The camels and dromedaries purchased and otherwise procured by Major Wayne and Capt. Porter, under the appropriation made for the purpose at the last session of Congress, in Asia Minor, (Feb. 11,) have embarked, and the vessel would sail with the first fair wind for the United States. The number of animals procured is 33, viz: 0 male and 15 female camels; 4 male and 5 female dromedaries. The vessel is expected to arrive at India- nola, Texas, about the last of April, at which place they will be landed n? sntWoT to recruit before being employed for army transportation purposes. Several of the animals are a present from the Viceroy of Egypt to our Government. GREAT SLEIGHING On the 22d of February the people of Madison, Clinton, avid other neighboring towns in Connecticut, got up a sleighing party of a novel i, .id. It numbered three hundred and fifty sleighs, containing fifteen hundred passengers. At the head of the j made a speeeh, in which we find the fol line was a large model of a full-rigged lowing : steamer, in working order. All ages and I "He said that we are witnessing the devel- classes of people joined in the frolic, many being in burlesque and fantastic, costumes. The entire route was decorated with flags, and at Guilford the party was received by a company of fooi soldiers in uniform, and by a cavalcade aud a large four-horse sleigh, containing thirty young ladies em bowered in evergreen. About five thousand spectators had collected . there from the whole country about. The sleighing pro cession was four miles in length. On some of the sleighs, fitted up for the purpose, shoemaking, flax-spinning, flax-dressing, Arc, were displayed. Hioh price for Negroes. The War renton (N. C.) News says that the negroes belonging to the estate of the late Spots wood Burwell, deceased, took place near Lynesvillc, on Tuesday last. It will be seen from the list of prices which we sub join, that the whole lot, including one un sound man, two old women and three chil dren, averaged within a fraction of 1000 per head : Fanny, 58 years old, $400 ; Malinda, 54, $200 ; Edwin, 35, field hand, .81055; Warren, '30, carpenter, $1805; Amos, 28, ruptured, $900; Leigh. 24, $1810; Kitty, 38, three children, G, 4 and 2, $2320 ; Sarah Ann, 24, $1370 ; Henry, 12, $1200 ; Annistead, 10, $1070 ; Fanny, 8, $835.

The Boston Pilot thus sketches the Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives : Mr. Banks was forty years of age last month. He has had a varied life. He has been a factory boy, a carpenter, a machinist, a dancing master, an actor, an editor, a lawyer, a National Democrat, a coalitionist, an ardent lover of the Irish, a champion of religious liberty, a Know Noth ing, and is now a Know Nothing Free Soilf r. This is a chequered life. (Joi.n in North Caholixa. The Amer- j icnu Eagle, published in the county of Franklin, North Carolina, states that the ! slaves at the Portis Gold mine iu that I county, now the property of T. K.

Anotner piece was worth about 1 c intermixed, with quartz with several ' others worth from $10 to $40. Despatching Business. Some law yers in one of the New York courts were preparing themselves to make long speech es upon a question of costs a few days ago. The judge stopped them at the beginning, and asked the amount of the controversy, and on learning that it was only two dollars, took out his pocket-book, paid the amount, and ordered the clerk to call the next case. Progress of Wisconsin. In 1840 Wis consin had less than 31,000 inhabitants. The Chicago Press of Friday last, says her population is over 600,000, and the aggre gate acres of her taxable land sums up near 11,000.000, upon which a State tax is col lected of $ajQ,000. A Rich Barker. It is stated that Mr. Edward Phalon, the New York barber of the St. Nicholas Hotel, gave a party re- centlv, which cost $5,000. There were 700 guests, and in the orchestra were some of the best performers in the country. Large Sale of Mcles. The Paris (Ky.) Citizen says that twenty-five hundred mules were sold in that town on the 1st of March (County Court da-,) some by auction and some by private sale. The two auc tioneers report that their sales of mules, horses and slaves, amounted on that dav to he handsome sum of $76,276 53. NEW ENGLAND "RUFFIANS." J mindful of his duty. In issuing a monitory There appears ar7port of a meeting in I proclamation, in collecting troops in the one of the morning papers, held on Thurs- : vicinity of the outlaws, and in invoking the day evening, at the North Church in New 5d of Congress, he shows his determination Haven, of which the Rev. (save the mark) i to enforce the laws and uPhold the aothor