To such insults the South ought

they represent, and they do not con.

Sharp down East Invention.

A pickpocket Detector has been
invented down East. il consists ex-
ternally of a case, resembling that OF
a watch in size and shape. 1t has a
fob chain or string, and is worn 10
the pocket like watch. Within
the case is a belland a spring ham
mer, the latter connected With the
fob chain. The superstition is, that
the thief supposes the fob chain is
attached to d bona fds watch, and
will accordingly pub the chain in or
der to obtain the prize. But instead
of getting the watch, the ratek gets
him. The pull sounds the alarm
bell; owner Of the watch grabs the
rogue, and the policeman conducts

The New Compensation Bill,

The new Compensation Bill, just

pay Of members by a considerable
amount over the accustomed figures.
It gives nominalIy So, COCOA year to
each member, meaning $4,000 a
session. So that each member viii

the two sessions ofany Congress
This is more than double the sum that
members have received hitherto, at
So per day. The new bill continues
the mileage Of members, but takes
fiom them the books which they used
to receive. 1t also makes a deduc-
ton for absence unless occasioned
by sickness.

the Diplomatic and Consular system
of the United States. It provides
that ambassadors and ENJOYS Extra

thority, that a Fillmore Elector Cor
the State of Louisiana, after a trip
North, passed down the river a few
days since on his way home, with
the view of resigning his trust and
taking the field for Buchanan. A
trip through the Northern States
has taught him that the post Of duty

in the democratic ranks. This infor-
nation is derived through Dr.. Sam'l

Senator Sumner,

The Washington Star says the last

Senator Sumner has not resumed his

this is not i'll health. A stout, hearty

be injured to that extent by. a few

some shame for the imposition he has
been, endeayoring to palm off on the
country, but if is more probable thai
he is still trying to humbug the PEG,

the idea that he was seriously dam

The Crops Of the Present Year.

The Craps Of the Present Year.
We find lii the Railroad Record for
the current week, a leading article on
the crops of the present year. 1t
sums up as follows:
We think it may be perfectly re-
lied on that the corn crop Of this year
fthe corn crop never fails) viii not be
more than half that of last; but last
years crop was much above the aver
age, and there is a large amount of
surplus corn on hand. There will,
therefore, be no real want of corn.
Again, we consider it clearly set
tied that the crops of oats and hay
are short. 10 a considerable extent
The result is that the supply offood
for animals in the winter will be short
at least more than usual. How far
this will affect the pork and beef
market we do not know; but we think
lit beyond a doubt that the price of
corn, oats and hay viii be higher
than usual.
The wheat crop of this year was
generally good. and there will be a
sufficient supply Of bread.
The potatoe crop We fear will be
short; not because enough was not
put in-for there was a great breadth
of land this year planted--but in
most places they are sproattng, and
will decay early.

THE KANSAS WAR

LIE lateSt received SG. LOUIS. pa
pers confirm the telegraphie reports
of outrages by the abolitionists in
Kansas. The details are given which
shows the exploits of tho aFree State
men" to have been numerous. Be-
sides the capture Of Franklin, they
have attacked and broken up New
Georgia, colony of Pro-Slavery
men near Ossawatonie; attacked the
house Of Dir. White, in Lykins coun-
ty, and forced him to take refuge in
Missouri; captured forty pro-slavery
men under Captain Treadwell, and
also twenty others under Col. Titus,
and lastly, have attacked Lecompton,
and rescued Robinson and the other
Free State prisoners confined there.
In doing this lastdeed, they had to
overpoRer the guard Of federal SOL
diers stationed over the prisoners
a circumstance which will have to be
tried as actual rebellion by the ad.
ministration. We hear nothing at
all, however, of Gen. Smith, and but
little of Gov. Shannon. The St.
Louis Evening News says it is quite
certain, that if something be not done
shortly to prevent such catastro-
phe, there will be a fierce battle, or
a series of battles, fought in the Ter
ritory, between the Missourians and
Lanes and Browns men,. The same
paper says:
The border papers received last
night detail a long array Of outra-
ges purported to have been the work
of armed bands of the Free State
party; who, having been reinforced
by Lanes army, have now taken the
field, aud declare for war. Making
the necessary allowance for exagger-
atien by the pro-slayery papers, it is
evident that the present hostilities
have been commenced by the free
State men. For sometime past, they
have been organizing, no doubt in
view Of the present outbreak, and
are now so well drilled, systematized
and concentrated, as TO DO q really
formidable army. Lane, notwith-
standing all the vigilance used to de-
tect and circumveEt him, has sue
ceeded IN giving bis watchers the
slip. By some roundabout way he
has got into the Territory with his
whole army, and, according to his
ayowed intentions, has raised the
standard of revolt against the Terri
torial authorities. His coming was
the signal fer an uprising It his
sympathizers, and there are low two
or three strong divisions of Free
State men occupying different points
South Of Kansas river, able at a mo-
