We saw Maj. JEFF Buford in our city yesterday.
We understand he has with him the negroes pro-
posed to be sold for the patriotic purpose of car
rying cmigrants to Kansas. The negroes will be
sold Monday, and the proceeds will be religious
ly applied to the plan of carrying company to
the Territory. Had We few more such determ-
ined, liberal men to step forward in the cause,
the friends of the South in Kansas, and the bor-
dering counties of Missouri, would soon be re-
lieved of all anxiety for the noble cause in which
they are laboring. Maj Buford is making great
sacrifce-he is actuated by no selfish motive
He embarks ample fortune-breaks up the en-
dearments and associations of home-eaves a
State in which he has been highly appreciated and
least a prO6tless and troublesome enterprise, to
do his mite to secure the vital interests of this
section, and which all of US agree, are to be ma
terially affected by the character of the institu-
tions that may prevail in Kansas. We hope,
therefore, he will not meet with ingratitude and
GOODNESS, but with the warmest sympathy and
most earnest assistance of those who are able to
contribut; 10 the cause.

Astounding Pe,senin. Case In England.


A most astounding case Of poisoning occupies
considerable space in public attention. The cir
cumstances are briefly these. DIR. William Palm
er, a surgeon, but who made betting his profess
sion-in other words a s'sporting man." was in
company with a gentleman named Cooke, ut
Bugeley, Stafordshire, settling up some gambling
accounts, when Cooke, who had just drank q
glass of liquor, suddenly became sick, and ex-
claimed that Palmer had poisoned him. Cooke
died the next day, and Palmer was arrested. A
discovery that Palmer was indebted large sum
to Cooke, confirmed the suspicion against him,
and it was remembered that his, (Palmer's wife
had died suddenly Of symptoms similar to those
which had carried off Cooke. This led to further
enquiry, when the astounding facts came gradu-
ally out that sixteen persons, all Immediately con-
nected with Palmer, among them his brother and
bis wife's mother had died suddenly within
short tims, and on the lives of some of these
persons he had affected insurance, while with the
others he had betting transactions. Palmer had
obtained an insurance upon the life of his wife
for $1,000, and upon that of his brother for
E23, 900. The most astounding incident of these
developments is that Lord George Centick, (who
it will be remembered, died suddenly.) had trans
actions with Palmer, and it is now believed that
he was poisoned. The corpses of some of the
supposed victims have been exhumed, and sub.
mitted to chemical research for traces of poison.
Strychnine, or some other vegetable preparation,
is supposed to have been the means employed
1t is some what curious that the accused had a
fast horse that figured conspicuously in his turf
sLeculations, and bore the name of Strycitnine.
