I Hon. David X. Cartier, of Ohio, (then as now
| prominent Democrat, bat then Pierce Dem
ocrat, now for Fremont, said:
ssPersonally, know Col. Fremont but very
slightly. have had the honor of an introduc-
tion to him. lie is small man. but he is as
gallant rs any mass of stuff OF the same size
that ever was wrapped in a coat that would fit
him. And, Sir, he met combination of enc
mics such as very few Of the public servants OF
this Republic have ever met. Both enemies
that man presents and enemies that God pre-
sents-mountain enemies, ravine enemies, en-
emles of frost and of heat and of fasting
Now do not think that a man who has mar
ched for week feeding on green hides and
on the skeletons of worn-out and diseased
mules, would cheat his Government out of
twenty or forty thousand dollars. Ny own o.
plnlon is. that when man has garnered up
reputation by deeds of almost unparalleled
peril, he would want to transmit it undefiled
to his posterity, and that twenty thousand dol
lars would have no more influence upon him
than twenty cents. That is my appreciation
of such service as Fremont's. Ii is not like
sitting cross-legged up here in one of those
bureaus. 1t was enough for him to know that
that part Of this continent belonged to the u
nited States; that they put upon him the per-
IL OF exploring it that he was desired by his
Government to make the way open to the thou
sands who were to follow it to fortune, and TO
ueHhe state That In magic time would be-
come an empire. Sir, You might as well nm
dertake to seperate Fremont's soul from his
body by your action here-he being three
thousand miles distant-as to Separate FREE
mont's fame from the fame of the Pacific side
of the Republic
The bill passed-Yeas, IS; Nays, 49-the
latter being about the usual number who vote
against every private claim, no matter how
obviously just. Nobody then questioned Col.
Fremont's honesty-even Mr.. .Toombs express
ly disclaimed any such intention. Congress
found a sum justly due to Col. f., and ordered
it to be paid, as it did larger sum on a differ
ent account two years later. And now. if the
Pro-Slavery advocates think fhey can make
anything out of ripping up these scruiinized
and settled accounts, they are welcome to go
ahead. s-

st. Paul, Minnesota, is now said to have
population Of ten-thousand souls. In the year
l849 it did not contain FIVE hundred. During
the present season twenty-eight thousand per-
sons stopped at three of the principal hotels
Thus this town is rapidly becoming the lead
ing city north and west OF Chicago, while 9th

ten times more conspicuously in the newspa-
pers. 1t occupies an admirable position, at
the head of steamboat navigation ON the Ms

bids fair to become one of the second class
cities of the Union.

DISRUPTION OF THE UNIoN.-Thc outragcs
IN Kansas have more significance than would
at first attract the attention. They are brutal
enough God knows, but there is master
cloud behind all which may not have been con-
sidered. The ST. Louis Democra. alluding to
the course OF the border ruffians, saws the pur-
pose of the leaders in the movement is to bring
about dissolution of the Union, and the crea-
tion of confederacy of slave States. We
copy from the journal referred 10 =
''The majority of those citizens in Missouri
who have become enlisted in the present con-
test, which is now waging to secure the occu-
patton of Kansas to the South are sincere and
earnest in their partizanship, we fully believe;
but that there are others, and those high in
command-the Atchisons, the StringfelIows
end their disciples-who have been imported
in companies from the southern States, who
are inflicted with no such hallucinations-wh
care nothing or very little for the minor ques-
tion OF slavery or freedom in the territories
and who have their eyes fixed upon graver is
sues and more revolutionary results. With
them the present forays are but skirmishes
preparatory to the great BATTLE in which they
hope TO see this Union dissolved at a blow.
and upon its ruins to emerge the chiefs Of
southern empire.''

The Wheat Crop, of the present year, is es-
timated by the Cincinnati Price Current at ten
per cent. increase upon any former years, and
it makes an estimate of the quantity raised in
the several States, emitting those not worth
counting. With crop like this, and we see
no reason to doubt the calculation, and with
large surplus of last years crop on hand, we
may, we should think, defy famine for this
wear.

CURIOUS HIsToRIcAL FAcT.-The wife of the
celebrated Lord Clarendon, the author of the
History of the Rebellion, was Welsh pot-cirl
who being extremely poor in her own coun-
try, journeyed to London to better her fortune,
and became servant to brewer While she
was IN this humble capacity, the wife of her
master died, and he happening to fix his alIec-
tions on her she became his wife, Himself
dyihg soon after, left her heir to his property.
which IS said to have amounted to between
f20.O00 and 100000. Amongst those who
iTeqaented the tap at the brewery was n Mr..
Hyde, then poor barrister, who conceived
the pr'ject of forming matrimonial alliance
with her. He succeeded, and soon led the
brewers widow to the altar. Mr.. Hyde being
endowed with great talent, and now at the
command of large fortune, quickly rose in
his profession, becoming head of the Chance
ry bench, and was afterwards the celebrated
Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. The eldest dauch-
ter, the offspring of this union, won the heart
of James, Duke of York, and was married to
him. Charles IL sent Immediately for his
brother, and having first piled him with some
very sharp raillery the subject, finished bv

the II. mounted the throne, but premature
death frustrated this enviable consummation

wife Of William III. and Queen Anne. both
grandchildren of the CT deuant pot-girl from
Wales, and wearing in succession the crown
of England.

SALE OF KANSAS LANDs.-The President of
the United States has issued a proclamation
ordering a sale of public lands in Kansas Ter
ritory, the sale TO take place at Fort Leaven-
worth, commencing on Monday, the Goth of
October. These lands have been classified
and appraised, and will not be sold for less
than the appraised value. The towns and cit
les laid out on these lands will be sold in lots
and blocks. The number of acres to be offer
ed for sale is about two hundred and eight
thousand eight hundred and thirty three, and
the quality of land unsurpassed, perhaps, by
any other equal body of land in the United
States; and the location of the tract, lying
and being around Fort Leayenworth, is very
eligible, and most desirable for a residence.
Hon. JOHN MOORE, of Warren county, New
Jersey, has written n letter announcing his in
tention to support and vote for Col. Fremont
Judge Moore has always been identified with
the Hunker Democratic party in his State, en-
loving an influence in local and county poll
tics amounting almost to dictatorship. The
present announcement of his purpose will pro-
duce important results in that part of New
