The TERN AUTHoREss.--A Tery pert Letter
MEssRs. EDrToRs: Will you permit constant
reader" of your, in general, carefully considered
English, to enquire who is the author of the
word aWthOress?
am an advocate for domestic manufactures,
with or without governmental protection" and
| am willing that new words should be made as
fast as the necessities of our language call for
them; but am not willing that, in this particu-
lar branch of home industry, the supply should
precede the demand.
Do we want GWthOreSs in our vocabulary
think not Some people make use Of il; hut,
saving your presence, l think it comes within
the category of pretty writing" or the precise
writing on which one of your correspondents
have lately commented.
Author signifies one who makes or creates;
and, as applied to literature, one who writes q
poem, an article or book. There is no gender
implied in the word. 1t does not signify man
who writes; it means, simply, icriter. So,
also, poet signifies one who writes poetry, with
out any intimatiOn of sex Yet Poete&S has be-
come quite common; GUthOTess not uncommon,
and diFectress and mGnGgeTeSs are coming along
as rapidly ''as could be expected"
Now, gentlemen, | insist on it, that men of
position in letters, like the editors of the New
York EvESING PosT, should take stand on this
subject, one way or the other. AMt Cesar, and
nuilus Adhere to tho good old English, poet,
author, &C.; or, ''go the whole figure" and let
us have pOetess, aUtsOFess, dirsctTess, manager
esq., not only but also 1oritereSS, talEereSs, trG-
reLLeress, ieaLEeresa singeresS, and so on. until
every occupation in which men and women are
accustomed to engage are duly ticketed with an

KANSAS CITY. Missouri.

December, 18th, 1856.
Ma. W. T. TnoMPsoN-Dear Sir have
been back from Georgia four or FIVE days, and
am sorry to say that the Georgia Colony is en-
tirely broken up, and that a very great majority
of the emigrants which composed ithaye desert
and returned home.
Col. E. NJ. MCGEE and myself, raised in Georgia,
for the above mentioned colony, twenty-five
hundred dollars, for which the contributors re-
ceived and now hold our receipts. Col, MCGEE,
as wrote you before, returned to Kansas before
did and brought with him all the money which
had been raised.
If there is any money in the hands of the As
ISOLATION for our emigTants, to ask satisfactory
security in Georgia for me, and forward the
amount to me at this place, in the form of .
check on New York, Immediately. Write to me
any how about it, or shall have TO take the
stump in Missouri, to help them through the
winter. Peace reigns; but it IS in my humble
opinion, dreadful one to the South. l shall
write to the. Association in Augusta also. If
you think proper you may publish this letter,
giving the lie as it does to all inSinuatons against
Col. MaGee's character.
am, sir, with respect,
Your Obedient servant

Address OF n. PESHINcToN Eso.-We have
received copy of the address delivered by this
gentleman before the Belmont county agricul-
tural society last fall. We have read it with
much interest aud profit. We extract the fol-
lowing from among several excellent suggestions
about agricultural improvement
Let us looka little closer into the character
and value of our recources in this old county
of Belmont and see in what our power and
strength consists. We have $50 81. miles Of
territory with population now of IS, 900. We
have about s. 900 dwellings. and $4,000 cultiTa-
ted farms-36O0 farmers 1874. 664 acres of real
estate, valued for taxation At $40, 100000. The
value of our exports viii amount per annum TO
more than one half million of dollars We have
an inexhauStahIe and varied soil adapted to all
kinds of grain and one of the most favorable To-
cations in all the West for the endless variety
OF fruit-especialy the apple and the pear;
Added to all this coal vein of great extent and
now accessible By railway, will in the next ten
wears be scource Of great revenue and VIII
constantly increase. We have not less than
forty miles in length of coal vein that will be
reached by railroad and the entire West will
soon be dependent upon us for supply
would call your attention particularly to the
importance of planting at once, if you have not
already the choicest fruit And in your Selec-
is no fruit that will pay larger per cent if prop
erly cultivated If there was upon every farm
a well selected orchard the revenue from this
scou-ee alone would be greater, than the entire
wheat crops of the county. The revenue from
the State of Ohio derived from her exports is
forty millions per annum-and that Will soon
be increased to sixty. The revenue derived
from wool alone in this county, is on an average
about 100000 and that can be doubled without
doubling the quantity of sheep. There need be
no fear but that this article will command q
good price for years To come. Six bbIs. of wool
is the average quantity for each man and woman
and child in the United States, and this will re-
ouire 100, 600, 900 bis. Ofthis amount we on
" grow about 25.OOU,oo0 milliOn-leaving al
most 1OO,OOO,OOO to be bought of foreign ma
tons.
1t has been ascertained by actual experiment
that the following arc the result Of feeding diff
ferent kinds of roots and grain to produce wool:

