the Ohio river and other points-mostly the
former, including l25 bales fair at $95(0

500, and 56 bales at $l02; also,..8O bales
tow at $6OPton. At close, the market was
quiet, the most Oft the orders in hand having
been filled, and as the stock that has been
pressing on the market had been mostly dis
posed OF, the market was frmer. The
stocks in warehouses are reduced to 5000
bales, ofwhich 800 bales are held entirely
out OF the market The stocks consist chief
ly of inferior and medium qualities, and of
prime there is very little remaining, and
consequently i: is held higher.

A letter from Havana says that it was re-
ported that the British vessels of war which
had arrived at that port had seen a fleet of
American vessels crowded with men, and on
the Sd inst. the whole Spanish fleet got un-
der weigh and left the harbor with a num-
Der of troops on board.
1t is said the government received secret
advices of iillibustering movements by the
Catawba.
Rumors were current that Hineldeloro
the second in cammand at Havana, had MI
tined, and left town for the South side, tc
embark for some part unknown.
Don Raman Pinto, one OF the most inhu.
entail Spaniards in Cuba, has been arrested
charged with being in a conspiracy against
the Government, and numerous other ar
rests had tsken place.
All sorts of fillibustering stories were
current.

How They SOUND Fire ALARM IN
STocKHoLM.-An American, writing from
Stockholm, Sweden, says:
"Fire is rare occurrence here, almost
every house, even the very poorest, being
built Of stone; consequently whent does
occur there is great excitement. Along
every street man goes beating drum VIC
lently, and every house is obliged by law to
send barrel of water, which stands ready
in each courtyard. This rather slew and
primitive method of extinguisbing conAa-
grattons, would scarcely answer in our tin
der box towns"

A Counter Stroke.

Under date of January 20, the Washing
ton correspondent Of The St. Louis Republic
can, writes
"a rich scene is anticipated in the Senate
shortly, it being rumored that Senators Doug
las, Broadhead and Weller design introdu-
cling the Know Nothing question, with
view 10 making an attack on certain Sena-
tors suspected Of being members Of this Sc
cret association. Some day last week res
olutions were introduced by Mr.. Broadhead
denouncing secret political associations as at
war with democracy but they were quietly
laid on the table. Should they be again call
ed up apd the anticipated attack made, then
the following counter resolution will be sub
mitted.
Resolved, That the President of the Uni
ted States be requested to communicate TO
the Senate, if not incompatible with the pub
lie interests, what information he may pos
sess of the organization in this city Of Sc
cret political society; whether or not that
society holds It's meetings in Catholic
Church, and whether it has been addressed
by any member of his Cabinet with his
knowledge and consent.
This resolution will fall like bomb shell
among the members of the Senate friendly to
the Administration, for it may lead to an ex-
posture as Notifying as disastrous. 1t may
disclose the fact that an anti-Know Nothing
league has been formed in this city, with
liberation as its password; that this league
numbers some sixteen hundred members,
and that it has been addressed at least once,
if not oitener, by Mr.. Attorney Gener-
al Gushing. II these facts should appear, il
would seem strange why Mr.. Gushing
should have been selected 10 address the
'League," when there was Catholic in the
Cabinet. The secret may be this: In the
city of Baltimore there is a lady Of great
wealth and without living relative within
her knowledge. This lady is devoted
member Of the Roman Church, and thus fal
has been prevented from marrying. with the
hope that her estate would eventually fall tc
the Church. This fair damsel of forty-fvt
summers and slots of TIM" has captvatet
the affections of the Attorney General. BY
judicious course Of lectures before thu
League" the priesthood may be reconcilet
10 the marriage even at the loss of the cash
I say, then, look out for fun whenever III,
attack is made on the Know Nothing mem
bers of the Senate"

Slavery and Commerce.

The whole commerce Of the world turns
upon the product of the Slave labor. What
would commerce be without Cotton, Sugar,
Tobacco, Coffee, Rice, and Naval Stores?
All these are the products Of slave labor
It is a settled fact that free labor cannot pro-
duce them in scufiicient quantity TO supply
the demands of mankind. 1t has been said
that one free laborer is equal TO five slaves.
If this be so why has not free labor been en-
ploycd in the production of the above sta
pies? 1t has been attempted, and in every
case in which it has been introduced has
failed. The world follows its interests, and
If free labor is more valuable than slave, it
would be employed at this moment in the
United States, Cuba and Brazil, which are
all open TO free labor. And herein note the
greater liberality and self reliant strength of
the slave over the free States. The farmer
freely permits the Northern Capitalists to
come in with his Tree labor and compete
with slave labor. The latter pass laws pro-
hibiting the Southern capitalist from coming
in with his slaves TO compete with North
ern labor. Their prohibitory laws are pass.
ed because they are afraid of slave compe-
tition; whereas, the South, in the face of the
pretence which has been handed down from
WilberGorce 10 these times, that one white
laborer is equal in value 10 five slaves,
throws her doors wide open and invites the
free labor TO walk in and try its hand, and it
dare not come! What would become of
England, the a, ch-agitator of abolitonism,
but for Cotton, by the manufacture ofwhich
she has waxed lat and strong, while she
curses the system by which it is produced.
BY the way, will some one inform us why
the English conscience has never suffered
as much from slavery in Brazil as slavery
in the United States.-[Richmond Dis.

