THE AUSTRALIAN RACE-In. gener-
al, the Australian HAS the color and fea-
lures of the Negro, bat with hair instead
of wool The forehead, however, does
not receGe like the negro, and the eye
is more sunken and piercing; the lips
are less uniforml V thick, and the nose is
less depressed. But in some instances
observed, both nose and mouth were
wider; some indi7idRals seen by our au-
thor ''were Of surprising ugfiness; while
others, contrary to all anticipation, had
the face decidedly fine; and several of
the young women had very pleasing
expression Of countenance. The gem.
eral form, though sometimes defective,
seemed upon the average better than
that Of the negro; and DID not find the
undue slenderness Of limb which has.
commonly been attributed to the Aus,
tralians. Strange as 1T may appear, /
would refer to an Australian as the f.
nest model of the human proportions I
have ever met with, in muscular devel-
opment, combining perfect symmetry,
activity. and strength; while his head
might have Compared with an antique
bust of a philosopher"
The aboriginal Australians have no
proper form of government, nor any idea
of owership ofland5 both sexes (as might
be expected) go entirely naked. They
are strictly in ''thc hunting state
Their chief thought and care is to get
enough to eat. In many devices they
are exceedingly expert; as for instance
in their mode of ascending trees, throw
ing the boomerang missile which takes
a curved course, and the management
of their war weapons. They reject ALI
innovations and all attempts at civiliza-
ton. Yet they acquire English very
readily, and "a child educated at a
school in Sydney showed intellectual
capacity equal IN every respect to that
of his European companions"
The Australians are found only In
New Holland and Tasmania, or Van
Diemen's Land. Some probability ex4
lists, however, Of there being colony
f them in Central Persia, where there
is said to be tribe of blacks with

teemed steamboat master, well kno yn on the
Ohio, a. the owner of numerous popular
steamboats,, that run formerly between Gin
cinnati and st. Louis, died at Vicksburg last
week. OF bilious cholera. Capt. Philips ut
the time of his death, was owner oil the steam
ers Flying Cloud and Allegheny, large and
fortunate boats in the trade between St.
Louis and New Orleans. He Was educated
originally to the printing business-had been
an editor OF several popular papers, among
them the st. Louis Union /; but his passion
for the active employments of lite led him to
engage in land speculations and building
steamboats, He was at one time connected
with Col. Kinney, of Corpus Christi, and re-
Gently of Nicaragua. They once owned the
town OF Peru, in Illinois, part OF which
Philips owned TIL his death. Capt. Philip,
was an adventurous operator, and man oi
generous impulses that led him to use money
freely. After many vieissitudes of fortune.
we are glad to learn he leaves handsome
fortune TO his heirs.

A Terrible Tragedy at south Carroilton, X,

A Terrible Trasedy at south CarrOilt0n, Ky.
Through the politeness Of Mr.. Robert How
ard, we are enabled to lay before our readers
this morning the particulars of shocking
murder, committed in South Carrolton. Muh-
lenburg Co., KY, on Sunday, the 10th inst.
On election day, nearly three weeks since,
a misunderstanding arose between two clti-
zens OF South Carrollton, Hiram Little, the
keeper of publ house, and man named
Love. A few days afterward Love met Lit
the same time drawing pisto.. Little re-
piled thai he would soon prepare himself,
and accordingly did so. They met again in
few days, when shots were exchanged, but
neither party was injured. On Sunday NOR
ming, Love was observed in front Of L.ttle's
house, armed with double barrelied shot
gun, and he declared his intention TO kill
Little as soon As he made his appearance.
Little came out unarmed, and Love shot him
across the street, discharging both barrels
and killing Little instantly.
The greatest excitement prevailed in the
neighbCrhOOd. Love was arrested and lodg
ed N Jail. Both men had families, and We're
respected by all knew them. They had
always been friends up to the time OF the
difficulty on election day. IL is said that the
sympathies of most OF the citizens of Souti
Carroliton are enlisted ia Loves favor. bur
for what reason i, is difficult 10 determine.

Gov. Walker on the Kansas Diff

WASHINGTON, August 20--P. N.

WASHINGTON, August 20-P. N.
Gov! W alker Of Kansas in an official dis
patch recently received, says: ION one point
he has been grossly misreprescnted. namely:
a. desiring every man should vote who hap
pened to be in the territory on the day cleo
ton, for the ratification of the Constitution.
This, be remarks, would be desirable il there
was conclusive evidence that all such persons
were actual bone tde settlers but the only
sufficient and usual proOfot such q fact would
be some previous residence. On this point
which is one Of detail-he had never propos-
oil To make suggestions 70 the Convention,
although when asked his opinion by mem
bers of that body, he had indicated
previous residence of three or six
months. and that the same qualifications
should be adopted in the Constitution. in re-
gard not only to that, but to all future cleo
tons; and in his judgment. one or the other
of these terms of residence will be adopted by
the Convention, from whom he anticipated
| cordial cooperation. 1t Is somewhat extra
ordinary, he adds, .'that while this accnsa-
ton of letting every man vote who may hap
pen to DC in the territory, on the day OF cleo
ton. has been preferred in the Sonth, as in
dicating a desire on my part, TO let in aboli-
ton interlopers. The Republicans of Kan
sas have drawn an entirely different conclu-
sion, namely that designed. in this man
ner; TO bring many thousands Ut Missourians
into the territory. to decide the contest"
The President has by proclamation de-
clared treaty o. friendship and commerce
between the United States and Persia, ofbind-
ing force. La addition TO an ambassador or
diplomatic agent near each government, it
provides for Persian consuls ut Washington.
New York and New Orleans. and L. $. Con-
| suls at Teheran. Bender. Bushire and Zaris.
