KANSAS TO BE KEPT OUT OF THE UNION
Hon. Schuyler Colfax, NJ. G. from the Ninth
District of Indiana, writes to his paper, the
South Bend Register, as follows, in regard to
the admission of Kansas:
+" | regret to say that itlooks probable that
the Democratic majority in the Senate will
resist the admission of Kansas into the Union,
although all parties in that Territory partici-
pated in the election of delegates to the Con-
stitutional Convention, in framing the Con-
stitutioa itself, in voting on its adoption, and
in electing the State Government under it,
Of course, all sorts ofpretexts will be alleged
for this rejection. But the real reason is that
it is to enter the Union decided Republican
State, in spite of all their efforts to the con-
trary, to strengthen the Republican phalanx

dent in a dry goods report for the week,
says the practice in the United States is to
follow French fashions, and those which
are the ton in Paris one season, become the
ton in New York the season following.
French fashions and French novels seem to
be most attractive to our most dressy and
light reading circles. The importaticns of
silks daily arriving are astonishingly large,
aud are closely followed in amount by
those of woollens, and next by those of cot.

week q man mined James Outan was
brought to the county Jail in that place on
tho charge of having stabbed young man
at Export, by the name of Joe CARRIER,
brother of Hon. John CARRIER, County Judge
elect. In the night the Garnavilloans were
alarmed by cry Of fire, and it was soon
discovered that the Jail was in danger Of
being reduced to ashes. The prisoner had
kndled fire between the joists of the
floor, thinking he could burn hole through

VIvE LA HuNsua The London corr6)
pendent of the New York Herald writes;
that the government of Great Britain has
appropriated 100000, about million Of
dollars, to keep up the slavery agitation in
the United States.
Inasmuch as this London correspondent
resides in Now Y FORK and is an attache of
the Herald Office, the statement amounts to
about as much as the sssensation'' reports
emanating from that paper 4gensrally do.
But if the report were true, We suppose
the Herald would ccne in for at least ons-
half of the f2O0, 700, as that paper does 80
much as all others in creeping up the slave
~ agitation in the United States.'

THE PEACH PRosrEoT.-An Ohio paper
has a letter from Butler county, in that
State, to the effect that the peach crop is
much injured. One grower says he has four
hundred peach trees, some four and six
years old. A close examination convinced
him that all the buds were killed, not liv-
ing one being left on the trees. The Alton
Courier says that the prospects in that region
are also bad for peaches. In many places
the buds are I'LL or nearly oil killed.

On motion suel Foster was appointed
delegate to the State Society vice the Pres
ident, Mr. Chambers, who can't go.
On m otion, the Board of Directors are
instructed to prepare and publish premi-
um list by LIST of April, said list to include
premiums of farms.
On motion, each director is requested to
make every effort in his own township to
secure u good exhibition, and the hearty
CO. operation of every man, woman and child,
for the coming year. J, o. WILSON, Sec.
The Secretary of the Agricultural Society,
That though the financial success of the past
year is not all that was hoped for, it is
nevertheless letter than the year preceding,
in the advance; for even the failure If Sue.
cess, has elected so much discussion, that in
all probability the future career of the so.
cety will be greatly benefited by the expe-
rience OF this year. While lamenting this
want of success, it would be unjust to at
| tribute it to want Of diligence to secure
it. From the first, the best interests of the
society suffered from the Indifference and
neglect of those who ought to have bee its
friends and the first obstacle encountered
in the attempt to secure good exhibition,
was prejudice deep-seated and hard to
overcome, against the society and former
management.
Much time was spent both through pub
lie press, and by word of mouth, to place
the society in ''favor with all the people,"
| and the Secretary believes with some sue
cess. The farmers and mechanics process.
sion contributed largely, very largely, to
this result. The exhibition would without
doubt have been very meagre, but for the
efforts of those who labored untringly in
this mat ter. 1t is not deemed necessary to
specify those to whom the society is most
indebted in this regard. L! is sufficient to say
they were farmers.
| Much feeling has been manifested con-
corning the uniting of the horse show to the
agricultural exhibition. Upon the morals
of the union there is doubtless much hon est
difference OF sentiment bu' it ought not to
| be forgotten that much capital has been in
vested in stock in this county for the pur-
pose of improving it, and encouragement
should be gwen proportionate thereto by any
society protesting to be the farmers friend.
In many instances no doubt mistakes
! have been made in tho management during
| the past year. But speaking for himself
the Secretary Is conscious of no defect in
good intention, or p, oper industry to Sc
cnre entire success, and that his effort failed
in any degree he thinks was because of want
CT experience, and that judgment which ex
perience brings.
The members hip of the society is larger
than any previous year, being now 246.
Tho report to the State Society has been
made by the President, whose experience
would make such a report of practical
value to all interested. Respectfully sub
mitted, j.. 0. WILSON, Sec'y.
