FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 5. 1858.


As has heen noticed by the letters Of Washing
ton correspondents of various newspapers, the
old hue and cry of danger to the Union is to
be again raised by the apologists OF the slavery
propagsndists, in order to induce acquescenee in
the latest and most monstrous fraud which has
ever been attempted to be perpetrated upon the
freedom Of the North. The Southern advocates
OF the Lecompton villainy, thinking they can
best succeed by such mode in the efforts to
carry their schemes, are threatening secession
unless their demands are acceded to by their
Northern co-partners.
Every one, of course, understands the hollow
iusineerity and hypocritical nature OF these APP
peals to the fears of the money making conserva-
tive friends of .iLiberty and Union at the
North; but the fanatics and uitraists of the
South, who resort to them, are so brazen-faoed
and audaeious in their manner, that a brief allu-
sion to them may not be out of place
The President, it is said, is giving these South
ern ultraists aid and comfort, in the hope of hav
ing more influence over them in saving the
Union," when it shall have become endangered
by allowing them to proceed, and secretly favor
ing them in their reasonable designs against the

Buchanan, surely, will become doubly entitled to
the fame and glory of "Union saver" in case he
succeeds to his hearts content in concentrating
so important transaction, during his sinale ad-
ministrative term. He can then retire to Wheat
land, covered all over with renown, satisfied with
having reached the highest pinnacle OF earthly
honor, with no desire further to mix in the per-
picking affairs of State.

THE WAY THE SuB-TREAsURER PAYS SPECIE.
The Collector of New York, according to the
New York Post, pays the monthly salaries of
SOL &c, not in gold and silver, but in Treasury
notes of less denomination than $500; so the
officials are obliged to take a government shin,
plaster of that denomination, and return the
change, S40S 81, in specie. This is the way in
which the law requiring call the transactions of
the government to be made in specie is construed.

A QUESTION FOR LAwYBRs-The Effects of
Kerosene or Coal OIL on Wheat.-it seems
that a ship at New Orleans took on board
lot of kerosene, consigned to merchants in
this city, and afterwards completed her cargo
by taking i'll a quantity of wheat. On the
arrival of the vessel in New York it was
found that the effluva of the oil had perco-
lated the wheat, seriously damaging it. The
wheat was discharged, and stored in ware
house, adjoining another building in which
was stored about twelve thousand bushels of
good white wheat. The effluyia from the
damaged wheat also permeated it, and dam
aged it to an estimated extent of about %
per cent. Disputes have grown up as to who
shall be liable for the damages sustained. -
The consignees of the wheat from New Or
leans claimed damages from the ship, which
1t refused to accord, and the former have
commenced a suit for the recovery of the
same. The owners of the wheat in the build
ing adjoining the warehouse in which the
damaged wheat was stored, claim damages
from the warehouse which received the iniur
edlwheat from the vessel As this is the first
case OF the kind which has resulted in seri-
Gus damage from the shipment of kerosene.
1t is well to note the fact, in order that future
trouble may be avoided. = e,o York Herald.

DR.. KANE AS A BoY.-His biographer says
he earned the character of bad boy, because
he was brave one, aud would not pocket an
aiiront from anybody. His FIRST notable ex-
plot, which seemed to indicate his future
achievements, was successful attempt to
make the ascent Of a tall kitchen chimney,
which rose temptingly above the roof sixteen
feet high. He had Inade up his mind that he
would seat himself upon the top of this tow.
eung pile, and, in order to accomplish his
purpose, he persuaded his younger brother
Tom TO assist him. After the family were
a-bed and asleep, he got out upon the roof,
ana by the aid Of a clothes line which he had
seereted for the purpose, he succeeded in ac-
oomplishing the aim of his ambition at the
imminent risk Of breaking his neck; and hav-
ing seated himself on the chimney top he
went back TO bed lie was then ten years
old, and like the similar feat related of Lord
Nelson. il indicated only boldness Of char.
acter which might in time ripon into hero
or burglar.

MOVEMENTS OF THE MEXICAN COALITION
The Vera Cruz Progreso learns by private
letter received in that city and placed at its
disposal. that the vanguard of the coalition
army, with Gov. Loblada at its head, would
arrive at the capital on the Dist inst, without
fail. The writer puts down the effective force
OF the coalition States, already in the field,
at $4,000 to $4,000 men, with ample provis
ions and munitions of war. Should this
prove true, the Comonfort Government is, ere
this, at an end. 1t is clearly impossible for
the President, with so much detection at
home, to contend successfully against odds so
great from without.-N. o. Picayune, 9Th.

CHIyALROUs VIRGINIA.-It is well known
that for years past the planters of Virginia
have been able to keep their heads above water
only by selling off from year to year portion
OF their human live stock. But not only are
the individual planters greatly embarrassed ,bnt
the State itself is very hard pushed. Unfor-
tunately, In this emergency the State itself
has no slaves Of its own to sell. However,
an ingenious device has been hit upon to
remedy this deficiency In this matter, as in
that OF slave breeding, the Virglnans have
looked to the coast Of Guinea for light and
example. The King of Dahomey not only
raises slaves for sale, he carries on 81 large
business in the kidnapping line and surely it
is quite intoerable that the ee and enlight.
ened Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of
Washington, Jefferson, and Henry should al
low itself to be outdone by barbarous Atri-
can potentate. Westward the course of EN-.
plre takes it way. The King is to meet his
match. NO longer content with breeding
slaves for the market, the Ancient Dominion
is about to produce, bred already, and of all
sizes and ages. complete assortment, from
pickaninnies up to graybeards and old women,
cheap at five dollars a head. There are. as is
well known, in Virginia some seventy or
eighty thousand free colered people, many of
them connected, on the fathers side, so it is
SAID, with the first families of Virginia. cir
cumstance to which good many of them owe
their freedom. 1t is proposed that the State
OF Virginia shall seize upon these geyenty or
eighty thousand persons, sell them and put
the proceeds into the State Treasury A bill
has been introduced into the Legislature of
Virginia to that effect. That bill proposes to
give the said colored people three years in
which to move out of the State or to ensave
themselves, at the end of which period all
those not thus disposed of are to be sold by
the authorities, and the proceeds of the sale
deposited to the credit of the State
There is one thing, however, which we
must beg leave to suggest to the introducers
and advocates of this bill. 1t appears to us
they are little incautious in some Of the rea.
sons which they urge in its behalf Not con-
tent with resting the measures on Bible au-
thorlty, and the great example of the King of
Dahomey, they must needs urge in addition,
that the free negroes, take them by and large,
are poor, lndolent, idle set, little better than
paupers, good many Of them pilferers, and
the larger part living, not by honest industry,
but by quartering themselves on the rest of
the community. But this method of living
is by no means confined to the free negroes of
Virginia. The number of white vagabonds,
drunkards, idlers, worthless persons belong
ing to that State is good deal larger than
that of all the free colored population put to-
gether. Why not for the same reason sell
them too? IN. Y, TTi6ane.
