A Voice from the South.

The Louisville Journal, thus speaks Of the
outrages in Kansas:
We feel that We have already too long de-
layed lending our aid towards informing the
nation of the atrocious outrages II at have been
committed and are still continuing TO be per-
petrated in that unfortunate territory in the
name of the law aud under the sanction of
government officials. No man with anv Am
erican feeling in his bosom can read the de-
tails without loathing and disgust. and with
out having his Indignation aroused against
every official from the highest to the lowest,
who has directly or indirectly influenced or
connived at the results on our national char
acter.
After summing up the outrases As set forth
in the memorial of the people of Lawrence,
the Journal proceeds:
Such without any exaggeration, as we be
lieve, are the recently perpetrated atrocities
in Kansas, portrayed in the memorial-per-
petrated if not by the direct sanction at least
with the unequivocal connivance of the L. 5.

in Kansas should be settled by the sovereign

Resolred. That the Democratic party will

WHAT DIFFERENCE ONE rEAS MAkEs.-
Last July, the Indiana SsHtinel, alluding TO
the refusal of Gov Reeder to recognize the
Missouri Kansas Legislature then in session,
said:
Were we Gov. Of Kansas. backed by the
Administration, we would treat that body of
pretenders much as the Long Parliament was
treated BY Cromwell. and subject the outlaw
leaders to test similar TO that endured by the
weak and unfortunate Charles l. In other
words, as beheading is now out Of fashion,
we would hang that desperate Stringfellow.
to the first tree that presented the proper con-
venience for little episode Of this peculiar
character"
But 10. what a change. Now that legisls-
ture was legal body, its acts. though bloody
and oppressive, are valid. Why this change
Simply because its masters. the President and
the slaveholders say Can any sane msn
think the people such fools to De led about
by such leaders, Why should the legislature
be hanged in 1855, but in 1856 their acts be
enforced by hanging Reeder and otherss"

Many persons complain that their hens

sumo their is something lacking, or the
fowls would certainly not run their owners
in debt. 1t is not generally understood,
even by those who profess to be most
deeply versed in the mysteries of chem
ology," that the hen, being omniverous,
requires, to ensure %fecundity, a very iibe-
raj allowance of meat. When ENJOYING
her liberty in the fields, pastures, or door
yards, the principal part of her %sustenance
is derived from insects, worms, sc. She
partakes but sparingly at such times Of
grain, and often when hat article is sup
piled, leaves it for the more inviting food
which nature supplies her with, in hel

Taking Care orrarm Implimcnts

Every farmer should have q house for
keeping his implements. 1t should he
tight and dry and adapted for repairing,
altering, cleaning aud sharpening them.
Every implement, when not required for
use, should have its proper place, and be-
rcrc it is laid past for winter, all the bright
metal belonging to it should be carefully
dried and well creased to prevent rusting.
Rust i, a viper which poisons the farmers
purse; many farmers allow their plows,
harrows and cultiyators To rust and rot IN
the corners of open, damp sheds, during
six months of the year, and they seem
surprised that their implements do not last
longer.
All farm implements, after having been
used during spring, summer, and fall,
should have their wood work painted, also
their coarse metal work; and every bolt
and nut should be oiled. The loss of AN
ounce of iron by rust, is equal to the loss
of an ounce Of gold. Carcfulness in all
things IS economy, and a little extra trou-
bic saves extra expense,
