When he heard our Admiral was wounded, at
great personal risk he went on board the Cor
morant to see him. Many of our men slept in
the Toewan, American tender, on the night OF the
fight cigars, coffee, brandy, everything man
could want, was placed before them. The
American crew forgot themselves, and thought
only of the British.
A few days after the fight, Chinese junk,
with flag Of truce, brought fresh provisions to
the Powhatan, United States frigate. These

bond of American brotherhood was indeed
deeply cemented in our trial at the Peiho.

millions, at both sides of the Atlantic, who will
Join me in the fsrvent wish that that feeling
of brotherhood may take deeper and deeper root

The London Times, in an editorial in which
it censures Admiral Hope for his too great con.
fdence, and consequent defeat concludes its
remarks as follows:
at is more easy to found than to restore
supremacy, but in the execution of the duty
which devolves upon England and France, ii
is an unspeakable qualification to find that we
may rely, at all events, on the sympathies OF
the great Anglo-Saxon Republic. Whatever
may be the result of the fight, England will
never forget the day when the deeds and words
of kindly Americans sustained and comforted
her stricken warriors on the waters of the
Peiho."
Other English journals also acknowledge the
kindly sympathy of the Americans.

A VOICE FROM KENTUCKY.

GERMANTOWN, KY, Sept. Is, 1859.
70 the Editor Of the National. Era:
| feel much solicitude in reference to the
acton Of the Republican party in 1860.
Many, | see, are In favor of a mere Oppo.
sltion party-at best, simply non-extensiou.
| have for months had my attention d.
rected to this movement, and have noticed the
opinions of Anti-Slavery men here in Ken

desire for such party. With one voice, they
say Give US, this time, Representative
man - man who has some political antece-
dents "a man whose long and welltried fdel-
lty to the cause of Human Freedom will be of
'tself a guaranty, even should there be no
Platform. 1t seems to me that such only can
enlist the true enthusiasm Of the conscientious
and Godfearing-the men who called the party
into being, and from whom it ought to have its
most earnest support. / mean, the party should
be IN such an attitude as to command their
support.
What is to be gained by e compromise posi-
honY Certainly not one slave State will be
carried by it. The Slave Power is yet domi-

believe a true Anti-Slavery party, with a

from the old Democratic party, who are tired of
the present Pro-Slavsry Administration.

TROUBLES IN HAYTI-THE AssAssINAr1oN
OF THE PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER.-Letters have
been received by the Boston Traveller, which
confirms the news of the assassination Of Cora,
the daughter of President Geffrsrd. She was
shot through the head by the conspirators, from
the garden of the palace, while she was seated
at a table reading prayer-book. 1t is said
she was the victim of a plot, of which party
recently arrived at New York, was the snp-
posed head--for the overthrow OF the Pres-
dent-bnt il las wholly failed. The guilty par
ties, who are the followers of Soulouque, have
been arrested in great numbers, and will be
brought to condign punishment The unfor-
tunate girl who thus tragically persisted was
but nineteen years Of age, and had been mar.
ried only two months. In assassinating the
daughter, the conspirators thought that the
distracted father would have FASTENED to the
bloody scene, and they had ambuscades ar
ranged on the way, from which they would
fire at the President as he hurried by, and then
the villains would have had full poSer TO seize
the capital, and ensauguine the Whole country
Fortunately for the father, he suspected some
thing Of the kind, and did not expose himself.
A NEGRO GIANr.-Memphis is boasting of
prodigy, negro boy, nine years Of age, born
at Hickman, KY, and now the slave Of r. B.
Bone, of Fayette county, Tenn. At his birth,
he weighed l6 pounds; now, 80 pounds; and
his height S feet inches. He measures 10
inches around the smallest part of the wrist, "a
inches around the arm above the elbow, and ea
inches around the shoulder lie is able to
carry on his shoulders, with ease, 900 pounds
dead weight, and raise from the earth, with
scarcely an effort 400 pounds.
DR.. E. r. Barton, of louisiana, died recently
at Columbia, South Carolina. In the decease
of DR.. Barton, the medical profession is de-
prived of one of its most useful members His
reports on cholera and yellow fever have been
regarded among the most important contribu-
tons of medical science, while his report on
the epidemics of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar

illustrating the local and occult causes of dis
ease, the influence of preventable conditions,
and the control of science and civilization.

