early years by the rugged teachings of ADVERSE
ty, seem to have been well prepared for their
high mission. /.
But the discipline of worthy examples, of New
England education, and of poverty and adversi-
ty, were not enough. The discipline of tyranny
was requisite for their perfection. This disci-
pline has been of use in all ages of the world.
David was not it to rule over Israel until he had
been hunted like partridge in the noun
tains by the enyious and malignant Saul. Bru-
tus was not fitted to expel the Tarquins until
he had endured their tyranny for years. What
would Moses have done, but for Pharaoh
Where would have been the Reformers of the
sixteenth century, where the Puritans in the
seventeenth, and the Patriots in the eighteenth,
but for Leo the Tenth, Charles the First, and
George the Third? But Charles the First lost
his head and George the Third his colonies for
less tyranny than has been practiced upon the
people of Kansas by the two successors of Mil
lard Fillmore. If we thank God for patriots, we
should also thank Him for tyrants; for what great
achievements have patriots ever made, without
the stimulus Of TYRANNY Without vice, virtue
itself must be insipid and without wicked and
mean men, there could be no heroes.
The brave man rejoices in the opposition of
the enemy of his rights. Wicked and mean men
are the stepping-stones on which the good and
great ascend to heaven and immortal fame.
These miscreants, cursed both by God and
man, subserve important interests. The sacred
volume which unfolds to Us the life and suffer-
ings of the Saviour of men, makes record also of
Pontius Plate and of Judas Iscariot as necessary
agencies in that great redemption.
So will denounce no man who has fought
against Freedom in Kansas, entirely useless
in the grand result. But what team to draw
the chariot of Freedom! Atchison and String
fellow and John Calhoun, with the two success
sors of Willard Fillmore to lift at the wheels.
There the hammer fell.

alton of this subject at the earliest convenient

steam gunboat Jasper, Lieut.. Com, Pym,
reported in our letter of the 18th as having
arrived at this port the day previous, re.
maiDed but short time, leaving in search
Of her consort, the Styx, at noon of 4th.
Lieut.. Pym, whilst here, spoke freely of
the recent boarding and searching OF ycs-
sells IN the Gulf Commander Rodgers. of
the y. $. steamer Wator Witch, visited
the Jasper, and from him we learn the
highly important fact that the British feet
have mol late orders from tlie British Gov
ernment to board our merchantmen. The
| commanders are themselves alone responsi-
BILE for what has been done, not the British
Goyernment. The orders of che Govern.
mcnt date as far.back as 1S49, and under
these orders do the officers of the feet claim
the right of making all merchant vessels
show their flags. They have made some
rich prizes of late, and these have urged
them to unwonted activity in their search
Tor slavers Lieut.. Ppm says the Ameri-
can Captains show great reluctance to OK
hibit their flag. He considers tia want of
courtesy due one friendly nation to another,
when isitedby an approaching vessel whose
colors are at the masthead to exhibit her
nationality, to pass by without recognition.
Sometimes the merchantman will run his
colors up and then suddenly haul them
down, and thus excite the suspicious of the
cruiser, who, thinking, by her strange ma
noeuvres, that she must be "a SLAYER proceeds

they determined to remain. III.
An old mountaineer recently arrived at

The UNION MovENENT.-The Union
movement at the North, we are glad to
see, is being viewed with favor at the
South. The Richmond Wing and the
Nashville Banner, both of them able, in
huential and sound Southern papers, en-
derse the sentiments uttered by Tom Cor
win, of Ohio, on the occasion of his re-
cent nomination for Congress by the Re-
publieans, and emphaticallya favor his
election. The Louisville journal, the
Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, and other
Southern American organs, have also
clearly indicated their hearty willingness
to mite with, the Republicans of the
North on basis as liberal and conserva-
tive as that which has for its REPRESENTS
tives and candidates suchsturdy old states
men as Tom Corwin.ao % l1is57-ai
1.-The Administration organs attempt to
ridicule and laugh at this fusion move
ment but their mirthfulncss is an effort
to disguise the fear they feel at a move
ment that threatens to overwhelm them
and sweep them from power. The sins
Of the Democracy have become insupport-
able, and the union of the Americans,
Wings and Republicans is the instructive
and spontaneous effort of the masses to
secure relief. Let that movement go on,
say we. Let the fusion be effected on a
basis of opposition to the financial mis-
management and prodigacy Of the present
Administration. and it will not fail to
meet with success in 1860.-S. LOUIS

The SOUTHERN OPPOSITION. - The
American journals at the South are moi
disposed to admit that their party is
wholly used up by the late election. The
Richmond Wing says:
"In view of the result Of the late cleo
ton, particularly in North Carolina and
Kentucky, what, we may be asked, have
our Democratic contemporaries been crow
ing over so diligently and vehemently for
the last week For the life of us, We
cannot tell. We suppose it resulted from
inveterate habit, and from an amiable
disposition to afford all the encourage
ment in their power to their distressed
allies at the North. And if they thus
exult, while actually sustaining losses,
what, in the name of Jupiter, would
they have done, in the event Of having
gained % y. .-..
"We can assure the South that the
Opposition are strong-and are growing
stronger and stronger every day. We
can tell it another thing-the prospect of
a union of all the Opposition elements
against the Democracy is bright and
Frightening, filling us and all true patri-
OTIS with iHdescribable Joy. We tell it
still another thing-the Opposition will
scarce leave grease spot of the corrupt,
bogus Democracy, in 1860"

The Gold.

In our paper of Saturday last we spoke
of letters having been received in thi,
city, which contained information at least
reliable. Mr.. f. A. Beauvais, of this
city, has favored US with the perrsal Of
one front his brother G. P. Beauvais,
who is well and favorsbly known here
and in St. Louis. From it we take the
following extract
clone STAR. X. T.. Aug. %.
On his return
from the Indians, he travelled through the
country now reported to berich with gold,
having been recently discovered and thus
far proved Of some value. Reports have
frequently come to ne of this fact, but
never placed any confidence in them; but
now my own men have seen specimens
of the gold found, and have also exam
ined the country, and the reports they
give me fully substantiate those. !. had
formerly received through strangers. b
l have also been in that. country and
am pretty well acquainted with it, and
firmly believe there is gold to be found
IN that region. and am quite certain it
will pay to work it, after those whe are
now there have found the most desirable
sections of the country to work i'm
Farther on in the letter, in speaking
of coming to the mines. Mr.. B. says
Il do not urge this thing, recommend
irg it as a good thing, but have every
reason to believe it will be after while :"
These are the words of "truth and So
berness," and as such we lay them before
our readers.-S. 10. GaEette, Sep. Is.
