Burning Of the Kei lucky Orphan school
To the Editors Of the Louisville Journal:

MIDWAY, Kentucky, Oct. IS, 1858.
Yesterday morning between nine and ten
o'clock the main building Of the Kentucky
Female Orphan School took fire. and in a
few hours was totally consumed. The
principal and the pupils were, at the time,
attending Sunday school in the village,
and many of the citizens had gone to fu-
neral some miles in the country. The fire
got fairly under way before anything was
done to arrest it. By the most determined
and persevering efforts of the citizens the
out buildings were saved. besides the whole
stock of provisions and considerable furni-
turc. The fire was communicated to the
interior Of the roof from the iue Of the
kitchen, as is supposed. The trustees ex-
pect to resume the regular academic exer-
cises in few.days. as the various buildings
on the premises, with little modification,
will afford sufficient temporary accommo-
dations to the pupils now in attendance
The buildings were insured to the amount
of 81, 600. The actual loss is not yet ac-
curately ascertained. but is not fully cover
cd By Insurance. l. L. PISKERroS.

Reasons for Special Session of the In
diana LEGISLATURE.

The public necessities which demand an
extra session of the Indiana Legislature,
called BY Governor Willard, are, accor-
ding to the Indianapolis Sentinel. to raise
State revenue upon the General levy OF
this year. to provide for the payment Of
the interest upon the public debt. to meet
Z the current expenses of the Government,
and to pass a law for the appraisement Of
taxable property Of the State to equalizt
and make just this pnblic burden upon its
citizens.
Some suppose that it is the old Lcgisla
ture that is convened by the Proclamation
but that is a mistake. The time of the ole
members. except the Senator's who wer
elected in 1856. expired on the day of tn
election.

his power for 'Free Kansas" satisfied with
this support of Pro-Slayery Constitution on
his part?
In November last at Lecompton while the Con-
vention was there forming a Constitution for
the future State against the expressed will Of
the people, with the intention of forcing it upon
them, through the aid of their party in Con-
gress, the United States dragons were there
for their protection. In December the first le-
gally-elected Legislature that ever assembled in
Kansas convened there and were welcomed with
flying flags by the masses of hardy yeomanry,
while the usurpers were protected by the bay
oncts of the United States soldiery, under the
direction Of Democratic Administration the
representatives of the people need no protection
but the moral influence of their constituents
What a contrast And what comment on
Democratic misrule in the Republic Think of
it, the Administration party attempting to
force an obnoxious Constitution, formed under
the protection of United States arms, upon a
people whose highest and only crime, is to love
Freedom better than Slavery
The masses in Kansas have not " bowed the
knee to Baal," they are part and parcel of
the true Anti-Slavery party that have the genu-
inc principles of Society and Freedom near at
heart they hold doctrines which go beyond i'm
mediate issues, do not bind themselves down to
miner matters, they are in earnest in protecting
and extending the liberties of this country and
every country through Gods heritage.
The people alone can rebuke the Adminstra-
ton party in their high-handed tyranny. Will
they do it? Will they have Freedom or slave
ry rule the Republic? Let them decide before
the Southern 0ligarchy has seized upon the vi
tails of the Nation and consumed them beyond
remedy.
Tho freemcn of Kansas will ultimately make
such demonstrations on the side of Freedom
that will make the President quake in his boots
and his Anticipated asylum of used up poll
ticians, commonly known as the Cabinet cal
for the " mountains and the rocks to fall upor
them " and hide them forever from the glare O
wronged and outraged people; for they ask il
earnest for free homes and free institutions OF
the soil Of Kansas. A. p.

The Abolition of Alcohol.

Brookfeld, Feb It'll, 1857.
MR.. EDITOR Il saw an article in your last
number, in relation to a resolution that WAS
passed at the State Temperance Convention,
which caused so much discussion. was pres
ent at the time the resolution was introduced,
which was done by the Committee of Overtures.
There was an amendment offered by DR.. Powers,
which was adopted, and on the next day an
amendment was also introduced by Mr.. Ora
ham OF Mortified, which was adopted favor
ed the resolution with the two amendments, for
the reason that the Temperance cause, in my
opinion, demanded it, Those who opposed its
passage, were most of them eergymen, and the
ground that they took was, that public opinion
was not ready for it, and that we must not 90
faster than public opinion. That struck me as
curious theory, for had always supposed that
the retormer went ahead of public opinion; but
| answered their argument, in my own mind,
in this wise: That they were afraid of reduc-
ton in their salary. Only three clergymen
voted for it, think, and they were Messrs.
Gushing and Ballou of Montpelier, and c. W.
Cushing of Newbury Seminary
Among its strongest advocates were Drs. Pow
ers of Woodstock, and Warner of Fairhaven
the latter saying in his remarks, that he did
not think alcohol necessary for medicinal pur-
purposes, and said also that he had prescribed
medicine for twenty years without using drop
of alcohol, and he had the appearance of being
a man that understood what he said
must say that never saw 50 much fogyism
displayed at any one time, as did by the oppos
nents of that resolution. They were all old
grey haired men, all professinn to belong to the
Luther School, advocating the theory that the
friends of temperance must not 60 faster than
public opinion. believe that Old Father Mat
thew, and other reformers started first, and
made an effort to bring public opinion up to
their stand If this is not the case, | hope that
those Temperance friends who opposed that res
olution, will inform us how they did start, if
they did not set their stake ahead of public
opinion. Yours for Reform.

