Talking Out.

While the proposition to levy tax on
the owners of negroes, and appropriate
$50, 600 from the Treasury, to pay the
expense of immigrants from Georgia to
Kansas, was pending before the Legisla-
ture, Mr. Harris obtained the floor, and
said: islo-e1z ..
''1t is proposed under the broad seal of
Georgia to embark the State in colonial
ton. But. Sir, l ask is it wise, is it po-
litic, is itprudent, admitting it were not
wrong, toship from the State of Georgia,
by extraordinary means, those arms and
hearts upon which she now relies? The
brains, the muscles, the hearts of her
sons, are her property. They are the
bulwarksls and the ramparts, behind
which our wives, our daughters and our
children sleep in peace and tranquility.
These. our defenders, are proposed to be
sent from our borders. But ask gen.
tlemen upon this floor If it is their policy
to adopt such system of depepulation?
1t will De urged before this House that
the biz has peculiar merit-that it pro-
poses 70 send to Kansas the poor and des-
titute, who may there find homes and
fortunes. Sir, this is no argument with
me. Why ship off the destituta-why
them? Are we not able to suppors them?
Let Me records of the State attest that
Georgia careth for her poor. Are gen.
tlsmen afraid to trust them? For one. I
doubt not their devotion-I fear not to
Ifely upon them in the day of trial. But,
Sir, would ask what special reasons
have they to maintain the institution of
slavery In Kansas? !? know, Sir, that /
approach delicate ground but fear not
to take 1T, conscious, as am, of the
truth of my position. hold it. Sir, to
be philosophically true. that the system
of slave labor is antagonistic to the sys-
tenn Of free labor, in the organization OF
Territories and that in proportion as
you increase the number of laborers, you
diminish their wages. Apply these
truths to the present case. and the con-
clusions are plain to every man, viz: that
he who owns no slaves in Kansas, has
nothing 10 the contrary being shown

"Charles Dickens is incomparabiy the
greatest, purest, and safest of the writers
of fiction of the present day; that he
ever uses the form of fiction merely as
the vehicle of moral and philanthropic
instruction that with all his faults, he
has been and is an effective reformer OF
abuses. a friend of the poor, difuser OF
democratic principles, and fosterer of
every manly virtue and elevating princl-
pie. we believe, no candid reader will
deny. His works have attained such a
position in English literature, and are
exerting so wide, and on the whole, so
good an influence, that they assert a place
in every well-appOinted library, and more
than any contemporary fiction, are worthy
of perusal." -N 7. Evangelist.
"There is a fascination in Dickens
writings, that is found in no other works
of fiction. The simplicity of his style,
his strict adherence to nature, his always
advocating the cause of the lowly, and
his ever being on the side of virtue, is
what gives his works their worldwide
circulation, and which they so richly de-
serve; for he has not written line that
he need wish blotted, or that any one can
regret having read."-Daig Capital

The Presidents Message and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The report
of the Secretary of the Treasury is in
the hands of the printers. Copies of it
will be sent off at the same time with
the advance copies of the Presidents
Message. The collectors of the North
ern cities will deliver copies to the press.
The Treasury Report is the only one
that is to be distributed in advance.
The Panama business has not yet been
arranged.
The Cabinet were in session to-day,
hearing read the proof sheets of the Fl
ance Report, the most of which is now
in type. The report is unusually lengthy
and very able, embracing an entirely new
feature, viz: Railroad Statistics. At a
cost of much labor these statistics have
been procured and arranged, showing the
cost, length, character, revenues and ex-
penses of about three-fourths of all the
railroads in the United States. The most
profitable roads in the Union, save two
or three in the West, are in the States Of
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and
Georgia.
The Secretary of War will allude only
I
to the operations of the Crimean Com
mission, under Capt. McClelland, the re-
port of the latter not being yet complet-

Sultation with the Secretary to-day. The
Secretary's report will not be completed
before Monday. The same is true Of

The San Francisco Bulletin, OF the

turn of the State in time for the sailing

ct has been carried in this county by an
overwhelming majority. Our county
Legislature ticket will in all probability
be Republican. The county electoral
vote is for Buchanan"
The Alta California of the 9TH says:
The election yesterday was, perhaps,
the first fair and faithful expression of
public opinion ever made at the ballot
box in San Francisco. But little fraud
was attempted, certainly none commit
ted. Our citizens had adopted the most
admirable and perfect arrangements for
the protection of their rights. The boxes
were all glass; the judges and inspect
ors good, reliable men, and the volunteer
police men who knew their duty and dare
perform it. Rowdyism was at an extra
ordinary discount. The Caseys and Null
lgans were missing; and but for the in
reference of that chief of tyrants, Old
Alcohol, we do not believe there would
have been case of fight in any of the
districts. Our citizens have reason tc
rejoice over the victory they have gained
against the enemies that but little while
ago surrounded them. The rule of cor
ruption has passed away, and we are
once more free and sovereign people,

a late narrative of travels in Russia
contains the following illustration of re-
ligious fervor in that country. A lady on
leaving a private party in St. Petersburg
at rather advanced hour in the morning,
called droshkee, and having given d.
rections to the driver, the latter proceed
ed to her home, as she thought, instead
of which he drove her to rather desert
ed part Of the city, when he suddenly
turned round and cut her throat, the sa-
ble-lined cloak in which she was envel-
oped, having excited his cupidity. Hav-
ing Invested her of this, he dragged the
body to the brink of the canal and threw
her into it. He then folded up the cloak
and laid it on the seat. On his way
back to the stand he was hailed by a gen
tleman, and however reluctant, obliged tc
take him as a passenger. The gentleman
not only noticed the cloak, but touching
it, found his fingers stained with blood
He said nothing till he reached police
station, where, having ordered the driver
to stop, he gave him into custody or
suspicion. The gentleman happened tc
be the husband of the lady, and by the
light recognized the cloak as belonging
to his wife. The tragedy happened dur.
ing lent, when meat is forbidden. The
man confessed the crime. The murdered
lady had a little basket with her which
contained pie. Having been asked
why he had not eaten the pie, How
could | think of eating the pie ? replied

BUCCANEERS were celebrating their victo-

horribly mangled. Mr.. Clarke when
taken up, was alive and conscious, but
he expired at ii p. m.
One other man was injured, but he
escaped with a slight burning of the
face.
