The Union tries to comfort Greeley in his
tribulation at the failure of the Syracuse at

The same paper, treating Of the submission
of State constitutions to the people says; -
d" Judge Douglas, as chairman Of the Commit
tee on Territories reported back to the Senate the
celebrated Toombs bill with the provision re-
curing the submission Of the constitution of
Kansas to the people, contemplated by it. ,,yick-
en- ort. Judge Douglas could not then endorse
the principle Of congressional dictation, claiming
the right Of the people TO settle for themselves al
the questions relating to the organization Of their
State government"
Further, it treats of the cargo of the captured
slaves, saying:
we have announced the fact that the Presi-
Dent had concluded a contract with the Ameri-
can Colonization Society for the subsistence and
Instruction Of the Africans recently captured in
the SLAYER now at Charleston, for the period Of
one year after their landing on the African coast
We understand that this disposed of the Africans
has been made with reference TO pure considera-
uons Of economy.
The Law, IL will be seen, makes IL imperative
upon the President TO transport the captives BE-
yOpd The limits of the United States and also
makes 1t imperative upon him to appoint an
agent, or agents, on the coast of Africa for the
sale Keeping and support of the captives, thus
designating the destination to which he shall
send them-half the proceeds Of the captured
SLAYER going into the Treasury of the United
states In liquidation pro tanto of the cost Of
these measures"

THE BATON RouGE CREvAssE.-The Advocate of

Monday says:
In last notice of the crevasse below this CITY,
the piling each side had been advanced TO within
fifty feet of closing, through which the water was
rushing in a rapid current. On Saturday, Colonel
Hebert stopped operations on the main work and
directed zigzag breakwaer to be constructed across
the current above the point for slosing. This was
done with entire success Sunday by means of two
of piling filled in with bags of dirt which served
to check the force Of the current sufficiently for the
png the main levee to be joined near the center
of the crevasse. This plan has ectualy settled the
question to whether the could be mastered
II the weather permits, the bagasse and dirt work
will be completed to-day (Monday) and the new
evee so strengthened to defy future danger. The
water has receded from the larger portion OF the
plantations of Messrs. Mediation.