Mr. Dutton is pastor. If we eould imagine I itv of the government. If he hesitates to a set of savage barbarians, who, in various 1 8trike the blow' 11 imPUes neither want of depredations by land and sea, has eluded j BPirit nor a disposition to tamper with the the just vengeance which follows the guiltv, rpbels' but rather a to sort we should suppose, from the report, that extreme measures of repression, so long as they had met at the Rev. Mr. Dutton's church upon the evening in question. Surely any one at a distance, who had nev er heard of the name of the parties, would never suspect them of having any claims to Christianity or scarcely civilization. All the reported stories about the "Border Ruf fians" sink into insignificance before these deacons and deaconesses. The occasion of the meeting was to raise money and Sharpe's Rifles for a company of settlers, about to start for Kansas 'in the holy cause of freedom" i. t. "nigger freedom," in a territory where even "free state men" will not allow a negro to come under any cir cumstances ! Henry Ward Beeeher, the Rev. Benedict Arnold of the movement, I opment of one of the greatest dramas ever enacted, of which the aspect now more par ticularly before the public mind is only one ! of the scenes. Just now, while our eyes J are fixed upon yonder growing State, the young Kansas, and while we are more espe cially interested in its rescue from bondage, we ought not to forget that victory in Kan sas is but a bud on the tree, one blossom among the thousand that are afterwards to bloom." From the above, it is very evident tnat the designs of these men are revolutionary, and will not stop short of lighting the torch of civil war all over the South. Mr. Beeeher hates the Constitution as follows : He said, "a great many people raise a cry about the Constitution, as if the j two were perfectly identical ; but the truth ! is, that it is the Constitution itself that is ! the cause of every division which this vexed i question of Slavery has ever occasioned in ; this country. It has been the fountain and j father of our troubles, by attempting to I hold together, as reconciled, two opposing j principles, which will not harmonize nor agree. Mr. Beeeher continued, and said : "I nev er knew but one compromise which I thought was a good one, and that was this : Gov. Shannon went over to Lawrence and demanded of Robinson his rifles, that he and his companions should give up their Beeeher knows that the above is a most audacious falsehood ? Robinson never ad dressed any such words to Gov. Shannon. Mr. Beeeher praised Charles Robinson as a man "of peculiar fitness for his place." That is the truth once. The man who led the infamous gang of desperadoes in ; California, who shot the peaceful Mayor of ; Sacramento and the Sheriff of the countj-, j in their endeavors to preserve order, is cer ' tainly a fit person for the ally of such rene : gades of ministers as Henry Ward Beeeher. After the close of the meeting, all were ; invited to contribute Sharpe's rifles, the , first one of which was presented by Prtf. i Silliman, of Yale College ! The pastor of ! the church, Mr. Dutton, presented one of i his members who was going with "a Bible and Sharpe's rifle," over which there was and Sharpe's rifle," over which there was ' great applause. Mr. Beeeher stated that if twenty-five were raised he would pledge twenty-five more from Plymouth Church J Brooklyn. This made the offers more gen- eral, and soon there were twenty-seven j raised. One was presented by a Mr. Kil- j lam, whereupon Mr. Beeeher could not j resist a joke, savage as it was, and said it j was a very "significant name m connection with a Sharpe's rifle!" Such are a few of the incidents of this re- markable meeting, showing, as it does, not that these people are crazy, as some sup pose, but that they are all the time arguing from false premises. THE REBELLION IN KANSAS. Few people can be ignorant of the fact that the Abolitionists have organized an in- il T . . . , 1 i 1 . . 1-1 . ...-..,. 