TIE ADMISSION OF kANSAs.-The Ad-
rainistration papers since the defeat of the
Lecomptou Constitution in Kansas, are
taxing the ground that "no new states
shall be admitted until they have $4,000
Inhabitants If their object is to get
up an issue on which to go before the people
they are making a singularly unfortunate
choice. II will be easy to meet and refute
the sophistry witch uses this pretext.
In the first place however proper it might
be to establish such a rule in regard to other
future states it is too late however to set up
a plea against the admission of Kansas
The Democratic party is already on record
as having admitted Kansas to be fully large
enough to assume the RI ghts and privileges
of a state. Mr.. Green's report on Lscomp-
ton in the Senate, and Mr.. Stephens Re-
in the House, secuted the idea that Kansas
would not be fully entitled to come in, on
adopting the Lecompton Constitution. The

ExrENsreN OF PoLYGAmY AMONG
THE MoRMoNs.-A correspondent
with the Norman army says:
"Whcn::we first arrived in the Val
ley, it was vaguely whispered around
that the church leaders intended to
renounce the further extension of
polygamys that if they were not
troubled or disturbed ia the enjoy
ment Of the many wives which they
now possess, they would NOT in the
future sanction the marrying of more
than one wife. W. hoped sincerely
chat such was the truth; but Il seems
that we are mistaken, and that this
people are still determined to hurry
on in their wild career of folly and
vice, and to carry out their destruc-
tive system to its utmost extent
On Sunday last, Ferramore Little, a
nephew to Brigham Young, married
at the same time twG young girls,
aged respectively 16 and II years
One Of these was the daughter of Jes-
Sc c.. Little, the name of the other |

this time, bat one wife, and she has

A DREADFUL AccIDENF-ExPLosIoN OF A

of Third andPoplar streets was thrown iato
an excitement by the screams of a young
girl, aged IA years, a daughter of AIRS.
Buckingham, residing in that vicinity. 1t
appears that as she and her mother were
about retiring to bed, the auid lamp, in the
hands Of the daughter, exploded and set
FIRE to her clothes. She then ran into the
street with her clothes in a blaze aad aroused

wrapped it around the girl and put out the
fame. Mr.. II: B. Brisbea, druggist at the
northwest corner of Third and Poplar
streets, was called to her assistance, bat
when he arrived she was burned to a crisp.
Mr. Rris5en did all in his power to relieve
her, and then called ia DR.. Dewitt c.. Tay-

SIC KLE RIoT.-Kilkenny, in Ireland, has
lately been the scene of riots among the
harvest laborers who are indignant at the in
PRODUCTION of agricultural machines. On a
late Sunday over 1000 persons armed with
reaping hooks, congregated in the city of
Kilkenny shouting and yelling, and fears
were had that they would sack the city
On Monday morning the rioters again APP
peared IN great force and resolved to destroy
ali the agricultural machinery in the country.
The rioters marched out of the city and a.
bout two miles from town commenced the
destruction of reaping machines wherever
found. Thus far they met with no check
from police or others. A Scotch farmer,
however, attempted to defend his machine,
was severely beaten and would have been
killed had it act been for the courage of his
daughter who stood over the PROSTATE body
and defended him with a pitchfork. The
magistrates of the city seem to have
been paralized and the rioters had possession

II slavery be the highest and best form OF
civilization, why should it not be propagated.
disseminated, and perpetuated!
Before. and at the time Of the adoption Of
the Federal Constitution, slavery was &C
kuowledged on allhands to be a moral, social
and political evil, alike injurious to master
and slave. Hence slavery was by unanimous
consent excluded from the North Western
Territory, and no man North or South sought
to perpetuate or propagate slavery an hou'
longer, or an inch farther than it already
existed. The diff Guilty was how it coult
be abolished without leaving both maste
and slave in a worse condition. Difficulties
= eth real or imaginary for many years pre-
vented any actual progress from being made
in emancipation, but still nobody justified
slavery, except as a necessary evil which
had been entailed upon US by a past genera

statesmen that sf this were true, they could
not sustain themselves for \ mome1tin seek

