ATCHIsON oNKANsAs.

David II. Atchison, the head and front Of
"border rufianism" in Kansas, thus concludes
letter to a citizen Of Georgia =
Kansas and Missouri have the same latitude,
climate and soil, and should have the same in
s,itolons. The peace and property of both de-
pend on it. Kansas must have slaue Institutions
OF Missouri must have free Northumberland
the interest the border "Rufians" take in Kan
sas affairs. A large number of the citizens of
Kansas have gone there, or rather have been
sent there, for the express purpose of abolition
izing it, and ultimately Missouri. This has not
heretofore been the case in the Territories of
the United States Iowa has Aboliiionisis with
in her border, so has Illinois unprincipled
Aboliiionisis and negro thieves, yet they are
few in number The great mass VI the people
in those states are honest and law-abiding men.

or rather been sent from the North and East
Tor no other purpose but to vote at the election
and return home. This was understood by The
border Mssourians, and they resolved to coun-
leract II, and it was done.
The border "Ruflians," assert and believe
have shown more amiable, Christian and for
bearing spirit than any other body of men wo d
have shown under similar circumstances. Bat
ialions of men came on from The North, with
the open and avowed purpose of excluding slave
holders from Kansas. Not only that, but pam
phlels were written, newspapers argued, and
preachers preached that 10 abolitionize Kansos
was to drive Slavery from Missouri. In this
they ,sere right. To do the one is to do the
other. Undor these circumstances, what does
it become US to dol What we have done has
been done 10 seltdefenee. What we shall here
after DO, time alone will show. We are pre-

CONGRESSIONAL.

This record is a short one, and may be ca
silly summed up as follows:-The House has
done nothing, and the Senate has been assist
ing the House.
A resolution has been adopted cutting off
all debate until a speaker is elected. This
will facilitate business somewhat. From pres
ent indications Richardson will Withdraw, and
all the opposition to Banks will unite upon
some pro-slavery candidate. This can be
done if the Democrats will rcscind the anti.
American resolution adopted by them at the
commencement of the session, and may be if
it is not.
This friends Of Banks stand firm and unit
ed. All the opposing elements have tried in
vain to destroy the sulidily of this phalanx, to
make the column waver. We are glad to
see for once some exhibition of ''pluck'' in
the northern representatives. It will be of
essential service hereafter, even il Banks is
defeated. The manner in which the Repre-
sentatves from this State have stood by their
candidate is commendable. We feel quite
sure tina, ii will meet with the approval of
their constituents.

who arc laboring to effect this laudable I'M
dertaking should back out, and let the terrific
ny I've ovcrrun with the myrmidoms Of the
South, rather than forclbly resist their en-
croachments. The menaces Of dissolution
offhc Union, waited on every southern breeze,
frightens them into compliance with unright-
eous acquisitions. These politicians turn the
cold shoulder to those in Kansas who have
been prepared to fight, if needs be, for free
institutions. They deprecate all anxiety for,
and interest in, the struggle that is now wag-
ing between Freedom and Slavery.
II is not because we wish to deprive any
stakeholder of his rights, that we desire IL
possible to prevent the institution Of Slavery
in Kansas. IL any man wishes to hold hu-
man beings in soryitudc, let him settle in those
states where be can crafty this inhuman wish
with inpuniiy. But we do not desire to see
Kansas settled with population where nine
tenths of her citizens shall forever I've debar-
rel the privileges of free schools, aud the
means with which to educate their children;
where the poor shall be kept in ignorance aud
dcgredation; aud where an aristocratic few
shall be able to carry out practically the doc
trines enuuciated by the Examiner.

LARGE ScALE.-The largest railroad scale
in the world, in actual use, is one built by
Messrs. L. & T. Fairbanks & Co. for the Mine
Hill & Schuylkll Haven Railroad in Pennsyl-
vania. II is one hUdred and teelre feet long,
aud is capable Of sustaining load of hundred
tons. 1t is used mainly for weighing coal, eleven
carloads at a time. There were weighed on
this scale in 1854, ,2e7 sos tons, and in 1855
up to Oct. 18Th, 1884 1855 tons, making total
weighed in little more than 81 months, o.
,G6i tons. On the 18th of April last there
were weighed on this scale e,iO5 tons of coal,
which was about thousand tons more than was
ever weighed in a single day before; and on the
2sIh of August there were weighed on it $500
tons. Nearly third Of the time it was unoc-
cuPied, which would give the capacity of The
scale for full days work at about 10 900 tons.

II the settlement Of Kansas had been leit to
the laws which govern emigration, il would
have been a Slave Territory, as certain as Mis-
souri, is Slave State. But nasmuch as those
have been violated aud pervaded by the force OF
money, and powerful organization in the North
and East, it becomes the South "to be up and do
ing and to send us population to counierac' The
North. This can be done with little exertion.
Thus far, few counties in Western Missouri
have successfully encountered and defeated this
powerful organization. Let Georgia set the ex-
ample. What is to be done, should be done
quickly. This course on the part the South
will save Kansas to the South save boodshed

sons of a minister in Massachusetts,, who died
four or five years since, leaving his family in a

WEBsrER's SPELLING BooK-The first draft
of Webser's Spelling Book was made in the
year of 1882. Most persons regarded his de-
sign as usel' IS, and many had strong objections
to the changes he proposed. Only two of his
friends, John Trumbul and Joel Barlow, en-
conraged him with any hope Of success. No
printer would undertake the publication on his
own responsibility and Mr.. Webster was
obliged al last 10 incur the whole risk, with a
certainty, il the book failed, of being bank
rupi for life Though the work was, on the
whole, received favorably yet ii made its way
slowly into schools for number of years. As
it became more popular, the booksellers were
glad 10 purchase the copyright, by allowing him
few mills on each copy. Mr.. Websters
share of the profits was small, yet is furnished,
at subsequent period, nearly all the support
of his family during the twenty years which
he bestowed on the preparation of the Ameri-
can Dictionary. Thirty.three millions of the
Spelling Book have now been printed, and the
circulation in 1854 was LIES, 900 copies
Without the Spelling Book, the Dictionary
could never have existed. '-BarJer's Sketches.

CARA Falls Gazette of the present week says,
that for several days, the communication be-
tween that village and tho Canada shore by an
ice bridge across the Ferry has been unnier-
rup'ed. The ice is probably from twenty to
thirty feet thick, and perhaps more. The cross
ing is perfectly safe, and the view which can
now be obtained of the cataract is unsurpassed
Such an opportunity as is now presented for
obtaining front view of the Falls, rarely occurs
Previous to Saturday ice had formed up TO
Goat Island, and the landing could be made
from the Canada side This is a circumstance
OF very rare occurrence. We are informed that
such thing has not happened for the last 90
or e5 years, This latter bridge has broke a.
way, but that at the Ferry bids fail to remain
a long time.-Bu6alo Courier.
