The SEA.-The mean depth Of the sea
is, according to La Place, from three to
five miles. If the existing waters were
increased by one-fourth, it would drown
the earth, with the exception of some high
mountains. If the volume of the ocean
were augmented by only one eighth, con-
siderable portions of the continents would
be changed all over the globe. Evapora-
tion would be so much extended, that
rains would continually destroy the har-
vest, and fruits and flowers, and sub
vertthc whole economy of nature. There
is, perhaps, nothing moro beautiful in our
whole system than the process by which
our fields are irrigated from the skies, the
rivers fed from the mountains, and the
ocean restrained within bounds, which it
never can exceed SO long as that process
continues on the present scale. The va
por raised by the sun from the sea floats
wherever it is lighter than the atmosphere;
condensed, it tfalsupon The earth in watey
or attracted to The mountains, dissolvcs,
and rcplcnishes the conduits with which,
externally OF internally, they are all fur
nished. By these conduits the fluid is
conveyed to the rivers which flow on that
surface of the earth, and tothe springs
which lie deep in its bosom, destined to
be considerable diminished, the Amazon
and the Mississippi, those inland seas of
the western world, would become incon-
siderable brooks; the brooks would Who'll
ly disappear; the atmosphere would be de-
privcd Of its duo.proportion Of humidity;
all nature would Assume the garb Of des-'
olation; the birds would drop on the
wing, the lower animals would perish on
the barren soil, and man himself would
wither away like the sickly grass at his
feet.

topic, because consider the nSht Oh Sc
cession as by far the most important OF
all the questions involved in the present
controversy; and the attack omit as one
of the most insidious, as well as dangerous
blows, ever lcvelled at the rights of the
State, all of whom are deeply interested
in the issue; since those who are now the
aggressorss may one day be placed in a
position where it will be their only refuge
from the uncontrolled despotism of a ma
jority.
With regard to the cxpediency of the
State of South Carolina exercising this
right of secession, either now or at any
future period, it would, I conceive, be
presumptuous in one SO far removed from
the scene of action to offer his opinion,
or intrude his advice. In such crisis,
South Carolina must act for herssg, and re-
zy on herself Alone I would only observe,
that in taking step so decisive as that
of withdrawing from the Union, unanim-
ity among her citizens, or something
nearly approaching it, seems indispensa-
bic. 1t appears, however, that many dis
tinguished men among you, whose repu-
tation' is national, whose opinions are en-
titled to great weight, and who have here
tofore taken the lead in opposing the
'gempromise, believe that the time for
secession is not yet como; that the coop

Southern States is absolutely necessary

OUTRAGES BY q. 8. TROOPS IN
SOUTHERN KANSAS.

We find the following letter in the Le~avenworth
Times, dated
MAPLEToN, Oct. 25. 1850.
There is at present a revival of the excitement OF
other days in Southern Kansas. The scene is re-
moved a little further South than on former occa-
sions, but there is the same "irrepressible" in
vectiVe underlying it all. During the last few
days there has been an exhibition Of one of the
most barbarous spectacles, on what is termed the
Cherokee neutral Ian is, ever known in any civil
lied community. For the last six years, that dis
trict, which embraces an area some twenty five
miles by forty; has been filling up with honest and
industrious pioneers, who have settled there for
permanent homes, and in as good faith as any cit
izen of Kansas. They have made all the ordinary
improvements and are surrounded by crops and
herds. like the old residents in other counties.
A few mornings since they were surprised by
the report that the United States :rbors were on
the way from the South. to drive them from their
premises. In a few hours, the report was confirm.
ed by the appearance of the Indian Agent, whom
they call Col. Cowau, accompanied by q company
of cavalry, sixty in number, commanded by Capt,
S~turgess. They commenced Immediately apply
ing the torches to the dwellings of the settlers,
travelling n%orthward with their work Of devasta-
ton and ruin. Nearly all the settlers on what is
called the Light Creek Settlement" we're thus
visited by them. They came on Cow Creeks
branch Of the Dry Wood, and there showed the
same relentless spirit The news of their desiruc-
tive raid travelled before them, and the settlers on
Dry Wood rallied to the number Of three or four
hundred, who sent q committee Of conference to
visit the Col" The committee commended that
whatever might be his right to disturb the settlers
further south, that they, on tho Dry Wood, were
on what is called ''the eight mile strip" and that
they were on no part of the Cherokee tract, but
on lands not subject to presumption. At least.
they commended that the question: was 10 a meas.
ure unsettled, that they should DO allowed to re-
main until a new survey could be made; and the
whole matter legally adjusted.
TO hasten our particulars. something that they
call a treaty" was finally agreed to, and a writ
ten pledge was signed on the par: of the citizens,
that they would abandon that district previous to
the Goth of November next, provided the agent
would spare their dwellings at this time, aud
leave The country. Accordingly the incendiary
Withdrew, but threatened them in this wise as he
was leaving that, if every man of them did not
leave before the day specified, he would burn, not
only their houses, next time. but all their feed,
grain, and everything be could find valuable.
When this news came 10 our citizens 10 this
portion Of the country they immediately sent

