KANSAS Must BE FREE.--The undersigned,
citizens Of Kansas, would most respectfully call
the attention Of the frie nds OF Freedom in the
States to the dcstitution and sutferings in Kan
sss, rs made known to the public in the Report
Of the General Agent OF the Kansas Committee
aud others who have visited our oppressed and
devastated country and we earnestly appeal
to you for immediate ad, SO as to supply those
who will be destitute in Kansas during the com
ing winter, with food. medicine, and clothing,
IN order that the " Free State settlers may
be enabled to remain on the lands which they
have occupied as their homes.
And we would indorse the request made by
the Kansas Central Committee, that all co,tr-
buttons or donations intended for Kansas be
immediately forwarded to the National Kansas
Committee ut Chicago, or to the State orgar-
cation Of the respective States, and we recon-
xnend these organizations as the proper chan
sael for oil Kansas aid, and We take this occa-
sioa to protest against oil agents in the States
mot indersed by these Committees.

Mr.. H. Berdan, distinguished as an inventor, has
completed an enormous oven in Brooklyn, capable
Of baking 100 O00 loavcs of bread day. 1t lis con-
Quoted scientific principles; the heat is regulated
at uniform temperature, and the loaves placed
even bake. So great an economy of labor and fuel
Is effected, that the establishment promises to sell
bread forty per cent cheaper than the prevailing
prices.
The whole apparatus has cost $4,000. All the
machinery, which performs the entire labor, with
the sole exception of the mixing of the bread. is
worked by small steam engine of sixteen horse
power. The oven is perpendicular box Of brick,
about twenty feet in height, and eighteen feet broad
by eight feet in depth 1t stands upon an arched
furnace which supplies the heat, which is kept at
certain temperature by selfacting valve of most
ingenious continuance. The inside of this box is
hollow and in the center of it is endless chain, on
which arc placed thirtytw resting on brackets
These cars receive the bread at the top of the oven
descend the whole extent Of it to door in the lower
end, when it runs out dumps its contents slips along
to another door, takes in another load, pops out
again. dumps out its load travels back to the door
into which it first entered, takes in another load,
and 80 continues on. The machinery by which this
work is performed is surprising for its simplicity
as it Is for its ingenuity.
All the labor of putting the bread into the oven
and drawing it is saved and is always In motion
the bread Is kept at certain temperature, and there
is no waste Of heat by cooling off. The economy in
labor and fuel is almost incredible tenth part of
the labor, and one-twentieth part of the fuel now
used in tho common ovens and bakeries are all suf-
cient for the mechanical bakeries
It will readily he seen that when the work of
three or four hundred bakeries be performed by
one that there must necessarily be immense saw
ing in labor, rents gas fuel, and the thousand lit
tie expenses which unavoidable in small cstab
lishment and that this saving can be put into the
size Of the loaf 1t is stated that by Mr.. Berdan
oven the cost to the consumer of converting bar
rel of -four into bread is about dollar, which, by
the process in use is above seven dollars. This
will enable the new bakery to give loaf for six
pence nearly double the weight of the present loaf
SALE or NrsRoEs.-We learn from the Abbeviile
g. CO. Independent Press, that the negroes on the
estate Of the late Hon. George McDufie, number
ing about 30. have been sold to wealthy Western
planter for $140, 600. being average of
en- hundred dollars each It was stipulated in the
sale that they shall not be separated. ,...

cherries aud pears.

