bloodshed stories are greatly exaggerated, and that, as @ general thing, comparative peace and quiet reigns throughout the Territory. He | left there sinee the election of the 24th, and is. of opinion that six thousand votes were polled on that day..foF the Lecompton Constitution, with slavery, and about five hundred for the Constitution without slavery. His impression is, that, notwithstanding Lane's opposition to that course, the non-slaveholding State men turned out very generally at the election of the 4th instant. That, indeed, with scarcely an exception they voted in it as well as the pro- slavery men; and that the entire vote cast on on that occasion ranged between thirteen and fourteen thousand. We state these facts for the information of our readers who have as much difficulty asuur- self, of course, in learning to discriminate be- tween the true and the false in accounts of oc- eurrences in the, so far, ill-fated Territory : Wranpott City, K. T., Dec. 24, 1357. Dear Sir: Although personally an entire stran- ger to you, lam indeced, by the alarming state of affairs in this Territory, to address you 'a few hasty lines. Troubles are again thickening. ‘Th soil of Kansas is again stained with blood—an- archy and confusion—all manné? of social disor- ders are being reinaugurated. At the voting on the Constitution on last Mon- day at Leavenworth City, an armed body of Black Republicans, paraded and marched up and down the streets, ostensibly to protect the ballot- box, but really to aid their own party in illezal voting, and to bring on acontlict. They were partially successful fn the latter purpose. The finale of which was one man killed and several wounded At Fort Scott serious apprehensions are enter- tained for the safety of the citizens of that neigh- borhood from an armed banditti, numbering over one hundred. and constantly inereasing in numbers, making their headquarters on the 1.it- tle Osage; who not only resist p:ocess and set the laws at defiance, but perpetrate various outrages upon the citizens. So alarming is the condition of affairs in that neighborhood, that the citizens have been compelled to call upon the Acting Governor for the interposition of the military. ‘The troops bave marched, but I have not heard the result. On Tuesday last, a company of armed men from Lawrence went to Lecompton in martial array, and demanded of Acting Governor Denver the arms taken from them last summer a year ago. At first he promptiy refused, but the re- pot has it, that, upon a threat of taking them by force, he yielded to their demand, to the great mortification of his political friends. These lawless men are emboldened and ren- dered more reckless and audacious from the ab- sence of the military. In this connection, I wish to state a fact not generally known, and { derive my information from a reliable source: that the troops at Fort Leavenworth cannot be relied upon in an extremity. They have been tampered with, and three-fourths sympathize with these danger. ous men. They even aid the soldiers in deser- tion, upon the same plan that they adopt in aid- ing fugitive slaves. These troops ought to be removed to other fields of duty. and others, and more of them, especially dragoons, sent in their place. It is needless for WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tar Messace.—If the sensation generated among the public mem of the country now con- gregated here, by the President's mossage sent tw the Senate on the day before yesterday, be a fair criterion of its probable effect upon the American popular sense of right and wrong, it is destined to tell with more power upon the future policy of the United States than per- haps any other State paper that the exigencies of any period has brought ous from under the hand of an American Executive. With the exception of a handful of gentlemen who have committed themselves to very extreme views upon up the filibuster question, its every sug- gestion meets the entire approval of all now in national public life at the Federal Capital and where dissentients are found to any portion of it, as far as we can Perceige, they dissent not to the general conclusions as to his duties in the premises to which President Buchanan has arrived, but rather to isolated points in the policy of his Administration on the subject. That is to say, not to the ends he seeks to at- tain, whether with reference to the suppression of filibustering, or as to the legitimate progress of Americanism over the North American conti nent, which, as he so forcibly explains, must proceed hand in hand. But rather to his views of particular points of law involved in the general question. Thus some distinguished gentlemen, while admitting it to be his duty to repress the sailing of unlawful military expe- ditions from ports of the United States, con- tinue to contend that he must effect that object before they get beyond a marine league from our shores. We can only urge them to study more closely not only this the powerful State paper on which we are commenting, but the law bearing on the subject, in the hope that they, too, will soon come fo comprehend that the framers of our neutrality statutes and the interpreters of the laws of nations for centuries past, intended, in prescribing the rights and duties of Govern- ment in the premises, to accord to it (Govern- ment) the power to enforce those rights and discharge those duties. But we are digressing somewhat. The Mes- sage is hailed all around us as driving the last nail in the coffin of filibusterism, while it can- not fail to concentrate American popular sen- timent upon the true plan of making American principles and institutions, in due time, the blessings to the rest of the North American con- tinent they now are to that portion within the jurisdiction of thisGovernment. All who have been attentive observers of the signs of the times know well that we have arrived at that inevitable point in our existence as a nation— rapidly progressing in population, commerce, wealth, the arts, science, literature and national power—at which the principle of expansion be- comes an almost irresistible element of our national character. So it has been with every uation that has rapidly become great from a small beginning, if history, ancient and modern, is to be relied on. It is useless, all history tells. to essay to re- press the national bent to which we refer above. Tt can and should be wisely and philanthrop ically guided. as President Buchanan proposes. His eloquent and forcible views on the subject are hailed by the public men of all parties here as likely to turn the Southern popular mind from the wild propensity to violate law, rights, justice, and common honesty to give vent to the natural mania for expansion, and to lead it into the channel wherein it can surely accom- plish its purpose not only soonest, but under circumstances wherein it will prove a real blessing rather than a curse to the races whose condition and future it proposes thus to im- prove. Tax Berrer State or Suctety.