been in to-day 1t gives us no pleasure to
wage war on public officers; on this account
we have said nothing of Gov. Reeder, know
ing il to be impossible for any official to give
satisfaction 10 all; but the repeated, contin-
ued, and almost universal complaint which
has grown out of the course of the executive
Of Kansas, leaves us no room for longer
doubling his Partially, and we might al
most say per6dy. In his instructions 10 his
officers engaged in taking the census,h e vio-
lated all rules of propriety, and required
the citizens TO answer questions, imperti-
nent and insulting. In addition 10 this he
appointed character of men TO the office of
Censor who were unacceptable to the peo-
bic, and who, from their own obliquity, or
by the influence Of the Governor, were in
duced TO omit many citizens, thus endeavor-
ing to make it appear that the number Of o-
tiers in the Territory is less than that receiv-
ed by Gen. Whitfield and consequently
that his election was unfair, and the result
Of Missouri interference. This game, the
Kansas Herald says, twill not win.'
Governor Reeder has evidently mistaken
the spirit of the people he is attempting to
Govern. A community Of slaves always
stand ready 10 applaud the actions of their
oppressor; but we very much mistake the
character of our neigbors in Kansas, if they
submit tamely TO any infringement of their
rights. The crafty Pennsylvania will find
them equal TO the exigeneies of the times
and always prepared 10 take care of their
own affairs.
The coming election will be one of vast
importance-for upon the action of the first
Legislature depends, to a great extent, the
domestic institutions of the Territory, and
afterwards, State. We have no doupt o.

citizens but do their duty, as they did las

how signally were they then defeated? Sc

Mr.. GREEN: Some interest spreng upto
day both in the Senate and House of Rep
resenlatives. The bill in the Senate, pro-
posing to remove the State Sta;uary lien on
the several railroads 10 which she stands
pledged by her bonds for eight millions two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and
which proposes 10 postpone these liens to
secondary position, and to let the railroad
company pledge them by prior liens TO those
who may advance money for their compile
lion, was argued most Of the day without a
vote having been taken at the close of the
day. 1t is thought the bill may pass the
Senate, but cannot become law in the
House.
In the House, at an early hour, the inter-
asst law was taken up, out of the regular
order, by vote OF twothirds being the
Senate bill proposing to re-enact The ten
per cent, law.
Mr.. Hardin moved TO reject The bill, ma
king the declaration that his constituents
were all against any change in the interest
law.
Mr.. Davis addressed the House at some
length, in favor of rejecting the bill said
that he acted not only from q sense of duty,
but in obedience to instructions.
Mr.. Brown, of St. Louis, replied with
much warmth IN favor of the bill; followed
by Mr.. Barrett on the same side, who spoke
with much earnestness; and after the dinner
hour Mr.. Reed, Of Jackson, continued the
defence Of the bill.
Mr.. Doniphan of Clay, next got the floor,
and remarked that he would give way in
order that the two reyisors to be chosen in
that House might be chosen. Upon which
the House chose Mr.. Hardin and Mr.. Reed.
defeating Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Todd and Mr..
Kelly. The House adjourned till Monday
morning, Mr.. Doniphan having the floor,
who is understood to be in favor of the ten
per cent. side of The question. The revl-
sors of the statute laws were chosen by the
votes of Wings and Antics.
1t is said that Miss Sally billiard passed
through town a short time since, and among
other things told the Antics that rs they had
bull one principle in their credible niger
question--they had better look to it-that
Col. Benton, like Banquo's ghost, would be
upon them so soon as he closes his public
duties at Washington-and il she be allow
ed to guess they would have to ''avaunt,' ~
and flee to the mountains SHAT Col. DON
phan was as sound upon their principle as
Mr.. Atchison, and was much more favora-
BILE TO the west upon all other questions
and if they could get the public printer and
few other small favors, tweny-eight OF
nine Of them had better vote for Col. Doni-
phan for Senator now-then Benton would
have no place 10 contend for. Miss Dill
