.y- The Memphis Avalanche, ofthe 18th
ult., says There has been trouble between the
U. S. troops stationed at Fort Smith, Ark,
and the police Of that place. On Saturday
night week, the police were attacked and
fired into by gang of troops. The police
returned the fire pretty warmly, compelling
the attacking party to beat hasty retreat to
the garrison, wounding six soldiers pretty
badly. 1t seems to be the purpose of the po-
lice to keep the troops out of the city during
the nighttime, which privilege the troops
do not seem willing to forego.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS SToLEN.-A bold
and extensive robbery was committed in
Baltimore last Friday, at the counter of the
Fnrmer's ard Planters Bank. A clerk OF
Enoch Pratt g. Brother called at the bank,
and reaching around the wire screen OF the
book.keeper's desk, placed his bank book aud
package containing $4,000 in assorted Vir-
cinia bank notes on the desk, and then left
the bank for the post office. There was
stranger standing near at the time, but no
notice was taken of him. The boOk-keeper
stepped for a few minutes TO another desk
for the purpose of entering some checks, and
when he returned to his own desk the pack

REvlvALs.-The Uniiarians, the Boston
Traveller says, are holding revival meetings
in the city and il is said they believe in them.
Revivals, or protracted meetings, were first
inaugurated by the primitive Methodisis,
both in England and in this country, and The
custom is still kept up. This sect claims for
such assembluges the result Of much good -
The fact that most other denominations 10
the United States have of late years adopted
this practice, is good argument oi their

WAsHISGToN, April LIN the Senate to-
day the army bill was passed, but with a sub
stitute for two instead of four regiments, ex-
elusive of that designated for Texas.
In the Senate, the Kansas bill was received
as amended and passed by the House. Mr..
Green moved to disagree to the amendments,
and this motion will be considered to-mor-
row.
In the House, Mr.. Stephens had scarcely
moved that the Kansas bill should be taken
up, when MIR. Giddings objected to its second
reading. In such cases, the rule requires that
the question shall be taken. On the rejection
to this disagreement, the vote stood, yeas 30,
TO nays 1877. Mr.. Quitman offered MS a sub
sttu,e TO the Senate bill, with the exception
of Pugh and Green's provso, declaring that
the people of Kansas have the right to alter
and amend their Constitution. This amend
ment was defeatcd bv a vote of 70 in favor
of, to l6O against it. The vote was then
taken on Crittenden's amendment as sub
stitute, which was further amended by the
anti Lecompton portion of Democrats in the
late conference. The amendment was carried
by eight majority.
The bill as amended by the House pro-
yides for the admission of Kansas, but refers
the Constitution back to the people for their
votes. If the Constitution is rejected, a Con-
yention is to be called to form Constitution.
As soor as the latter is approved, the Presi-
dent is directed to issue his proclamation, and
Kansas be admitted into the Union without
further action BY Congress. The House then
adjourned.

of unexampled power, just at the time that
our Republic is rising to the eminence Of one

millions Of dollars by railroads" We 40 not

ment and will add that the augment produc

doubly augmented in the same period for the

Union is annually gaining and settling new
States and Territories. These will require
railroads to bring the ever cumulative treas
urse of agriculture to the great cities and
ports of the East, whence they will be ship.

We are rejoiced to perceivs also, that In

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASE ApyUDIcArED

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASE ADJUDIcArED.
AS a matter of interest to persons living
on the line of railroads, we publish the sub
joined notice Of recent judicial decision.-
We believe n like decision has been pro-
nounced by Judge Glmcr in the Bedford
Circuit Court:
On the 9Th of April, 1857, the locomotive
of the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad
Company, while in motion came in collision
with COW then on the track, the property
of MIS-. Martha J. Jones, of chesterfield
MIR. Jones sued the Company for damages
and the county court Of Chesterfield gave
judgement in her favor. An appeal was
taken TO the circuit court. Judge Nash re-
versed the decision of the court below. lie
decided that it is the duty of every railroad
company to use proper degree Of caution
and care in passing all country roads that
cross the railroad track, and not only Ia
blow the whistle but to slacken their puce
upon approaching aud passing such places
and in the event of failure TO do so, TO hold
them responsible for all accidents occasIoned
thereby. But he could not hold the cOmpa.
ny responsible for accidentally killing COW
or injurng any other animal straying upon
the track.

