Two PAcTvIc ISLANDS OFFERED TO THE
U. S.-Two of the Society Islands, Tahaa
and Raiatea, have offered themselves to tho
United States. They are said to bo two
of tho finest islands in the groupc, and
have harbor protected by coral reef,
which is large enough to float all the YES
sells in the world The location is very de-
sirable for station for our whaling vessels.
1t appears that on the 26th day Of MAY,
the U. S. consul at Tahiti, visited Tahaa,
and during his visit the natives, without
his knowledge, drew up paper, which was
signed by all tho governors and principal
officers on the island, presenting tho island
to the United States. Mr.. Owen was nat
urally very much surprised when the ma
ture Of the document was explained to him.
He promised to send it to the President of
the United States. This, at first did not
satisfy the people, as they wanted the
"Hstars and stripes" hoistad immediately
Soon after Raiatea followed in tho wake of
Tahaa, and all of the governors with the
exception of one land ho was not presently
signed a similar paper. So all that re-
mains for the United States to do, is to ac-
cept or reject the gift.

AFTER THE STORM n THE SUN.

Brother is thy sky with clouds oercastl
Doth streams of sorrow DER thy spirit run,
Heavens stormy sky cannot foreverlnst
The blackest clouds but the soonest past
And after the storm is the sun.
Doth adverse blasts blow bitter cold'
Dost thou rcpine when every cherished one
Turns from the rage Of love thou wouldst unfold,
And bortcrs friendships joys for ill-got gold'
After the storm is the sun.
Doth fcklc, unreenting Fortune frown,
And turn her radiant face il to shuni
Doth fame once bockoning thee towards rcnown,
Coldly from her lofty cminence look down;
After the storm is the sun.
Is thy poor soul Of hope forlorn,
Despairing of the goal It should have won'
with anguish keen is thy poor bosom torn;
Doth night obscure thy long expected morn;
After the storm is the sun.
When drcary earth shall pail upon thy sight,
And beyond the vale thy chastcncd spirit turn,
No longer wandering in the depths of night,
Thy being shall expand in Heavens genial light;
And round thee shine eternal sun.

From Fort Scott.


On Saturday last, the seth ult-, mes
senger arrived from the Little Usage River,
in Bourbon county about fifteen miles from
Fort Scott, bringing intelligence that the
devils incarnate that infest that hole had
again commenced their work Of pillage and
plunder. About two weeks since some
eight or ten of these fends in human shape
took Mr.. Johnson, a Free State man who
kept a Grocery and bakery in Fort Scott,
prisoner, robbed him of all the money on
his person, broke into his grocery and took
all the money and what yaluables they de-
sired from there, broke open his trunk at
the hotel and took from thence his clothes,
and then compelled him under threats of in
slant death, to give them an order on the
keeper of the livery stable there, for five
horses, which he (Johnson) had placed in
his charge for keeping-thus robbing him
of everything he possessed and reducing
him to beggarY. After this they locked him
up in house and set a guard over him to
prevent his escape. He managed, however.
on the second day to effect his escape and
came Immediately on to the Usage, and a
messenger was Immediately despatced with
the information to the Military Board at
Lawrence, requesting them to take cogni-
zance of these facts. Mr.. johnson also
stated that at the time of his escapin. the
Border Ruffians had in custody the Post
master. and three other Free State men,
(the whole number at present in Fort Scott
without warrant, and were threatening their
lives for being r'Abolitionists Mr. John
son IS endorsed as man of reliability by
several well-known persons living on the
Little Usage, and there is no doubt that his
statement is entirely true. We are not ad-
vised as to what action the Military Board
viii take in the matter; but we certainly
think that something should be done to re-
lieye the citizens of that part of the coun-
try from the presence of these scoundrels
who are constantly plundering, and disturb
ing the peace. Fort Scott is the last Bor-
der Ruffian hole in the Territory of any
significance. The most desperate charac-
ters that have ever infested Kanzas are
gathered there, and until they are driven
out there can be no peace to that part of the
Territory.

Prince John Goes to Washington.

His Highness, Prince John the bogus,
father of the Lecompton Cunningham ba-
by" has left Kanzas to carry the news of
the late election to his friend James Buchan-
an, at the White House, and receive further
orders in relation to the management of the
Administrations pet-scheme for making
Kanzas Slave State. Doubtless he will be
warmly welcomed at the Prsident's Man
sion, with 'sweil done thou good and faith
full servant On his way, in passing
through. Prince John stopped at Lexington,
and being called on made speech, in which
he told the audience that ''crisis" would
soon arrive in the affairs of their sister,
Kanzas, when it would behoove the patriot
ic .snon-interyentionists of Missouri to
"pitch in'' and save that Territory from get
ting into the hands of the ..Abolitionists"
Our informant states that the speech was
not very well received, the people of that
portion of Missouri having been '.bled' to
a considerable extent during the Kanzas
troubles for ''war expenses" and their trade
irremediably injured, and accomplishing
nothing by their efforts, they regard Kanzas
as something of ''humbug.''
The honest men and men of property in
Missouri have become sick and tired of the
Kanzas struggle, and viii do no more to
prolong the useless contest. All Prince
Johns endeavors to get the Missourians to
invade Kanzas will prove futile-there are
too many broken heads and empty purses
amongst them, which are due to the Kan
zas .sAbolitionists'' to ever be tempted to
make another foray. We sympathise with
John In his endeayors to elect himself q. S.
Senator under his own Constitution, but we
fear he win fail. Poor John .-the only
friend he has in the world is s'Jeemes'' Bu-
chanan-and he, poor imbecile old man, is
almost friendless and despised by his own
household John viii hardly dare come
back to Kanzas; IN fact his leaving at the
time he did. was most opportune; but if the
Investigating Committee" had got hold Of
him, he would have had hard time of it
and we fear that even his friend ssJeemes'
could not have saved him.

Glorifying Douglas.

We are sorry to observe strong inclina-
ton in many Republican journals to fatter
Douglas, praise the popular sovereignty
humbug, and thus help very erroneous
impression in the minds of many that the
.'little giant has joined the AEti-Slavery
party of the North. This is all wrong
Any one who has watched the course of the
Illinois Senator, must be convinced that
the Slave Power has no more subtle tool OF
more inscriptions servant than he has been
and still is. The only reason that has In
dueed Douglas to take the step he has, is
the fear of losing his seat In the .. S. Sen
ate. An Illinois correspondent of the St
Louis Evening News, thus forcibly states
the reasons for Douglas opposition to the
Lecompton Constitution
.'But what is all this break up In the Dem
ocratic party for just now, so far as Doug
las is concerned? Simply this: Douglas
went round the State before he left for Con
eress; he became satisfied that he would bt
defeated for the Senate if he made the Le-
compton Constitution the issue. He came
| out against that constitution to save himself
! In Illinois. He has gone so far that he mus

him. He has now arranged with other mer
