The Kinney Expedition.

We observe by an advertisement in another
column Of the Sun, that Col. Kinney's Mica
rague Expedition has not been exploded b.
the prosecution or persecution to which the
Colonel has been exposed. On the contrary
the enterprise, if delayed by the unwarranted
hostility shown to it in some official quar-
tiers, has won new friends through the great
publicity it has acquired, and the confidence
in its legality which the discussion has estab-
lished.
Indeed it is a most preposterous assump.
ton that Americans may not associate to emf
crate to places beyond the territory of the
United States. Ii is their right TO emigrate
either singly, or in dozens, in tens or in hun.
dreds as they may think most convenient, eco
nomical, or promotive to their interests; and
il is also their right to charter a ship to carry
them To their destination as it is 10 take sep
arate passages in any OF our steam or packe
lines, or in transient vessels. What they can
not legally do is, to begin, set on foot, OF or.
ganize expeditions, on United States soil, tC
be carried ON from thence against any State
or Government with which the United State:
is at peace.
Citizens may depart with or without con
cert with or without the ordinary arms fo
personal protection, provided the concert ex
tends merely 10 voluntary association, and
the emigration is not of the nature ola hos
tile invasion, to be carried on by reinforce
ments and supplies drawn from this country
Our Government has nothing to do with the
possible, or even proJd5le forms the emigration
may assume after it arrives at its destination
but only with the form or forms it may as
sumo before departure.-M y. San.

Roch ester Flag.

The first number of this paper, since the
occupancy of its editorial chair by the present
proprietor, JoHN II. SCOTT, is now upon our
table. The paper, from that of a neutral
journal, has come out under Democratic colors
and, in its editorial management, displays
decided talent and industry.
We hail the advent of the Flag as a ban
ner emblazoned with the bold principles of
Democracy, as an suspicious omen to our
party in Fulton county and the Ninth Con-
gressional District. The Opposition, in days
past have forestalled us there by the excess
siye number of their incendiary publications
As consequence-we say as consequence,
for upon the tone of the public press depends
the morality of the public sentiment-as a
consequence, the district has been dishonored
by the election to a seat in our National Con-
gress, If the most consummate demagogue,
built on small scale, that Indiana can shame
herself with ever having produced.
Let the true men of the North support libe-
rally, not only the Flag, but every paper a.
mong them which fearlessly espouses the cause
Of Democracy, and boldly defends the Consti
tuition of the Union; and the fetid breath of
Know Nethingism, issuing from dark and
subteranean dens, will fail to infect with po-
ltical heresy and bigot prescription, the
young and unsuspecting devotees of principle
AS the niasmas of our boys and quagmires
may enter into our lungs and mix with and
corrupt our blood, where no neutralizins ele-
ment is administered, so the putriscent atmos-
phere which arises unseen from the dank
ghoul-haunted cavems Of the secret political
conspirators in our midst, may, if not closely
guarded against, insinuate itself lurkingly
upon rs, and with it bring its ever accompa-
nying mental and moral leprosy. To be safe
we must keep our Sentinel on the watch.
tower, our Flag at the mast-head-where all
who run may read, and all who read may
know and feel the virtue of truth and the
Justice Of Democracy.

Coast Survey.

We have been furnished by the kindness
of Professor A. d. BAcnE with his report of
the United States Coast Survey, for 1858.
Tho lahors Of Professor BAcHE and of
Lieutenant MAuRY, have been, in the iudg-
mcnt Of those competent TO express an opin-
ION con- the subject of great value TO nautical
science The members of the Coast Survey
arc constantly engaged in taking soundings,
exploring harbors. searching and deciding on
suitable sites for lighthouses, surveying the
coast aud doing many other useful things
During tho year 1853 there was made some
exploration Of the form of the ocean bottom.
This exploration was made by the carrying
of sounjings for some two hundred miles.
southeast from Charleston, directly on the
coast, and the finding Of soundings, after crpss-
ing the Gulf Stream from ~. Simons (coast
of Goorgia) and st. Augustine (Florida.)
The character Of the bottom was very IN
tcrcstng, ranges of mountains and hills, with
general trend resembling that of the coast,
and with heights and bases like those above
the water in the far Interior. On the Charles
ton section, Lieutenant MAFFIr struck
soundings in three hundred fathoms, then at
eleven miles in six hundred and again at
twelve miles, in three hundred and seventy
fathoms The first and second of these
soundings represent mountain eighteen hum
dred feet in height and eleven miles in base
on the on'-shore and very steep on the in
shore side.
The observations of the Survey have, also,
clearly established the existence of polar
current below the Gulf stream, and its prox-
unity to the shore where the depth permits
even when the surface water is quite warm.
They further render it very probable, that
there are counter-cunents corresponding %
the cold streaks in the Gulf stream, which, il
established, must be useful in navigation
The bottom of the sea, fourteen miles from
Cape Florida, five hundred and fifty fathom>
in depth, was at the temperature Of 40 de-
grces FalverJ.eit, while the air above wa.
81 degrees Fahrenheit
temperature, only six degrees above the
freezing point of fresh water, was found a
one thousand and fifty fathoms in depth
about eighty miles east of Cape CanaUeral.
There is, also, much interesting matter
about tides, climates, longitude, &c, &c.
making the Report highly acceptable to mel
of science, and eminently creditable to the
distinguished gentleman who presides ovel
the Survey.

