We have never written anything ni.h

election. We have eheari remarks vari-
Gus and contradictory as mems minds, but
have thought it best to lay lew till abund-
ance of time had elapsed to give final

which we, rely, that Gov. Walker has
thrown out the fraudulent precinct OF

tion with his reasons. sc. This gives

matter is now decided as 10 the destiny OF
Kansas-that of a Free STATE, and the
influence of the result will be felt by US.

certainly be expected that will give new
impetus to all kinds of trade-ihe waste

School-House.

We have an article this week on the
necessity of the erection of school house,
and we hope the subject may receive the
attention il deserves. II is absolutely me-
cessary to build one immediately. There
is no place for public worship, no place for
our town meetings, singing schools, deba-
ting clubs, or any thing else which are ne
cessary to pass the many long winter
evenings. SO near Us. We need many
things. but fhis stands second TO none.
z We understand Mr.. McGEE, gentle
man from New York, who comes highly
recommended. has secured of Mr. GAY
LORD, the brick Office on Aiehison street. to
commence school immediately for the time
being. He designs locating himself per-
manently. and endeavor to build up an in.
stitution of highe. grade as our place
advances. But for the accommodation of
our present necessities. he expects 10 build
a common house for the purpose. We are
sure our citizens will lend him a helping
hand, in doing which. the interests of ey-
cry one and of the place will be advanced
more sts q any other way. We have heard
many In the states talk of coming west
with but one serious difficulty in the way,
which was The destitution of educational
privileges for their children. They feel a
great desire to emigraie where they may
get them homes cheaply, but when the
thought arises cf a probability for the neg
lect of menial culture, the idea vanishes
and they remain. When we can proclaim
to them that this objection IS renedied .ve
may expect an increase of substantial i'm
migration. Let us. then. here. encourage
the building up Of a high-toDed seminary oil
learning, the foundation for which we will
at once lay. By erecting a comfortable
common scheol-house.

TIE NORTH AND THE SoUrH-That most ell
oquent of all Southerners, as think, Mr.. Prem
tiss of Miss, vas addressing a 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
color, when there rose up on the vision Of the
assembly in the open air, a horseman ofnngnih-
cent proportions; and Just at the moment Of
hushed attention, when the voice Of Prentiss
had ceased, and the applause was about TO break
forth, the horseman exclaimed, Oh the
North" The curse was so much in unison with
the habitual feeling Of a Mississippi audience,
that il uuenched their enthusiasm, and nothing
but respect for the speaker kept the crowd from
auplauding the horsemRn. Prentiss turned bis
lame foot around and said, "MajOr Moody, will
YOU rein in that steed moment" He assent
ed. Said he, "Major, the horse on which you sit
came from Upper Missouri; the saddle that sur
mounts him came from Trenton, N. J.; the hat
on your head was made at Daubury, Conn; the
boots you wear came from Lynn, Mass; the lin

His father, mother, and eldest brother had
been hung two days before by band of tories
under the command of the prisoner. Il was .
case of brutal murder-for the boys unofending
parents were merely wings, who had never taken
any active part against the tories, but had only
sheltered some friends Of their own way Of think
ing. The evidence was clear and conclusive
that they were hung by order of the rufiaA pris-
oner. The boys evidence was corrObSrated by
that of slave who had escaped and witnessed
the execution of his master and mistress from
clump Of jumpers. There was no defencs, and
q verdict Of guilty with q sentence Of execution
ct shutdown was brought in.
"Mercy! mercy! as you may wish it foryour-
self, General Marionn' screamed the miserable
wretch.
Contaminate not my name by mentioning
IT," said Marion, in q loud voice. d" Atsundown
you die! Only two minutes more Of your life
remains fer you. Look your last upon the tree
tops, and the all but faded sun, and make your
peace with God. Take him away, men, and throw
the moose over one of the upper branches Of
yonder black oak. When the gun hres, string
him up.'
They dragged the miscreant away, screaming
with terror, and the roosting birds rose from their
lairs, mingling their discordant cries with the
yell of the now short-liVed wretch. The rope
was thrown over the branches, and the moose
placed around his neck. The sun went down, q
gun was fred, and up he went dangling in the
air! A few struggles of body, and horrid con-
tortions of countenancs, and then all was over.

the General, ga specimen of the justice of MA

Before the sun had fairly risen the next NOR

with Greene, taking with himself two hundred
picked men to surprise British outpost at Par

An American officer and his guide had just
crossed the Santee in safety, and reached the
lower bank. It wanted about two hours Of sun
set, and everything around looked beautiful and
blooming, though wild. Here lay green sa-
Tannah skirted by gloomy swamp on one side
ON the other thick Forest of black jack, per-
'immOn trees and lofty oaks. Beneath them
rolled the sluggish Santee, confined to a narrow
channel, for the season was dry. A boatman lin

cannot be too cautious. TGrleton has spies and

Hcled the officer some distance from the bank
where no one could approach them, and said in

You will take the main road which you see
before you, running through the woods. Follow
il ssme three quarters Of mile, and you will
come to pond. About a hundred yards further
