as one OF
the distinguished sons of South Carolina.

~ The gold mining interest of Yir.

tEs- The gold mining interest of Virginia,
it appears, is more extensive than many per-
sons are aware. The Petersburg Intellgen.
Ger gives list embracing fifteen of the most
important mines, the aggregate value of which
is estimated at 81 100000. OF these, i've are
not worked for want of capital, or because
their ownership is disputed; and four, valued
at $4,000, are owned 10y English companies
The great drawback to gold mining in Vir.
gina and in other States, has been occasion
ed by the want of adequate machinery. 1t
is thought that the difficulty has been sur
mounted by the use of the Eureka Crushing
Machine invented by New York mechan.
ic. 1t is in use ut one Of the mines. The
Intelligencer is of opinion that as soon as
THE present stress in the money market is
passed, gold will induce capitalists TO invest
their spare funds in that State. 1t also men.
tons that copper and silver are to be found
to n great extent.

The Africa has arrived at Boston and de-
| livered her mails.
The London Times gives an awful picture
Of The condition of the English troops in the
Crimea. OF the whole force of English
Infantry, only $4,000 men are fit for duty,and
it is said the ether corps are reduced in sim
liar proportion. The Times thinks the allied
army will be annihilated unless some un-
expected turn of fortune intervenes TO save
them.
The French rihemen are reported to have
obtained possession of m important post,
driving the Russians back with heavy loss.
A despatch from Odessa, dated 9th JAN,

In the hospital at Scutaai the wounded nj.

the Danube and the joint protectorate Of the
Principalities.
The rumored change in the English Cabi-
net is denied.
The French funds dcclinedD three-eighth

that government was hesitating between
peace and war.
The Africa has brought very little news
relative to the progress of the siege or Of ne
gotiatons.
The French and English Plenipotcntiafies
at Vienna have received orders TO reopen their
diplomatic negotiations on the basis Of the
"iour points, but it is probable that they
will be protracted until something decisive
occurs ut SebastopoI. Letters, however from
Vienna state that Prince Gortschakoff has
been instructed to accept any terms except
those insisting upon the reduction of the
Russian fleet and The occupation of Russian
territory. Austria seems to net in concert
with the allies, while the conduct of Prussia
is still doubtful.
Sardinia is about to send fifteen thousand
troops to the Crimea.
Hamburg, lubec, and other German States
have forbidden the enlistment of troops for
the service of the allies.
Nothing further has been received relative
to the invasion of the Dobrudscha. The
Russians, after the affair of Tusha, recrossed
the Danube, and a dispatch from Vienna
says that Count BuoI had demanded an ex-
PLANTATION Of this affail from Prince Gortsca.

KANSAS AND NEBRAsKA.-Rev.C G. g. Boyu-
ton and Mr.. T. B. Mason went out as COM
mittee to examine these two territories on
behalf Of the "Kansas Legislature Of Gin
cinnati. They have returned and published
their report in book, from which the fol
lowing is IN extract:
"Ihe conclusion then is, that much larger
proportion of both Kansas and Nebraska
particularly the former, is susceptible of cul.
tivatior than has been supposed, and that
Kansas possesses the elements Of one of the
largest and most powerful States in the Union
Very little, If any, Of her territory will remain
a desert"
SIN comparing Kansas with other Terrific
ries, or States, it must he remembered that
in her eastern division, there are from forty 10
fifty Thousand square miles, in all of which
there are almost no waste lands. There are
no barren mountains, no s"amps or marshes,
no lakes and no rocky hills. 1t is one vast,
unduating plateau, exceedingly fertile, and
ready for the plow. How many States in the
Union can boast of even forty thousand
square miles, which will admit OF being cul-
tivated! Add to this her central pasture
grounds and her New England regions on
the west, making IN all more than one hun
dred and twenty thousand square miles, and
it will be seen that, with her coal and mineral
resources in general, she has the elements of
an Empire State"

cnt appearances, there will be more houses TO
let in that city Than there are tenants for three
months hence. There are more empty stores
and dwellings now than have been known so
early in the seascn for many years past; and
rents, it is generally conceded, must come
down at least % uer cent. from last years

ployment, can hardly find bread for thsr
mouths, much less money for landlords.

THE WAR.

There is a remarkable scarcity of intciIi-
genee respecting either the progress of the
seige or the progress of negotiations for
peace. The chief interest now centres in
the proceedings Of the Congress at Vienna.
Hopes are entertained that the negotiations
may lead TO peace; but equal well grounded
apprehensions prevail that the present nego-
tations will fai! to reestablsh peace, in which
event, all concur that the war will assume Il
vaster magnitude.
The French and English Ministers at Vi
emma have received the necessary powers to
enable them to re open negotiations. This
intelligence is derived from telegraphie dis
patch dated Vienna the 18th inst. Letters
from that city inform us that the policy of
the Allied Powers will br to retard negOtia-
tons, in the hope that in the meantime the
fall of Sevastopol will happen, to influence
the decision of the Car.
On the 10th or lth inst, Prince Gortscha-
koff is understood to have received written
instructions from his Government in regard
to the pending negotiations. The exact con-
tents are, of course, secret, but rumor from
well inform, d sources says that Russia again
expresses the Cars readiness TO enter into
negotiations for IN honorable peace, and also
his earnest desire to put an end to all present
difficulties 1t is also stated that the Austri-
an Minister expresses IN earnest desire to see
peace but will, nevertheless, firmly insist
upon the acceptance by Russia, Of such con.
ditions as the welfare of Europe demands;
but, it is added, Austria will hesitate to con.
clude al offensive alliance with England and
France until the latter powers shall have
stated exactly the nature of their demands.
AS et-otf against this statement, Count |
Buol, the Austrian Minister, is reported to |
have declared ut complimentary dinner to
the Ottoman Minister that Austria would /!
fight side by side with England and France
against Russia.
Vienna letters also boast Of Austria's good |
faith and determination to proceed TO hos
tiilics. /

Weller says:
This important branch of the business of

small, and the reception of orders to any

firm in Beverly last week received orders
from the South for eleven thousand dollars

Subsequently he became the leader of the

he was member of the State Constitutional
Convention, and recently, we believe, gave in

in the United States Senate lately occupied
by the Hon. Edward Everett, and at present
