Kansas Territory.

1 We clip the following from the Aempnis Bulletin: A4
 "St. Loa;s, Sept 20.
 Late accounts from Kansas state that Gene ral Reid's men would go to Lawrence, and their await the commands of Gov. Geary, having en- rolled themselves as newly organized militia 10 become citizens of the territory. The nsur- gents have disbanded, and Lane, with loo men, is returning towards Iowa, with stCclen horses and property"
 Lane, the thief and coward never marched into the territory until he learned the failure of the army bill to pass Congress and thought the people in defenseess condition. Now that the army bill has passed, and he is likely to meet opposition to his trailorous and thievng attempts, he is the first man to fly. He runs, however, with his hands full of stolen property, of course. t
 We find in the Memphis Bulletin, the fol- lowing-still later:
 "St Louis, Sept. 20
 The steamer Polar Star brings later advices, which state that fifty southerners, under Gap tain Robinson, were attacked by some hundred aboitionists at Hickory Point, and one souther- ner killed and nearly all wounded. Twelve aboltionists were killed and 70 wounded. The next day Robinson's company defeated 100 aboitionists at Grasshopper, killing two and capturing their plunder."
 We doubt not peace will soon be restored to "bleeding Kansas" and now is the time for emigrants to move into the territory. There u,;ll ha no mora war in KanHaS Our army will protect the settlers until after the Presidential election, and then, as the motive for dstur- bances will be gone, perpetual peace will reign. Let our people hasten on emgrants to the ter rtory. Kansas can be made slave State, and our inactivity is actually criminal.

HF The late Dr. Wilson, senior fellow O Trinity College, Dublin, though a very gray, man himself, was very fond of quizzing anc puzzling the country people who came to in- quire after their friends and relations in the College One day, seeing man standing in the court with letter in his hand, gaping and star ing about not knowing where to go he walk ed gravely up to him and inquired what he wanted. The man answered:
 "Sir, can you tell me where l may ind MT. Dalahunts?"
 "Yes," said the doctor, edo you see that building before you?" "Yes."
 "Then cruelty this quadrangle, and take the diameter of the plot beyond 1t; enter the open- ing before you, ascend the ligneous grades, then turn to your left and you will find him either peripatouning in his cubicile, dormitatins in his lectuary, or perescopounting through his fenestra" The poor man, who understood nothing of this, and remembered not one word but the last said:
 "And pray, sir, what is the fenestra?'
 To which the doctor replied "1t is an oriice in an ed6ce to admit lumi- nous particles"
 "Ah, thank you," said the poor felow-and he walked of more perplexed than before.

AMERICAN FIRE ARMS FOR FOREIGN CoUN TRIEs-The New York Journal of Commerce, in an article on the manufacture of fire arms in America, says:
 The Sharpe's Rifle Manufacturing Company at Windsor, Vt, has contracted with the En- glish Government for the delivery of 7,OOO Sharpe's rifles and 25,OOO Minnie rifles, and their is a prospect of receiving an order for 5OOOO more, when this is completed The same es- tablishment have made, at their factory in Wind- sor, and sent to England, within few months, about $5O,OOO worth of machinery besides a large quantity of tools made at Hartford Last winter the Ames Manufacturing Company ex- ccuted an order from England for gun stocks to the value of $5OOOO; also another of similar character from private parties, but understood to have been on account of the Russian Govern ment. At the present time gun stocks to the value of between $2O,O0O and S3O, ,OOO are mak- ing for a firm in London. A great variety of other work is being executed by this company. We notice quantity of elegant plated ware for the new Collins steamer Adriatic, and a cor siderable order from the Peruvian Government for swords adapted 10 horse artillery.

The FusiOll.

