say they cannot sustain us in tho posi-

ment, and you will find, think, that Dou-

you to und srstand me distinctly that do not

speak my plain and private opinion in letters
to our friends in Kansas for 1t is my duty
but to the public, as you will see by my pub
lished letter, show no divided front"
Gov Reeder's sensible advice has been dis
regarded, and the consequence is tn at the abo-
litionists have drenched the Territory in blood.
1t was the plain duty of the authorities to
execute the laws at all hazards, in doing
which they met with armed resistance, which
armed resistance has already become a civil
war, the sbclitionists being now engaged all
over the Territory as armed bands in plumber
ing, burning and numbering all supposed to
be opposed to their schemes who are surprised
in defenceless attitude.
Senator Buffers Speech has created q
deep impression on the minds of the public
men in Washington of all parties, being a
complete exposure of the charlatanism Of the
speech of Senator Sumner, to which. it is q
reply. The dignity, calmness, and respect
for the Senate characterizing all that Mr.. B.
took occasion to say, have greatly aided in
giving weight to his remarks. We invite the
attention Of our distant readers to his effort
if they would comprehend how thoroughly
the system of the Republican party managers
is based on Misrepresentation of the truth,
and the policy of dealing with the public on
the hypothesis that the majority are fools and
brutes, to be managed altogether by stufhng
their ears with monstrosities and infiaming
the worst passions of aggregated human ma
ture.

Feeder on the Kansas War.-The Albany
Argus and Atias publishes q private letter
from ex-Gov. Reeder to the Hon. Galusha A.
Grow, which embraces a powerful exposure of
the fact that the leaders of the rebellion in
progress there are aiming simply and know
ingly to subvert the authority of the United
States in the Territory. That while admit
ting among themselves that the Territorial gov
eminent is the rightful authority there, and,
that as such it should be obeyed by all good
citizens, they nevertheless have agreed among
themselves to deny these facts whom address
ing the public, and to stimulate the vicious,
thoughtless, and lawless in the Territory to
the work Of laboring to uproot the govern
ment by fire and sword. If any one doubt
these facts let him read the following extract
from Reeder's letter to Mr. Grow HA

About Eating.

The following advice is from DR.. Halls
Medical Journal. Who has not had suih-
cient experience to say amen to every word
below
Never sit down to the table with an anx-
ious or disturbed mind better a hundred
fold intormit that meal, for there will be
that much more food in the world for hun
grier stomachs than yours and besides,
eating under under such circumstances
can only, and will always aggravate the
condition of things.
Never set down to meal after an in
tense mental offort, for physical and men
tai injury is inevitable, and no man has a
right deliberately to injure body, mind
and estate.
Never 90 to full table during bodily
xhaustion-designated by some ::as be-
ing worn out, and tired to death, used up
and done over, and the like. The wisest
thing you can do, under the circumstan-
ces, is to take cracker and cup of tea,
either black or green, and no more. In
ten minutes you feel degree of refresh
ment and liveliness, which will be pleas
antly surprising to you not of the trans
int kind which glass of liquor affords,
but permanent; for the tea gives pleasant
stimulus and little strength, and before
it subsidies Hutriment begins to be drawn
from the sugar and cream and bread, thus
allowing the body, gradually, and by safe
degrees, to regain its usual vigor. Then,
in coup pie of hours, you may take a fullme
provided that it does not bring it later
than two hours before sundown; if later,
then take nothing for that day in addition
to the cracker and tea, and the next day
YOU will feel freshness and vigor never
before known.
No reader will be required to be advised
a second time who will make a trial as
above, and while it is fact of usual obser-
vation among intelligent physicians, that
eating heartily and under bodily exhaus-
ton, is not an unfrequent cause of alarm
inc and painful illness, and sometimes of
sudden death These things being so, let
every family make it point to assemble
around the family board with kindly feel
ing, with cheerful humor and courteous
spirit; and let that member be sent from
the table who presumes to mar the ought
to-be-blest reunion by sullen silence, or i'm
patient look or angry tone, or complaining

losophy in the old time customs of having

Discipline of the Mind.

