.Goxhen Leye-iur Committee.

We have the last fortnight received calls
innumerable, and Communications intermin.
able from the citizens of Goshen in regard
to the late trial of certain young men fol
destroying the cabin of negro in that place.
Two weeks ago we published brief state
ment of the matter, received from what we
considered reliable authority-but which
confined no encouragement (and paid nc
compliment, friend Clarke to deeds of vio-
lence. We found, however, upon CONVEX
sing with gentlemen who were present at
the trial. that We had been misinformed
on the subject, and last week cheerfuly pub
lished what the author assured us were the
the facts in the case. Since then we have
received other statements substantially the
same, and replies contradicting their truth
and as We have already presented the differ
ent versions of the matter, we propose let
ting it rest until brought before our County
Court where we shall probably be able to
get correct view Of the subject.

man life, is 10 be sought in the introduction
OF enlarged experience and praciicability
into the service of the State.
That the exclusion from Office of those

FOREIGN NEWS.

The Steamer Baltic arrived at New York
on Friday, with Liverpool dates to May 5.
The siege of Sevastopol was progressing
but the commandment had nearly ceased
from scarcity of ammunition. 1t is gener-
ally believed in England that the siege
would be abandoned for the present, and
that while kannesch and Balaklava are
; left to The defence of a few corps, the main
portion Of the allied troops would try to
penetrate into the interior and cut off the
supplies for Sevastopol. and then complete.
" invest the town. No general attack has
yet been made by the feet on the sea forts,
though each night a single steamer has
been enabled to approach sufficiently near
to throw both shot and shell to advantage.
The army before Sevastopol is in good con-
dition; the troops are reported as healthy,
well fed, housed and clothed. Though re-
Inducements were constantly arriving, up to
the latest dates the Allies were neither nu-
merous enough nor sufficiently well provi-
ded 10 undertake a long campaign in the in
terror of the Crimea.
The principal Inhabitants of London have
called public meeting to organize an Ad-
ministration Reform Association. Similar
meetings. prompted by the principal men of
all political parties are to be held in Liver
pool and other towns.
The Emperor Of the French narrowly
escaped assassination on Saturday evening,
April %, when riding attended by only two
members of his household through the
streets. An Italian, Pianori by name, dis
charged two pistols at him at the distance OF
from FIVE to ten yards, and had two other
loaded pistols in his pocket ready to be dis
charged, when he was overpowezed and
| taken prisoner. Pianori, it appears served
in the regiment of Garibaldi at the siege OF
Rome. The circumstances of the case were
of course thought to indicate conspiracy
and the hiring of paid murderer, though
Pianori says he was actuated solely by
feelings of personal revenge The Emperor
has been overwhelmed with congratulations
on his escape.

How THEY DO IN kANsAs.-George S.

damages accrning to any one member, even

and the presses at Lawrence. are decreed

distance, and that they would not stop until
every Free Seller is driven out Of Missouri
and Kansas.
Mr.. Park says that he telegraphed Gov.
Price and President Pierce for protection,
but no answer was given. He traces Ia
Atchison the destruction of the Luminary
establishment. Mr.. Park promises more

from if possible an answer favorable to the
wishes and hopes of the suffering. But such
result cannot be reached, for those enqui-
ries have established the fact that the sup

while by reason of Immigration the number
of the hungry is constantly being added to,
the food for their sustenance is as rapidly

also that from the incoming crop large de-
iciency must first be made good, before
there will be surplus to distribute gener-
erally-so that even after new wheat shall
be gathered period may elapse before a
great measure of relief is felt. We appre-
bend that speculation has not in fact much
to answer for in the present continued infa-
ton Of prices, though there is class who
attribute every such rise in the necessaries
of life to the cupidity and grasping nature
of merchants and middle men, as if every
trader were a famine-monger, and every
dealer in breadstufs necessarily an IRON
hearted gate keeper demanding toll from
the stomachs of all who were dependent
upon him for supplies. Norman who is de-
pendent on the markets for the supply of
grain or potatoes consumed by his family,
should neglect even the small spot of gar
den he may own or rent, for every vegeta-
BILE that he can raise will by one little item
lessen the necessity Of purchase abroad
An hour or two distracted from the morn
ings' sleep, will, if well employed in the
garden ensure the production OF multitude
of luxures as well as necessaries, and the
evils resulting from high prices be greatly
