Admission OF Kansas.
SPEECH OF WIN. II. SEWARD,
In the Senate Of the United States March 3, 1858


[CoNCLUDED.1
Do you tell me that the slave States will
not acquiesce, but will agitate? Think first
whether the free States will acquiesce in a
decision that shall not only be unjust, but
fraudulent True, they will not menace the
Republic. They have an easy and simple
remedy, namely, to take the Government out
of unjust and unfaithful hands, and commit it
10 those which will be just aud faithful. They
are ready TO do this now. They want only a
little more harmony of purpose and a little
more completeness of organization, These
will result from only the least addition to the
pressure Of Slavery upon them. You are
lending all that is necessary. and even more,
in this very act. But will the slave States
agitate. Why, Because they have lost AT
last battle that they could not win, unwisely
unprovoked, fought with all the advantages OF
strategy aud Intervention. aud ON a field

The cambridge Rank.

While in Memphis about two weeks ago,
we learned, to our great establishment, that
brokers aud spectators were buying up the
issu, of the Bank of cambridge. at discount
of rs per cent! We say to the holders OF
these notes, far and near, that they are as
good as the issues of any bank in Tennessee
and will remain so. No bank in the State is
in a more sound and healthy condition, and
when the other Banks of tn State resume spe-
Gle payment, the Bank of cambridge will dc
likewise. Send us the issues for dues to this
office, and we will write you all down clever

that the fact of camphene being on the prem

/ vol l2mo. 81 rs.
In the following pages it is proposed to present an
outline Of what may be called the incidental attrac-
tons Of the Bibe-to forth its claims both as a
classic and a book Of general education. Regard
ed simply book Of learning, OF taste and genius,
Of history and eloquence, it has exerted influence
which cannot be too highly estimated and commends
itself to every cultivated understanding. II is the
book OF our learning, not less than religion the
basis OF or civilization, not less than salvation.
II has moulded into shape, it has quckened into life
the whole body of secular learning, well our
theology it has breathed its vital spirit into all
science, literature, legislation philosophy, and So
cia and political institutions.
1t is these attractions, which may be felt and ap-
preciated by the irreligious and worldly mind
ed which propose TO group together in distinct
and connected view Our object will be 20 speak OF
the Book Of God a production Of inspired genius
and classic taste; to reveal something Of mmeas-
urable wealth. as a field of knowledge and a mine OF
wisdom, model of eloquence, masterpiece Of poe
sy text book OF instruction; and thus 10 render 1t,
far shall be able, attractive 10 all.

British Outrages.

Secretary Cass' letter to Mr.. Dallis, May
18th, says : When all the facts have been as
certained, proper representations will be made
without delay to the government of her Cath
olic Majesty, against this search of American
vessels by the naval forces of another power,
without the Territorial jurisdiction of Spain.
The government of the United States is sat
isfed that the Government of the coutry will
adopt the most efficient means to protect
their vessels resorting to Spanishsports, from
lawless violence. Such protect on they are
entitled to, and if it is not secured elsewhere,
it must be found in the power of our own
country.
Mr.. Cass says he is not informed whether
any injury was sustained in consequence of
the pr, ceedings against those vessels if there
was, it is expected it will be made good by
the Spanish COVE. nment, or by means of its
intercesion with the government of Great
Britain. These fragrant outrages against the
U. States, he adds, have excited deed feeling
throughout the country, and have attracted
the attention of both branches Of Congress.
Their continuance cannot fail to produce the
most serious ef1ec. upon the relation Of the
two countries. The President confidently
believes the British naval officers, in the adop-
tion of these high-handed measures, have act
ed without authority, and have mistaken the
views of their Government; but it is not less
due TO the United States that their conduct
be disavowed; and percmtory orders be issued
to prevent tho recurrence of similar proceed
ings. You will communicate to Earl Mams-
bury the reasonable expectations of the Pres
ident, that this subject shall receive the i'm
mediate attention of her Britannia Majesty's
government, and that the officers who have
been guilty of these outrages shall be held
properly responsible for their conduct and
that where pecuniary losses have been sus-
tanned the interested parties shall receive just
consideration.

