WEDNESDAY, AUG. "a, 1866.
Death OF Andrew jackson Msrxan.
We learn that Mr.. Morgan died at the Mer.
chants Hotel in this city, yesterday morning, at
the age of thirty years. "Litte jack" as he
was Familiarity called, occupied for some time o
somewhat conspicuous position among the De-
mocracy of this Territory, and possessed GER
tain political influence that made him courted by
old politicians. He welded ready pen, but it
was always in the cause of Democracy, and now
that he has passed from the stage of life, we can
freely say, that We believe his love and advocacy
OF his political faith to have been sincere. His
worst enemy was himself. Quietly let him sleep.
This Island is to be invaded. Walkers real
purpose is to get foothold upon it. Such the
belief in New Orleans, in Nicaragua, and large
portion of the North. Thus docs the New York
Times state the case.
The policy of the Administration is obvious.
1t was to purchase Cuba failing in that, to ssise
it, under certain circumstances. Before the
great war broke out, the Administration was
inert after it was in full blast it refused to en-
dorse the Ostend manifesto. Marcy carried the
day in the Cabinet.
But change occurred suddenly in the views
of the Administration. 1t had refused to re-
ceive Walkers Minister; without apparent cause,
it gave him the usual official welcome. 1t re-
cognized thereby the Government of Nicaragua
as an existing fact. Mr.. Buchanan's nomination
followed at Cincinnati-(he was the author of
the Ostend Manifesto,) and now we have United
States Senator A. G. Browns letter, declaring
that the possession of Cuba might be &c nation
al necessity" and announcing that he-James
Buchanan-"is as much entitled to Southern
confidence and Southern votes as Mr.. Calhoun
himself.''
This all looks one way. Every act shows that
the seizure of Cuba is the plan. But a direct
invasion from the United States must be avoided !;
hence Walker must be used, and hence, too, the
sudden change in the policy of the Adminstra-
ton. If Buchanan succeeds, Walker will. The
necessity of the seizure will then become fixed
sact.
kAHsAs.-Border Rufianism is having fine
time down in this detected and abused Territory.
AS a sequel to what is going on, we quote the
following from one of the Leavenworth papers !:
Let as be up and dOing---let no quarter be
giren, but tcdr TO THE DIFFERENTIATION OF
THE MISCREANTS, BE THE WORD"
Will the North look complacently on and do
nothing?
The EXTRA SEssIoN.-The extra session of
Congress, called by the President, is simply to
force the House into the action of the Senate,
and strike out the amendment of the House which
refuses to pay that portion of the army in Kan
sas which had been employed to suppress the
Free State men. We hope the members of the
House will stand firm and not yield an inch.
GERMANS IN SLAVE STATE.-Notwithstan
nnton has sent forth his Bull not to run Free
', ont electoral ticket in Missouri, the Germans
are by no means intimdated but are determined
to fight for Freedom at all hazards. The Anzei-
ger tells the Republican very plainly, that if q
Fremont ticket is run, it shall give it its most
earnest support. The Germans of Kentucky are
just tenacious as those Of Missouri--wth their
well-known love of Liberty how can they be 9TH
erwise?
SCN LIGHT AND HEART LIGHr.--Thisis charm
ing little volume of poems, from the pen of Rev.
S. Dryden Phelps, of New Haven, Connecticut.
1t breathes sweetness and gentleness, and pos
sesses much poetic merit. We have only time to
glance at few pieces, but We find in them none
of that affectation which so mars the outgushings
Of the fancy, but strict fidelity to Nature
Among the g fugitves " we notice beautiful
I.ttlo &C ol,~l.o IL -
seen. When we can find time to read farther, We
will notice the book more at length--n the mean
time purchase copy of G. Hamilton & Co., and
read it.
Hollow BRIcKs.-Amongstt the improved build
ing materials we notice the introduction Of hol-
low bricks into the New York market. These
form a vacuum in the wall, and save furrowng
and lathing. "They are" says the Tribune,
"rapidly coming into use. We have seen some
of the new sand and lime bricks patented by Mr..
Foster, which are made on this principle. AS
cqualisers of the temperature they must be very
desirable. Houses built of them will be not on
ly cooler in summer, but warmer in winter.''
CO Ex-Governor Reeder, who is now living
sick at the Merchants Hotel, Philadelphia, has
had severe attack of paralysis, which affects
one whole side of his body.
The GREATEST CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER IN THE
UNION FOR FREMoNT.--The venerable Judge Kent.
known throughout the legal world by his com.
mentaries on the Constitution, presided at Free
mont meeting at Eshkill landing, New York, on
Tuesday last. The New York Times truly saws.
"Let not the enemies of Republicanism pirate of
unconstitutional sectionalism when the venerable
Judge Kent lends to Freedom his aid.o
CyF Hamilton Co. have laid upon our table
the September number of Harper, which, as usu.
al, is filled with good things. The embellish-
ments are very fine, while the articles upon which
they treat, enlist and hold the attention of the
reader Hamilton & Co., have large variety of
good books, besides all the monthies and peri.
odicals published in the East.
CoNrSG.-The Chicago, St. Paul and Fon du
Lac Railroad is coming, having reached within
eight miles of GAINESVILLE, and it is thought that
the cars will enter that place by the first of Sep.
TENDER.