How many persons do you think We executed

horror of but one execution--the fearful mental
agony of the man who feels the rope around his
neck, and then the drop fall In that city We ex-
ecuted in cold blood thirteen hundred persons
In the Punjaub, where no outrage whatever was
committed, we executed .fUe thousand persons
read that myself in a letter from Sir John Law
renee Is it not awful to think of hanging and
shooting five thousand human beings? And it
this was done in the Punjaub what must have
been done in Bengal where rebellion really ragged:
Why, we seem to have put to death without mercy
any man who took side against u.s. For instance
a Raiah saved the life of Mr. Mitchell and other
Europeans But under compulsion as he said, he
aided the rebels. He was caught and hanged.
I knew the family of an officer of the Bhopaul
Contingent They told me that when the Con-
tingent mutinicd two hundred of them with great
difficulty saved the life of this gentleman and his
brother officers and also refused to march of and
take arms with the mutineers. Well,5 Gen. -
arrived. And what did he do, but put to death
these very two hundred men, on the ground that
they had fought against their brethren And
heard MIR Layard give an account of their execu-
ton, which was heart-rending to hear. A friend
of my own wrote home with glee how he had de-
stroyed eight villages. l read letter from a
soldier, who said that after wholesale massacre of
their prisoners, they flung the bodies in pit, and
covered them over. One Of them recovcd his

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.

1t will be remembered that We gave the result
of several experiments with the Chinese Cane last
year Among those who were most successful,
Mr. Robert Ramsay, of Iredell Co., was then men
toned and pleased now to have it in our
power to state the result of his labors with the
Cane for the present year. His experiment in 81,
satisfied him it could be made profitable, and ac-
cordngy he prepared for it-but sheds for his
machinery, kettles, &c, and confidently antcipa-
ted profitable result. He put down 16 acres of
common "corn ground" in Cane; and when it began
to ripcn. he started his mill, and continued the
work of crushing and boiling until he had finished.
He had 40 head of hogs to fattcn for pork, and to
these he fed the cane and seed, just as it was cut
from the field, and all the skimmngs from his ket-
ties were turned into his hog troughs. His hogs
fattened on it, and saved him nearly all the grain
he had usually consumed for this purpose
amounting in value, to not less than SlOO. He
made one thousand gallons of srup, which, at fifty
cents per gallon, amounts to $500 Thus we have
$500 for the crop, not to say anything about the
residue easily converted into excellent manure.
5000 divided by the number of acres planted, give
S37 SO to each acre, which, at the least is three
times better than the acreage of the wheat and
corn crops ofths section.-SaltsOUTy Hdtchndn.

years of age, and with her hair cut short to her

and boots, looks the youDgster of sixteen very

ScARLErINA AND MEAsLEs.-Mr. Witt, men,
Der of the Royal College of Surgeons, has publish
ed pamphlets, i'm which he states that bicarbonatc
of ammonia is specific for the cure OF scarlet fe-
yer and measles He cites Dr.. Peart, of Liverpool
and other practitioners, who have never lost ease
out of hundreds since adopting this remedy. Two
drachns of the bicarbonate Of ammonia are dis
solved in FIVE ounces of water, and two tablespoon
fus of the solution given every two three, or four
hours, according to the urgency OF the symptoms
No acid drink must be taken, but only water, or
toast and water The system is to be moved BY
dose of calomel if necessary. The room must be
well ventilated but the patient protected from tho
slightest cold or draft. Gargles should also be
employed for clearing the throat, The ammonia
seems to counteraet the poison which causes scar
Ietina and also acts on the system by diminishing
the frequency and at the same time increasing the
strength Of the pulse. As so many children die
! from these diseases in the country, this remedy
ueht to receive fair trial from the profession.
