EQuILIBRIVM Since the admission Of Califor-
MIA, the struggle of the Extremists of the South
has been for the restoration of the 6 equilib-
rum " in the Senate, then disturbed. The des-
perate game played for Kansas has TUNED up
on this point. Kansas Slave State, would
make the Slave States delegation in the Senate
thirty-two against thirty-two, which with the
Vice President, would secure the ascendeney to
Slavery.
The struggle has thus far failed-Kansas
seems to be Guiding their grasp-and just at
this iuncture, come Minnesota and Oregon,
free States, knocking for admission. The Re-
publicans have but to say the word, and
they are admitted. Straightway the Free
State delegation goes up to thirty-six, to be in
creased in a short time by Kansas to thirty
eight--thirty eight against thirty Equilibrium
forever rendered impossible! the dangerous il
fusion, which fSgyso long misled the South, in
famed its Extreme men, and given them the
control of its Councils, forever extinguished
A mischieyous struggle forever given up Who
can calculate the beneficial consequences
Shall this all be overlooked, and minor con-
sidtrti0ns be suffered to overshadow the one
great Question Ezra.

WHAT THE SOUTH THINK OF IT Referring to
the message of the Lecompton Swindle the
Richmond Va. South Says:
Most sincerely do we congratulate the coun-
try on the result. 1t closes sickening and
distracting controversy. 1t achieves a Con-
gressional recognition of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition. 1t afirms the principles for which the
South has contended throughout the struggle.
1t admits Kansas into the Union as a slave
State, and thus consolidates the victory OF
1854. In practice as well as principle, it is
now established that no Federal prohibition
will avail to restrict the expansion of the pre-
slavery power
Again
Weare surprised that our neighbor of the
Wing persists in the opinion that the Confer
ence Bill submits the Lecompton Constitution
to popular vote of Kansas. The terms OF the
Bill are directly contradictory Of any such in.
depreciation. They refer nothing but the Land
ordinance for the popular ratification and
whether that be rejected or not, the Lecomptor
Constitution is still valid and authoritative
instrument. The admission of Kansas is' de-
pendent upon the acceptance of the ordinance
because that is condition upon which botf
parties to the compact must agree before th'
Federal Government will receive Kansas into
the Union

have been overhauled recently on the Upper
Mississippi, between la Crosse and Prairie 'du

past year from their depredations The rob

searched by citizens, at the investigation of one
robber who quarreled with the Others, and some
$4,000 or $4,000 worth of stolen goods recover

VALUE AND QUANTITY OF THE CoTToN
CRoP.-The beautiful weather in September
(Which month has been ireer from storms of
wind or rain than any similar period ut the
South for many years. has not only matured
the crop rapidly, but has enabled the planters
to make rapid progress in picking. The rust
has injured the growth in many districts. and
the overflow probably wiped out 100000
bales, but the remaining yield IS now almost
independent Of frost, and is set down, gener-
ally, at about $4,000 bales. II we take
$500, 900 bales as the probable crop, and 900
pounds as the average to the bale, and (con-
sidering that the quality is said TO be better
than usual, IL we assume IL IL cents as the
average price, we shall have as the total value
Of the new crop, in round numbers 227, OOO,-

THEATRIcAL.-The plays Of "The .Happiest
Day of my Life and the "People's Lawyer"
were performed at the Theatre, last eveningr
We sincerely wish that this unequalled coinpa-
ny may, during their stay amongst US, meet with
the encouragement which they justly deserve. 1t
Is seldom that we here have an opportunity of
witnessing the fine old English comedies pro-
duced in such superior manner, and indeed it
carries US back to the days when, in New York,
we witnessed in one company such artists as Bur
ton. Brougham, Blake, Lester, and others of
prominence.
Mr.. Owens is host in himself. In every
movement and every gesture there is gush of
irresistible comic; and, in fact, when standing
motionless, it is almost impossible to refrain
from bursting into laughter at the inimitable ex-
preston Of his face. As comedian, we ave OF
the opinion that he has no superior, if, indeed
an equal. Messrs. Norton and Williams are two
gentlemen standing deservedly high in their pro.
fession. The latter was an old favorite here in
the days of Mr.. Marshall. or Mr.. Norton it is
almost necessary to speak, when we consider that
for several years he has occupied leading posi-
ton in the New York theatres. He is an accom-
plished actor. OF the several other male mem.
beers Of the company we have yet to speak, as they
are comparatively new to us. An actress Of the
first class is Charlotte Thompson and has
manner of making herself favorite with all be-
holders. In light parts, Miss Cramer is always
pleasing At each return to this city, Miss Es.
ther Holman is most warmly welcomed, and it
must be hattering to this lady to receive the p.
plause which is always attendant upon her APP.
pearance.
We must not forget to mention, last, but not
least Mr.. Strong, the scenic artist. He is en-.
gagged, ard will, occasion requires, furnish
such scenery that which we are already
proud Of.
The unfavorable weather of last evening deter.
red many nom attending, and thus they lost the
opportunity Of seeing Mr.. Owens in two Of his
popular characters. Tonight will be performed
the "Heir at Law" and "Betsey Baker" Go, by
all means.

