Creole Butter.

They have in New Orleans pale, sweet
deicacy known as Creole butter, generally
supposed to be made directly from the fresh
milk of the COW, as it estimately is; but there
is another way, it seems to manufacture the
article. We publish the hint for the benefit
of our readers, and would suggest that a
small amount of super carbona:e of soda
thrown into the milk before churning. will
greatly assist in destroying the rancidlty of
aged butter:
1.-The neighbors of certain lady in the
fourth district, New Orleans have recently
discovered the nature of something that has
seemed a miracle for some months past. They
knew the lady had but one COW, and they
knew also that the lady's two little negroes
peddled as much Creole butter daily as could
be produced by dozen common cows. In
QUESTION got so high on the subject At last,
that the lady let out the secret, and in its
travels it has reached US. She told a friend
that her was only common one, and
didn't produce any butter, but yielded milk
enough in which to re-churn any quantity Of
strong hrkin butter. which she buys whole
sale at the groceries, and converts, by the
said re-churning in new milk. into Creole
butter, which always commands the highest
prices. She added, also that By this process
she has made clear profit. since last June.

PROHIBITION Is MAISE.-Since the defeat
of the prohibition party in Maine. the opinion
seems to have gone abroad that the prohibito-
~ law would be entirely repealed in that state
This is certainly great mistake. The princi-
pie Of prohibition has not been touched in this
contest; large majority of the members OF
the Legislature elect having pied ged themselves
to favor it. There will no doubt be some
modification in the present law. few Of
its more stringent features may be Topped of.
but the leading prov isions will stand in all
their original efficiency.

THE INVASION OF KANSAS.

We give to-day some additional letters from our
intelligent correspondent in Kansas detailing the
progress of the villainOus Missouri invasion set on
foot by Shannon and the conspirators for making
Kansas Slave State It will be seen that the
Presidents telegraph, or despatch, in reply to
ShannOn's call for regulars had the effect to be
expected of it in stimulating the fury and raising
the hopes of the border rufIians 1t is evident
that, as our correspondent approached the border
of Missouri, (his last letter is dated at Kansas
City, he began to be alarmed by the musterings,
noise, and threats Of the invaders; but, as no
notice has reached by telegraph of the proposed
attack upon Lawrence it is fair to presume that
it has not yet taken place. 1t viii be seen that
ST. Louis papers Of the 18th, though filled with
notes Of war from the border, considered the
bubble as having fairly burst, and that the volun-
teers were already on their way home again. In
deed, il is probable that some secret telegraphic
reprimands from Washington may have served to
check the furious spirit with which Gov. Shannon
like King Stork in the fable, was seeking to de-
YOUR bis pesceable subjects
Unless ShannoL's letter, promised in his tels-
graphic despatch, and emphaticaly called for, with

ceived,-a new movement, we hope, will be made
in the Senate to force the President to produce it

PITFALLS.

II is very common case for the wicked to dig
pits in which to catch themselves, aud such ia the
fate that inevitably awaits the Pro-Slavery poll
ticians now so dominant and so domineering at
Washington.
II is evident that no more deadly blow could he
struck at the institution of Slavery than to have
the principle established and stuck to for thirty
Years or 80, that slaveholding or advocacy Of
Slavery should be an absolute disqualified alton to
holding any office of honor, trust or profit under
the Federal Government. Keep slaveholders aud
slaveholding for thirty years under such an ex-
hausted receiver, and they would quietly die out
without finger being laid on them. 1t would be
great deal easier for Virgnians to dispense with
slaves than with Federal offices. How, indeed,
without Federal offices, would large proportion
of them be able to keep their slaves out of the
grasp, not Of the Abolitonists but of the Sheriff
When the idea was first started, quite number
Of years ago, by the ultra Abolitionists Of this
political accommodation to be EXTENDED to slave
holders, it was far from meeting with any general
reception even among the Northern opponents of
Slavery. theoretically considered such a pro-
scription seemed to be hard and harsh; and the
ntiSlavery men at that time were BY no means
prepared to subscribe to any such policy.
This idea, however, thus rejected by tue Anti
Slavery men, was eagerly caught up by the slave
holders and was applied by them to the crushing
"out of Aboltionsm," by the rigid exclusion
from Federal honOrs and Office of every body sus.
pected of the least faint of Anti Slavery. This
was carried 80 far, that even the Hon. Edward
Everett, when nominated as Minister to England,
was seriously objected to in the Senate, and his
confirmation greatly endangered on the score that
he was an Anti-Slsyery man, sort of deserter
letter speaking fsvorably of the emancipation of
the slaves in the West Indies, and hopefully to
their emancipation everywhere.
The test thus rigidly applied to candidates for
Federal Office has since been extended even to
members of the United States Senate. In con-
formity TO the same policy the AntiSavery men,
bers OF that body are deprived of the places on
Committees to which their qualifications fully
entitle them and placed, if anywhere in the fourth
or fifth rank under come chairman whose qualif-
cations consist not in his general intelligence or

NEW PROJECT FOR sTaENGTHENHG
SLAVERY.

A correspondent of The Mobile Daily Alder
;i.er. writing from Montgomery where the Ala
bsms legislature is in session, gives curious
account of what he describes as the most animated
and interesting debate of the session The sub
iect of this debate was bill to exempt from
lew and sale one fem.le slave, &" for the use
and comfort of the family" The author of
tbis bill was a Mr. Belser, but its ablest adyo-
cate WAS Mr.. Howard of Mobile who delivered
we are told, most excellent earnest aud, in
deed, thrilling appeal in its favor Instead of
copfninp himself to the mere - comfort of the
family whether the male or female part of it
MIR. Howard planted himself on much more
commanding ground. He urged the measure
as means of strengthening the institution of
Slavery and placing it on firm and more sstisfac
tory basis.
"He eloquently depicted says the letter writer to
vhnm we owe our account, the situation OF the
south In alton to this question:; spoke OF the duty

it were the slave part and parcel OF it.
Mr.. Howard was also in favor of the measure in
relation to woman. He spoke Only of the case of
the free woman-who, he thought, could not be
too abundaI tly protected by the law from the con-
sequences of her husbands misfortunes or dissipa-
tion-but such law would have the additional re-
commentator of extending certain degree Of
security to the slave woman also 1t seems to US,
however, that to carry out Mr.. Towards scheme
of making the slave "a part and parcel of the
family" she ought to be exempted not merely from
levy and sale, but from sale Of every sort.
The members, however, seem to have been more
concerned about the payment of debts than about
placing the institution of Slavery on more salts.

poned
