RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF THE BAP-
TIsr MISSIONARY UNION.-Thc donations and
legacics to the Babtist Missionary Union, mp
TO the close of the financial year. March 18th,
amounted to SS5, ,S5O.74, which, added to the
sums placed at the disposal of the Executive
Committee for specified purposes, by the
United States Government and coordinate
societies, swells the entire sum, in round
numbers, to S97 600. This amount is equal
to the sums actually paid out by the Treasurer,
and leaves the debt against the treasury about
the same as the previous ycar-S37 900. The
amount received into the treasury during the
month of March was $4,000.

THE New MILITARY LAW.-Undcr the new
Military law, passed at the recent session of
the Legislature, the militia enrolment is en-
tirely dispensed with, and all volunteer COM
panies parading, are all owed for every person
each day, not exceeding six times during the
year, one dollar and fifty cents per diem. In
addition to this, the commanding officer of
regiment may order the companies composing
it out for an encampment parade, not exceed
ing six days, once during each year. This is
intended inducement to young men,
with military ardor, who cannot well afford to
lose the time for the indulgence of it.

How THEY Look At IT IN kASsAs.-The
people of Kansas, as we anticipated, reject
with contempt the pitiful bribe offered them
by the Administration as the price of their
liberties; they scout the idea of receiving the
Lecompton constitution even when accom-
panied by golden pill.
The Quindaro ChindO,cGn says :-s'For our
part we consider it 4 most Infamous dodge
an Internal swindle-a piece of unmItlgated
scoundrelism. 1t is mean, low-lived, villain
ous 1t has its origin in injustice; its chief
est feature is partiality; it is the latest man
date of the yiIest despotism-'
The Leayeworth Ledger says :-'sIt now re-
mains for the people of this territory to decide
whether they will accept the bribe offered to
them by Congress, or reject it, and with it
that budget of villainies. the LecOmpton con-
stitution. We have too much confidence in
the integrity of the people of Kansas to believe
that they will accept any such proposition
We believe that they would rather remain a
territory eternally, than TO come into the
Union under such insulting and degrading con-
ditions.'
The Leavenworth Times says SOUR duty,
as it appears to us, is plain though it be pain
fill. With that devotion and magnanimity
characteristic of the free state party, we should
drop all thought of existing state govern
ments; go, like one man, into the election
under the English bill, vote the land bribe,
with its LecomptOn appendage, into eternity,
and then urge forward emigration, so that be-
fore another year rolls arounl, we may count
oI, int
the confederation even under the high-handed
terms of the English bill.''
The Lawrence Republican says :-''As we
go to press, we learn that the Lecompton bill
as reported by English from the committee OF
conference, has passed both branches of Con-
gress-in the House by nine majority. Lc-
compton is therefore passed-provided the
people of Kansas vote to accept a proffcred
land grab; otherwise we remain in a territorial
condition until we have 80 900 inhabitants. OF
course we will remain a territory!''
The Atchison Champion says :-ssThs act is
the crowning infamy of the disgraceful action
which has characterized the Lecompton move
ment since it sprang into existence. Corup-
tion eliminated in this English amendment,
and fiendish malignancy hurled its last shaft
at the people of Kansas, in low insult to
their manhood and honor, by attempting tc
buy their manhood, and bri6e them to accept
this famous swindle with q few acres of land
They would rather remain outside of the
Union forever, than accept this Swindle OF
any terms. They hated it first from sense
of its injustice, and at every step in its pro-
gress, as the villainy which has marked its
successful consummation has grown more in
famous, their hatred has grown more intense Z;
they utterly detest its every feature, and scorn
the paltry acres Of land with which uDprinci-
pied men have sought to purchase their man
hood.''

An 'sAddrc,s from the Advent church in
N.York and Newark, to the church scattered a
broad,'' in which there is attempt to prove
that the advent of our Lord will take place
this year, &C., having been circulated in the
public prints, DR.. Hutchison of the N Y Ad-
vent Mission Church comes out and says they
have no hand in the matter; that they have no
faith in the teachings of the address and that
il is mainly the work Of Mr.. y. flavcl, of
Newark. who has set quite number OF times
for the event before. ssAdvcntists believe in
the near coming of Christ but they are not
to be held responsible for the diSjointed lucu-
brations of every charlatan spcculator, who
wishes to bring himself into notoricty by set
ting days or years for the Advent OF our Sa-
vior.'

a NEW PARTY Observation-Disclosures are
being adopted in the State of New York, to
effect union of all the opponents Of the Le-
compton fraud upon single ticket at the com
ing election. a circular has been issued uTg
ing the Importance of meeting of all persons,
without regard to former political associations,
who are now willing to oppose, at the polls,
the principles and policy OF the National Ad-
ministration. This circular is signed by the
most prominent members of the RepuOilcan
and American parties, and indicates clearly
the platform on which common organiZatloh
and common effort are practicaoic' Inc
New York Tribune gives the movement its
entire appreciation. 1t says :-'E"c hali with
Ioy and hope this cordial overture. This
State ought to send from twenty-five to thirty
ornaments of the Lecompton fraud to the next
Congress-. and elect State ticket and Legisla-
ture hostile to it by at least one hundred thou
sand majority. To secure this consummation,
a generous forgetfulness of obsolete differ
ences, and an earnest reciprocity of iconces-
sions with regard to candidates are all that is
needed.' We make the following extract
from the circular:
sTThe absolute and unconditional surrender
of the National Government into the hands of
the aggressive and intolerant slave power of
the country, by the National Administration,
as exemplified in its attempt to impose a re-
pulsive Constitution upon the people of Kan
sas, in defiance of their expressed wishes,
makes it the imperative duty of all good citi-
Zens, who desire to preserve the institutions
inherited from their fathers, to ignore all con-
siderations of selfish character, and to unite
at thu polls for the purpose of deposing an
Administration at once so faithless and des-
potic. As preliminary step, the undersign-
ed have cordially united with their feIlow-citi-
Zens IN calling mass-meeting, to be held at
Buffalo, on the twenty ty-seyenth of May, at
which an opportunity will be afforded for a
ifee and full expression of the sentiments of
the people OF the country, in regard to their
pohtlcal rights and duties. Satisfied them
serves that all personal and party considera-
tions should, at this time, be made subseryient
TO the public welfare, the UNDERSIGNED have
no hesitation IN asking their friends in each OF
'ne wards and towns In the county. to unite
with them in utter forgetfulness of the mast
anu IN harmonious preparation for the future
10 the end that the Government of the country
may oe wrested from the hands of those who
noy control it.'' N0

one of them at full speed, met upon the bridge
over the Sauquoit Creek, near Whitesboro.
The bridge gave way after the engines had
crossed, and the freight and passenger cars
were precipitatcd into the creek and piled one
upon the other. Eight or ten persons were
killed and between forty and fifty more or
