is in response to an invitation TO attend the
recent celebration of the anniversary of the
battle of Kings Mountain in North Carroll
ma:
"PLArTE CRY, Mo-, Sept. II.
Gentlemen:-Y our letter Of invitation,
requesting my attendance at the celebration
of the battle of Kings Mountain, has been
received. 1t will be altogether inconveni-
ent for me to be present on that occasion.-
/ have certain duties, both private and pub
lic to discharge at home. The battle Of
Kings Mountain was fought by the Wings
under the lead of Campbell Mcdowell
Shelby Sewer, and Williams, against the
Tories under the gallant Ferguson. We
have similar foe TO encounter in Kansas
on the first Monday in October next. The
border ruffians, such as fought with Nc
Dowel, Shelby, &c., on the one hand, and
the Aboltionists, such men as fought with
Ferguson, on the other. We (the border
ruffians' )have the whole power ofthe North
ern States to contend WITH single handed
and alone, without assistance and almost
without sympathy from any quarter; yet we
are undismayed. Thus far we have been
victorious, and with the help of God we
will still continue to conquer.
Gentlemen. thank you for the kind ex-
preston in the concluding paragraph Of
your letter-'Three cheers for Atchison and
Kansas / have read this paragraph to
sundry of the border ruffians' and their eyes
sparkle; their arms are nerved. We have
been acting on the defensive altogether; the
contest with us is one of life and death, and
it will be SO with You and your institution if
we fail. Atchison, Stringfellow and the
border ruhians' Of Missouri, fill column
of each Abolition paper published in the
North; abuse most foul and falsehood I'M
blushing are poured out upon us, and yet
we Nave no advocate in the Southern press;
and yet we receive no assistance from the
Southern States. But the time will shortly
come when that assistance must and will be
rendered the stake the border ruiIians' are
playing for is mighty one. II Kansas is
hbolitionized, Missouri ceases to be q Slave
State, New Mexico becomes a Free State;
California remains Free State; but if we
secure Kansas as Slave State, Missouri is
secure; New Mexico and Southern Caifor-
MIA, if not all of it, becomes Slave State; in
a word, the prosperity or the ruin of the
whole, South depends on the Kansas strug-
gle. Your obedient servant,
d. r. ATcHIsox.

TEE ROPE WALK.
ny HENRY w, LoNGFELLow.

In that building, long and low,
With its windows all arrow,
Like the portfolios of hulk,
Human spiders spin and spin,
Backward down their threads so thin,
Dropping, each, o hempen bulk.
At the end, an open door;
Squares of sunshine on the floor
Light the long and dusty lane;
And the whirring of wheel,
Dull and drowsy, makes me feel
All its spokes are in my brain.
As the spinners to the end
Downward go and reascend,
Clean the long threads in the sun;
While within this brain of mine
Cobwebs brighter and more fine,
By the busy wheel are spun.
Two fair maidens in a swing,
Like white doves upon the wing,
First before my vision pass;
Laughing, as their gentle hands
Closely clasp the twisted strands,
AT their shadow on the grass,
Then booth CT mountebanks,
With its smell of tan and planks,
And girl poised high in air
On cord, in spangled dress,
With faded loveliness,
And weary look Of care.
Then homestead among farms,
And woman with bare arms
Drawing water from a well;
As the bucket mounts apace
With it mounts her own fair face,
As at some magician's spell.
Then an old man in tower,
Ringing loud the noontide hour,
While the rope coils round and round
Like serpent at his feet,
And again in swift retreat
Almost lifts him from the ground.
Then within prison yard,
Faces fixed, and stern and hard,
Laughter and indecent lnirth;
All! it is the gallows-tree;
Breath OF Christian charity,
Blow, and sweep it from the earth.
Then school-boy with his kite,
Cleaning in sky Of light,
And an eager, upward look;
Steeds pursued through lane and field
Fowlers with their snares concealed,
And an angler by a brooS.
Ships rejoicing in the breeze,
Wrecks that float DER unknown seas,
Anchors dragged thro' iaithless sand
Sea-fog drifting overhead,
And with lessening line and lead
Sailors feeling for the land.
All these Scenes do I behold,
These'and many left untold,
In that building long and low;
While the wheels go round and round
With drowsy, dreamy sound,
~ And the spinners backward go.

