They have encamped in their old quarters west OF

bcyokd Topeka WHOM The order recalling them was
given. There seems to be no sensible explanation
of this strange movement. The report made cur

and tLat the first rumor was false is just OF piece
With the first runor itself. Both reports were
simply ridculous.> The troops here, form the com
mand Of Col Cook, formerly staConed ~ Fort

story was II mere pretext to get the troop. back
there. No one can guess tie motive ir bringing
them back here. II looks more like mischief than
tie former advance on Lawrence.

HoAoaoay's Pills, the most powerful
Remedy for all disorders affecting the
intestines.-These Pills are pronounced
without hesitation by all who have tried
them to be one of the most efficacious
remedies ever made known they act so
directly upon the affected parts that it is
impossible any disease of the stomach or
bowels can resist their searching influence,
and so they thoroughly pass through and
cleanse the system, removing all traces of
disease, 1t is a remarkable fact, that
these Pills seldom fail to restore the pa
tient to health even after every other
remedy had been used unsuccessfully.

January 26 1857.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to, say a word
through your paper to the people of Mon
roe in regard to this country. Our soil
is a dark loan, easy of cultivation. The
prairies are just rolling enough to run of
the water. We have plenty off good timber
abundance of water affording Numerous
mill-seats. We have also stores and mills
and get good prices for our produce
Game such as deer, turkeys, offers, wolves,
raccoons, &C., abound
Railroads are being rapidly built and
as there are thousands of acres of vacant
land here to be had at one dollar per acre,
it affords a first rate chance for farmers
to make fortunes. We have plenty of
professional men-we want farmers, La
boring men get from x cents to 81 90 per
day. 'e 4" '-4 SOS
Finally, for u grazing country, this can
hardly be eqnalled anywhere. Our eli
mate is mild, and we say to the poor of
the east, come here and live in peace and
plenty. When forty dollars will buy forty
acres of good land, why will any man be
without home?

Columbus Correspondence.
Secretary.
COLUMBUS, Feb. I, 1857.

MIR. EDIToR;-The House of Repre-
sentati7es this morning wears the appear
ance of body of business men; all seated
in large armed chairs around the Hall;
and from their grave and knowing looks,
1t would be very natural to conclude, that
something for the Good of the State was
going to be done. One month has now
been spent in Legisating and not single
bill of importance has been passed, or
scarcely received any attention. 1t is
true the affairs of Central America, the
sugar tariff, and the great questions now
agitating the European Countries, have
been very gravely considered, and dis
cussed, and it has been seriously contem-
plated to transmit notice, to the King
OF Prussia, that we detest and denounce
his wicked conduct towards the Republic
OF Switzerland, that has so nobly maintain
ed its independence for upwards of five
hundred years.
A few days since the house asserted it's
dignity, by expelling Mr. Slough mem
Der from Hamilton county, for thrust
ing his hand between the blinkers of
Mr.. Caldwell of AshtabuIa While we
condemn the conduct of Mr.. Slough, as
an outrage upon the rules of the House
a desecration of our Legislative Halls
imperativcly demanding our censure, we
at the same time equally condemn, the po-
sition of the Republican party taken in
the premises.
The resolution upon which Mr.. Slough
was finally expelled, proposed to infict up
on him the severest punishment which was
in the province of the House to in1ict,
while it suffered the other offending party
to escape with impunity; for the testimony
upon which the resolution was said to be
predicted, clearly and unmstakeablc prov
ed, not only that Mr. Slough struck Mr..
Caldwell, but also that Caldwell was guilty
of insulting, and Of heaping upon Mr..
Slough opprobrious epithets, and should
have been equally punished. | FL.
The prospects now is that Mr. Slough
will be sent back by an overwhelming ma
jority. The election takes place on the
l 9th inst.
The members of the House have every
thing to make them comfortable large
cushion-backed arm chairs,
costing $l2 each (and purchased, too, by
a retrenchment Legislative) and chande-
liers of most georgous make and appear
ance. The one in the eenter costing
$500, and the lesser lights, in number,
cost $500 eaehy and in addition, the light
of Heaven enters the windows, through
French plated glass, each light costing
seven dollars, carpets, desks, and other
minor fixings, in style and design, cores
ponding with the foregoing. All these
combined will make the
session of 1851 of lasting remembrance.
We shall soon be ready to pitch into
the Constitution, for it has been intimat-
ed that Alfred Kelly, the chairman of the
proposes to amend by striking
out all after the enacting clause.
From present indications, we shall see the
light of a summers sun before adjourn

Abolition Financering- Wrongs
in the Sale Of Ohio Bonds!

IN the sale OF OHIO Bonds!
The present State debt of Ohio, which
is the cause of so high rate of taxation,
everybody knows was occasloned by the
enormous sacrifice made in the sale of the
bonds of the State of Ohio by Alfred
Kelly, and confederatcs in order to build
| the public works of Ohio, and pay the
interest on the debts already contracted.
Ohio bonds were sold by Alfred for fifty
cents on the dollar
But in few years afterwards the De-
mocracy came into power-Alfred Kelly
lost his position in the political world, and
became railroad specuator. The credit
of the State was restored to above par
and immense sums were saved by Demo
cratic officers in paying off the State
Debt. by taxation
Last year Aboli,ionism obtained con-
troll of the State Government and 44Jtred
heHy turned pin the Ohio Senate. Here
we will let the Ohio Eagle, published at
Lancaster, Fairfield county, tell the bal
ance of the history :-.Seaeco Adcerttser
FUSION FINANcIERING-It viii be re-
membered by our readers that, during the
last year Of the Democratic administration
in Ohio, nearly half "a million of State
debt was paid off. During the campaign
of 1855, Gov. Chase and the smaller fry
OF Abolition orators and politicians play
ed the part Of demagogues before the
people by complaining of high taxes and
especially condemning the policy of the
Democratic rarty in reducing the State
debt by a gradual and ;nnual red lc-
tion-and some of them sugg sted and
advocated the plan Of meeting ma ,uripg
debts, by selling her bonds at a large
premium and pocketing the premium.
One of Chase's cheap Jadges, Brinkerhofr,
was the reputed author of very foolish
article upon this subject. 1t seems that
their plan has to be given up. Chase in
his message says, experience indicates
the danger of relying upon new loans for
the payment of maturing debts. 1t was
confidently anticipated that this loan would
command a premium of at least nine or
ten per cent, while the premium actually
realized was only three and half. 1t is
-
not difficult to conceive of state of the
money market in which the bonds of the
State could not te negotiated at par. In
such q case. resort to aaeac loan arould
be attended with great pecuniagy loss."
So much for the policy But what we
wish to direct the attention of the tax.
payers of Fairfield to, is the transactions
above referred to by Gov. Chase and so
briefly alluded to in his message. A por-,
ton of our State debt fell due, amounting
to about $2,400,000. The fusion fnan-
ciers undertook to pay it off by obtain
ing new loan for that amount. The sale
of the bonds of the. rich and prosperous
State Of Ohio was advertised in papers in
both Europe and America. On the 1st
of October last, the 50, 100000 in bonds
was sold at "a premium Of three and one
daJ per cent. only. Our virtuous Gov
lernor did not have the nerve to denounce
