| ToPEKA, Oct. 3.--No more notable
gathering ever assembled in Topeka thar
that which is in session to-day. From
all the great states in the central part o.
the United States, which feed the nations
have come the representative men de.
manding proper recognition from the gen.
eral government, and insisting that the
members of congress from the Atlantic
coast shall consent to the unloosening of
the purse strings when the wants of the
western people are to be catered to.
There is no attempt to deprive the east OF
her just dues, but the demand is emphat-
ically made that the toll gate on the great
pixies leading into New York, Boston,
Baltimore, Norfolk and Philadelphia be
removed. and that other and greater
roads be built, with termini on the gulf
coast, and that the ports there situated
be given portion Of the money belong
ing to them. In this demand an unex-
pected ally has bee, fcurd ia the Illinois
delegation, whicistp+omises the solid con-
gressional vote from that state for deep
water on the Texas coast. Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Wyoming.
and the southwest states will
all labor in unison in this effort.

Dor convention met yesterday the COM
mittee on resolution submitted majority
and minority reports. The former fav-
ored the establishment by congress of
deep water harbor on the northwest
coast Of the Gulf of Mexico. The minor
ily report asks for the construction Of three
deep harbors, one in Texas, one ON the
Louisiana coast and the third at some
place to be determined upon hereafter.

In the autumn of 1861. Morphy,

army near Manassas, was invited by
the Rev. r. Il. Harrison, Of Richmond,
to spend the evening with number Of

called TO a colorcd engraving entitled

OF Mcphistophclcs, engaged IN game
of chess with a young man. The
board lay on a tomb, and the guardian
angel of the youth looked down with
dccp sadness and interest upon the po-
sition Of the pieces on the board. The
young mans pieces represented the
manly virtues. and many OF them had
already been captured Satan's pieces
represented the tempting vices. The
position Of the pieces as shown IN the
engraving was one that had often been
studied with care by the Richmond
players, and the young mans game
was regarded as hopeless. The posi-
ton was set up in Morphy's presence,
and he asked if the position was cor
rect. After careful comparison Of
the position on the board and IN the

affirmative. Morphy then remarked,
in his quiet but always digniiied man

the young mans position and~yin the
game. All thoSe who knew anything
OF chess expressed surprise, but Nor
