~ Charley says in his speeches that
the WORD OF POOR MAN SHOULD
NOT BE REGARDED; BUT THE
WORD OF A NAN LIKE HIMSELF
WHO PAYS $50 TAXES SHOULD
BE TAKEN WITHOUT QUESTION:
Poor men who are in the habit of whip
ping their wives. or whose evidence has
been impeached in Court. would, perhaps,
stand as high in Charley's estimation as
rich men. Sometimes "a fellow feeling

have been received from the city of Mexico.
Comonfort had become dictator, and dis
solved the Congress. The city was in arms.

I.ATER FROM KANSAS.

The Constitution with Slavery Carried.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 25.-Kansas advices TO
the 22d had been received. The constltu-
ton with the slavery provision has oeen
carried by large majority. The returns
were meagre. 1t was reported at Law
renee that letters had been received by the
republicans that body of men had gone
to Lecompton to seize the territorial arms
also, that Gen. Lane had gone to Fort
Scott with the intention to destroy that
place and exterminate the proslavery set
tiers on the Shawnee reservation and carry
the war into Missouri.
General Denver had assumed the Gov
ernorship, and issued an address exhertlng
the people to appeal to the ballot-box for
the settlement of their difficulties.
A bearer of dispatches from the acting
Governor of Kansas passed through here
yesterday for Washington.
The Lawrence convention was to meet
on the Odd to decide whether to vote for

with a view of crushing the State govern
ment. Mr. Stanton is mentioned as can
didate for Governor.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

A Washington correspondent OF the
Pennsylvania explains the Kansas ques-
ton as it stands, and the position of the
President upon it with graphic force and eff
feet; SO that all may comprehend 1t at
glance. We quote SO much of his exposi-
ton as is necessary to show where the
President stands, and why he is found
standing there. That his position is that
of sound patriot and sagacious statesman,
will be comprehended by all appropriated
and really good citizens who reflect on it
as stated in the letter in question as fol-
lows
Tho Presidents policy consists in ad-
hitting Kansas as soon as possible into the
Union, not as a slave State or a free State,
but as an independent State, which may re-
the majority of the people. The moment
Kansas is admitted asa State, the United
States troops will be withdrawn, and if the
free State men, as it is said by the Black
Republicans, have majority of five men
to one, can any one doubt that they will
have it all thoir own way tho moment they
are left to themselves If, then, there is
any disease in Kansas, it will be local, and
not endanger the whole system. The ques-
ton Will no longer be agitated in Congress.
Legislation for the Territories will no long
er interfere with the financial and CONNER
cial wants of the country, and our foreign
relations will have a chance of receiving a
proper share of attention from the Nation
al Legislature. These are the views of our
old statesman President, and thus recon-
mend themselves, like everything else that
emanates from him, by direetness of pur-
pose, facility of execution, and certainty
of success"

LATER.

ST. Louis, Dec. 3O.-The Democrats
advices to 25th ult. says, that civil war is
raging in Bourbon county. Several con-
ficts had occurred, and number of pris-
oners taken on both sides. The United
States Marshal with a posse of 80 men,
demanded the surrender of the Free Sellers.
The demand was answered by rolley OF
musket balls, and the fire was returned.
A fight ensued, which lasted one hour.
The pro- slavery men finally retreated, with
q loss of one killed and two MORALLY woun-
ded. The U. S. Marshal was dangerously
injured.
Gen. Lane is entrenohed on Sugar
Mount, and had determined to fight the
dragons if attacked. A battle is regarded
as inevitable.

AN OUTRAG E.

