"ATROCIoUs JUDGEs"-By Richard
HiIdreth.-In this volume Mr.. Hildreth
has collected together the memoirs of
those members of the English Bench,
who by their malice, corruption, and sub
serviency to kingly power have made
themselves infamous. Among those who
are thus held up to perpetual detestation,
are Scroggs, Hyde, North, Saunders, and
Jeffreys. The principal documents rela-
ting to the case of Passmore Williamson
are added by way of appendix. Not a
word of comment accompanies them, but
this very silence is ominousIy suggestive
The compiler prefaces the volume with a
succinct view of the history of British
judicial Institutions, containing much and
valuable legal information. Messrs. Mil
Ter, Orion & Mulligan are the publish.

a Touching Scene.

A correspondent of the Elmira Re-
publican, says, that in a recent trip over
the New York and Erie Road, an Incl
dent occurred that touched every behold
er's heart with pity. A comparatively
young lady, dressed in deep mourning
her husband having recently died-was
travelling southwark, having in her care
and keeping young daughter of some
six years. The little girl was mild-eyed
as an autumnal sky, and as delicate as
the hyacinth-her emaciated fingers as
delicate and transparent as the pearls of
Ceylon. Touchingly beautiful was the
affection of her heart for her mother,
whose solicitude for the daughters COM
fort was INCREASINGLY manifested. Look
ing over and anon from the car window
she turned to her mother, saying -
Mother, l am weary-when shall we
get home z" After time she fell into a
gentle slumber, and awakening suddenly
"a radiant smile overspreading her fea-
tures-she exclaimed, pointing upward,
-" Mother, there is papa home at
last !" and expired. 1t was yet many
weary mile to mothers home, but the
angels plying the little sufferer, gath
cred her to the Paradise of Innocence.

this circle we have soldier in full uni
form, walking night and day, giving our
town something of a military appearance.
Gems. Robinson and Lane are constantly
in the Council Chamber with other sob
ordinate officers. The whole movement
of the enemy is so shrouded in mystery
we know not how to speak for the future.
We can only provide for defence as well
as is in our power; then, trust in God
and keep our powder dry A campaign
cannot be kept up now as easily as IN
December. Then, our harvest was just
over, the weather was mild, and men could
leave their families without suffering.
Now, provisions, money and wood are
scarcer, and many who came before to
our aid, could not be urged to do so again
without paying them in advance, so that
their families would not suffer N their
absence. We have started men to-day
to different parts of the Territory, to ex-
pose our dangers, and charge them to be
ready at an hours notice"
The writer says that he never saw so
many people suffering with chilled feet
and hands as were then in Lawrence
He says:
"Full one-half who walk the streets
limp as they go, and are obliged to veal
buffalo overshoes, or something very loose
upon their feet. know of some womer
who are obliged to use crutches for the
same reason. This is called the coldes
winter known here for twenty years,
There is about six inches of snow nov
upon the ground, and the weather is b.
no means severe to-day. Wednesda,
morning the thermometer was II be
low zero, but for the last two days it ha
stood above zero. The ground is frozer
about Is inches deep, and the river abou
the same. Several nice ice-houses hav
been well packed with ice since the col
weather began"

Ca Hunter & Bells Panorama of the
fall of Sebastopol, is to be exhibited in
this place on Thursday evening next.
We have never seen this painting, but
from the many flattering notices given it
by the press, we presume the money
spent to purchase ticket will be well
laid out. Below is notice taken from
the North Union -
"Hunter & Bells Panorama of Sc
bastopol exhibited at our place on Tues.
day evening last, and gave general salts
faction. AT the present time anything
connected with that fortress has double
interest,-almost every paper being fillec
more or less with accounts of battles a
that place, and we become anxious t.
hear something of it. No painting car
give a more accurate idea, or any de
scription be more lucid than in this Pan
Drama, or the description of the painting
by Mr.. Bell. In an artistic view, th'
Panorama claims great merit, The ex
hibition was well attended"

Attack upon Horace Greeley.

1t appears that the presence OF MI
Greeley at the capital occasions consId-
cradle annoyance to some of the FreSi-
dents minions of the pugnacious order
The late assault upon the person Of Mr..
Greeley, while in Washington, is talr
specimen of that "Border Rufiianism"
which has thus far been winked at by
the executive head. 1t appears that
Rust, of Arkansas, the detestable perpe-
traitor of the insult, had introduced res
olution into the House, the object OF
which was to compel Mr.. Banks TO with
draw his name as candidate for Speaker.
This resolution could be looked upon as
nothing more nor less than an insult to
Mr.. Banks, and was so regarded by MIR.
Rust's own party.
In letter to the Tribune, Mr.. Gree
ley took the liberty-as was his right
TO speak of the resolution as being dis
creditable, and showing the underhanded
measures resorted to in order to defeat
Mr.. Banks. Greeley's language was
moderate and respectful. This was the
whole provocation. For this the Arkan-
sas bully, who is a very muscular man,
struck Mr.. Greeley with his clenched
fist, and with cane, and even attempted
to draw a pistol, as is supposed, to make
his attack the more effectual. This was
not done in the darkness of night, but in
open day, even upon the very steps Of
the capitol; and still Rust, the Hon. NJ
c., remains and associates with persons
called gentlemen.
At the time of the assault, Mr.. Gree.
ley was alone, quietly Flooding along the
street; he made no defence, and why
Not that he is wanting in manly courage
for his presence in Washington at thi
time, is itself a proof that he possesse
no common bravery.
Save in the hearts of few Souther
members at Washington, and in the sha
low heads of some few editors who gt
their living by worshipping the power
that be" there is but one general feelin
of contempt and indignation.

MEN AND MoNEYFoR KANsAs.-The

upon the South Carolinians to send "ma-
terial aid" in money and arms, to Kan
sas, to be used for the defence of slavery
son the field of the coming and inertia
BILE strife" and fighting men 'to flock to
the standard set up by Atchison, String
fellow and their associates" Further
more, the Times thus vouches for the
Governor of South Carolina as an active
party in this assault upon a territory of
the United States =
"Application should be made to his
Excellency, Governor Adams, for the
arms of the State-swords, pistols, mus
kets and cannon-in such quantities as
may be needed to equip those who may
be willing to 60, and surplus for men
in other States, who may desire to enlist
in the good cause. We have no doubt
Governor Adams will equip all who may
desire to enlist, if applied to by any con-
siderable number of his fellow citizens
and especially if he receives assurance
that the arms will be faithfully used in
driving back the hordes of abolition myr.
midons, who are now polluting the soil o.
Kansas"
There has been no such state inter
ference at the North, yet it is not to bt
disguised that the people of Kansas ar,
appealing for individual aid to furnish
the means of defence-and thus a civi
war is in actual and active progress
We record this deplorable fact as tn
Legitimate consequence of the doctrine
and policy of the administration and it
party in the last Congress. Had the,
not repealed the Missouri Compromise
there could have been no civil war;
Had the President even forbid the arme
