THE IssUE.-Col. Benton in a letter to the St.
Louis Democrat, makes the following thoughtful
comparison of the all-prevading Kansas ques-
ton:
What the Holy land was to the Saracens and
Crusaders, what the Crmea has been to the
Russians and the Allies, the scene of their ex-
ploits and the theatre of their struggles, Kan
sas is to the Northern & Southern coalitions in
Congress; it is now the camping and fighting
ground of these parties, and will be the burying
ground of the defeated, for no political future
for those who have chosen the wrong side. The
total overthrow and subjugation of one of the
combatants is the only sole guarantee of peace.
The old policy of dividing new territory between
the slave and free States will be established, or
the new policy of the Kansas-Nebraska bill (Which
ignores the state in behalf ofindivduals) confirm.
ed by the issue of the contest. AS n national
question, the Kansas problem is invested with
an absorbing interest but in Missouri it has add
ed interest OF local question. The position
which st. Louis will maintain in relation to the
contending parties, will show whether she will
be true to the instinct and the genius of COM
merce, or be held enthralled by the feudal tur-
bulent spirit Of the border. The teudal spirit
which is manifested so strongly in the frontier
is at war with the spirit of commerce as much in
the nineteenth century, as it was in the thir'
teenth when cities had arisen defiance of the ter
ritorial power revived the arts and sciences, and
rekindled the smouldering embers of more an
cient liberty, which sacred fire they have trans
mitted to modern times.

NEW Discovery TO PREVENT CONTEMPLATING.
The New York Journal of Commerce says a
new invention called 'Seropyan's Patent Bank
Notes. designed to prevent counterfeiting of all
descriptions, is attracting much attention in
money circles. 1t is said to be absolutely proof
against Photographic, anastetic, photographic,
transferring, photo-electrotyping, or any other
chemical process by which the public is so fire.

depends upon the character of the ink employ

dients of the ink are kept secret with the design
of preventing counterleiting by new plate en-
cravings. certificate is published signed by
all the most eminent scientific professors in
Yale College, in which it is said that the method
is perfect protection against counterfeiting by
photography, and the anastetic process, and al
so alteration by erasion or otherwise The pa

will follow. The note presents tinted yellow

note is printed, with compounded ink of blush.

OLD AGE-N. P. Willis makes the following

OLD AGE.-N. P. Willis makes the following
just remarks upon the present state of things
among u.s. in regard to old age:
The neglected portion of the great American
family is old age-wc are sorry to say. Not
thst as nation are disrespectful to the DID, or
that they are denied or grudged anything. We
perform the negative duty to them by avoiding
all which shall occasion to them offence or depri-
vation-but we do not perform the positive du-
ty of assiduosly seeing that they occupy, always
and only, the places of honor and prominence;
nor more particularly, do we study to contrive,
untiringly and affectionately, how to comfort,
strengthen, cheer and recuperate them. The
old man in one house may have his chair in the
drawing room, and his place at the table, and
be listened to when he speaks and obeyed when
he commands. But in another house he will
have his easy chair cushioned and pillowed, and
his arm chair at the table, and the cook will be
busted most with what will newly nourish or re-
fresh his more delicate appetite; while all listen
to his first words, and address conversation to
him as acentre, and eagerly seek for his COM
mand as an authority. This 1--WE assure the read
er, from our own well weighed observation in
both countries, is fair picture of the difference
between old age in America and old age in Eng
land. We have been sad to admit this, to the
commenting traveller
It's an unconscious fault in our country-an
oversight of our life too busy, our attention too
oyertasked, and our plans of home and pleasure
| too unsettled and immature-but the feeling
| for better things is in US, and time will bring
| this Feeling into this action.

Among the passengers by the Atroato, which ar

Our correspondent says:
III IL generally thought here that the differ.

Lord Clarendon has been laying an anchor to

We see no objection to submitting questions

CAUSE OF THE CoLp.-In a communication in
the Scientific American, Mr. T. Barrows, of Ded-
ham, Mass, abiding to the intense cold of this
winter, states that he never saw the sky so bril-
liant and clear by day and night before. He
attributes the cause of the cold to the hundreds
of tons of powder which have been burned al
Sebastopol, and other places, having put into
circulation larger quantities of nitrous gas. '.If
satpetre and salammoniac," he says, ''be put into
a given quantity of water at so deg, it will re-
duce its temperature so deg" He therefore
concludes that the gases of the exploded gum
powder named have exerted great cooling
influence upon the atmosphere both in Eu-
rope and America. On account Of the pure
cold air this winter, he is of opinion that chole-
IA, yellow fever, and the potatoe rot will not be
SO prevalent during the present, as in former
years.
