gTHE New York Herald in speaking
of Wilson Shannon, the newly appointed
Governor of Kansas, says he is determin-
ed to be on the safe side, to begin WITH
He goes for all the acts of the lato Kansas
Legislature, without knowing what they
are. Addressing the Missourians, he calls
it their Legislature, which is very ridi-
culous bit of fattcry. And he goes for
slavery in Kansas, and gives his reasons
for it. This is a pretty good beginning for
Mr.. Shannon. When sent out as minis
ter to Mexico, by Mr.. Polk, it is said that
this same Mr.. Shannon, in order to inform
the Mexican government exactly Of the OBJ
jects of his mission, laid before it his secret
from the State Department,
and soon returned, in consequence, a dead
failure. Now, if his speech at Westport
was also in accordance with his confden-
tial instructions from Washington, what
can Marcy say to the free soil soft she'll of
New York? ? Great administration, this !!
1t discharges, upon false pretences, its first
Governor to Kansas as knave, and sends
out another to supcrsede him who appears
to be within gunshot of being fool
Lovely administration! Happy people
q Kansas! Glorious doctrine, that OF
'squattery sovereignty" with the privilege
If a first Governor for the "thieving abo-
tionists," and a second for the "border
,ufians!' Nothing like equal rights.

KANSAS Observation-Disclosures AHEAD
The first movement towards revolution
in Kansas has already been taken. A
Convention Of the People met on the 5tl
inst. resolved to repudiate utterly the &C.
ton of the late Legislature, and to resist
every attempt to enforce its enactments o,
Laws, and determined to take no part in
the election for Delegate to Congress, or.
dered by that body, but to hold an election
on their own authority. They also om-
mated Ex-Governor Reeder as their can
didate, and he accepted the nominations
1t seems certain, therefore, that the citi
zens of Kansas will refuse obedience to the
laws enacted by the late Legislature that
they will refuse to pay the taxes it has
levied, and will resist forcibly any attempt
to collect them or to punish offences or
offenders against their enactments. This
will bring about direct collision between
the people and the Government-for Gov
ernor Shannon has declared his determi-
nation to enforce obedience to those laws :;
and there is every reason to apprehend a
civil war in Kansas, as the result of the
conflict.-4N Y. Times.

DEATHS DaNGs.-The yellow fever il
Nerfolk, Va, has SO olten swept off who'll
families, and all their connections, that, il
many cases, it may edifficult to find eth
WILL the grave, or the personal propert,
OF the deceased.-for, in some cases, nom
have been left to tell the tale In the cas-,
of the Norfolk Beacon office, not onl,
were the printers. apprentices, reporters
DC, all, or about all, swept off, but the ed
itors in chief, both have followed, anc
are now in their graves These cases Of
these editors-Mr. Cunningham and Mr.
Gatewood-were particularly narrowing
They were well connected in Norfolk, but
both single men, and both could have left
but their connections began to be seized
and they would not fly and desert them
MIR. Cunningham attended upon and buried
q dear friend and relative in Mrs. Com
mander Barron,-in her day one of the
most brilliant OF the Southern bellies at the
BaRston Spa. Almost alone, and in the
dead of night, he buried her in the Barron
family graveyard, and subsequently her
daughter.
Captain Starke, of the U. S. Marine
corps, a relative by marriage, was next
seized, and then his wife and her daugh-
ter, and then a near and dear cousin in
Mrs. Starke'S sister, all of whom he nurs-
ed and cared for with the tenderest inter-
est, and with whom he would remain, in
spite of the most earnest solicitations from
relatives abroad to abandon the pestiferous
place; but while nursing the last of them
the tavorite cousin-the disease seized
him and hurried him to the grave.
Another cousin-Mr. Gatewood, his part
ner, doubtless waited upon and nursed
him, but now Gatewood is gone, and only
the old and worthy father and mother re-
main of at once large circle of relatives
The branches are withered, but the trunk
remains in Norfolk. Death so interlated
the destinies of one with the other that no
one could leave without deserting some
other, on the bed OF disease ana DEATH
What adds to and aggravate this interest
ing group of facts is that three persons to
whom letters have been written from New
York, inquiring as to the details of death
all three are now numbered with the dead
and these letters go to the dead letter office,
the dead Office indeed.-N Y. Express.