—The North- ern journals, in their accounts of actual occur- renees around them, are constantly in the habit of disproving the allegations and argu- ments of those of them written with the erro- neous idea that the institution of African sla- very isa positive injury to the white laborer dwelling in its midst. We have, many a time and oft, combated that notion, in the Srur’s columns, but never 3o effectually as it iz eom- bated in the police and other similar reports and accounts which we often find iu newspapers most given to editorial misrepresentation of the sfate of society at the South. Below, we extract from the New York ‘Times a graphi ture of Broadway on New Year's Day, which tells a tale of truth concerning the condition of the poor in the “ better ordered”’ North, such as will hardly be credited by per- sons at the South who only know the condition of society there. where actual want is a thing utterly unknown by avy one anywhere from Mason & Dixon's line to the Rio Grande’s EVENING. STAR. WAS GYTON CITY: SATURDAY Ae Janeary 9, 1858. 17 Advertisements should be sent im by 12 o'clock m.; otherwise they may net ap- pear until the next day. j SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in two articles on the Kansas question, shows that the egnservative men of the non-siavebolding State party in Kansas are rapidly coming to acquiesce in the propriety of the admission of the Territory into the Union asa State upon the Lecompton Constitution, and that the opposition to it there is now only on the part of Jim Lane and his desperate fol- lowers; the rest, who were not long since op- posed to it, having determined to vote on the 4th, and thus, if possible, get control of the Bew State government, call a new Convention, aud amend the Constitution to suit themselves, if they can. The Intelligencer again comments, in high terms upon the President's message concerning filibustering, and feels assured that the popu- lar response to all its suggestions, will be very Dearly unanimous. ————-2+e-_______ {> On New Year's eve the famous Cowbel- lian de Rakjns Association in Mobile celebrated ifs twenty-seventh anniversary. The scene of the festivities was the theatre, where there were tableaux, feasting, dancing, &c. a ae apa iL Berdan’s Great Steam Bakery was inaug- urated in Philadelphia on Tuesday, in spite of the combined opposition of the smal! bakers of the city. The North American says:—‘‘Frem this day forth we shall enjoy the advantage of having the best possible bread at a: minimum price.” U7 The London Times bas a remarkable edi- torial denoting a wonderful change in tone upon the subject of slavery in that great exponent of public opinion in Great Britain. In effect, it jus- tifles the existence of African slavery, and urges England tothe adoption of Asiatic slavery as a recompense for the advantag:s lost in giving up the other continent as the field from which the labofers in its West Indian colonies were brought. I~ The case of Thomas W. Smith, charged with the murder of Richard Carter, is continued in Philadelphia and the excitement relative to it on Thursday morning appears to be on the in- crease. Long before the doors were opened the court room was besieged by a dense crowd, among which were several ladies, all anxious to obtain admission. The reading of certain letters of the prisoner produced an extraordinary sensa- tion, and showed that at least at the time they were written he was not in a sound state of mind. They are evidently the production of a diseased inteliect, and coupled with the testi- mony of the witnesses go far to support the plea of insanity. oe ee a Oe 1 The report of the Bank Superintendent of New York, submitted to the Legislature, recom- mends that no mortgages be allowed to be taken assecurity for circulation notes, to compel every incorporated bank gradually to replace their pre- sent cireulation by notes secured in the same manner as the free banks; to compel all the banks An the city of New York to keep — per cent. of their weekly deposits. ofall descriptions, in coin; special deposits in coin not to forma part of the statement.

Dr. James P. Donnelly, a young man well known in this city, and where he bas yet many warm friends who believed him innocent to the last, was hung yesterday at Freehold, N. J.,0n charge of the murder of Albert 3. Moves at the Seaview House in that State Donnelly was born in Warren street, New York, of Irish parents. He iss physician and surgeon by profession, and attended the University 0” Georgetown, PD. C., and the Hospital at New York. During the prevalence of yellow fever a Norfolk, Virginia, a few years ago. be volun- teered his professional services in bebalf of the sufferers there from that epidemic. He has spent aconsiderable time in this city, moved in good society here, and was engaged to be married to the danghier of one of our most estimabie citi- zens. The day previous to his death, he sent tel- egraphic messages to this young jody asking to see ber prior to bis execution, and she. with tr ‘woman's devotion, was most anxious to yo, but it was not deemed advisable by her friends. [e further requested, that at all events, some person from Washington should see Lim before he died, and in accordance with this wish a gentleman of this city, repaired to Freehold and was with Donnelly to the last Donnelly’s escape on Saturday night was donbt- Jens effected by persons holding responsible sitn- ations, and the matter is to be investigated.

Tur Case or Jupce Watrous.—This case being still before Congress, it may be as well to observe that a civil suit against parties of Texas and Louisiana, in which the reputation of this Judge is involved, is proceeding part passu in the Courts of the State of New York, involving also some most interesting points in regard to the respective jurisdiction of the Staie and Federal Courts, and the rights of the former in regard to any cause; which includes a question in real property beyond the bounds of the State. The following taken from the columns of the New York Evening Post of the 6th instant, will exhibit the state of the ease as it there presents itself, and furnishes an ap- parently intelligible summary of the matters in issue : Supreme Court, Special Term—Before Davies, J —The City of Brownsville in Litigation — Judicral Kraul —Juvisdiction Jacob Mussina and al. ag’?