The HARTFORD PRESS after stating the fact.
OF the assaults upon the dwelling Of the Ed
tor Of the LitchaeM Eng, says:
An extraordinary narration Is here presented
for the peaceful village Of Litch6eld. VIVA,
aggravates the offence IL the absence of the
editor when this violence was committed on the
dwelling OF his widowed mother, who was con-
lined to her bed by lingering disease. It was
IN IRE fufilan spirit that fur some time past hal
manifested itself al over the csuntry-one Of
many indications of lawless outrage that has
been engendcred by that reckless partizanship
which defends ard palliates violence. When
SUMNER was assaulted in the sanctuary of the
Senate and beaten to the floor with bludgeon
for words spoken in debate, the Administration
presses in this State manifested q spirit in SYM
pa:hy with the rufian bully rather than the
victim They had apologies tor Brooks and
bcsought their readers to remember the provo
cation. SUMNER had made an unanswerable
speech, and the bludgeon instead of argument
was substituted for an answer The law and
Constitution were violated to obtain revenge,
and to subdue the spirit of freedom.
Herbert killed an Irish waiter, and the sup
porters Of the Administration unitedly opposed
any investigation into the act, hut allowed the
homocile to continac his seat as their friend
and associate.
The lawlcss ontrages in Kansas have no re.
bukc from the Bucllaneer presses and orators
among us, but on the contrary have been en-
couragcd by the sneeriug illusions to the com.
plants Of the suffering inhabitants, whose ap-
peals for protection and sympathies have been
called "shricks for freedom" 1t cannot be
otherwise than that such abasement should
bring its reward. Ruffian violence in Washing
ten and Kansas, begets ruffian violence among
those who encourage and approve it. We've
seen it uprising In our own State. We have
had specimens of it in the Buchaneer assaults
upon the Fremonters in our city. 1t has man.
ifestcd itself In Winsted, where the Herald "
Office has been twice attacked. :. / here in
the usually quiet peaceful and orie. ~ village Of
Litchfeld, we have had evidence of the pervad-
ing spirit Of the Sham Democracy. The silent
acquiescence or approval Of the conduct of the
Border Rufians who destroyed the Free State
presses Of Kansas elected similar outrages from
the low materials Of the same party in Con"ec.
itcut. In these remarks we do not mean to be
understood as saying that all, or that any con.
siderable portion Of the Shamrocrats justify the
outrages IN Litchfeld and elsewhere ia our own
State, but the course which as party they
have pursued in relation to similar disgraceful
acts elsewhere, has fostercd like spirit among
the more desperate here. 1t is duty we all
owe to society, and our country, to rcbuke and
punish these transgressions and to give them
no encouragement whatever. SrRINorELlow,
and his associates should find no fellowship or
approval here, il we would not introduce his er-
rors aud crimes among US. We trust that the
offenders in each Of these Instances may be
brought to justice.

American Reputation.

Rev. c. l.. Brace, the European corrcspon-
dent Of the Sun, thus speaks of the present re-
putaton Of America in Europe
The truth is, all through Europe now,
American reputation is at u low ebb. We are
regarded as money making, unprincpled
sharp graspng, jobbing race, whose mean
faults arc only redeemed by an unquestioned
courage and the most unboundcd ambitien.-
The brutalities, such as this Of Brooks the
civil wars Of Kansas the barbarisms Of sla-
very, and jobbings in New York and WASH
iagton, are rung over Europe. The glory and
heroism which, six years ago, ! found to sur
round the American name, with the middle
aud lower classes Of Europe, is mostly gone.
People have much lost faith in u.s. The advo-
Gates Of aristocracy aud government Of the
higher classes are making strong handle Of
our troubles against the elective franchise for
the lower classes, and it is difficult for the de-
mocrats Of Europe to justify US. For my
own part am not sorry for this change Of
public opinion. 1t may serve henceforth to
shut off fore. or the miserable Boosting and
gasconade which has made our people ridicu-
lous in the eyes Of sensible men. We have
been vain under the worlds applause now,
us. We do not need any ones approval. The
questions fighting with US, are too grand 70,
these members Of pc ~ states to understand
The very scum on our surface in America and
the boiling agitation, show the immense pow
ers at work below. It is, really, the redcmp
ton Of mankind that is being struggled for il
our country. Stormy years, With grand events
are before US. God help the right p