Plant q Tree.

Plant it anywhere by the side Of the road
in the yard or on the hillside, in any place
where it can take root and grow. This is
just the place for planting and transplantine
trees, and VIC hope every person who has ar
opportunity will plant at least one. Nothing
has contributed more to beautify our streets
than the pleasant trees which adorn so many
of them. There is still, however, much te
be done in this way, and we trust that oul
people will net let the present season slip by
without planting shade trees in those parts o.
our city where they are not already. To dc
so will not only greatly add to the beauty Of
our fair city. but considerably enhance the
value Of property.
1t has been said that a person who plants
a tree becomes public benefactor. This is
so and not only is he public benefactor in
the present, but he is doing good for the gen.
erations to come after him. Nothing adds SO
much to the general beauty of the country as
shade and fruit trees. They are also useful
as we'll as beautiful. They not only furnish
food to please and improve the human sys
TEN, but they furnish grateful and pleasant
shelter to protect the weary traveller and the
jaded citizen from the scorching rays of the
sun.
Trees have also moral effect on the mind
Who is there that has not felt the glow OF
happiness and joy to be experienced in sylvan
shades Each twig and leaf and blossom
seems pregnant with happiness as they bask
in the smiles of their Creator, and by some
magnetic influence this happiness is impaired
to the beEolder. The little birds congregate
in outrageous shades, to pour out their songs
Of thanksgiving and praise to him whose
beneiicence formed the grove and the forest
and no one possessing the 1.-THE of the soul
of a man can listen to them without expert
encing sentiment of good, and carrying with
him better and kindler feeling toward his
fellow beings.
Then plant a tree. If you do not live to
reap any benefit from it, some one else will
Plant tree, and when you are slumbering
quietly in your grave the monument of your
goodness will remain behind, to shower its
blessings on those who come after you, and
you will have left token that you lived to
some urpose.-Mlwaukee paper.

The Puget Sound Country,

If we were asked for an opinion as to what
portion of the territory of the United States
will make the greatest relative progress in
population, wealth and the development OF
its industrial resources within the next years,
We should not hesitate to reply "the country
about Puget Sound" The land is fertile and
is covered with dense and very valuable tim
bcr. The climate is ress-,ss, mild, and healthy,
bearing a great resemblance to that of San
Francisco. There are numerous mines of
coal; gold is found in many Of the streams,
and the whole country is opened to COM
merce by magnificent bay which extends
two hundred miles inland, and abounds with
excellent harbors, deep enough for the largest
vessels afoat. This bay, named Admiralty
Inlet at its mouth and Puget Sound in it's
southern portion, offers conveniences for in
ternal trade, unequaled probably by any
other bay in the world. There is no bar at
the mouth, and vessels can pass either way
in all kinds of weather, while inside the depth
of water in the channel is no place less than
fifty feet.
South Of the Sound there is level tract
of fertile land, over which a Railroad might
easily be made to the Columbia river, dis
tance of sixty miles and the Washingtoni-
ans hope that if they can get the Railroad,
they will get with it large share of the trade
of the valleys of the Columbia and William
ette-trade which now passes through the
difficult and dangerous entrance of the Co.
lumbia, where the steamer Republic was not
long ago detained for eight days before she
could get out.
The Puget Sound country had just made a
start it the development of its resources in
1855, when the Indian war broke out, drove
away the families, ruined many settlers, and
put stop to most of their Improvements
The damage from the Indians is now effectu-
ally and finally removed, and Washington
Territory will this year take new start.
The Sound already has considerable trade
for it's small population. There are on its
banks sixteen sawmills, capable Of turning
out 7OOOOO,OOO feet of sawn lumber annu-
ally. Its straight and tall timber is valuable
for spars, and cargoes of them are sent to
New York. England and Australia. The
farmers on the Sound have sent 6.00O barrels
of flour of last years crop to San Francisco
and this year they will send far more. There
are several fourishing towns in the Territory,
of which the principal are Olympia and Steil.

