The Kansas Enigrant to his Wife.
BY MRS. N. P. HARLOW.


Come. come my love, oh, come to me,
Companion of my heart;
For | have found home for thee,
No more, no more we'll part.
Gene, oh, come to thesunny West,
Where flowers eyerbloom-
For here I've found my dove nest,
Oh. never more Wen roam..
The air is baliny here, and bland,
Perfumed with odors sweet,
And breezes fresh from far upland
Our cottage home will greet;
The hectic flush on thy wan face
Will surely change its hue,
The rose-tint, love, will take its place,
Thine eye deeper blue.
Then haste thee, love. where cheerful song
From feathered warblers sweet,
Without fear, the whole year long,
Thy longing ear shall greet;
Our buildings, true, are not SO grand,
Our tables are not spread
With every dainty of the land,
As where we both were bred.
Not that | prize New England less,
For aye, love her now
As when my feet her soil frs: press'd,
As when we pledged our vow;
But better far love the West,
Her climate is so mild
1t seems 10 me twas His behest
Te look down here and smile.
Together here wen toll, and pray
That Kansas may be free,
That every nook and plain so gay,
Accused may not be-
That southern bonds and bigots' wiles
Touch not this hallowed ground,
But where God now so sweetly smiles
lie never need to frewn.

Now l give the answer of small in
dividual trader to the same question, Mr..
Auguste Archambault, mountain man
Creole French-of twenty years STAN
ding, one of Fremont's men, and to me
personally known. He came to see me
the day before | left st. Louis, and, in
the course of conversation, told me that
he was going out on small trading ex-
pedition-four wagons, five men, one boy
and about $4,000 of Indian goods and
that he was going beyond Fort Laramie
and up to the Sweet Water river
wi ich flows from the South Pass. ]
asked him if he was not afraid of being
killed and robbed by the Indians. He
answered, not at all !; and that he could
go alone to every tribe and actually took
no more men with him than were neces-
sary to drive his wagons. pointed his
attention to the military expedition; but
he said he should not stop for it; that
his wagons were gone, and he should 60
on Immediately. The fact was, he did
not believe it possible that the United
States could make war upon peaceable
Indians, and, considered it certain that
the campaign would end with harmless
march. And this is the way in which
this new Indian war is viewed at st. Louis
by those best qualified to know the truth,
most interested in knowing it, and to be
most damaged by a mistake in relation
to it.
The object of this communication,
gentlemen, is to endeavor to prevent a
useless Indian war by showing to the
public that there is no necessity for it
and with this yiewI send You an article,
cut from the Missouri Democrat giving
the latest news from this alarming seat Of
war, and confirming all that the fur ira
ders had told me. L wish you to publish
my speech against this Indian war, as
printed in the Congressional Globe to
be followed up, if you are willing tc
spare me few occasional columns o.
your paper, by other communications or
the same subject, and possibly on some
others. Remaining, gentlemen, your
obliged fellow citizen.

ments of freedom, they viii scatter its
enemies hkech But we are not quite
sure that the people of the free States are
in earnest in the resolve to maintain the
freedom of Kansas. We do not know
whether the emigrants thither from the
free States win prove themselves ready to
accept tho responsibilities of their posi-
ton, and meet the issue raised by ths
shareholders. If they do, the time is
here for the North to show that her peo-
pie are worthy of their sires. If il be
otherwise, their degradation is unspeak-
able, and they are ft only to live as the
slaves of slayes.-N i. Tribune.

Education.

.tAs the twig is bent the trees inclin-
ed" This word has more extended
definition than is usually given to it. 1t
is applicable to the animal and vegetable
creation, as we'll as to man. But take it
in either case, and it is universally con-
eeded that no time is so propitious for its
exercise as their earlier stages Of growth.
The most docile horses in the world, the
far-Eimed Arabian coursers, enter on
their training at a very early age, and !
venture to say that all animals remarka--
BILE for good training, have been taken in
hand at the earliest practicable time. The
wild fruits of the forest, by careful cul-
ture, have developed delicious varieties
that minister largely to the comfort of
mankind, as well as the commerce of the
world.
But what l intend at this time to speak
of more particularly is, its applicability
to the human mind 1t is here we see its
results more prominently brought to
view. 1t is the principle brought to bear
on the greatest and noblest work of
Deity, because t.smade after his own
image"
In considering the subject of human
education, 1 am led chiefly to view its
importance in shaping the destiny of man.
When compare the struggles of emf
nent men against adverse circumstances
in early life, and see the result of their
labors attributable to their mental educa-
ton. | never behold a crowd of boys
with uncombed hair and eyes sparkling
with native intelligence, but am led to
think there may be among them ''some
mute, inglorious Milton, or Cromwell,
innocent of his country's blood" While
/ claim for education much the largest
share in thus elevating men from the
humber walks of life, | do not wish to
be considered as undertaking that native
strength of intellect which willsometimes
make its way to eminence without its aid.
But when / see the ends accomplished by
great men, and know the aid they receiv.
ed from education, can draw the con.
clusion that without it they had lived,
died, and been buried, "unwept, union
ored and unsung." 1t is in this view of
the case that attach such great impor-
tance to its influence. Such being the
strength of early impressions, it becomes
the duty of every parent to "train up a
child in the way he should 60, and when
he is old he will not depart from it." But
it is to mothers influence that can
oftenest trace the germ of great and
noble character, and it is left with her, in
the greatest degree, to shape the infant
mind for veal or woe History is full of
instances in support of this fact. In
conclusion, it can only be said that no
one who has been favored with even an
Indifferent education, as regards what
has been called the three R's-reading,
'riting and 'rithmetic-will for moment
hesitate to say that t'learning is better
than houses and lands" and according
as man has advanced beyond this, so has
the mind been made capable of the higher
and nobler enjoyment of understanding
the works of God, as displayed in the
material universe.

