Kansas Election Yesterday.

THE election Of the Free State mon
Of Kansas was held yesterday, and OK.
Governor REEDER was undoubtedly
elected delegate 10 Congress, whore he
will have a contest for his seat with
WHlrFIELD, the rro.slavery man. The
Mo. Republican, (pro.slavery) Of Mon.
day. says:
The election to be held by the Rev.
olu.ionists is fixed for next Tuesday,
An effort will be made to give Resder
much larger number Of votes than have
been given to Gen. Whitfield, and this
can readily be done, as there will be no
body to watch tho ballot boxes. We
incline to the opinion, however, from
what we hear, that the Lawrence and
Topeka districts will have tile honor Of
giving nearly all the votes which Gov.
Reeder may receive. In some counties,
it is very doubtful whether the polls will
be opened OF all, aud certainly very
few votes will be given.
The Pro.Slavery men, satisfied that
they are right and that they are sustsin.
ed by the law, will in,erpose no obstacle
to the farce which Governor Reeder and
his party have elected to play out. and
il there should be any disturbance on
Tuesday next, it will be because the
Abolitionisls provoke it.

Second Ascension of Mr.. Winchester
Fearful Appr ehensions.

Mn. WiNcHEsTER made ballon as.
cension from Norwalk on Tuesday last.
He commenced Initiating his balloon
early in the morning, and at 2 P. M.
stepped into the car and cut loose from
earth. The balloon rose rapidly, and
In five minut passed into the clouds
out Of view. The wind was light, and
at the time he passed into the clouds his
course was due east. He was seen
passing over BerIinville, on indication
that tho balloon met with north east.
erly current, which would take Mr.. w.
over the Lake in the direction of Buffalo.
The Experiment says:
At the time putting our paper 10 press,
Friday evening,) three days have elaps.
cd since the ascension was made, and
as there have been no tilings received
from Mr.. Winchester, the most fearful
apprehensions are rife as 10 his fate.-
When he started. he said he intended to
20 higher and further than any Eronau,
had ever dared to think Of going. 1t is
feared by some that when he got into
the supper current" the intense cold.
ness which prevails in that region soon
rendered him insensible and that he
was frozen 10 death. Others think that
he mus, have come down in the lake
and been drowned. We are fearful that
some accident has belaIlen him. still we
cannot relinquish the hope that he is
safe, and that he will live TO make many
more ascensions.
1t will be recollected that Mr.. w.
made his first ascension from Milan this
fall and landed near Hudson. He rose
to the height Of over 10000 feet, and
was so cold at one time as to become
sleepy and insensible, and that when he
next observed the thermometer the mer.
curry indicated S deg, below zero. The
bags Of sand in his balloon we're frozen

than 160. 900 in the Crimsa. And then
all Europe in arms on the Niemen or
the Vislula would have been starved out
in three months. Germany and Prus.
sia would have suffered terribly; while
France could and can, as well as Eng
land, much more easily provide for her
troops in the Crimea by the aid OF her
fleets than she could in Poland or in any
place in the interior Of poor country
which the Russians would have laid

am sure that even now, il tho Russians

continue the struggle in the Cfimea.--
This is what the Ctimean expedition

l believe, | hope. that the Russians
will do the impossible. But 10 tell you
the truth, my heart bleeds, for ! SEQ that
by this event the progress Of civilization
has been stopped on two points. First.
in the West. Louis Napoleon is fortified
and tho abjectness Of the French in.
creased--in whose eyes, with very few
exceptions, the least glare OF military
glory su fices for liberty, honor, morali.
ty. and real national dignity; and then
in the East, where in spite Of all that is
said TO the contrary, Russia was an
agent of civilization, and where Russia
alone could and can gil that office.
The Czars have received fearful pun.
ishment for having followed for more
than twenty years past German and
not Russian policy; for meddling with
European squabblss: for marching into
Hungary in ls49 instead Of taking Con.
stantinople in 1s4s, as Russian interests
demanded at ,imo when nobody could
have opposed it. 1t is terrible lesson
by which they will profit. You are
young, and you will live long enough,
am sure, TO SEQ Russia rise again. HeI
latent forces are too great to be broken
by even this terrible blow. As for me,
have nothing but the petty consolation
Of seeing the great Kossuth Aoored. II
even last year Russia or Nicholas had
had the courage to make an appeal to
the Sclaves of Southern Europe, where
now would Austria be with or without
her allies?

voting for some one else. 1t has been
the usual pfatice for the rival candi.
dates to vote for each other, and il this
rule had been observed in this instance,
Gov. Brown would have been elected
upon the first ballot, but he knew that
there was but one majority Of the Amer.
lean party in the House. and il he had
given his vote for his opponent hs would
have been liable to the imputation Of
having sough. to force Gen. Donelson
to vote for him, and by ono vote hs
would have been elected. Such, how.
ever, was the exquisite temper OF h:s
mind that he scorned 10 resort TO the
expedient, and sallently threw away his
vote: .b
At last q resolution was adopted 10
the effect that, after Q certain number
Of bsllotings, the candidate having ths
plurality or votes should be declared
elected. When this resolution. passed,
Brown declined the nomination, and the
House adjourned. At the next session
Gen. Doaelson also withdrew, and M
