Kind Friends One and all, we wish you n
"llappy New Year" The numerous and valua-
bic testimonials We have received, preparatory up
on entering upon the second year Of our labors in
our present sphere, in the form of subscriptions to
TINS PnGSix, places us under renewed obligations
to do all that within us lies to contribute to the en-
tortainmont and happiness Of those with whom we
are in weekly communication.
The feast to which you are this week invited is
not altogether one Of our own choice. The unex-
pected reception of the Presidents Message at a
comparatively late hour, has trenchod upon the
space we had proposed to occupy in the discussion
Of matters Of more interest, IL not Of impor-
lance to our readers. Those, however, who are in
the habit of examining current political topics
would hardly have forgiven us had we neglected to
place before them in full, that portion Of the Mes
sage having the most intimate relations, and the
greatest bearing upon, the Presidential campaign
soon to commence. Receive the yianls, dear read
crs, as they are, aud look not so much to their in
trinsic merits as to the spirit in which they arc
presented.
We have only room to add that Il shall be our
constant ondeavor to so cater for the columns Of the
paper we send you, that cur greeting and friendly
salutations shall prove heartfelt and sincere.

A strong apprehension exists that said misun-
Outstanding may lead TO civil strife and blood

later intelligence from Europe.
The news by this arrival comprise several
features of interest. Kars has fallen by fam

the garrison are in the hands of the Russians.

whole affair." coull not well have been worse,
aud we trust it will be the official death Of him.
His final change of policy did not gain him the
confidence and respect of the free state men in
Kanzas they considered it evidence merely
that he had not courage to consummate the plot
into which he had entered with Aichison and
his gang. II Shannon should fail Of confirm
alton by the United States Senate, from the dis
gust of the ultra slavery propaeandists with
his yacilalion and ineiliciency for their purpo-
ses, everybody will rejoice at it.
The war being at an end, the next question
is, who pays the bills Shannon will occupy
the curious position of sanctioning the claims
of both parties in the war. The Whole ex-
pense of the campaign Oh both sides cannot
fall much short of 500, 900. The ruiHans
must be paid of course, as they were enrolled
by authority OF the governor, and the governor
has since promised the free state men that they
shall be paid because they were put TO the trou-
BILE of seli-delense by his misconcepion of the
facts. Fortunately the House of Represensa-
uves vote the appropriations.
The result of the war leaves the free state
cause in Kanzas in excellent position for the
future. Any future foray of the Aichison gang
is not probable But Slavery will not by any
means abandon the struggle. The southern
states are beginning 10 move in earnest for the
settlement of kanzas by Shareholders. Ofths
nobody can complain. But it must be met by
corresponding efforts ut the North and West.
Emigrant societies are being organized in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. and senator Brown Of
the former state has published plan for max
ing Kanzas slave state, which he thinks should
be adopted by Mississippi and all other slave
states. lie advises the legislature to levy a
tax Of one dollar for each slave, which would
amount to S325, 900 in Mississippi. With this
he would buy 800 slaves, which he would send
with 300 masters to Kanzas, to be worked and
owned there as the property of the state Of
Mississippi, while the masters do all the voting
and fighting requisite TO make Kanzas slave
state. If every slave state will do the same
thing, senator Brown feels sure that the Kan
zas question will be settled satisfactorily to the
South. There is ono consideration that seems
to have escaped senator Brown. The amount
he proposes to raise wonld be barely sufficient
to get his emigranls to Kanzas and sustain them
for one year; afterwards how are the 800 gen
tlemen shareholders TO live, with only one nc
gro each to support them! Mississippi would
he obliged TO repeat her Kanzas tax Annually
for several years at least. But if every slave
state should adopt senator Browns splendid
scheme, it woald take less than 5000 slayehol
ders and an ANAL nnunhar If elaves in,n X On
zas, not enough TO outvote the present settlers
We can beat slavery out in Kanzas, with fail
play, even if the South raises its dollar tax OF
each slave, to establish slavery there. lie
