Ib re, however, 'he vote ol Kansas in the United S ales Si nale becomes all. important, nnrl justified the estimate of Mr. Atchison ; for il I m s s- !k; admitted us a free State, the Senatorial 'balance of power" is so far lost to the South that i bey need nl count upon another Southern State, ev n from the territories of Mexico.

I'he whole dead weight of the an'i- I slavery aeiiation o f tlie Inst fo.ty years will hp ' j concentrated upon In field versus Reeder ; and while the anH-slavery element ol the North h:is become strong and reckless in the II u-e, the Sooth are becoming the more resolute and ties Iterate in the defence of Ui-ir yit-d in sti tot inns. Consequently we contemplate the meeting of Con gress with misgivings of discordant, belligerent and revolutionary scenes such as wc never "yet have experienci A. illuveiiii'iih in Niearasna Walker in 1'osscgftioit of tlie Coantiy. The steiiiiKiiip Star o( the yest, of the Nicara guan lin". reached New York on Saturday after noon. The news from Nicaragua is ol more than ordinary i.Oiporta uce.

Tlie Leavenworth Territorial Register chronicles, the arrival there of an agent, representing about five thousand Ger mans ami Irish, resident '.n Kentucky, in Louis ville and other towns, who a-e about to emigrate to Kansas on account of the Know Nothing trou bh s in Kentucky. They are artizans, and many of I hem have considerable means. The ''Srju al ters Convention," to form a Stale cons.titutionJ was in session in Topeka at the last accounts. Flow nf Specie to tins Country. One of the Correspondents of the Baltimore Sun expresses ;he opinion that lhe stringency of the money mar kets of France and England is not likely to cause permanent pressure in this country. He adds "large funds, in gold, are about to be remitted to this country from England, for the purchase of breadstuffs, and the same will be the case with France. The tide ol specie currency will set this way after u while, if the war continues, notwith standing our extravagant importations. The hol ders of sound American securities abroad will not part with them ; and lhe doubtful ones are as good there as here, and will not be returned to us." Horkiule MiiiDi it. A tragedy of a most , bloody character took place at Ml. Pleasant, Ten nessee, on tiie 8 h ult. A wealthy planter, nam ed Deiison R. Moore, while in a s'nte ol intoxica tion, entered Ins yard, and drawing a pistol delib erately fired at his daughter. The ball missed, and a son ol Moore rushed forward to prevent an other at hts sisn-r, upon which the drunken father fired upon him. kniing him instantly. The mur derer 'hen retired into an adjoining lot, ami con cealing himself in I ha grass, attempted suicide by severing the arteries of both arms. He was dis covered before b'eedmg to death, and his wounds dressed. Ha was then taken to prison. A L ire Yield of Wheat. Mr. J. A.

The report that the Russians had blown up the fortilicntions at Oschahor, is confirmed. Tlie Alio s had reconnoitred up the Dnieper nearly to tJicolae.fi. Advices from Sebatopol show that the Allies were advancing with large forces, while the Rus sians retired in good order on their fortified posi tions. The Allies were close upon the Russian position atAlbat, where it was believed the Russians would ! st!,"d a.nd a batt!e ensue. On the north side t-he Russians keep up a steady fire, under cover of which they were concentrating their tro ps at Prokesp. A Russian despatch says that tlie Allies marched 40,000 men from Eupatoria, towards Toolat. hut afterwards fell back on the Obseryatory, with the Russian Lancers on their flank. The number of allied troops officially reported in tl o Crimea, is 210 000. The attitude of Sweden causes uneasiness in Russia. The Russians lost only 2,000 instead of 4.0C0 men at Kars. Thev will raise '.he siege, but have 1 iortified all the passes to T:fl:s. Tue London Times says, the Government is constantly strengthening the West India squadron. The English have found in the Karabel ! naia, immense stores of ammunition and cloth:ng. valu- d ;.t 70,000. According lo the latest from the Crimea the advanced posts of the allies were within five lea gues oi Baktchi Serai. The Russians were retir ing slowly, General Liprandi intending evidently to defend ihe line of the lb Ibec. A battle is soon anticip ited here. The Russians, in ihe attack made upon Kars, were r pulsed with immense slaughter, 4.000 being reported as lying dead under the walls. Several Russian officers of high rank were kill ed, or wounded, early in the action, which lasted eight hours. Accounts from the Crimea state that the Rus sians have surrounded the. north side of Sebasto poi wiin a cnain oi new lortiftcattons, ana piacea it in a state to support a siege.
