Keep Your Corn.

Fl Those most competent to Judge say that
the travel to Pixies Peak next Spring will
not be less than one hundred thousan
Corn now sells at thirty five cents a bushel,
about third of what it will be worth in
April. The early frosts destroyed the crop
in seven or eight States, and this wide
spread loss viii of itself raise the price of
corn TO high figure Inview of this fact.
and of the heavy emigration we are sure to
have. we advise every farmer to hold on to
his corn. 1t costs nothing to keep it, and
it will bring a dollar a hushel in April and
May. If our farmers continue to sell we
hope our merchants will be the buyers. A
large sum of money will be made, and it
ought 10 be kept in the hands of the citizens
of Kansas. -Etaoood Press. asa7 -.

Col. Brabson a Candidate.

In response to the wishes of his party Col.
r. b. BRABsoN announces himself candidate
for Congress in the third district His card,
which we copy from the Chattanooga Gazette.
is as follows:
Mr.. EDIToR:-In compliance with the
urgent solicitations of many of my personal
and political friends. / have concluded to
take the race for Congress in this District.
My political sentiments are so well known
throug hout the entire District. that deem il
unnecessary to make any formal exposition
of them at present. / shall equip myself
and go into the contest with determination
to leave nothing undone that man may do,
to achieve a signal triumph. The corrup-
ton and extrava gance of the time, admonish
the patriotic masses of all parties, of the
absolute necessity of thrusting the impotent,
ard treacherous Buchanan dynasty from
power.
Ny appeal, then, is to the honest voters OF
the third Dietrict. Let them come from the
mountains, the hill-sides, the valleys and the
coves, trusting in the justice of their cause,
and the honesty of their intentions; determin-
ed to hazard all on the issue OF the impend-
ing struggle; and we shall plant our colors
on the enemy's ramparts, and force him to
sue for peace in his very capital.
In short time, | will have so arranged
my affairs. as to be able to meet my competi-
tor on the stump; when shall. to the extent
of whatever energy and ability may possess,
take pleasure in showing up the misdeeds OF
the sO-called National Democracy, from the
White House at Washington through every
Department of the Federal and State Govern
ments. Respectfully Your Ob't Serv't

N We learn from the Huntingdon Pat
riot that a serious difficulty took place in that
town on the 25th ult., in which Mr.. r. 81.
BELoATE and Rev. J. N LNsEY, OF the
Lutheran Church were involved. The Patriot
says
The facts of the case. so far as we have
learned, are briefly as follows: Linsey had
gone to the Hotel with the view Of starting
home. when he was accosied by Beloate. who
requested an interview which was refused by
Linsey. Seeing that difficulty was likely
to ensue, Esqr. Rutherford requested the
parties to leave the house. AS they approach
ed the door Beloate struck Linsey with a
cane, who returned the blow. Beloate then
drew a Colts repeater and fred. The door,
which closed with spring. momentarlly
separated the combattants. In moment
however, the conflict was renewed upon the
| pavement in front of the house. After few
| blows were passed, Beloate fired the second
time, the ball taking effect just below the
| right sxilla and lodging under the skin near
the spine, infiicting severe, but it is believed
not mortal wound.
On the 26th, Mr.. BELoATE was taken before
an examining court for an Investigation OF
the affair; but, at the instance of his counsel
the case was continued. In his affidavit
asking continuance, the defendant stated
that for want of material witnesses he could
not come to trial-that recently during BIZ
absence from home, Linsey visited his house
and grossly insulted his wife, and also alleg
ed other acts of libertinism, which he ex
! pected to prove when the necessary witnesse
can be procured-that under the circumstan
ces be could not have acted otherwise than a
he did, without rendering himself unworthy
the appellation Of husband.
The Patriot states that LNsEY is in fai
| way to recover from his wound.

The ARIZONA ARTISAN WELLs.-By the
report OF Capt. Pope, who was sent out to en-
deavor to find water in the staked plains of
Texas and the arid regions of Arizona by
boring artesian wells, it appears that having
bored $50 feet in various places without find
ing water, he has abandoned the enterprise,
despa'ing of ever finding the liquid element
in that region.
There is something almost farcical in this
announcement. The fact of boring $50 feet
is considered as settling the question of the
perpetual aridity of vast sections of country.
Why, this work is not worthy the name of
artesian boring. The finest artesian wells in
existence only throw out bountiful streams
after reaching depth of 1900 feet, and we
know of no well of this character that only
reaches the depth of $50 feet. This feat of
Capt. Pope will not immOrtalize HIM o..

TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1859.
The Opening OF the Canvass.

The opening discussion of the campaign
yesterday. between the opposing candidates
for Governor, was heard by a very large and
attentive audience, which filled the Represen-
tstiv. Hall, in which they spoke. There
large delegation present from the surround
ing counties. of both parties. The debate was
G. characterized by all the personal courteses
and amenities which are due to an occasion
Of the sort, and the discussion passed off
pleasantly. We have not had time to pre-
pare the notes we took of the speeches for
publication. and shall reserve them, for
another day.
Gov. HARRIs's manner and style of oratory
is generally known to the people OF the State.
He vas qnite himself on this occasion in this
respect, aud even more attractive and pleas
ing than on any occasion we have before
heard him. He is earnest and fluent pausi-
bic and ingenious. Such attributes will gen
= orally command the appreciation of his parti-
zans and respectful hearing by his adverse
res He had the advantage yesterday of hav-
ing well digested and arranged speech, and
d livcred it with becoming graces Of Ian
guage. Having the opening speech, he had
unlimited choice of ground, and availed
himself of the right with commendable dex-
terity.
On the other hand Col. NETHERLIND is a
gentleman Of great plainness of manner and
speech. His style of address isquite different
from that of Gov. HARRIS, but quite pleas
ing He is more direct and ia probably more
effective. H is unambiguous frank and
open. and wears an aspect of sincerity and
honesty, which viii commend him to his
friends, and, since it is true and unaffected,
(. ought to win the esteem and confidence even
to those who are politically opposed to him.
His style is demonstrative, his PROPOSE
tons clear and logical, and his words in
the oppression of any single idea few
and appropriate. His illustrations are
drawn from commonplace objects, and
are of course, easily understood and forcible.
He will make deeper impression on the pop
ular mind than his competitor. The. people
will recnIlect his positions more wildly, and
will ponder them more thoroughly. He has
a fund of good anecdotes which be uses not
lavishiy, but pointedly and always apprOpri-
ately. He is always cool and seltossessed
and meets his adversary point to point. He
is not particularly artful, because he seems
TO have no use for art Gov. HARRIS, we
think. is the reverse in both respects. This is
a very brief outline Of the charac teristics of
the candidates for Governor.
As to the general result Of the days work,
our impression is decided, that NETHERLAND
had a manifest advantage. His cause was in
fuitely better than that of HARRIs, and
though the latter put the best face on his,
possible under the circumstances. the former
was most happy in exposing its unsoundness.
But upon this subject We will speak more full
~ tomorrow when will attempt to state
the leadin positions assumed by each.

MAILING LETTERS The PoStmaSter-C.p

MAILING LETTERs.-The Postmaster G en-
eral has issued a circular restricting mail
ing letters on the cars, practice now carried
to such extent as to prevent their having
sufficient time to attend to the legitimate
duties of their positions. In consequence of
this order, the safest course wills be for all
persons to send their letters to the postofices,
as they will be apt to have them refused by
agents at the cars, although the latter are
allowed to mail letters under certain peculiar
circumstances where haste is essential, aud
getting them into the posloffice in time is
shown TO have been impossible.

BALTIMORE, April %.

"Ion," of the Sun, says several ministers
OF foreign powers. now here. have lately re-
ceived advices showing that war in Europe
may and probably will soon break out.
Should it once commence, no one can tell
where 1t will end, or what countries may be-
come involved! If war be confined to France,
Austria, and Sardinia it will he of some ben
eft 10 the United States. Should ali Italy
and great part of Germany and especially
England become engaged in il, then it will
he of inealculable benefit to the United
States by giving US ready market for all
exportable commodities and profitable en-
ployment for our shipping. The only ques-
ton is, whether we shall have any surplus OF
breadstuffs to export
Flour could now be imported from Europe
at profit, and so abundant is grain in Eng
land that it cannot be imported into that
country from any point of the world without
I a loss. 1t would seem that the United States
is at present behind all the rest of the world
in agricultural productions of a kind neces
sary for subsistence, and our products do not
increase in proposition TO the increase
OF population and the extension o.
settlements in the West. Perhaps, however
| we may do better the coming season ia this
respect. and be prepared to furnish to the ma
lions OF Europe supply of the products o
our peaceful industry.