of information

and he may possibly be able to bid oil what
ever more prairie is required at the same
price.
The first settlers generally put up hewed
log houses, log stables aud set mp low posts
for sheds, covered with prairie hay.
The winters are generally so mild that cat
tie can be kept on hay during the cold weather,
letting them run out in the sheltered groves
and bottom.
Furniture, merchandse--all the necessary
outfits for settlers--can be had at Parksville,
Mo, on as reasonable terms as at ST. Louis OF
the East, allowing for cost of transportation,
&c.
Ia regard to stock, cows will cost from Sl2
to $25 each oxen, $50 TO SO per yoke;
horses, SO to 500; sheep, 81 TO Sle0 per
head, but they are mostly of the common
coarse wool kind

valley at the dairy business. Fort Riley af-
lords fine retail market for those commodi-
ties, so also, do the steamboats, and towns on

the best sites in the world for dairy farms.
We advise all men to keep away from
Kansas. unless they are ready to face starya-
ton and every horror.

The following Circular was addressed by

CIRCULAR.

You are hereby requested not 10 make any additional
contracts the draining aud ditchiag OF lands In your

Department that funds have been provided for the pay
mcut q the same.
You viii please advise the Treasurer OF STATE what
sum Of money Il will take paw the present
ing contracts in yOar county. when completed.
This course has been rendered imperative upon the
officers Of State, from the fact that The State has used

fore he revenue Of ls55 Is solicited and from the fact

JOSEPH A. Whom. osser.s,.
". Y. NOFSINGER, Treassrer Of state.
The object Of the above circular was to
suspend the Swamp Land ditching for the
present. for the reason, that there were no
funds in the Treasury to pay for the same
Ii WAS not the intention to abandon the ditch
ing of those wet lands, but, Oh the contrary,
u renew the work, as sOon as the State Is
able, from her revenues u reimburse the
Swamp Land monies, which she used during
the last year to supply deficiencies in her
1 general fund. Ii will be impossible to do it
from the incoming revenues of this year, Tor
the reason that the levy was no, sufficient TO
meet the interest on the public debt, and paw
the ordirary expenses Of the government
much less to produce a surplus for other pur-
poses
Ii deficiency occurs in the general fund
with levy Of twenty cents on the hundred
dollars during a time Of good crops and a
general prosperity, how could a surplus be
produced with a levy Of only fifteen cents on
the hundred dollars in year of unparalleled
short croIs and unusual pecuniary embarass-
aent ..
Money could only be supplied At this lime
for ditehing, by using the revenues collected
and needed to pay the expenses of the State,
and the interest on the public debt. The
State officers have advised me to pay, il pos
sible, the interest on the public debt. This
| will do at all hazards. | have already
made arrangements and paid for eastern OK
change enough for the July interest Moth
ing could he more important to our prosper
ty at home, or onr credit abroad, than the
prompt payment Of this interest | trust
however, that an advantage will result from
the unavoidable, but temporary arrest of the
swamp land ditching. Many Of the bitches
we're made by those wholly unacquainted
with that kind of business, and time will be
necessary to prove whether the bitches thus
made will answer the purpose. Therefore,
when the work is again resumed. it is reason
able TO suppose it will be conducted with
more Judgment and economy.

Uniformity of Currency and of Weights
and Measures throughout the World.


and Measures throughout the World.
Philosophers have often specuIated on
,i,iUersal language, a most. desirable, but not
very practicable thing. Miss EDGEwoRTH, if
we recollect Alright, makes it, in her admirable
story of 81 Patronage" a subject Of interest to
Mr. PERCY, and the plot is partly dependent
on the reconcile knowledge he has acquired
in his researches. The next best thing to a
universal language is a uniform system Of
weights, measures and money. The value OF
such a scheme did not escape the all-embra-
cling genius of NAPOLEON. 1t was frequent
topic of meditation with him, and his plans
would undoubtedly have been accomplished
but for the disasters Of his career What he
conceived as a sort of recompense for war and
general dictatorship in Europe, the present
age may execute by peaceable means. We
heartily endorse the following from the New
York Tribune:
That is most admirable proposition which
has been introduced in the British Parliament
to hold Congress of all nations, for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon common system OF
money, weights and measures There is no
good reason for the present universal discord
in these respects. The affairs of the world
would be transacted with infinitely gieater
ease and benefit il the measures of value and
of quantity were uniform in all Countries
Now, the traveller from the United States
must begin by converting his American
money into sterling for England, then into
francs for France, next into thalers and forms
for Germany, and so on, losing something, OF
course, at every change. So too you may buy
merchandise by one kind of measure at Mos
COW, another at Vienna, another at Paris, and
fourth at London. All this is quite absurd
and without the least benefit, either personal
or patriotic, to any individual or nation except
the money changers and middle-men. In
deed, it seems preposterous to talk of the age
as intelligent in which such rude elemen-
tary form of international disunity is needless
