Low water, medium stage or high water, boats
manage to get to New Orleans and arrive at the leyee
halfa dozen or more per day. From Saturday morning
last up to clock last evening" there arrived twenty
three steamboats,, from the snug little Camden up to
the great and queeny Princess all with two three
exceptions bringing full loads-among which we
note as the arrivals yesterday, the Princess from
Ficksburg with 1919 bales Swamp Fox, llG2
Julia from Memphis ,GG3 Amanda, from Harrison
burg, $50. On Sunday, the Southern Belle, from
Grand Gulf with 2,420 bales St Nicholas, LOCI;
Jackson Railroad, 2O4; sunlry boats, SOL. Total
since Sunday morning, 1912 bales.
The weather continues favorable for the gathering
of the crop, very little rain having fallen, and it
augurs that the receipts at this port will go far to-
wards making 2,S50,000 bales as the maximum. But
the general remark to-day on the streets and On
change was the complete Withdrawal from the
market Of buyers. Nevertheless, we learn that there
were sixty-siN bales Of cotton Of Mississippi growth
sold at the high figures OF fourteen and half cents
and thirty bales at thirteen and halfcens; OF course
was of extra quality. In general parties are wait
ing for further adyices from Liverpool.
The Baltic of the Goth ult. is fully dnc and her ad-
vices ought to have been at hand yesterday evening.
In the meantime, We give the following views and
estimates from the most respectable sources in Liver
pool, but as they evidently lean to one side of the
great question, We shall DC glad to have estimates
from those entertaining different views:

EATON County speaIss for Ers
FOUR THOUSAND IN CONVENTION

EDITOR ADvERTlRER.-Tho Republican
mass meeting held at Charlotte, on the Sd
inst, was one of the largest and most enthu-
siastic demonstrations of the campaign. With
banners fitting in the breeze, and freedom
burning in tho heart, the hardy yeomanry
of Eaton come forth as ifby magic, to council
together upon the great issues to be decided
IN November. The procession from Eaton
Rapids, escortee by thirty-two horsemen, and
headed by the Jackson Brass Band. number
ed some one hundred and twenty wagons,
among which were several six and four horse
teams. When within fow miles of Char
lotte, they were met by thirty-two more
horsemen from that place. Upon arriving at
the grounds, we found seats prepared and
stand erected in beautiful grove. The
number present exceeded our most sanguine
expectations, and their prolonged cheers be-
spoke their enthusiasm. The speakers were
Messrs Brown, of Marshal, Wellf Of Detroit,
and Blaia, of Jackson. -,
Their eloquent and truthful words are still
reverberating through the dense old forests Of
Eaton, and when November comes, they will
prove not to have been uttered in vain. The
fires bvrn brightly. A. A. ID.

application to the military which was the
wrong source from whence to seek it.
B. That the mere possession Of arms by
emigrants entering the Territory, is not pri-
ma facie evidence Of threatened invasion, and
that the mere possession Of arms by settlers
within the Territory is not prima facie cvi-
dence of threatened insurrection; that the
bearing of arms is CoNsTITuTIoNAL PRIV
LEeE which distinguishes American citizens
and that even Government itself HAS NO RIeAT
under such circumstances, TO DIsARM THEM
REPLY OF THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. President, during the eighteen months
or more that executive power has been exert
ed, as is alleged, to preserve peace in Kan
sas, and vainly exerted it would seem from
admissions here made, the disorders of that
Territory have grown only worse, AT this
moment they are more threatening than ever;
a peaceful solution of its troubles seems still
more uncertain than at any period of its for
mer history The President affirms that he
has exhausted all his constitutional powers
and yet order is not restored. Under such
circumstances may it not be worth while to
enquire whether the form Of the e0as is not
to be found IN the Territorial lars themselves? /?
President-This question l do not propose
TO discuss at the present time.
Coinmittee-From whatever source, then,
Sir, the difficulties in Kansas have originated,
this one thing is potent to the country and to
the world, that, Notwithstanding all the eff
forts of the Government, disorders of the most
frightful character have prevailed; disorders
that would shame the worst despotisms ofthe
worst ages; disorders SO widespread and SO
atrocious SO bloody and SO infernal SO deep
ly damning and inhuman, that, to escape
them, tho wretched inhabitants would make
gain if transferred to the despotic Govern
ments of Russia, of Austria or of France
Curing this dark reign of blood and terror;
during this fearful tempest of violence and am
arcoy, these poor nnshielded victims of plot
ted vengeance have broken no law and COM
mitted no crime. For hating Slavery because
they loved Liberty, all these things have
come upon them.
Such, sir, is the nature and character of
the events which have transpired in Kansas
during the past eighteen monahs' policy Of the
Government. AS representatives of the Ma
tional Kansas committee, we are to-day to
ask schether any cgange in this policy Of tie
administration SIS TO be expected"
President-"No Sirs" THEIR wIrL De
DONE"
Such, gentlemen of the Rational Kansas
committee, is the substance of our interview
with President Pierce The duty of COM
menting on the facts here stated, we leave to
you. Our mission is ended.