The Gazette is very indignant about the article going the rounds representing fusion of the Fillmore and Fremont electoral ticket in Indiana, and quotes extensively from the 1 Louisville Journal to show there is no fusion. Well, it may be there is none on the electo- ral ticket but we do know there is perfect fusion on the State and congressional ticket. What is the difference? The Know Nothings of Indiana are helping the black republicans to elect an abolition Governor, an abolition legis. difference? They have fused to defeat the na- tional democracy. No great injustice has been done them in the representations about the electoral ticket There are several vacancies in the Fillmore electoral ticket in Indiana and they have not been filled. The truth is, before the 4th of November there will be fusion, foI both sides are aboring to that end. Know Nottingham in all the northern States is aboli- tionzed, and the national democracy are fight ing both Know Nothings and black republicans on the abolition question.
 | HoN. B. F. HALLETT.-The Gazette has re- peated the charge against this gentleman the draughtsman of the democratic patform that he said, He'll was too comfortable place for slave holder"
 Mir. Halett, in letter to one of the editors of the Nashville Union, says, this charge lis a, ,nnlitgatei falsehood. The proftmty t contains IS no less abhorrent to my hahts ef utterance han its maignancy IS tO my feelings tor n,y teiio,o- citt e'ss of the Soath."
 So much for another one of the Gazette, falsehoods; unable object to the democratic plat form itself, it tries to fasten falsehoods upon the author of it.
 Mr. Hallett reported the democratic platform at Baltimore, in lS48. The Gazette then found no fault with the man. Now, since it has be come sworn Know Nothing, it sees all man. ner of objections to him. How changed

WHITE FOLKS SHOWED BACK TO MAKE RooM FOR NIGGERs.-The last number of the Mar. tinsville Monitor gives the following incident, which occurred at the Fremont barbecue in Morgan county, Michigan:
 " The most characteristic part of the whole affair occurred at the table: A mechanic who had hitherto been a strong Fremont man, was on the ground with his wife and child. At a given word he attempted to cross the rope to the table; but was met by one of the marshals and told to stand back and give room for the ladies. He stepped back as he was told, when seven or eight women, AS BLACK AS THE ACE OF sPADEs,' advanced before him to the table and ate with the rest of the Fremont ladies and gentlemen. This was too much for him. He tore the Fremont badge from his breast, and swore that although he was poor mechanic, he was yet a little better than negro. He said that if he and his wife were to be thrust back from Fremont barbecue to give place to negroes, he no longer was Fremont man; and immedately y stamped the Fremont badge under his feet and declared his intention to vote for Buchanan. We are informed that four or five others did likewise. It is said not less than twenty negroes ate at the first table,"

A Coop STORY ABOUT VICTORIA AM A, BERT.-The following was picked upby alets, writer of the New York Times:
 Prince Albert, it seemeth, did once oct into bad habits of staying out late at night and ro, coming home till morning, whereat her maies,v his wife, grew much anxious and grieved i, was not certain that he was at the cider caua. nor could she prove that he did not come homo in proper condition, for she endeavored to cal into his rooms on some such occasions and fail. ed most signally. By way of episode the story is that the reason of her failure was this
 She knocked and said Albert open to your Queen"
 But Albert was silent
 "Albert, your Queen is at the door," No reply
 And she tried morning after morning. until one day, after trying that form of address seve. ral times, she suddenly bethought her to say. "Albert will you let Victoria n?' Whereupon the door flew open and she rushed into his arms nstanter. But his breath was unimpeachable that morning, though he had come home some. where about the small hours.
 It wouldn't do, and she tried new plan.- She ordered the gates of Windsor to be closed
 
 out calling her, and then she went to her room All night she waited, but no husband came, and after brief doze sent for the keeper of the gates, and learned that the Prince had come home at three or four, and learning her orders had left word that he would by no means dis. turb her, and went his way for jolly night of it.
 This occurred again the next night and the next morning His Grace the Duke of Welling. ton was startled at an early hour by a visit from His Royal Hishness. His Grace the Duke drove out rapidly to Lord Somebody's, and taking him up proceeded to the Hon MT. Banks and council was held. The question was important: "Can the Queen lock Prince Albert out?' It bothered the dgntarics.- They had no precedents, and so they decided it as any five men, or four, three, two or one would decide it, by saying, "Of course notn and so the gates were left open and the Prince had his evenings to himself, as any good Dutch, man that loves lager bier ought to have,
