Mr.. Stone OF Essex, thought the iury had

MessrS. Editors IL saw in Tuesdays Ban
State, paragraph stating that one of our clergy
men had preached sermon against the Theatre,
and another article seeming to show some re-.
sentiment at the reverend gentlem"n's course.
Now, it seems to me, we should be perfectly
willing ministers should discourse any
topic which sense of duty prompts them to, for
is this not the very thing we employ them to do !?
And if their Judgment and ours disagree, after
hearing their arguments, then we may the mure
confidently entertain our own opinions.
In the present case, L cannot agree with those
who think our new theatre is to be source of
moral contamination at any rate not under its
present able and careful management. l have
twice visited il, to ii the actors 'payed 10 the
house, or with truth TO art; and ! must say,
have never seen the same plays more perfectly
acted with greater refinement expression and
delicacy of gesture, than Ingomar," on the
opening night, and the g Lady Of Lyons, on the
Wednesday night subsequent And, in the after
pieces, | noticed, where circumstances mgh
warrant deacon himself in calling on Satan
by his common name, the actors soitened it,
rather than shock any fastidious.
1t is true, theatre NAV do harm and what
earthly thing may not One of the strongest
passions, perhaps, that sways the mass Of men,
Is love of novelty; this desire for new attrac-
lions increases in proportion to the advancement
"f people in civilization and refinement The
so carried forward by this APPETITE that, accord
ing to Plutarch, they spent more in theatrical
entertainments, than In their defence against
their enemies.
Now as this state Of mind has always existed,
and always will exist, would it not be better for
our good men and men of influence to support
the theatre as a school Of intellectual entertain
ment, to which our young may be drawn, as
l believe they now are, in place of the many at
fractions set before them for the indulgence OF q
| 1--we ofnOvelty much more hultiul than the thea,
tire can possibly be.
| That theatre is governed by the moral tone o
| its patrons, rather than governing it, needs NJ
pfuof, for no manager would produce anything OF
his stage which he thought likely to offsnd hi,
audience and cause them to withhold their sup
port.
The Athenians, in their love of the theatre
were so parti ular to the sentiments delivered
on the stage, that, in several instances, when
| there some slight infringement Of morality
| they cried out againstit, and the author of the
| play only escaped Punishment by an apology tt
the audience.
Let the good people of Worcester, then, 81

81. Louis, Feb 26- Lade advices frnIn Kan
zas state that serious difficulty had arisen
between Gov. Geary and Judge Sherwood,
growing out Of the refusal of the Governor to
appoint the latter as Sheriff, as desired by the
Legislature. Sherwood had avowed his inten-
ton TO kill the Governor and. meeting him
shortly alterward i'll the street, spit in his face.
Geary did not resent this, but his friends got
up an indignation me citing, which sheriff
Jones, Sherwood, and others. attempted 10

wood shot a Mr. Shepard, one of Geary's
friends, four times, killing him. and wounded
two others. Mr. Jones, the Governors sec
rotary, then shot Sherwood, the bali passing
through his head, and killing him instantly.
Very great excitement existed at Lecomp ton,
and general fight was anticipated. Governor
Geary's residence was guarded by United
States troops.

The Missouri river is entirely clear of ice.
and boats are running with good stage of
water. Freights are low, being only fifty cts.
per hundred from st. Louis TO Kanzas, former
ly from one dollar and fifty cents to two dol

fact that the business season is Just commenc-

demonstration on the river during the past
year.
Free State communication is not interrupt

along the side of preeiptous mountain, at
the base of which is mountain stream.
From the railroad to the .stream the distance
is about seventy five yards at an angle of
10 degrees. On Monday night locomotive
attached to freight train broke fange, and
detachlng itself from the train, ran down this
precipice, carrying with it the engineer and
fireman. Strange to relate, the engineer
reached the creek fair and square upon its
wheels. without being materially injured, or
the slightest harm to its unwilling passengers.

The UNION AND SLAvERY.-'J. S. p the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writes to that paper as follows =.
This is my position. say to Slavery men,
"You are tearing up the very foundation of
the Constitution, and are substituting in its
place another and a totally different one.
You are abandoning the basis on which the
Union was formed. and are converting the
Government into an engine for the spread of
Slavery, the naturalization of Slavery, and
the indefinite perpetuation of Slavery You
are thus departing utterly from the track of
the fathers. You are violating utterly the
understanding upon which the Union rests
1t was made to subserve the cause of Liberty.
You and your doughfsce allies in the North
are perverting it TO the pestilent uses of hu-
man seryitude. This perversion of the pur-
poses of this Government, if not arrested,
must work its downfall, aud should work its
downfall You say that you will have such
a union with the free States as you now de-
mand or you will have none. l say if this
be your determination, and it is carried out,
then the free and slave States must part. Let
them part in the manner that becomes the
civilization of the nineteenth century. Under
your scheme of Slavery in perpetuity, an
Ethyopia in the South is inevitable. Such is
the retribution the crime OF Slavery in its
new aspect will work. You have four mil
lions of blacks now you will hayeten mil
lions directly This mass of barbarism vii
enforce its own expulsion from our sys
tenn as matter OF necessity. And if YOUR
scheme is to be carried out let us begin now.
The sooner the better. Take into account
these considerations, and push on your plans
if you will"
TO the North l say 1.-The revolution
commenced by the Nebraska bill is going on
to completion. We failed to arrest 1t by the
elections of 1856. You have hopes for the
future. You had for the past l did not
share the former; do not share the present.
Prepare, them in deliberate and sober and
rational manner for what apparently awaits
us. We are carried along, as every genera.
ton and every age is carried along, by force
which we cannot control. We cannot avert
our destiny by declaring we do not like it,
You do not desire the separation of these
States. l do not. But the current sets in
that direction. Whether we Will or no, we
daily approach nearer to that goal If the
existing policy of the Government is TO be
pursued, the ay0wed designs of the Slave
Power are to be hindered by legislation or
by executive administration. 1t this great
experiment of constitutional freedom in the
interest of universal enlightenment and liber
ty, Is TO be turned from its glorious course
and perverted to the destruction of what il
was created to uphold. we are forced upon
the refuge of separation, or we choose subms-
sion, and thus exhibit shameful desertion
Of our principles and our duty. Which shall
it beF As men bearing manhood in our souls,
we have no election, no choice. We are
driven upon an alternative. We do not
choose il. 1t may be dlslasteful, we must
Accept it,"

YEARLY FooD OF One MAN.--From the
army and navy diet scales of France and
England. which, of course, arc based upon
the recognized necessities OF large numbers of
men in active lite, it is inferred that about
two sand one fourth pounds avoirdupois Of
dry food, per day. are required for each in
dividual this about three fourths are veg
etable, and the rest animal Attic close OF
an entire yeas, the amout is upwards of 800
pounds. Enumerating der the title of
water all the various drinks --coffee, tea, alco-
hol, wine, &c.,--its estimated quantity is
about 1900 pounds per annum. That for the
air received for breathing may be taken at
800 pounds.
With these figures before us, says the Med,-
cal World. we are able to see how the case
stands The food, water and air which a man
receives, amount, in the aggregate, to more
than 5000 pounds year, that is, to about a
ton and half, or more than twenty times his
weight This enormous quantity may well
attract our attention to the expenditure of
material required for supporting life. A iy.
ing boing is the result and representation Of
chonge on prodigious scale.
