AduIteration of Liquors.

Z. C. Deleyan, President of the New
York State Temperance Society, in a re-
cent address made the following statement:
Within a few weeks, it has come to my
knowledge, that a person, whose conscience
revolted at his employment, In q large liq-
uor establishment left it for a more limo
cent and creditable bu mess. He stated
that it now only took ten, some say only
four, gallons of pure whisky TO make a bar
rel of whisky of m To these are
added rain water, camphene, and arsenic,
The latter to restore the bead destroyed by
the water. He stated too that brandy
made TO initiate the real French brandy
and of the most poisonous character, was
sold at 81 a gallon, costing only % cents.
That all kinds of wine were initiated SO
closely that the best judges could not dis
criminate, costing but a trile, and sold at
prices to suit customers. The higher the
standing Of the customer and the more par
ticular as to satisfy him as to quality
The most celebrated brands were made
use of, and the names of the most celebra
ted European dealers given as the source
of supply; and European dealers, be il
known, are not much behind the American
traders in their adulteration. He quotes
an advertisement from a chemist in New
York, who is snow prepared to furnish fla
workings for every kind of liquors." and the
best Cogniac brandy, DC, is produced by
the same method"

Volcano IN GEoRGIA!!The Comet is
coming, and according to a writer in the
Augusta Chonicle, a Volcano has come
The correspondent states that a volcano
has recently made its appearance in Pigeon
Mountain, some ten miles distant from the
town of Lafayette, Walker county, Georgia.
A roaring had been heard at intervals in
the mountain since October, 1856, and the
oath of April last the earth was violently
agitated. The cou says:
The citizens in the vicinity were aroused
and terribly frightened by the commotion.
When observing the mountain they
were more than ever terrified, for a bril-
liant light was plainly seen issuing from
the summit. The atmosphere Don be-
came strongly impregnated with a disagree
able sulphuric odor. On the following day
a thick torrent of smoke and ashes ascend
ed where this light was previously SEEM
The smoke was not visible at night. This
was perhaps owing to the elements being
covered at the time with a very dark cloud.
No blaze has yet been seen to Issue from
the crater. 1t has continued about as
above described ever since, emitting smoke
and ashes without intermission. The era
ter is thought to be about one hundred
yards in diameter. No one has yet ven
tured near enough to ascertain anything
of its general depth. Several springs in
the vicinity have totally disappeared
Many of the citizens are very much alarm
ed, and some are even moving out of the
valley, through anticipations and fear of a
violent eruption.

Latest from Kansas.

A dispatch from st. Louis states that
the Free-State men of Kansas, through q
committee of the citizens of Lawrence, have
made distinct propositions to Secretary
Stanton for the peaceful settlement of all
the questions which now trouble that EN-
bryo State. That proposition is in sub
stance as follows:
1.-TWO persons Zone from each party,) Sc
lected in each district, will correct the reg
istry-list, and proceed together to register
the legal voters. The Probate Judges will
then correct the first list, and the apportion-
ments being made according to these re-
turns, four Judges of elections, two of each
party, will be selected for each precinct,
and the m of three of said judges will
be required TO the certificates to entitle a
person to seat in the Convention"
This proposition, it is added, Secretary
Stanton has declined-of course because
the Pro-Slavery party, who have entire
control of the bogus censu and registra-
ton, and who mean to hold the election
and count the votes without check or scru-
tiny, will not consent to abate one scruple
of their "pound of flesh" They have, at
great expense of effort and wear of con-
science, got their machinery all oiled for ma
king Kansas a Slave State, and they will
not forego their advantage. A fair cleo
ton would prove their ruin, so they will
none of it. And the Federal Administra-
ton, which, for the honor of human nature,
we must believe, would gladly feel at liber-
ty to take the side of justice in the premi-
ses, is constrained by its obligations to the
Slave Power to back its minious in Kansas
in refusing the Free-State men that fair
election so often promised them and which
is all they ask.
The Free-State men of Kansas have now
indicated their motives and COMPOUNDED
the malice of their enemies. If anarchy
and civil wal should ensue, History and
Eternal Justice will place the blame where
it belongs. The issue is now so clear that
sophistry cannot confuse, and falsehood
will in vain misstate it. 1t is q lamentable
fact that there ia portion of the Press of
the Free States base enough to misrepre-
sent and heap odium IN the Free-State men
of Kansas for simply insisting that the cleo
which is to decide their fate shall be a fair
one-one in which either party shall have
guarantees of equal and exact justice. But
in an age of general intelligence the right
must finally prevail. Let the Free-State
men simply stand on the ~impregnable
ground they o occupy, and give no shad-
ow of countenance TO any such fraudulent
sham election as the Border Ruffians are
concocting. The civilized world will APP
plaud their conduct, and a grateful posteri-
ty. hallow their memories. And, should
they be called to suffer anew for their prin-
ciples, they will not be left to suffer alone.
If the cause of Human Liberty needs more
martyrs on the soil of Kansas, all the Free
States will eagerly contribute them.