1 -. ., 1 111 1 .......... . ."1 . i r . , , , . j scarcely a word is heard in reprobation of , . . . , 1 so palpable an act of revolt against the legitimate authority of the Federal law and ! Constitution. It is no incipient, inchoate ! rebellion, but an actual, overt and consum- ! mate treason. Not only is a separate sys- ! tem of government projected, but a different 1 code of law has been enacted, and an inde- ! pendent body of functionaries elected, in direct antagonism to the legal action of the Federal authority. And, as if to impart an air of special insult and defiance to their revolt, the traitors of Kansas have elected Senators to the Congress of the United States. If these people should levy war against the United States or adhere to the enemies of the country, they would not more clearly and completely provoke the penalties of high treason against the Gov ernment. In this exigency tho President is not un- j tbere 13 a Pobility of reconciliation. Whether or not there is to be a conflict of arms, as of authority, between the Federal Government and the abolitionists of Kansas, it is impossible to pronounce any very con fident opinion. But the difficulty is so com plicated, and such is the exasperation of feeling between the hostile parties, that a violent result seems inevitable. Should the Kansas controversy be brought to an issue of blood, the world will under stand to whom to attach the blame. The President will be guiltless, for he will not strike until he has exhausted every resource of blandishment and expostulation. The South will be guiltless, because it has stood an inactive spectator of the struggle. For every drop of blood that may be shed in Kansas in support of the laws and authority of government, the Abolitionists, and the Abolitionists alone, will be responsible to humanity. If it be distinctly ascertained that the people of the North are deliberately re solved not to respect the guarantees of slavery, then should the South organize an independent government, and protect its rights by force. If the South is at last driven to this ex tremity, we may not only plead the justifi cation of an adequate wrong, but. we may also plead the sanction of our adversaries, who, for purely aggressive purposes, have already thrown oft' their allegiance to the Federal Government. Richmond En quirer. ARREST OP ARMS POR KANSAS. The Lexington (Missouri) Express, of March 9th, states that the steamer Arabia arrived at our wharf about sunrise this morning. Immediately on landing, a com mittee was despatched up town to inform our citizens that a person from Massachu setts was on board, having in his possession one hundred Sharpe's rifles and two can non, destined for service in Kansas, and sent forward by the Massachusetts Aid So ciety. This information brought together many of our most respectable and reliable citizens, when a conference was had by them with Mr. "Start," with a view of in ducing him to leave the "dangerous" wea pons with our citizens for safe keeping. This he assented to, and delivered the "goods" up, subject to the requisition of Gov. Shannon, or his successor in office. The proceedings were orderly, and although the determination to arrest the arms was decided, no one talked of violence. The arms were boxed up and marked "Carpen ter's Tools." The discovery that they were on board was made at or below Glasgow, from a letter, dropped by Mr. S. in the cab in, and picked up by a boy and handed to Capt. Shaw, by whom it was read aloud in the Social Hall. The passengers and offi cers were highly incensed at the disclosures, but no indignity was offered to the misera ble disorganizes KANSAS. The editor of the New York Tribune, who is now in Washington, says he has in formation from a source he deems reliable, that the Administration has ordered the arrest of all the members of the Free State Government of Kansas, and that president Pif.rcik believes thov nil ; t.-;c ' "-J w i u 'n.-'.'ll - A . this. The following is from a late number of the Kansas Herald: "Gov. Shannon has returned to the Territory. He has all the troops at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, about 1200, subject to his call. The laws of the Territory will be sustained at all Im zards, and good order maintained, despite the efforts of the fanatics to agitate and keep up strife. Col. Summer, at Fort Leav ; enworth, has received his instructions, to keep his troops in readiness, subject to the call of Gov. Shannon." Is Fighting Religious ? An earnest and prayerful discussion is goingon between Garrison and Beeeher about the use of Sharpe's rifles in Kansas. Garrison recites "Thou shalt not kill," Sec., and "Do good for evil;" but Beeeher sticks to the rifles like a true "soldt'r of the cross." f N. Y. 1 Mirror. l The IW Miss Murra winds up her book on the Uuited Staes with the follow- Sdntence : "One might as well hope to iml)rove the morals and increase the hap- Piness of an idiot' by turning him out of an as- lum' as to noPe Ior oenerit tor the negro from Abolitionism." No wonder the Abo litionists are up in arms against one who utters the simple truth in such a plain spo ken way. Z3T It is estimated that the yield of gold in California during the year 1856 will amount to about sixty millions of dollars. m A Contented Spirit.

