CO The Yellow Fever is said to be ra-
gins more fearfuIly at Charleston than a
year or two ago at Norfolk, Virginia. 1t is
also prevalent at Savannah, Pensacola, Mo-
bile, Natchcz, and Vicksburg. Nor is it
confined alone to the cities-the plantations
along the Gulf coast and Mississippi river
are also suffering severely. At New Orleans
the epidemic still prevailed, and large
draughts continued to be made upon the
charity of the Howard and other benev olent
associations.
CO The City Council, at its session on
the 9th inst, elected LEW. S. Hills, Alder
man in the Second Ward, rice Henry ALLEN

The Golden Stimulus 10 Free Emigration"
"Free emigration," rs Eli Thayer defines
it, is the most potent agency by which the
course and character of our Republic are
determined :; and especially is this true now,
when the facilities for rapid movement have
been so immensely multiplied. By a natu-
raj and gradual expansion we possessed our
selves of Florida and Louisiana, including
all the vast dependencies of the latter, and
only the common motives which govern set
tiers and MISUNDERSTANDING of course
the ever active animus of slavery propa-
gandism-were required to make conquest
of Texas and bring it into the Union. But
with the acquisition Of large slice of Mex.
leo, rs Indemnity for the past and security
play to stimulate and modify the mig atory
movement. The discovery Of gold n Cal for
MIA acted like the magic in the stories of the
"Araban kn ghts." In the ordinary course
of settlement, that State, where now there
are five or six hundred thousand people,
gathered from the ends Of the earth, would
have been to this day a comparative wilder
ness, with at best Territorial government.
And the effect of gold was quite as remarka-
bic in moulding the institutions Of the new
State as in bringing its population together.
From the first the South regarded the coun-
try as its own-as favorable field in which
! to plant the "pecuiar institution
dreaming that its claim would be contested.
But behold, those rough miners, caring little
or nothing for philanthropic considerations,
having none but the vaguest notions of po-
.tical economy, declared at once and irrevo-
cablv against the ''nigger equality" which
the shareholders sought to force upon tn.
They wsre.too proud to labor alongs
bondmcn, and hence, TO the intense astOf
ment and disgust Of the slavery propaganda
lists, California came into the Union free
State.
Nobody now needs to be informed under
what extraordinary circumstances Stree emil
grafton pushed its way into Kansas. and,
against host Of enemies led on BY the de-
mocratic party and the Federal Government.
laid the foundations of noble free State.
Love Of freedom, an intense hate Of tyranny
enlarged patriotism, there supplied the place
Of the lower motives which snatched Cali
forna from the grasp of the Slave Power.
There she stands-at once trophy of VIC
tory over the meancst, bloodiest and most
desp!cable tyranny, and a sentinel to guard
the expansion offree humanity in the South
west. And it seems almost special provi-
dcnce that ust now thousands Of advcntur-
ers are rushing 20 the western borders of
. Kansas, led on By the same irresistible stim
u!us that peopled and made California free
he indivldua!s composing that multitude
have in general but one thong
they are the unconscious pioneers in laying
the foundations of Il new State, closely cor.
responding-if the auriferous deposits hold
out as well as the accounts promise-so Cal
ifornia. Agriculture, trade, the mechanic
arts, and all other appliances of civilization
will speedily follow and accompany mining.
Population will gradually move southwark
from the high lands Of Fixes Peakto the
sunny, fertile valleys Of the streams towing
thence. and almost before the country has
bad time to recover from the surprise occa.
stoned by the golden discoveries in that re-
gion, Congress will be called upon to organize
Territorial Government over the nucleus
of IA new State. which will naturally include
portion of Western Kansas, n slice Of New
Mexico, and possibly portion of the Indian
Territory. That the people will exercise
their popular sovereignty in excluding slave
ry from their limits is morally certain, and
1T is equally certain that their example will
act powerfully in securing like exclusion of
the evil from the Indian Territories, Western
Texas. New Mexico and Utah. Let 'frec
emigration" have full swing, and the aucs-
ton Of slavery extension will very soon be-
come obsolete in the sphere of party politics.