BESToS ON FREE LABOR HoAEs.-The ex-Sen-

was much Impressed with the factory tOwnsIand
particularly with the comfortable style in which

They live in large, stately, elegant houses.

u paTlor in Washington. Your ring the bell and
wait till the girl comes and opens it You are
shown into a parlor, where you sec the same
kind of furniture as you will find in a Congress
mans boarding house in Washington city. You
sit down and inquire for whom you went 1t
was near dinner hour when went up to one of
these houses, and carried my curiosity so far
rs ask the mistress of the house to take me into
the cooking department and show me how she
cooked. [Laughter.l She said she was taken
unawares and was not prepared for 1t. said
that that was exactly the thing wanted; want
ed To see it as it was every day. Without more
ado she opened the door and led me in, and there
was cooking going on in room so neat that
lady might sit there and carry on her sewing
or ornamental work. This was the condition
in which l found the houses of the operatives;
and to all these comforts they add the leisure to
read and cultivate the mind. Idwell upon that,
fellow citizens, as one of the circumstances
which struck me in my visit to New England.

-DUrx OF CoxGREss.-The Washington Union
copies some remarks from Lancaster paper,
declaring that no person has any authority to
speak for Mr.. Buchanan, in regard to the policy
of his administration, and adds the following:
in connection with the foregoing, we have
the approval of Mr.. Buchanan, in saying that
the following extract, from the Southside Demo
Graf, states correctly his position
AS for Kansas, Mr.. Buchanan has never ex-
pressed an opinion, either one way or the other,
in favor of its coming in as free or slave
State He has prudently conceived that ii is a
matter with which he has nothing to do, and
with which he does not mean to NEEDLE. 1t is
a question exclusively with the people of the
Territory, with whom he is content to leave it
for solution. He will see to it that the princi-
piles of the Nebraska law are carried out, in let
ter and spirit impartially and without fear, IA

disposed of to our citizens. As some OF our
contemporaries may refuse topubiish it, on ac-
count of its impudent arraignment OF the peo-

have printed an extra number of the document,
that It may be reed by all who feel an interest
in our city, and to hold up its author to the hon.

KISS OR Fronr,-An exchange tells story of

KISS OR FIGnT.-An exchange tells story of
a country party thus:
A stalwart young rustic, who was known as
a formidable operator in 'frec fight" had
just married blooming and beautiful country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and the twain
were at a party where a number of young
folks of both sexes were enjoying themselves in
the good old-fashioned pawn-playing style Ev-
cry girl in the room was called out and kissed
except Mrs. B., the beautiful young bride afOre-
said, and although there was not a youngster
present who was not dying to taste her lips,
they were restrained by the presence of her
herculean husband, who stood regarding the
party with a look of sullen Dissatisfaction
They mistoOk his anger, however, for, suddenly
rolling up his sleeves, he stepped into the mid
die of the room, and, in tone of voice that at
once secured marked attention, said:
"Gentlemen, have been noticing how things
have been working here for some time and
amt half satisfied. don't want to raise fuss,
but" Whats the matter, JOhn6 inquired
half dozen voices. "What do you mean?
Have we done any thing to hurt your feelings"
Eyes, you have; all of you have hurt my feel
ings, and I've got just this to say about it {:
Here's every gal in the room been kissed nigh
" nigh dozen times apiece, and there's my
wife, who consider as likely as any of EN-, has
not had single one tonight; and just tell you
now, if she don't get as many kisses the balance
of the time as any gal in the room, the man that
Sights her has got me to tight-that'S all. Now
go ahead with your plays!" If Mrs. b was
sighted during the balance OF the evening we
did not know it As for ourselves, we know
that John had no fault to find with US individu-
ally, for any neglect on our part

THE Mm1IoNA1RE NEeRo SMsER-Among the
celebrities of New York is E p Christy, the.
negro minstrel, who, having made princely for
tune out Of burnt cork and Ethiopian melodies,
now lives the life Of wealthy New Yorker
He recently made great dash in the streets with
a magnificent sleigh, which attracted unusual
attention, from its splendor and the beauty Of
the prancing stud of snow white horses to which
it was attached, In the summer he drives out
in an elegant carriage, behind two splendid bays,
with fine large coach dog running under the
carriage. He is quite connoissenr in hOrsefesh,
and in driving out alternates between his bay
and white horses. In his promenade he is ac-
companied by a large bull terrier, a splendid
specimen of the canine race. His wealth Is
prodigious, and as he has been economical and
labOrious while earning it. he feels authorised to
spend it freely He may be frequently seen in
the dress circle of the italian Opera, and is al
ways the observed of all observers.