Dost thou ask me why I love thee T Ask the sunbeam why it shines, Ask the blossom why it opens, Ask the woodbine why it twines: And the sunbeam will make answer, "In the dark I cannot stay, When the morning winds are calling With the birds sweet roundelay ;" And the blossom will make answer, "Still and lone I cannot dwell. Selfishly my odors nursing In their narrow, folded cell ;" And the woodbine will make answer, "Ah ! I cannot live alone, So I lean upon the poplar, And his strength is now my own." MISCELiLANY. PUNCH AND FANNY FERN. "What is the height of woman's ambition? Diamonds." Punch. Sagacious Punch ! Do you know the reason? (says Fanny Fern,) It is because the more "diamonds" a woman owns, the more precious she becomes in the eyes of your discriminating sex. What pair of male eyes ever saw a "crow's foot," gray hair, or wrinkle, in company with a genuine diamond 1 Don't you go down on your mar row bones and swear that the owner is a Venus, a Hebe, a Juno, a sylph, fairy, and angel! Would you stop to look connubially at the most bewitching woman on earth whose only diamonds were in her eyes? Well, it is no marvel, Mr. Punch. The race of men is about extinct. Now and Mien you will meet with a specimen, but I am sorry to inform you that the most of them are nothing but coat-tails walking behind a moustache, destitute of sufficient energy to earn their own cigars aud "Macassar," pre ferring to dangle at the heels of a diamond wife, and meekly receive their allowance, as her mama's prudence and father's own inclination may suggest. MARRYING THE WRONG NIGGER. Soon as Leidesdorff (a Free Negro) died, and it became known that his property in this city was immensely valuable, a well known gentleman then living here, but since dead, left town in a great hurry and was absent some months, when he returned to the great wonderment of his acquaintances, who were entirely in the dark as to whero he had been, or what he had been in pursuit of. After a while it leaked out that he had been to the West Indies, looking up LeidesdorfPs heirs, and finding, as was said, a female that he believed was the real Simon Pure heir to the vast estate, he with out ceremony popped the question, was ac cepted and married forthwith, congratulating himself that Captain Folson and all other claimants would have to stand aside, while he, the great nabob of California, would be without a rival in the Golden State. After the marriage, in preparing the necessary documents and getting testimony to sub stantiate the claims of his lady fair, he found to his astonishment that he had made a small mistake, and that in' fact he "married the wrong nigger." San Francisco Bul letin. INSANE LOVERS. In the Lunatic Asylum at Columbus is a pair of insane lovers. Mental anxiety of a peculiar character is supposed to have deranged the intellect of the young man, who was sent to the Asj lum some time ago. Cured, it was hoped permanently, and sent home, he fell deeply in love with a young girl. While at home she returned his devo tion, and they became tenderly attached to each other. But, unhappily, the malady returned upon the young man; he was separated from the object of his love and sent back to the Asylum. Left to herself, to muse upon her bereavement, and the sad destiny of her lover, the mind of the girl became also affected, almost, as it might seem, from sympathy and it was not long before she, too, was immured within the walls which sheltered him. They are both there now. Occasionally they seem to have recovered their reason, and aro permitted to hold interviews with one another. In one of these, the poor girl begged her lover to marry her, but he replied with a melan choly real enough to bring tears from the listeners, "You know that we cannot be married, Ellen, we are unfit for that happi ness poor unfortunate creatures that we are!" Columbus (Ohio) Journal. AN OUTCAST. In the fall cf 1853, a young man about twenty-two years of age, named Grady, was sentenced by the New London County Court to hard labor in the Connecticut State prison, for the crime of stealing. The term of his imprisonment expired last fall, but he begged the privilege of remaining till spring. The warden kindly permitted him to stay, and he found employment enough for him to do to pay his way. On Monday of this week, the severity of the winter being over, and the spring work about to commence, it was agreed that he should leave the prison, and take care of himself, and he was fur nished with three dollars. He came up to the city, but the world seemed dark to him. He felt that he was an outcast, and shrank from intercourse with the world. In