Horace Greeley meets with a
Rare Slavery Extinctionist.

The following anecdote in connection
with the vcritable Horace Greeley, which
occurred during his recent passage through
st. Joseph, we think worthy of being pre-
sented to the readers of the Gazette
Mr.. Greeley, when about leaving fol
Leavenworth, was accompanied to the
boat by his friend Col -, of this city
where they met Mr.. W., a dealer in negroe:
between this place and the South. The
Colonel, with the affability for which he
Is characteristic, introduced the gentle
men. Mr.. W., with great warmth, seized
the hand of Horace, saying "I assure you,
sir, feel much bonored by the acquain-
tance of so distinguished gentleman, one
whom | have always admired for his talent,
apd felt grateful for his philanthrophy.-
Believe me, sir, you are doing much good
for the cause in this part of the country.
Accept the thanks Of an humble member
of society. No one feels a more deep in
terest in you efforts than myself l wish
you much success"
"Indeed,' replied Mr.. Greeley. "I am
happy to hear such sentiments, and to see
such men as yourself and Col. - where
| did not expect the least sympathy, in
this land where the iniquity of the nation
is so firmly rooted. God be praised the
work goes bravely on"
"With your aid," returned Mr.. w.
"slavery will soon cease to exist in Mis-
souri,. The number of slaves is now fast
decreasing" Here Mr.. G attempted to
withdraw with his new found friend from
observation. Mr.. w. continued, ~ am
myself doing something towards removing
them. Only last week took away thir-
teen"
"My good friend, how? where to p

you for the profits of my business. Slave
holders here sell me their slaves for half
their value in the South, to keep your
disciples from stealing them !"

MILLERs STEAM WAGoN.-Edtors Ala: The
wagon recently constructed 10y Mr.. Miller at Ma
rysyille, and designed TO travel on common roads,
under steam, is now attracting much attention at
that phIce which ! recently visited for the purpose
Of inspecting it while in operation.
Mr.. Miller has been constantly engaged for the
last two years in improving the mechanism Of his
wagon, and in satisfying himself that the principle
Of his invention was correct aud he has now the
satisfaction Of seeing the wagon finished, and its
operation complete success.
II is constructed TO move ON endless tracks, that
are laid down and taken mp as the wagon psoceeds.
These trIcks are carried round on large Whcels Oi
FIVE feet diameter 10 which motion Is given by the
engine. and the weight Of the wagon Is supported
on small truck wheels Of two feet diameter, which
rest on the tracks.
These tracks thus form a movable ralrond. which
is carried along with the wagon and furnishes tlN
rails upon which the wagon
The large wheels which carry the tracks do no
touch the ground, and serve only To move th'
trucks under the small wheels which hear th'

The message of the Governor was receiv-

states that the present debt of the State
is less than $4,000. The Governor advo-
Gates a protective tariff, repudiates the doc

Since Sally's chain has bound me,
Sad memory brings the light

THE MooN.-Dr. Scoresby, in an ac-
count that he has given Of recent obser-
vatiOns made with the Earl of Rose s
telescope, says:
"With respect to the moon, every OBJ
ject on its surface of one hundred feet
was now distinctly to be seen, and he had
no doubt that under favorable circumstan-
ces it would be so with objects sixty feet in
height. On its surface were craters of ex-
tinct volcanoes, rocks and masses of stone
almost innumerabe. He had no doubt
that if such building as he was then in
were upon the surface Of the moon, il
would be rendered visible by these instru-
ments. But there were no signs of in
habtants such as ours, no vestige of archi-
tectural remains TO show that the moon is
or ever was inhabited by a race of mortals
similar to ourselves. II presented no ap.
pearauce which could lead to the supposi.
ton that it contained anything like tn,
green fields and lovely verdure of thi,
beautiful world of ours. There was ne
water visible, not a sea or river, or even
the measure Of reservoir for supplying
town or factory all seemed dcsolate." "
