INTERESTING TO FAMILIES.

The following extract from New York paper
cannot fan to be interesting. In referring to 5&
the receipts of L cas- IN this country for one Tl&
year up 10 Sth uImo, II says they will DO H.
oc,Gn pounds short Of the imports of the year end
ing June -, 1856, and that
The advance III black teas. OOlOngs, since last
DeceInber, has been fifteen cents per pound and
Young Hyson Teas, of low and medium grades,
have experienced an advance Of one hundred per
cont. over last seasons closing prices.
1t will thus he that the strong and rapid
advance IN the tea mar has been the result of h
short supply and active demand hut when II is con-
sldered that We may hear at any moment of the en-
tire suspension of shipments at Shanghai, and, in
fact, that, sufficient force from England
aIrves at the seat of war; all 1--WE ports of entry in
IT would not be surprising to see Teas at n much
higher figure than they have yet attained"
In view OF these facts, We hold out very great in
ducements for families TO lay in their supplies of

Letting the Cat Out Of the Bag.

Ever since Col. FoRNEY's Demo
cratic friends in Pennsylvania turned
their backs so ungratefully upon him
in his endeavors to attain U. S.
Senatorship from that State, he has
been kicking in the traces" The
President, once the Colonel'swarmest
friend, is said to be daily growing cool
and indifferent toward him, and the
TRANSPORTATION, once the property of
Col. BoRNEY, and which, underhis con.
troll, did excellent servicein securing
the election Of Buchanan, lately pub
liShed an article dcnouncing him in
bitter terms. The result of this is
disSenSion among the Pennsylvania
Democracy, and the establishment of
a new paper by the Colonel, called Tile
Press, to vindicate himself and po-
sition. A paper friendly to the Col
onel, abiding recently to the injustice
done him, remarks: a
aj"He unquestionably contributed
more towardssMr, Bucbanan's cleo
ton than any other man living, In
deed, some think the contest in Penn
sylvania would have been doubtful
had it not been for the active exercise
Of his talents and influence"
Another Democratic Journal, of
contrary views, in commenting on
the above, remarks /: .N.a
"That is correct. If Forney had
not bought the Irish, and bribed the
Dutch, in Philadelphia, and snug
gled in several thousand illegal votos,
Mr.. Buchanan never would have been
elected. But the colonel should'not
complain those who do such very
dirty work, are the very men to get
cheated by>their masters"
This is frank, surely, but it looks
to us like, the basest kind of ingrat-
itude. Such exhibitions conflict
strongly with the merits of the adage
Of "honor among thieves"
Freeman's champion., 1857-08-27
Shawnee Kanzas Lands.

Late intelligence from Washing
ton says'that the Shawnee, Kanzas
Indians, having madetheir selections
and locations of the 100000 acres,
in accordance with the terms Of the
treaty between them and the United
States nothing now remains but the
approval Of the selections by the Pres
ident, before theresidue of the Shaw
nee lands will be opened to sale and
pre-emption. In view Of this condi-
tion OF things, the commissioner of
the general land Office will shortly
issue instructions to the surveyor
general of Kanzas, to approve the
platS and surveys, and transmit them
to the propcrland Office. Q The claims
of the white settlers who have already
gone upon those lands will not be
recognized,-& 81. Louis Democart, llh
