His elevation was thought to be three miles when he was last seen and, assuming this to be the distance he fell, it would only require thirty one and half seconds for him to reach the earth, mean velocity of 495 feet per second. Assuming his weight to be 16O pounds, he would strike the earth with momentum equal to 160,800 pounds or little more than 80 tons- power sufficient to scatter his body, bone and mnscle, into atoms so minute as scarcely to be psrceptible, if not to bury him deep into the earth

6F California must be great farming coun- try if we credit the statement made in the fol- lowing extract from the address of Mr. Bell, at the State agricultural fair:
 " Whole farms have been made to yield 230O bushels of potatoes to the acre; 90 bushels of barley; 10 bushels of corn; 60 bushels of wheat, and from fifty to one hundred tons of carrots, beets, turnips and onions to the acre. The same land has been made to produce four crops of peas in one year, and strawberries to yield seven months in the twelve.
 Since 1855, in a State agricultural fair, have seen beet that weighed l25 pounds; a turnip that weighel upwards of 30 pounds; corn stalk upwards of twenty five feet in height, and pears that weighed four pounds apiece.''

catlon which has been given to the world ;, " But the Presidents of these republics.n con- tinues MT. Cass, deal in specific facts as in more general allegations" They charge that "the government of the United States has. ac- cordlng to official reports made to that of Costa Rca, by it's Minister Plenipotentiary at Wash lngton, declared it was utterly powerless to pre- vent past attempts by the fillibnsters ar to nro. tect the neutrality of Central America owino to the insutciency of the laws of the United States on this head.
 This accusation is wholly without foundation. No such declaration was ever made by the CO., vernment of the United States. It would have been an act at once of fatuity and of falsitv. As to the difficulty in the enforcement of these laws they are not denied, and have given much trouble to the government in the efforts it has made to carry them into effect; but that they are poweresS, or have proved so no one in or outof the United States has the right to assert. The representatives of the Central American States may be called on as witnesses that in all cases where they have given information to the government that military expeditions against that reglon were about to be undertaken. 1nea- sures have been immediately adopted to pre- vent thelr success and to arrest and punish tha offenders. Sometimes these efforts have failed
 
 owing to causes not within the control of the government, and sometimes they have been successful; but at all times the knowledge of the disposition of the government to discharge ener- getically the duties imposed on it by the laws has operated as powerful restraint upon these enterprises and has crippled the means relied upon tor their consummation. To these views connected with this charge of acknowledged iu- becillty, have how to add that have just had an interview with the present Minister Plenipo- tentlary of Costa Rca in this city. and have been assured by him that no such declaration was ever received by him from this government. nor communicated to his own. If such commu. s'.asioa was ever made by any one in good faith, It must have been done under soma strange misapprehension.n AMERICAN POLICY FOR THE AMERICAN oosTiSEST.-A guarantee for the general use qua security of the Transit route, and also fo, its neutrality, is a desirable measure ,.b;.l would ia mee. the hearty concurrence of the Uni ted ctates' These views have aireaav haa,

We publish herewith the Speech in tie House
Of MIR. CLARK Il. COCBRANE of our State in op-
position to the forcing by the Federal Government
of the Lecompton Constitution upon Kansas. We
think few first Speeches on that floor have equaled
this in clearness of statement, grasp of funds
mental principleA or force of argument, If the
nndensble facts set forth in this Speech were but
universally known, it is impossible that there
should be two opinions among honest men who
love Liberty and Justice Is to the imminent Kansas
question. Throughout the Free States, the Re-
publicans are in minority only where the facts
with regard to Kansas are suppressed and un-
knewn. Even in this City, no journal which sus-
tsins Mr.. Buchansn's policy has ever given, we
will rot ssy fair account Of events Transporting in
Kansas, but any consecutive, coherent account at
all. Men accounted intelligent are at this hour
grossly ignorant Of the most elementary truths
with respect to Kansas and her wrongs. We urge
therefore. that the widest possible currency be
given to Mr.. COCHRANE's vigorous and stirring
exposure of the Lccompton villany.
