OF Another brutal murder was committed
in drunken broil in Martin county the last
week at whisky doggery. Three or four
drunken men got into an alteration with the
keeper, and fight ensued. and two men by
the name of Sloan and Jones clinched, and
the closing scene Of the drama was, that
Burns seized Sloan by the hair, with his left
hand, and with his right he seized q stick OF
stove wood some two feet long, and struck
Sloan from two to four blows across the back
and neck. The stick was then taken from

KANSAS AFFAIRs.-It will have been seen
by our Geographic dispatches Of yesterday,
that Mr.. Buchanan views the resignation OF
Gov. Geary, as an event Of paramount inter-
est to the country and his administrations
He said to those around him, that it was one
"of the most important subjects ever brought
to the attention of the government of the
country" and so we have viewed it; and up
on the measures now taken to sustain the
law and peace in Kansas, and upon the char
acter of the man sent to administer the gov
eminent there, will depend the future course
Of political parties, the peace Of the country,
and, perhaps, the permanency OF the Union.
The responsibility of the acts of the govern
ment in this matter at the present time, are
icarfllly great.

AN APPEAE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
Mr.. j. Ii. Cook, one of the Trustees of the
State Blind Asylum, has made an appeal to
the people Of the State, through the Terre
Haute papers-to take some measures to pre-
serve the State from utter anarchy. de
says:
Indiana presents spectacle to the world
unexalnpled in the History Of American gov
eminent; a spectacle d;sgraceful as it is hu-
initiating; q revolutionary condition subyersive
of Constitutional government as taught by
the fathers OF the Republic, who guided the
affairs of State in the better days Of its his
tory. The problem OF Self Government is
solved practically in Indiana. There is re-
slly. by the Constitution and laws, no Gov
eminent at all. 1t is mere dead carcass,
without breath or vitality. No Assessment
Law by which a single dollar of money can
be collected to replenish the State Treasury,
No Temperance Law, no Appropriation Law,
no provision for the Benevolent institutions.
This unfortunate class Of our citizens must be
driven out, and the doors OF these noble char
tiles be closed upon them. Many other vital
interests neglected and disregarded. Such a
state Of things cannot be long tolerated even
in this country where revolutions are peaceful
The people will resume their natural rights
take the reins OF Government III their own
hands, and bring to a fearful accountability
those who have abused their trusts. There
is a point beyond which Jreemea will not be
driven, with impunity; our history people
shows this fact. Let the patriotic men Of ali
parties speak out in thunder tones, and check
effectualIy those who suppose the State of In
diana and all the officers known to the Con
stitution and Laws were made for their spec
ial use and benefit, to be used as corruptins
fund to keep themselves in high places fo'
life. Let the people call upon the Governor
in respectful terms (and he dare not refuse
to convene the Legislature speedily. would
respectfully recommend Mass Convention o
the citizens of the whole State, irrespective o
party, simultaneous with tie converting o

New HEMP.-The resources of the in
tertropicsl regions Of our continent surpass
all our present conceptions Of them. New
discoveries are daily revealing them. 1t has
recently been discovered that the fbres OF
the plantain tree, in Honduras, makes good
hemp. The supply is inexhaustble, as the
tree grows spontaneously, and is reproduced
four times in year. Specimens of the hemp
have been brought to New Orleans and are to
be tested in making cordage. If it should
answer the purpose, it will superscede MANILA
and have some influence on the hemp interests
