New England towns, noted for his over-reach-
ings and short comings, during revival cam
under the conviction, and requested prayere
for the furtherance of his conversion. His APPS
peal was responded to by one of the saints, an
eccentric but very pious old man, honest, plain,
blunt, square toed and flat-footed, who thus
went at it: eve do most earnestly entreat
thee, O Lord, to sanctify our penitent brother
here; fill his heart with goodness and grace,
SO that he shall hereafter forsake his evilways
and follow in the right path. We do know,
however. that it is required of him who has
appropriated worldly goods to himself unlaw-
fully and dishonesty, that he shall make res
titution four fold; but we do beseech thee to
have mercy on this our erring brother, as it
would be impossible for him to do that, and let
him off for the best he can do without beggar-
ing himself entirely, BY his paying twenty five
cents on the dollar.
The next supplicant at the same meeting
was an elderly maiden who got her living by
going into different families and spinning for
them She, also, had been famous for her
shortrcomings never giving full counts on her
yarn; the forty threads to knot was point
which she never reached. The blunt old man

her to count forty!'-

and the product in grain much greatsr
than any cereal under cultivation. The
stalk is perfectly green after the seed
has reached maturity, and the saccha-
rine principle is then fully developed.
The juiec, which Is most abundant, is
very saceharine, quite as much so as
the variety of cane cultivated at the
South. Whether the juice contains the
same amount of crystallizable sugar
remains to be tested. Should it be
found equal to the ordinary cane in this
respect. a new era in the agriculture Of
the North will be inaugurated, and an
immense breadth of land be devoted to
its culture as soon as the necessary seed
can be obtained, which will require
another year at least. The seed, having
been distributed late in the spring,
which was cold and backward. there is
good reason to believe that much plant
ed did not reach maturity. Should the
plant fail, SO far as the manufacture of
sugar is concerned, yet its value as
forage crop cannot be over estimated
at the North. Cattle, horses and hogs
eat the entire stalk with avidity, and
no doubt would fatten rapidly on it.
The seed, which is small, has a thin
black hull which can be taken of. leav-
ing fine white -four as the residue.
We have no means of estimating the
value of this -four as an article of food,
but no doubt its merits will be fully
investigated. The culture required for
the plant is similar to that adopted for
Indian corn, when planted in rows. and
the seed should be put into the ground
about the same time. As it is quick
and strong growing plant, it should be
well manured.

LAWRENCE KANSAS SATURDAY. NOVEMBER o. 1856. .

it was too much for his equanimity to
endure longer. Sworn to see that the
laws were faithfully executed, and feel
ing the sacredness of his pledge to know
no North, no South, no East, no West.
but to discharge his duty honestly, as
given in his Inaugural, he resolved on
discharging that duty, and ordered
Hays again into custody, Donaldson,
who summoned a posse ofhalf a thousand
men to aid in arresting three indiyid-
uals where no resistance was threatened,
refused to obey the reasonable request
of the Governor. If Gov. GEARY pos
sesses a-particle of influence with the
National Administration, it is clearly
his duty to see that those men are re-
moved from Office.
The Union used honeyed words, and
thought, with fattering. to induce Gov.
Geary to act the part of Shannon but
in this it has been foiled. We are sat
isfed the Governor designs to discharge
his duties faithfully, and will do so as
far as he has the ability. He is bound
down by the action of President Pierce
and his advisers, still he seeks to do
right. Those who supposed Governor
Geary was to be the tool of any party,
have great truth to learn before his ad-
ministration closes.

California.

We are glad to see by our exchanges,
that the scale of morality in California
is higher than it is in Washington
We live in hopes that the rascals will
get their just deserts. The murderer
of Keating has made his appearance in
California, and an exchange from that
State thus speaks of him =
Mr.. Herbert's arrival, by the last
steamer was display of temerity on his
part that, with most well thinking peo-
pie here, is thought to be in bad taste.
If he ever possessed character, it is for
gotten in the general feeling of horror
felt for his act, and the manner and re-
suit of his trial People avoided or
else shrunk from intercourse with him
as man who had stained his hands
reckessly with the blood of a fellow
creature. The Southern doctrine that
white men, in what is termed menial
positions, will in future know their
places, is considered too gross an attack
on freemen to be worthy of considera-
ton. Mr.. Herbert was waited on the
day after his arrival, by deputation,
who presented petition with several
thousand signatures, requesting him to
leave the State. He is represented to
have shown much agitation AMI fear,
thinking them to be a delegation of the
Vigilance Commit who were about
to arrest him. He replied that he would
give the demand respectful eonsidera-
tion, and next day quit the city. A
circumstance occurred since his appear
ance here, in one of the restaurants,
showing the effect of his bloody act
One of the walters was abused by words,
and an attempt made to assault him, by
a person who had ordered some dish,
which not being to his satisfaction, he
concluded to revenge himself on the at
tendant. He was elected into the street,
after receiving some rough usage from
the waiter and others present, who
thought Herbertism should be put down
at its first appearance in California. If
Herbert purposes remaining here he
must be callous indeed, for he was
avoided and commented on in manner
that would be torturing to any one pos
sessing the slightest feeling. He is a
marked man.

Slave Insurrection. 4.

The Richmond Enquirer, of the 22d,
has some remarks on slave insurrec-
tions, and observes -
There can be no danger of insurrec-
ton at the South, because the whites
are more numerous than the blacks, and
because living on detached farms, un-
der the supervision of masters and over
seers, they have no opportunity of con,
certed action.
The danger is least in time of war,
for then the slaves are most closely
watched, and all the whites are armed.
Since the first French revolution all
free society has been engaged in one
continued fight of labor against capital
Mobs, riots and bloody revolutions are
almost daily occurrences. 1t is they
who should dread insurrection, not We.
Itis cruel, then, for the South to de-
sert us at our utmost need
