ATCHIsoN ALARMED.-Gen. Atchison has

Col. A. Baker, who has been attempting to col.
lect money for border rufian purposes Atchi.
son evidently does not yet despair of success in
Kanzas, although exceedingly indignant at the
apathy of the South. He writes -
81 see that not even thunder and lightning will
arouse the South. | doubt whether an earth
quake-a moral and political earthquake, shaking
the institution of slavery to the earth, and bring
ing ruin upon the whole South, would arouse her
to action. In word, my only hopes now for
KanZas in the border counties of Missouri !;
and, by the by, any one Of ten counties could
mention have expended more money than any one
State of the whole South in this cause. The ex.
ecutive committee for Kanzas territory will have
meeting on the 18th Of this month, for consulta-
ton, when you shall hear from u.s. If the South
would but do half her duty, Kanzas would be a
slave State, and hope we will be able 10 effect
that object, notwithstanding the apathy of the
slave States and the energy of the free States,
and all the open or secret efforts of the officers of
the federal government"
Atchison, it will be recollected, was the prime
mover in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
and correctly avows the real intent of the Ne
braska bill, viz to spread slavery over Kanzas.
Douglas and his followers who fell in with the
project and engineered the bill through Con
gress, were but the tools of Atchson and his
slavery propagandist gang, and the Irrational
Democratic party" at Cincinnati endorsed this
Nebraskaism of Atchison, Douglas, & Co., as the
corner stone Of the party In future.

DRIVING ACROSS RAILROAD TRAcKs.-The
Court of Appeals, in New York, has laid it
down as a rule of law, that an individual, on
approaching railroad track, is bound to look
if a train is approaching. 1t holds that rail-
roads are among the best Improvements of the
age of progress, and their permanent affairs
are not to be postponed to the concerns of in
diyiduals. 1t holds that no one has right
to cross a railroad track without first taking
every precaution for safety. The same reason
that holds railroad companies to the strictest
responsibility to the passengers, imposes upon
every one who crosses the track of the great
public thoroughfares, more than ordinary care
not to jeoparadize the lives of those who are
availing themselves of the benefit of this
great modern improvement in the mode of
travelling

chitecture, " "Stones Of Venice" with Ilustra-
tons drawn by the Author, / vol, 12mo--

The name Of Ruskin, is, alone, sufficient rec.
ommendation, as the author Of any work Of art.
That now before US is intended not for those who
study drawing merely as pretty accomplish
ment, to be attained in lessons of six weeks or
so, and then to be thrown by and forgotten, but
for those who would study it as an art, and would
become accomplished in the practice Of it. For
such, it appears to us to be by far the best work
OF the kind that has fallen under our observation.
1t is book, too, which may be read with great
pleasure and Satisfaction by those who would be-.
come acquainted with the principles Of the art,
and form correct taste in matters connected
with it, but who do not intend ever to study it
practically. 1t is sold byIz. Baker & Co.

Mrs. CUNNINeHAM's SIsTBR.-A cores
pendent of the New York Tribune, writing
from Niagara Falls, says
81 concluded my last. by promising to tell.
you how Sarah, Mrs. Cunningham's eldest
sister, freed herself from her husband, and
swindled his legal heirs out of his property,
That unlucky individual had accumulated an
estate Of some $25, 900 or $50, 900, and this
it was, that induced Sarah Hampstead to in
veigle him into matrimony. Their first visit
to Middletown-that beautiful village on the
bank of the Connecticut-was not a very
pleasant one, and the second was more disa-
greeabe still. Sarah and her sister Ann
soon became impatient, under the restraint
imposed by the social condition of Middle
town, and their eccentricities speedily exclud-
ed them from all association with those to
whom the husband Of the former had intro
duced his wife and sister. On the second
visit, in the Autumn after the marriage, Sarah
was uneasy and disconnected, and finally in
duced her husband to dispose of his property
in Middletown, and take passage with her for
New York, in Il vessel of which he was the
owner. He had been i'll for some time with
wasting sickness, and his mother, who had
become alarmed at his symptoms and his
complaints of increased suffering after taking
certain medicine which his wife was con-
stantly administering, urgently demonstrated
against his going in the vessel. But Sarah,
who was woman OF strong will and deter
mined character, overeame all resistance, and
they departed together, without attendants,
or companions of any kind, except the crew
of the vessel. She was nearly week reach
ing New York, and her husband died on the
passage. Ann had remained in Brooklyn
during the time, having, it was said, certain
domestic arrangements to look after, growing
out of her free and easy mode of life shortly
after the marriage OF her sister. In due time
an heir to the deceased husbands estate was
produced, and Sarah obtained possession of
the property.
Or course, it would be impossible at this
late day, to ascertain the truth in respect to
the suspic ons entertained by the mother.in-
law of Sarah in connection with this transac.
tion but her impression of the guilt oil the
woman amounted to actual conviction. She
persisted in charging the death of her son
upon his wife so long as she lived, and always
maintained that the child which was present.
ed to inherit her sons property, was not the
offspring OF her son and his wife, but the
fruit Of an Illicit amour, in which Ann was
known to have been engaged"

THE PEOPLES MoNEY.-The>expendi Of
the general government for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1857, reached the gross amount of &c.
822,724. The receipts in the same time were
SOS, 724, 1872, or two millions less than the ex-
penditures. The entire civil expenses Of the
government for the year amount to twenty mine
and half millions, while the expenses of the
army are over nineteen millions, and of the navy
twelve and half millions. This for SO small a
force is perfectly monstrous. It is an average
cost of $3.50 per year for every single man in the
army and navy. If such is the cost Of peace
establishment, how formidable would be the ex-
penses of actual war.
