The Union says that ''the vote thrown in
Kansas on the 21st December is set down al
nearly secen thousand. The official returns al
the previous October election, when Mr.. Par
rott was elected delegate, exhibit an aggregate Of
little more than tacelue thousand. The falling
off, therefore, from the October vote was by nc
means as great as has been represented by the
black republicans. The unexpected magnitude
of this vote (occasioned partly by the desertion
of some of the Topeka men to the cause of law
and order) has, doubtless, alarmed the anti LIE,
compton party, and bad great influence in indu-
cling the more reasonable of them to vote on the
4th instant General Denver had taken all
the measures in his power to keep the peace on
that day. To this end he had issued ''pro
clamation." Considerable division is represented
to prevail among the free state party, as to their
future action. We hope therefore, after all, we
are approaching the end of the Kansas troubles

THE New HAMPSHIRE DEMocRAoY.-Th tele-

opposed to the Lecompton Constitution thus
taking sides with Douglas and Walker. We
presume, of course, that the Administration Or
eans all over the country will proceed at once to
read the Democracy of New Hampshire out OF
the Democratic church-for, in the language OF
our neghbor of the South, they have proved
themselves "apostates" and 'traitors," aiders
and abettors of Abolitionsm, and unworthy to
be longer associated with or confided in by their
brethren of the South.-Richmond Wig.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRR-On Monday night, the
4th inst, about IL O'Clock, the frame work shop
of the Virginia Central railroad company, at
Richmond, was destroyed by fire. There were
seven locomotives in the building st the time,
three of which were old ones OF small class,
which had become of little use, owing to the
heavy business now done, and the high grades
of the western part of the road. The compa.
ny's lathes, planning machines, and tools were
materially damaged, but the whole loss it is be-
lieved, will not exceed 100000. The building
was insured for $1,40o in the Va, Fire and ny
rine Insurance office. The origin of the fire is
attributed by some to sparks from passing To-
connective lodging upon the roof of the building

Annrnnriati ons 10 Pnblic Works.

Last week we complained that our Hlenu oi
the Vindicstor had made merry over our trlbu-
Iations with the tax collecters-now we are
quite overcome by his sympathy. 1t cuts us to
Quick that our neighbor should be so afflicted on
our account. We promise him, however, If he
will send for us the next time he falls into the
hands of the Publicans, we will condole with
him most tenderly.
The difference between the Vindicator ana
ourselves on the subject Of appropriations to IN
ternal improvements, is reduced to nut she'll.
We know, as the indicator says, that Estate
bonds cannot be sold at par none will be sold ;
but we apprehend that if an additional batch OF
bonds is offered in market those already out will
not so soon come up to par. Until the last year
or two the State has not raised enough money
by taxation to pay current expenses and inter
est on the public debt, but has depended upon
loans from the Banks. This is one reason, prob
ably, why the State credit has been SO low
Now, however, we are in fair way to recover
from the depression taxation has been raised
to the proper standard and unless some unto
ward event occurs (such as the Issuing oi hore
bonds) to throw us back, State stocks must
speedily advance to their former price, AS soon
as this comes to pass the State can borrow the
money necessary to complete the great public
improvements, without difficulty. If she at
tempt it before hand, no new bonds will be sold,
and not only so, but the chance of selling them
in any short time will be impaired, and conse-
queutly the completion ofthe great Railroads de-
layed, instead of expedited. On the whole, there
fore, we incline to the opinion that it would be
better for the State to take brief breathing
spell, recruit her finances end credit, and then
take fresh start with more life and yigor.-
But we cheerfully commit the whole matter to
the wisdom of the Legislature.

SALE OF C1RoAssIAN GIRLs.-The London Post
thus speaks, in a recent number, of the traffic
in Circassian girls in Turkey:
"Perceiving that when the Russians shall have
re-occupied the Caucasus, this traffic in white
slaves will be over the Circassian dealers have
redoubled their efforts, ever since the commence
ment of the peace conferences, to introduce into
Turkey the greatest possible number of women,
while the opportunity of doing so lasted. They
have been so successful, that never, perhaps at
any former period, was white flesh so cheap as
it Is at this moment. There is an absolute glut
in the market, and dealers are obliged to throw
away their goods owing to the extent of the
supply, which, in many instances, has been
brought by steam under the British flag. In
former times, GOOD middlng' Ciroassian girl
was thought very cheap at EGO, but at the pres
ent moment, the same description of goods may
be had for e."

mer, of North Carolina said, that Walker, pre-
vious to his late departure from New Orleans,
had given bail to answer to criminal charge
and then escaped. The object of the recogniz'
ance was to insure his appearance, and Mr..
Gilmer held as lawyer that Walker had
violated his bonds and was fugitive from JUS
tice. There was such thing in common law
Mr. G.. sale, as trespass without damages and that If
anything, was the character of Pauldings offence
in srresting Walker on the soil of Nicaragua
ssSuppose." continued Mr.. G., "Walker had gone
off with three hundred North Carolina slaves,
and had been pursued by Paulding and captured
lust after landing them on the beach OF Nova
Scotia. They would never have heard Southern
politicians complain that Paulding was getting
the nation into trouble"
Mr.. Haskin, of New York, said he looked up
on Walker not as a general, but as marauder,
and that was the view taken by the conserva-
tive national Democrats of the North. Our
Southern Democrats had better take care, there
fore, or they will convict their Northern allies OF
Abolitionism.
Some of the most respectable journals in this
State take what seems to us singular view OF
this matter. They have never countinanced
Fillibustering, and they fear that Pauldings
course towards Walker will only encourage 9TH
er enterprises of this kind; therefore they de-
nounce Paulding and sympathize with Walker.
Better far, we think, sustain Com. Paulding, and
there will be no occasion for many more such
vigorous onslaughts upon pirates and buccaneers.
