BeA. The old grannies who have command
of the English troops have been lately honored
with new titles, and decorated with flaming
ribands by their grateful Queen.
Generals Combermere, Earl Stafford, and
Viscount Hardinge, have been made field mar

Marshal Pelissier has received the decora-

Queen, and his Majesty the Emperor Of the

MISREPRESENTATION OF THE PRO-
SLAVERY PARTY IN KANSAS.

Since the settlement Of Kansas has become
the question Of the day, we have frequently re.
ferred to the fact that every newspaper in the
interest Of the Abolition party is busy in mis-.
representing and eliminating the proslavery
party in that Territory, and in landing to the
skies the Emigrant Aid Society emissares
The former are represented as roaring lions,
going about seeking whom they may devour;
the latter as innocent lambs, chased, harassed,
and destroyed. Crimes that have never been
committed, outrages and acts Of violence that
have had no existence, are daily imputed by
the Abolitionists TO the proslavery party Of
Kansas. 1t makes but little difference with
these unscrupulous prints and their unscrupu-
lous correspondents, whether the accounts they
publish are true or false. 1t is sufficient for
them to know that they will have the effect Of
creating a prejudice against the gallant men
in the new Territory who are exerting them.
selves to strangle the Abolition party that was
sent out to conquer them.
However, knowing abolitionism as we do,
we are not surprised at the misrepresentation
10 which we allude. But we have been much
surprised and deeply chagrined to find that
some Of the Southern papers are in the con.
slant habit of republishing in their columns all
the abuse and misrepresentation which they
can CLEAN from abolition journals. What they
mean by so doing, we are at loss to under.
stand. Surely they do not believe the stories
OF the willy and persistent enemy. II is still
more unlikely that they intend TO rebuke and
assail the only party in the new Territory
that maintains the supremacy Of the Consti-
tuition and the rights of the States. II must
be done heedlessly. 1t we're better not done at
all. No doubt the Abolitionists laugh among
themselves at the ndiscretion and stupidity Of
those Southern Editors who thus fall into the
trap that has been set for them, and aid in dis
seminating at the South the caumnies that
have been Gown broadcast over the North
Far be it from us to claim for pro slavery
man in Kansas, who commits crime, exemps
ton from punishment Far be it from US TO
say that such crime should not find place
in the Southern Press. II is the duty Of the
press to rebuke crime wherever il rears its
head, and thus aid in preserving correct pub
lie sentiment. But we have seen and heard
enough to convince US that most Of the stories
about the outrages committed by pro-slavery
men in Kansas are nothing but abolition in
ventions. What is remarkable, and il is
striking feature in abolition character, they
never take back or correct any q their stories,
however false they may know them to be.
They seem to think that falsehood we'll stuck
to is as good as the truth.

The new ism-Free Love-ism--which has
bat recently come to light--has, il seems been
growing in seclusion and secrecy for the last
two years. Originating in New York, that hot
bed OF corrupt isms, it planted itself in the new
State Of Wisconsin, where il has a fourshiug
colony. Worse, so far as we understand it,
than Mormorism or Mahometanism, it yet
bears resemblance to both. 1t appeals to
the passions of the young by holding out the
prospect OF unlimited indulgence, teaching the
while that such indulgence instead of being
sinful is but part of mans duty. How sue.
cessful it has been in enticing the young of
both sexes, is plainly shown by the long ac-
counts ofthe meetings Of these societies, which
have lately appeared in the New York papers.
Among the visiterS to these free love gather,
ings were young women of beauty and cutiva-
ton, both married and single. Their princi-
Piles undermine by the cunning teachings of the
pernicious founders Of the order, their imagi.
nations interested by the new and poetical
theory OF "passiona attraction" and their pas
sons stimulated by an unusual freedom of in
tercourse, they recklessly threw aside all that
they had learned Of morality religion, and de.
cency, and cast themselves pell nell into that
den Of vice, where gross appetite is called
heavenly inspiration, and the sacred ties of
matrimonial life are laughed to scorn.
What an infinite amount Of corruption and
decentralization may be caused by such doe
| trines, such assemblies, aud such practices,
may be readily guessed All such orders or
societies are but the natural offspring of that
false philosophy of which the New York I%i-
buae is the chief expounder and advocate.
This 'Free Lovesm" is but another phase OF
Woman rightism, Abolitionsm, and the vari-
Gus other isms that have sprung from dstem-
pered minds.
If the doctrines and practices Of this society
be such as they are represented, we can i'm.
agine nothing more perncous and fatal to the
morals Of the young The law should inter
pose and break up their meetings. We are
glad to see that the police of New York have
taken the matter in hand, and that this Free
Love Society" is about to be crushed.