TITO those journals which have been anx

refer the article in the adjoining column, emit

the reflection that March and its liabilities have

man is alone the sorrowing creature of all Gods

season affect him not, except by the contrast
with his own dark and brooding bosom, the
joyousness of the outward world makes still
gloomier the mind which natural tendencies or
untoward circumstances had thus created. But

The PLANTING Interest.

From observation, and from what we can
learn from others. it appears to US that the en-.
suing season, from the great want of rain that
has been experienced thus far, that the sugar
and planting interests generally throughout
the State will suffer exceedingly the present
year, BY our exchanges, we perceive that the
extraordinary drought which has prevailed here
tor the last four or five months has been gen.
erai throughout the State. But not only in
this State has the want of rain been confined.
In other parts of the South and in the West
q similar misfortune has prevailed. This as.
aures US that provisions the coming year will
be still higher than they have yet been, and
every surety also, from the diminished crop,
that sugar will advance in price next season.
But we must hope for the best under all circum.
stances, aud sticking to the rule Of economy,
to weather the financial storm. which
threatens SO imminently to wreck everypsusi-
locality in the State.

fifteen cents, if made by machinery. 1t lights

little smoke, and but very little dust or cinders.
What little cinders are left, is good for clean.

1t is easily to be understood that an orna.
ment so capable of variety in form and ma
terial, would give birth to the mania for form
ing collections. A financier, well known un~
der the restoration, enjoyed the reputation of
the greatest amateur in breast pins of the cap.
ital. His charming wife-who might have
been taken for his daughter-was most atten-
tive in her epdeavors to satisfy his mania, and
not only on ordinary occasions, but at all times,
was glad to seize opportunities for presenting
him with a new breast pin, utterly unlhe any
he possessed. More, she carried her attention
so far as to insist upon reserving to herself
as her exclusive privilege, the care of selecting
and placing the pin to be worn every morn
ing. As the reader may naturally and readily
understand, the husband was delighted to be
the object Of attentions so delicate and con.
slant. But, oh! feminine perfidy! must the
mystery be revealed! Each specimen of this
rich collection had a private Specification, un-
derstood by Madame and a young gentleman
whom her husband visited daily. A solitary
brilliant, emblem Of the shepherds star meant,
81 shall be alone this evening" A cameo,
with the head of Medusa, carved upon it, meant,
my husband will be at home" A medallion
full of hair, u have the head ACHE" There
was a breast pin for each theatre, for each
walk, for each friends house, at which a meet
ing could be arranged.
All the phases of an intrigue had their gol-
den representative, and thus, ornamented with
secret bieroglyphics. which he was proud to
carry about with him, the poor fnancier was
the faithful but unconscious messenger in the
t~reasons Of which he was the victim.-His-
tory Of the Crauat.

a bad cold, nor did any one deem It advisable
to let him understand that he knew to the cir
cumstances themselves, although they never
could exactly explain it; and it was not until
after Logwood left the bar, that the mystery
was solved to the widow. He always believed
the lady was concerned in the plot in some
way,-and his opinion of the fair sex, and of
widows in particular, underwent a great change
in consequence. He meyer called upon her
again, but the next day after the evening ofhis
last visit he gave his white shirts to an Indian,
and from that day to this has Fever troubled
himself about matrimony.-Golden Era.

UIt is stated that almost every ship which
leaves New York for England takes out from
80 to so passengers, principally Irish, and it is
very certain, that, emigration to this country
from Ireland, has considerably decreased
Whether Know Nothingism has any thing to
do with the change, we cannot say,-it seems,
however, to be the general impression that, it
is caused mainly by the operation of the "En-
numbered Estate" bill, by which the condition
of Irish lands is improved, and to the increased
demand for labor. If the law now before par
lament, with reference to passenger ships, be
sanctioned, it is presumed that emigration to
this country will be still further checked.

The Kinney Expedition seems to be aban.
doned for the present. Its military feature
was established to Secretary Marcy's satis-
faction, by a commission issued by the gallant
Colonel to one of his ~subordinates. A COW
Of this commission the Secretary of State very
Significantly served upon the directors of the
enterprise, and a change of front was the con =
sequence. The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia North American says that an
agent in the employment of the company will
repair to the territory in March next, with in.
structions to settle the question of title on the
best terms with all concerned.
