LETTER FROM KASsAsAThe Lawrence cor.
respondent of the Democrat in this city, writing
under date of the 7th inst, says that an lndlct-
ment for high treason had been found against
Reeder, Robinson, Roberts, Lane, and other
Free State men. Intelligence had been brought
to Lawrence by Missourian that secret hand;
bills were being circulated and forces marshaed
in the border counties, and The people warned to
nrepara for defence.

How DID IT GET THERE.-T:. . Norfolk He
raid has been crediby informed that one Of the
denizens of the polar regions, veritable phoca
or seal, by some means or other recently found
its way into the marshes of the Roanoke river,
in TyrreI county, NJ c., where it was quietly
regaiing itself upon the fish which had become
entanged in a shad net belonging to. gentle
man engaged in the fishery business in that coun-
ty. The proprietor not liking such an inlerlo-
per went after his gun and | succeeded in shoot
ing the animal, which, when brought 10 shore
showed by its size that it had not neglected it's
opportunities in the matter of good living. 1t
yielded three gallons of oil, and the skin is now
in possession Of Dir. G. W. Buford. of Norfolk,
where it may be seen by the curious. We be-
eve this is the first seal ever seen in tho waters
south of N York, and though some suppose it
may have taken an involuntary passage on a
cake of ice, the question we consider, is still
open for the discussion of naturalists, how did it
get into North Carolina Wilmington Herald.

WnEAr.-The Athens Post says: AS far
as we have had an opportunity of observing,
The growing wheat loo ks very well ana we
think the apprehension that it had been serious,
Iy injured by the severe winter was premature
The same paper gives table showing the
number of bushels Of wheat shipped over the
East Tennessee and Georgia railroad, of the
last years harvest, upto the last Of February.
The total foots up at four hundred and twenty
four thousand five hundred and sixteen bushels.

Among the varied specimens Of American ingenuity,
some of the sIrewdest in the shape of advertise

cute faculties of creditors taxed hit upon the most

insert In the Star the following letter:
WASHINGTON, July 18th, 1856.
GEO. w. PHILLIPS, Eso-Dear Sir re-
cslved your friendly communication bearing
date the ll'h of July inst, interrogsting me
with regard to my supposed connection with
the so.called g Know Nothing party, % to which
1 most cheerfully and uneq uivocally reply.
lou Will recollect tn at about eigh teen months
ago had q conversation with you on this sub
Ject, when then told you, as I did others,
that was not a member of the party in ques-
ton, that had some months previous to thai
time visited one of their councils, but that
had never made up my mind or even thought
OF leaving the Democratic party, to which, you
know, had always belonged, and therefore
declined having anything more to do with
them. Since then 1 have peen repeatedly
urged to take the degrees to entitle me to
membership but have always declined, giving
my reasons therefor. And 1 now say to you,
what then said, and more, that never was,
nor can L ever be q member of tho Know
Nothing party" and do assure you that
have no more sympathy for that party than
yourself, and in conclusion give you the fur
Their assurance that am resolved, as hereto
fore, to support most heartily and zeaiousky
the nominees of the late Democratic Conven.
ton for President and Vice President. You
are liberty to use this as you please.
Respectfully, your obedient servant.
