Tha Kansas correspondent If tba NJ

The Kansas correspondent Of the New
York journal of Commerce, says. Jim Lane
(.he Black Republican Hero and Martyr
has declared that if the constitutional con-
vention shall report a constitution as pure
% an emanation from hesven-nay, if they
should adopt the Topeka Constitution itself,
it shall not be ratified by the people if he
can command the power TO defeat it. They
have shown their hostility to thu peaceable
formation OF Free Constitution in Kansas,
srst by dissuading Free State men there
from voting for delegates, and secondly
By avowsng their intention to reject the
Csnstitution reported. even though it be Q
perfect specimen of freedom. It is MOI
their intsnfion to be satisEed-it is no
their wish that this irebrand of slavery ap
itation should be so quietly extinguished
In the canvass Of Sc. It was the onlv poin
sfound which the opposite elements Of fac
tons could strike common cord and raj
lY-aud now it would be suicidal indeed
ifthsy Lot this the last vestige of dsclinin,
hops, be swept away BY the quiet adm,s,
siea Of Kansas a. FREQ State.

LIABILITY OF SrAKEHoLDERs.-Chief Jus
tice Nelson of the Superior Court, Boston
has delivered an opinion on the question
Can Stockholders be made to refund money
paid on the result Of race? The charge Of
he Court was to the effect that all sucf
wagers were in that State illegal, and tina
the losing party could recover of the stake
holder, if he was notified Of an intention t.
racede from the original bargain at any
time before he ac....,iv Maid the money
If, however. he had paid over the stakes
to the winner, before any such notice was
received from the losers. then he cannot b.
held liable. The question is one of much
interest in the sporting world.

Their Real Motive.

There isjust one point in the Kansas i'm
broglio from which the public eye ought
not to be removed. That is, the motive of
action. of the leaders of the free State party,
so called. They have lately, it has been
seen, had their Topeka Legislature togeth-
er going through the farce of passing
claws" and of doing those other things
which legal Legislature may properly do,
and they have avowed their purpose to ad-
here to their Topeka constitution, and to
take no part in any future action regarding
any other constitution. No matter if the
constitution about to be formed by the con-
vention just chosen may be submitted to
the whole people of the Territory, at fair
election. where every actual settler shall
have the unmolested right of declaring his
sentiments by his vote. the leaders of the
Free State party, so called, avOw their det-
elimination to refrain, and to advise their
party to refrain, from going to the polls.
What is the motive of this action? If the
sincere desire Of the so called Free State
party were to make Kansas Free State,
would such be their action, since it is ad-
mitted on all hands that they might cert
ainly make it free State by contrary action
by going to the polls and taking their fol-
lowers to the polls. and voting yes or no on
the question. shall slavery exist in Kansas?
Plainly not What, then, is the real motive
of the action they have resolved upon? Is
1t not to let Kansas be made slave State?
Beyond all question, their motive is to let
Kansas be made slave State. This has
been the motive of their action from the
frst-and the motive of the action of the
eastern leaders of the black republican par
ty from the 6rst.--Some of these latter lead
ers have lately been in Kansas, and the i'm
mediate subsequent movements of Topeka
party showed what had been their advice.
Their advice had been that the Topeka con-
stitution and the Topeka Legislature be
galvanized. and that every possible impedi-
ment be placed in the way of a speedy So
luton, by Gov. WALKER, of the Kansas
difficulties. =

WEATHER SIGN.-In cloudy morning
it is matter of Importance to the farmer,
to know whether it will be sunshiny or
showery in the afternoon. 1.-THE ants have
cleaned their holes nicely. and piled the
dirt up high. it seldom fails to bring clear
day to the farmer. Spider-webs will be very
numerous about the tops of the grass and
grain, some cloudy mornings; and fifty

Utah..The Salt Lake COun-
FRY.

Salt Lake is situated between the fortieth
and forty-second degrees of north latitude,
and is not less than thirty miles in length
from north to south, varying in width
from to 80 miles-its elevation above
the Gulf of Mexico is 2,40O, and it forms
the bottom os vast basin, surrounded by
mountains, 5000 or ,6OO0 feet high.
Part Of the banks and bottom of the
lake are composed of rocks and salt springs
and the waters are entirely impregnated
with saline substance, so that evapora-
ton shows 33 parts in 100 of salt, while
the water of the sea shows only parts in
100. The Salers of Salt Lake, therefore,
are all extraordinary density. No fish can
live there. and the borders of tho lake are
sterile. Happily. in this accused lake
there is narrow passage leading to anoth-
er lake called Utah. I the name of an Indi-
an tribe, J the level Of which is 100 feet
aboue the surface OF the first.
The water in Utah Lake is drinkable,
fresh and limpid. The richness of the
country in the neighborhood Of these lakes
caused Brigham Young to resolve upon
settling the MormOns at this spot
He thought with wisdom, that it was
better for him to become exclusive master
of this great basin. where the distance and
nature offered an impregnable fortress, than
70 go to California and encounter the
hostility Of a crowd Of goldseekers. The
resemblance of Salt Lake to the Dead Sea
could be presented as a providential design
and an indication of the place where the
New Jerusalem should be founded. The
colony chose position extremely advanta-
geous, upon the strait between the two
lakes, and founded there the city of Deseret
q name which signifies beehive in the
pretended Reformed Egyptian Ian
guage. The aspect presented by this city
is very picturesque. Is divided into TWEEN
~ quarters. each forming a separate inclo
sure. The houses are built of adobes, OF
bricks dried In the sun, are only story
high, and are surrounded by gardens
Tho springs, which descend the mountains
dow in little rivulets into the gardens ant
streets. The stores are numerous and ele
CANT. The State-house is 99x40 feet
The town protected by fortified inclos
urs, and the number of inhabitants is nea
$4,000. The neighboring country i

N E s..

