News FROM KANsAs-Sr. Louis, Thursday
Nov. 5.-A letter in the St. Louis Democrat
dated Lecompton, Nov. ,, says that Walker
had left there few days before, and his desti-
nation was thought to be.for Washington
1t is stated that Walkers object in stationing
the troops at Lecompton was not exactly to
protect the Convention, nor to watch and be
prepared for any action his Pro-Slavery ene-
mics might take against him but because
the Legislature having a large Free State ma
jority, they will probably repeal the obnoxious
laws and depose the office holders in which
case reptition Of the bloody scenes in the
early history of the Territory is apprehended
The Constitution will be submitted to the peo-
Pile, with Slavery clause which will be OBJ
iectionable to the Frce-Statc men and too
moderate for the Pro-Sayery ultrasts

THE AMERICAN AGRIcrTURAL1sT.-We take
pleasure in recommending the 1mericon Agri-
culturaLd to our farmer friends 1t is good
useful and readable paper, and one which
shoudb a welcome visitor to the freside of eve4
ry farmer in the land 1t contains good reading
for the Gardener, the Horticulturist, the Pom
ologist, the Florist, and even for the general
reader who, though no cultivator of the soil,
yet delights in the pleasant details of soil cul
ture Take our word for it, brother farmer,
than one dollar year invested in the Ameri-
tan agricultural ist, published in New York
by Orange Judd, will be the most profitable
speculation you can make with that amount of
money.

AH-wA-GA HoUsE-We are glad to announce
to the numerous friends of the Ah-wa-ga
House, Mr. Brewer and Ben Wilcox, that
Ben and Brewer have entered into partner
ship-the Ah-wa-ga to be henccfcrth under the
firm of Brewer q Wilcox
This, if any thing can, will add to the fame
of the Ahwa-ga as well kept, comfortable,
first class Hotel second to none on the line of
the New York 4 Erie Rail Road Mr. VIII
cox has been for the last ten years engaged in
Hotel Life, and can boast of many warm
friends and acquaintance In Ithaca, when
the right hand man of Col Seymour, he stood
among the most esteemed and respected, ard
when the Colonel came to the Ah-wa-ga, Ben
Wilcox came also. Since then the travelling
public on the line of the New York & Erie,
and the citizens Of this County, have known
and valued his warm yet gentIemanIy attention
and never failing vigilance. The comfort,
convenience and taste OF his guests appear to
be his special study, and none who have eype
rienced his kindly and respectful attentions will
likely exchange them for any other.
We congratulate Mr. Brewer on this impor
taat accession. 1t will materially relieve him
from many Of the most annoying reares incl
dent to the important position which he holds,
enabling him to throw the personal supervision
Of the thousand and one details of Hotel man
agement on younger shoulders-on person
whose experience in catering to the public taste
is eXccllcd only by Mr.. Brewer himself
The large number of permanent boarderS
including several families of the highest respec-
liability, and the numerous guests that crowd
the bouutifully supplied and elegantly laid ta-
be are the best criteron to judge of the popular
ity Of the Ah-wa-ga House under the superyi
sion and management of Brewer & Wilcox
OrcGo Times.

Governor Walkers Second Proclamation.

Three days after Governor Walkers first
proclamation was issued, rejecting the so call
ed election returns from the Oxford Precinct in
Johnson county, a second proclamation, was is
sued setting aside the returns from three pre-
cncts in McGee county, on account, as the
Governor expresses it, Of the monstrous
frauds" there perpretrated. Governor Wal
ker has endearorcd to- fulfil, as far as the re-
turns are concerned, the prorHis Of impartall-
ty which he originally made to the free-state
men of Kansas. These proclamations at first
surprised and then eXaSperated the border ruff
fans A a meeting of the " National Demo-
Gratis assembled" as they say, in Lccompton"
on the day after the first proclamation was
promulgated, resolutions were passed in denur-
citation of the Governor, and calling on tie
President to recall him in disgrace for an al
lodged transgression of Instructions, and ass
sumption of authority. .
This charge is founded upon the fact that
there is parliamentary raie which provides
that legislative body may determine upon the
qualifications of its members. On the other
hand, it is argued that the organic law of the
territory, requiring the GOVernOrtO give certl-
fcates of ele, ton to those candidates having
IL majority of tegat r0tts, constitutes that officer
Judge of the returns.
From intimations which have been permit
ted to become public, it appears that the adj
miniStraton has resolved not to punish Gov
ernor Walker by formal removal, but to con-
sure him in such manner as to compel his
resignation. by despatch received this
morning, we learn that he left Kansas yester-
day for Washington, where he will have an
opportunity of reply ing to the charges of the
border-ruf1ian party and of learning the views
of the administration in regard to his policy

A CASE or TRANsFUsIoN.-A wOman's life
was curiously preserved by her husband in
Stalfordshire, England, lately by the process of
TRANSMISSION. She lay at the point of death,
as last resource vein was opened in her
arm, by Dr. WheatCroH, surgeon Of Channock
and one in the arm Of her husband, and as the
blood flowed from the latter it was transmit
ted by suitable apparatus to the vein of the
wife. After seventeen ounces had been thus
injected the pulse became perceptibe and the
colorless lips reddened, the CLASSY eye bright
ened, and she thankfully said " | am better"
The case has progressed very favorably, and
the woman is recovering .-

AN UNWORTHY ExANPIE.-The d" National
Democrats" of Lecompton true brethren of
the party of that ik in Pennsylvania, have
held meeting to denounce Governor Walk,
er for being so undemocratic as to reject a
fraudulent election return, They had resolved
as follows
" That this meeting will not initiate the ur,-
worthy example of the. Governor and Secre-
tary, by going into an investigation of the fact
as to whether the Oxford returns contain lille
gal votes or not"
We have thas high democratic authority for
saying that to inquire into the iIegality of elec
tions is an =" unworthy example " for democrat
ic Office holders to set. What an abandoned
party it must be which stigmatizes an honest
act as being unworthy"

SERMON BY \ MISSIONARY FROM SYRIA
The Rev. II. II. Jcssup, missionary of the
American Board, at Tripoli, Syria, and son Of
Judge JesSup, of Montrose, was in this City on
Sunday and preached in the morning at the
Green Hill Presbyterian Church, and in the
evening at Calvary Church, in Locust street
Mr.. Jessup's morning discourse was exceed
ingiy interesting. 1t was founded on the text
from jeremiah "They have forsaken the
fountains of living waters, and hewn ont for
themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can
hold no water" Tie subject was the state Of
moral degradation which the entire East has
fallen into in consequence of their deserton Of
true christianity The Mahometan religion
was taken as fair specimen of the religions of
the East, and the speaker told just what he
himself had seen and heard Of that religion at
the scene of his labors there were from ten to
fifteen thousand followers of the false prophet
The sketch was striking and impressive one,
and was followed by practical application Of
great force.
\ chapter of the New Testament was read
previous to the discourse, and the landmarks
and Eastern customs referred to in it were eX-
planned with a force which such cXpoStions
do not generally possess, except from the lips Of
of those who have actually passed through the
sacred scenes which they describe
We understand that Mr.. and Mrs. JesSup
set out for the scene of their labors in Syria in
the course Of few weeks.-Phaa. Bulletin.