the evening he returned to the prison, and beg ged that he might be kept tbero the re mainder of his days. The warden has taken the matter in hand, and is attempting to fiud a suitable place for him, where he can gain an honest living. Hartford Times. Moslf.m Estimate or Cmldmcx. The Moslems rightly regard a child as a trust committed by God to its parents, who, tin y hold, are responsible for the manner in which they bring it up, and will be examined on this subject on the day of judgment. But they further venture to say, thut "the firt who will lay hold of a man on the day of judgment will be his wife and children, who (if he have been deficient in his duty to them) will present themselves before God, and say, "O, our Lord, take for us our duo from him; for he taught us not that of which wo were ignorant, and he fed us with for bidden food, nnd we knew not:' and their 'due will be taken from him.'" By this is meant, that a certain proportion of the good works which the man may have done, and his children and wife neglected, will be- set down to their account; or that a similar proportion of their evil works will be trans mitted to his account. THE NEXT PRESIDENCY. It must be evident (says the Louisville Times) to every intelligent man, that either a democrat or black republican will be elected the next President of the United States. We must select between a nation al conservative democrat and a regulur thorough-bred abolitionist of the Giddings antLGreeby school. The black republicans will meet in Philadelphia in June next, nnd will then present to tho electors of tho nation a candidate who is tho embodiment of their principles and aims, and either ho or the nominee of the National Democratic Convention will bo tho next President of the United States. The recent nomination of Mr. Fillmore by the know-nothings can not alter or change this result one iota. The only possible effect it can have upon it will be to prevent an election by the people, and throw it into the House of Representa tives. But there the same issue presents itself, and either the democrat or black republican party must triumph. The duty of the southern portion of the so-cullcd American party, under such circumstances, is so plain that it requires no argument to point it out. There is surely not nn-intelli-gent member of the party whose judgment does not tell him that it is his duty to lay down his nrtns and heartily co-operate with the democratic party in preserving the Con stitution and the Union. No sano man, who will calmly review the ground, can possibly entertain any hope of the election of Mr. Fillmore. Whatever strength Mr. Fillmore may possess, is in States where there aro overwhelming majorities agaitist the know-nothing party. He was nominated by the southern members of the convention, aided by portions of delegations from the northern States, the major part having already bolted from tho convention, and repudiated its action. Ho goes into the contest with not the ghost of a chance to carry a single non-slaveholding State, and with the very slimmest sort of hopes for one or two slave States. ELOQUENTLY SPOKEN--WASHING-TONS CHARITY. Gov. Wise, of Virginia, can utter brilliant thoughts, nnd sometimes they are apropos, as is his recent letter to New York on re ligious toleration : Richmond, Va., Feb. 17, 185G. Gentlemen : I cannot, I regret to say, accept your invitation to your first annual banquet in commemoration of the birthday of Washington ; but I concur heartily in the object of rescuing the fame of the Fath er of his county from the imputation that he ever would have excluded any class of citizens from equality under the law ; that he would ever have fettered conscience, .reason, or the free will of man ; that he would have ever countenanced religious in tolerance by means of Test Oaths and secret cabals, und by a union of priestcraft with politics ! His wisdom was two profound, bis religion too pure and unspotted from the world, his Republicanism was two genuine and devoted to his country and fellow man, for that. Li his name I invoke all who fol low his example, to his sign in the Heaven ; I point all who regard him a guardian of our laws and liberty, to come up to tho help of our Constitution and Union, and to the succor of the opprossed of every clime who would come, .without money and with out price, to partake of the waters of liber ty and equality freely ' There are "many mansions in our Father's house in Heaven," and every door to each and all is open, and the ways to all should be left open upon earth. Washington never closed one be hind him. I am yours truly, HENRY A. WISE.