Twas night; the wind in peace was sleeping,
The stars their silent watch were keeping,
The earth seemed hushed in deep reposing.
Like soft dark eyes of beauty closing.
The full-orbed moon her light was pouring
npurling stream and torrent roaring;
On lovly hut and lofty tower;
On soldiers tent and lady's bower;
On sea and land, on all she kept
Her radiant eve while others slept.
On scs mes of sadness and of pleasure,
On miser counting Ger his treasure,
On kiags and mobiles without number,
On millions who in death do slumber,
On battle field with corses piling,
On prisoners tedious night beguiling,
On blood stained warrior restless dreaming,
On sleeping childhood faces beaming;
On sea and land. on all she kept
Her radiant eve while others slept
But bark from out Won castle stealing
Swee: music comes; now louder pealing,
The ear enchanting, soul enhancing,
Anon receding, now advancing,
Now breaking forth in widest notes,
Then softly changing, gently floats
Upon Tie air; then dies away,
Like rAys of Light at close of day;
While yet on all the moon still kept
Her wstchfal eye while others slept
But see ron eastle-gates unbarring
With trumpet loud and noisy jarring;
A crowd Of warriors come out rushing
Like foaming ocean onward gushing,
Ger hin and dale, themselves wide spreading
To sound of martial music treading;
While over rock, and tree and all,
Had fallen nights sepulchral pail;
While yet on all the moon still kept
Her watchful eye while others slept
Where are they new? their spirits feeting
Are with the loved and lost ones meeting;
Nothing they know Of this worlds sorrow,
No further trouble now they borrow;
They've passed away, we know them not;
Tradition only marks the spot
Where once their ashes Wondering lay
They've gone; but when days passed away
In nightly course the moon still keeps
Her eye on all, cen while they sleep.

Fifty, or hundred. lest you may never
see it again, is all wrong alike in prin>
ciple as it is fallacious in point of fact"
We remember to have heard case in
point which is suited TO the times.
A Fredericksburg merchant went to
Caroline Court on a certain occasion.
with 500 note of certain denomina.
ton. Shortly after he got on the Green,
he paid over to farmer. The farmer
soon discharged an indebtedness to some
one else, and thus the note kept on its
mission of liquidation until near the heel
OF the evening, when it was again paid
back to the same merchant who took it
there. and he brought it back to Fred
ericksbnrg! Having the curiosity to
trace its workings, he found that 81, 900
worth Of debts had been paid by that
500 note in a single day

TheIcause Of the Revolution i'm India.

The Cause ofthe Revolution in India.
The subioined proclamation from Del
lshi, issued after the insurrection is conclu-
lsive, ii such were needed. that Moham-
medan fanaticism and not military dissat-
isfaction was the stimulating and con-
ttroling cause Of the outbreaks:
To all Hindoos and Aussalnaans, CT
izens and servants of Hindostan. The
Officers of tie 4Army sso,o at Delhi and
Meersa send Greeting /:
is well known that in these days all
the English have entertained these de-
signsZfrst to destroy the religion ofsthe
whole Hindostan army, and then TO make
the people Christians by compulsion.=
Therefore, we solely. on account of our
religion. have combined with the people.
and have not spared alive one in6del. and
thus acted in obedience to orders and fe-
ceived double pay.
Hundreds of guns and large amount
of treasure have fallen into our hands !;
therefore it is fitting that whoever Of the
soldiers and people dislike turning Chris
tians should unite with one heart and act
courageously, mot leaving the seed Of these
infidels remaing. For any quantity Of
supplies delivered to the army the owners
are to take the receipt of the officers. aud
they will receive double payment from
the Imperial Government. Whoever shall
in those days exhibit cowardice. or cred.
ulously believe the promises of those i'm
postors-the English-shall very shortly
be put to. shame for such deed aud,
rubbing the hands of sorrow. shall receive
for their fidelity the reward the ruler of
Lucknow got.
1t is further necessary that all Hindoos
and Mussulmans unite in this struggle,
and following the instructions Of some
respectable people, keep themselves Sc
cure, SO that good order may be maintain
ed, the poorer classes kept contented.
and they themselves be exalted to rank
and dignity also. that all. so far as it lie
possible. copy this proclamation. and dis
patch it everywhere that all true Hin
docs and Mussulmans may be alive and
watchful. and fix it in some conspicuous
place, but prudently to avoid detection,
and strike blow with sword before
giving circulation to it. The FIRST pay of
the soldiers of Delhi. will be SOr per
month for trooper. and Tor for foot
man. Nearly zoe. 600 men are ready.
and there are 10 flags Of the English re,
giments and about IA standards from diff
terent parts now raised aloft for our reli.
gion. for God and the conquerer, and it is
the intention Of Cawnpore 10 root out this
seed of the devil. This is what we 9th
army here wish.
