SATURDAY, Dec. 1-P. n.
The financial news by the Atlantic was considered
in the Stock circles unfavorable, and in conse-
quepce the market TO- day was dull and lower. The
increased demand for meney in London, the fall in
Conso the iise in beadstus, and the apprehensions
of further advance in the rates Of interest by the
Bank all tended to excite expectations of bad news
by the next steamer, and the holders of Erie, Read
ing, Cumberland, &c, fastened TO get lid Of their
Stocks. Mr.. Champion says that all the United States
tIemble when Liverpool merchant fails, and he is
not far wrong At the Second Board the feeling was
little better but the market at the close was heavy
and dull. The fell in Erie during the day was Fl y

plenty and could be lent without interest. Central

Another Pro-Slaverv Victory.

Below will be found returns of the cleo
ton held In the Leavenworth District on
Tuesday last. 1t will be remembered that
this election was ordered by Governor
Reeder to fill vacancies which he declared
to exist. The pro-slavery party, as gen.
eral thing, kept away from the polls, while
the abolitionists rallied their forces, and
brought ought their last man.
We presume other districts in which
elections were ordered, will give to the
abolition candidates all the votes cast, as
it was the intention of the pro-slavery par
ty to pay no attention whatever to this
election. The first three gentlemen are
the same persons chosen on the regular
pro-slavery ticket in March last.

The Mormons.

From the best information we can gath
er, Atchison is settled upon by these peo-
pie, as the permanent starting point for all
future emigration. This has been decided
upon, after thoroughly canvassing the va
rious advantages; and experienced travel
ers have declared, that no point on the
Missouri river, from St. Louis to Council
Bluffs, offers more inducements to the en-
igrant than the city of Atchison.
During the stay of the Mormons in our
midst, they have conducted themselves in
such manner as to entitle them to credit.
We have the first dispute or quarrel to hear
of, and no bad feelings between the citi-
zens and these people have taken place.
Considering the prejudices of the Missou-
rians and Mormons against each other.
this result could have hardly been expected.
But the good behavior on the part of the
Mormons, and their strict attention to their
own business, gave no room for misunder-
standing, and we verify believe that much
better feeling exists between them, than
when first they landed. The time has now
come when they will be compelled to take
up the line of march westward. With
the fine teams they own, and the excellent
water and grass that abound in this vicin.
ity, we predict for them safe and pros.
porous trip to the land they claim to be
the "promised." Following the Mormon
emigration, will be number of Salt Lake
merchants. Their stock is now on oul
prairies, and their goods between this place
and st. Louis. The total number of en-
igrants starting from Atchison this Spring
must be in the neighborhood of FIVE thous.
and.
Squatter sovereign., 1855-05-29

s% Atchison has been settled nearly
one year. and after the first six months of
Its existence, there never has been less
than two hundred citizens, and not one
death has occurred among them. This
speaks well for our town. When our peo-
pie get tired of living, and wish to 8. shut
he off this mortal COLL they visit Leayen-
worth City, where death, that g grim mon
ster." is ready to cut them down. A man
that lives in this place, is fool to get his
life insured.

PATTERSON, OF THE LUMINARY.-The
mobbing of the Luminary office In Park
vile, in which this second Barnum was en-
gagged, was perfect god-send to the spec
ulative Patterson. We learn that he has
taken advantage of this streak of good
luck, and gone to lecturing in the eastern
cities, ala "nigger Burns" It isthought
he will make quite "raise" by his lee
lures. While in Missouri, we believe, he
engaged in every thing where chance of
making money presented itself. He fol-
lowed music-teaching, singing, printing,
editing, and also acted as agent for the N.
+. Emigrant Aid Society. He kept a
warehouse and done commission bust
ness; got in debt, and acted the rascal
changed from Turk to Russian, and back
again to Turk. In fact, he was a perfect
weathercock- changed with every breeze
that blew him a dollar, and finally met
with the fate Of all weathercocks- blown
off the pivot by strong gale"

Missouri RIvER.-The oldest inhab-
liant has not lived long enough to remem-
Der seeing the Missouri river disgorSe
such pitiful allowance of water as she
has favored us with this season. We are
told by mountaineers that where the SHOWS
in the mountains are usually from 10 to Is
feet deep at this season of the year, but
little can now be seen. Unless we are
favored with abundant rains, we shall prob
ably be subjected TO enormous freights du-
ring the entire summer. Boats that charge
two dollars per hundred pounds, do no,
make as much as when they could Toad
at twenty-five cents.

