Gov. REEDER-SEoRErARY MARoY-PREsI-
DENT PIERoE-The Missouri Republican of the
lst inst, publishes Gov. REEDER's letter to
Secretary Marcy in defense of himself against
the charges of having made purchases of Kan.
sas half breed reservations, and of specializing
in the lands of the Territory of Kansas. lie
says:
In relation to the first charge, of purchase OF Halt
Breed Kansas lands have to say that have pur-
chased no such lands at all. With others, l have
agreed TO purchase them in case the contemplated
purchase shall receive the sanction and appreciation
of the President and this, in my opinion, is ma.
terial and substantial difference. Until the Presl
dent, by his appreciation and the vendors by the
execution of their deeds, eonsummate the contract,
it precudes US from any interest in the land, and
even the privilege of entering upon or possessing
it. Vendors and vendees until then preserve all
their rights unchanged and unaffected and if the
President shall not assent to the contracts, it will
be as though they had never been made. If there
is any wrong in the NATTER it is not wrong COM
mitted, bat at most only wrong attempted, and In
the face of all probability, wrong which we ex-
pected to be sanctioned by the President.
In conclusion he says:
cannot conclude this letter without again urging
upon yourself and the President, as matter OF tne
simplest Justice, demandahle by the humblest man
in the community, that should be informed oslSe
particular act to which exception IS taken, ana the
particular aspect in which it is considered culpaole,
and if any law or regulation is violated, what that
law or regulation is l cannot suppose that the
President has any desire to avoid rule so neces-
saw to a correct and conscientious discharge OF his
own duty, and so indispensable to the excupatlon
even of the most innocent man, and the absence OF
which, above all things, s calculated to bring the
innocent and the guilty into the same category; and
therefore ask it in the fullest confidence that it
will not be denied.
The Easton argus, published at Reeder's
former home after stating that his removal
has elected the strongest expressions OF mdig-
nation here, and speaking its own sentiments
clearly and iercely, makes the following sug-
gestive disclosures respecting the President:
Immediately after the first election held in Kan
sas, one after another of the Missouri invaders
called upon the President and filed their complaints
against the Governor, charging him with neglect of
his official duties, Illegal specuations in lands &c.
We state upon authority that cannot be disputed,
that President Pierce at that time told a friend 81
am satisfied that Governor Reeder possesses firm
ness, honesty and capacity, and man who has
these three qualities don't often get wrong" We
happen to know, too, that our Chief Magistr ate
gave Gov Reeder repeated personal assurances that
che approved OF his course, and would have acted
precisely as he did in the same position.

SWORN OFF.-Shuman, of the Syracuse Jour-
nal, has foresworn the use of tobacco hence
forth and forever He says: ave had smoked
until our nervous system was like fiddle I'M
strung-until we had become as weak as q
child, as miserable as constant headache and
heartache could make MS, and as wild-brained
as drunken poet. We were smoking our
nervous system into fidgets; our corporal
frame was being reduced TO skin and bones,
and our mental machinery was becoming dis
ordered and unmanageable. The habit cost us
not little suffering, and about 81 a week in
hard cash. We swore off, and stopped it
have not smoked Whit sinoe-feel better, and
Ire growing fat and strong. We pronounce
lhe use of tobacco great vice, and advise all
I .ur friends-young, old and middle-aged--to
, Top the use thereof, at once and forever"

az The poet, JAMES G. PERoIvAL, holds
the office of State Geologist of Wisconsin,
having been appointed by Governor Barstow
about year ago, since which he has resided
there. A newspaper correspondent thus des-
cribes him: "His nose is hooked and thin,
his eyes grey, his mouth closed, his forehead
high and broad, with the shade of unhappy
years and torturing thought upon it. His
timidity is unconquerable; lie is now as bash
full as a child-is frightened at his own voice
in strange circle-never speaks until he is
addressed-sbuns society, and seeks no friends.
Devoted to his duties, he spends his days in
mineral holes and quarries, and his evenings
in recording his observations, and his nights
in quiet sleep. He is quite poor, depending
upon his profession as geologist for his sup
port"

Care Of Carpets.

The Agriculturist says-"With proper care
carpets can be made TO last a long time In
the first place, moths must be guarded against.
Eve " crack in the floor ought TO be filed with
putty, and well dried. If there is no time to
dry the putty, papers can be laid over it. Car
pets should never be laid next the floor. The
sand wears them ont If they are. a little
straw or soft hay scattered on he floor does
very well, but old straw mating or drugget,
or an old wool carpet does better. For very
nice carpets, cotton bagging, tackled between
coarse, unbleached cotton, is the best thing
that can be used Experience has proved that
carpets wear third longer for being wadded.
The dust goes through to the floor, and the
carpet needs much less sweeping than II other
wise would. A little damp grass or brown
paper sprinkled on carpet when 1t is swept,
saves the wear of IT, For a nice carpet q
broom should be kept which is not used Tor
other purposes. Every spot should be washed
OF a. soon as seen Wool carpets should be
taken up and shaken once year, and ii The
room Is common size, twice or more When
carpet Is taken up it should be carefully ex-
amined, and II any places are burned or worn,
they should be carefully darned with the raw
elhngs TO match. carpet can be saved very
much oy guarding the entrance doors With

