LeavenWorth, Kansas.

For some years past we have heard nothing
of the growth Of the Cityof St, Paul MIN
nesota, which used to be the standing won
der Of the times. Chicago, too, has got wea-
~ of census taking, or. perhaps, took one toe
many. Hence the newspapers do not pun
the prosperity of either place as they used t"
and the need of some regular theme OF the
kind has been sorely felt. In this junetur'
Lcavenworth, Kansas, comes forward every
month or two, with fresh item showing
her expansion. A census has jus! been
taken there, and the place has 10, $50 lnhabi
tants. Four years ago the first house was
built. All the Kansas emigration makes tina,

nAnaIe Laurie"

Mr.. Chambers says the verses Of this song
which are in style wonderfully tender
and chaste for their age, were written o,
Mr.. Douglas, of Finland. upon Annie, one
Of the four daughters Of Sir Robert Laurie
first Bsronst of Msxwelton. by bis second
wife. who was the daughter Of Riddle, OF
Mimic. As Sir Robert was created naro'
net in the year l7s5, it is probable that the
verses were commenced about the end VI the
18th or the beginning Of the 18th century
1t is painful to record that, notwithstanding
the ardent and chiyalrous affection display
ed by Mr.. Douglas in his poem. he did not
Obtain the heroine for q wife; shs was mar
risd to Mr.. Ferguson, of Crsigdsrroch.

dered the building of two large ocean steam
ships within the past few weeks. in addition
to those which are now almost ready toI
launching from the Tyne. The two recently
ordered are already on the stocks at Hull, and
in full progress Of construction. Besides
this, Mr.. Lever has also purchased four ocean
steamships lately, but for what definite
object is not yet known Every possible
effort will be made to have the first of the
three vessels ordered last fall on the Galway
and New York line by the first of May.

A Dead Head.

A freight car was opened at Benwood,
Va, on the 9Th uit., which had been kept
closed since it had left Philadelphia, near

opened than out jumped q young man. who
took to his heels like greyhound. He had

The New York Herald SAYS THE new
conservative Opposition movement in Nir,
ginia receives new impulse Of encourage,
ment; and, before the end of May, We may
have the beginning of new diversion which
will confound the wrangling Democracy and
the e1ulting Black Republicans, and put in
active motion general and wholesome popu,
lar revolution. We are in the midst of the
spring freshets, and the broken fragments OF
the Democratic party appear 70 be drifting

Coolie labor costs less than Slave labor
Whether this report is true or not, matter
but little; it is certain that there is large
demand for lsborers in Cuba, and as the
landing of Slaves is attended with some risk
snd Coolies can be obtained without any dit
foulty. the Coolie trade will continue to be a
profitable one for some time to come.-N'

A District Convention.

Culpeper is, admittedly, in favor OF Con,
vention, and with great unanimity. Should
other counties think proper TO take the mi
tiative, and demand Convention, she Is pre-
pared TO follow. This was conceded by those
Of the friends of Gov. Smith who opposed q
Convention, on Monday. But we despair OF
anything being done, in that direction and
the triangular fight must 60 on. Our only
comfort. in the matter, is. that our course on
the subject is approved by nine-tenths of the
Democrats of Gulpeper.-Biue Ridge Rep.

ALEXANDRIA,:

SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL pIsTRIcT.--W
continue to receive the most favorable ac-
counts Of the prospects Of Nix. TnoNAs in
this district. In every county which he has
visited since his nominations, he has been
welcomed with enthusiasm by his own party
friends, and has obtained the respect of his
opponents. There is no disaffection. no
holding back, no disposition to extend To him
mere formal support, on the part of those
whose political sentiments he advocates but
n determination is every where expressed to
strive earnestly and zealcusly for his elections;
whilst many Of those who do not agree with
him in politics are ready to admit that he
would make a most excellent representative,
and are not disposed to detract from his
merits or depreciate his services. In truth,
these latter all must acknowledge. All in
this section of the state are indebted to him
for the efficient aid he has uniformly given to
the local interests of the different counties
since he has been member of the Legisla-
ture. If elected to Congress, the same eff
cheney. we doubt not, would be manifested
there. We trust that the feeling now ex-
hibited in Mr.. Thomas behalf may not on
ly be kept up, but increased, during the
