KANSAS.

Within the past week we have had i'm
portant news from Kansas. First. we have
news that Gov. Walker had issued procla-
nation against the free State men 81 Law
renee for setting at defiance and opposing
the territorial laws.
Next. we have news of the assembling of
the Topeka free State Convention, at which
il was declared that Kansas should be adj
mittrd INFO the Union under the Topeka
(abolition) constitution, and Lane was di-
rected to organize the people to defend the
ballot boxes at the October elections.
The last news states that Gov. Walker
was marching on the town of Lawrence with
seven companies of L. S. troops, with the
intention of settling matters peaceably if
possible, but forcibly if necessary. The
free State men were gathering at Lawrence
and had held meeting at which it was de-
tcrnined TO resist Walker and his troops.
The Governor was going TO Lawrence for
thepurPose of arresting the city authorities.
From the above it might be inferred that
Walker is not succumbing to abolitionism
Us much as know-nothing papers would have
us believe.

A CORRECT VIEW.

The Columbia IS. c. Times, in an ar
ticle on the Kansas difficulties, takes the
following correct and sensible view of the
matter
THAT she (Kansas) would come into the
Union as Slave State, was always ques-
ton of great doubt to us. That it would
have rcmaiaed 'pro- slavery even had it
effected its admission as such, was still
more doubtful. Its climate forbiddng out
door labor for seven months in the twelve
its distance from the great marts of our
country-its position in the rear of the great
State of Missouri, which with the advan-
tage of position, was TO be its established
competitor for every staple it could pro-
duce-its tortuous and difficult navigation
all. combined to declare that it was not
to be permanently if ever, the abiding
place of our Institutions. But there was
yet another difficulty in the way-the gist
of the whole matter perhaps-and diff
Guilty which we very much fear will always
supervene regardless of isothermal lines
and unfortunate positions, so long as the
South shall content herself with free State
dictation as to her peculiar policy.
The South is unable to colonize. She
has already with her fifteen States, more
territory by over three hundl ed thousand
square miles, than the sixteen Northern
States, which have an excess of population
as compared to US of sir millions. The at
tempt of the South, therefore, to make a
slave State of Kansas was a sort of hot-bed
torc1ng-dnd 1t failed. Colonization can
only be successful when the result of album
dant population. It is the hardy and ad-
venturous with small means and large COM
petition at home who seek such outlets
The Sotherner owning but few slaves was
not SO stupid as to prefer the risks and
difficulties of Kansas to the security of
heme or markets of the South We
repeat, then, that the true cause of our
failure in this instance, was because we
had no erceSs of laboring population, with
which to compete with the free States and
their annual influx of half a million of emf
grants. That other causes have materially
assisted toward this result we have already
admitted-but This after all underLies the
whole stratum, and how under the circum-
stances, we could ever have had well
founded prospects for securing this Terri
tory is, we confess beyond our comprehen-
sion.

HON G. DoBB1N.

We regret to learn from the Fayetteville
Carolinian, that the health of ex-Secretary
Dobbin is very preearious at present. He
is debilitated to an extreme, and so very
weak that it is impossible to leave his
chamber. This is, indeed, painful news.
Although aware of the failing state of Mr.
Dobbin's health for some two or three years
past, we had still cherished the hope that
restoration to the quiet of home and the
enjoyment of his native air, might have
exercised a reviving influenee.-Apart from
the natural pride and interest which the
people of the State necessarily feel in those
leading men whose course has added iustre
to the escutcheon of North Carolina, there
is also, in Mr. D6bbin's case, feeling of
personal affection, of respectful sympathy,
almost peculiar in its character, due less to
the qualities of the head than the heart-a
tribute to the kind gentleman, even more
than to the distinguished wearer OF merited
honors.-W WILMINGTON Journal.

LATEST FOREIGN NEwS.--An arrival

Flour.
In the English Parliament the jewish oath

YOKISG WOMEN TO A PLOw.-A short
time ago the inquiry was made if there
ever was such u thing seen in the United
States as a woman yoked to a pillow in the
place of ii horse. TIE question has been
answered by Virginia editor who states
that hc heard of Il man near Charlotte, y C.,
named Cox [stick George we presume !
who, having no horse, htchcd his wife and
daughter 10 Il pillow for the purpose of
ploughing up his garden. " Unable to pull
it, he in turn became horse and ordered
his wife and daughter to drive. After a
round OF two, he became unruly, and de-
spite the efforts of the fair drivers, ran off
and broke the pillow; for permitting which
he gave the drivers a severe switching.'
We learn that the above is correct ex-
ccpt i'll one or two particulars. George,
like many other men of note, is hcirless, SO
we are informed. The story about here
runs thus: George, after trying the
strength of his wife, come to the wise and
gallant conclusion to pull the pillow himself,
strictly charging his wife not to let him
run away. He went but short distance
in the furrow before he became frightened
at u stump, kicked up, broke out of har-
hess. and ran III and climbed a tree. He
tried to get his wife to coax him down with
Il boHie IF t1ddcr which she refused to do,
whcrcupon, it is said, George used the rod
OF CORE ction.
We know George to be right good fell
low, except when Stintuiaicd, then he plays
the jews-harp well and sings trouble over,
with variations. His main fault (Which we
divulge privately and confidentially,) is
that he hates work like a know -nothing
does the Pope of Rome.

~ The Editor of the Wilmington Jour
nal, who attended the late Commencement
exercises at Davidson College, speaking OF
the proceedings on Thursday, says:
Thursday was, strictly speaking, com
mencement day. After prayer, the first
business was the Inauguration of w. Z.
Kerr, A NJ, as Professor of Chemistry.
Mineralogy and Geology. AS marking the
UNCONVENTIONAL character Of the institution,
we may mention that three questions were
propounded to the new Professor to which
affirmative answers were required. Doyou
believe in the Christian Religion! Do you
believe in the doctrines of the Presbyterian
Church as existing in the United States !!
VIII you teach none others These may
not be the precise words. but they give the
meaning with sufficient accuracy. We
were assured by the students that no at
tempt is made to force any doctrines OF any
particular Church upon them, still we could
see no necessary connection between Chem
istry and Calvinism, and the obligation to
teach no other doctrines than those OF the
Presbyterian Church, struck as a little
strangely, as we saw no necessity for the
mixing of any merely doctrinal points with
the studies under the Professors charge.
This was only the impression made upon Us
which we give without comment. The in
stitution has perfect right to adopt any
rule of the kind it pleases, and no one is de-
ceived, as its Presbyterian character Is
plainly avowed. We merely remark-We
do rot complain"