1saw Him Do It-worth Reading.

Sd" q ldUOIOi veal AOu hlo>-hOi a.
I saw him stoop and take stone, that lay
in the pathway of passing wheels, and
cast it out of the road. This sight did
me good. This stone might be struck
by passing wheel to the discomfort per-
haps of the traveller, and possibly the
injury Of the vehicle 1t was kind in the
man to remove it.
''What trifie for newspaper para
graph!" says captious one. Not so my
friend. The act was small, but the mo-
tive noble-that act was small, but the
principle on which it is based, is of un-
speakable value to the human race.
/ love to trace things, especially such
things. to their fountain. That man had
emotion in his soul when he stopped to
pick up that stone. He felt right. twas
kind in him. l have right to think that
act was but one of the links of a chain |;
and never was chain made of better
material-loye for the welfare of others.
Such chain is all gold. The man had
Just done such things before, could not
doubt. He would do such things again.
Itcost him something to do this, for there
was pelting storm of sleet, and he car
ried an umbrella !; and he must pause In
his rapid walk to do it. Well done my
humble friend, if every other man would
stop and pick out of the path of his fellow
travellers through life the things that
yex and annoy them, how many sunny
faces there would be in place of scowl-
| ing ones Such acts as this mans; give
us enough of them-and how great a
shower of blessingsl How much misery
would be prevented!
I shall not stop here. The man that
viii do such things, will do greater things.
That will show what the fountain is. He
has kind heart. He viii remove larger
stones than that from the path of human
life. Give me that man for my adversely.
He who has honored the small draft viii
honor the greater. His good will not be
exhausted by that effort.
1t was trife, was it? Please then
think, my friend, it can be but trifie,
for you to do such thing. Do every
such sort of thing-anything that will
remove distractions out of the path OF
human happiness. Give your neighbora
jog to do so too. Perhaps he VIII pass
the Jog along, and we shall joggle some
OF the selfshness out of the human heart.

there was no war and no likelihood of 6

AsornxR CAsK or PooKEr PIcxRs.--Mrs. Spal-
ding, while making her purchases this morni,g at
the Centre market, had her pocket picked, and her
port-monnaie with about twentyeight dollars taken
from Der, by some of the adroit thieves who now
iniest our city. The recent convention Of old sol
diers here, has caused an influx of these nefarious
depredators, who appear to be reaping rich har-
vest. Several suspicious persons are at our hotels
but 50 wary in their proceedings that the police
cannot detect them.
DISTRIBUTION OF WooD.--It will be remembered
that the regular appropriations and donations have
been made for providing the poor Of our city with
wood, and the supervision Of the same given TO
the Mayor. Yesterday and the day before the
Mayors office was crowded with applicants young,
old, and mddled aged-olaiming an interest in the
fund for purchasing wood for the poor, and We are
glad to state that many have been assisted to the
comforts of a warm home.
BURGLARY AND DEATH.--Last night about half
past twelve o'clock, watchmen Kitchen and Harper,
in going their rounds, in Georgetown, discovered
light in the warehouse of Evan Lyons, and, upon
examination, they found that burglars were at work.
Harper went for the balance Of the watch, and,
while gone, a powerful negro, named Goings, came
out. Surprising Kitchen to be an accomplice whom
he had left outside, he approached him. calling the
name Of Dorsey; whereupon the officer command
ed him to stand still or he would shoot him. The
negro took to his heels, when the officer fred, the
ball taking effect in the neck killing him instantly
The jury of inquest have reserved their decision

Aanndl Session Of the City Council-Atarming
Scene Criminal Docket-- Distressing accident
BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.
The regular annual session Of Our City Council
commences on Monday, the 18th instant. The
Mayor has his message in readiness. 1t is quite a
long document touching on various matters re-
lating to municipal reform.
Quite an alarming scene took place yesterday
afternoon at the launching Of the ship Carrier Dove
from Abrahams ship yard, Fels Point just as
the noble vessel entered the water the swell pro-
duced caused a vessel in the vicinity, on which
were large number of spectators, to Greene to
one side in most fightful Manner and but for
the fact Of her being held by heavy chain scri-
GUS disaster must have ensued to those on board
The motion Of the vessel dragged her cable across
one Of the wharyes crowded with people, throwing
many down and nearly sweeping others into the
river. For few minutes the most intense alarm
prevailed; but providcntially, the danger passed
without serious consequences.
The present term of the criminal court win be
an unusually short one. So far only twenty-four
presentments have been made by the grand jury !;
all of which are for offences of minor character
There is not single case Of an important charac-
ter on the docket; and, if business is despatched
with theusual promptness, the session ofthe court,
which commences on Monday next, will scarcely
occupy more than month. This condition of af-
fairs in our criminal court speaks for the morals of
the community.
A most distressing accident occurred yesterday
afternoon in the press room of the Clipper office.
A small boy, named McGuern, whilst in the act Of
trying to remove asheet of paper which had slipped
on to the rollers, had his right arm caught beneath
the cylinder and horribly mangled. The flesh was
almost stripped from the lower part of his arm |;
and il was thought it would be necessary to ampu-
tate the limb.
The weather, these two days past, has been ex-
ceedingy unpleasant; succession of fogs and
mists, keeping the streets in condition most dis
couraging to pedestrians.
The steamers news published yesterday had no
effect whatever on our breadstuffs market. Small
sales of Howard street -four we're effected at 50 rs
and wheat remained at former quotations. Corn
advanced slightly, owing to demand from New
York. AMEMcus.
