Reminiscence Of jefferson.

Mr.. Jefferson's great height and
slender figure exposed him to much
ridicule from his opponents His So
briquet with them was "Long Tom;"
and when bis famous project Of the
substitution Of gun-boats in place Of
a navy was adopted by Congress and
the attempt was made to put it in
to practice. the cannon, dispropor-
tionably large, with which each of
the i'll constructed craft was burden
ed, obtained in contempt, the name
of q along Tom" Nothing could
presenta more singulur contrast than
the figures of Mr.. Jefferson and Gen
eral Knox--the one very short, as
thick as he was long; the other lank
and lean, and unusually tall. They
happened to meet one morning on
the steps Of Gen. Washington's
lodgings, in Philadelphia. The two
gentlemen approached contrariwise;
and arriving at the same moment, a
contest in etiquette took place. -
The General at the head Of the army,
and full Of its chivalrous politeneas,
could not think ofpassiDg in before
the co-equal head Of the Department
Of State. while the civil officer o
/ government was equally averse te
take precedence of the military
and they stood for some moments
each drawing back and waving thu
other forward. In the midst Of thu
somewhat entertaining scene came
up, directly in front, the notorious
J Judge Peters. the greatest wit Of hi
day. Perceiving how matters stood
and casting a sly glance from one t.
the other, he pushed boldly between

1t is an authenticated fact that du-
ring the terrible massacre in Paris, in
which many eminent Christians were
cruelty killed, the celebrated preacher
P. Moulin was preserved for further
usefulness to the cause of the gospel
in a most remarkable manner. He
erept into a brick oven to conceal
himself but had no hope of remain
ing undiscovered in the ferreting
search for slaughter that was
carried on. In the kind providence
of God, a spider Immediately erawled
to the opening of the good mans
retreat and wove a web across it. The
dsst blew upon the airy screen and
made it dingy, so that the place ap-
peared to have beenlong unfrequented.
The enemies of the Christians soon
passed by and one of them earelessly
remarked, mo one can have been in
that oven for several daysI"

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Goy. Geary left
Lecompton this afternoon for the upper
counties, for the purpose of meeting Col.
Cooke, Deputy Marshal Preston, and the
two hundred and fifty Free State men
who have just been arrested by their or
der. What course he viii take in regard
to their party, is not vet known. But as
he has not disarmed a single Pro slavery
man, it is believed that he will not en-
dorse the arrest Of these men who come
into Kansas, bringing arms and NUM-
lions of war, for the defence Of them
selves and their friends.
y most heart-rending outrage was per-
petratcd upon an American citizens, by
a captain in the u. $. army a few DAYS
since, while q company Of dragons were
on their way up to the Nebraska line,
they met two Free State men on foot
These men We're stopped by order of
Capt. Anderson, questioned as to move
ments and intentions Of the expected
party OF cmigrants. One of the men be-
came frightened, and told all he knew
about them. The othcrretuScd to reply
to any of the questions put to him.
Capt. Anderson became very much IN
cens"d i'll consequence of this man $ re-
tuSal to answer impertincnt questions.
and ordered him to be tied up TO Il wheel
and fifty lashes given him upon his back.
This charge against Capt. Andersen can
be substantiatrd by the best Ct testimo-
ny, and an inquiry into his conduct
should at once be made by the proper
authorities, and if found guilty, the vii
lain should be punished ion the infamous
deed. But the victim was ''oniy id
Free State State man and probably de-
served the thrashing, and GOT it," ana
because he loves Freedom better than
slavery, the outrage upon his person viii
go unpublished.
The Couct Of Judge Lecompte was
opened to-day at Lccompton. Mc>srs.
Marcus !. Parott and Stephens appear
ed for the defence. and Dir. Grover for
the prosecution. This court is to try
over Ouc hundred men under arrest on a
charge OF murder committed At Hickory
Point few weeks since, when q battle
came off between the two parties The
invaders were whipped and the Free
State men arrested by the L. $. troops
The list af Grand and Petit Jurors was
called, and they were all with a single
exception, the most ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
i'll Kansas. And from such Court and
such 4 Jury, can justice be expected for
free State men? The Marshall has sue
ceeded in packing most admirable jury
to convict the prisoners, and by so doing
carry out the policy Of the present Adj
to "subdue the people"
There not being the requisite number
Of grand jurors present the court adj
jouned until tomorrow morning at

The Result in Pennsylvania and its
Gausn

Benjamin f. Butler, Esq, of Lowell
the most knowing and influential man
in the Buchanan ranks III Massachusetts,
and one Of the delegates to the Conven-
ton 1T Cincinnati, said, Yesterday, while
speaking Of the Pennsylvania election,
that it would befoundthat twenty thou
sand members Of the Order Of United
Americans, who had been reckoned, up
to the day of the election, as Fillmore
men, had voted the Buchanan state
ticket
This statement comes from good au-
thority, and what is more to the pur-
pose, it is intrinsieally probable Up
on no other ground can the immense
Buchanan majoritics in the eastern
counties be accounted for. The Fill
more party, By the acknowledgement
Gifts leaders, has only one lni>sionin this
contest, and that is to '.kill the Black
Republicans. Its leaders are under
pay Of the Buchanan party, and they
have transferred thousands of voters into
the ranks Of the pro-Slavery democracy.

