TIE union of Emcrson's Magazine and Put
mans Monthly has given to the consolidated
work circulation second to but one similar
publication In the country, and has secured
for it combination Of literary and artistic tai.
ent probably unrivaled by any other magazine
in the world. During the first month, the sale
in the trade and demand from subscribers ex.
ceeded 80 900 copies. and the numbers already
issued of the consolidated work are universally
conceded to have surpassed, in the richness Of
their literary contents, and the beauty and pro-
fuseness of their pictorial illustrations, any
magazine ever before issued from the American
press Encouraged by these evidences of favor,
the publishers have determined to commence
the new volume in January with still additional
attractions and to offer such inducements to
subscribers as cannot fail to place it, in circula
ton, at the head of American magazines. With
this view they now announce the following
splendid programme. They have purchased
that superb and costly steel-plate engraving,
@THE LAST SUPPER"
and will present copy Of it to every three. dol
lar subscriber for the year 1858. 1t was en-
graved at a cost of over $4,000, by the late cele.
brated A. L. Dick, from the original of Raphael
Morghen, after Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the
largest sleGl'plAl cuSIhFlHS ever eAeCuleu Ill
this country, being three times the size OF the
ordinary three-dolIar engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are
held at Bl0 and it was the intention of the art
list that none Of the engravings should ever be
offered for less sum than S., being richly
worth that amount. Thus every three. dollar
subscriber will receive the Magazine one year
cheap at 50, and this splendid engraving,
richly worth S.; thus getting fer SO the value
of So.
We shall commence striking off the engrav-
ings Immediately, yet it can hardly be expec-
ted that impressions of so large plate can be
taken as fast as they Will be called for by sub
scribers. We shall, therefore, furnish them in
the order in which subscriptions are received.
Those who desire to obtain their engravings ear
ly, and from the first Impressions, should send
in their subscriptions without delay. Theen =
g raving can be sent on rollers, by mail, or in
any other manner, as subscribers shall order.

that State take sides with Douglas and
the people Of Kansaa, against the Le-

And 10 come nearer home, has the Star
surrendered Maryland to the North! All
the Americanpapers in Mary land take
sides with Douglas, together with the

newspapers which oppose the Lecomplon

we may add the N4tional Intelligencer.

The LeComptOn Constitution "with

ment.
The farce Of submitting 10 the people
OF Kansas the question OF Slavery or no
Slavery is played out. 1t has resulted
according lotbe wishes Of the Lecomplon
consprators, They never intended to
have the question fairly voted on Their
sceeme was expressly contrived to keep
the Free State men from the ballot.boX
Even had they voted, the result would
not have been materially changed. The
Constitution would still have sustained
Slavery. No intelligent man can honest
Iy mAptain, for moment, that even this
one question was fairly submitted, or that
The Free State men could consistently
or properly vote.
When Senator ID UaLAs openly de.
clared in his place in the Senate, that
the Administration had sent emissaries TO
Kanzas, 10 influence the Lecompton
schcmers TO return the Slavery cluuse as
voted down, and expressed his opinion
that, as a matter Of policy, This woull be
done, it was plausible statement, al
first view; and so far as the efforts OF The
Administration are concerned, il is quite
likely to prove correct. But that the final
result OF so many manDuvers and frauds
would be so easily surrendered, was not
generally credited, Mr.. BUo ANAN la
bored in vain. II no longer remains a
question with anybody whether the Lee
compton Constitution makes Kanzas q
Slave State. 1t now becomes such, alike
in name and form.
II appears that but a very small num-

The Result of RasCali.y.

1t is announced in the papers that the
famed Rev. Kaloch, of Boston, one of the
"three thousand New England Clergymen"
who proclaimed themselves commissioned
by Almighty God 10 tell the United States
Senate no, 10 pass the Nebraska bill, and
who afterwards escaped conviction ior adul-
tery only because few friends on the Jury
would not agree 10 4 verdict, has abandoned
the pulpit and is now devoting himself TO
the study oflaw. II will be remembered
that after his trial, his church declared him
an innocent and prosecuted man, and it was
announced with great flourish of trumpets
that the attendance at his church after that
event was much larger than ever before
The Republicans seem 10 be peculiarly de.
lighted with this fact, though it was shrewd-
ly observed at the time that Brigham Young
would probably draw larger crowd any
where TO hear him Than the purest preacher
of the gospel in the world. We always be-
lieved that scoundrelism in the pulpit was
thing that could never prosper, in any
community, and we see now that though
Kalloch had the sympathy of n political
party that carries every thing before it in
his locality, he is compelled TO abandon the
pulpit! Verify, "the wages of fsin is death"

on the Easlon Turnpike, was murdered, and
afterwards thrown into well attached to his
property, with a large stone chained 10 his

two weeks, aud il was reported he had ''sone

aroused the suspicious Of the neighbors, and
they made diIisent search for him, and final
ly succeeded in finding him in the above
mentioned place nearly covered up with
large stones that had been thrown down uf-
on him. There were marks Of violence up
on his he ad and other parts of the body. The
supposed murderer, who had been living
with he deceased short lime past, is now
in Jail a, Wllkes.Baue.
