ANOTHER CAVE IN KENTuCKy.--A new
cave has been discovered in Ohio
County, Kentucky, on one of the
branches of Green River, which it is
supposed may be as extensive as the
Mammoth Cave. Five large rooms
have been explored, in one of which
were found books, paper, and in an
other human bones, showing it had
been inhabited by civilized men. A
farther examination of it is soon to be
made.

GREAT INCREASE OF PopULAr1oS.-
While volunteers from all parts of the
country are rapidly filling up this Sec
ton, our home squadron are not idle in
charging the corps of infantry. The
crop is not only abundant and sure, but
it is also of the tallcst kind. A short
time since, a lady Of this town prescn-
ted her husband with a ten-pound
chunk. The next day neighbor went
a half-pound better, and last Saturday
another lady presented the editor with

Save the Bodies.

Last Sunday, at the close ofreligious
services in popular church, man
arose and spake thus: "Parents, do
not direct all your efforts to save the
bodies OF your children; but, attend to
the salvation of their souls. Save the
souls ofyour children, parents. Attend
to this, primarily; for it is of eternal
Importance. Save the souls of your
children -
We say-Parents, save the bodies of
your chllaren PRIMARILY; supply to
them conditions ola sound physiological
existence, and then the salvation of
their souls will be practicable. Put
away from them your pernicious fancy
cookery; give them plain, wholesome
food, such as God designed the bod
les OF children should be made of; send
them out to play freely in the open air,
and nave pure air always in their sleep

REMOVAL OF THE CAP1TOL-The
bill for the temporary removal of the
Capitol to Milwaukee,, which was intro
duced by Mr.. Berg on Monday last,
and ordered to a third reading on Fri
day by seven majority, 80 to 80, was
lost in the Assembly, Saturday, by a
tie vote.
The Assembly was filled with specta-
tors, Saturday morning, in anticipation
of the vote, and there was a full attend
ance Of Members; every member in
town being present and voting except
Mr.. Hawley, of Waukesha, who voted
for the bill on Friday, and purposely
absented himself on Saturday.
When the question was put upon the
passage Of the bill, the vote stood, Yeas
Al, Nays 40. Mr.. Knowlton, of Rock,
moved to reconsider, and made an
earnest speech against the bill. He
was briefly, but effectually answered
by Mr.. Corson and Mr.. Steever. The
motion to reconsider prevailed, by one
majority, SO to SO. Then came the f.
nal struggle, the vote OH the passage of
the bill standing, Yeas Al, Nays Al, q
tie, and so the bill was lost. The re-
suit was received with loud and I'M
seemly demonstrations of delight by
the Madison Lobby, which the Speak
er promptly checked.-lNiE Sentinel

Report Of Investigating Committee.

The report of the Investigating
Committee Of the Lacrosse Railroad
has been submitted to both houses, and
will soon be published, making some
400 pages. The testimony shows that
nearly all the members and officers of
the Legislature of 1856, besides seve-
raj outsiders, received bonds or stock,
and that sss7,ooo were given away to
obtain the passage of the Land Grant
bill. Nearly a million of dollars squan-
dered!
The on1 Y members of the Assembly
who voted for the bill and received no
bonds or stock, were Chas. Burchard,
NJ. NJ. Davis, J. F. Potter and Joshua
Stark. Those of the Senate who voted
the same way on the bill, and to whom
no bonds or stock were ASST gned, were
j. 9. Adams, c. L. Sholes, J. Fitzger-
aid, p. II. Smith and D. orthington.
Chas. Dunn was the only Senator who
did not vote on the bill, and to him no
bonds or stock were assigned. l.. p.
Harvey did not vote on the passage of
the bill, but on leave recorded his vote
in favor of it the next day. No stock
or bonds were assigned to him.
No members voting against the pas
sage of the bill participated in the
spoils. They were Is in number, as
follows: J. A. Barber, Anasa Cobb,
II. II. Giles, Edward Pier, James Suth-
erland and David Taylor, of the SEN
ate, and Levi Alden, Isaac Brown, c..
r. Head, J. II. Knowlton, II. J. Muir
ray, T. Newell and Allen Taylor, of the
Assembly.
Those of the Assembly who did not
vote on the bill, and to whom no stock
or bonds were assigned, were II. c..
Brazelton, II. Catlin, John Childs, John
Day, J. G. Ehinger, ]. NJ. Evans, H.
II. Gray, J. 7. Mills, d. X. Noyes, D.
Reed, S. Thomas, and S. B. Townsend
The remaining portion Of the report,
says the Madison Journal, shows that
$4,000 in bonds were paid to Gov.
Bashford, and then enters upon an ex-
position Of the rascality, improvidence
and fraud which has marked the course
Of the managers of the company. This
part is as astounding as any other por-
ton Of the report.