ANOTHER SwINDLING FKM.-Some three
weeks ago Luke Kent, jeweler, of Cincinnati,
received letter from Baltimore, signed Dun
can & Ross, No 33 East Piatt street, informing
him that there had been, for some time past,
stored in their warehouse, on Piatt street,
several packages of value to his address. On
these there were $l475 charges, and on the
receipt Of this sum, they would be forwarded.
Mr.. Charles Betz also re ceived letter about
the same time. Mr. Betz sent his letter to the
Mayor of Baltimore, but 10 word has ever
been heard from it. Mr.. Kent sent his letter
to his correspondents in Baltimore, who write
that there is no such firm, and that the swim
die has been exposed in the papers. Other
letters have probably been sent to the West,
but we suppose the exposure of the swindlers
viii prevent them Fl ON fleeing any body now,
if they found any one verdant enough to walk
into their trap.

French Observation-Disclosures on the War.

NJ de Montalembert delivered remarkable
speech in the French Chamber before the vote upon
the contingent was taken. He would not refuse
man dollar for the prosection of the war, but
he wiseed to give expression to regret and an ap-
prehension. His apprehension was that the alliance
with Australia was in danger of being unsettled, and
that the public being led to think that Austria
had in some way failed to execute her engagement.
He regretted that the proposed ultimatum drawn
up by Count Buol, which, if rejected by the Gar
and accepted by the Allies, would furnish Austria
cds'ts beti had not been accepted According to
the correspondent of the New York Commercial
Adrertiser, writing from Paris, on the 18th ult:
He thought nothing could be attained without
Austria, and that even the taking of Sevastopol
would, with her, be fruitess success. He hoped
the war would not change its character; that it
would remain an eastern war; of equilibrium,
a political war, and not become a European of
conquest and revolution. He thought it his duty as
good citizen to point out the perilous path in
which the government would become involved, if il
suffered itself to become the instrument or ally of
revolution. Abiding to the army the orator said
IF wished to particuarize would mention Gen.
CanObert whose conduct has been, in one word,
sublime. It is on level with the noble acts of
antiquity and of chivalry.' This discourse of Mon
taembert's appeared in the papers, amended and
reduced, and adapted to the public eye. Two days
afterward the author of it in bis seat and said
that the officially prepared report Of his words dis
torted his meaning and that it could not be said OF
such official publications that they were correct
He administered a sharp rebuke to all concerned
The report of this again to-day is very much sOf-
tened and tond down."

China.

A correspondent of the New York Herald writes
from Canton:
To those of US somewhat acquainted with China,
it is wonderful that the Chinese did not during the
late troubles about the duties cut off entirely, by
stopping the transit from the Interior the trade Of
the port This they meditated and nothing but the
establishment of the Custom House with the CO.. p-
Grafton Of the Foreign Consuls, prevented them
Destroy the Custom House and the trade OF China
will be cut off, Repudiate our solemn treaty stipu.
ations and the United States will have no com
merce in China and no use for Ministers and Con i
suls, Of the ''back duties" it is clear beyond a
doubt that the Chinese are entitled to every cent
from the time the Taouac returned with fresh seals
Sept 27th,) to replace those which had been sto-
len by the mob. The assertion now echoed at
home that there was mo protection" is founded
on cash operation to the merchants, though at
the expenses Of honor and truth. That they ship
ped the tea and silk they don't deny, but that
they therefore owe the duty, they do. The ave.
nues to the silk countries about Hangchow Hoo.
chow, and thence up Green river the green tea
countries Hangchow, and the black tea district of
Hochow, Ningchow and Todien, have been always
held by imperaists and when the foreigner would not
pay the duties they did not stop the trade, because
they were told that the governments of the United
States and Great Britain would oblige their citizens
to pay all their notes.
These promises have been repudiated by the
English and the Americans have followed in the
same line to the extent of two thirds, from which
Chinaman considers the English have no honor, but
the Americans one-thrd part Such has been the
confidence the Chinese have placed in foreign words
and foreign notes. AT any moment, and at a hun
dred points, they might have cut off the silk and
tea from coming to any port in China and now,
from the lesson they have learned concerning the
honor Of Foreigners they viii do so, interered with
again in exacting all which has been guaranteed to
them by treaties. The occurrences at this port of
late indicate fine offering to Yankee enterprise;
but We must do our duty faithfully and honorably
to the Chinese, we viii blast our prospects, and
lose that which nothing but war can regain.

Theodore D. Mathew, Of Edgartown, Mass,
who was appointed Commissioner under the
personal Liberty Bill" by the Governor, de-
clines the appointment on the ground that this
act conflicts with the law of the United States
in regard to fugitive slaves. 1t is pity that
the Office should go begging, when the ap-
pointment is really in the hands of the Com
rnittees, who are are all Freesolers.