A worthy correspondent of the Freeman adds
the following note in his last letter sc
would take the liberty to remark, that although
am called a Radical Abolitionist, approve of
your editorial, rebuking some of our good and
Jealous, but rather short-sighted brethren for
attempting to change our political Platform at
the Bradford Convention. Our Platform re-
quires no change. We might as we'll change
the decalogue because it is not lived up to, as
to change our Platform. This attempt, reminds
me of the following epitaph of very impru
dent man " was well-I sought to be better
II took physic, and here am l." Now the
poor man, who could admonish only by way of
his epitaph, might as well arise from his grave
before the last trump, as for us to abolish
Slavery after the dissolution of the Union, and
the Slave would toll on in hopeless bondage
The African Slave Trade would be renewed, and
the area of Slavery greatly extended. 1t would
be folly to adopt measures for future action
which would serve only to divide our party and
retard its progress, if not defeat the accomplish
ment Of its object. There will be time enough
to talk about the dissolution of the Union when
our exerti0ns are of no avail-when the last
shadow of hope has fled. Ash.

The Bradford Convention

FRIEND BoYcE In perusing your excellent
paper, the Green Mountain Freeman, noticed
call for an Anti-Slavery Convention, to be
holden at Bradford on the Goth and 9th of last
month, indicating 90 that there are many in our
State who desire to occupy higher moral plat
form, than that occupied by the political partes,'
which believe to be very true consequently,
my former mania for Anti-Slavery Conventions
was intuitively revived, and decided at once.
that (nothing in Providence preventing,)
would be there, believing it might be beneficial
! to Anti-Slavery men, and women, too, to meet
and stir up each others pure minds, by way
of remembrance" thinking probably, too, that
amongst other business to be disposed of during
the Convention, that our Legislature, (who
Justly deserve it,) might receive passing re-
buke for the summary disposal of Ant-Slave-
ry matters last fall" Accordingly, | took
stage to Bethel-thence the team drawn BY the
Iron Horse" to Bradford-arrived in due
time to witness the organization of the eonyeu=-
ton.
1t was indeed rather amusing, on discovering
the game attempted to be played, to get up a
new-fangled disunion Convention; but it was
no go. aver that the Convention became full
ly satisfied that they were I" barking up the
wrong tree 1t will be long time before the
Green Mountain State will be prepared to re-
vive and swallow all their fanatical hallucina-
tions. Brown (the fugitive) did himself much
honor in depicting the misery and cruelties of
the accursed demon, American Slavery. Rem
ond, Pillsbury, and Sloane, were truly eloquent,
and | most deeply regret that their talents were
not occupied in a much more consistent channel.
But the redoubtable Goodell was more than a
match for them all. His political and moral
views, as regards the present aspects and bear
ings of American Slavery, were cogent, lucid,
and to the pont-irrefutable
| think, with all due Difference to them.)
that when the Garrisonians undertake to make
another display of their dissolution dogmas,
they will select some other portion of this green
earth than the Republican State of Vermont.
The philanthropic and hospitable people of
Bradford appeared to enjoy the proceedings ex-
ceedingly. They turned out en- masse, notwith-
standing the thaw and bad travelling, and will
add, that the performance of their excellent
choir during the Convention, is not to be beat
en-. Success attend them.

Experiment with Plaster.

EDITOR FREEMAN..-Dear Sir: | give you
my experience in the use OF plaster, for the
benefit Of your many subscribers. In the
spring of 1885, [ planted two and half
acres of potatoes on greensward part of it
broke in the fall and part in the spring rows
three and half feet apart dropping cut seed
one piece to hill once in eighteen inches, [
put about a, level table spoonful of plaster on
each piece before covering on all the
field, except one row, which / lett with
out any, In autumn when dug the same
there was, in the row without plaster two
bushels in the row, each side of the same,
having plaster on them two and a half BUSH
els each There were on the piece 325 bush
es-credit to plaster 65 bushels the credit,
was owing to the size there being as many in
number, in the two bushels without plaster,
as there were in the two and half with plas-
ter. The soil was light loan inclined tc
sandy. i have tried several experiments
since with plaster and ashes, separate and
together, the results of nay experiments are
that plaster alone is better than ashes, but
both together are better than either alone
from experience plant no potatoes without
plaster. 5.