BULLARD's PANORAMA OF New YORK City
This panorama, after weeks visit was unrolled
to the view of the citizens of Worcester for the
last time, las, evening. No panorama that has
visited this city for a long time has given SO
much satisfaction, and received SO many encomi-
ums, from all who have visited it.
After birds eye view Of the city and harbor
we commence our tour Of Broadway, having
detailed view Of this great metropolitan thorough
fare. Every building is represented, and repre-
scented accurately, even to the color of the walls
and the lettering Of the signs, which last can be
easily read by the audience as the picture passes
along There are very beautiful views of
the City Hall, the New York University, the
various leading hotels and other objects Of in
terest. Views of the shipping at the piers of the
Battery and the scenery of the Bay are very spir
tied and life-lke. Fine portraits of distinguish.
ed political and literary gentlemen are pointed
out.
The explanatory lecture which is delivered as
the painting moves along, is interesting and in
structive. We have dropped into the Hall an
hour nearly every evening the work has been
here, and have been very much pleased with the
lecture of DR.. Lille but were, if possible still
more pleased with that of Mr.. Williams, who lee
tured last evening. The lecturer speaks nearly
every moment of the two hours that the piano.
rama moves before the audience, and the infor-
nation impaired by these lectures is alone worth
twenty five cents, the price of admission.
The proprietors about to exhibit it in most
of the towns of this county, the people of
which seldom have opportunity of seeing
so fine work of art, and within the same time
gaining SO much reliable information concerning
the chief city of the continent

go, and would urge our readers to improve an
opportunity they may never ag ain enjoy.

TROUBLE IN Brown UNIVERSITY Some
disorders in this institution have occurred.
resulting in the dismissal of about twenty
i've members of the Sophomore class. A
custom has long prevailed, and has latterly
increased, of /" hazing" the freshmen This
ceremony, which has been regarded as a me-
cessary imitation into the mysteries and priv
ileges of college life, has been performed by
the Sophomores, whose vigorous exertioDs
are naturally stimulated by tile recollection of
their own mode of undergoing the same pro-
cess the year before. AT first it was little
more than harmless pleasantly, and although
always discountenanced and forbidden, was
not visitad severely upon the offender. A few
rebukes were the extent of the punishment
deemed due to irregularities that sprung from
high animal spirits, and that were not de-
formed by malice or wickedness.
But, as is too often the case with such
abuses the " hazng" has grown more severe
and this year it included not only smoking
the Freshmen out of their own rooms with
tobacco-such of them as could not stand it
but squirting water over them, taking pos
session OF their rooms, and compelling them
to submit to insults and violence that were
not consistent with gentlemanly dignity.-
Reports a good deal exaggerated, of what
was quite bad enough in itself, reached the
parents and friends of the boys VINO had been
subjected to this treatment and serious Of
fence was given. Teachers have also com
planned, and hare hesitated to recommend
their pupils to enter the college on this account.
Last year, some friendly efforts were made
by the government of the College to induce
the Sophomores to give up the custom, but
not with much effect; ana this year the class
formally resolved, in class meeting, that thew
would put their successors through in the
same way that they had been put through
themselves. And they did. 1t became ne.
cessary to make serious matter of it, not for
the punishment of the past, but to arrest the
growing evil. DR.. Sears demonstrated with
the offenders, but willing, in conseq uence of
the laxltY that had been shown in such cases
before, and in consideration of the custom
that had grown up, to overlook the past, he
only exacted promise that the offence should
not be repeated This they refused to do, and
by resolutions in class meeting, The question
then became whether the President or the
Sophomore class should rule in the College.
whether Brown University should be an in
stltutlon tor the education of young men, or
for smoking out Freshmen. The students
who refused were dismissed. They have been
dismissed, not on account of the 'shazing,"
but because they have distinctly and formally
refused to obey the laws of the College

Kisses from thine earliest bride.

Wearing glory Of the dawn,
Golden clouds along the orient,
Ushering in the perfect morn
Like The star that cane to token
How tue Chrst-chd had been born.
