The Seige of Lawrence.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
der date OF Qaindora, Kahsas, July 25th,

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune,
Under date OF Qaindora, Kahsas, July 25th,
says:
ssThe scge Of Lawrence progresses swim
mingIy. Walker is still there, keeping him
self stimulated, and ready to blow the first
Watcr-cart that appears in Massachusetts
street 'furdcr'! The general impression is
that his Excellency would give a wheel-bar-
row full of Mississippi bonds to be safe
back in I,eaycnw orth, or that he would hy-
pothecate an equal amount, any day Of the
Week, for good excuse ID 90 back. The
soldiers are highly delighted with tile posi-
ton of affairs and are only afraid that the
people of Lawrence. won't. be traitorous
enough to keep them there. They look up
on the Utah expedition with sentiment OF
unfeisned horror, and anything which de-
tains them in Kansas or postpones their de-
parture beyond the time when it would be
practicable to cross the plains. is regarded
a special providence. What Walker means
by staying at Lawrence, am unableto con-
ceive. He will not undertake to collect the
bogus taxes, until cooler weather. at any
rate. He says they will not be collected at
all. He has stated this since the foray upon
Lawrence. The Free State men feel much
obliged to him for the in!crlnatitn They
arc too poor to pay taxes, and it gratlties
them to learn that the salaries of their Mis-
souri, rulers will not be wrung from them by
Gov. w., at present."

Literary labor is undervalued, chiefly be-
cause the tools wherewith it is done, are
invisible. If the brain made as much noise
as mill, or if though ght-sowing followed
hard after breaking up pillow, the prudence
Of the mind would at once assert place in
the price current.
If a writer could be so equipped with
wheels and pinions, as entirely to conceal
the man within, like the automaton chess
player, and sentences were recorded by a
wooden, instead of living hand, the ex-
preston Of thought would be at premium, +,
because the clock work would seem to- shew
that it cost something to make it.

HUNGARIAN Grass This new product,
whicE is at present attracting much attention
in Iowa, first came under our notice yester-
day. We saw sample grown by Hr. Slade
(of the firm of Granger and Slade, on the
farm of Nj Hunt, a few miles from the city.
One tuft of six weeks growth measured
twenty-three inches, and another, eight
weeks old, measured thirty inches A few
of the blades Qor the grass had not yet at
tanned maturity,) have very heavy heads.-
The seed is very minute, giving large per
centage in the number Of seeds over any kind
of grass seed. Mr.. s. informs us that his
harvest, the present season, will be over four
tons per acre, The hardy nature of this
plant, and it's immense yield, added to the
fact that stock are exceedingly fond of it,
give it an important position in agriculture,
and render it well worthy the attention OF
our farmers and stock raisers. We predict
for it much celebrity and usefulness. 1t is
being rapidly introduced in our State
Burlington Haaoklye.

A DESERTED C1r7.-The New Orleans
Times represents that city as being even
more desolate than the ''Deserted Villag e.
sung of by Goldsmith. The editor says:
We can look out of our windows at noon
to-day on the once bustling Camp street,
and see no one: Who opens the stores we
know not-but we expect it is done by ma
chinery, as we never find any body in them
1t is our intention to count the number OF
persons in town, and give their names and
addresses in a short paragraph Money is
said to be so awfully scarce, that the man of
business remaining here thinks of dismissing
his collector and hiring a burglar in his
place. We are the only editor left in charge
of the city interests, and we have serious
thoughts of letting. out the streets as fine
pasture grounds for sheep. Anybody in
want of grass will please apply.

very correctly says, that there is no longer
any vitality left in the National Democratic
party, and adds.
81 he truth is, the union Of the Dem ocra-
CIV, North and South at Cincinnati, was a
sham: MIR. Buchanan went into the canvass
as the exponent of sham he went into the
Presidency to carry out sham, and he has
been commercially faithful to sham up to
this writihg.''
wHenry B. Hirst, Of Philadelphia, has
written spome' on Mr.. Buchanan, in which
he invokes him in settling the Kansas and
other diffieulties to-
Arm go forth naked to the fight
We hope Mr.. Buchanan will not do any
such ridiculous thing.

Gov. WIsEs' FORTHCOMING LErrER--We
notice that sort of literary aeeOuchensnt is in
daily expectation by the Richmond papers. 1t
is supposed that Gov. Wise will write a letter
in response to quasi demand made upon him
by his organ, the Enquirer. This IN all proba-
bity he will do: but for what, or with what ex-
pectations, we confess ourselves altogether igno-
rant. The chances of the rash minded Cover
nor have, within the ides of this November,
melted away like the morning dew. There
is not even remote possibility that he will be
anything else before the next Legislature, than
what he is now. Those heretofore disposed to
uphold him, have made haste to drop him since
he has shown himself as he did in the musket
affair. Every one seems to realize that he is
not the man to represent the jealous, yet careful
patriotism of the Old Dominion. The people
everywhere, so far as we can learn, seem dis
posed to let the Governor retire to the shades
of "Only, near Onancock," at the earliest pos
sible moment.
We very much doubt whether Gov. Wise
ever holds another public Office.

Tue FALL OF DELHI AND The News FRoN H.

Tue FALL OF DELHI AND The News From IN
p1G.-In another column of to-day's paper will
be found highly interesting article from the
London Times, giving the theory of that jour
nal, and, we may say, the feeling of the British
people in regard to the fall of Delhi, and its
present and future consequence. ut has bro
ken the neck of the rebellion" says the Times,
and it may be inferred from look at the geo.
graphical relation of Delhi, on the map, to the
rest of India, that this is even so, as the Times
states. There is no doubt now about the fate
Of Lucknow, nor, indeed of the result of the
struggle. England will completely re-conquer
Indin.
Atthis, AnglOsaxons all over the world will re-
ioice, for it is the cause of that Germanic liberty
which from little Saxony, has been spreading
wide and deep these hundreds of years, chiis-
tianizing and humanizing the whole earth.
