ka Bill. These things were calculated
Justly to excite the Indignation of the peo,
pie in Missouri aud Kansas Territory. Mr..
Oliver Indignantly repelled the terms Of
bur'er rufians' as applied to patriots con
sc onsoftheir rights and with nerve enough
to MAINTAIN them.
Mr.. Oliver did not know of any Missou-
riaus, who voted in Kansas. He had wit.
messed hundreds of Eastern men returning
from the territory, who said they had seen
the elephant. filled their contract to vote,
and were going home. T, authorize the

Mr.. Cumbach, Of Indiana, admitted, as
charged by Mr.. Oliver, that the design Of

but would establ sh a ,ordon of Free States

Emusic hath Charms"

The truth of tie above quotation has never
been called IN question before this week
Heretofore it has been an axiom, that music
"has charms, to soothe" the sternest heart
But the experience of band Of serenaders in
our midst is to the contrary, and we place it
upon record as warning to all young men
unsteady inclined" A few nights since a
company of young men prepared to discourse
bewitching strains, repaired to the house of a
certain young lady on - street, and ev-
erything being in order, commenced their pro
gramme. Our informant is certain that the
music ,oas bewitching, and further that the
night was cold and unpleasant But our Trou-
badors only played the more Justify, until
their presence was acknowledged by the rails
ing of window, and forthwith token of re-
gard was hurled at them, not in the shape Of a
boquet, but of a boot! The serenading party
were in an embarrassing situation, convinced,
like the old woman, who sold apples, that
+" something was wrong, somcl0here." The
tableaux presented at the moment the boot
was passed round, was disturbed by the mas
ter of the house presenting himself at the front
door, with polite invitation to the musical
party to clear out" which invitation after
due consideration was accepted and the party
Gcleared." The facts established in our mind
by this incident are, that some folks have "no
music in their souls" and that the efforts of
some young men to captivate the fair sex, are
bootless. Whether the gentlemen aforesaid
are still organized as serenading band, we
"dinna ken"

0FIf any thing on earth ever fell into un.
fortunate and incompetent hands, it is our I'M
fortunate canal, which ought to be the avenue
for a commerce that would make large city
of itself at it's terminus. But as it is now
managed, it is a mere trap to catch those who
rely on it. Instead of buying it, the State
ought to declare its franchises forfeited by
abuse. The Petersburgh Reporter makes the
following comments:
We understand the Trustees are about to
draw the water out of the canal, for the pur-
pose Of cleaning out the sand at the summit,
The canal has been dry nearly all the season,
in consequence Of breaks, and they should have
improved that opportunity to clean it-but Ing
stead Of that just as soon as navigation opens
it must be closed again to do what they should
have done while it was out of repair. There
certainly must be some mismanagement some
where.

Indiana STATE Far.

The State Fair closed on Friday last. The
entire receipts Of the Fair were $4,000, sew
sral thousands more than the receipts last
year. TIE annual address which was adver-
tised to be delivered on Thursday evening,
was failure owing to the non-appearance Of
the gentleman selected, as the speaker for the
occasion. The premiums were mostly dis
tributed among the successful competitors on
Friday. The fifth Annual Fair of the In
diana State Agricultural Society, will long be
remembered as one of the most profitable,
and pleasant ever held in the State The
State Journal in winding up its notice of the
Fair in Mondays paper says:
Saturday was rather busy day on the
ground. The stock and other exhibited arti-
cles were removed and much "noise' and
some confusion" prevailed IN the general
breaking up. The out side shows struck their
tents and furied their sails and colors. The
gingerbread and cider trade became suddenly
dull. and mineral water and lager beer became
3 weight in the market. Aligators and big
women were at discount and wonderful
boys and huge bears resumed their accustom-
ed quietness among the balance Of earth's an
imals.

The MISTRESS OF LOUIS NAPOLEON The
Inverness (Scotland) Advertiser says: Among
the gay equipage, which may be seen faunt-
ing through Strathpeffer at present, is one
co containing visitor Of some notoriety. That
fair lady with the clear aud beautiful English
complexion, who is sitting in the carriage
along with the smart looking gentleman, has
a history of her own; she is-or was-no less
a parsonage than Miss Howard, the ci-deuant
mistress and should have-bcen wife of Louis
Napoleon, Emperor of the French. Her name
is now changed to that of Mrs. Trelawney,
and her companion, who is said to be allied to
a noble English family, is her husband. The
pair reside at a mansion house in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Strathpeffer, of which they
have a lease for some years. Days have
changed since the Oueand special constable Of
London took fancy to the clever and beauti-
full girl, who accompanied him to Paris, and
who, according to report, acted as his ''guide,
philosopher and friend,' amidst the perilous
changes of the presidentship and the coup
detat The man about town is now an Enpe-
ror, husband, and the father of legitimate
prince; whilst his former bosom companion is
buried in the Highland solitude, separated
from her children and all the splendors of the
Tulleries LouisNapoleon or Mrs Trelawney
we wonder which is the happier Of the two
or rather, might we not ask, which is the
more miserable?

WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
Among the official dispatches from Gov
Geary of Kansas, is one dated Lccompton Oct,
18th, in which he details circumstances at
tending the arrest Of an organized band consist
ing Of about $40 persons, among whom We're
a few omen and children comprising seven
families. This party was regularly formed in
military order under command of PomeFcy
and Colonies Eldrdge, Terry and others. They
had with them 20 wagons. in which were
supply Of new arms, mostly muskets with
bayonets, sabres, and a lot Of saddles, &C.,
sufficient to equip battalion consisting ofone
fourth cavalry and the remainder in&ntry.-
Besides their arms, which Gov. Geary says,
were evidently intended for a military organic
alton, and which were in the wagons. A
search was strongly objected to. The emil
grants were provided with shot guns, rifles,
pistols, &C., sufficient for the ordinary uses
of persons travelling in Kansas or any other of
the Western territories.
They had with them neither oxen, house
hold furniture, Merchandise, tools, agricultural
implements, nor any of the necessary appurti-
nances of peaceful settlers. They were per-
mitted to pursue their journey under escort
of squadron Of dragons, and subsequently,
Geary according to promise, met them near
Topeka. They apologised for their evident
and undehiable disregard of Gov. Gary's pro-
ciamation, which apology though plausible was
far froin satisfactory. After welcoming them
as peaceful citizens and assuring them that he
would positively enforce his proclamation and
suffer no party of men to enter or travel
through the Territory with warlike or hostile
Appearances to the terror of the peaceful Cit
liens, and danger ofre-enacting the disgraceful
and alarming scenes through which the inhab-
itants had so recently passed.
Gov. Geary insisted on the immediate dis
bandment Of the combination, which was
agreed to with alacrity The majority of the
men were evidently gratifed to learn that
they had been deceived in relation to Kansas
affairs, and that peace and quiet instead OF
strife and contention were reigning there.
His remarks were heard with frequent apprc-
baton, and at their close the organization was
broken up, and its members dispersed in vpr-
Gus directions after they had been dismissed
from custody.
