VALUE OF FALLEN LEAVES.

No manure is so well worth the sas.
ing, in October and November, as the
now falling leaves of the season. Ac-
cordiug to Payne. they contain nearly
three times as much nitrogen as ordinary
barn yard manure; and every farmer
who has streWn them in his trenches late.
in the fall, or in December, must have
noticed next season, how black and moist
the soil is that adheres to-the thrifty
young beets he pulled! No vegetable
substance yields its woody fibre and
becomes soluble quicker than leaves, and
from this very cause they are soon dried
up, scattered 10 the winds and wasted, il
not now gathered and trenched in, or
composted before the advent of severe
winter.
As leaves are poor in carbon, and rich
in alkaline salts, as well as nitrogen,
they are especially valuable in compost
with menhaden fish manure, and dead
animals, poor in potash, but abounding
in carbon and lime phosphates. But the
great value of leaves, is in the extra nj
trogen they contain. Prof. Jackson truly
says, that the compounds of nitrogen not
only decompose readily themselves, but
they also induce the clements of other
organic matter with which they are in
contact to assume new forms, or to enter
into new chemical combinations and
according to the long continued and va
ried Rothamsted experiments of the inde-
fatigable Lawes and DR.. Gilbert, nitro
gen in its compound form ammonia, also
exerts the same potent influence on the
inorganic or mineral elements of the soil,
rendering even sand into the soluble food
of plants. Yet every farmer or gardener
ought to know that his own mechanical

keep his soil peimable and absOrptire.

Slave Hunting.

Another of those outrageous and tyran-
nical acts which are peculiar to the slavery
fostering government of the United States,
was perpetrated in this town on the night
of Wednesday last. a file of soldiers, at
the dead of night, were marched up 10 The
residence of Mr.. John Ritchey, immediate
ly on the outskirts of the town, headed by
that pusillanimous tool of Bogus Law and
Slave catchers, Deputy Marshal Butcher,
who, it viii be remembered, made Us sim
liar visit about three weeks ago. The OBJ
iect of this visit, as before, was to capture
some alleged fugitive slaves, whom the Dep
uty and one Mills, their pretended owner,
believed to be secreted here.
Without presenting a writ or other evi
dence of his acting in any official capacity,
the Deputy, true to the instincts of that
Border Rufiianism which he serves, at
tempted at once to foreibly enter Mr.. RS
house, by breaking open the door with an
axe, but was brought to a stand by the
click of some sharp shooters, and was COM
PEELED to obtain an increased force to Sc
cure an entrance. It is needless TO say
that no '.niggers' were found. The Gar
vey House was afterwards searched by them
with the same result.
in this way, the sanctity of their dwellings
outraged, themselves subjected to pillage
and insult, is question yet to be answered.
It's continuance or cessation depends entire
ly upon the answer which the people them
selves shall give TO it. Time was when a
MANS house was his castle, into which no
power could venture with impunity. with
out due process of Law. Shall that time
ever return 1t is for the people of Kanzas
10 say whether band of assassins and
mountebanks, who pretend to administer
law in this Territory, shall continue TO des-
ecrate their dwellings,. prostitute justice,
and set a. nought the most sacred and ina
ienable of rights. Let Deputy Marshal
Butcher, or any other man who shall at
tempt to violate the saciedness of the home
circle, as has been done in this instance,
feel at once the vengeance of sovereign
citizen, and the extent of the peril which he
thereby incurs. Let him be made an exam
pie for the benefit of all who are now or who
may hereafter be disposed to trample upon
individual rights while engaged in sthe ne
farious business of slave-bunting. With
proper example made of such men, before
their eyes, we apprehend that, the business
of siaYe-catebing In this Territory will
speedily come to an end, and the man who
strikes the FIRST blow in resistance will Sc
cure for himself place place in history be-
side the heroes of the revolutions who per-
lied their lives in the cause of human free