Nebraska in Favor of Annexation Il
Kansas,

The people Of Southern Nebraska have
declared Enthusiastically in favor of an
nexation to Kansas. They elected Dele
gates to our Constitutional Convention
by an overwhelming majority.
The Nebraska City News gives us the
gratifying intelligence, and we quote its
remarks:
The people of the great South Platte
declared on Tuesday Of this week, in ia
vOr Of annexation to Kansas, by their
votes. They have repeatedly done the
same thing, through petition in mass
convention. and through the press.
They have elected in every County
South of the Plate river Delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, for the pur-
pose Of securing the extension of the line
Of the proposed State Of Kansas to the
Platte river, thus incorporating this
County in the new State.
After giving some of the election re-
turns, the News adds:
No fair minded man. after this, and
who is acquainted with the fact that out
Of 1918 votes, about 900 have signed a
petition prayingto be annexed to Kansas,
affirm that this people is opposed to an
nexation.
We have heard from most Of the other
Counties, and learn that the Delegates
have been elected by even larger MAORI
ties than here. The Delegates will, of
course, go to the Convention, and we give
it as our opinion that the line of Kansas
viii be extended to the Platte river.

DoxIPHAS COUNTY.-Each day brings
new evidence that the result in this
County was no. a Democratic victory,
but that local questions decided the cleo
ton. The great hobby. as we have here
tofore stated, was that Railroad. We
feel confident that the County, politically.
is strongly opposed to Democracy. This
strength should now be reunited upon its
proper basis. An important election will
come of in November; and with proper
effort, the Free State forces can be thor
oughly united. Let the work of organi-
cation commence Immediately. that the
public mind may be fortified against the
sham issues and scandaleus falsehOods
which the Democracy will resort to, to
wheedls the unsuspecting.
One thing is certain i: if local issues
decide another County election, or if they
are put prominently forward, as at the
late election, it will smash the Free State
party to atoms, and probably the Demo
cratic party also. We are not certain but
that recent transactions created discussions
which will not soon be healed. Now is
the time TO set about the work, and lei
the past be forgotten. Neither party
can stand up under such issues as turned
the recent election and if they are agaiI
brought up, the issue will be the Northern
against tho Southern half Of the County
The fact is too plain, that the Northern
portion of the County has been sighted
for the benefit of two Southern Townships
If that Railroad is to be brought up again
its friends may look out for a terribl
whipping. This Township can poll NOR
votes than any other in the County

qualification from the result. Four Of tn
five candidates elect, owe their success t.
their interest in that Railroad scheme
and the fifth one would have been dc
feated, had there been another candidat
pledged to the Railroad interest. No on
can fail to perceive that the interests G
the whole country demand that such is
sues be dropped.

The Board of Commissioners.

This body is now in session in this city
1t Is, as our readers know, a Board that
was instituted By the last Legislature, for
the purpose Of investigating the losses
which occurred from the troubles of IS.
The i,lea. in itself. was a COOL one. None
are more DESTROYS than we. that those suf-
ferers should be amply remuncrateh. They
were the victims of gross outrages, Of I'M
paraIclled cruelty, of invasion, violence
and wrong. But there are grave Objec-
tions to the policy Of making Kansas re-
sponsible for all these losses. an we, as
Republicans, feel it imperative upon us
to take our stand against shoullering any
such responsibilities.
The General Government whipped on
the hordes that did us wrong. Federal
Administration set the damnable machin-
cry in motion. 1t was your Pierces AMI
Buchahans, your Federal appointeeS, who
perpetrated the heinous crime against
Kansas. And to that Power. and to that
alone, weshould look for the redress which
is our right.
We are informed that the awards Of tho
Board already ma lie reach the sum OIL
nearl y HALF MILLION. If we add to
this the awarl of General Stickler. the
amount is swelled to nearly 100000.
Is it right that Kansas should be over
whelmed with such debt as she starts
out in her career as State
1t cannot he.
The republicans Of the Constitutional
Convention must take, a we know they
will, stro g AMI rlerilei grounds against
such policy, which, If CARRIE out, would
prove ruinouS to Kansas.
The report Of the Board Of Commits
sioners should be rereive,l and investiga
ted by the Constitutional Convention. Il
should then be sent to Congress with a
memorial in favor of its adoption. But
in no way. and unler no circumstances
woulJ it be right to yoke Kansas will
such fearful debt.
The Republican party stand pledge to
the reference Of these claims to Congress
Let the Democracy, who are responsible
for all the losses. SHOULDER the burden o
payment upon Kansas. and thereby pIungc
our State into irreparable bankruptcy i
they dare
We shall take occasion to renew thi'
subject again.-LeaUenworM Times.
