The Beautiful Character of that &c Aged
Rclative.''

The Washington correspondent Of tie
Boston Telegraph, in recent letter, says !:
/ see that some Of the Boston papers
speak of Mr. Butler as kind-hearted, frank,
learned, courteous gentleman of the old
school. OF that | leave the country to
judge. | saw this gentleman at the theatre
last week., in a inaudl;n state of intoXica-
ton. Hackctt was playing Falstalf in the
Merry Wives of Windsor. Butler was in
the parquette, in G.i view Ct the whole
house, and acted 50 badly that it required
the whole attention of Senator Hunter, OF
Virginia, who sat on one side of him, and
another person on the other side whom l
did not know, to kceph him from disturbing
the audience. l sat SO near him part of
the time that could lear his drunken re-
marks and the eXpostulations of his COM
rades. This much for the gentleman of the
old school. -

ST. LOUIS, June 81

ST. LOUIS, June q.
Gov. Shannon, from Kansas, arrived last
night, and authorizes the Republican to say,
through Mr.. Barnum, that he has not re-
signed. He came to meet his wife, and will
return in the course Of next week. He re-
ports all quiet in the Territory.
A letter to the Republican, dated West
port, June 24th, says: a meeting washed
at that p ace on Sunday Last, denouncing the
murder of Indian Agent Gay. A committee
was appointed to prepare an address to the
Governor of Missouri, acquainting him with
the murder, and asking him to offera reward
for the murIerers. Thirty-fve citizens of
Westport have subscribed $3.50 reward for
the same purpose.
The Chicago emgrants were at Lexng-
ton on Sunday last, on board the Star of the
West. When the boat landed, a committee
of citizens went on board and informed Capt.
Dix of the object of cir visit. lie introdu-
ced them to MIR. Andrews, President of the
the Company, who informed them he had
seventy-siX men under his charge, going to
Kansas for the purpose of settlement, that
eac had gun, and it was their determine
ton to keep them. The Committee replied
they were satisfied of hostile intentions OF
the party, that they were recruits of Lane
and Reedcr, and that the people of the town
had determined they should not pass with
out giving up &heir arms. After considera-
bic conversation between the Committee and
leaders Of the Company it was agreed arms
should he taken ashore, placed in custody OF
responsible mel chants, to be delivered up
when present difficulties of Kansas should
be settled. Arms were found secreted in
various places of the boat, and instead Of
proving to be shot guns, as represented by
the patty, they turned out to be carbincs all
loaded, with bay onots attached. No violence
offered to the party.

HOPED PETTIcoArs VS.. DoGs.-C"c day
last week, says the Montgomery Advertiser
a lady was attacked in one of the streets OF
our city by three dogs, and violently thrown
to the ground. In their ferocious attemptto
bite her, her dress was literally torn from her
person, but the hoped petticoat proved a
Sebastopol to the canine assassins so cffec-
tually shielding her precious flesh that she
escaped with but a few slight scratches on
her neck, and some slight bruises on the
face, occasioned by the fall. There is virtue
in whalebone. Why is it that the dog law is
not enforced?

LIBEL ON THE PENITENTIARY.-The arti-
Gle we copied from the st. Croix Union of
Saturday last, speaking of "stampede :"
from the Territorial Penitentiary, proves to
be falsehood manufactured out of whole
cloth. We were in Saltwater on Monday,
(of which visit thereto we will speak at
length soon) and the prevailing impression
was that neishbor Abbott was dreaming of
the Deluge when he wrote that "stampede :"
article-else he did it out of pure spite and
cussedness" towards Mr.. Delano, the
Warden. The prison is now well guarded
and perfectly secure; and we hope only that
the Union editor will in future not endanger
his personal liberty by trying so hard to get
locked up inside of it as he did in this in
stance. ,ea
His paper is usually very dull in the
local line but if he cant't keep the run of
the prison items, we would suggest to friend
Delano the propriety of giving him quarters
and Office, free of rent, inside the walls.

carry dismay into the hearts of every slavery

is not that the South shall be Adolitionized,

Africanized; not a question whether the
slaves of the South shall be emancipated,
but whether the freemen of the North shall
be made slaves; and he who is not ready
for such question would have been cow
