KANsAs.-The Savannah Republican in
Inmates that several companies OF em,grahts
from that State are about proceeding TO
Kansas, bat says that few, il any OF them,
are Shareholders. and that no slaves accom-
pany them. The Republican doubts if even
the votes of these men can be safely relied
on, and mentions the case Of party of nine
who went last year from one Of the upper
counties Of Georgia, eight of whom after
wards voted with the Free State men. The
Republican concludes its article as follows :
Conduct this struggle as We may our opinion
is very decided that Kansas will eventually
come into the Union as free State, aud
that too, by the legal votes of its own ciii.
zens, under the law of Congress organizing a
government for that Territory. So long as
the homeless and penniless mendicants Of the
old world are ready to furnish abundant in
struments in the hands Of northern Abolition
Societies, and are admitted, when wholly ig.
norant ofsour government and tongue, to the
high privileges Of American citizenship, Just
SO long will the South DO hipdnost ia the

TO SPRING.
DY ALBERT PIKE,

o thou delicious Spring
Nursed in the lap of thin and subtle showers
Which fall from clouds that lift thei
snowy wing
From odorous beds Of lghtenrolded flowers
And from enmassed bowers,
That over grassy walks their grcennes
fling,
Come, gentle Spring
Thou lover of young wind.
That cometh from the invisible upper SEQ
Beneath the sky, which clouds, its white
foam, bind.
! And, settling in the trees deliciouSlv.
Makes young leaves dance with glec
Even in the teeth of that old, sober hind
Winter uukind,
Come to u.s. FOR thon art
Like the fine love of children, gentle Spring
Touching the sacred feeling of the heart
Or like a virgins pleasant welcoming;
And thou dost ever bring
A tide Of gentle bat resistless art
Upon the heart.
Red Autumn from the South
Contends with thee; alas! what may he
show?
What are his purple stain'd and rosy month
And Drowned cheeks, 90 thy soft feet of snow,
And tmid. pleasant glow
Giving carth.niercirg flowers their primal
growth.
And greenest youth7
Cay Summer conQuers thee;
And vet he has no hrGuty such as thine;
What is his over-streaminr fiery sen.
To the pure glory that with thee doth shine?
Thou season most divine

LIBERATioS or SLAyES.-The New Orleans
Commercial Bulletin tells us that cases Of
tie voluntary emancipation of slaves are CON
tnually occurring in the courts of that city.
aud that the slaves thus liberated in almost
every case, fully vindicaie the good policy Of
theremancipaton, The Bulletin observes:
Many oftLese slaves thus set free become
the owners of property, aud some of them
even rich aud, singular as it may appear,
many OF them become in turn shareholders
themselves"
Tue mode Of legal emancipation in New
orlenns IS somewhat peculiar Every case
must be decided on nv a Jury of twelve slave.
holders. 1t must be the voluntary act ofthe
owner, who must prove TO the satisfaction Of
the jury that the slave is of good character,
aud capable of selEsupport In some other
Southern States the emancipation ot slaves
Is snSrely prohibited

A MONSTER BR1DGE.-There is in course
Of construction in Canada, one of the
largest bridges in the world. 1t is to span
the St. Lawrence for the purpose of con-
Meeting the Grand Trunk Railway with
the city Of Montreal. Its proportions
will be truly Titanic, and the piers upon
which it will rest will be Of sufficient
strength and solidity TO defy the force of
the ice which floats down the St. Lawrence
in the spring in vast masses. This monster
structure will be over mile and three
quarters in length, or 943s feet, and will
res, on "a piers, and two solid ahutments.
1t will be on the tubular principle, i. e {:
formed of iron tubes, such as the Britannia
Bridge which spans the Menai Strait, on
the route from London to the Irish Chan
mel. The principal span, that over the
deep or ship channel, will be Of tho e1.
traordinary length of $50 feet. and at an
elevation Of so feet over the summer level
Of the water, sufficient to allow OF the
largest lake craft or steamer to pass under
without striking even Royal. The tota!
cost is. estimated at 81, 100000, and the
bridge is to be finished in the fall of 1859.

THE VorE OF NEW ENGLAND.-The
Now England States are represented as
voting for the first time rs unit at the re.
cent election. The contrary is the fact.
Every New England State went against
Mr.. Jefferson in the contest of 1901; and
in that contest. says the New York Ex'
press, the orthodox clergy (as they styled
themselves) were as active as in the
present campaign. Mr.. Jefferson was OPP
posed from the pulpit Sunday after Sunday
during the whole canvass; was called an
InfideI, an Atheist, Jacobin, dealer in
human flesh, and charged with being the
father of his slaves. The business, how
ever, was overdone, as it will be now. A
reaction commenced; and at the election
in 1905 every New England State except
Connecticut went for Jefferson.

LOUISIANA SWAMP LANps.-We call
attention, says the Baton Rouge Advocate
Of the 9th ult.,- TO the following extract
from letter of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, dated Sept. 10th,
1866, 10 His Excellency, Gov. WickIife.
The grant to the State for Railroad pur-
poses does not attach to- the unsurveyed
and unsettled Swamp Lands" along the
lines thereof prior grant of the same
having been made to the State by acts OF
Cd March, 1859, and 2sth September.
1850. The withdraw rival from sale Of lands
between Algiers and Opelousas, or any
other portion Of the lines of road, cannot
in my opinion affect the swamp lands,
whether settled or unsettled, surveyed or
un.urveyed, the same having been the
subject Of prior grants TO the State, but is
confined to the highlands.