Rows in the Navy.

The Secretary of the Navy under au-
thority given by Congress, is taking meas
ures TO receive boys, as apprentices into
the Navy.
No boy under fourteen will be received,
and he is to serve until twenty-one. On
enlistment the boys are to be sent to the
most convenient receiving ship and there
clothed and instructed in seaman's duties,
they are not to be permitted to attend as
servants or walters on officers, etc. Strict
special instructions are given as to their
professional and elementary English ed
ucatien. On enlistment they are to be "a
ted as second or third class, and higher as
they may deserve. The pay of third class
to be So per month; of second class, SO !;
of the first SO; one fourth of the boys
pay to be retained until the expiration of
his apprentiship; the rest. as may be re-
quired, to be expended for his clothing
and necessaries. At the expiration of
apprentiship,to be payed their reserved pay
and, if approved, to receive a parchment
certificate, and to have preference for pro-
milton over all others. This appears to be
an excellent mode ofsupplying intelligent.
educated and efficient seamen, and the re-
suit must be beneficial to the service.

E@ We were called upon the other
day by an " old codger" from Ohio, who
wanted TO have letter printed. He was
surprised that the expense of so small a
Job should amount to more than a dime,
ard remarked, that he could buy book
for ten cents, with twice the reading he
wanted in his letter. He left the office,
suearing that printers in Kansas were de-
tefapined to extort from the community,
and get rich in a hurry.

E9 The merchants and mechanics of
St. Joseph would find it to their advantage
to advertise in the Squatter Sovereign.
We are daily asked to recommend some
house in that place where supplies of pro-
visions, SIC. can be purchased, and cannot
inform them, as no advertisement from that
place appears IN our columns. A word to
the wise is sufficient.

B@ Goods Of all descriptions can be
bought as cheap in Atchison as in ST. Jo-
seph, Weston, or Parkville, or any of the
Missouri river towns. Our merchants, as
a general thing, have full stocks, and seem
willing to dispose of them at fair rates.
We notice our young friend Blassingame,
of Burnes & Bros. store, has been doing
a heavy retail business during the past
week. 1t is no wonder. Besides being
the cleyerest man in town, he keeps the
cheapest goods.

e@Col. Steptoe is great favorite with

There seems to be fashion in fe-

years ago, sentimental names, of anguish

LET Down The bully editor of the
Kansas Herald has let down completely.
We knew his poetry was nearly exhausted,
and the end to his gassy articles nigh al

admission of its editor that the subscrip-
ton list of the Kansas Herald was consid-
erably under one hundred!

BJ@ Kickapoo City has outstripped its
rival, Leavenworth village, in..business inn

better location, healthier situation, and larg-

safely made, Leavenwcrth City is built on
&c reserved Jands,'' where no white man
can lawfully settle. It is this, we suppose,

THE PoLAR SrAR.-This favorite pack

least one day ahead of her regular time.
She left quantity of freight, and a great
many passengers. No cases of sickness
appeared on board, during the trip up, al
though she was literally crowded with pas
sengers. The Star is always kept clean
and in ''pie order" and every comfort de-
sired by travellers is meted out on board.
We see that our old friend McCrea, for.
merly of the ]. III. Lucas, is an associate
in the office with Mr.. Blossom. We look
upon this as valuable acquisition to the
Polar Star, and one that will be hailed
with pleasure by all her old PATRONS

UNExAMPLED TYRANNY AND OPPREs-

ded some amendments to their already
stringent liquor law, which exceeded in
high-handed tyranny anything ever be-

any other person, shall carry bottle, or
cask, or demijohn of wine, or other liquors,
to gentleman's residence, he is subject
to fine of twenty dollars and costs for
the first offence. For the second offence,
a fine and thirty days imprisonment is the
penalty. If any man carries in his own

sort, 10 be used by him, the party doing SC
is made liable to fine of thirty dollars and
Thirty days Imprisonment.
