The "Ensli.h,, Bill i'm Kansas.

The ''Engllsh'' Bill IN Aous8s'
The Portland Advertizer contains let
ter from Thomas Ewing, Jr., from which
We extract rs follows:
LEAvENwoRrH, K. T., May Is, 1858.
JAMES q. BLAIKE, Esa.-My Dear Sir: !:
Il have your letter of the Sd inst, max
ing inquiry as to the possibility of the peo-
pie OF hansas accepting the English bride,
and coming into the Union under the Le-
compton Constitution. have noticed in
dications of fear of this result in Renubli-
can papers, and in letters from persons
friendly to US. This dread lest they NAV
be bribed 10 the commission of a base act
could only be regarded by the people as in.
dicating an ungenerous lack of confidence
in their integrity, did they not know that
their friends abroad had grown nervous
from long solicitude about Kansas, and
that their ears are daily filled with untrue
statements from it.
=
The character of the English bill is a.
generally understood here as in any North
ern State, and much more generally dis
pissed The mind of every man is made up
as 10 the vote he will cast upon it. The
profered bribe wiH get no hearing before
the people, but will be rejected NTH iadig-
nation and scorn. II rW not add one
hundred rotes to the strength of the naked
Lecompton. If the National Democracy
make no effort in its behalf, it will be voted
down by about eight. thousand majority
if they make such effort, it will De voted
down by about taoelve thousand majority.
The Pro-Slavery Party will vote for it, and
some of those Douglas men who prefer a
Slave State. The rest of the Douglas De
mocracy will 60 against it-and the faces
of the united Ere: State Party will turn
all one wav.
There is no terror to the people of Kan
cas- in the threat of temporary exclusion
from the Union. / feel safe in saving that
if they could have the control of the Ter
ritorial Government, from Its organization,
they would not yet have asked admission.
They sought to be admitted under the To-
pekq Constitution, only to rid themselves
of the usurpers who held the Territorial
Government. After getting control Of that
Government, they framed the Leavenworth
Constitution merely to defeat the Lecomp-
ton. The people of Kansas are poor, in
debt, struggling to open their farms and
homes for their families, and have neither
the numbers nor the wealth 10 bear the
burden of a State Government-and they
will not hasten to assume that burden, OF
to beleaguer the doors of Congress for nd
mission. Very truly yours,
THOS. EWING, JR.

A Cry WITHOUT W.rrn-Tbe Ruffa,

A Cry WITHOUT WHARF.-THE Buffalo
Water Works are owned by private COM
pany. They have made losing business
oft, and have, therefoee, been endeavoring
to sell out to'the city. They demand a
perpetual guarantee from the city of seven
per cent, interest on the cost of their exten-
sions, which are estimated at sl25,OOO.-
The Common Council acceded to the other
demands of the company, and agreed to
pay 5000, or seven per cent per annum on
their extension for twelve years only. This
is not satisfactory to the company, and
they have given public notice that they
shall suspend all operations on the I'd Of
May.

ed. Redpath tells hard stories of Lane,
and it is barely possible that Lane has
something to say of Redpath, the reverse

the endeavor of little Jim, the editor, to
be bigger than big Jim the General.

A DeSOIate Home !.

Scarce month ago and the family of DIR.
EBRIeHT, Of this town, was among the very
happiest in it. In that home were two
household gods'-bright, joyous, children,
little treasures, beloved by all-the pets and
idols of that household, whom to look upon,
was to Deget wish to look upon again, and
to look again, was to love. But Death, who
it is said is ever seeking for such as are near
and dear to us, came into that happy family
and took for his first victim, little LuRA,
the blessing of whose quiet life, "fell on us
like the dew"
Fold her. o Father in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
a messenger of Love between
Our human hearts and Thee.
Whilst sorrow was yet fresh in that strick-
en- household, the wall of lamentation over
their last, their only child, went out again
upon the wind, announcing to sympathising
friends. that the sufferings of Little TOMMY,
TOO, were over. Though his body is con-
signed to earth, who does not remember his
Rosy lip and dancing eye,
Loving spirit, sweet and sly"
The afflicted parents have the heartfelt
sympathies of this community in their deep
bereavement.
"Mother Of that little band,
Thlnkest thou Of those little hands
Once thou used to lead about,
In the doors and then without?
Little hands SO kind and free,
Now, dear mother, are leading thee
Golden cords there are to bind,
Angel thought to earthly mind; a
They, the gentle, good and kind.
Are watching thee"

Military Affairs.

A note from Gen. Kibbe, accompanying the be-
low published correspondence, states that Mes
sec's company are encamped near Pardee's, in
Humboldt He adds that they have company
Of seventy of the best men that could be select
ed for suchexpedition. Capt. Underwoods Reg
ulars, though having all disposition, can not CO.
operate much with the volunteers their orders
from Major Rains are peremptory to protect the
trail they cannot, for the present, leave that
duty to pursue Indians-it must be performed by
the volunteers who, the General thinks are able
TO do it, if they can reach the hostile camps.
We learn, otherwise, that on arrival at Par
dee's the company were disappointed in meeting
supplies, but it is presumed they obtained suffi-
cient from the camp Of the Regulars. The poor
fellows will suffer severely from the storms of the
present week. but most of them are Injured to
mountain weather. From information received
at various times, from persons familiar with the
country, we believe the volunteer company too
few for such an undertaking nevertheless one
of the border men in the company is equal to
half dozen persons not familiar with Indian
fighting. We have not much apprehension Of
their safety-the difficulty vii! be that they can
not catch the savages, and cannot afford the nee
essary subdivisions to circumyent them.
