ton has been in use nearly two years, and Is
now extensively employed in nearly every

to the washing of the largest as well as the
smallest fabrics. Among the leading estab-
ishments of the county where it is used, may
be mentioned the HOWARD AND BROAD

also be had at Canton, Norwalk and Ashland,
where it is generally employed.

The condition OF the navy is not
merely satisfactory, but exhibits the most
gratifying evidences OF increased vigor. As
it is comparatively small, it is more impor-
tant that it should be as complete as possible
IN all the elements of strength; that il should
be efficient in the character Of its officers,
in the zeal and discipline of its men, in the
reliability of its ordinance, and in the capaci
ty Of its ships. In all these various quail
ties the navy has made great progress with
in the last few years. The execution of
the law of Congress, of February %, 1855
'to promote the efficiency of the navy;''
has been attended by the most advantageous
results. The law for promoting discipline
among the men is found convenient and sal
utary. The system of granting an honora-
BILE discharge 10 faithful seamen on the expi-
ration of the period of their enlistment, and
permitting them TO re-enlist after a leave OF
absence Of few months, without cessation
of pay, is highly beneficial in its influence.
The apprentice system recently adopted is
evidently destined 10 incorporate into the
service a large number Of our countrymen,

ACCESSION OF LOUISIANA.
In this connection it should not be forgot
ten that France, of her own accord, resolv-
ed, for considerations of the most foresight

States, and that accession was accepted by
the United States, the latter expressly en-
gagged that ''the inhabitants of the ceded ter
ritory shall be incorporated in the Union Of
United States, and admitted as soon as pos
sible, according to the principles of the Fed
eral Constitution, to the enjoyment Of all
rights, advantages, and immunities of the
citizens of the United States; and in The
meantime they shall be maintained and pro-
tected in the free enjoyment of their liberty,
property, and the religion which they pro-
iess"-that is 10 say, while it remains in a

With a look of fond delight;
While DER the brow of the laughing one,

I open the cups OF the dainty flowers,

And rock the fairies fast asleep
Who hide in the lily's bell.
The tall grass mods as L wander by,
And the brook up-murmurs with glee,
And Joy and gIadness spring up in my path,
Wherever my pathway be.
Oh. what could the warriors banner be,
Were it not for my gentle power
Ave dark would be the patriots hopes,
And darker Liberty's hour;
But the starry flag of Freedoms land
Floats gayly along the way.
And the free man shouts with joyous pride,
As he views my force by day.

And bring earth's weary ones Il taste

A TOUCHING DTTrY IN PRosE.-When Seth
got home from mackereling, he sought his Sa-
rah Ann, and found that she, the heartless one,
had found another man. And then most aw-
full tight he got, and so he went away, and
bound himself to go out and cut live oak in
Florida. He pined upon the live oak lands /;
he murmured in the glades; his axe grew
heavy in his hands, all in the wild wood shades.
Mosquitoes bit him everywhere, no comfort did
he get; ah! how terribly he'd swear, whenever
he'd get bit. At last despairing of relief, and
wishing himself dead, he went into the woods
died poor Seth. So saith Bullfrog.

The PRINCE OF WALES SouNDLY THRAsHED.
The Birmingham, England, journal prints
the following account of a fogginS the Prince
of Wales received from poor boy:
During Her Majesty's residence, some years
ago, at Osborne, in the Isle OF "ish'' her
children were accustomed to ramblc along the
sea shore Now, it so happened on one occa-
sion that the young Prince of Wales met boy
who had been gathering sea shells. The ooy
had got basket full. The young Prinee'
presuming upon his high position, thought
himself privileged to do what he pleased Win
impunity. So without any notice he upset
! the basket and shells. The poor lad was very
indignant. and observed sYou do that again,
and I:ll lick you" s.Put the shells into the
basket,'' said the Prince, ''and see il DON'T
! The shells were gathered mp and put into the
basket. ssNow'' said the lad, s'touch 'em
again, old fellow, if you dare, whereupon the
Prince again pitched over the shells. And
the lad sspitched into him." and gave him
such licking as few Princes ever had. His
lin was cut open, his nose knocked consider
ably out of its perpendicular, and his eyes OF
| a color which might have we'll 6ccome the
champion of prize ring. His dishGureu
face could not long be concealed from his roy
al mother. She inquired the cause Of his dis
figurement. The Prince was silent but at last
confessed the truth. The poor boy was order
| cd before the Queen. He was asked to tell
his story. He did so in a very straightfor-
ward manner. At its conclusion, turning to
her child, the Queen said +: .'You have been
rightly served, sir. Had you not been pun
ished sufficiently already, should have pun
ished YOU severely. When you Commit
like offence, trust you will always receive
similar punishment Turning to the poo
boy, she commanded his parents to her presen'
the following morning. They came and the
result of the interview was that her Majesty
, told them she had made arrangements for ed
ucating and providing for their son, ana SUI
, hoped he would make good use of the advan
, tages which should be placed within his reach

KANSAS AFFAIRS.

An exciting extra of the Westport Neus,
headed s.War! WarI'' reached Leavenworth
city on the 2Sth ult., and threw the pro-slavery
men there into the greatest excitement. They
held private meeting and appointed Com
mittee of Vigilance to attack Leavenworth,
and let no Free-State men pass, and deter
mined to make lawless arrests of obnoxious
parties. A company of men, armed with mus
kets and bayonets, Omitted States arms,) have
been pafading all the afternoon, making ar
rests. They took prisoner clerk of the Com
mttee of Congress, named Conway, and two
witnesses that had been subp9naed, Messrs
Parrott aud Miles Moore. Warren Wilkes, OF
South Carolina, headed the party. A. Moore,
one of the murderers of Brown, helped to
make the arrests. Messrs. Parrott and Moore
were arrested while conycrsing with Mr.. Sher-
man. Mr.. Sherman asked if it was by legaI
process they had taken one of The clerks OF
the commission. Mr.. Wilkes said it was not
that he had no legal authority, but that he
would arrest the men down on his list. Many
others have been taken. The town is excited,
and the Commission fear they must leave. A
farming extras are sent out from Westport to
the border towns. a fight is expected near
Pottawotamic. The last difficulty arose at
Pottawotamie Creek. Some Pro-Slavery men

claim, but he refusing to go, they took him
| and were about TO hang him, when his neigh

pro-Slavery party.
