Taking the Census I'm Kansas.

Reliable information from the Territory
exposes the most outrageous demagoguery
and injustice in the taking of the census &C
cording to a recent act of the Kansas Legis-
lature. As was from the first supposed
would be the case, the whole proceeding is
perfect farce.
AS the law of the bogus Legislature for
taking the census allows Sheriffs and their
deputies four dollars per day for their trouble,
there is large number of them at work.
The correspondent of the Chicago Press,
says, however, that they do not take much
trouble with the census operation, getting
all the information they want from their pro-
slavery friends. and setting down only such
names as they like. They refuse to insert the
names Of any Of the Free Safe emigraias aho
mace come IN this spring, eren Of those arho haze
arrtusd early. They call them "transient. -
The county courts instruct them to take no
names unless the party has been resident
previous to the 18th ult. While this Is the
rule they observe towards Free State men
they are ps,ting thousands Of names of Dro.
sLarery men on the list aohO haze nerer Iired
IN Kansas. and qoho never wM. The names
If all the members OF the Shawnee Associ
alton, some thirty-f FIVE hundred are on the
list of voters. 1t is the same elsewhere.
Although it is well known that at least
lonr-hfths-some say nine-tentns--of the
actual oona fde resident voters are opposed
70 the extension of slavery INTO that or any
other ierr''orv, 1T is the evident determine
ton OF the party now in power aided bv the
recent bogus Legislature, to secure ma;ori-

In this they will probably succeed, for ther

WINoNA ELEcTIor.-The Democrats have
elected their Mayor and a majority of the
Aldermen in Winona. The Winona Repab-
iicaa, however, takes courage, and speaks Of
the partial defeat Of its party with a proper
grace. We quote:
But, gentlemen our heads are yet above water-our
flag STILL THRRE--and is motto! Despite
of the opposition to Them the Republicans
succeeded in eecting their Recorder, Treasurer two
Aldermen and Assessor. The sun has shone forth
brilliantly from behind darker cloud than any which
envelopes the Republican party of Winona. For not
outstanding they have been partially defeated In this
election, firm belief that III election in which
the principles of Republcansm versus Democracy,
alone might be the issue, the former would triumph BY
respectable majority" -,i
Stick to that, neighbor Sinclair, and you
will win at the June election.

haps under q new administration, a different
policy inaugurated. Under these and many
other difficulties, Mr.. Rice stood up nobly
and honorably, doing all he could for Mime
sofa and her grant tasking all his energies
even at times to physical prostration, and
exerting all his influence to accomplish the
object We 30 greatly desired.
Our bill was not party question. We
all met on common ground, as citizens of the
Territory, seeking common good; and it
is but justice to others to say that whilst
some were necessarily more prominent in
passing the bill, that every Minnesotian who
was at Washington City last winter, labored
faithfully and efficiently. Where all did
well, it might be invidious to particularize.
Our land JiN ,cas passed By The united egosts
Of all the Minnesotiams IN Washimgton-Mr.
Rice as delegate doing his duty manfally,
bringing to its aid Southern influences that
your correspondent, who says he was On the
spot, ought to know were invaluable.
l am no admirer of Mr.. Rice's politics, and
never expect to be unless he changes great
ly. have not been backward in denounc-
ing many of his acts but fair play is jewel.
The Republican party needs no such appl-
ances to build it up as detraction. Its foun-
datlons are laid deep in the hearts of the
people, and are based on justice and equal
rights to all, white and black, rich and poor,
high and low, bond and free. We should as
party, be as faithless to our professions
were we to refuse measure of justice to.a
political opponent, as the modern patent
Democrats are, when they at the same time
sing hosannas to Democracy and sustain an
Oligarchy of Slave Holders in attempts to
crush out Free Labor in Kansas.
If Minnesotians at home will be as faithful
to the interests Of the Territory as their
delegate was in securing the land grant al
Washington the last winter, they will, on the
water shed Of the Great North American
Continent build up an Empire State tina,
shall outstrip their most sanguine cxpecta-
tons; and if the Great Republican Party will
be as true to its principles, we viii in time
be nation Of Frcemen, with no citizen os-
TRACKED because Of his color, as per the late
outrageous decision of the United States
Supreme Court. For which consummations
let us all labor. Yours truly,
RICHARD CHUTE.

Arrival Of Gov. NIedary.

Gov. MEDARY, accompanied by his son-in-
law, Hon. JAS. H. SMITH, Hon. JOHN G
BREsLIN, late Treasurer of State of Ohio
and Mr.. McCooK of that State, arrived yes
terday, Overland from the point where the
Time and Tide sunk. They took quarters
at the Fuller House. The Governor is in
good health, and ready to assume his duties.
We hope he and his friends will charge theil
disagreeable and unpropitious introduction
into St. Paul to the clerk of the weather.
We feel sure they will not blame us Mime
sotians, as they left plenty of snow and ice
behind them in the interior of Ohio last
Thursday.

River Items.

