From the Columbus Times * Sen.
BUFORD AND KAN
SAS EMIGRATION.

In the Spirit of the South of Dee
25th inst, we find long letter from
Jefferson Balord, Esq, in which he
details at lcngth his plan for promo
ting Kansas emigration. Our limited
space forces Us to publish only an alb
stract of his letter, but we will dc
ample justice TO hun and his enter
prise.
RENpIzvous AND TINE or STARTING
Eufaula, Silver Run, and Montgom-
cry, Alabama, and Columbus, Gcor-
gia, are designated as places at which
cmigrants may rendezvous. The
company will start from Eufaula,
Alabama, by the llth of February
via Silver Run, Columbus and Mont
gomcry, if the Alabama river is navi-
gable and if not, then by Atlanta,
Ga.
RArIoSs.-Rations, equal to those
issued in the army of the United
States, will be furnished to those who
rendezvous at Silver Run, Columbus
and Montgomery, from the 10Th Feb
ruary, 1856, up to ten days after land
ing in Kansas.
ORGASIzArIoN.-The organization
will be that of a Military company,
the leader to be Captain, all subaltern
officers to be elected by the company
OurFrrs.-An honest face, health,
strength and appetite to take soldiers
fare but when emigrants are able, it
i, desirable that they will procure am
munition, a rifle or musket, blankets,
warm clothing ana cloth for tents.
Provisions will be furnished and cx-
ponses will be paid by Maj. Bulord.
WHAT II REoCRED OF EN,GRAsrs.--
Every emigrant to Kansas is, by the
laws of Congress-, entitled to a pre-
claim to 100 acres of land,
at the minimum price Of Sl.25 per
acre. This land Maj. Buford will
advance the money to enter. In con
sideration Of which advance and the
expense of travelling ana support for
one year, each emigrant is expected
and required to transfer 80 acres of
his prc-cmption to Ma, Buford and
retain 50 acres for himself, free Of
charge of any kind. In addition to
this, it is expected Of those who are
able, to do moderate military duty );
but military service must be left to
each cmigrant's sense of expcdiency,
as there is no law to enforce it.
FAuulEs.-Iimigrants may take
their families, if they choose but are
advised not to do so at present, as it
will be uncomfortable for women and
children to remain in tents. They
can be brought on after houses are
built. Still, if any choose to take
their families, they can do so on the
following conditions: for wife, fifty
dollars each, for female children over
fifteen years old, forty dollars each,
for female children between ten and
fltecn, thirty dollars each, for those |
between five and ten, twenty dollars
each, and for those under five, ten
lollars each; male children and slaves
tor one fifth less than the above rates
when there Is b1t one slave, the .

A Practical SGRHoN.-A few S un-
days since certain highly popular
and talented clergyman of the Metho-
dist Church read to his congregation
the second chapter of Paul's Espistlc
to the Ephesians, the 10th verse,
which Is as follows
"Now, therefore, yc are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the saints, and of the
household Of God"
After reading this ver'c, he dcliber-
ately raised his eyes to the congrega-
ton, and remarked:
MY dear hearers, 81. Paul ,cds not
n Kaop Nothing ?' and, without anoth-
er word of comment, went on with
his reading. The reverend gentle
man, though opposed to making po-
litical remarks in the pulpit, could not

FREMONT IN THE METRoroLLs.-We verify be-

give Fremont large majority in this city against
Buchanan and Fillmore. The Buchanan demo
crazy is breaking to pieces in every direction
rom the pure want OF inherent cohesiveness.
The Fillmore men have for leaders only spoils-
men and Office seekers, in whom the people have
DO confidence, and the rank and file of both par
ties appear to be disguised with the old rotten
machinery TO which they have been harnessed
and are coming out numerously in favor Of Free
mont. Let il not be forgotten that every man
who is for Fremont votes the State or city ticket
as his judgment dictates. We recommend every
independent citizen who has soul and heart
and a knowledge of his country's interests, TO
vote the Presidential ticket for Fremont-the
State ticket for Parker, and the city ticket for
Fernando Wood. lie must have difficult taste
whom this choice will not suit

text for this proposal is the misgovcrfment Of

double provision Of spells and Offices. Some men.

