Horace Greeley writes the following from
Paris, concerning the attempted assassina-
ton Of the Emperor.
l came into Paris last Saturday at the
hour, and almost the minute, Of the attempt
of an unknown Italian to assassinate the
Emperor. The journals have ha. much ID
say Of the excitement, the indignation, the
enthusiastic loyalty evoked by that crime.
To me it seemed incredible that desperate
attack on the life of the Head of the State
might almost say the State itself, should
cause no more general agitation than this
appeared to do, especially amongs people so
exctable and demonstrarive as the Parisians.
saw no crowds in the streets, and heard Of
none; and if any cried Vive PEmpereur it
was where they felt pretty sure the Emperor
would hear, or at least hear Of their enthusi-
asm. The attempt to kill the Emperor has
not created one half the feeling here that the
shooting Of Bill Poole did in New York, nor
as an effective attempt to take the life of any
one Of the two hundred of the best known
citizens of our emporium would induce.
Except in official or military quarters, the
whole affair has been taken very cody.
heard one anecdote of the outrage, which my
informant related as literal fact, and which
is at least characteristic enough to be so !:
A Frenchman walking in the place de la
Concorde, was met by another who exclaim-
ed in deep agitation, sHave you heard the
news? The Emperor has just boon shot--he
is killed!,' ssServed him right - responded
the other, "Tire la Republique!.' .NoH'
cried another runner from the Avenue Champs
Elysces, she has been fred at. but not killed
he is unhurt.'' 81 am, delighted to hear
it, instantly responded the Republican Of

Some time ago there lived in old Vermont

a part Of his palate and was rare SPECIMEN.
He owned a mill the water to which was
brought some distance through a wooden
fume. One morning an apprentice informed
him that the fume was full Of suckers. Fuller
posted himself at its mouth; placing large
basket to catch the succors in, while the boy
went to the other end to hoist the gate. There
was rush Of many waters,' carrying Fuller,
basket and all, over the overshot wheel and
thirty feet below. All dripping he scrambled

Yesterday morning the Jenny Lind,
Capt. Martin, took large number Of our
guests 70 Nauyoo and Montrose, where
our enterprising neighbors Of Keokuk had
provided free carriages to carry them to
that place and return them in time for the
Boat on her return in the evening. The
Ben Campbell. Capt. Bartlett, took a large
number to Davenport, who will return to
their homes by the r. I. Railroad, the
Superintendent of which had rendered
the courtesy of free pass to all who de-
sired to return that way. And as she
backed out from the levee and passed gay
ly up the river three hearty cheers for
Burlington were given by the departing
throng and answered from the shore. The
Mckee also took down good many that
could not find room on the Lind. The
Stage Company, with commendable public
spirit, furnished number of new coaches
and fine teams which we're put at the dis
posal of the company, and in which many
of our visitors took short excursions into
the surrounding country, long ones, in the
present state Of the roads, being consider
ed impracticable.
In the evening at six o'clock the Jenny
Lind returned to our city in fine style,
having about as many as could find stand
ing room aboard.
In the evening another ball came off at
the Barrel House, and very pleasant and
Joyous reunion seemed the most appropri-
ate mode of finishing up the ceremonies and
festivities of the occasion. This morning
most of our guests bid us adieu. Here
and there, however, one may be seen, intent
on seeing little more Of the Hawk-Eye
State, who has determined to remain a
few days longer.

GBs Yrsss of tgs SOUTH.
MONEY AND AID FOR KANSAS.
From the Eujaw IAla.) Wing.

There are many thousands of men in the
South who can easily give from 500 to $500
to create fund to send emigrants to that Ter
ritory, who will become bona-fde settlers, who
can not only vote for the South, but if necessa-
ry do as much and as good fighting for her in
terests as will, without doubt, secure the adop-
ton of Slavery Constitution. The Abolition
papers say that those fanatics are determined
to make it free soil, and that neither blood nor
treasure will be spared to carry that determine
ton into effect; and although they acknowledge
themselves defeated thus far, by the Missouri
ans and other Southerners who have settled
there, they are making preparations to contest
the matter on the field of blood, instead of the
ballotbox. If this is their wish and determi-
nation, it behooves the Southern people to meet
them on their own terms, and fight the battle
at once and for all, and to see that the men and
means are sent there to make the issue as GER
tainy favorable to the South as is possible.
We see that thirteen persons in Columbus,
Georgia, have pledged themselves to Colonel
James n. Bethune to contribute 500 each to
this cause also several gentlemen in Alabama,
among whom is Representative elect, who
has given $500 to the same cause. This is suf-
fciently indicative of the state of feeling among
us In regard to this matter. The South is be-
ing aroused on this point at least, and appears
to be determined to make it slave State in
spite of all the Reeders and the Pierce Admin
tration and we hope this spirit of resistance to
the encroachments of fanaticism will be kept
warm until our purpose is effected.
Who in Greene county will give 500 for this
cause?

UNC0NsTITUTI0NALITY OF THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE LAW ACKNOWLEDGED.
From the Charleston Mercury.

Of the action of Massachusetts in the abroga-
ton of the Fugitive Slave Law we have no COM
plant to make. 1t was from the first miser-
able illusion; and worse, in fact, for it soas an
infringement upon one of the most cherished
principles of the Constitution, which provides
that fugitives from labor, "upon demand, shall
be delivered up" but gives no power to Con-
gress to act in this affair. The tenth amend
ment to the Constitution provides that "the
powers not delegated to the United States are
reserved to the States or to the people," The
clause above confers no power, but is the naked
declaration of right; and the power, not being
conferred, results to the States as one of the in
cidents of sovereignty too dear to be trusted to
the General Government.
Our Southern members strove for the pas
sage of the law, and strove honestly; but it
shows the evils of our unfortunate condition.
that, in the urgency of our contest with an ag-
gressive adversary. we lose the landmarks of
principle-to obtain an Elusive triumph, we
pressed the Government to assume a power not
conferred by the instrument of its creation, and
to establish precedent by which, in all after
time, it will be authorized to assume whatever
right may have no constitutional organ of en-
forcement; and wearied with so many efforts
to confne the Government to its limits of legit-
innate powers, we are pleased to have assistance
from another quarter; and if the question shall
be determined in her favor, we will sincerely
rejoice in such vindication of the Constitution.

A PATRIOTIC LETTER.

We find the following letter from Hon. Wal
ter Brashear, an old and honored citizen OF
Louisiana, and formerly prominent member
of the Democratic party, in the New Orleans
Crescent of the South. 1t was written in re-
ply to letter from Mr.. Miles Taylor, anti
American candidate for Congress in the New
Orleans district, soliciting the aid of Mr.. Bra
shear in accomplishing the work of doing all
he could to promote the success of the anti.
American party. Mr.. Brashear declines doing
more than to extend the ordinary courtesies
common to friends. He could not do more
Although, remarks the Crescent, the frosts OF
nearly four-score years have settled upon his
head, his intellect is as clear and his heart rs
full of patriotism as they were in the full flush
of vigorous manhood, when hope danced attend

way to a brilliant future, all of which was fully
realized in years of valuable public service, as
the records of the State amply prove.
