The Legislature threw off its former
andwent to work in solid earnest, both the
Legislative and Executive branches, inclu-
ding the thanksgiving portion, having ia
ken up their abode in this abolition hole. I"
Many bills are being put through daily. Of
the merits or dement's of which I know but
little. About FIVE hundred lawyers. doc
tors and Judges (of poor whiskey, [ sup
pose) are here from Leavenworth City, lob
bying. What they want, l don't know;
and doubt very much if they know them
selves. The bin. which has engaged the
most attention tiile last few days is one abol-
ishinS the Land District Recorders Office
at this place, which was called into exis-
tence by the Legislature of 1857, if re-
collect rightly. 1t was established to ac-
commodate the people of unorganized coun-
ties at that time. The bill abolshing this
Office provides that there shall be person
appointed to make transcript of the Rec
ords in the District Office here, for each
county, which transcript shall be sent to
the Register of Deeds in the several coun-
ties of the Territory. There will be '"phat
takes" as the printers say, for some per-
sons, if the bill passes, and it is pretty sure
TO do it.
Mr.. Elliott has introduced a bill to change
the name of Breckenridge county to Day
ton. I hope this will pass, as every
person who is in the habit of doing
much writing, especially of legal nature,
knows what nuisance it is to write Breck,
&C., every few lines.
Pixies Peak is exciting considerable in
terest here, and as spring approaches, the
gold fever extends. Mr.. Sopris, the mem
Der from that region, think is making
many converts. He is sober minded, can
did gentleman, and his statements are look
ed upon as very reliable. l should not be
surprised to see greater rush even than
was witnessed last spring. Every body be-
gins to talk about an outfit, and provisions,
and such things. I hope the thousands of
infatuated individuals will have better
success than those who tried it last year.
AS an item of gossip, hear of "cali-
CO" ball to come off at the Eldridge House
tonight. 1t is quite novelty in the West.
The women are to wear calico dresses, and
look as washdayish as possible, and the men
are to dress la freman-no coats, nc
vests. and wooden or check shirts. Nc

EDS. NEWS: regret the seeming neces-
sity of intrudiug upon the columns of your
paper, with any remarks upon the all-absorb-
ing question of new counties, changing OF
county lines, &C., as they would undoubt-
eddy contain more interesting matter for
your readers generally but as it is cur
rently reported throughout the country that
we of the north part of Breckenridge
county care all going i'm for the forma-
ton of a new county, out of nine miles
rom the north of this, and the same from
south of Waubonsa, we deem it our privi-
lege, and our duty to the public generally,
to correct the misapprehension.
Now the facts in the case are, that not one
third of the legal voters upon that portion
of this county which it is proposed TO in
clude in the new one, have ever given il
any countenance, or encouragement, b. pc
tition or otherwise indeed there are those
who do not eUen knoa0 that there is such a
move upon the political chess-b board thought
of; and if made is made contrary to the
Wishes and against the interests of a large
majority of the citizens. They have become
identified with, and desire to enhance the
interests and develope the resources of the
county In which they at first settled Sc
Letting it not because of any partiality fol
the name 1t bears, nor because of the good
quality or any very great affection for the
prominent individual from whom it has in

wealth and its geographical position in what
it was supposed would be the future State

What the motive of the leaders in this mat

All I have to say, in conclusion, is, that

Richard Realfe at Washin gton.
New York, Jan. 81


The Herald's Washington correspond
snt says that Realfe, John Browns Secre-
tary of State, has arrived, and will testify
before the Senate Investigating Committee
tomorrow. It is stated that he declares
the act of Brown was separate from all por
litica1 organizations and politicians, and
that he did nothing to implcate any mem
Der of the Republican party. He will tes-
tify to correspondence between Brown
and Senator Wilson, fut be asserts that Mr..
Wilson denounced the proposition of Brown
to run slaves out of slave States as an act
of madness.
This probably viii induce the committee
to call Wilson as a witness.
Joshua R. Gddings and John Brown, j.,
A. M. and A. Lawrence, and Mr.. Sanford,
of Mass, will be subpenaed As well.
Realfe is looked upon as a most import
ant witness, as he has indicated that he will
make clean breast of the affair, and it is
understood he will implicate prominent per-
sons in New York and in New England.

