Il able to announce another new work by this
celebrated and popular American Authoress.-
a celebrated critic, who has read the work in
manuscript, says, India, or the Pearl Of

work Mrs. southworth has yet written. 1t 10
one great merit in the lady's ictons, that they
faithfully dolineate life and manners, without
entering on vexed social, religious, or political
issues In India,' the reader will find vivid
delineation of the South But this is not
all. The characters are boldly drawn, the in
cideRts natural, and the action of the story ra-
pid and absorbing. The two heroines are flne-
~ contrssted. The hero is a noble creation
strong OF will, earnest in purpose, firm for tho
right, and persevering to tho end in whatever he
believes to be Justice and truth. We cannot re-
call, in any late work, character SO ideally lof-
y,yet SO faithful to reality. The heroic spirit
IN which he goes west, abandoning tho luxuries
he has been accustomed to, and settling down in
his rude log hut, determined to conquer fortu no
with his own good right hand, is, indeed, the
true type OF sclf-relying American. No fc-
ton OF Mrs. Soathworth's bears such proofs OF
careful finish. II ought, on these several &C.
counts, to have popularity unrivalled by any
OF her former works, spite of the immense cir
culation thoy have attained. 1t will be publish

Through the medium of fiction, to be able to
convey great moral truths, and at the same time
to amuse, instruct, and Undue the mind with tho
lessons which il has been the authors aim to inn
part, without the readers being at all sensible
of the influences brought TO bear on him, is the
very highest triumph of genius. Such is the case
in the work before IT treats the subject, ,ho'
not a novel one, in n more sensible and practi-
cal manner than we have ever known il done be-
fore, and so interests us, that do not seem TO
be reading story but beholding living charac-
ters, and scenes passing, as it were, in a panora-
ma fore us. Tho style is elevated, the plot
effective, and filed up in Il mastery manner
The moral lessons inculcated in il are such s to
give it a claim to the favor Of all The good. The
characters are drawn with a close eye to nature,
and marked and distinct in their dcintations
The scenery Of the picture, its lights ard shades
are true to life. The love scene in ono of the
early chapters, is perfect gem. The heroine
sweet Kate, ia a model Of all that is lovcablc I'M
woman. We think the book marks tile advent of
one in the fields of literature, who is destined
not only to adorn il, but also to be the means of
doing much good with her ready pen.

GOVERNOR REEDER AND HIS PLATFoRM--The
late speech of Governor Reeder at the Taberna-
Gle. on Kansas, was one of the most search
Of Kansas affairs that has ever been made
From his late position as Governor Of the
Territory and from his subsequent personal ex-
plorations in Kansas &C., the aforesaid speech
may be regarded. in fact, as invested with the
authority Of an official report And what pic
ture does it present US Of the duplcity, treach-
cry and cold booded raffanism which Mr.. Prcsi-
dent Pierce has pursued for the subjugation Of
Kansas to the institution Of slavery!-what an in
depreciation Of the squatter sovereignty doctrine
Of the Kansas Nebraska bill
Governor Reeder's platform is very simple.
1t is Kansas as q free State and nothing else.
But to secure the exclusion Of Southern slavery
from Kansas, he adheres to his policy of free
State army Of occupation Of three thousand m en-
and fund Of one million of dollars to subsist
this army for one year. He says-and we sus-
pect he says truly-that no other scheme will Sc
cure Kansas to the North. He says that every
thing is cut and dried between Mr. Pierce and
Mr.. Atchson to have Kansas knocking at the
door of the next Congress for admission into the
Union as slave State. Very well let it be SO
understood let us have a fair fight and no more
democratic lodging, and whether Kansas shall
be admitted as free State or as a slave State
will depend upon the election Of Fremont or
Buchanan.
We think it pretty certain that Fremont would
veto bill for the admission of Kansas as slave
State, through border ruffan coercion, while we
all know that Mr.. Buchanan would be compelled
to sign it; for it is his bond-it is the pound of
flesh pledged to,the democratic Shylocks at Gin
cinnati but believing that with the admission of
Kansas as free State the South may be conci-
lated with another slave State or two from
Texas, we think that all good Union men who
desire general reform in the government at
Washington, may cordially support Fremont
without much alarm concerning the consequences
to Kansas or the Union.

TIRE SENATORIAL CAUCUs-IMPORTANr DISCUSSION
ON CALIFORNIA AFFAIRs-THE ARMY BILL AGAIN
BLOCKED, ETC.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1855.
The democratic Senator's caucus this morning. and
resolved unanimously TO continue session until the 9TH
Of March next unless the Army Appropriation bill should
be sooner passed. II urged that as the members
are now receiving annual salaries, the country entitled
to their whole time, and 10 desert their posts here while
the public peace is tbreaen would be base treachery
Such, predicted, would BE the action OF the Senate.
Gen. Houston presented TO the Senate this morning the
resolution OF the Texas Legislature asking the Interer
ence OF the federal In behalf OF Judge Terry
now in the hands Of the San Francisco Vigilance Commit
tee. Senator Brown, Of Mississippi, said honora
bic man never lived than Judge Terry, He had known
him from infancy. Mr. Bell, Of Tennessee read let
ter received from California charging that Judge Terrys
unfortunate situation the resui, OF his mpuive
nature, and that but for him the Vigilance Committee
would have dispanded long ago Mr.. Weller regretted
that he was forced to say word relative to the matter
but he was satisfied that the Committee would hold
gcther until after the Presidential election. The resolu
ton was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The Kansas question discussed by Mr.. Bell Of
Tennessee at great length who urged that the President
be invested with extraordinary power 10 crush out re-
bellon in that Territory.
The Senate resolved to adhere 10 It's action In striking
the Kansas proviso from the Army bill, by vote OF
thryiwo TO six This resolution received by the
House, laid the table and closes again the chances for
any agreement between tho two bodies.
The House did nothing today but amuso themselves
by calling the ayes and nays on motion 70 adjourn.

whole question legitimately in the hands Of &c "a
gress and denies the right Of the Territories un-
organised as States, to interfere with it. In the
other, he as plumply declares they have right
to determine for themselves, whether slavery
shall or shall hot exist among them. In thus
veerng about, it is curious to observe that Mr.
Buchanan, g.s provisoist, was charged by Mr.
Yancey u. his address to the people of Alabama
with " designing to keep the new Territories
exclusively for the settlement of Northern emf
gratis" This was deemed by him bid for
Northern votes; but now since geography and
sectionalism have been set up as bugbears in the
canvass, the South forgets its former opinions.
and Mr.. Buchanan the champion Of Territorial
interdicts and interference, becomes their guide
philosopher and friend.n
But what confidence is to be placed in states
man of this description? What certainty can
there be expected in the future political action
or in the foreign and domestic policy Of such a
man? From first to last Mr.. Buchanan has
veered to all points of the compass, and set his
sails for every wind that blows. Those who en-
bark with him for the wars as the champion Of
the fair, might have some excuse for their con-
Duct but those who love their country, and wish
to see it free from foreign and border wars, will
lower their lances and speedily disembark.
