Flogginy Slave Hunters.

About two months ago, two men, who
live near Independence, Missouri, nam
ed Calbert and Bagsby, came to this city
in search of four of their runaway slaves,
who had come thus far on their way to free
dom. They put up the City Hotel and
their business soon leaked out. Their chat
tells were all here, consisting of two young
women and two men. They soon found
ont this, and enlisted in their service a
person named Thurston, who promised
to catch their negroes for them for $40
This they paid over to him, but Thurs
ton found that negro-catching was not
quite so easy matter. and did not fulfil
his promise.
The colored people here concluded
that they had bothered them long enough,
to give them a sound whipping and send
them back to Missouri. So on Friday
night one of their number, whom Cal
vert and Bagsby had often tried to bride,
went out to walk with them, and conduct
ed them down to Buffalo street, where
some fifteen stout gentlemen from Africa
awaited them. Mr.. Calvert was armed
with pistol, and on finding himself in
rather dangerous company, drew it and
attempted to shoot one of his assailants.--
He was Immediately knocked down and
delivered over to the tender mercies of
a two-fsted negro, who gave him sound
dressing, while his comrade was treated
in the same manner. They were then set
upon their feet and told to run for their
lives, which they did in an excellent
style.
They left for home yesterday morning,
without their "niggers, having expend-
ed two months time and two or three
hundred dollars in search of them. and
armed all the time with writ from the
United States Court for their apprehen-
sion, and covered all over with the piano.

immigration from the East,

The two eastern roads have increased
their travel most wonderfully of late
The extreme cold weather and backward
season. it was thought, would put off the
expected immigration from the eastern
and northern States until April, at least.
But this has proved an erroneous idea
The drift has already commenced. and
even thus early the roads are finding al
most as much upon their hands as they
have the facilities for doing. No one
who has not stationed himself within a
week past at one or the other of the de-
pots can form any correct idea of the
vast amount of travel now coming west
ward. And what is peculiar as well as
the most cheering fact in connection with
it is. that it is mainly an immigration for
permanent settlement Yesterday fore
noon, for example. we were at the depot
OF the Southern Michigan road when a
tram arrived consisting of ten list class
and one Cd class passenger cars contain
ing nee Aaadred passengers. On inaui-
~ we learned that nearly the whole of
them consisted offamilies who have come
west to settle. Many of them would stop

Counter Loungers.

Young men who spend their leisure
hours in bar-rooms and on corners of
streets, have no appreciation of the
choice pleasures to be derived from read
ing, or they would quickly desert their
posts of dishonor, and devote their idle
hours to study. OF all the amusements
that can possibly be imagined for the
working man, after daily toll, or in the
intervals, there is nothing like book or
newspaper. 1t calls for no bodily exer-
ton, of which he has already had enough
perhaps toe much. 1t relieves his
home of dullness; nay it accompanies
him to his next days work, and gives
him something to think of besides the
mere mechanical drudgery of his every
day occupation; something he can enjoy
when absent, and look forward to with
much pleasure. II we were to pray for
a taste which would stand oy US under
every variety of circumstances, and be
source of happiness and cheerfulness 20
US through life, and a shield TO us against
all It's ills, however things might go
amiss and the world frown on US. it
would be for taste of reading.

The Election in Kansas.

=
Our minds are already made up as to
the result of the election tomorrow in
Kansas. The Pro-Slavery party will be
triumphant, We presume in nearly every
Precinct. Should the Pro- Slavery party
fail in this contest it viii not be because
Missouri has not done her duty to aid
friends. 1t is safe calculation tina. two
thousand squatters have passed over into
the promised land from this State, with
in the past four days, and taking claims,
and become bona tide residents. Many
of them had claims prior TO this time, land
have Only gone over to possess them,
others will secure themselves like claims
and We trust will remain on them. We
apprehend this election will teach the
abolition Emigrant Aid Societies a
lesson they will not soon. forget. That
the South can colonize new territory as
rapidly as they can, and. probably with
less expense. Although We regret that
the necessities of the case should compel
our citizens to resort to like means. with
our enemies, 10 accomplish so much de-
sired an object, we nevertheless believe
the old adage to be correct. "That il
you would whip the devil you must fight
him with fire." As soon as the result of
the election is known, We expect, those
poor deluded beings who have been in
duced to come to that country under the
auspices of those ''aid societies" will re-
turn TO their homes and workshops, fully
satisfied with the result of their efforts to
abolitionizc Kansas, resolved in future
not to attempt TO force measures of policy
upon people who deem themselves COM
petent to manage their own affairs in
their own way West0n Reporter,