1t is not by mere study, by mere ac-
cumulation of knowledge, that you can
hope for eminence. Mental discipline,
the exercise of the faculties of the mind
the quickening Of your apprehension, the
engthening of your memory, the forma-
ton of sound, rapid and discriminating
Judgment, are even of more importance
than the store of learning. Practice the
economy of time Consider time like the
faculties OF your mind, precious estate !;
that very moment of it well applied is put
to an exorbitant interest The zeal of
amusement itself, and the successful result
of application, depend in great measure
upon the economy of time. Estimate,
also. the force of habit Exercise a. con-
slant and unremitting vigilance of acquire
ment of habit, in matters that are appar-
emily ofindifference, that perhaps are real

Later from Utah.

The San Francisco papers received last
evening have advices from Salt lake to
the Sd of September. The Alta California
says:
The smallpox had been introduced into
che Territory by immigrations from the
East, causing much CONSERVATION among
the Saints, though it does not appear to
have spread to any great extent, or to have
proved generally fatal where it had oc-
Cured. The papers are filed with matters
relating to the church, and We can learn
but little through them touching the
worldly condition and prospects of the
people. The crops, however, we have
reason to believe, have been short, and
another season of famine awaits the mis-
cradle creatures who have been deluded
into this land of drouths and deserts.
The elders who have been abroad seem
to have met with but poor success in the
business of making proselytes, though their
labors were carried on among the degraded
and imbecile races of China and the South
Sea, who, of all people, would be most
likely to embrace tenets so congenial to
their depraved tastes and perverted under
standings.

RAFT.
OFFICE RED RIVER IMPROVEMENTS,
Louisville, January Is, 1855.
SIR: l have the honor to submit the
following report of my recent survey and
examination of the raft of Red river and its
vicinity, made pursuant to instructions re-
ceived from the honorable Secretary of
War, with view of determining the best
plan of Improvement at this locality.
On my arrival at the raft region, late In
October last, my attention was first directed
to a careful reconnaissance of the river and
ats adjacent bayous and lakes, not only for
the purpose of expediting the survey, but
also of examining the routes proposed for
avoiding the raft obstruction
My survey was made during the low wa
ter Of November ultimc, and embraced a
region of country extending from the cut
let of Red bayou to Shreveport, distance
ot about seventy-tive miles The length
Of transit and level line run being As 81
100 miles; and the distance examined in
person through the bayOus and lakes. and
that portion OF Red river between the foot
Of the raft and Shreveport, amounting to
aoOut 100 miles SOundings, courses, and
distances were taken throughout the whole
extent thus reconnoitered, giving sufficient
data for the construction of the accompa-
nying maps, as well as enabling me to form
correct idea of the capacity of these out
lets, either for the transportation of raft or
tor the purposes of navigation. The total
fall of the low water surface of the river,
from the head of Red bayou to Shreveport,
y &.v.S99 60 feet. From Red bayou to the
head Of the present raft, distance of four
and half miles, but little if any fall ex-
ists, the raft acting as dam, and backing
the water for some twenty or thirty miles
above. The cross section lines, run from
the river, show that the surface of the coun-
try has gradual fall from the river west
wardly of about five and a half feet to the
mile, while the difference of level of the
water surface is about three and three
quarters feet On the same section, little
over one foot to the mile; consequently al
low wat the river has constant tendency
to flow to the west through every natura
outlet, deserting Its old channel, which
runs, as it were upon a ridge, and seeking
lower level near the bluffs that border
Inc western shores of the lakes; while al
nigh water, the banks being submerged

Good Sense.

The Bishop Oelancey) of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church, in the diocese of.
Western New " ork in his pastoral charge
session, made the following admirable re-
marks to the clergy
''Let me embrace the present opportu-
nifty to express the hope that the clergy
will continue to abstain as they have
hitherto SO uniformly done, from informing.
ling themselves with the political con-
flicts of the day.
In culsivating independence of opinion,
suffrage action and expression, we have
never to forget that We serve kingdom
that is not of this world; that the pulpit
is no appointed place for partizan politics;
that as regards political rights in our
country, Jews, Turks, infidels and heretics
stand on the same platform with Chris
tians and that our duty is, by example,
precept. and persuasion, to allay, not to
provoke the irritations of party and the
evils of such conflicts, so far as truth duty
and the interests of Christ's kingdom will
allow s
For myself, have never even voted at
an election Having early observed the
absorbing irritating, and often unjust and
injurious influence of partisan politics on
the judgments, affections and intercourse
of men, l soon reached the conclusion, and
have acted upon it, that the cause of
Christ and his Church, as committed to
his ministers, is not subserved by preach
ing politics, enlisting in its service, or
seeking its honors or emoluments.
