KANSAS IIEGIEA.-Letters from Kansas say
that there has been general stampede of
Pro-Slavery men from all parts of the Terri
tory. Nearly all the judges Of the precincts
where gross frauds were perpctra'ed at the
last election, are in Missouri, not daring to
return. 1t is said that, with one exception,
every person who acted as delegate in the
Calhoun Convention has left the Territoryi
At the last accounts everything remained
quiet in the Territory. The people were
waiting calmly TIE action of Congress upon
the Lccompton Constitution, with resolute
determination that if it were imposed upon
them, they would resist it with force;-rc-
solved it should never be put in operation
whatever might be the consequences to them
selves and the country.

Why will you Delayl-why will you negl


that disease which is taking such deep root and which
gives you warning by that hacking cough, that you
are fast ripening for eternity! Why encourage that
pain in tia side, the raising of blood, those night
sweats, that difficult breathing, which silently
whisper in your ear that something must be done to
save you from the grave of the consumptive! Why
act carelessly by permitting that disease to destroy
your health and hasten you to the tomb from whence
no traveller ever yet returned!
SILENCE THAT DREADFUL COUGH!
Or death must carry you to your silent grave. Why
delay while there isyet hope! Consumption is caused
by impure humOrs of the blood being deposited in the
cells of the lungs. Hence, the lungs like spring
of water. when rolled up by the dirt mud, if clear
water constantly flows through the springs, impurities
or mud viii be conveyed away by the pure water
Just with the blood when kept in clean or pure
state it constantly flows through the lungs, il
ries away all corrupt matter, and perfect health will
be the result. From two to three pills taken every
night every other night, enough to keep the
bowels regular, will in reasonable time cure con
sumption. The these pills used more thar
all others, is because they made of purifying
vegetables, and cleanse the body from all corrupt mat
ter, and drive out disease OF every description qucke
and in mder way than any other Pills.

SOUTHERN THREATs.-Senator Mason, of
Virginia, and other members of the Senate
from the South, intimated in debate that if
the Lecompton Constitution was rejected by
Congress, they should oppose the admission
of Minnesota. This threat has called down
the denunciation of the Northern Democratic
press. The South will find that these factious
exhibitions of sectional feelings, will create
a reaction at the North that will be most
disastrous to those who provoked the retalia-
ton. The New Albany Ledger, a Democratic
paper, says:
"Why should Minnesota be made to dance
attendance upon Kansas! Why should the
fate of o people, far away on the Upper Mis-
sissippi-a law abiding, patriotic people-be
made TO depend upon that of the Jim Lanes
and the Calhouns of Kansas! The people of
Minnesota elected their Constitutional Con-
vention in obedience to an act of Congress;
the constitution framed by that body was
submitted to the people in obedience to that
act and the people, by an almost unanimous
vote, ratifedit at the polls. They proceeded
peacefully, lawfully, and as good citizens
should do. a Legislature, chosen under the
provisions of that cons tuition, have elected
Gen. Shields and Mr.. Rice, two as good
Democrats as live. to the IT, S. Senate. And
yet, when the Constitution of Minnesota is
presented aaW ashington, we frd Mr.. Mason
of Virginia, and other Southern Senators

- Our mails are standing subjects of
complaint all over the country, but the West
has more than double its share of delinquen-
cies. Last week, about ne-half the mails
missed the connexion at Vincennes, and the
bags for tins city were carried on to st. Louis
OF left at the Yincennes post Office. The
Western Sun explains the difficulties. The
route agents on the o. e. NJ. Road are re-
qu;red to go through with their respective
mails from Cincinnati to s.. Louis, which
occupies eighteen or twenty hours travel
daily;-this is more labor and fatigue than
the agents are willing to endure for the pay,
and they are all resigning their positions;
and some of the mails were carried over Il e
road last week without any one to attend to
and deliver them. They were consequently
taken on to st. Louis. Judge Moore, at Vim
cennes, attempted 20 remedy the difficulty by
appointing temporary route agents, but the
postmaster at st. Louis would not recognize
the appointments and let them take charge OF
the mails. The demand now is that the
agent shall be changed at Vincennes, and be
required to go over only one-half the route
each day.

willard Carpenter W. City of Evansville.

An application was made to Judge
Smith, sitting in chamber at Canneltop,
on Friday, for an injunction against the
city to restrain the City Collector from
collecting the corporation taxes on the
applicants property, for the year 1857.
Mr. Chandler, on behalf Of tine applicant,
asked for the injunction on the grounds
that the tax was illegally assessed, and
that the valuation Of the property was
unequal, unjust, and oppressive. He
made the following points. viz: first, that
the property was appraised too highly;
I'd, that the mode of appraising was ille-
gal; Sd, that the taxes exceeded by
seven cents the amount allowed by the
charter to be assessed on each 500 val
uation; and 4th, that the Collector had
transcribed the power given to him by
the charter.
Major Robinson, on the part Of the
city, contended that the assessment made
by Mr.. Burke. the city assessor, and
subsequently revised by the Board OF
Equalization, was legal, just, and equal.
He quoted the law, the charter, and
the ordinances Of the city, and sustained
his positions by reference to various au-
thorities. He read communication
from Mr.. Carpenter, in which the latter
had proposed to pay his taxes without
further objections, if the City Council
would order the payment of the coupons
or the Lamasco bonds to the Straight
Line Railroad. The case occupied the
attention of the Judge till a late hour in
the evening. At the close Of the argu.
ment, the Judge said as it was matter o
much Importance to Mr.. Carpenter and o
deep interest to the city, he desired time
to consider the case, and would make al
ord on Thursday next, or as early a
his other duties would enable him t
give his attention to the case. We lear
that it is likely, whatever may be tn
decision of Judge Smith, that an appea
will be taken to the Supreme Court.
