We understand that the important matter to be
brought before the Literary Association. at their meeting
on the 2lst inst, is to urge the erection Of the Athenaeum
Building. Several valuable donations are understood
to be ready to aid in the work, rs soon as the matter is
fairly resumed. We canno. urge too strongly upon
citizens the necessity of such an object as the one here
contemplated. A public hall is almost a matter OF ne
cessity. If it can be secured by the plan proposed, let
every one give it encouragement.

THE CANVASS CoMMENeED.-On Monday eve
ming, August 24th, Mr.. Wiimot commenced
the canvass of the State with a speech in Phil
adelphia. There was an immense crowd pres
ent, and Mr.. Wilnlot was very frequently inter-
rupted with approval and enthusiastic applause.
The Sun of the 10Th, says
s.Great have been the effects produced in
Philadelphia by Mr.. Wilmot's speech, made
here recently. Many of the most influential
of the old line Wings were in attendance and
expressed themselves highly gratifed at the
sensible and statesmanlke views of that dis
tinguished gentleman. 1t reminded them for
cibly of the good old days of Clay and W ebstcr,
when people went to public meeting for the
purpose of receiving instruction, and not to be
disguised at the incoherent rawlings of some
miserable mountebank, who had the gift of
talking by the hour, and saying nothing.
ssMr. Wilmot's exposition of his famous Pro-
viso was master piece, and convinced all who
heard him that he is indeed one OF the giant
statesmen of the country. After the conclu-
sion of his speech many came to the conclu-
sion that the Democratic State Committee
might be well called a Prudential Committee,
from the fact of their positively forbidding
General Packer to discuss the political topics
of the day with Mr.. Wilmot.
ssThe only good that we can conceive would
have arisen from General Packers presence
at the public meetings. would have been to per-
form an interlude, as to afford Mr.. Wilmot
resting place.

From KANsAs.-Lawrence, Aug. 21.-Gov.
Robinson was acquitted yesterday forenoon.
The jury were ont nine hours. There was an
animated debate in the jury room. At first |
learn, they stood ten for a verdict of guilty to
two for acquittal. They were all Pro-Slavery
men. The judge had distinctly charged them
that, if they found that the prisoner, at any
time had assumed to be Governor of the State
OF Kansas, they must find him guilty. The
defence had always admitted this fact. The
two jurors, however, did not accept such in
structions. They refused to believe in the ex-
istence of State in this part of the country.
They came out, after they had discussed the
question some time, and asked that the case
be re-opened for further evidence on that
point! This very yerdant request, of course
was refused. AT nine O'Clock, therefore, they
returned averdict of not guilty.

A good story is told of young girl who
WAS disappointed in love, and to put an end to
her troubles, jumped from the Allegheny
bridge into the river. Luckily she was dress
ed IN the breatf-not height-of fashion, and
by the aid of her hooped skirts, fioated down
the stream as handsome as a duck, until she
was oyertaken by some boatmen, who took
hold of the edge of the floating crinoline, and
towed her towards the shore untilsh touched
bottom, when she waded out of the water and
ran home, SO; much ashamed of herself that
she will probably keep out of the water in
future.

The indians of Texas are passing into rapid
decay. In 1853 the Indians of Texas were es-
timated at 1000. In 1856, the number, from
Official accounts. did not xeceed 12, 1000 Some
1900 Indians till the reservation on the clear
fork of the Brazos, and make good crops 5000
semicivilized Greeks, DeIawares and Cherokees
Washitas and Wacos. There are 5000 Canaan
ches, 1000 Lipans, and 1000 of all other strag-
glers. From this report it will be seen that in
the course of few years, from the very nature
OF things, the whole Indian tribes of Texas
viii become extinct.
