senator Green ~ Missouri.

Of those who entered upon their Senate
rial career, at the commencement. of the
present Congress. Senator Green hus sue
cccded in acquiring the proudest position,
in that distinguished body. lie was the
first to make an able reply to Senator Doug
las. on the lecompton question. although
not the frat to essay it, His speech in NJ
ply To Senator Douglas is even now. con
coded to have been the ablcst effort made on
that side OF the question. The bold and dig.
niiiei manner, clear and impressive style OF
augmentation, and easy fluent delivery OF
the young and gifted senator, from Nilsson.
ri. designated him at once Us the leader in
that memorable controversy. which, so far
~ the Senate OF the United States was con.
ccrned, might be termed war between in.

OF his commanding talents that he became
leader. bu, he was actually made such by the
friends OF the measure. How well he &c.
Quilted himself, is known to eye witnesses, OF
whom II was our good fortune TO be one. 1t
was not our purpose, however, 10 review his
brilliant debut in the Senate. and we will
pass 10 the consideration Of his gallant, and
magnanmous bearing towards one whom Il
has become fashionable for "triaing poll.
ticians." as Jefferson DAVIS terms them, to
beraie and denounce. Senator Grcu made
a speech at ST Louis, last Monday night,
in which he declared the lecomp,ou con,ro-
versy settled, and no longer an issue before
the country. lie further declared tina, not
withs,anding his opposition to the course
pursucd by Senator Douglas las, winter, on
that question, his sympaih'es were now
warmly enlisted in his behalf. and he desired
his suecss over the combination which is
seking his defeat, and the election Of lin-

Secretary OF the Interior.
Rarey's secret.

While Mr.. RAREy is charging his pupils
ten guineas for instructing them in the art
of horse-breaking, London publisher has
issued pamphlet written by RAREy, before
he dreamed Of becoming hero, giving the
whole information for IL cents. The follow
is the theory;
First-That he (the horse is so constitu-
ted by nature that he will not offer resistance
to any demand made of him which he fully
comprehends, If made in way consistent
with the laws of his nature.
Second-That he has no consciousness of
his strength, beyond his experience, and can
be handled according to our will without
force.
1'hird-That We can. in compliance with
the laws ofhis nature by which he examines
all things new to him, take any object, how
ever frigh,iul around, over, or on him, that
does not intlic, pain-without causing him
10 fear.
The horse, though possessed Of some fac.
ulties superior to mans. being deficient in
reasoning powers, has no knowledge ofright
or wrong, OF free will and independent gov.
eminent, and knows not OF any imposition
practced upon him. however unreasonable
these impostlons may be. Consequently, he
cannot come to any decision as 10 what he
should or should not do, because he has not
the reasoning faculties OF man to argue the
justice of the thing demanded Of him. II
he had taken into consideration his superior
strength. he would be useless to man as a
servant.
Every one tina, has ever paid any atten.
ton to the horse has noticed his natural in
clina,ion TO smell everything which TO him
looks new and frghtiul This is his strange
mole OF examining everything And, when
he ls frightened at anything, though be looks
at it sharply. he seems to have no confidence
in this optical examination alone, but must
touch il with the nose before be is entirely
satisfied and as soon As this IS done, oil Is
right.
We might very naturally suppose, from
the tact OF the horses applying his nose 10
everything new to him, that he always does
so Tor the purpose Of smelling the objects. 81
But believe that Il IS A. much or more for
the purpose Of feeling, and that he makes
use OF his pose or muzzie las it is sometimes
called A. We would OF our hands because
il is the only organ by which he can touch
or feel anything with much susceptibility
We know, from experience. that II q
horse sess and smells robe short dist nee
from him, he is veiy much frightened Jun
less he is used to IN until be touches or ieels
il with his nose which is positive proof
,ha, feeling is the controlling sense IN this
case.

BLooDy INDIAN BArTLE.-We learn from
gentleman just down from the Red River
country. that fierce and bloody battle oc-
Cured between bands of the Sioux and
Chippewa Indians. near Big Stone Lake, in
Minnesota, on the l4,h OF July. The Chip
pewas lay in ambush and when their ele-
mics came within shooting distance, dropped
twenty Of them al the first fire. A handto-
hand encounter then ensued. both parties
fighting desperately. In this the Sioux los,
six more of their men, but killed eleven OF
the Chippewas.

eminent to send a sufficient force 10 keep

Emigration has been steadily flowing int
Lawrence for some time past. During TIT
prevalence OF fine weather the boats wer,
running on the Missouri and each brought vi
large number of Kansas. bound passengers
There arc now 40 persons at Kansas City
who came up in boat till within forty mile,
OF that place, before the river closed. They
then walked the remainder Of the distance
and are now rapidly scattering to diferen
parts OF the Territory. Owing to the mildnes
OF the season, the "movers." or wagon emf
grafton from the Western States, have beer

A Rich PRAcrIoAL JOKE. The method by
which the Free State legislature of Kansas
rid that territory of the infamous Lecompte
and Cato is one of the richest bits of legis-
laiive action in the history of the county
The work was accomplished by bill re-
districting the territory for judicial purposes.
BY this bill the territory is divided into three
dis,ricts-the first Of which lies west Of the
sixth principal meridian and north OF the
fourth standard parallel; the second lies ives,
Of the Same meridian and south of the same
parallel; and the third district lies east Of the
sixth meridian. Lecompte is assigned the
frst district; Cato the second; and Williams
the third. The third district embraces al
and more than Ill the settled and civilized
portions Of the territory, while the districts
assigned to Lecomptc and Cato are inhabited
by Indians and wild beasts The people to
whom LecOmpte will in future administer
justice will DO the Cheyennes, Pawnees, Pr

"This is a strong, aecumulative and over.
whelming statement Of facts. They have no,
been disproved, and 1t is not possible to over.
throw them; and it is under such an accu.
mutation Of evidence that Congress is asked
TO admit Kansas into the Union as a sover.

pie; and as for the erpedisaey of the thing,
il is a point that ought never to be raised by
the side of what is right, and wha, is just,
and what will alone be permanent and en-.
during. We commend this able report OF
Senator Douglas to the thoughtful attention
of all our readers, believing that its lucid and
thorough exposure Of this Lecompton hum.
bug will do invaluable service all over the
country"