We have been informed that on Sunday,
the 3lst ult., near Huntsville, in Yadkin
County, one of the most brutal and coward
ly attempts we have ever known was per-
petrated. DIR. VIM. Matthews, it seems,
not yet content with having destroyed the
peace and happiness of his wife and family,
and involved his friends in innumerable
troubles, is bent upon deeds still more dead
ly and demon like. The assassin or muir
derer is always to be feared and stunned,
even when he possesses boldness and cour-
age sufficient to attack his victim upon his
guard and prepared for defence, but he is
never so dangerous as when he chooses the
hour of midnight, or fall upon the object of
his hatred at moment when he is not ex-
pected. 1t appears that DR.. Matthews
chose Sunday, when it was to be expected
that the male servants would most likely be
from home. and his wife perhaps unprotect-
ed, to DO his work Of malice and death up
on the mother and innocent children; but
happily for them, and to save humanity
from a shock the most revolving to nature,
Mr.. John Flynt, an old man who has been
employed to superintend Mrs. Matthews
affairs was present. although he came arm
ed with double barreled shot guns and q
revolver the old gentleman after receiving
two discharges of shot upon his person sue
ceeded in knocking him down with cane,
and finally routing him, sending him flying
like thief or murderer upon his horse,
leaving his hat, driver, buggy and. harness
behind. 1t is also stated that another gen.
tleman, who either happened to be present
or hearing the alarm came up, received a
shot taking effect in his leg.
1t may be necessary to state that the
Doctor and his wife, owing to his vicious
ness, cruel treatment, and threats of vio-
lence, have been separated by an action at
law.
It's thought that he is yet lurking some
whore on the borders of Virginia, and it is
to be feared may yet do mischief unless he
is arrested and imprisoned.- Winston

A WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED BY THE
FATHER.-A despatch from Westfeld,
Mass, December 23d, says:
The wife and children of Albert Stoube
were found this morning murdered in their
house. The children were in the bed with
their threats cut, and Mrs. Stoube was ly-
ing on the floor with her throat cut. They
were supposed to have been murdered a
week ago Monday night.
Mr.. Stoube's clothes were covered with
blood. He was seen to leave the house last
Tuesday, since which time nothing has
been seen of him. The neighbers. suspect
ing something wrong had occurred, climb
ed up the bedroom window, and discovered
the murder. Stoube is native of Switzer-
land, and cigar maker by trade"

THE MORMON EXPEDITION.

The Cincinnati Enquirer contains letter,
dated Fort Reamy, Nov. 11th, giving an
interesting narrative of the progress of the
Utah expedition, from which we make the
following extracts:
1--WE are in want of forage very much.
Our animals have had to subsist on the
grass, and it is already covered with snow.
You need not be surprised if we loose near
ly ali our animals. 1t will require US about
five days more to collect all our trains and
muster Col. McGraw and his men into ser
vice when we will go forward on to the
waters of Green river, in Utah, and there
establish and fortify depot for supplies,
where we will look out for the Mormons.
In the mean time they will continue to an
noy US, taking care, as believe, to keep
out of the reach of our guns.
1.-THE Mormons have the impudence Of
the devil.
They have a mule train of ammunition a
few days behind. and its conductor applied
to Colonel Johnson for passports to go on
into Salt Lake City. The Colonel replied
if there was no war declared against US ne
needed no such thing; if war existed, he
should permit no one to enter the valley,
Unless they find some by-way through the
mountain, this train will be seized in the
name of the United States, and its men held
in custody for trial.
"a chief of the Snake Indians was in our
camp few days since. From him we
learn that all the other Indians in this re-
glen are in league with tho Mormons. He
and his band prefer neutrality. Brigham
Young tried to engage him, but he replied
that, when redskin fight redskin, bluecoat
stand upon the hill and look on; when
bluecoat fight bluecoat, redskin stand up
on the hill and look on; when bluecoat fight
redskin. reskin turn his back-bluecoat is
very great.
Yet think this little band riU gire US
raLuabLe assistance before long.
II expect that Col johnson will, as he
reaches the territory of Utah, declare mar
tial law, and subject the offenders to a trial
by court martial

The Christian Advocate, referring to the
Texas Almanac for 1858, says that Texas,
in proportion to population, is undoubtedly
the wealthiest State in the Union. The
total population is about 100000, and the
assessed value of all property is $780, 94.-
2O5, which is an average Of 1867 to every
man, woman and child, and over 5000 to
every voter.
