In looking at the changes which one short

In looking at the changes which one short month has wrought in the aspect of the world men may learn a wise distrust of their own judgement and calculations. It is but the other day that England's sceptre as the mon- arch of European civilization seemed broken :; she began to be regarded as second or third rate power people shook their heads with commisseration when they read of her exhaust ing wars and her increasing debt politicians ike Gushing and Buchanan presumed upon her embarrassmcnts and talked insolently of her prctensions on the sea To-day she is agail, at the head of the powers of the world |; she has anchored all her colonies to her loins by the Atlantic Cable; she is at peace with the whole world she is easy in her finances 1; she sees new markets of incalculable value opening to her 1; she possesses the secret which must give her the choice of the carrying trade for the world, and she is blessed with a con stitutional government which satisfies her peo- pie, ai.d which is constantly enlarging their privileges and increasing their means of hap piness It is safe to say that this is the Au- gustan age of the British empire, and that at no period of her history had her people so much reason as now to be proud of being Ell glishmen. How must the heart of their Queen have swelled as she lifted Ter eyes from the petty symbols of inhumanity and barbarism, to which she was invited at Cherbourg, to survey the august spectacle of England's ex- paudmg greatness, which seemed suddenly to greet the. 'banner of St. George from every quarter of the globe She could we'll afford to smile at the toys with which her ambitious neighbor occupied his thoughts, holding in her hands, as she did, the sceptre of human ciyili. zation. .-Erensng Post

KANsAs.-The New Haven Journal and Courier o Thursday, publishes the following Letter from Charles B. Lines:
 MISSOURI RIVER, Aug: IS, '5s.
 Messrs. EDITORS Being on my way East from our Kansas home, it is pertinent and in teresting to note some of the striking con trasts between the surrounding circumstances no,c and just two years ago this month. Then all Kansas was in a tumult of excitement, ter. TOT reigncd universal, every man was sin arms," and conflict fierce and deadly con stantly threatened From the borders of Mis-. souri far into the interior, rrfiausm was or ganizing itself, for tie purpose of overwheln,- ing our devoted territory by their hordcs oi desperadoes. Locomotion, with any degree of safety, was out of the question. My own transit, in company with friend, at that time, from Lawrence to Leavenworth, was attended with imminent peril. No communication ex. sted or was permitted between the two cities, by any of the ordinary means, and our only chance of reaching the River was by seclu- gage wagons. Arriving at Leavcnworth, all business was suspended, most of the Free State men gone, and the few remaining talked in whisper. and were every hour expecting to be driven CT, as they actually were the mex, week, leaving their stores of goods behind, a prey to their oppressors Arriving at the boat, we met with squads of the ruffians, arm ed to the teeth, who. accompanied us to Wy andott, their principal rendezvous, and we es capped any special notice from them, as we sup posed, on account of our extremely shabby personal appearance. On the river, incidents were constantly occurring which served to H. lustrate the wide spread and deeply rooted ha tired toward the free settlers of Kansas, which had possession of the Missourians and theil allies, seeking for vengeance. In calm con versation with one of the prominent Lcaven worth merchants, few days since, he detail ed some of the outrages to which he was per sonally subjected in that memorable month o August l856-but these things need not now be repeated they have become matters ol history, and will go down to coming genera tions as developments of civil liberty and per sonal freedom in the United States in the 18th century, under the auspices of Democratic administration of the Government. Passing ] through the same sections now, how changed the scene The defenders of liberty stood nrmly for the right, determined to conquer ol die Tn the struggle. They have cononered- peace reigns. The cohorts of slavery are van quished freedom is in the ascendant-and you may be assured the propagandists vii merer martial themselves for another simila, fight. Two years ago, D. R. Atchinsoa and i Stringfellow were my fellow-passcngers a short distance down the river. Then they were tht observed of all observers. They were the ter TOT, to some extent, of the timid, and tn, master spirits of the whole campaign agains