We learn that a fresh. natural real

themselves, instead of delegatirg it to
the different professions, both the bod

saved-never before, on earth.
Parents! are your children children?
or are they caricatures? Are Won
training them as human beings. to
health and happiness, or are YOU fitting
them to act as show-igures for the diff,

The AMERICAN Tract SOCIETY,"
The North seems to have been over
powered by the South in this body
The resolution of last year, looking to
the publication of tracts affecting the
merely moral duties of the slavehold-
ers, as cautious, timid and conservative
as it was, has been expunged, and
hereafter the American Tract Society
has its mouth padlocked so that not the
faintest sound on this subject can es-
cape from it.
What commentary is this on the
recent religious awakening; what con-
firmation of the startling assertion of
Theodore Parker, that every man,
woman and child Of the nation might
undergo the popular conversion, and
not rivet would thereby be loosened
in the letters of a single slave. Here,
at the close of a claimed religious awak-
ening, unequalled in the land, and her
aided with trumpet tongue throughout
its length and breadth, and while the
pulpit and the press both seem to be
exulting over the increase of church
membership, we have one of the most
important and wealthy religious bodies
of the land, one that embodies nearly
all the religious sentiment of the nation,
deliberately resolving that even the
moral duties of masters to slaves, shall
not be treated Of 1t is an endorse
ment of the whole system of slavery,
as fully and comp letely as the bred
Scott decision. til an institution in
the estimation Of this society, so COM
pletely above reproach and question in
its character, that it need not and must
not be even alluded to. The society is
completely pro-slavery body, and it
only remains to be seen what the mem
bers who differ with it on this vital
point will do. AS the matter now
stands, to divide the society would leave
all its immense properties in the hands
ofthe Southern majority. It may be
deemed more advisable by those now
in the minority, but who certainly rep
resent a majority Of interest as well as
numbers, to labor to change the cha
acter and direction of the institution
so that the secession must come from
the other side. That a division must
come some day, is as certain as fate.

The Alternative for Kansas,

The Richmond South, a leading Or
gan of the Lecompton Democracy, in
speaking of the English swindle, very
truly says:
off the Conference Bill pass, Kansas
may come into the Union as Slave
State, OR SHE CANNOT COME IN
AT ALL. That is the issue.''
Precisely. This is the agreeable al
tentative offered to Kansas, by the Blu
.chanan Administration and the 'sNa-
tional Democracy" If she chooses to
come in as q SLAVE. STATE she NAV
come in right off, and be handsomely
paid for selling herself to the Slave
Power. But if she insists upon being
FREE, not only is she denied admission
into the Union ,eoac, but she is to be
kept out just as long as the Pros Slavery
Democracy, have the power to exclude
her.
This is the fair and equal settlement
of the Kansas question which Mr. Bu-
chanan has accomplished. This is that
submission of the Lecompton Constitu-
ton to the People of Kansas which the
Democracy North claim to have secur-
ed. This is the handiwork of the party
which boasts that it is national, not sec
tional, and that it holds the scales be-
tween North and South with steady
and impartial hand. Compare their
acts with their professions judge them
by their fruits, and where are they?-
When was ever a more thoroughly Sec
tional measure devised than this English
Swindle? When was Popular Sover-
eighty so wantonly outraged as in this
mock submission Of Lecompton to the
people of Kansas When were justice
and equity so grossly violated as in this
sham settlement Of the Kansas contro-
versy? Assuredly the parties to this
reasonable conspiracy against the
rights and liberties of the People of
Kansas, and the peace and honor of the
Republic, shall have their reward

THE MILwAUkEE MA1L RtFLED AT

THE MILWAUKEE Matt R1FLED AT
MADIsoN.-One of the most daring mail
robberies that we have heard of in
many day, was committed at Madi-
son on Wednesday evening. The dr.
gus of the next day says that "while
the mail was being conveyed to the
Depot for the night train, some unhung
thieves took from the wagon, unseen
by the driver, the Milwaukee mail bag,
and conveyed it to the vicinity of the
mill, where halt was had to investi-
gate and examine the plumber. The
bag was then cut open and the letters
taken out and rifed Of their contents.
All the valuable papers were carried
off, and the others strewn around the
marsh, and can now be had by the own
ers, at the Post Office, on calling for
the same.
There was a large amount in drafts,
checks, &C., payable in Milwaukee,
Chicago and New York, in the bag,
together with receipts for interest on
lands and loans, and undoubtedly some
other important papers not yet ascer-
tanned. The Banks have been gener-
ally notified to stop payment, and we
think it advisable that Bankers and
Brokers should closely watch for some
days, as the robbers may have the
hardihood to try and dispose of them.
We learn that an arrest has been made.
1t is evident that the forwarding of
mail matter to the cars is conducted in
a very reckless manner, otherwise such
a robbery could never have been COM
mittcd.''

A New WAY TO BRING Up THE
Constructing few days since in
Missouri, in sections where COWS have
a wide range, we heard a new entice-
ment to bring the COWS home at night.
That was, feeding them sugar, the
same as you would salt. A little hand
full at eve, at the same time of day,
would bring them back to the gate
with regularity as unfailing as the
sun. After they are trained in sugar
eating, it may be omitted every other
night. A halfdozen housewives as
sured me that the fact was well worth
knowing.

there is now an extraordinary stampede
of the slaves IN that State. Negroes
are daily escaping from their owners
in startling numbers. They go off, one,

to the presence of numerous Abolition
