FLOUR AND GRAIN AT THE WEST
There is much inquiry in regard to the
stock of -four and grain at the West, and
on this point the New York Courier con
denses the following from private letter
to leading house or New York city, dated
Chicago, March 21:
There are stored at Chicago 1000 bar
rels of -four, 100000 bushels wheat, $50,
900 bushels corn and 144,OoO bushels
oats. At Milwaukee $4,000 barrels flour
and $4,000 bushels wheat. At Kenosh
between two or three hundred thousand
bushels wheat, and at Recine about the
same quantity. The writer also expresses
the opinion tkat half the wheat crop of
Wisconsin is not yet marketed, while the
quantity in Illinois is much larger than is
generaley stated. At Chicago corn was ia
ken at 43@44c. free on board in April and
May, 45c. fof June, and soc. for July. The
crop ofwheat on the ground is also said by
the same authority to be very promising.

An Incident for Mrs. StOWe..
Liberty or Death.3

The Nashville Banner, of March Goth,
contains the following:
"The partiulars of one of the most unac-
countable sue des have Just come to our
knowledge. Two servents of Mr.. Jones,
proprietor of Union Hall, in this city, one
yellow man named Levi, and the other
black, named Allen, ran away on Sunday
night last 1t appears that they intended
TO get on the night train for Chattanooga,
but arrived q moment too late They took
the track on foot and proceeded a few
miles, secreting themselves until Monday
night in q thicket. They then appeared
at Antioch when the night train came
along, and the yellow man purchased tick
cts for himself and seryant for Chattanoo-
ga. The trick was not detected Levi
passed as white man, and took his sup
per with the other passengers. ordering food
for his servant at side table. The atten-
ton of Mr.. Charles Fox, merchant of this
city, who was on board, on his way TO
New York, was attracted to Levi, and af-
ter little scrutiny, he recognized him,
though disguised in fine suit of clothes.
Mr.. Fox, on Tuesday morning, before reach
ing Chattanooga, questioned Levi, and be-
coming satisfied he was running away, col
Jared him and intimated that he was
prisoner. Levi was wrapped in blank, t.
and he managed to draw pistol from his
breast without the movement being no
ticed, and turning the muzzle upon his
abdomen, fired and fell on his seat, Mr..
Fox and other passengers fled in an oppo-
site direction, under the impression that
he was firing at them, and when they turn
ed back he had drawn bowieknife and cut
his throat, and was corpse"
Levi was an excellent servant always
obedient and tractable, and unusually intel
igent," and thinks he would not have left
his. master without some strong induce
mcnts.
So we think, but the inducements
were merely LIBERTY.

The Rat Soup Epidemic.-Re.
port of the Committee of the
Board of Health.

We find the official report of the Com
mittee on the plague at the National -Ho-
tel, Washington, in the correspondence of
the Baltimore Sun. The Committee took
Z tho testimony, of Drs. Hall and Boyle
We quote the paragraphs of interest from
the report.
"This disease, according to Dr.. Boyle,
was different from any usual form of diar-
rhea. Both of these physicians assure US
that the attack came on suddenly, gener-
ally early in the morning: and the opera
tions were frequent and thin, and frothy, or
yeasty. According to DR.. Hall, vomiting
occurred when diarrhoea was checked, and
vice versa. The thirst was usually great,
and the pati-nts often desired acid drinks.
Both of these physicians further testify that
the disease was never cured at once, but
continued to return at intervals for con-
siderable length of time.
Both physicians concur in regarding the
disease as one of "blood poison" produced
by the inhalation of poisonous miasm,
generated by animal and vegetable decom-
position, which entered the hotel through
the sewer connecting with the Sixth street
sewer.
As further corroboration of this fact,
we are assured that a peculiar and often
sive odor pervaded the premises, ard which
was more decided in the halls than in the
water closets. This odor caused one of
the physicians to become nauseated.
Mr.. ]. T. Feny, sewer builder, testifes
that che examined the cellar of the hotel
and found an opening in the southwest
corner connecting with the sewer leading
into the street. through which was contin-
tally passing current of feliaa gas, which
nearly extipguished candle held over the
opening"
The Committee sought in vain for eyi-
deaee of the water or food having been
poisoned by arsnic or other mineral sub
stance. Drs. Hall and Boyle both state
that they drank the water. DR.. Hall says
"freely, without being effected by it."
A. +. Gross the stewart, assures US that
the water-tank is built of brick, and lined
with slate, completely closed, so that rat
could notpossibly have entered the tank.
Your Committee would especially call
attention to the fact that such sewers as
have had the stencil traps fixed at the Open
rings, have no means of ventilation, and
that unless the proper authorities at once
proceed to remedy this serious omission by
hues communicating with proper chimneys
or by some other means, we may reasona-
bly, anticipate q return of the epidemic,
and should this take place in the summer
season the consequences may be vastly
more serious than we have already witness

may nestle so fondly in a mothers arms, and

Tie fsypOcricy Of the Leaders OF
Free State Mem i'm Kansas,

In the Leavenworth (Kansas) Times one OF
the strongest kind of black republican papers, of
the 25th ult, we find the folollowing articles.
The paper is edited by one Robert Crozier, the
same gentleman that our neghbor puffed so full
somely short time since. We desire every per-
son to give them careful readngand then ask
hmselfthe following question: Do the leaders
Of the pretended Free State men desire Kansas
TO be Free StGte? The following articles
show in unmistakable language that they do
not
Owing to the outside pressure, the pro. slav
cry men of Kansas have come to the conclusion
that it would be well enough to submit their
constitution to the people for ratification, before
making application to Congress for admission
under it. Ifthey should do So and the Free
State men vote thereon, it will scarcely be pre- .
sented to Congress at tsnext session."
"One good effect of the Topeka Convention is
already visible, 1t has compelled the opposite
party to abandon the scheme OF presenting a
constitution to Congress without being ratified
by vote OF the people. The next best thing
for them to do, is to let the whole thing go by
default for the present and take new start at
future time" ...

base hypocricy can be seen in every line of the

II we were disposed to believe in predestina-
rianIsm, We should point out as samples Of its
verify, the remarkable fatality which has attend
ed our Presidents, for several years past.
BY severe struggling and hard electioneering,
the Democrats have been beaten in several pres
identisl contests; but when our sdversaries
were the lOudest in their exultations for sue
cess, and confident of carrying out their pro-
jects and designs, the hand of Providence ap-
pears to have frustrated all their schemes in a
sudden and unexpected manner. Thus, when
they thought that the Bank Bill was secure, on
the election of Gen. Harrison, death intefposed
his stern fiat, shortly after his Inauguration and
his successor could not conscientiously sign the
charter. Gen. Taylor, also, had hardly been
installed in power when he departed to another
world; and Millard Fillmore, who was permit
ted to live, signed the Fugitive Slave Law"
and showed himself on that topic, safe and
national man.
Latterly we see Mr.. Buchanan, whose age is
above either Harrison or Taylor's, escaping a
diabolical plot to poison him, almost by mira
ole,--for many have died by taking the poison
intended for him, while he survives to admins
ter the laws on Democratic principles
These facts stare us in the face, and, if there
is any believer in predestnarianism, he must
be convinced that God Almighty watches over
our Republic in an especial manner, by fayoring
Democratic legislation.
