GEN. WHITFIELD.-We understand that this
notorious individual, after hearing of Gen.
Lanes speech in Doniphan, took farewell
leave of the beautiful and lOuely city of Kicka-
poo, and thought it would be best for him to
join his brethren, murderers and assassins as
they are, as it was getting rather too warm for
him in Kansas. We are opposed to lynch law,
but if the legal authorities will not do their
duty, Judge Lynch should do it for them
Crusader Of Freedom.
Gen. WHITFIELD is a sham democrat but
every one in Tennessee, who is acquainted
with him, and has had an opportunity to
test him, knows him to be a high-minded hon
orable man. He is to be driven from the
territory, because, as Southern man, he has
labored to sustain his rights of property, and
to make Kansas a slave State. This is the
whole Of his offence. There are hundreds of
other pro-slavery leaders in the territory, as
worthy in every respect, as Gen. WHITFIELD,
who are guilty of the same offence, and against
whom the curses of abOlitionism have been
hurled. We hope all of them will maintain
their ground, and die if necessary in defence
of their rights. If the issue between slavery
and anti-slavery is to be one of blood, it might
as well be wrought out on the plains of Kan
sas as anywhere else.

Our Senators.

We copy below the report by the Washing
ton Union of the conclusion of the debate be-
tween our Senators in Congress on the In
structing Resolutions. 1t occurred on the
oath ult in the Senate. We must again say,
that Mr.. BELL manifests the strongest pcrver-
sity of judgment we have ever known in
public man of his prominence, when he de-
mics that the Nebraska bill was principal is
sue in the canvass of 1856. We grant that
know-Nothingism was the leading subject of
controversy in that canvass. But no man can
have forgotten that Mr.. BELL refused to join
that organization; and that, so far as he was
concerned, the issue was direct upon his course
on the Nebraska biil-U,non and american,
3rd inst.
We understand this as an affirmation that
the "Kansas-Nebr bill was a principal is
sue in the canvass of 1867 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the editor who makes it, has
the proof at hand to verify it. That canvass
opened at Murfreesboro' on the first of May of
that year. The opening speech of Governor
JOHNSON was published in the Union and Amer
lean. Now, we challenge that paper to show.
from its own files, in its own reports or in its
correspondence during the progress of the
canvass, or in its editorials, where and when
the Kansas-Nebraska bill was made a rrinci-
pal ISSUE from the beginning to the end of that
canvass. 1t must ether furnish the proof, or
admit that it has mis-stated the fact-Patrid,
4h inst.
We have been patiently awaiting, since the
4th inst, the result of our neighbours investi-
cation of his files. He has not yet spoken.
We trust he will not prolong his silence much
further. If the Kansas-Nebraska bill was a
principal issue" in the canvass of II 55, sure
ly the editorials and correspondence of the
Union and american the speeches of ANDREW
JOHNSON and AARON V. BRowN and the letters
of the latter and CAVE JOHNSON, will furnish
ample evidence. Let the public have ex-
tracts from them, neighbOr, in proof of your
position.

The Shells Thrown at Napoleon.

1t has been ascertained beyond doubt that
the grenades used in the late attempt to as
sassinate the Emperor Napoleon were manu-
featured at Birmingham, (England,) by an in
genious mechanic named TAYLOR Mr.. TAY-
LoR has been frequently employed by the
English Government in the construction OF
machinery requiring peculiar mechanical skill

models for their ideas. In October last a re-
spectacle Birmingham manufacturer introduce

from whom he received an order and models
to execute u certain work to the following
effect:
"a bowl to be made in cast iron, of the very
best and toughest quality, of the exact size OF
the large model. The holes to be made the
same size and in the same direction. The top
to be made of the same material and made to

tightly. A large screw for the top to he made

ject about quarter of an inch inside and on

Trial of an American I'm Prussia.


A letter in the New York Hrald, dated
Berlin, Jan. "a, has the following:
"A case was tried the other day In the
Criminal Court of this city, in which Young
American was involved law student by the
name Of Sprigg, who halls from the State of
Louisiana The affair 1t refers to occurred as
early Us last October; but the course of JUS
tice is so tardy in this country that the trial
has only just come ON. On the evening Of
the 10th of October Mr.. Sprigg was standing
with some OF his fellow students at the corner
OF the Leipziger Strasse, when Prussian
officer, Lieut.. Won Holleben, came along in
full uniform, engaged, rs il is stated, in the
performance Of bis military duties. La pass

with something resembling hiss, and he APP

which Pfussian lieutenanis are apt TO address
civilians is not exactly what Americans, and
especially Southern gentlemen, are used to.
Instead of answering the inquiry, therefore,
Mr.. Sprigg asked him, In return, what be
meant by such question, and proceeded in
continentiy TO seize Won Hoileben by the
collar, whereupon the latter drew his sword
and inflicted severe cut upon hisantogonist's
arm, and another upon his forehead

LIE STUDIES F.; OR, How LIVE BY Rer }. BaiHie.
New York. Harper & Brothers, For sale by W. 7.
Berry Co.
This little work is one, the aim of which
seems to be to teach us chow to live" by
placing before us the example of others, who
though the way of life was oftentimes dark
to them, threaded its mazcs in a manner which
taught them how to die. OF these examples,
or "studics,n we have five: /. The Good
Soldier-John Bunyan. H. The Christian
Laborer-Gerhard Tersteegen. III. The
Christian Man of Letters-James Montgomery.
w. The Man of Business-Frederick Per-
thes V. The Christian Mother-Mrs Mary
Winslow.
Our attention is more particularly directed
to the first and third. of these examples, as
being persons with whose history and charac-
ter every one is familiar. The other 'Chris-
tian Athletes" not being known to US other
wise than as our suthor has here portrayed
them, we cannot say how far the ''Life-study"
is applicable to the real character, or how far
the study of them will affect the living and
dying of others. Ii IL said to have been the
belief of certain tribes of aborigines, that the
spirit, the endurance, courage, &c, of every
enemy be Stays with his own hand, passes
into his own being, inspiring his own spirit
with new courage, aud strengthening his arm
with new energy, consequently his ambition
is TO slay his enemy. that he may grow him
self And such ought evidently to be the
case when we study the useful lives, the
heroic deeds, the lofty dcstinies OF those whom
the world has crowned n saints aud martyrs.
While we watch their likelihood ehhing away
in the struggle. we should strive TO appropri-
ate TO the growth and expansion of our own
being, the courage, the power. and the endur-
ance which they have displayed. II We study
them Alright, we doubt not that We shall be
able to grow 10y their example.
Much however, depends upon the manner
in which these " studies are presented TO Us,
whether We shall. or shall not receive their
spirits into our own. 1. 10 not every one who
can take up the mantle Of the Translated, but
only those can wear IL, upon whom the proph-
ct casts il, as his fiery chariot passes away
into the great realm of the Unknown. To
other minds ID may appear different, but 10 US
il seems that we imhibe the true spirit Of the
coed Soldier, John Bunyan," better from
his own Pilgrim than from anything that l.
written Of him, on Indeed anything else that
he has written Of himself for, as our author
remarks. = Banyan Is his own Pilgrim embod-
led into life" And by the way that, the frat,
il also the best sentence in the book.
