unless the republicans should consent TO this
new indiguiiy, Kansas may be lrit out al
together for another year.
II Is stated that the president, after listen
ing to South Cardinals commissioner,
Hayne, gave him the cut direct in these
words :-"Well, sir, have been SO misre-
presen,edby gentleman from your state, that
decline holding any conversation with
any man from South Carolina. Return 10

Forty sheep one drove, at Geneva, n. Y,
were destroyed by dogs one night last week.
The fact that fort Sumter is built of
Quincy granite is said TO &C, as an irritant
upon the South Carolina rebels. They
look at it as an impersonation OF Mas
sachusetts herself, frowning upon and defy
ing their treason.-The dispatches that
passed between the traitor Floyd and Major
Anderson, the day after the latter had taken
possession of Fort Sumter, were as fol-
lows -
Floyd to Anderson-"There is a rumor
here that you have spiked your guns, burn
ed your carriages, and moved TO Fort
Sumter. If so, you have violated your or
ders. Answer Immediately"
Anderson TO Floyd-"I did spike my
guns, did burn my carriages, did move
my command to Fort Sumter, in the dis
charge ofmy duty"
Ned Price, the well-kRown "buffer,' who

A Quebec paper has the interesting item
that, while the American Union is breaking
up, leading men in Maine are preparing
the way for the annexation of that state tt
the British American Union, which 1t con
siders the most hopeful movement OF ih'
hour. Queer times these.
A dealer in dry goods in Paris has engag

Harper's Weekly publishes portraits of
all the seeding South Carolina members of
Congress. They are not as we'll erecuted as
as they ought to be.
William Aiken, formerly governor of
South Carolina, Gov. Banks rival for the
speakership in Congress, and the richest
man in the state, has been compelled to con-
tribute $4,000 to the secession fund. He
at first refused to pay, but the confiscation
Of his property in Charleston was threaten
ed, and he paid the amount, saying that he
should be better off as nothern carpenter
shoveing the jack-plane at two dollars day
than TO live under a southern military des-
potism. He has always opposed secession,
and will of course be robbed more unmerci-
fully on that account.
The Senate amendment to the Kansas

House, will have the effect to perpetuate
Judge Petit of Indiana. (Benton's dirty

Judge. 1t was against all precedent. but
precedent is nothing nowadays; and in-
deed how could the democrats think OF
dealing justly by Kansas without lacking
on some provision for their own permanent
advantage. The amendment was carried
by 20 to 20, Criiiendeu and Douglas alone
voting with the republicans against it; Mr.
Iverson, representing the seeded state OF
Georgia, gave the casting vote that decided
the matter. At best the bill will hardly be
reached in the House for two weeks, and

Mr.. Holt of Kentucky has been confirm
ed in his new office as secretary OF war, and
the interior and post-office departments
alone remain TO be filed to the first of
which il is said Mr.. Greenwood of Ark
ansas has been invited. The fight by the
disunionists against Mr.. Holt, kept the Sen

animus displayed will only add to the credit
which that gentleman, almost alone of this
administration, has acquired.

BSS- OVER EXCITEMENT, and the mental care
and anxiety incident to close attention to busi-
ness or study, are among the numerous causes
Of Nervous Headache. The disordered state Of
mind and body incident to this distressing com
plant is fatal blow to all energy aud ambition.
Sufferers by this disorder can always obtain
speedy relief from these distressing attacks by
using one Of the Cephalic Pills whenever the
symptoms appear. 1t quiets the overtasked
brain, nnd sOothes the strained aud jarring
nerves, and reaxes the tension of the stomach
which always accompanies and aggravates the
disordered condition Of the brain.

An EQUITABLE VIEw OF SEoEsTOg-l is
held by the patrons Of secession that each State
has the right to judge for itself Of inhaetons Of
the Federal Constitution, and Of the mode and
measure Of redress. and each State can determine
for itself when it shall or may dissolve its con-
nexien with the other States, and renouBce Us
allegiance to the Constitution and laws and
treaties Of tks United States.
Now, whatever may be the ldie on this point,
we wish to ask whether its practical exercise,
without any regard whatever to the will or in
terests Of the other States, can be pronounced
equitable in the case Of States that We (the
United SiA.es) have fought for aud paid Tor
We hear great deal said, and justly said, about
the ''common blood and treasuren expended ia
the acquisition Of territory, as furnishing a
motive for its equitable administration by tho
Federal Government. On this principle how
can the rest Of the country contemplate without
demurrer the ''secesson" of these acquisitions
that have cost US all so much, upon tho mere
assumption by any Of tho acquired slatea that

they would 'go out" We bought Florida.
