From the Evening Post.
A Southern Shareholder Sending tom Y,
tor a Sharpe 8 Rifle,


The fOllowing is an extract from letter oI
citizen Of the interior Of Kentucky, dated
Feb. q9th, and addressed to an active and eff
cient friend ofithe Free State men in Kansas,
now in this city, II shows that Mr.. Pierce's
Kansas policy is by no means so universally
popular in the Slave States as he an his ad-
visels suppose:
iE'DEAR SIR:-My Objec! 10 writing to you is
to know how can procure a sharpe's rifle, or
any other equally as good. intend to emf
CRATE next month to Kansas, and will be on the
side of Freedom.
Although am STAKEHOLDER, yet am, 10
the broadest sense, Anti-Slavery, and as a
proof Of my principles, intend to take my Slave
to Kansas and berate him. 1t is cruel,
wicked and unjust law Of our S.ate that pre-
vents slaveholders from lberating their slaves
here. The Free State men 10 Kansas have
been greatly outraged. There ia a man now
in this county who voted in Kansas. whilst on
trip Missouri.
Mr.. who was the controlling spirit Of
the Kansas Legislature, end who emigrated
from this county to Missouri, gathered up his
voters in Missouri, and went over to Kansas,
and was elected by them 20 a ssatn the Legis-
lature. Persons from Missouri have told me
that they went over to Kansas aud voted. But
you are we'll informed on this subject. AL.
though my religion requires me to love law,
yet when the law Of God and the law Of man
como in contact, We must obey the Law of God.
Every man. guided BY reason and an enlight
ensd conscience is to determine when the law
of man and Of God come in contact.
have no patience with those who are con.
tinually clarifying our Revolutionary Fathers,
for resisting the laws Of England Imposing
upon the Colonies laws Of taxation without rep
resentaLiOn, and yet insist that the people Of
Kansas must submit to unjust, Anti Christian,
and iaiquitous laws, passed by legislature
representing the people Of another State. Out
upon such hypocrcy
would be glad to have one Of Sharpe's ri.
des sent 20 me here, and II l were certain this
letter would reach you, would enclose the
money and let you send il by express to LeJ.
IngtOu. lfyOu will send rifle 10 some person
in Cincinnati, can pay for it there, or you can
send it direct to me, and will send the money
by mail, or you can send it to Kansas with the
other rifles, and can pay for it when receive
II from the agent.
II il is known when the rifles pass through
Missouri, they may be bo taken possession Of
by the Law and Order Party" Let me sug.
gest that you do not make public through the
newspapers any aid that you may be rendering
TO the Free State men in Kansas, for it will all
be copied into the Southern papers, and for all
the aid rendered by the North, the Slave Oil
garchy will endeavor to render twice as much |
TO their supporters.

Republicans in virginia a

The Loudon Mirror, published in Loudou
county, Virginia. gives an account OF demon
stratiOn 10 favor Of Republcanism, which has
recently been made in that county, and which
seems to have excited no little degree Of fappre
hension among the staunch Southern right,
people OF that region. 1t seems that meeting
was called st Goose Creek Church. for the pur.
pose Of ratifying the Philadelphia platform and
nominations. In the course of the discussion
which took place at this meeting several gen
tlemen took occasion to express themselves in
favor of the doctrines Of the Republican party
and their remarks. it seems, were received with
'immense applause"
The Mirror, in commenting upon The proceed
ings Of this meeting, is iu great alarm at thi'
indicat ton OF the spread Of what it terms Black

Whether the fears expressed by these jour
mails are well grounded or not. il is significant
fact that the Southern prejudices and jealous
sic on the subject Of slavery have been carried
to so great an extent as to cause a reaction
which is now beginning to manifest itself. The
ensroashing policy Of slavery has been carried
so far that the moderate people of the South,
whose sense Of right and 1stice has not been
obliterated by an iuconsderate and blind ds.
votion to the interests Of slavery. have at length
been induced to interpose their influence to
check the further development Of the suicidal
policy which the slsVshOlding States have adop.

