The Union continues strenuous defence
of the policy of the Administration, with re-
gard to Kansas-and regards it as source
of great satisfaction that ''the people Of the
Territory, warned by their own bitter ex-
periences, are not disposed to avail them
selves of outside sympathy and assistance,
but are disposed to sustain Governor Walk
er, notwithstanding the persistent attacks Of
Northern and Southern assailants." The
Union, too, does not hesitate to comment
upon the esprit of sectionalism, whether it
has the North or the South for the theatre
of its mischievous and circumscribed action, D
and declares that the action of the extreme
school of politicians, in the two sections of
the Union. has for it's avowed object the
moulding of the domestic institutions of
Kansas to suit their respective meridian no.

THE MARCH OF INTELLECT IN MAssAcHU-

THE MARCH OF INTELLECT IN MAssAcHU-
sETTs.-In the statutes of Massachusetts,,
just published, chapter 206, certain provi-
sions occur which show quite stikingly how
the standard of education in the Public
Schools Of that State has risen within the
last twenty years. The Revised Statutes
and subsequent one had provided "that in
every town in the State, of fifty families or
householders, Public School should be
kept by an instructor competent to teach Or
typography, reading, writing, English gram
mar, geography, arithmetic, and good be-
haviour." The statutes of 1850 add to
these studies those Of s'algebra, the history
of the United States, physiology and by
giene." To the studies pursued in the
schools Of the next grade higher are added
general history, natural philosophy, chem
istfy, botany, the civil polity of the United
States, and Latin,' and those of the next
rank, ..:French, astronomy, geology, intel
lectual and moral science, and political e.
economy" These are very substantial ad-
ditions, and speak we'll for the success of
the Public School system of Massachusetts,

FATAL AFFRAY IN KENTUCKY

FATAL AFFRAY IN KENTUCKY -C;ncin-
matt, July 1.-THE Inquirer of this city
learns that quarrel recent occurred in
Morgan county, KY, between Leander M.
Cox, American candidate for Congress in
the Ninth District, and his Democratic OPP
ponent, J. c. Mason. The latter shot Cox,
resulting in his death. The deceased was
member of the late Congress, and Mason
has also represented the same district in
Congress.
The above report is discredited by the
Louisville Journal. The aAray is said to
have occurred on the 9Th in Morgan coun-
ty, but the Mt. Sterling Wing, of the 10th,
published in the adjoining county, makes
no mention of it.

THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY Is, 1857.

''Ion," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, says: 1.-The intelligence
from Europe by the Anglo-Saxon, is: Of
deep interest. The rebellion in India a.
gainst British authority has become so seri-
GUS as to cause an important change in the
pl1 for conducting the military operations
against China, No British troops can be
spared from India for the purpose of the
war against China, and large force from
England is Immediately to be despatched to
the British outposts in India. Therefore,
with surprising CELEBRITY, French troops are
substituted for the British force, intended
to proceed to China, and they are already
on the way The fact is remarkable evil
dence of the continuance Of good under
standing between these two powers, and
forcibly reminds us of the celebrated Amer
lean declaration that the two powers acted
in accord as to all matters in both hemis-
lpheres. Another consequence may result
from this change of the programme, to wit:
that France will in this, as in the Crimean
Campaign, take the lead. If she take the
lead in the war so will she in the peace
Whatever may be the result either of the
joint diplomacy or the united arms of these
governments, it will be shared equally by
| both"

SECOND DESPATCH
Nea1 York, July 13M.-The rioters re-
newed the disturbance Of last night and
have been fighting among themselves the
whole afternoon, occasionally attacking
strangers who ventured among them. Sew
eral persons were badly beaten, on the sup
position that they were policemen disguised.
Four or five hundred policemen are on the
ground, and the military are held in reserve
in the arsenal. It is said that member Of
the common council and many of the expo
lice are active among the rioters
A quorum of the city council did not
meet tonight in consequence of which the
police are still deprived Of the use Of the
station-houses. Mayor Wood is not to be
found,
At the last accounts the locality was COM
paratively quiet.
The riot commenced it consequence of the
attempt of Coroner Perry to hold an inquest
over the body of the man who was killed
yesterday, the rioters opposing his action on
account of his being an American.
The monument to Henry Clay, about to
be erected at Lexington, Ky, cemetery, is
to be one hundred and eight feet high, with
subbase, after the style of the proposed

resembles. The foundation of solid lime
stone masonry, forty feet square and fifteen
feet deep, has been laid in hydraulic cement,
on three feet of concrete or macadamized
stone Surrounding the whole is to be a
bronze statue of Henry Clay, eleven feet
high. The material of which the monu-
ment is to be composed is a magnetism
limestone, tested for durability, light free
stone color and sustaining a brilliant polish.
LiBER1A-C COLONIZATION success of
the interior settlement thus far is complete.
Eighteen months ago, on motion of Rev.
P Slaughter, the American Colonization
Society resolved to establish settlement in
mountains beyond the supposed influence of
malaria. The resolution was Immediately
carried into execution, under the superin-
tendence of the Rev. Mr.. Seys. Up to the
present time there has not been death,
and but few slight cases of fever. Letters
bust received from. the. colonists at Careys-
burg, the name of the new settlement, ex-
presses great satisfaction with their lot
May we not hope that this new settlement
inaugurates a new era in African Colonial
ton? Its present eminent success should
stimulate the friends Of the Society to come
forward with more liberal contributions and
strengthen this interesting point. All the
new settlers at Careysburg are T,yinians.
Donations are earnestly solicited by the

CAMBRIDGE PPoFEssoRs AND THE Sp1RITU

CAMBRIDGE PPOFEssoRs AND THE SPIRITU-
sTs.-Some time since, an offer of $500
was made through the Boston Courier to
any one who could exhibit in the presence
and to the satisfaction Of certain Professors
of the Natural Sciences in Harvard Univer-
sity, any such marvellous phenomena as
were commonly reported by spiritualists as
having transpired through the agency of
<'mediums" This challenge was accepted,
through DR.. Gardiner, and several persons
protesting to have spiritual communications,
met in the Albion Building, Boston, on the
last week Of June to show their powers, and
among the number were the "Fox girls"
so celebrated for their achieveme nts in this
line
The committee appointed to judge in the
case, consisted of Professors Pierce, Agas-
siz, Gould, and Horsford, of Cambridge.
The spiritual experiments were conducted
for several days, and the mediums allowed
ample and line opportunities OF making de-
monstrations but like the priests of Baal,
in the days of Elijah, they failed to call
down their deities.
The following is portion of the report
of the committee -