HOW IT WAS DOME.

Some interesting facts in connection
with the late election in Pennsylvania
have just transpired, tending to show
that, thus faratleast, the Buchaniers have
not got any Of their victories at bar
gain.
We are credibly informed that, but n
short time previous to the late election,
Mr.. Belmont, connection of Mr.. Sill
delfs, renewed his subscription of $780,
600, the price of the mission which he
now holds at the Hague; that one of the
largest banking houses in Wall street

other sourceS) advanced 5000 more.
towards the fund for which Shdell's NEE
tings at the New York Hotel were held;
and that a levy of thirty per cent. was
made on the salaries of every officer in
the Custom House, some eight hundred
In number averaging about one thou
sand dollars each, and making in all, say
twenty-four thousand dollars At the
last payday ut the Navy Y ard also, it is
reported that one dollar was taken from
each OF the day laborers, to swell the
fund which had been called for to meet
the eMgencies ofthe Buchaniersin Penn
Sylyania. If, as is altogether probable,
all the public officers have been assessed
in this style, not less than a million OF
dollars must have been raised Tor the late
andeominge elections. We have omitted,
In the foregoing statement, the $4,000
and upwards subscribed at Mr.. Slidell's
meeting at the New York Hotel, and
voluntary contributions from other sour
ces, not enumerated. 1t is generally
supposed that not less than quarter Of
a million Of dollars were expended in
Pennsylvania alone to secure the meaore
victory, if it be a victory, which they
have achieved. Our enemies in the
Revolution paid $50 head for Hessians,
which was thought pretty high in that
day, but the war against Freedom now
IS wagcd upon far more extensive and
liberal scale, but, we venture 70 predict,
with equally disastrous results.
As the field of battle clears up, and the
Republicans see what eXhausting efforts
the BUCCANEERS, with all the prestige Of
a perfect organization to support them.
have made, to barely hold the state of
Pennsylvania, they are filed with new
life and are fuller of fight than ever
They believed before, that they could
carry the state; they now see exactly
how they can carry it. The BUCCANEERS,
on the other hand, have nearly exhaus-
ted their strength and their funds, in
winning a victory which neither insDiritS
them nor dispirits their adyersaries.-
They are practically beaten, and all that
it is now needed is frmness, vigorous
canvass of the state byafew sensibIemen

against frauds at the ballot boX, and am
pie facilities for bringing voters to the
polls. All these precautions will be at

convinced that the preservation of this

MEssRs EDIToRs:-The smoke of battle be-
gins to clear away SO that we can see the effect,
and by calling the roll count the dead, wound
ed and missing. Ohio comes out with victory
emblazoned on her helmet, victory on the side
of Freedom. Nor will she repose on her lau-
rels SO nobly won after of the hardest con-
tests ever engaged in, but Will press forward
the vantage ground they now hold until another
and more signal victory crowns their efforts by
the total route of the BUCCANEERS on the 4th of
November.
The popular vote of the State is not less than
twenty-five or thirty thousand majority. The
Democrats have succeeded in tho election of six
Representatives to Congress, neither of whom
but have a minority vote Of their district. In
our city we were badly whipped. Emigrants
but that day landed, as l am informed were
brought to the polls and cast their vote for ex-
tending the Blessings of the peculiar InSttat!on.
Our district has stood firm and reelected the
indomitable quaker, Mott, by respectable ma
jerity over the most popular Democrat in the
district Edgerton who has heretofore represent
ed it in Congress.
From Indiana the news is less agre eable;-
The State has gene over to the enemies of Free
dom by five or eight thousand, with large gain
on Congressman. Pennsylvania too is lost
None but the most sanguine could have hoped
for her. though there are not wanting those who
are strong IN the belief that she will redeem
herself from the thradom of Locofocoism on the
4th. Tho question will be clear of local and
extraneous causes, and it is said that the Quaker
vote will be out to its full strength, all on the
side of Freedom, while but few voted at the
State election. 1t is hoped and believed by
many that Indiana Will come up to the work
with an earnestness that will not admit of de-
feat and range herself with the rest of the
states from the N. w. Territory in upholding
the correctness of the doctrine indicated by
the ordinance of'S9.
Freemen should never be disheartened, but
when defeated look about them to see where
they were at fault and rensw the conflict with

probable that parties Of men will be en-

We understand that it is decided to
make such Improvements at Neenah as
will afford good passage for boats
