MISSOURI TO BE FREE.-It seems to be re-
duced to certainty that an early and unex-
pected fruit of the Kansas excitement will be
to precipitate the triumph of emancipation IN
Missouri. Recent events have directed spe-
cial attention to that State and her great nat
ural resources, and aim ost bouudless extent of
fertile and unimproved lands, have allured a
vast number of emigrants from Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana and Wisconsin. each of these States
having contributed largely to the population of
Missouri this spring. The late emancipation
movement has greatly accelerated this emigra-
ton, and the information which has been so
widely spread by the friends of free labor, in
regard to the small number of slaves in that
State and the limited space occupied by slave
labor, has had its natural influence. 1t appears
that the entire slave population is about enc
hundred thousand, against white population
of eight hundred and fifteen thousand. That
Slavery decreases wherever it comes in con-
tact with the immigration of white laborers is
demonstrated by a recent State census, which
proves that since the census of 1850 the white
population of the State has increased thirty
seven per cent, while the number of slaves
has increased but fifteen per cent. in the same
time. The high prices which negroes COM
mand in the Cotton-growing States operate at
the same moment to promote the results we
are noticing and as the extreme value of cot
ton bids fair to be maintained for long time
to come, the migratory movement of the
blacks must continue, in accordance with the
inevitable laws of trade, and will go on increa-
sing until it completely drains those more
Northern Slave States in which other labor
can readily be substituted. A prime field
hand will now command in the Cotton States
from 81 800 to 50 1000, which, at the legal rate
of interest 10 per cent? in Missouri, and the
cost of clothing and risk of keeping, is equiv
alent to $50 per month and board-a price for
labor that would call to Missouri such an army
of foreign laborers as would speedily cause
her wilderness to blossom. At present the
hardy men of iowa and Illinois, who UNDER
stand the position and prospects of Slavery in
Missouri, are those who are availing them
selves of her cheap land and favored climate
the immense eastern emigration to those
their improved farms at high prices. Thus
the two forces of cheap lands and dear ne
groes are solving political problem, under
the operation of natural, or if you please, a
higher, law, which is both inhexible and ire
sistable.-N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.

CLINTON CouNrY.-On Monday, May 25th,
| the body of youth supposed to be about l6
years of age, was discovered among the logs in
the boom at this place, by the men in the en-
| ploy of the boom company. The Coroner be-
| ing absent, w. S. Gile, Esq, was called upon
to hold an inquest. The body, when found,
was dressed in cotton shirt and gray undershirt,
satinett pants, and kip boots. There was moth
ing found in the pockets or on the person of
the deceased by which he could be identified.
After the examination of the body and such
witnesses as could be found, the jury returned
| a verdict Of accidental drowning, and that they
believed the body to be that of youth who
was reported to have been drowned during the
late flood, at near Grugan's in this county.

GENERAL WILLIAM WALKER.

The career of Gen. Walker in Nicaragua has
been brought at last to its long anticipated ter
mination. On the 1st of May, yielding to the
conviction which must long before have fore
ed itself upon his, as it had upon the minds of
all calm lockers on, he retired with his staff
and 26O men, icing the remnant of his force,
from Rrvas, upon the San Juan del Sur. and
went on board the U. S. sloop ST. Mary where
the whole party was kindly taken under pro-
lection by Captain Davis and brought him to
Panama, whence they have found their way in
Empire City to New Orleans. They were re-
ceived upon their landing by a large concourse
of citizens, who are said to have lionized them
considerably. The General will most proba-
bly,, il wise certainly, retire at least to his ma
tive State Of Tennessee, where his father and
family reside. He has lost two brothers in the
war, and he himself has had a narrow escape.
His own family has suffered with hundreds of
others, whose sons have been induced by him
into participation in his fillibustering career.
The history of his expedition is full of instruc-
tion, and it is to be hoped that its moral will
not be lost sight Of. We shall learn full par
ticulars of his final retreat by the Illinois now
due at New York. 1t is stated that Walker
capitulated to the U. S. Commodore, because
he (Capt. Davis) had signified his intention to
seize upon the schooner Granada, which held
Walkers reserve, and that Costa Rica was not
known in the articles OF capitulation. This
language is unintelligibe to us, as we have had
no information of the United States having
been at war withWalker, or of any Instructions
having been sent out to Capt. Davis to arrest
Walker or to interfere in any way, for or a.
gainst him.

