COMING EVENTS FoREsHADowED

Iron the Philadelphia Sorih Americana
MoRE TERRITORY.-The twenty ninth
parallel of latitude is named as the next
Southern boundary of the Union. General
Gadsden is said to have been negotiating with
Santa Anna for new cession of territory,
Including all north of that line, when the
progress of the revolution interrupted the
proceedings. or course no one knows how
true this is; but Gen. Gadsden has iody n
,criting home 10 his friends rGgne hints q i'm
portann things going on, tohich SET conjecture
all acog 10 ascertain the precise truth. The
difficulty about the payment of the three
millions of the last indemnity, ard the de-
mand for reparation for Callanan's invasion
and the burning of Piedras Negras, al con
spire to assist this conclusion, and probably
before President Pierce goes oct of office he
will communicate a treaty with fresh de-
mand on our surplus millions. The twenty
ninth parallel would throw into the United
States two-thirds of the Mexican State Of
Sonora and two-fifths of Chihuhua,wth pop
ulation enough to form one of our Statcs-
In such case the new territory would have to
go under political pupage as Territory, or
else New Mexico would have to be admitted
us State A rum0r is afiOat in the newspa-
pers to the effect that Gen. Gadsden has sent
word to Washington that if the balance of
the Mesia indemnity be not paid 10 the
present Government of Mexico not another
foot of territory will be coded to the United
States. Meantime we have various other
projects for acquiring new colonies. Thus
the report is revived that Russia is willing to
sell her American possessions TO us for con-
sideration in MUNICIPALITIES too Arctic mat
ter for the folks at Washington, rs neither
cotton, tobacco, hemp, rice, nor sugar
can be grown up there. Then there is re.
port coming from Europe that Russia has
suggested to Denmark the propriety of set
thing the difficulty between the latter and the
United States by selling to us the Danish
West India Island of st. Thomas, the price
of which, five millions OF dollars, may he ia.
ken also as our consideration for freeing us of
the Sound Dues. st. Thomas is small is
land to the wiudward of Porto Rico, with
population of seven thousand souls. Right
near to il is another small island called Santa
Cruz, also owned by Denmark, with thirty
two thousand inhabitants. For five millions
Of dollars we ought to get both of them. But
st. Thomas is of much importance from its
geographical position, which is such us would
render it formidable position in the hands
of n naval power. 1t hus fine harbor, and

West Indies and the coast of the United

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 9th, 1855.

The lntelligencer of this morning publishes
m account Of the late doings in Kansas,
taken from the Kansas Herald of Freedom,
giving quite different view Of the matter
from the reports already received. This nc.
count says that young black smith, named
Dow, was barbarously murdered without
provoeation, by Coleman and others, who or.
dercd Dow to leave Hickory Point, and as he
turned TO 90 away, fired charge OF buckshot
into his bosom. Coleman fired the shot, and
three of his friends, llargus, Barkley and
Moody, WAGNER, backed him. The citizens
held meeting and appointed committee to
bring the offenders to justice, but Jones, the
sheriff of Douglass county, at the instance OF
two of BOWS murdcrer's arrested Dranon,
the man with whom Dow had boarded, for
security Uf the peace.
While on the way to Lecompton, fifteen OF
Bransons friends rescued him. Jones imme.
diately sent to Gov. Shannon for aid to retain
him, and the Governor promised to send him
ten thousand men, but it seems he can't get
as many hundred.

NIGHr.-Night levels all artificial distinc
tons. The beggar on his pallet of straw
shores rs soundly as the king on his bed o
down. Night-the earthly paradise of tn
slave, the sweet oblivion of the care-worr
soul, the nurse of poetry, of devotion; how
the great painting heart Of society yearns TO
the return Of night and rest! Sleep is God.
special gift to the poor; but for the grea
there is no fixed time forrepose. Quetthe,
have none; and instead of calmly awaiting the
approach of events, they fret, aud repine, nnd
starve sleep, and chide the tardy hours, as il
every Tomorrow were big with the fate Of
some great hereafter. The torrent of events
goes roaring past, keeps eager expectation
constantly on tiptoe and drives tmid sumbcr
away.
There is something strangely beautiful in
the contemplation of night-when the smil.
ing stars seem to do homage to their pale
faced queen, and the clouds float silently
through the tranquil sky, and the wind speaks
in soft whispers, as if fearful of waking the
sleepers. Such is the sweet repose of blame
less conscience. But when the hues of evening
slant dimlY away, when the cheerless curtains
of darkness are drawn, when aerial shadows
loom up and fit along the vaultcd arch, "ike
grim ghosts trailing blackness through the
heavens" -such is the fearful shadow that
hangs over the broken slumbers of Il soul in
which there is no peace.
