Judge Lumpkin. of Georgia. recently related
the following anrcdo,- to illustrate the resort of
some men when hard pushed in nm argument. An
Old Baptist preacher was defending his doctrine
against man as ignorant rs he was obstinate =
AT length the preacher said TO his opponent:
Now, look here. my friend. don't you believe
what is To be will bel"
''N". | don't at all | believe what is to be-

And there was an end Of the argument.

News from Kansas.

The steamer Arabia arrived yesterday at
noon, from the Missouri River. She left Wes-
ton on Wednesday, and Kansas City Wednes-
day night. The United States Marshal, Dom
aldson, and two Deputies, Col. Preston and
Capt Wallace, were passengers, and the Mar
shall had with him a requsition from Gov.
Shannon upon the authorities Of Missouri for
the delivery of Charles Robinson, the bogus
Governor of the State of Kansas, who stands
indicted in the District Court for treason
against the United States. Two Of these Of
fcers remained at Lexington, while the Mar
shall proceeded to Jefferson City with the view
of getting the proper order for the delivery of
the prisoner. He was left at Jefferson on Fri
day, at P. NJ. The Uanaosing Governor was
quartered at the City Hotel in Lexington, and
expressed himself ready to return to Kansas,
whenever it was ascertained that there had
been any legal proceedings against him. He
was we'll treated at Lexington.
When the Arabia left Leavenworth, there
was a report that five hundred men had an
swered the call of the Marshal of the Terri
tory, and were encamped in the vicinity of
Lawrence, and a still larger number were at
Lecompton. Their avowal is said to be to
compel the people of Lawrence to acknowl-
edge the organic law of the Territory thing
which they are not doing now, in resisting the
process of the United States District Court,
and the indictments recently returned by the
Grand Jury. The result will soon be known.
Col. Sumner and his troops were at Fort
Leayenworth, nor were they to be called into
the field.
Sheriff Jones was convalescent, and there
is every reason to expect his recovery.
There was good deal of excitement at
Kansas City and LeaVenworth, growing out
of the condition of affairs in the Territory.
Brown, the editor or one of the publishers
of the Herald of Freedom at Lawrence and a
man by the name of Jenkins, citizen of Law
renee have both been arrested. Indictments
were found against them, and they were both
making their escape from the Territory. They
were mounted and armed, but were captured,
Notwithstanding, by Mr.. E. M. McGhee, a
citizen of Kansas, on the road between Kan
sas and Westport, and by him taken to West
port and delivered to the town authorities
He was afterwards presented with a splendid
sword, as a compliment to his prowess in cap
turing the mischief makes.

Further Details of the Panama Accident.

From New GRENADA.--We have Panama
papers to the Sd, and Aspinwall to the 9th inst,
and.a Slip from the Aspinwall Courier Office
dated the It'll inst, from which we copy all
that was known there relative to terrible dis
aster On the Panama Railroad. zs-----
Yesterday morning, three trains left this
city for Panama, with the passengers OF the
steamer George Law, in number near nine hun
dred.
A baggage train preceded the passengers
and the engine ran off the track on Obispo
bridge, some fifteen miles this side of Panama
Passage being impossible after this mishap.
it was determined to send the passengers back
to AspinwalI. At Matachin two miles this
side of Obispo, one ofthe two engines gave out,
and the other engine had to take both trains,
consisting of some twenty cars
About half a mile the other side of
Gatun Bridge, the second car from the loco
motive ran off the track from some cause now
inexplicable, and eight others followed; some
were piled up on top of others across the
track, and others were rolled on either side.
These cars were filed almost entirely with
steerage passengers.
AS soon as possible after the crash, tidings
were sent to this place. and train was dis
patched for the purpose hf bringing down the
WOUnueu
Over fifty were brought down, two of whom
died here before they could be removed to the
hospital
After these were cared for as well as posi-
BILE, the train with additions was returned to
bring down the uninjured passengers that had
been left at the place of the accident.
This train returned at o'clock this morn
I ing with few more wounded and the most of
the passengers.
AT the latest advices from the scene of this
sad affair, the wreck had not yet been entirely
cleared, but some thirty bodies had been taken
out.
But very few ladies and children were in
Ejured.
Among the wounded and killed were num-
Der of the brakemen of the trains. And we
learn that Mr.. Dollhouse, Jamaican, the eff
Gent and courteous clerk of Messrs Lansburg
g. Bro, was killed. We do not learn, as yet,
of any other residents who were killed or seri-
| ousiy wounded.
The Panama and Aspinwall papers are filled
with statements and details relative to the late
massacre at the former place.
The Panama Herald states that the wound
Ell in the affray are all getting on as well as
can be expected.
The same per announces, on the authority
of private letters, that a severe shock of an
earthquake has beenfelt at Kingston, Jamaica,
which destroyed much property and swallow
ed up one-half of the Parish church.

