The Richmond Junto.

- Our friends at Richmond appear TO be
in great tribulation. There seems to be
an administration, and quasi-anti-admin-
istration party. The former is represents
ed by the Enquirer" and Examiner"
and the latter by the "South." We can
not possibly see what good is to come Of
the daily expenditure of ink and paper
exhausted in this controversy; nor can we
see that it has any effect. whatever. The
Democratic party of Virginia does not in
tend to forsake the Constitution OF the
rights of the States, whether the ques>
ton be raised in Kansas or any where
slse. 1t may. however, be necessary to
the existence of metropolitan papers to
keep up an excitement. In the quietude
Of the backwoods, we cannot be expected
to be posted in all these matters. But
whatever may be the cause or the object,
we imagine that the Virginia Democracy
will continue to sustain the same doc
trines it always has-that Mr.. Buchan-
ans administration, until it does some
thing worse than the appointing of R. ].
Walker Governor Of Kansas, will be sus.
tanned. let who may be elected U. 8. Sen,
ator; and that Messrs. Keit & Co. will
fail TO array sectional party in the South
as an Offset to the Republican party Of
the North. 'g

The following extracts are from a letter
from S. NJ. Yost, former editor Of the
Stanton indicator, 10 the Washington
Union:
sAsEE FE, New Mexico, )July 1857.
l this day had the pleasure Of seeing
and conversing with the far famed Kit
Carson. He is mild. pleasant man in
the expression Of his face, and one would
never suspect him Of having led the life
OF daring adventurer which distinguish.
ed him. He is refined in his manner,
and very polite in his intercourse his
conversation is marked by great earnest
ness, and his language appropriate and
we'll chosen. though not pronounced with
correctness. He has strong mind, and
everything he says is pointed and practi-
cal, except when indulging in a vein OF
humor. which is not unfrequent. No one
can converse with him an hour without
being fayorably impressed he has o jo-
vial, honest, open countenance, and a
kindness Of heart almost feminine. He
is universally beloved here. and fayorite
with all classes. Indians included. He
never alludes to his career as an adyen.
turer unless questioned relative 10 it. AL.
though he is free and easy in bis CONVEX
sssion. everything he says in regard 10
himself partakes Of a degree Of modesty
almost incredible in one whose life has
been an unbroken succession of hardships
and dangers.
He is not over Eve feet eight inches
in height. He is heavy framed and
weighes about 40 pounds. He is forty
eight years old, but does not look to be
more than thirty five. He came in this
country in 1897. The facts of his life are
now in The possession of Washington Ir.
wing. and will doubtless be thrown into
the form OF book during the coming
Winter. He is a strong States right de.
mocrat.

KEEP CLEAS.-It is said that cleanliness
is ono Of the greatest promoters Of good
health it is certain that cleanliness adds
much TO the appearance of people. and
we hope that every body will wear clean
clothes nowadays, for there is no excuse
for going dirty. J. B. Wright. Esq. is
manufacturing Wisner's Patent Washing
Tubs. which enable person to do their
washing in about one fourth the time and
and in much better manner than can be
done by the old style. Weknow this to Be
so. for they have been tried in our family
for several weeks. This new washing

Equality OF WHITES AND NEoRoEs.-In
Iowa. in submitting the new constitution,
the question Of equality as to whites and
negroes as to political privileges was sub.
mitted to the people. Nearly the who'll
vote of the State was against the assumed
equality. After all the pretences of
Black Republicans in favor of negro
equality. nearly the whole party voted
against it. Few men in Iowa we're found
voluntarily to vote themselves equals to
the negros. When brought TO the test,
their negro professions were found to be
mere political expedients which honest
men despise. Black Republicanism is
dead in Iowa. as well as every where else,
and only needs its merited burial to be
finally forgotten, unless remembered for
its wanton mischiefs it has brought upon
the country. 5aa ~

