course Of which the former fully maintained his
character as a FOSTERING bully and the latter secured

INVESTIGATION OF THE KANSAS QUEsTIoN.-The
House of Representatives on the 10Th voted lOl
yeas to VI nays, to send three members of the
House to Kansas to take testimony in the Reeder
case and voted an appropriation of $4,000 to defray
expenses. The resolution also requested the Pres

it necessary. The appointment of the Committee
devolved upon the Speaker of the House, who has
appointed Messrs. Campbell of Ohio, Howard Of
Michigan and Oliver Of Missouri.
LATER.-Lewis d. Campbell declines acting on
the Committee of investigation. John Sherman Of
Ohio has been appointed in his place.
We should have stated that the Investigations

alleged have been perpetrated in the Terri

The KANSAS LEGISLATURE has taken a recess
till the 4th of July. They previously elected
Messrs. Lane and Reeder u. S. Senators. But
transacted little other business. They protested
their entire submission to the laws of the United
States. Thus attempting to take the wind out
of President Pierce's sails when he shall have
Governor and Legislature arrested for treason.
The Editor of the n. y. Tribune reports that
he has it from good authority that the President
has directed the arrest Of the State Government, and
that Pierce believes the whole are now in Jail.

THE FREE PRESS.

We noticed, a month or two since the receipt Of
a new exchange Die Freie PfesSe Ton Indiana,
whose liberal tone in reference to the slavery ques
ton, our readers will remember, we took occasion
to commend as in favorable contrast with that Of
severa! of the stipendiary presses Of the govern,
ment printed in the German language. The issue
of this journal for the 10Th inst, contains severaI
articles on the subjecr of slavery which are ADM
rably calculated to givea proper bias to the mind:
Of such readers as need elementary instruction in
the matter of slavery, and this is the class doubt
less, from which the patronage of the Free Pres,
is drawn. Our own readers would, probably, find
the matter of this newspaper rather tame, not tc
say dull, but then they have been fed on the most
substantial food the Anti-Slavery market affords.
We would recommend our. readers in Indiana
and elsewhere in tho west, to make an effort to in.
trodrce this journal among their German friends;
its tone is quite as high, generally speaking, as
that Of the free soil papers printed in English. 1t
is published in indianapolis. and edited by Mr..
Hermann Stein. l..

Our city, judging by the results which are
exhibited in our midst, is fortunate in having
provided class Of savings institutions whose
success is proving of incaleulable value not
only to the industrial classes but to the bus
ness and enterprise of the community generally
first as safe and cumulative depository for
the small surplus earnings Of thousands, next
as the efficient means of aggregating capital
which is kept actively employed on solid security
by those who WELD il to the advantage Of our
commercial and materiel growth, though bor-
rowing it and paying for its use with view of
course to their own profit. Such is the fruit,
in general sense OF well conducted savings
banks-the clerk, the mechanic, the laborer,
thus actually furnishing capital for his en-
ployer, which is but another evidence Of the
mutual dependence oSemployer and employee,
and of one and Of all classes Of tho community
upon each other. The Eutaw Savings Bank
appears to be one Of the most successful Of this
class Of institutions among us. 1t has Just
declared an extra dividend for the last three
years, which, added to the regular annual in
terest Of four per cent. on deposits makes six
and half per cent This is its third dividend
Of the kind, the bank having been in operation
Just nine years. 1t is now operating on a capi-
tai Of upwards Of seven hundred thousand dol.

Buried Treasures.

"Eusebius" writes to the New York Observer
from Rome, as follows:
The Tiber is not only rich in historic associ-
ations, it is rich in treasure. An English com
pany has actually offered to turn the current of
the stream far above the city and around it,
provided the government would give them what
they might discover in its present bed. This
would be attended with vast expense, but it
would pay. Treasures Of art from age to age
have found their way into the stream which
would bring in the market perfect remune-
ration. In the museum of st. j ohm Lateran, a
magnificent column of stone is lying, which
was taken not long since from the Tiber, por-
tion of which has been polished to display its
beauty, and no one can see it without wishing
to have more of the secret of this river re-
vealed. Statuary more perfect and perhaps
more beautiful than any of the ancient works
of art now seen in Rome lies embedded in
groupes beneath the stream. Agostino Chigi
the famous banker at the time of Leo Y, once
gave a splendid entertainment to the Pope and
his Cardinals, at which the dishes we're all of
precious metals. The price paid for three fish
was 250 crowns. 1t is said that the dishes
were oil thrown into the Tiber by order of the
rich banker, in order that no less illustrious
guest might ever use them. The sacred ves-
sells brought from Jerusalem by Titus among
them the golden candle stick are reported to
have been lost from the Milvan bridge, and if
so, are still lying there. The present govern
ment of Rome will suffer nothing belonging to
ancient art to pass from her territory, nor is il
able to carry on such an investigation upon its
own account.

We have seen an interesting letter from
Alexander w. Fenner, who was one Of the
passengers wounded in the terrible affair Mt
Panama. The account of the origin Of the
difficulty, and Of the murderous conduct OF the
police, corresponds with the published reports.
When the police joined the robbers he was hit
by FIVE balls, only one Of which injured him
severely, the others being spent. He found a
place of temporary shelter, from which he was
dragged; his pockets we're riaed, his clothes
in which his gold had been sewed, we're cu
open, and the villains thrust their knives into
the wound, from which the blood was flowing
He had the fortitude to remain immovable, and
passed for dead, so they did not despatch him
He was cared for by the company's officers
and, by the aid Of kind nursing and good medi
cal treatment, was getting well, although his
wound was at fret considered mortal.-Propi

A RENcoSTER IN PHILApELPHIA.-0n Satur.
day evening a street rencontre took place be-
tween General Small and Captain John Tyler,
(son of the Ex-President) between whom and
the former gentleman controversy has for
some time been going on in relation to the
Brigadier Generalship ofthe second brigade. 1t
appears they had some sharp words, then came
to blows, and a pretty severe conflict ensued, in
which General Small fell to the ground with
considerable violence, and the Captain on top.
Several friends finally interfered, and the
combatants we're parted. They subsequently
had another collision, but beyonda afewscratches,
neither suffered anything serious.

Already the cold penetrated his frame; dark

winds hurled the falling snow more furiously

without arms or ammunition, and he was fearful

He arose and moved forward through the dark

knew that one moments pause was fatal, and
he struggled on. The next day he saw some
bushes, which gave him hope of rest and

his dismay, that the matches in his pocket were
wet and spoiled, and could not be ignited. His
feet had become so sore and swollen from con-