DEATH OF MOTHER THEoDoRE.-Itis with
sorrow we have to announce the death of the
Mother Superior of the Catholic Female Semi
nary at St. Marys, in this county. Her death
took place at the Seminary on Wednesday
last, after lingering illness. Mother Supe-
rior was kind hearted and excellent matron.
She will be long remembered by young ladies
who have been educated at the place. She
often sat half hour in our sanctum, giving US
good advice, and answering any inquiry we
might be curious to make. She spoke beau
tifuly, and inteligently on any subject intro

I Night before last, we received no Eastern
mail. Whether the wagons used by the z. o.
Department, alongside 3of railroad track IS
precisely illustrating the Old Fogeyism Of the
Campbell Department by the side Of. the pro-
gress of the age and of the people--whether
weather has affected the mule teams, or the
mail agent, Billy Brown, is too busy shaking
his head over political matters, or the Depart
ment is too closely engaged in ferreting out
Know Nothing Postmasters, we do not know
but we do know that we were yesterday
without an Eastern mail, that this is very
common occurrence, and that to getsan East
ern mail West of Indianapolis the day when
due, would be one of the most astonishing
events Of the last two months.
There is a general and indignant desire to
know how long this state of things is to be
continued. Is there no help for the West till
the Pierce Administration goes out of power?
How much longer is the refusal of the Depart
ment to pay one Railroad Company the reason
1DiC dSh6Q lOT CIlG Oh IIl6 IQdiIg
to be permitted to injure the interests of thou
sands, where the payment of this price would
only involve tens or hundreds We are now
by mail, three or four days distant from Gin
cinnati and Louisville, when we should be not
one day, or but one day. And yet this thing
has been continued for weeks, and we see no
relief ahead. This is portion Of the beau
ties of the Pierce Northumberland yet it
| is asking the people to keep it in power four
years longer Why if Pierce were nominated
for reelection, the very groans of the people
under the rascally Encouragement of the
Post Office Department, would oyerwhelm the
shouts of his friends. But when are the evils
under which we suffer to be renedied? That's
the question.

O. An individual named Carter, who dis
graces even the Enquirer by acting as its edi-
tor at different times, yesterday published
grossly abusive article in reference to u.s.
Now we have simply to say to this person,
with whom no honorable man would associ-
ate privately, much less affiliate in newspaper
connection, that if he gives the public another
word from his pen relative to US, we shall de-
file our columns with few incidents from his
life, the result of which will be, that Evans
Vile must soon be too hot for Mr.. Carter. His
operation in cheating the Post Office Depart
ment by sending through the mall diaper pins
and other trinkets to ladies, wrapped up in
newspapers, to avoid postage, will be but a
small matter in comparison to other little Cir
cufnstances. The proving of his having two
or more wives at this time, with the base de-
sertion of one, the brutality beating of anoth-
er in this city, &C., &c, will be also probably
but small circumstances in comparison to what
we may say. 1t is we'll for Mr.. Hall to trust
his honor to such defence-but in defending
him Mr.. Carter will please not use further
personalities towards US. If he challenges our
exposure, let him write another article about
the editor of this paper, and simply sign it
with &C. % and he shall see.

Kansas News Missouri Republican.

Much of the news from Kansas which we
have published lately, is necessarily taken
from the Missouri Republican. We here wish
to caution our readers in regard to Kansas
news received through this source. The Re-
publican and its Kansas correspondents are
bitterly prejudiced against the Free State men.
Not once that we have marked, in the whole
course of their reports of Kansas news, have
they in single particular thrown any blame
upon the Missourians, but have passed by the
most dastardly acts Of the Ruffians, not with
COMMUNICATION, at least without rebuke-while
every word and movement of the Free State
men, have been stigmatized as the fruits OF
cbolitionism, and received the bitterest animal
versions. Even the outrages perpetrated
by citizens of Missouri at the Kansas polls
the murders and lynchings-the mobs, the
threats, the prosecutions all been treat
ed by the Republican and its correspondents
as though they were deeds of virtue in defence
from the encroachments Of bloody barbarians
That a paper of the wealth and standing of the
Missouri Republican, paper which can
afford to be independent bold and candid IN Its
opinions, and in their public expression
should disgrace itself by such course, sacrifc-
ing truth and decency to act the sycophant at
the feet of lawless mobs, is without par
allel in the history of American newspapers.
The N. Y Tribune may be just as partial to
the Free State men as is the Republican to the
Missourians, and just as jealous as it is great
deal more powerful in defending their rights
but the Tribune has at least the character of
honesty even when mistaken, and of never
preferring the sacrifice of truth and decency to
losing little political capital. The Republi-
can has the pecuniary means for obtaining late
news from Kansas at an early date, and we in
common with other editors, are compelled to
avail ourselves of its adVantages-but we
again tell our readers to make due allowance
for all the Republicans statements. There is
good deal more rascality in the Kansas de-
partment Of that paper, than among the Free
State men of Kansas.

Visitors from Kentucky.

A company of our Evansville gentlemen Wis
tied Henderson, Ky, yesterday afternoon on
the Rainbow, with band of music, to escort
up the ladies and gentlemen intending to be
present at the May Festival given last evening
in compliment of Henderson. They returned
at o'clock, the music swelling on the breeze,
and the gallant steamer running like a race
horse. There were thirteen couple of the
beauty and ehivalry of Kentucky very
handsome delegation. We trust they enjoyed
themselves last night, and that their happiness
had not single alloy. Now that the young
folks ofboth places have had an opportunity
of becoming acquainted, we hope there has
been new and better bond than all created
to bind together Henderson and Evansville.

A VERY SINGULAR AFFAIR.-A very curl
family in Albany, says the Knickerbocker.--
A mother and her daughter were both con
fined on the same day, each having little
son. In the hustle of the moment both ba-
bies were placed in cradle, and to the confu-
sion of the mothers, when the youngsters
were taken from the cradle they were unable
to tell which was the mothers and which the
daughters soma matter which, of course,
must ever remain mystery. The family is
in great distress over the affair.
