instead Of the sole pressing down on
the ground, the earth flowed. as IL
were. mp the breast Of tho pillow, and
fell over very lightly. let tho weather
be wet or dry. With reference to the
appropriation Of sewerage manure tothe
soil, he said Prof. Way and another
gentleman had been recently sent TO
Milan for the purpose OF examining
the drainage, with view TO adopt
some scheme for saving the sewerage Of
London. which was Of immense value,
but which now ran into the Thames
and was entirely lost. The Govern
ment felt it would be great mistake,
IL IL could avoid it, to spend eight mil
lions to make a great drain from Lon
don TO the sea to carry away all the
good things they sent to London, and
to saddle the country with the expense
of 100000 a year, or more than
that, if by an equal expenditure these
things could be made to go back for
the fertilization of the soil from which
they were produced. From his own
experience he had long since come to
the conclusion that it was simply a
question of will and mechanical con
trivance. He did not think the land
lords or tenants were prepared to lay
out e. or .E4 an acre to put this stuff
on the land, but if they knew as much
about it as he did, they would feel ii
to be their interest to do so. There
was another question, that of their seed
ing, which was once laughed about,
but he thought the higher they farmed,
the less corn they must sow. He
found bushcl per acre quite enough
for his land. He did think they were
bound, as agriculturalists, to do as he
did, viz: thin-sow small piece ii
every field, and draw their own con
clusions The French gentleman said

for corn" and on the latter saying
"Oh, no." he asked him whether h

replied Il do" He told the French

too smooth nap and too high a luster,

WoN'T HANG WoMEN--Thc Ian
caster Pa Examiner, referring to a
recent conviction of a woman for poi
soning her husband, says:
Although the prisoner has been
found guilty of a capital ofiense, and
may be sentenced. it is not likely she
will be executed. The Court merely
sentences TO be hung at such time as
the Executive of the State NAV APP
point, and remands the condemned to
prison to await that time. OF late
years, it has been customary in Penn
sylvania, in cases where women have
been sentenced to death, for the Gov
crnor not to name day OF execution,
and thus. virtually, the sentence is one
of Imprisonment for life. This. we
presume, will be the result in this case.
There are now, we believe, in Penn
sylvania, seven women under the sen
tencc of death, several of whom were
convicted many years ago"

part of the county, and the fall and

W AsfiiSGToS, Dec. -ss.
Among the documents presented TO
the Senate is Secretary Cass's letter to
Gen. Denver.
After referring TO the cause OF The
dismissal of Acting Governor Stanton
in converting the Legislature, Inc says
From these views you will readily
understand what the President regards
as the chief duty which devolves upon
YOU, as Stanton's successor. This du-
ty is to preserve the peace of Kansas.
Every person entitled to vote on the
Constitution ought to have safe access
to the polls, and to be free from all re-
straints whatever in the exercise of the
elective franchise. If the civil power
is found insufficient for this purpose.
troops of the United States should be
employed in the aid of it, and it may
be wise prccaution to have them sta
toned in advance within reach of those
places where, in your judgement, their
services are likely to be required. 1t
is earnestly hoped that the use of the
military power may be wholly avoid
ed. Violence is always less likely to
occur when the means are known to
be at hand for its prompt suppression.
Should the military force become
absolutely necessary to keep the peace,
you will find full instructions, with
reference to the proper mode of en-
pioying it, in my communication to
Gov. Walker. The Territorial Legis-
lature was, doubtless, convened on the
eth inst, and while it remains in ses-
sion its members are entitled to be
, secure and free in their deliberations.
Its rightful action must also be respec-
ted.
Should it authorize an election by
1
the people for any purpose, this cleo
| ton should be held without Interrupt
ton, no less than those authorized by
? the Convention.
While the peace of the Territory is
preserved and the freedom of election
is secured, there need be no fear of dis
astrous consequences.
The public journals contain reports
of an intended movement by portion
of the residents of Kansas to organize
revolutionary government under the
Topeka Constitution. 1t is hardly
E. probable that this report can be well
founded but should the attempt be
made, and led to practical collision
with the Territorial authorities, the
authority of the Government must
necessarily be maintained and from
whatever quarter it is attempted to in
terfere by violence with the election
authorized by the Constitutional Con
: vention, or which may be authorized
:, by the Legislature, the attempt must
: be resisted, and the security Of the cleo
tions maintained by your firmness and
> discretion to give effect to these instruc
tons.
1t is vitality important that the pco
= pie of Kansas, and none other than the
: people of Kansas, should have the de
: termination of the question now befor,
. them for decision.
:, 1t is important also that in securing
= to them the protection to which they
:. are entitled, great care should be takcl
. not to organize any illegal authority
No action of the Territorial Lcgisla
=" ture, about to meet, can interposc will
the elections of the 21st of Dcccmbe
:" and the Goth of January, in the mod
and manner prescribed by the Consti
tutional Convention.

MURDER OF MR.. LATHAM.
DoxrpIrAx. Dec. II / l. NJ

DVNiiiAN, ,t's u VI.
a company of fifteen armed rufiians
from Atchison, have just left this city,
after having murdered, in the public
streets, with a shot gun, Mr.. Latham,
Free State citizen of Donipilan.--
These men came in, in parties of two,
about one o'clock this afternoon. and
after consulting together, one of them,
named McVeay, shot at Mr.. Latham,
and MORALLY wounded him, as he was
peacefully walking along the street,
unarmcd and unsuspccting, near the
Doniphan house. The buckshot en-
tered the head, and blew out his brains
Mr.. Latham instantly fell dead.
Another member of the Atchison
company, after the fatal shot was fired
discharged his rifle in the air. The
party then left town.
This outrage occurred so suddenly
that no one was prepared for it, and
the murderers escaped. a company
of citizens from Doniphan have started
in pursuit. Y
The death of Mr.. Latham at Doni
phan is confirmed by Mr.. Gaily, pas
senger from that place, who informs
us that he was but few feet from Mr.
l.. when he was shot. He was fired a
from behind, and was killed without
having had any warning from his as
sassins, or any knowledge ofwho the,