that the management Of our civic affairs has been
worse in proportion to the number of the

has been that the fewer public servants we have

MORE FRAUDS N FRAsCE--By the Arago,
which arrived yesterday, we hear Of more trouble
in the financial world in Europe. This time, the
stoly-whch as Jet needs confrmation-is that
The Orleans Railway Company has been defraud-
ed OF COO, GOO francs worth of shares. We hear
Of no names, ai,d the rumor was as yet in ayague
shape; but in the present state Of the railroad
market in France, we are disposed to consider the
story as very probable We also hear that i'm
mense d,ialcations in departments connected
with the army have taken place in Denmark
Like the affairs Of the railroads, thcse are doubt
less due to the speculative mania which has burst
forth throughout Europe.
The Orleans road has been for some years one
Of the most profitable in France, only second as
O dividend paying road to the Chemin du Nord
English capitalists have long puzzled their brains
discover the secret Of the extraordinary success
Of these French roads, which have been paying
ifteen ard twenty per cent per annum when
their own lines could not pay three They will
now be able to understand il better. The French
hnancicrs, like our own have been in the habit Of
borrowing money to pay dividends, and making
heir industrial enterprises subservient to their
stock operations. The frauds in the Northern
end Orleans Railways are only the beginning Of
a trouble which may not stop short of the total
destruction of the financial credit, and even the
political institutions of France.

CaIolina--lut North and South this democratic
disunion crusade is stili the same Even Mr.
Toiney, the especial confidence man of Mr.. Blu
chaaan, breaches 10 the frightened people Of
Pennsylvania that unless his candidate be elect
cd his disunion democratic brethren OF the South
win ride in blood up to their saddle girtha The
Washington Union, the Richmond Enquirer, the
Charleston Mercury, the New Orleans Della, and
other kindred secession organs, have re-echoed
the same hue and cry until the whole country is
sick and Disguised with their shameless and
drunken clamor. Lynch law, bloody duels, and
q prevailing despotism OF democratic dema-
gogues and harpies have thus been inflicted upon
the South; and the free North is still called
upon to submit at the hazard OF disunion.
Where is the remedy? Not with Mr.. Bu-
,hanan, for the nullifers who rule his party
have bound him hand and foot and gagged him,
nd placed in bis hands this black dag of nullii-
cation, disunion and civil war. Not with Mr.. Fill
more He, too, is in this disunion conspiracy.
Fresh from the homage OF despotic courts in
Europe, he returned home to endorse the
policy Of iorcibly nullnying the will Of the Anne
rican people should they refuse to obey the orders
Of Southern secessionists. Our only safety is
with Fremont. 1t has become the highest duty
Of the people to elect Fremont, in order to put
the whole batch Of our democratic disunion trail
tors and their abettors to the practical test Of
submission or rebellion to the popular will. The
people, in teaching these public distnrbers this
wholesome lesson of popular sovereignty, will 81
lence them, save the country, and restore the con-
stitution and the fraternal reciprocities Of the
constitution as the supreme law, not alone Of the
North hut Of the South and the Territories Of the
West. The late speech Of Mr.. Banks, at Phla
dclpbia, which we published yesterday, and this
speech Of Mr.. Brooks which we publish to-day,
afford fair standard of judgment between the
principles and the policy, respectively, OF the
great constitutional Fremont party and the de-
bauched demoralized ard disunion democracy.
In single word, Fremont is willing to become
the servant Of the people, and is pledged to bow
to their Judgment should the people decide
against him while democratic nulli1iers will have
tLeir candidate and be masters OF the people, or
they will break up the Union rob the public trea-
sury, and set up model republic for themselves
The day approaches when we shall hear from the
people.