TIE CANADIANS AND THEIR FREE NEGRO
PoPULAT1oN.-Public opinion in England
and her colonial possessions has under
gone such a radical change within few
months in regard to the sIavey question,
and the negro race in general. that the
probabilities are that the underground
railroad" will soon get into disfavor with
our Canadian neighbors. The Indiana
State Sentinel of late date SAYS:
1.-The Canadian government are deter.
mined TO get rid of their free negro popu-
lation. A proposition was made some
time since to isolate them in the northern
portion of Canada. but this project failed.
Now petitions are being forwarded to the
home government to send the entire ne.
gro population in Canadato some of The
English tropical islands. From this Il
will appear that :he Canadians are
rapidly getting over their sickly sympa-
thy for the negro, and are determined
not only to drive them out of this north
ernrefuge, but debar them from seeking
that asylum in the future. Where viii
the poor negro 60? 1t would not BE az
all surprising if thousands OF runawg me-
groes should wend their way back 10 heir
masters IN order to escape tfanspo,rtation.
ABlessed are they who expect notb.
ing. Tor they shall not be disapnointed

The Grasshopper Plague of Minnesota.
A letter from Anoka. Minnesota Terri
tory, fully confirms one lately published
about the destruction of crops by the grass
hopper army travelling south from Red
River. TIE writer says:
"Their favorite feed is tender garden
vegetables. beans, onions, carrots, turnips,
DC. Potatoes are ruined by being divest-
ed Of all leaves. Last season they arrived
too late to destroy wheat and corn. But
considering their immense numbers, the
ground being literally covered with them
in many places, farmers considered them-
selves lucky in getting rid of them as
easily as they did, for with the sharp
fros,s Of Autumn and the disappearance
Of vegetation they gradually died off.
But this was not the end thereof. 1t
seems that eating did not occupy all their
time or attention. Careful observers saw
them busy upon the ground about some-
thing, which now proves to have been
depositiDg their eggs. which naturalists
say the females lay to the number Of one
hundred and fifty. We had very severe
weather here last Winter, 90 below zero
yet those eggs, almost on the surface Of
the ground as they were. came out, bright
in the Spring. As soon as the snow was
gone and the ground began to get warm
the grasshoppers began TO come up. some
early and others later. according to the
situation tho eggs had to the sun.
They have been Matching ever since.
and l presume are not all out yet. When
FIRST Matched they are quito light in color
and but small in size. But there ere two
things that they can do fright smart"
from the FIRST. viz: hop and eat. They
hop first, and keep hopping till they End
something that suits them to eat. and
they are nowise dainty about it either, for
they don't stop till the supply is exhaust.
ed. OF course the consequences are the
most disastrous. Whole acres Of wheat
are completely eaten and destroyed in .
day. Oats fare no better. and corn will
doutless share the same fate.-Some far
mers, becoming discouraged, stopped
short in their planting and sowing, de.
claring they would not waste their seed.
Others put in their whole crop. but with
faint prospect Of ever getting anything
back. Some have hoped that they would
leave which they doubtless will do when
Auey Set wings, Wnlcn VIII not oeS rear,
till everything in the way of crops is de-
stroyed. AS yet they don't eat any grass
mitch, but Of course when other things
are gone they will take that. and then
stock must suffer. Water treatment
seems to suit them, for they are all smart
er after bard rain, They came from the
west and travel east; and when they eat
everything in Minnesota. Iowa. Wis
eonsin and Illinois will have to share the
same fate, as our stock is sufficient for all
the country below US.

Sweet lrttcrs of the angel tongue,
Eve loved ye long and well,
And never have failed Ia your fragrance
sweet
TO find some secret spcll,-
A charm that has bound me with witching
power,
For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom
There's soul In every leaf
Illumined words from Gods own hand,
How fast my pulses beat,
As each quick sense in rapture comes,
Your varied sweets to greet.
Alone and in silence love you best
For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom
There's soul in every leaf
Ye are prophets sent to this needless world,
The skeptic's heart to teach
And It's well to read your lore Alright,
And make the creed ye preach.
/ never could pass We carless by,
For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom
There's soul in every leaf!
