Ordered OF

An interesting little episode in the his
tory of slavery in Kansas, and one which
pretty fairly exhibits the chances for the
success of that institution occurred in the
vicinity of Holton few days since. A
gentleman from Missouri, believing un.
doubleday, in the entire beneiicencc of
the institutions" and entertaining iaud-
able desire f6r its indefinite extension. had
imported several specimens of chattels,
with the intention of testing the profit
and utility of unrequited toll upon the
virgin soil of Kansas. The settlers in the
vicinity, however, not relishing the idea
OF being converted into a slayeholding
community, and believing, moreover. in
the practicability of squatter sovereignty.
publicly convened in avery explicit man
ner expressed their disapprobation of such
proceeding, and furthermore volunteer
ed. unless the alleged owner, should with.
IN given time, remove his chattels, TO
relieve him of all responsibility in regard
to them. The result was, that, although
this was the third effort to introduce slave
~ into that neighborhood, it has so far
been unsuccessful. 1t is useless to try
again. The people of Holton viii never
permit themselves to be disgraced BY the
existence of human slavery among them.

with Its rich freight of adventurous besu-
ty and ever restless fashion, keeps on Its
way. It startles the wastes of the Platte
with its brave summer travel; it flashes
by the sweet waters, the gorges and peaks
of the Pass shout iwelcome:' with 3 roar
and bound leaps into the valley, and
trembling and snorting like an affrighted
horse, checks its speed in sight of the
Great Temple, where Mr.. Young and an
indefinite number of Mesdames Young
worship according to the dictates
1t is only the vision of an idler of the
Missouri bluff! Ny dear sir, or madam,
it is you who are drowsy or dreaming if
you see it not. Heaven help u.s. if we
were all like you it might be vision for
ever, and we never should see the giant
railway, nor anything but our certain per
cent in the grand consolidation, and by
and by spare grave. But the road is al
ready built-morally; the mere mechani-
cal labor is of small concern in compari-
son.
When the material lines are completed,
We shall make the trip from Broadway to
Salt Lake in less than five days, with case.
We can easily see it will be worth ones
while to shut up the counting-house and
look around little, then. The herds of
wild horses and buffalo will hardly await
our approach; and Bruin, Of. F.') aecus-
toned only to private interviews of closest
intimacy, will not be at home for a public
reception of his Atlantic cousins. But
the infinite panorama of prairies, rivers,
and plains, and icy peaks, viii kindle into
a sort or enthusiasm even our base wa
terlns place friends. We are all fond of
the reputation of travel and adventure,
when it can be obtained at slight sacri-
nee; and here are all the facilities. Our
gallant gentlemen will ride northward to
the buffalo ranges, will whip the streams
for speekled trout, and in their winter club
rooms speak of the antelope and deer
chased On the southern hills, and hint dark
ly of those terrible fellows, the Apaches.
Our invalids will grow stout in the bra
cling mountain air, and luxuriate in cold
baths and hot ones, and unlimited sui
phur. And our bellies, whirling along the
magnificent drive to the lake, skirting the
Mormon farms, hunting the sources of
streams, and slipping the pure water-will
not the bloom deepen on their cheeks and
their footsteps become doubly elastic?-
On the whole, / think we shall make
quite a season of it, and return to our
own glorious Indian summer, and it's
pomp of forests, with spirits freshened by
the invigorating atmosphere, and views
enlarged by the contemplation of do
main whose vast unity no age can paral-
iel."

the sons snd daughters of Adam and their
antediluvian posterity, engaged in the
chase, erecting cities, and pursuing all the
arts of peace in primitive manner, as is
the case with US, save that they are aided
by the accumulated wisdom of six thou
sand years.
Look over our vast country; see the
wreck of other ages visible on either hand.
The antiquarian finds at every step the
records of a generation which has passed
away. The mounds, and tumulii of the
West, the ruins of ancient cities, and nu-
merous trifing pieces of art, arc all that
remain to indicate that, long since, Amer
lea was the home of mighty people
They have passed away, and those unsat-
isfaetory evidences are furnished us of
their former existence and greatness. The
floods came upon them, while still UNI
conscious of danger; in brief hour, with
out historian to describe their sufferings,
their palaces, and homes of opulence,
were in ruins, and their occupants, with
"every living substance, were destroyed"
Kansas became gloomy desert, to remain
untenanted for more than four thousand
years. Noah's posterity has circled the
globe, and now commences the settle
ment of the country which his ancestors
left SO hurriedly, ages ago. Villainy and
crime appear common TO this cherished
spot. Its early inhabitants brought death
into the world, and the people residing
contiguous thereto induced food which
swept away all the nations and people of
the earth. They now seek to produce an
archy and discord by destroying the basis
Of society and of government. If they
shall be successful in their schemes of
wickedness, it is not impossible that
Providence will again interpose His arm,
as on former occasion, and, with the
fat of His will, again clothe our Eden in
gloom.
