the language of the dispatch. "The Message

JANUARY 2s, 1856,


The President has at last, it seems, found
: out that there is such place as Kanzas, al
though the gross outrages committed there do
not seem to have made any impression upon
his sensibilities. In a message to the Senate,
as seen in another column, the President goes
into an elaborate defence of the border sultan
Legislature, and his course in the removal of
Reeder for not going TO the full extent in allow
ing body Of men elected by the votes of Mis-
souri, slavery propagandists, to dictate laws to
the people Of Kanzas.
President PIERCE seems to be so intently bent
upon securing the united vote of the ultra
slavery propagandists of the South for the
next term, that he is ready to advance sentl-
ments of the most abhorent nature and the
most obnoxious to the whole free State por-
ton of the confederacy, with the exception OF
the partizan hangers on and otlce-holders
who receive their means of sustenanee from
tho government CRIB.
The President is Enthusiastically silent up
on the infamous outrages committed upon the
people of Kanzas, at the polls, by the on
slaught upon them of the Missourians, and
also the recent invasions of the territory by the
horde of Missouri invaders under the direction
of Governor of his own appointment, the
murder of Dow, and other like outrages.-
These all.important and stirring topics are
otl deemed worthy of comment in mes
sage from President sworn to maintain
the laws and protect from lawless violence the
inhabitants of territory under the special
charge of the general government Yet he
can go out of his way to stigmatize as reyolu-
ionary and reasonable, amoyement carried
on in Kauzas, precisely like that which he en-
dorsed in a sister State, for the framing of
State Constitution, and organizing State
government, on the genuine popular sover-
eighty" principle, of which the administra-
ten and its adherents had previously yaunted
so much.

IMPROVED FIRE ARMs.-We have informa-
ton that Eli Thayer, Esq, of Worcester,
Mass, has invented and is manufacturing fire.
arms, said to be greatly superior to Sharp's.
They can be loaded more rapidly than Sharp's,
and will carry two ounce ball or slug with
great precision for mile. They load at the
breech. Common United States musSets can
be supplied with the improvement and fur
nlshed complete with bayonets by the whole
sale, at $l2 piece. Every pioneer to Kan
Gas from the East should provide himself
with weapon of defence, with a good stock
of powder and ball. The border ruffians
have not yet given up their designs on Kan
zas. The only argum ents with tyrants are
those of q personal nature. Thayer's rifles
are sold only to Free State men.
We copy the above from the last number
of the Kanzas Pioneer, published at Law
renee, Kanzas Territory. We have been
aware of the fact for some time that Mr.
Thayer was manufacturing at the stone shop,
erected by him in the south part of the city,
a large number Of these improved weapons of
defence, for the use of the peaceful settlers of
Kanzas in the defence OF their homes and fire.
sides from the aggressions of the border ruff
fans, and from the activity which prevails in
the workshop, and the rapidity with which
the work is being executed, we doubt not
that the first opening of navigation will find
the Fee State men of Kanzas even better pre-
pared to resist aggressions upon their rights,
than ever before.

improvement About Town.

