The New Governor of Kansas.

The new Governor or Dictator of
Kansas, Robt. j. Walker, is a pro-sla,
very man. For long time he was a
resident Of Mississippi, where if we
mistake not, he now owns plantation.
He was born in Pennsylvania, and
made his first appearance at the Bar
at Pittsburgh. He lived a short time
at Cincinnati, and afterwards removed
to Mississippi. He was chosen Sena-
ator from that State and became Sec
rotary of the Treasury under the Polk
Administration. He has latterly lived
in New York. He is a shrewd man,
and particularly sharp Spectator.
He will no doubt be able in very
short time to fully post the Admins
tration in the price of Kansas lands.
AS a leading Democrat, his sympathies
must be with the pro-slavery party,
but there are more direct reasons than
this for such an impression. He will
certainly have an opportunity of de-
veloping what talents he possesses, in
his new Office. His position is by no
means enviable.

MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-Two men by
the name of Austin went over the dam
at this place, Monday morning, and
what might be considered miraculous,
were rescued alive. They started to
cross the river above the dam in a
skif, but with a strong current and
high wind against them, they were
not able to reach the opposite shore.
As the boat neared the fall they both
jumped into the water and in an instant
were carried over. One luckily made
fast to rock on the falls, and was
soon rescued by those who had wit
messed the scene. The other, by acct
dent, came in contact with the boat to
which he chung until landed on an is
land some distance below, from which
he was taken by boat sent to his re-
lief. Both men were strangers com.
ing to town and no doubt made up
their minds that they met with a cool
reception.
Since the above occurrence several
who are in the habit of crossing the
river have barely escaped going over
the dam.

OFFICE SEEKERs.-The crowd Of men
expecting Office under the new Admin
istration is great. The verdancy of
some is most laughable. They have
an idea that all Offices are to be va
cant; that the +" first come first serve"
rule will be adopted; that men must
be on hand to "pick and take" as
they do seat at the Western hotel at
dinner time. One of these gentlemen
on Monday last was seen in the great
hall of the Treasury Department. He
walked up to a good looking gentle
man who was seen approaching and
said: "Can you inform me what good
Office will be first vacant?" The gen.
tleman replied. II expect mine will
be, sir" "What is it worth !" said
the stranger $4,000 a year." was
the response. "Good," said the appli-
cant; "Ill take that; will you give
me your name7" 1t was done. But
the incumbent remains.

END OF THE WORLD AT HAND Paris
is very much excited by an astro-
nomical controversy at which all do not
laugh I The two most eminent as
tronomers, one of France, the other of
Germany, are arguing whether the
world is to come to an end on the
thirteenth of June next All the
scientific world it appears, have long
been uneasy at the approach of the
Comet to the earth I; and though it is
conceded by the disbelievers that the
contact must take place in June next,
they argue Tor Mons. Babinet, the
French Astronomer, for them,) that
as comets are but atmospheric affairs,
it will not materially effect us. The
German on the contrary, says that it
will not merely be the passing of a
gentleman who smokes" but that its
centre is solid fire, and that the sur
face of the earth will be turned into a
sea of fiery lava by his formidable CT
gar. Our devil thinks it would soon
freeze up if this weather holds out un-
til the great event takes place.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON. March 3

" ASHINGTON, MarCh 81.
The instructions to Mr.. r. j. Walker
are full, clear and explicit and in them
are quoted the exact words of Mr.. Blu
chanan's inaugural, viz: 1t is the in
dispensible duty of the Government to
secure to every resident inhabitant the
free and independent expression of his
opinion by his VOTE" In this the Cab
met cordially concur. They and those
who will shortly administer the affairs
of Kansas, believe that there is moth
ing to prevent such result in the adop-
ton of the State Constitution, as the
Legislative assembly, at their last ses-
sion, repealed that portion Of the cleo
ton law which required a challenged
voter to take oath to support the fugi-
tive slave law. Gentlemen who have
made personal inquiry relative to this
subject, have been assured that the
Administration and Mr.. Walker will
endeavor to carry out their promises
in good faith, being fully impressed
with the Importance Of the result.
April l.
Gov. Walker and his Secretary of
State, Mr.. Stanton, have repeatedly said
their efforts in accordance with the
views of the administration, will be to
secure fair expressions of opinion to
all the people of Kansas; while they
will carefully abstain from any act
which could be construed into PARTIAL
ty on one side or the other. Whichso-
ever way the citizens may decide, the
administration will be content. Gov.
Walker repeats his opinion that Kan
sas will be free State.
April 2.
VIM. A. Harris, of Nd, has compile
ted arrangements for becoming editor
and proprietor of the Washington
Union, to take effect on the 18th inst.
He was formerly representative to
Congress from Virginia, and afterwards
Minister to Buenos Ayres, and was ia.
vorably known as editor of the Consti-
tuition and Spectator, formerly publish
ed in this city.
Although Mr.. Appleton is not ap-
pointed, there is little doubt but what
he will succeed General Thomas as AS
sistant Secretary of State.
The President informed a gentleman
to-day that after tomorrow he would
not make another appointment for two
weeks, he had other matters of more
Importance to attend to.
The administration has definitely re-
fused to appoint special minister to
China to join in the British and French
movement or change position taken by
Marcy.

Four New States.-Four of the
Territories are preparing to enter the
Union Of States. They are Oregon,
Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska.
1t is confidently expected, that, during
the administration of Mr.. Buchanan.
there will be at least eight more Sena-
tors added tothe sixty-two who already
represent the sovereign States in tho
Congress of the Union. What a mar
vellous evidence of progress and rapid
growth -! Six years ago, the country,
now settled by large and increasing
population, and tceming with every
element of wealth and civilization,
was bowling wilderness, only trod-
den by the savage Aboriginees He who
was then an infant will not reach man.
hood before there will be established in
these Territories four organised sover-
eign States, with all the constituents
of social and political communities.