cation of chapel in Brooklyn, there was no
"recognition of Christ as the only Saviour OF
lost men"-"no recognition of the inspired
volume as the sole arbiter of faith"-"no re-
coQnition of the Church of Christ os ap an

veniion of men of the Unitarian faith, who
are unwilling to hear the odium OF such
heresies,n which shall "lree Unitarionism OF
the churches aud ministers which bring its
name into discredit."

pool Mercury of March 9Th, says that the
weather from all parts of England is reported
as severe. ain many parts of Yorkshire the
snow has accumulated to great depth; some

In the southeast Of the island the fall of snow
has been heavy, and attended with accidents.
The Great Northern Railway was, at Gran

A CURIOUS PRESENT.

A gentleman residing in Brooklyn, was a
few mornings ago attracted to his front door
by a violent ringing of the bell. Going to
the door he found a large basket of my yster.
Gus aspect, containing very snugly folded
bundle Carrying this into the breakfast
room where his wife and children were just
taking their seats ct the table, he carefully
unfolded the package. Imagine the astoEish-
ment of the pater tdmilids on discovering that
it contained rosy, smiling infant of six
months. Imagine the wrath of the wife, and
the horror of the older children, when the
following note, pinned to the cherub's dress
was read:
4s FEBRUARY IA, 1858.
Dear Friend: On this day, consecrated to
the worship Of the tender passions, send you
pledge OF affection. You are the father of
the dear child, and hope you will rear it
with n fathers care. EmLY.
Pater FamiIias gets excited, strides madiy
up and down the room, swears by all the
powers above and below, that he knows
nothing about the babe, nor about Emily,
that he is not the father of the infant, and
will have nothing to do with it. His wife
replies that he may relate that little aneedote
to the marines, but that sailors will not put
the slightest confidence in any of his asser.
tions; that he is villain of the deepest dye.
Pater Familias rushes madlv from the house
and calls policeman. The policeman enters,
and is ordered to take the child to the station
house. He seizes the basket and is about TO
execute the command. Mater Famias inter.
poses. She has no idea of having her baby
carried to the aims house. Pater Famiias
opens his eyes. The children set up shout
of laughter at their victimized father. He did
not know his own baby, which his mischiey-
Gus wife had set outside the door in basket.
He had insisted that he was not the father of
his own wife's oaby. He had been sold at
very low figure. Great explosions of mirth,
during which the policeman retircs. Pater
Famiias resolves to devote more time to his
family, so that he may at least recognize the
features of the youngest. Mater FamIias
promised not to do so again. Curtain folds
slowly before a tableau of happy family de
molishing n sumptuous breakfast.-N. Y.

ses- The Charleston Mercury, referring
to the statement made by Senator lverson of
Georgia of rumor that Calhoun had given
over Kansas to the free State men, at the
insiigation ofcer,ain Southern leaders of the
Democratic party, calls for their names 1t
demands, and very properly too, that the
conspiracy should.be exposed. "ls there no
finger of scorn," says the Mercury, "to point
out to the people the individuals who have
done this foul ana fatal deed! Out OF WASH
ington, it was supposed that this perfidy was
the work of his patron, Mr.. Douglas, whose
power and responsibility was staked on the
issue of Kansas. Mr.. lyerson, on The tloor
of the Senate, asserts that it was Gone by
SOUTHERN MEN. We sincerely thank him
for the hint. But justice-truth-the honor
of the truly faithful members of Congress
from the South, require that these men
should be obenly exposed for the Indignation
of the Southern people and the condemnation
of their betrayed constituents"