OUTRAGE IN KANsAs.-A letter which we have
copied from the BeaoenDorth Times gives a nara
tive of the action Of the U. s.. troops towards
some of the settlers Of Kansas. 1t should per-
hups, bo taken with allowance, for we are sorry
to say that among some Of the settlers in that ter
ritOry there exists a feeling that the red man has
no rights which the white man is bound to re-
speot.' Indian reservations have been settled up.
on by whites, some, perhaps, ighoratt that they
were trespassing. The red mans rights should
be protected in Kansas, not with outrage, but
with such legal force as is necessary. Although
it has been urged that the soil of Kansas should
be preserved for free white labor it should hot
be forgotten that the red man has reserved lands
there, to which his right should be defended even
against laborers and settlers who wear a fairer
skin.

proaches complete extinction, the greater is the
prosperity Of the State. The aggregate popula-

1852 to 1I2.S47. But the slave population has
decreased, during the same period, from 2,29O to
1905. The population Of Delaware is but little
over one sixth Of that of Philadelphia, and there
are several counties of the interior that contain
as many inhabitants as she does. But she has

THE QUAKERS.

At a Republican meeting in Georgetown, Mass.
tho following song, entitled The Quakers are Out,
written by John G. Whittier, was read
Not vainly we waited and counted the hours,
The buds of our nope are burst out into flowers
No room for misgiving--no loop-hole of doubt
We've heard from she Keystone! The Quakers
are out!
The plot has exploded-we've found out the trick;
The bride goes a begging; the fusion won't stick
When the Wide-AwGke lanterns are shining about
The rogues stay a. home, the true men come out
The good State has broken the cords for her
spun
Her oil-springs and water won's fuse into one;
The Dutchman has seasoned with freedom hit
krout,
And slow, late, but certain, the Quakers ara out
Give the flags to the winds !-ses the hills al
ahame
Make way for the man with the patriarch's name,
Away with misgivings-away with all doubt
For LINCOLN goes in when the Qlakers come out
RGy-As an improvement upon these lines OIL
Whittier, an esteemed Quaker friend (who makes
no precautions to poetical talent) sends us the fol
'THR QUAKERs ARE OUT
The Quakers are out They had better stay in,
Than mix with the world in political din;
What tho the earth's potsherds together may

Leave President-making to those who profess
Of two evils duty points to accepting the less
Though somehow the less we chance always to

They have started, each one, for preferment AM

Constitu ,ional pledges his acts must control,
Pledges every true freeman should spurn from his
soul.
When the fugitive pants on the sluve-hunted track,
And trembies in prospect Of gibbet or rack.
The Compromise stands like q wall in the path,
And consignS him once more unto Slavery's wrath.
What a picture for those who belong to the school
Which calls Scripture it's only and primary rule,
Its exclusive standard Of practice and faith,
Aud for every strange doctrine-'The Bible thus

Tha. book which prohibits, with penalties stern,
Him escaped from his master again to return
Or the wauderer weary and lone to bewray
For vengeance is His, who will surely repay.
How can those who believe that to all outward

An internal teacher is added besides,
How can they, with such teachings, another