Eg-TnE YELLOW FEvnR.-This pest
still continues to depopulate Norfolk and
Portsmouth. The weather was exceed
ingly favorable and nothing could be more
appalling than the present condition of az
fairs. AT Norfolk, Thursday the Goth,
there were 10 interments, and on Friday
2S, on Saturday there were 33 deaths, and
Sunday 81, among whom We're five ply
scians. The President of the Howard
Association died on Sunday afternoon,
and his death added greatly to the despon-
dency of the people.
At Portsmouth, on Thursday the Goth,
there were % deaths, Friday %, and Sat
urday 80. The mayor has been taken sick,
and is now at the Hospital Tt is n>tima-
ted there are about 2300 persons in
Portsmouth, of whom 1000 are still sick
but convalescent.
Acclimated physicians and nurses are
much needed, but the authorities hope no
more will come from the North who have
not had the fever, as they will furnish fresh
victims to it.
Up to last Monday week ago, the whole
number of death in Norfolk alone amoun-
ted to 1857, and this out of population
not exceeding 5000. Where will it end.
P. S. Since the above was put in type,
we have received more cheering nsws from
Norfolk and Portsmouth. On Monday
and Tuesday last there was a great falling
off in the mortality as well as in new cas-
cs. There was frost on Monday night
at Norfolk. and strong hopes are now en-
tertained that the epidemic will rapidly
abate.

there the horrors of war are kept up the

wisdom or is it obstinacy which keeps the
Allies in this fatal spot where the Russi-

melt away by disease and exposure, more
than by encounters before the walls .
Winter, too is coming again to chill them
into death by its icy breath. and will find

n PowpEz IN RknHo1D CxRs.-On the
afternoon Of the 7th inst. .s the freight
train was on lis way from Boston TO Al.
bany. on the Western Railroad, when
about q mile from Greenbash one Of enc
Ecars took fire. There being ne water
near. and the car. being filed with IN uerchan-
die. the engineer hasiened on to Greea-
bush where the flames were exfinguished
after having burned the entire roof Of Inc
'lcafs off; and soeuriously had the fire burnt
around all the cornes that the sides fell on,
bodily. though, with the exception Of the
edges, they wefe scarcely scofehed. AZ
ter unloading The freight several cases
marked Dry Goods. in order to prevent
their contents being further damaged, were
broken open but. instead Of beng found
TO contain what they were taken for, they
were filed, with the exception Of Just
enough dry goods to prevent the kegs from
rafting. with gunpowder. There were
some thirty persons assisting on the occas
ion, and it may be easily imagined what
was their indignation and alarm at this
disclosure. With sparks and smoking
einders all around them, and with some
hundreds of pounds Of powder in close vi
cinity, no wonder that curses, not loud
but deep, should have been vented upon the
scoundrels who had resorted to such means
of deception, and thus jeopafded numerous
lives. -ss F.. H.E1,sI-a.3 -.-
When the fire was extinguished it had
reached within three or four inches Of the
powder itself, some of the boxes being
slightly scorched, and under these circum.
stances, had the train been compelled to
run three miles instead of one, the result
must have been fearful. There are no
words that can fifty express the feelings of
indignation which should arise against the
perpetrators Of such an outrage. ut course
tn re can be no blame attached to the rail-
road company, as it is one OF their rules
that no powder shall be transported over
the road. This rule is strictly adhered to,
and they honestly took this freight as it
was marked, DRY Goods and of which
it had every appearance. But it is with
the shippers of these cases that the Crime
lies. For the purpose of saving few pal
try cents and gaining little time, they
resorted to low cheat; they became, in
reality, accessories before the fact to a
Wholesale murder, and, as such, they should
be severely punished.-Boston Times.