The Mob and Murders at Louis

The Cincinnati Commercial has the fol-
lowing account of the mob and bloody
scenes at Louisville Thursday evening:
The four slaves charged with murder
ing the Joyce family near the mouth of
Salt River, some time since, were acquit-
ted in the Jefferson Circuit Court this eve
ming. A noNe prosqui was entered in the
case of the boy Bill, who was made 8 wit
ness for the Commonwealth against the
Others. A mob, headed by a son of the
Joyce family, made several attempts to force
an entrance into the Jail, but failed owing
to the timely interference of the police
Gen. Pitcher, the Mayor, Immediately plant
ed a force of ten or twelve armed men, in
side of the Jail. On the approach of the
mob after tea, several volleys were fired
in the air by the Mayors force, for the
purpose of intimidating the mob, who mean
time were yelling like madmen, and appa-
rently bent on taking the lives of the ne
groes. Speeches were made by prominent
citizens and all efforts used to quell the ex-
element. The mob then procured a can
non, which was loaded TO the muzzle, and
pointed against the door of the prison,
with a lighted match ready to touch it off,
when the ~jailers cnpitulated. One negro
cut his throat, inside of the Jail, and three
others were hanged or the trees. 1t is
feared the mob will pursue and do violence
to Messrs. Rosseau, Wolfe and Mix, the
attorneys who defended the negroes.
Mayor Pitcher was struck fair in the
face with a brick, and conveyed to his res
idence. One Waterman had a finger shot
off, and a lad was severely injured by fall
ing out of a tree. The negro who cut his
throat is the same who turned States evil
dence. One other was kicked and beaten
nearly to death. Another was stabbed
twice before he was hung. His pockets
were filled with powder and clothes set on
fire. The mob finally dispered without
committing further violence. The ring
leaders were principally from Salt River
Joyce was frantic, and an Intellectual effort
was made to secure him.

Important decision.

Attention is directed to the decision Of
Judge BARrLY, published on the outside of
to-day's paper, in a case recently decidedly
the Supreme Court of Ohin, in which is
Involved a very important principle. This
decision conflicts with the bred Scott de-
cision of the U. S. Court, but it is good
law, nevertheless, and will be sustained by
the people of Ohio. Suppose it had been
otherwise decided; the door would thereby
have been opened to Shareholders to bring
their Slaves into Ohio, hire them out here
by the day or year or as long as it suited
their interest to do so, and so far as re,
strained by law, Ohio would have been as
e~ffectually a Slave State as South Carroll

our Courts invite them to the trial, by re
moving all barriers to the planting OF Slave

and however much Locofoism may how

A Fast Town.

Friend Baker, Ohio Secretary of State
and Editor of the Scioto Gazette, is per-
ambulating in Minnesota. Coming from
those old fogics, Chillicothe and Column
bus, a glance at the face of St. Paul has
set his pen running like a Mississippi six
boiler. The hotels, churches, banks, dwell
ings, men, women, horses, dogs and land
sha. ks, are all marvels in their way, and he
even expresses surprize that Sunday had
reached st. Paul! Hear him:
We talk in Ohio of "fast' men, and
"Young America" and all that sort of
thing. We know nothing about such
things, This is the fastest town and here
are the fastest people I have ever SEEM
Such business, such a rush, such "pitch-
ing in" is not to be found in the same COM
pass on the globe. Here is the city, here
are the people, here is the business. Since
Lake Pepin has opened (only few days.
over thirty steamboats, have arrived at this
landing, large boats at that, each landing
an average of two hundred passengers,
making over six thousand people, with an
immense amount of money and freight
There has been more life and activity at
the wharfthan l saw in Cincinnati a few
days ago. The freight that has been put
off is almost incredible.

CRIMINAL DOCKET IN KANsAs.-Judge
Cato's Court is in session at Lecompton.
Among the notables in attendance on the
4th were Secretary Stanton, Ex-Secretry
Woodson, Ex-Gov. Shannon, and Judge
Elmorc. Sixteen lawyers were admitted
to practice, among them Wilson Shannon.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
qusrer writes:
The criminal docket is a heavy one, we
are told upward of three hundred cases.
Among the political cases, that of the Ter
ritory of Kansas as. William Updegraft,
of Topeka, was called, upon the first read
ing of the docket; to which William Ste
vens, Esq, of Mansfield, Ohio, responded
on the part of the defendant, to the effect
that his client would be surrendered by his
bail, and desired to be placed in the hands
of the United States Marshal. He was ia
ken into custody accordingly; two others
followed suit, and are now under the care
of the same functionary.
There are two indictments against VIII
liam Updegraft, both for grand larceny,
alias breaking into a store and pressing
goods" during the late campaign in Kansas.
U~pdegraft is a Republican-the pa es ow-
ing the goods are of the opposite political
complexion.
The Hays case-made so notorious by
the difficulty between Judge Lecompt and
Governor Geary growing out of it, in rela-
ton to the propriety of admitting Hays to
bail-was also called, but not brought to
trial,on account ofthe prosecution being UNI
prepared, Hays, it will be remembered,
is the alleged murderer of Buffum.

Mr.. Underwood, the Secretary of the
American Homestead Company, has made
a good beginning in the work of peopling
the Old Dominion with free white folks.
The N. Y. Post publishes a letter from
him announcing the purchase of a tract of
some three thousand acres of good land in
Monongahala county, Virginia, within eight
miles of Mo-gantown, the county seat,
and the same distance from the Mononga-
hala river, at the moderate price of seventy
five cents an acre, by a French Protestant
clergyman for the use o some five hundred
French emigrants, his parishioners and
friends. These people will be settled on
the tract before summer is over, and the
Post says the probability now is that
thousands of their countrymen will be in
duced by the agents report to follow this
example. The lands for the congregation
are within twenty miles of the Pennsylva-
MIA line.
Mr.. Lorviaux, the French clergyman
who has made the purchase, is in this
country seeking homes for the freedom
loving Waldenses of the High Alps in the
southeast of France, who prefer a milder
climate than hat of our northwestern ter
~ritories. Mr.. U. turned his attention to
Virginia. He visited the State, and under
the auspices of the Emigrant Aid and
Homestead Company, bought a tract for
s%eventy-fve cents per acre equal in quality
he thinks to the lands of his own country,
which owing to the crowded state of pop
%ulation, are worth from three hundred to
five hundred dollars per acre. The wilder
nesses of the Old Dominion will vet bud
and blossom in spite other negrophobia.-
