WoMAN's RrcuTs IN KANsAs.-The carelessness
of the Kansas Legislators in the phraseology OF
their laws, has been productive Of one result.
They have enfranchisod the women of Kansas.
The section which confers the right of suffrage on
women, reads thus.
Every bonafde inhabitaut of the territory of
Kansas, being a citizen of the United States, over
the age OF twenty-o1e years, and who shall have

lic-spir!ted individual is projecting q scheme for

Noah, The fabric is to be an obelisk of Peter
head granite. An entablature on the one side of

uGe, as given in Genesis and on the other the

Mr.. Flournoy of Virginia said in the Southern
Commercial Convention that che hated the North
for stealing the negroes of the South, and then for
lying about it Afterwards; and he hated every
body that did not hate them" Such a comure-

THE INDIAN WAR IN FLoR1DA.-Augusta, Aug.
%, lo57.-Latei intelligence from Florida is to the
effect that Capt. Mickler and the Florida Volun-
teers have captured five Seminoles. The Indians
had hoisted q white flag. Hopes are entertained
that the war is nearly over.
We think it is about time that the Florida Indi-
an war was stopped. Never was a Jersey oyster
bed better nursed and managed than this same
batch OF Florida Indians. Runaway negroes and
poor whites all become Indians when they get in
to the everglades, and being kept carefully out
the way by the settlers, two or three compan-
les of u. S. troops are kept in the region, and the
inhabitants have the benefit of the money they
spend. Hopes are entertained that the war is
nearly over" Bah Gin. Gazette.
The Atlantic Telegraph cable seems to have
snapped in consequence Of the enormous weight of
the portion which had been paid out but had not
vet reached the bottom. Miles of the cable, which
was running out at a much faster rate than that of
the ship, and into water two miles in depth, acted
as q dead weight and drag of almost irresistible
force. A frmer application of the brakes was in
tended, by diminishing the rate at which the cable
running out and thus lessening its weight, 20
the catastrophe which it in fact FASTENED.
The New-England merchants, as well as our
own, are carrying out the sugar and m0lasses spec.
ulation with great pertinacity. A Newburyport
correspondent of The Boston Tidreler states that
OF dollars worth of these articles held on
foreign account are stored in that town. Three
acres of South Boston Wharf are completely COW
cred with molassos hogsheads, the leakage from
which, it is stated, amounts to forty thousand gal
Ions a day. This is worse than the policy of the
Dutch, who burn half tbjir spices to enchance the
value of the rest. In that case, for all purposes of
or health, the half, we dare say, is
as good as the whole, perhaps better, but in this
case there is an awful waste of swcetening. How
ever, there is even here one consolation. Perhaps
the molasses thus wasted is saved from being dis
titled into rum.
CHURCHES IN CnICAGo.-McCormick, the inven.
tor of the reaper, has offered to give 50. 600 a year
the support of a Presbyterian Church at
if they will secure Rev. DR.. Rice, of St.
Louis, as pastor. The object of the movement is
to cOunteract the anti-slavery tendencies Of the
Christianity that prevails in that city and State,
and if possible, to secure tie preponderance of
pro.s,avery opinions in the new Hyde Park theol-
ogical school about to be established at Chicago.

vention was held at Rockford, Ill.,, recently. Joel
Tiffany and several other prominent Spiritualists

moral and theological topics were expressed in the
form Of resolutions. Free Love" is thus disposed
of:
RESOLVED, That Spiritualists have never recog.
nized or approved "Free Love" as commonly un.
as one Of their doctrines, but on the con-
trary have ecer repudiated ii both in theory and

dation

of our lives to be wiser tomorrow than we are to-
day; and we therefore announce to the world than
base our claims to consistency upon our adher-

pressed forms of belief.
REIoLyED, That man will do right when he is
therefore man should strive to be right in
character, that he may do right in act; and that