WALKEn's $ sPoLroY.-Some Paul Pry has seen
in Washington city, a copy of Gov. Walkers
proposed Introductory address to the people of
Kansas, and has divulged its contents. The
leading points in the address are as follows
The people of Kansas in the State constitu-
tion which they are about to frame Cpro-slave-
ry) must settle the slavery question for them
selves. The President recognizes the valid-
ty of. the local laws (pro-slavery) providing
for the June election, &c. and in regard to
the stand aloof policy adopted by the free
State party, Mr.. Walker, says: ssThroughout
our whole Union, however, wherever free gov
ernment prevails, those who abstain from the
exercise of the right of suffrage authorize
those who do vote to act for them in that con-
tiDgency, and the non-voters are as much
bound under the law of the constitution, as
we'll as by an overruling moral necessity, by
the act of a majority of those who do vote, as
though all had participated in the election
He has to enforce the laws he thinks the
provisions for the election are smooth and fair
and if there should be frauds in the election,
the Convention will be honest. But then, as a
last resort, if there is wrong there is rene
dy in Congress. He next says: s'I cannot
doubt that the Convention, after having franz
ed State constitution, will submit it by SOL
emn oath for ratification or rejection by ma
jority of the people of Kansas He enters
into an earnest constitutional argument upon
this point. But in this connection he also
says: 81 have, ever throughout my life, re-
garded the framing of constitution by a con-
vention of delegates but a mere prelimna-
ry proceeding, expressing but simply the o.
pinions of the convention, but obligatory on
ly when ratified by solemn vote of the peo-
pie themselves
Gov. Walker fore shadows q new course OF
policy, thus: 'sIt is true that the constitution
OF State, as has been the case with many,
may be silent on the subject of slavery in
which case, in the absence of any prohibition
of the legislative power of a State granted in
one general comprehensive clause, the Legis-
lature of the State, elected by the people,
might act on the question of slavery as they
have done in other States,'' &c. He thinks
that this forthcoming Convention will have the
perfect right to adopt this course of non-in-
terveHtion in their State constitution.
In this pre-arranged address, he gives a new
kink to the Administration, family suggesting
division of the terrltory-ssthe great and fer
tile Indian country, soon, hope, to become
State, aided and encouraged by the State of
Kansas !" said ''fertile Indian country to be
a slave State. 1t is to be seen whether the
Administration win act upon the suggestion.
Evidently, the slavery propagandists now des-
pair of holding the entire territory, and would
be thankful to get half the loaf rather than
no bread.

LOOKING GUILTY.-Nothing can be more
absurd than the idea of ''looking guilty'' prov
es guilt. An honest man charged with crime
is much more likely to blush at the accusation
than the real offender, who is generally pre-
pare br the event, and has his face ssready
made for the occasion. The very thought of
being suspected of anything criminal will bring
the,blood TO an innocent mans cheeks, in
nine cases out of ten. The most s'guilty look
ing" person we ever saw, man arrested
for stealing horse-which turned out to be
his own property.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Two men were killed on
the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad on
Thursday morning, May %, by the Express
Mail Train going west. They were walking
towards Harrisburg, on the west track, and
stepped to the other to avoid an approaching
freight train from the west, not noticing the
mail train which was close upon them. The
engineer blew his whistle, but the engine
struck them before they had time to save
themselves, killing them instantly. The name
of Fitzgerald was found upon one of them, and
considerable amount of counterfeit money.
together with some burglars tools. A boot
and shoe store, in Middletown, was broken O.
pen and pundered the evening before the ac-
cident, and from the fact of the chisels found
upon the deceased corresponding with the
marks on the rifed premises, it is presumed
that the bodies are those of the burglars. 1t
is also reported that lumberman named Fin
ney was robbed, on the same night, who was
stopping at kendig's Hotel, Middletown. His
room was entered through the window---his
trunk broken open and 5000 in cash taken.
The envelope which contained the money was
found on the men that were killed, but none
of the money.

PARTY DIsAFFECTIoN.-A NEW MOVE on THE
CHESS BoARD.-We see it stated that large
number of dsaffected Democrats. with the en-
tire body ''of the Liquor League" embracing
the legion of Dutch and Irish doggery keep
ers scattered broadcast over the State, are a.
bout to unite with the straight Americans in
the nomination of Col. JOHN w. GEARY for
Governor,--Packer and Wilmot both being
obnoxious to these very virtuous and excellent
patriots. Such a combination if consumma-
ted, ought to disgust every good citizen of the
country, and we think it would. Running m
der such auspices. Col. Geary, or anybody else,
would merit, as he would receive, a most in
glorious defeat.

THE REWARD FOR M'KM's ARREsT.-The
Philadelphia Evening Journal, of the 10Th,
states that the sslarge reward'' of over twenty
five hundred dollars, offered for the arrest and
conviction ofDavid Stringer M'Kim, the mur-
derer Of Samuel T. Norcross, has dwndled to
five hundred paltry dollars, and for this there
are two claimants, Messrs. Koons and Wolf
This diminution has been caused by the back
ing out of parties, who, before the arrest, were
willing to bestow indefinitely large sums upon
the eaptors. The reward claimed by Wolf has
been attached in the hands of the officials at
Harrisburg by his creditors. The Journal
states that there are several rich phases in con-
nection with the M'Kim affair, which NAV be
made public hereafter.

two immense deer of the elk species some
time since, stripped them of their horns and
hides, and formed them into an arm chair,
which he has presented to President Buchan-