The HarpeTs Ferry Investigating Come
~ Tniffaa

NEW YoRK, Jan. "a. )
The Tribune's Washington Correspond
dent says, of the Harper's Ferry investi-
CATION No testimony has been before the
Committee of Investigation in any way inn
plicating Republicans with John Brown s
raid. z
Mr. Realfe states emphatieally that the
movement was known to but few persons,
I as Brown was secretive man and kept his
own counsels. None who accompanied
him to Harper's Ferry but kagi was in
formed of the plan. He says also that
Brown and those IN his confidence were
radical abolitionists who denounced the Re-
pubIicans. When Senator Wilson made
his speech in Lawrence, Kansas, they as
sailed him forsfaihng to approach the stand
ard of duty.Ei 81 u fSttI tsIfa -
Mr. Wilson appeared before the Commit
tee and stated he had written to DR.. Howe,
of Boston, for the original letter which had
been referred to by Reaffe. That letter was
written in May, 1853, and substantially tells
DIR. Howe that information had reached
him to the effect that Brown intended using
the arms furnished for Kansas by the Mas
sachusette Aid Society, in manner not
contemplated, and advises that they should
be Withdrawn from him.
Mr.. Blair, of Collinsyille. who n1anpfac-
tured the pixies which figured at Harper's
Ferry, states that they were ordered during
the Kansas troubles as weapons of protec-
| ton.
Mr.. Calender, cashier of the bank at
Hartford, proves that Brown had friends
there who were drawn en- to furnish sup
plies for Kansas. He never had the remot-
est idea of the movement in Virginia till it
was published.
Tbs Herald's correspondent says Realfe
concluded his testimony before the 1nvesti-
eating Committee to-day. 1t was detailed
account of tie organization of the Brown
Provisional government in Canada, which
has already been published. He certified
that he went to England in 1868, and knew
nothing about Browns operations after that
time. He was requested to examine GER
tain letters found in Browns carpet bag, to
see if he could identify them, but he testi-
ed that he knew nothing of Browns cor
respondence or the authorship of the>letters
1t is evident that some members of the Com
mittee have been disappointed in Realizes
testimony. he having testified TO nothing OF
any importance that was not before in evil
dence.
Mr.. B. B. Newton, the Vermont mem
Der of the National Kansas Committee, and
previously the leader of the Colony at Ma
pleton, Bourbon county, Kansas, confirmed
the testimony of Mr.. Corning as to the re-
fusal of the National Committee to furnish
arms to Brown in 1857, when he commenced
testifying in relation to the invasion of Kan
sas by armed bodies of men, and was stop
ped.
Senator Wilson went before the commit
tee to-day, and informed them that at some
future time he would produce copy Of
the letter to DIR. Howe, concerning the
movements of Brown, based upon the in
formation he received from Col. Forbes
He sent to Natick for it. The Chairman
informed him they were willing to give him
his own time to prepare the testimony.

No cruelty in slavery! Good and only
good"
This driver would to a stranger. appear
to be the victim of uncomfortable rage:
but it was not so; it was policy, not pas
sion. that governed him. His object was
to stimulate the fear of his slaves to the
highest point Of efficiency. Enter into
private conversation with him. even while
he IS affecting all this rage and fury to.
wards his slaves. and you will find him
perfectly bland and unexcited. More than
that, this savag, overscer might have been
taken for model gentlemen Of the South
ern SCHOOL, intelligent. dignifed. affabIe,
of polished manners. genial. courteous,
generous and hospitablc. In his profession
he ranked No /; commanded salary of
$500 BY his wise and efficient manage
ment. won the respect of wide circle OF
cotton-growing acquaintance. and was ex-
tensively quoted. and gazetted even for his
model plantation and model management.
If the reader should know how he acouir-
ed so amablc reputation. have only to
refer him to scenes similar to the one
above described. as prominent among the
causes that built him up. Had he been a
lenient or indulgent slave-driver, his fame
and his fortune would have come up mi
nus. As man of business. shrcwdness
and energy. he understood this well, and
was unwilling to sacrifice his interest to
his humanity. Hence his cruelties are to
be fathered upon the system rather than
upon the man. tffi 80 ~

Here is the main charge which Mr..
Yancey of Alabama brings against Mr..
Lincoln:
"Put him in power and he will build up
an Abolition party in every Southern
State-there is no doubt Of it, There are
men who will take Office and will come to
sympathize with his views in time"
After all this is not very serious charge.
We presume Mr.. Lincoln will by his just
and conservative policy in the administra-
ton Of the Government, dissipate to o
great extent the prejudices and erroneous
views held by the Southern people con-
corning Republicanism. and thus build up
the party in every State of the Union
This is what the Shamocrats both South
and North most dread. as il will not only
stop their cry of sectional party" but al
so the reign of intolerance and terror in
the South.
