THE North ANr THE SOUTH.-The most elo-
Quent Of all SoulhernCrs, as | think Mr. Prem
tlss of Miss, was addressing crowd Of some
1000 people in that State, defending the tariff,
and in the course of an eloquent period which
rose gradually to some beautiful climax, he
painted the thrift, the energy, the comfort, the
wealth, the civilization of the North, in glowing
colors, when there rose up on the vision of the
assembly, in the open air, a horseman of mag
ulicient proportious and ust at the moment of
hushed attention, when the voice of Prentiss
had ceased, and the applause was about to break
forth, the horseman exclaimed, "D-n the
North" The curse was so much in unison with
the habtual feeling of Miss sSlppl audience,
that it qucnchcd their enthusiasm, and nothing
but respect tor the speaker kept the crowd from
applaudlng the horseman. Prentlss turned his
lame foot around and said: "MaJOr Moody,
will you rein in that steed moment !" lie
assented. Sad he. Major, the horse on
which you SIT came from Upper Missouri; the
saddle that surmouns him came from Trenton,

How a SUN-SrRoGE ArrE;rs MAN.-The
general impression Is that death by sun-stroke
Is very PAINFUL but the contrary would seem to
be the fact, Judging from the following account
of the effect OF such a visitation, given by Gen.
Sir e. J. Napier. lie experienced an attack
while IN Sclnde, where the thermometer, accord
ing to the General himself, was as much use to
HIM as it would have been to IA boiling lobster,
and wroe as follows to one of his daughters:
The sun-strokG was a stt ggerer yet my
hope is to die by one, for never can death come
in an easier shape. | was just deadly sleepy;
it was deadly had | been left alone; but the
only feeling of the transition would have been
tlredness, like that experienced at being sud-
denly walked up before time. This was to de-
gree almost to be called painful, then came
pleasant drowsIness, with anger that the doc
tors would not let me sleep. Were it not for
others, would that my horn had then sounded: {:
SO easy, SO delightful, | may say, was the ap-
proach Of death"
This resembles the accounts that have been
given by men who have been saved from treez-
ing to death, after having got far down into the
cess Of cold produce precisely the same effects.

Gov. WALKER AND KANSAS. Walker
is receiving great credit from the Republican
papers for his speech at Big Springs, in refer
ence to Kansas affairs. lie seems to look at
the present difficulty not partisan, ont as
clear impartial Judge, dcsirous only that right
shall prevail, and the true voice of the people
be heard. He confidently predicts that, before
he is called Oh for any Official icton, the reign
of law, oil justice and cf the people Will be fully
established IN Kansas. In reference to the
Constitution framed by the Convention, he
says.
| speak not now in regard to the past, or any
registry otvotes But speak ns regards the tu-
turc. My doctrine is tins, that in the future,
when the Constitution shall be submitted to he
vote of the citizens OF Kansas, that it shall be
submitted to the vote Of the whole people. |
do not mean those Whoare now registered under
| the territorial law. DO not mean those who
were reaIag here on the 10Th OF March last,
but mean the whole people of kansas-nol
only those who are here now, but those who
will be here next FHH as actual residents
that they-the people over whom these insti-
tutlons are to operate-that the, by majority
of their votes, shall decide for themselves what
shall be their Constitution and what shall be
! their social institutions.
