Human FOR KANSAS At the close
of Mr.. Bakers eloquent and patriotic
speech in the Natchez Courthouse last
Thursday night, says the Concordia Intel
ligencer of the 25th ult., the young and
chivalrous Captain Campbell Marsh. of
the Nstchez Fencibles. responded by
donation in money and by putting down
his name as one Of the emigrating cham.
pions for the equal rights of the South in
that Territory. Since then, we learn that
about forty young men OF Natchez and its
vicinity, have enrolled themselves, by ap-
pointing Campbell Marsh as their captain,
and await Mr.. Bakers arrangements at
St. Louis. to forward them immediately on
to Kansas, where they will become settlers
by taking lands Cor improvement. 1t is
supposed that the Natchez company viii
be at least fifty in number.

Rife Religion.

IN late number of the Boston Mail -
find well-tined and weII-urit,en s,';.,
on the subject of :. rife religion" ~
make room for the following extract:
The clergyman has his place, and tbs,.
he is respected and honored. Iii forb;.
to speak of things spiritual, not tempcrs,.
and when he forgets the sanetity of II.
pulpit. and initiates The rancor OF the form,
his general influence is then impaired ana
bis sacred mission insulied. In the pol;t.
cal arena he has no place. Let him. in
the retiracy of his study, entertain who,
opinions he may on the political questicp
of the day. On each recurring election,
let him exercise the citizens privilege. tie
righ, of franchiSe-and vote for those can.
didates whom his judgment consider mos
worthy to hold Office. But here he mus
stop. His political principles. and preju.
dices, should never find voice in the pul.
pit, Tor there it is his only duty. to inter.
pret rightly and calmly, Gods message to
man.
Least of all should the preacher incu'.
cate doctrines which the Bible universallv
condemns. He who is appointed to speak
of peace should not breathe accents of
bloodshed. But there are those, we regret
TO say, who think otherwise. a recent
instance at New Haven. and examples Of
which. each days rews bring Us accounts,
prove how some ciergymen interpret then
duty. 1t Is disgraceful 10 the American
pulpit that sueh things should be. and il
these men persevere in their phrensied ca.
reer; society will soon fearfnlly realize
that they do not preach peace, bus

THE plea of self.defence. on which the
rifle reiigionist defends his eonduct, is Per.
fectly untenable. It is the purchase o.
Sharpe's rifles in the East, that creates
danger in the West. Every rifle bough,
in Massachusetts, necessitates the pur.
chase Of revolver in Missouri. Like be-
gets like-arms begets arms, and if the
northerner as he moves westward equipi
himself like pirate. he must not be sur.
prised if his countryrnan is armed like an
Arab. In this way collision, instead Of
heing avoided, is provoked, and if a civil
war ensues wo must thank these clergy.

From Fort Laramie.

Through the courtesy OF friend we
lave been permitted to extract some inter
esiins information from letter dated Fort
Laramie, May 3. The writer states that
so.ne danger from the Cheyenne Indians IS
anticipated. they having killed Pierre Car
MIA at the Platte bridge, few days since.
and the soldiers have wounded one OF the
Indians, who is since reported to have died.
These Indians have for long time been
nolesting the California road, and we hope
that il will soon be time for our Govern
nent to make them understand that peace
able travellers shall pass through that part
Of ,he country without being insulted, and
FOR Gen. Harvey to have orders to punish
these notorious thieves.
Three companies OF troops are at BIT
ter Cottonwood, twenty miles above. and
one company at the bridge one hundred
miles above Fort Laramie.

The Panama Riots

The disgraeeful destruction of life and
property on the lsthinus, we think, should
act as an incentive to our Government TO
be more on the alert in the protection Of
the commercial interests of the country.
The ineficiency Of the navy IS such that
even the mos. busy thoroughfares traversed
by our commerce are left wholly and en-
tircly unprotected. Oft-repeated and afro
cious outrages are continually occurring
which, if not soon checked by few sum-
mary examples, will lead TO the almCst to-
tai debasement of our flag abroad. 1t is
fact no. to be disguised, that the navy is
insufficient to the efectual protection Of
our worldwide commerce, OF 10 insure that
respect to the United States which its ex-
alted position properly entities it to.
The navy of the United States is too
limited in the number of vessels to afford
security to the mercantile service engaged
in foreign traffic, or to American citizens
residing in, or passing through foreign
countries. The supremacy of Great Brit
ain, and the terror of her name amid the
minor kingdoms of this mundane sphere,
has been upheld by an active and vigorous
defence OF the rights Of her subjects in eve
ery nook and corner of the world, and
prompt and severe retaliation OF any IN
dignity offered or injury sustained. Let
the port be ever so remote in which the Oh
fence is committed, yet some one or more
of Briton's bulldogs are nigh at hand 10
enforce redemption whenever the tails OF
any OF her majesty's pups are too tightly
compressed for comfort by the foot OF some
oyer-venturous potentate. But, forsooth,
the United States, with millions Of money
living idle in her treasury vaults, must
submit to insult after Insult, to injury upon
injury-nay, must witness the wholesale
bu,chery of its citizens and reckless de-
struction of their property. by such sickly,
degenerate, insignid cant and puslllani-
NOUS upstart governments as Costa Rica,
through the inefficiency of its navy in point
of numbers.
These outrages are becoming more ire
quent. more aggressive and more atrocious
every day. The conservative policy SO
loudly preached at home. and put in prac-
tice in our foreign affairs. has impaired an
amount OF impudence and audacity to lit
tIe diunitaries that is becoming totally un-
bearable, and which inperatively requires
The administration oil retributive justice to
bringt these self.inaated officials to a proper
appreciation of the diminu'ive position
they occupy in this worlds affairs.
Will President Pierce revenge this cold
blooded butchery? or shall the soil of the
Isthmus weller in the blood of American
citizens, and not one of the cowardly as
sasins be made to bite the dust in atone
ment therefor. We shall see.