The Women of New York.

The following from the New York Ezpres.
gives gloomy picture of the female popula
tion Of that City:
The number of women in this city who
support themselves by the needle, is estima
ted at from thirty to forty thousand. OF
these about thirteen thousand are shirtma
kers, eleven thousand tailoresses and vest.
makers, forty-four hundred MANILA and cloak.
makers, fifteen hundred dress makers, as many
milliners, the remainder box makers and
those employed in various kinds of light
work. Of this immense array, not three
thousand have been employed the last winter
One establishment discharged, during the
financial pressure last fall, one thousand bands
in one week, and another eight hundred
The miserable pittancc of wages which the
greater part of this class can earn in ordinary
times, forbids even the hope of any provision
for the future. The average wages of shirt
makers do not exceed twenty five cents day
though good sewers and tailoresses and shirt
makers often get fifty and sometimes seventy
five cents.
When it is remembered that thousands Of
the shirts with linen bosoms, are made out
of the city, at twenty-five cents apiece, for
wholesale dealers, it is easy to see why fe-
male wages are at these starvation points,
When any garment that will hold together is
made for four, five and six cents, lamentations
for needle-women as class, in consequence
of the introduction of sewing machines, sound
strangely indeed. This boon among invcn-
tions has already cut off the supply of work
in this city quite one-half-while no cores
ponding gain in new occupations has taken
place, or seems likely to Immediately. Those
who have grown rich at the expense of the
needlewomen, but follow the natural laws of
trade, and could not be expected to be phil
anthropic to their own destruction.
No statement of the condition of women
is complete, emitting the fact-saddest of
all-that every year adds at least six thou
sand souls to the wrecked, the lost. Hun
dreds are perishing, because no way of earn
ing an honest livelihood is opened to them
when they need work. 1t is time, certainly,
that questions, involving interests so sacred
and vast, should be no longer wholly ignored
or fippantly disposed Of

WASHINGTON, May 81.
James j. Farran has been appointed Post
master at Cincinnati.
The balance in the Treasury amounts to
nearly S7,OOO00O.
The Utah news, though not fully credited,
nevertheless has some effect here.
Clancy Jones will not press the Volun-
teer Appropriation bill for some days, and
should the news be confirmed, he intends re-
ducing it one half.
The Texas regiment will be called out in
any event. bat it is probable that one if not
both the others will be dispersed
Letters received by the Iowa Senator and
Representatives,, confirm the stories of ex-
tens;vc gold discoveries in that State.
The Tariff Investigating Committee will
report on Monday or Tuesday. Nothing in
the report duplicates any members of Con-
gress.
Thorlow Weed has testified that March
23, 1857, Ezra Lincoln of Boston, paid him
$4,000, partly for services in forwarding the
passage of the Tariff bill and partly for the
expenses of the political campaign of 1856.
Of the amount received on account of the
tariff, not one cent was paid by Mr.. Weed
for corrupt purposes.

From Kansas.

ST.. LOUIS May 90.
Accounts from Kansas continue to speak
of outrages and robberies committed by
Montgomery's band of outlaws. Several
stores and Post Office at Willow Springs
were robbed ON the 1Ith. Heavy robberies
are also reported in different parts of John
son County; 300 families are said to have
been driven out Of Lynn County. Mont.
gomery holds a Captains commission. 1t
is understood that the band have a written
pledge, under which they are sworn to drive
all the pro-slavery men out Of the Territory,
and break up the land sales in July.
They are also reported to have said that
unless Gov. Denver withdraws the troops
from Fort Scott, they will proceed to Le-
compton and hang him.