NO SPEAKER YET.

Our latest advices from Washington are to
the 29th nit, in q telegraphic dispatch to the
Picayane. In the House on the 9th, Banks
caneSwithin- three Of being elected Speaker !;
and it was then thought that he would certainly
be elected in the course Of q day or two, in
consequence of the non-attendance Of Demo-
cratic members; but on the 18th, the very
meager dispatch informs us, further ad-
vance toward organization had yet been made
in the House."
Some %unimportant business has been trans
acted in the Senate, in the proceedings Of
which body, however, little or no interest
seems to be taken. Every body is watching
the movements Of the other branch of our
National Legislature. That our readers may
in q measure judge how they are getting along,
and what chance there may be Of procuring an
early copy Of Frank Pierce's third annual essay
on the Progress Of Filibusterism, and SO on,
We give the following glance at the proceedings
Of the House on the 26th:
"a resolution to continue voting viva voce
until Friday, and on the first vote taken that
day, the candidate having the largest majority
be declared Speaker-tabled, by a majority Of
III. Also, that voting be continued from IL
to 6 O'Clock, and nothing else be in order but
personal explanations, till an election-tabled,
by four majority. Mr.. Sage proposed that no
motion to adjourn be in order until 4 o'clock,
unless o Speaker is elected. Mr.. Stephens sug-
gested to modify, by saying that no adjourn
ment will be in order till on election; which,
after many jokes from members, on starving
juries, bidding families farewell, and strong
stomachs, and an amendment from Mr.. Payne,
that every member who shall die, under this
resolution, shall have a monument. erected to
his memory, was adopted-yeas, ll6, nays &c."
And here is what the House did on the
following day:
Mr.. Campbell moved that Mr.. Orr, Of
South Carolina, be invited to preside until
after the election Of Speaker-on which a de-
bate ensued. Mr.. Colfax feared parties might
cave in and Mr.. Orr find himself permanently
in the Chair. Campbell replied that if the
gentleman from Indiana expects to be worried
out in the battle Of principle, he had better
put back and go home. Colfax said he alluded
to billing and cooling between the Richardson
and Fuller men. Mr.. Jones, Of Pennsylvania
said that the Democratic party did not intend
departing from their candidates and platform.
Humphrey Marshall denied the charge Of billing
and cooling, and urged his party not to alter
the present course. After which the House
took q recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow"
We forget the name of the member who a
few days ago proposed that all hands should
resign and 60 home, but think it an excellent
idea, and one that should be adopted at once
and if the Honorable Members of the House of
Representatives Of the United States will take
our advioe-Gt's cheap: we charge nothing for
it)-they'll do it.

BoRo1A-IsM.-Mr. Locke, formerly editor Of
the Savannah Republican, in u letter to that
paper from Europe, giving an account Of a re-
cent visit to Venice, says:
"A strange occurrence took place while l
was in Venice. On the sam evening, in differ
ent parts Of the town, two young girls, nine or
ten years old, were enticed away to q solitary
abode, where they were blindfolded and CON
Quoted to another retired house. Here they
were well treated for twenty-four hours, with
enough to eat and drink, but they were bled
several times almost to the point of fainting,
and when they had no more blood to spare.
without endangering their lives, they were re-
stored to their homes by night, in the same
mysterious way. Every body in town was
startled by this singular incident. The most
common explanation was, that an old sorceress
had recommended to some deluded being, bath
ing in the blood Of young and healthy persons,
as a method Of restoring exhausted nature"

CONFERENCE.-THE compliments Of the sea,
son to. Mr.. @. s.. Baldwin, for q specimen Of
Natures choice productions, in the shape Of
the fruit which (no wonder, if it was as fine as
hisi) SO tempted our First Mother. Those
apples were luscious indeed. In this connection
we would remark that Mr.. B. is now at Wash
ington with q latboat load of produce from
Cincinnati, such as flour, pork, lard, butter,
cheese, candles, apples, potatoes, cider, etc.
which he is selling at extremely low prices.
Judging from the " sample brick in our pos
session, the quality Of his merchandise can be
nothing less than "tip top" Call early, ye
who would purchase!