The following prayer is reported Verdatin'
ct literatins, as delivered on the morning af-
ter there had been FIVE fights in Lecompton,
in which some of the Delegates were engag-
ed, and day in which the whole Conven-
ton were on drinking bout: ave would
thank Thee. oh God that Thou has was:
willed it that the Honorable Delegates to this
Convention should have comported thems
selves in way to rebound to the edifying
of the people and that their dspOrtpssat has
been so orderly. That the voice ofThe row
dy is no longer heard in the streets of Le-
compton. since they have come in our midst,
and we would pray that their works may re-
dound to the glory of God. That the peo-
pie may accept and enjoy them; that Thou
wouldst make through the land true polit-
ical system, overthrow fanaticism; and that
this Convention may terminate as it has be-
gun, usefully and gracefully"
The above is cool-positively. It must
have been refreshing to the Delegates, es.
pecially the holy satire contained in the
fore part:
There were number of others, but as
they possessed no particular traits of char
acter, and but little to distinguish them from
the common herd, we forbear to trouble our
readers further, contenting ourselves with
inscribing their names upon the ROLL OF
INFAMY, there to be forever, we hope, brand
of shame and lasting disgrace.
Freemen of Kanzas, mark these men.
See that in no way do they receive aught
from your hands but the hiss and seorn they
so richly deserve. Hold them up to infamy
let the name of Traitor and Felon be ad-
ded to their own, and never. as you value
all that your fathers left you of Liberty, let
the memory of the crime be erased from the
pages of History. Let their fate stand as
mark by which the future shall take warn
ing, and men shall remember what it is to
traffic with the liberties of the people.
Benedict Arnold met, in the universal
scorn of the world, traitors fate. May
this nest of traitors, viler even than Arnold,
meet fate as much more fearful as their
crime exceeds his in atrocity. Remember
the Roll of Infamy, and the men who figure
therein.

PEN AND INK ETCHINGs
s-= OF THE
CONVENTION.


Now that the conclaye of broken down
political hacks, demagogues, fre-eaters, per-
jurers, rufians, ballot-box suffers, and
loafers that lately assembled at Leeompton
has dispersed, after having completed their
felonious work of making Constitution con-
trary to the wishes and views of vast ma
jority, it MAJ be as well to give the public a
few etchings by which in days to come they
will be recognised. There were few men
of talent and a great many more possessing a
large amount of ambition in the Convention,
who at some future day will be found seek
ing Office and favor from the peoples hands.
We will commence with the President of the
Convention,
JOHN CALHOUN.
John Calhoun is choice specimen of the
genus homo known as political demagogue.
He is native of Boston, Mass, the only
New Englander in the body. but has ''spent
all his manhood in Illinois, Is that the
reason he brought SO little to Kanzas?) He
is forty-eight years of age-a surveyor by
profession and an Office seeker and politician
by practice. He holds the Office of Survey
or General of Kanzas and Nebraska, in
which capacity bis principal aim has been to
advance ruf6anism. annoy the Free State
men, drink bad liquor and do the smallest
amount of work possible. Calhoun is tall,
stout man;-once in his life he might have
been good looking. but the sensual, bullying,
brandy y-hued visage he now shows has but
little title to anything in the shape of beau
ty. He has been an otfce-holder all his
life. and is really a man of some talent, His
laziness prevents his exerting it much. He
is Bank Commissioner for Illinois, and
was returned to Congress from the Spring
field Districtof that State in 1882 Calhoun
is Judge Douglas s.man Friday" in Kan

sion, and resides in or near Westport, Mo-,
though elected to the Territorial Legislature
by the fraudulent Oxford returns. He may
be summed up as man of principles, sueh
as they are, devoted to their maintenance,
and entirely unserupulous in his mode of
advancing them. Sharp, shrewd, talented
and persevering, he is dangerous foe and
devoted partizan. He voted steadily for
submission.
RUSH ELMoRE
was formerly one of the u S. Judges ap-
pointed by Pierce. He is from Alabama, a
lawyer by profession, and decidedly the most
talented of his profession ever appointed to
Office in Kanzas. He was inundated at the
same time as Reeder, for completely in the
Kaw half-breed land speculation. Elmore
resides at Tecumseh, is thirty Eight years of
age, and at some time will turn up again a
candidate for Office. He is unscrupulous
and designing-pretends to be conservative,
and for that reason is still more dangerous.
His course in the Convention was that of a
schemer-introducing motions for bun
combe, and trying to lay up future capital,
by protesting great devotion to the peoples
rights. Elmore Is about six feet in height,
massive frame, large head set firmly on his
shoulders. His physiognomy expresses a
mixture of cunning and intellect, vigor and
weakness, and animal passions, restrained
by desire to appear decent. Elmore tried
his hand ala Brooks last winter and attempt
ed to beat and assasinate J. H Kagi, the
reporter of the National Era. Kagi car
ried .'too many guns" for the Judge, and
he received wound which laid him up for
several months. The Judge is a very good
speaker and sustained the Administration
measure.
s COL. w. II. JENKINs
is South Carolinian-a true son of the
Palmetto State, extremist, fre-eater, Multi
fer. Disunionist and Rufianish, all in one
breath. He is from Marysville, Marshall
county, twenty seven years of age, lawyer
and quite good looking fellow. Jenkins
is talented, but being. through whisky, in
delightful state of oblivion one-half of the
time and the other somewhat confused, it
may well be supposed that the Convention
did not have many proofs of his intellect.
Jenkins was member of the second Bogus
Legislature, and distinguished himself there,
as in this body, by extremely ultra views.