The WILL OF Mr.. BoDIsco.-In the Orpans'
Court on Saturday last Mrs. Bodisco and her
brother, Brook Williams, entered bond in
100000 as administrators Of the will of Count
Bodisco, the late Russian Minister, SO far as
relates to his personal estate. Judge Purcell
decided that the will, only bearing his signature
and not having been witnessed according to
the statute, is not sufficient to pass the real
estate, which, however, goes by descent to the
widow and children. All the property Of the
deceased Minister in this country is supposed
to amount to 100000.

kinety-nine Years Imprisonment.

The Toronto (Canada) Patriot tells the fol-
lowing tough yarn:
Towards the middle Of the last century, an
individual of " years Of age, was condemned
to the hulks for life. 1t was then the custom,
or at any rate it was the humor of the court
to pronounce the sentence of the term of 80
years The criminal has undergone this some.

ago was set at liberty. He is bent double, and
bowed almost to the knees. He attans next
month his l2lst birth day."

1t Is conceded that, in republic, the coun.
try's best defence is in the arms &C her citizens
and not in those Of bireling soldiery. The
battles Of the Revolution, aud the conflicts
previous and subsequent to that great epoch in
our eyentful history, attest that the volunteer
militia are equal to any emergency that may
demand the exhibition and the practice Of the
sternest virtues necessary for the defence Of
country and OF kindred. The liberty nsepa
rably connected with a wise administration Of
the government will, 50 long AZ our glorious
institutions exist, always fluid brave and self
sacrificing defenders.
Hence, we look with pride on the public
displays Of the citizen militia-vounteers, for
there is no law in this District which com
pels them to partAe. OF their free viii, at
their own expense, with the exception Of the
arms, they provide their uniforms, and dis.

FroHr BETWEEN RArrLrsSAKr AND Hoe

FIGHT BETWEEN RATTLEsYAKE AND Hoes.
The State Rights Democrat, published at
Elba, Alabama, narrates the following:
1.-TWO gentlemen were lately in the woods,
when their attention was attracted by an up
roarious noise of hops. Thinking that some.
thing uncommon was to pay, they repaired to
the spot, and found that the hogs had been in
n fight with a very large rattesnake. The
fight, from appearances, had been long and
desperate one. The snake was torn to pieces
three hogs dead, and fourth dying. They say
that, as the last hogs would groan, the snake
would raise his head, being unable to do any.
thing else. The snake and fourth hog soon
died. They report that for thirty yards around

was six and a half or seven feet long. The
hogs, in the fight, had demolished all the rattes
except two"

DAvrNP01T, THIN AND now!

Walking home to tea few evenings
since aud being jossled several tines by the
passing crowd and nearly run over by teams
in crossing street, our thoughts began TO
retrograde along the path of time we had
trod, until they broughtupin view OF scenes
as they were depicted here some halt do.-
en- years ago, and we speculated upon the
wondrous change that had transpred with
in that brief period. We thought Of our
auiei and unostentasious town, little ham
let, as il were. clustered at the foot ola hill
and the grea. Mississippi rolling past its vol
ume OF waters, conveying upon its bosom
to southern mart the few agricultural pro-
ducts of cur rich, though thiniy settled soil.
We thought of the familiar faces encoun-
tered in our daily walks, many ofwhlch have
passed away never to be recalled but upon
memory page, and Of the few. strange ones
that greeted US in days rambie; and OF
the teams that passed US, recognizable as
the persons Of their drivers. And then we
thought Of the present; of the busting,
busy, noisy city around US, streets filled
with teams and strange faces at every step;
spacious buildings and extensive stores. =
We could scarcely realize, that the half
dozen years which SO swiftly have sped
away were pregnant with SO many changes.
Those east Of us, who are accustomed to
read the newspapers, become so familiar
with paragraphs touching the progress OF
the Great West, that they do not attach
shat Importance to them which they really
merit, but have learned to regard them as
distorted descriptions of a new country put
forth to facilitate its settlement. Such is
not the case, and with the rapid and easy
Accommodation we are pleased to learn
that the scales are dropping from their eyes
and prejudice from their minds, and Will
few doubt, many have been led to come and
Judge for themselves. And never yet have
we met with that man, even though he may
have been a constant reader of the Daven-
port Gazette who has expressed hin self
otherwise than agreeably disappointed; and
in more than one-half the cases, those who
came here with simply the intention of see
ing the Western country, have gone back
with the determination of making it their
abode.
Thers is something so fascinating in pro-
gress, that the veriest old fogy, in broad
view Of it, strikes his colors without a blow
To tls enterprising man it is SO attractive,
that nought but the most uncomfortable
circumstances, Can induce him to Withstand
the temptation Of embarking his vigor where
so much congeniality is apparent. While
there are few of the former, very many OF
the latter class End their way to the West
and mingling their energies with cognate
spirits, aid to stamp upon its every feature
the impress of their minds.