LET DOWN THE BARS VERY Low.
TusE-"old Uncle Ned"

There is an old donkey, awon out Jack,
Too old to live very long,
He has no bone in the middle ofhis back,
Where the bones ought TO grow very strong.
CHoRus-Then let down the bars very low,
And drive IN the poor old joe,
There's no more work for poor old "Buck,'
Let him go where the old nags go.
His legs are long when he trots after votes,
But he has eyes for 10 see
And his teeth are worn out ea,ng public oats,
So he'll have to let the public oats be.
CHoRUs-Then let down the bars very low, &c,
He aipays pulls wrong with very hard jerk.
Which gives to his driver much trouble;
He's not at all fit for our kind of work,
For he's never yet learned to 60 double.
CHoRus-Then let down the bars very low, &c.
What's the use Of a nag with so many bad ways,
SO stubborn so old and so sowl
The best we do rs TO turn him out to gra1e,
In the fields where the short grasses grow.
CHoRUs--Then let down the bars very low,
And drive in the poor old joe,
There's no m,re work for poor old "Buck,''
Let him so where the old nags go.

From the st. Louis Democrat buchanan paper
Shocking Excesses against the Free Soilers in
Kansas.

A gentleman who arrived yesterday after
noon from Weston, on the David Tatum, re-
ports that the most intense excitement pre-
walls along thesborders of Missouri and Kan
sas. Of the Free State party, men women
and children were flying in all directions.-
While the David Tatum was lying at Leav-
enwor1h, upwards of one hundred of these
fugitives went on board. These persons had
tgt behind them all their property, a0hich
had been taken possession of by those aoho
ordered them to leave. The greatest and
most shocking excesses had been committed
few days ago, within five miles of Leaven-
worth. A party of men called at house,
and inquired for the head of the family
They were told he was absent. They at
first affected TO discredt this frequently re-
peated asservation, but finally said to the fe-
males of the family, "D-n your souls, then
come ont here yourseves-we want you."-
A mother and daughter were then taken out
into the bushes, where they were kept all
night, being subjected to the most foul in.
dignities. In the morning they were allowed
to crawl back home, more dead than alive.
At Kansas City robbery Of horses and val
uables continued to be of common occurrence;
and murders were almost equally frequent.
A resident of Clay Co., Missouri, had
boasted that he would have the scalp of an
Abolitionist. Crossing the river at Leaven-
worth, he went few miles back into the
country, and shortly returned Nth a reeking
scalp, which he exhibited ostentatiously at
Leogenworth. HIS victim was mechanic
Just arrived IN the territory. He had re-
turned from Laurence, chere he had ieft his
wye, and was seeking employment at the
time he Dds shot and scalped.
Gov. Price had been in the disturbed dis
tricts, but was hurrying home, hourly er-
pecting a dispatch from, the President order
ing out The militia Of the State. In this
event, he would command them in person.
Atchison was also on the borders, tanning the
movements against Kansas.
Lexington had 500 men under arms
jackson, Clay and Platte counties were each
to furnish the same number. Three thous-
and men from Missouri were expected to ar
rive in the territory in few days.
Our informant says that no attack had
been made upon any place by the Free State
men, and there had been no concerted action
on their part.
The information we have now given rests
on the testimony of gentleman resident in
Missouri, who holds high position in the
State, and who has no partizan bias what
ever.

EMPLOYING THE ARMY TO EXTEND SLAVE
RY.-We presume that now, Congress having
given its permission, the President will ego
his length" for the enforcement of the tyran-
nical code of Kansas enactmcnts, and the
subjugation of the free citizens Of that free
Territory. The persistency of his supporters
in the Senate in their opposition to the Pro-
viso, argues that he greatly desires to EN-;
ploy the U. s. army for the enforcement Of
those enactments; and a report from WASH
ington that the Administration is "exultant"
over the defeat of that Proviso, confirms

Thus will the Army be made an instru-
ment of tyranny, instead of means of de-
fence, which Is the legitimate object of its
maintenance. The same power was employ
ed by the President for the return Of poor
Fugitive Slave from Boston; and by employ
ing it for the establishment Of Slavery in
Kansas, he but carries out the line Of policy
that has thus far characterized his administra
ton, of employing "the whole power of the
government" if necessary, to serve the
Slave Power. In fact, about the only use to
which the Army has of late years been put

But, (thank heavenly the official term Of
the present Administration is almost at an

that still remain, it may, by its peculiar
Democratic policy, do much mischief; but
not enough, we trust, to preclude at least a
partial remedy by the Fremont administra-
tion that succeed it.-[Chicago Journal.