goods to this place to take shipping-but alas!
Tor the mntability of all things, ga change
came over the spirit Of her dream" the young
wagner wooed, and she was won-and at their
last camping place near town (having obtained
the papers, Judge Allen and a few friends
went out and the happy pair were united in
the holy bands of matrimony. A bountcous
repast that had been prepared having been
partaken of by the Judge and his friends, they
returned to town, and the happy couple Went
on their way rejoicing. [Indianola Wexas)

Galveston and Rod river Railroad.

AS q matter Of general interest to our rea-
ders, 9 publish the following statistics, show
ing the progress and present condition of the
Galveston and Red River Railroad, as furnished
by one well acquainted with the facts:
l. The grade is nearly completed from Hous-
ton to a mile beyond G press Creek.
2. About 10000 ties are now on the ground,
and the contractors have ordered 10000 from
Maine.
3. The bridges and c~ulverts are in progress
Of construction, and will soon be finished,
4. Full half of the necessary rails have either
arrived or are on the way.
5. One locomotive Of 1917 tons weight,
with tender, cylinders IL K 20 inches, and
four five feet drivers, outside connecticut called
the Ebenezer, together with four Of the cars,
all the chains and spikes, frogs, hand-cars, etc.,
ETC., necessary for the first twenty-five miles,
are either here or on the way.
6. The road has been surveyed and leveled
to the Brazos timber, near Mr.. Donaho's resi-
dence, thence due north to the Navaisoto,
crossing that stream near the town Of Ander.
son, passing near Boonyille and the town of
Springfield.
This is as far as the Company have located
the road. From that point it will run up
towards the Red River counties, and thence
dlverge northeast, striking Red River near
the town of Fulton, connecting with the Cairo
and Fulton road, which also connects with
the Central Illinois road. The stock already
subscribed amounts to near half a million Of
dollars The amount expended thus far is
$685. 32.
The survey has been paid for a distance of
one hundred and ffty-four miles, in addition to
which a large tract Of country has been ex-
plored. Thus far the road has. been prosecuted
almost exclusively by the efforts of the citizens
OF Houston alone. Our informant says the
work Tor grading the next twenty-five miles
will be commenced on the LIST Of january,
instant, and that it is the intention of the
Company to have fifty miles in running order
by the LIST of September, 1856. Heavy planters,
he says, have proposed to take contracts for
the grading, by sections, in payment of stock.
He adds, that as soon as the first Twenty-Five
miles are finished, negotiations abroad can be
effected for money, SO that the work can be
prosecuted without the aid of loans from the
State. We may here remark that we have al
so been informed by gentlemen connected with
the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Rail
road, that that Company feel perfectly able to
prosecute this road without the aid proposed
be given by the Loan Bill, now before the
Legislature, though We presume they will ac-
cept the proposed loan, if the bill becomes a
law, provided the terms are not too stringent.
They say that the first mortgage required by
State will operate unfavorably on ef1ecting
additional loans.

FRANoE.-The Minister of War has sent q
circular to the generals commanding districts,
saying. that he takes a deep interest in those
men whose absence from the theatre of war ut
the moment when they would have been enti-
tied to rewards had they remained, is attribu-
table to sickness or wounds. He desires the
divisional generals to pass in review all such
men, and to report the names. of the officers,
non-commissioned officers and soldiers, that
may be judged worthy of notice. The reports
will be communicated to Marshal Pelissier,
who will decide ultimately to what extent the
recommendations made by the home generals
are to be acted upon. The circular further
desires that the names of such wounded or
convalescent officers as may be able to accept a
sedentary employment, although not fit for
military service, may be sent into the War
Office. London paper.
