7FFuture capita Of The united states.

The New York EEpTess contains some
speculations in regard to the removal of
the capital Of the United States at period
Derbans not so far in the future as some
mioht conclude. Where and in what State
will it be located Who can tell II cap
itals are located according to the geographic
ical centres of countries, as they unques
tlonahIy should be, then 1t seems to be GER
tain that Washington. being located wide
of the geographical centre of the United
States, cannot reasonably continue to be
the seat of the Federal Government. But
in removing the capitai-if ever it is re-
moved--the name should 60 with it,
There can be no substitute for Washington,
name sacred to every American heart.
Although there can be but little doubt
that within the next twenty years move
ment will be made to change the seat of
Government to some point more central than
the present one, yet it will be with the
keenest regret that the people of the old States
shall witness its removal. It will be diff
cult task to tear the Government away from
place SO intimately blended with the past
history of the nation. But the Great West
is filling up with its millions, while the old
States increase in population slowly; and

which superiority in numbers invests it,
and then resistance to its claims viii be un-
aysiling.
There are serious obstacles in the way of
removal, however, which may not be easy
TO overcome. First. the almost fabulous
sums of money which have been expended
in rendering the national capital what it is
to-day. How could the capitol itself be
disposed of SO as to enable the Government
to realize one-fourth of the money which it
cost? What mode can be suggested by
which the public buildings could be dis
posed of at a 1.-THE of their value by the
amounts actually paid for their construc-
ton?
Kansas City or ST. Joseph, in the srdina-
ry course Of events, must soon come to be
the centre of population, and then we may
expect to see those cities vieing with each
other in the strife for the possession or To-
cation of the new capital. The great State
growing up on the Pacific shores will clam
or to have the national capital drought
down half way and the welfare of the
coun try may require this to be done much
sooner than we are aware.

Horse TnieV1ng anu MURDER.
On Tuesday night last lady stopped at
the Burlington House, in this place, and re-
lated heart-rending story. She stated that
about two weeks since she was accompany
ing her husband from Iowa, from whence
they had recently emigrated, on destina-
ton for Fall River, in this Territory, about
fifty miles west of Burlington, where a
father and brother-in- law OF the lady reside;
that when they were encamped short dis
lance this side of Lecompton, one night,
some villain or villains stole their horses,
and that the husband, with another gentle
man, started in pursuit upon the discovery
of the theft, and succeededin tracking them
to a point about FIVE or six miles north OF
the Sac and Fox Agency, where they were
found; but before they had opportunity to
secure them, a thief espied the pursuers and
fred at them with revolver, sending one
ball through the husbands wrist and anosh-
er through his body, inhicting wounds so
fatal that he died in few hours. In the
meantime the thief escaped with the hors-
es, and had not been secured at the last ac-
counts. thskgh thirty men were in pursuit
of him.
The lady's name, as understood by those
who heard it, is Bags. and she appeared
nearly PROSTATE with grief. She was ac-
companied by ine-looking young child,
and the lady herself presented respectable
appearance. She was on her way to her
fathers, whom she represented TO be man
of wealth.

"Anti-slavery in the South

Under the above head we published in
the last News an account of a Methodist
Clergyman in North Carolina. who was
''boldly preaching Anti-Slavery in the
Pulpit" We have since been informed by
James o. Way, of this place, formerly Of
North Carolina, that the name of this Min
lister is Daniel Worth. and that he is res
ident of New Salem, Randolph county,
North Carolina-tbat he is connected with
many of the first families of the State, and
his relations are mostly Shareholders. Mr.
Worth was for many years membsr of the
Indiana Legislature, but returned to his old
home in North Corolina few years since,
for the benefit of his wife's health, and
since his return has been engaged in doing
an effective work against Slavery. The
Wesleyan Methodists, and Quakers, in
that section of North Coralina, are almost
unanimously anti slayery--and the senti
ment is rapidly increasing. Combined with
the religious sentiment of the community,
the anti-slavery principle cannot fail to
spread rapidly.

shrunk, from the application of his doc

Serious loss by Fire-Mound City Mills
ssi in ASheSl


Our town was aroused by the cry of fire
on the night of Saturday, the 9th inst.
about one O'Clock in the morning. It was
soon discovered that the Mound City Mills
owned by Messrs. L. Ellwood, Smith q Co.,
were on fire. A high wind was blowing
from the south at the time, and so rapid
was the progress of the flames tkat all eff
forts to save the property proved unavail-
ing. But short time after the fire was
first discovered the buildings fell with a
crash, and lay heap of smouldering ruins
The cause of the fire, and the nature Of
its origin are yet mystery. Extra pre-
cautions were taken that night, and it is g
problem which the future alone may solve
as to how the accident occurred. The loss
is heavy and serious one, to our fellow
citizens the Messrs. Smith & Co., and the
town has received an irreparable injury.
while the community at large will regard il
as personal calamity.
We are informed that immediate steps
will be taken to re-build the Mills, and that
in few weeks the company will again be
found scattering to the wants of the public
who have heretofore bestowed upon them
such a liberal patronage.
Our citizens held meeting and prefer
ed the willing hand of assistance, and are
determined to lend that encouragement
which may be necessary to the immediate
execution of this laudable undertaking on
the part of the Mill Company. Linn Cou'-