Judging by the number and amount of i'm
provements made in Worcester during the last
year or two, in the way of the erection Of
splendid blocks and other edidces, now COM
pleted. or in process of rapid completion, one
could arrive at no other conclusion than that
business activity in this locality has well sus-
tanned Its activity, during the general lull
which has prevailed elsewhere. Besides the
extensive establishments for mechanical ope-
atoms, erected by VIM. I. Merrifeld and 9th
ers, we have witnessed, during that period,
the successive erection of ediices like Flagg's
| Block, Clark's. Block, the Worcester House
Block, the Bay State House Block, and the
magnificent Mechanics Hall Building. The
hew hotel, soon to be opened, will be one of
the finest and most extensive in New Eng
| land, out of Boston.
The Mechanics Hall Building is under a
speedy progress toward completion, and bids
fair to be one of theInost solendid public edi-
fees in the State, and will afford hall of the
largest size in New England, sufficient to ac-
accommodate, with ease, upwards of five thou
sand persons, standing. The building, which
is of the Cornthian style, has a front of 100
feet, by l45 feet in the rear, and is 20 feet in
height. On the first floor are to be four stores
in front, and two in the rear, beside the main
entrance, 81 feet wide. On the second floor
are to be five offices in front, and two library
rooms in the rear, beside the passage way, 20
feet wide extending across the building to
the smaller hail. so by 90 feet in the rear part.
The Sd and 4th stories are to be appropriated
for the large hall, which is to measure, with
in the ceiling 1870 by so feet,and to be 40 feet
ford the best facilities for mass meetings and
conventions of any in New England. The
whole cost OF the building, including land,
will be about 100000.
The Improvements in progress on the old
American house building, have proceeded
with unwonted celebrity, and we shall soon
witness the completion of an undertaking
which will be quite an addition to that bust
ness section of the city, in the shape of stores,
offices, &c.
The church of the Third Baptist Society,
on Main street, which has just been opened
for public worship, is an important addition
to that growing section of the city, but no
greater, we believe, than its increasing wants
demand. 1t is of brick, and in the Norman
style Of architecture. The pews are about
one hundred in number, all on the first floor,
and on an average will accommodate six per-
sons each, thus easily accommodating six or
seven hundred persons. In it is splendid
organ, before noticed. The whole cos of the
church, including the veutry and land, is about
S25, 200.

ANEoDoTE or THE NEW CHAp1A1N.-The
Rev. Henry Clay Dean, the present chaplain
to the United States Senate, was some years
since resident of Northwestern Virginia..
While preaching one day at church situated
few miles from Paramount, he was ANNOYED
by the inattention of his congregation as
manifested in turning their heads to see every
body who came iu. Brethren" said he, at
is very difficult to preach when thus inter
rupted. Now, do you listen to me and will
tell the name of every man as he enters the
church" OF course this remark attracted
universal attention. Presently some one en-
tered =" Brother William Saturfield |" called
out the preacher, while that 'brother" was
astonislled beyond measure, and endenvored
In vain to guess what was the matter. Anoth-
er person came in" Brother Joseph Miller I"
bawled the preacher with like result; and
so perhaps in other cases. After awhile the
congregation were amazed at hearing the
preacher call out in a loud voice, "a little

REMARKABLE FEAT OF TWO HoRsEs.-A
pair OF horses belonging to Charles Symonds
of Danyer, becoming frightened, cleared
themselves from carriage in one Of the
streets OF Salem, on Wednesday evening, and
ran turiously through the Eastern Railroad
depot, and out upon the track about mile,
towards Lynn. They were stopped by falling
into culyert nearly twenty feet deep, in the
vicinity of g Castle HILL" An engine was
started after them, and the horses, with por-
ton oil the front runners of the sleigh attach
ed to them, were found so entangled as entre-
ly to prevent any further progress. They were
extrieated and led back over the road. having
apparently sustained no injury except the loss
of all their shoes.

In the. New York Legislature, bills

A California letter, speaking of the
extravagant spirit that prevails everywhere in
that State, says "Apples (of large size. to
besure,) were offered at fruit stands tor sale
at four dollars and fifty cents apiece. The

are many people indiscreet enough TO pur-
chase and eat them, even at this rate

SCIENCE AND THE WEATHER.-The Sun
DAYS for the last few months have been I'M
usually stormy, aHd we should think had af-
forded relief enough for the clergy to have
stock of sermons ahead. 1t was foul weather

In the last twenty Sundays, eighteen have

was serious talk of changing the Lyeeum lee.
lures, because everybody said that FRIDAYS
were stormy days.
There must be some reason for the regular
lty with which one storm follows another
and DR.. Perkins, who records the state of the
atmosphere at certain hours of each day, to
make returns to the Smithsonian Institute in
Washington, accounts fol- it on the SUPPOSE,
ton Of atmospheric waves, according to Es-
py's theory, and recently showed us chart
on which these waves were marked, in the
last two months, by the rising and falling of
the thermometer and barometer. He gives
the course of these waves as noted, starting
from the Mississippi, touching on the Atlan-
tic coast, and again at Halifax. There is no
reason why the course and condition of the
winds should not as well be understood as of
the tldes--and some day they will be.-Ne,o-