ARRIvALs.-The Equator arrived night
before last from the Minnesota river. The
trip from St. Paul to Mankato and back was
performed in three days and twelve hours.
STEAMBOAT DIsAsrERs.-Yesterday morn
irg about three o'clock, as the Time and
Tide was returning from the head of the
Lake, with about $50 passengers, among
whom was Gov. Medary, she was truck by
heavy field of floating ice, when within
about Is miles of St. Paul, which caused
her to leak SO much that her officers were
obliged to run her on shore. No lives were
lost. The whole of the passengers found
their way up during the forenoon, by differ
ent means. The boat will be Immediately
raised, and repaired, as she is not much in
jured.
P.S. Since the above was in type, the
Time and Tide has arrived.
The II. T. Yeatman, while on her way
down on Tuesday afternoon, was blown up
on rock near Hastings, splitting hole
about eight feet long in her hull. She sunk

draws 18 inches of water, and is capable of
carrying 25 tons. Capt. Robinson IS to be
chief in command, and he intends to run her
from La Crosse to Hokah, and up Root river
as far as Rushford. This will set BUSINESS
moving on that river, and bring into promi-
nent notice several important and pleasantly
located towns in the fertile valley, and be of
immense advantage to Hokah, and Houston
particularly.
The steamer Gray Eagle, built for the
Galena, Dubuque and St. Paul Packet Com
pany, is expected to arrive here Tomorrow

A Fearful Ride.
(From the Cumberland Telegraph,


On Wednesday morning, as the early coal
train from the mines Of the Cumberland Coal
and Iron Company were coming down the
grade about O'Clock, the train ran over a
large boulder which had rolled down from
the embankment Immediately upon the cen
over it with slight damage, but the balance
of the train, including the tender, had every
brake ripped out from one end of the train
to the other. The brakemen becoming
aware of this fact, and seeing in moment
that the cars could not be controlled, going
down grade of over one hundred feet to the
mile, thinking discretion the better part Of
valor, at once left the train. On it went, and
at each revolution of the wheel the momen-
tum increased, until the velocity become alb
solutcly fright!ul. The whistle sounded to
put down the brakes, but the only answer
was wild. unearthly whistle reverberating
amongst the black hills, scarcely heard be-
fore it died away or was drowned by the rat
ting of the swift revolving wheels upon the
iron track. At lenght the engineer became
convinced that something must be the mat
ter.
Adjusting his valves, he began cautiously
to pick his way to the rear of the train. AS
he advanced through the thick darkness he
tried to put down the brakes of first one and
then another of the cars. All were broken
off or damaged by the rock on the track
He at length felt his way back to the two
cars at the rear of the train. Pulling out the
coupling pin he felt sure he could control
them when detached from the train. But
they were in the same condition-all were
broken. No control could be exercised over
them. The train was now running at a
frightful speed. What to do was the next
question. To jump seemed like certain death,
while to remain upon the train promised no
exemption from similar fate. A moments
thought determined the course of the intrep-
id engineer. Clinging for moment to the
rear car, he commenced climbing down till
he could feel the ground with his feet. He
then let all holds go, falling against the
ground with much violence, but escaped with
few painful bruises. u
On went the train at furious rate. The
two detached cars were thrown from the
track before going great distance. One of
the other iron hoppers had the trucks knock
ed from under it, and was dragged some dis
lance, completely ripping out the bottom,
but finally checking the train some three
miles above town. Take it altogether it was
a fearful occurrence, and seen in the deep
darkness Of the night, whipping in and out
among the gorges of the mountain, with the
sparks and steam issuing from the locomo-
tive in vast column, or cautiously climbing
down to escape from almost certain death, it
must have presented scene OF fearful i'm
port. The name of the engineer was George
Myers.

The DEAD LETTER OFFICE-It is statef
that during the quarter ending the 3lst o
March, about two thousand dead letters have
been opened at the Dead Letter Office, con-
tanning money amounting in the aggregate to
over Sll 900; and already seven-eighths of
this amount have been resorted to owners.-
The estimates Of the department of whole
number of dead letters received in former
years, under the high postage system, was
three millions and half. Under the low

three millions year, although the number

for Minnesota, Gov. Chase presided. A gen.

Our triumph was but the utterance of the

would receive another and more vigorous

The editor Of the Times, in his Issue Of
yesterday, says it sis source Of gratifca'ion

"ber Of Indians)" published by him in ref
erence Il the bogus war "has been corrobo-

But lest you should charge US with "garb-

TRAvERsE, April 10th, 1857.
GEORGE The excitement is over; the
citizens have returned to their homes, hav-
ing been protected by the five stone build
ings in St. Peter, belonging to Gov. Cor
man, Mr.. Swift, and the Hotel, some of which
were well fortified with eight inch plank,
with port holes cut through in order to shoot
the natives as they would approach. There
was great deal of suffering among the poor
er classes, coming in, as they did, almost des-
titute Of clothing and food.
Messengers went out from St. Peter on
Sunday, with the news that from SO0 to IoO
Indians were marching on us with all posi-
BILE speed, carrying everything before them
the Indians killing all that could not make
their escape, burning houses, &c.
Now, the whole matter is about this "A
few drunken Indians wanted credit Of some
traders out on the Des Moines river, which
was refused. A difficulty ensued, in which
the whites were the first aggressors and
when the Indians became exasperated, they
commenced retaliation, and killed number
of the citizens in that settlement, and fled
towards the Missouri.
Not single hostile Indian has been seen
within one hundred miles of this place and
from all I can learn of the reported engage
ment, spoke of to you on Monday, is that
small party went out from Mankato, saw
some Indians running, fired on them, saw
four fall, ran back, and never looked to see
if they were dead. Now, presume they on
ly saw small piece of blanket on bush,
shot at it and run; and one man fell down,
denied his powder flask, which saved his life
by the balls striking, as he says. 1t now
turns out that no man was killed at all, nor
no Indian found dead.
suppose M'Leod and General Dodd are
now looking for that bush with the blanket
on it, and if they find it, they will be sure
that an Indian once owned the blanket, and
has cruelty deserted it, leaving it exposed to
the merciless grasp Of our Minnesota militia.
Affectionately,
G. H. SPENCER.