Litchfeld, Conn.,, Thursday, Sept. 2. ls5s

EB@ citizens were taken somewhat by surprise on Monday to learn that an injunction had, the Saturday preuious, been served on the Litchfela Bank, especially as two of the Bank Commissioners had only ten days before, on full examination of its airs, pronounced the institution in 'good con dition." MT. Moves, who came with the officer who served the injunction is undoubtedly excellent Commissioner who seeks to do his duty, but We are somewhat surprised, we confess, that, if the bank was to be enjoined, it should not have been done months ago. when its affairs generally supposed to be in less favorable condition than at present.
 A hearing is to be had before Judge Ellsworth at Hartford to day Wednesday, when the officers of the Bank confident the injunction will be removed. We hope, at any rate such an exhibition of its af fairs will be made to set the public mind at rest in relation to it's soundness. If, as the New Haven pers to insinuate it shall prove to be bogus concern let the facts all out that the public On the contrary. if the management has been prop CT, and the bank is on good foundation let the animation and action now be such to satisfy the public beyond suspicion, of it solvency.
 N. T.. We are assured that Mir. Moves, in procur- ing this injunction, has acted on his own responsi bility, without consulting MT. Noble, who made a thorough examination of the affairs of the Bank week before last It certainly seems if Mr. Moves had acted somewhat impulsively. We wait with some anxiety the result of the application for per petual injunction. Meantime, let sacrifice penny on the bills of the Bank
 P s. Since writing the above, we have received the following-the statement of tic Cashier being made under oath:
 The paper served on the Etchfeld Bank, called an injunction, contains tissue of alsehoods too disgrace full to pass unnotced In the language of the Regis ter, we hope the 'gulty parties will brought to justice. The motives inducing the application will be made public in due time. Below will be found statement of the condition of the bank at the pres ent time.

How touching the tribute of the Hon. T. H. Ben ton to his mothers influence:
 sMy mother asked me never to use tobacco, and have never touched it from that time to the pre- sent day; she asked me not to game, and have never gamed, and I cannot tell who is winning and who is losing in games that can be played She ad- mopished me, too. against hard drinking and what ever capacity for endurance may have at present, and whatever usefulness may attain in life, at tribute to having complied with her pious and cor rect wishes.s- When, was seven years of age, she asked me not to drink, aud then made resolution of total atstinenee, at a time when was the sole constituent smeinber of my own body, and that have adhered to it through all time, owe to my mother. 7

 The Ladies' Home Magazine by T. S. Arthur and Miss Townsend is constantly gaining in public favor. Frank Leslie needs no praising.

us. Where are they now Atchinson is thoroughly used up, pitied by all good men, and despised by everybody. His name is rarely mentioned. The same is true of most of the subalterns who acted under him, from Sheriff Jones to the renowned Captain of the Kickapoo Rangers" as once heard Atch- illson characterize that dignitary. Now you may travel anywhere, and utter your senti- ments with the utmost eedom, and it is rare that any one is found to say word in defence of slavery. Now the cities and towns of Kan sas are quietly, yet actively, laying the foun- datlon for the future State. C Sharp's Rifles" and " Revolvers" are at discount; the con test is ended Kansas is forerer FREE.
 Onr election, as you have seen, was ex- tremeIy one-s;ded, the more so than any one previous, because on this occasion we undoubt- edly had fair play We think the sentiments of the people of Kansas on the slavery ques. ton will be understood hereafter, and that now we shall be permitted to attend to our own affairs in OHr own way, with none to mo- lest or make us afraid.
 Among the many noticeable changes which two years have made upon this river, the char acter Of the passengers upon the boats is by no means the least Run-drinking, gambling and profanity then characterized the crowd now the mass are as orderly and well behaved as those upon our eastern rivers. while few only keep up the old practices.
 The effect upon the interests of religion and morals which is to result from the settlement of Kansas. cannot yet be estimated. If the religious men and women who travel through this Egyptian region in consequence of their connection with Kansas, ever begin to let their light shine as they ought, and make their in fuence felt as they may. it will tell upon the future of this whole country more cffeetually than dozen agencies of the Home Missiona- y Society sent here for that special purpose. Now that our political contest is ended, the moral results of the enterprise will loom up, and augment in importance as the months and years roll away. Let God be praised who doeth all things we'll. 0. B. l..

JoKE.-A correspondent of the New Haven Pal ladum, writing from Woodbury, says that ancient town can boast of 'ony four lawyers and is conss- quenty ia very quiet place." If all the cases brot to our Courts by the very respectable lawyers of Woodbury were struck from the docket, there would be some reduction in the cases, we imagine. Never theless Woodbmy is one of the very loveest of the beautiful villages in Htchfeld County. Its long av- enue of two miles more with shade trees and neat residences and public buildings is the admiration of every traveller; and its inhabitants are among the most enlightened and enterprising in the State of Connecticut, and would be if they had even less than l" four lawyers" /
