pg v i. JKisdkitirmts linos. . - ' : v Kansas. According to information that lir.s reached Washington, on which we have every reason to rely, emigration to Kansas has greatly slackened recently; while, perhaps, as many persons as ever* who g$ there, intending to remain, cross over into the new territory, a great number leave it within one or two weeks after entering its borders. Thus, in a month, something like a thousand are said to have reached the town or settlement <>f NTe\v Boston, the headquarters of the Anti-slavery Emigration Aid Societies. Yci, at the end ot'that month,! not more than three hundred souls were num-1 bered among its citizens. The truth is, in their j eagerne63 to effect a political end, these aid so | cieties have rushed out to the frontier all sorts j and any sort of people, provided they plead poverty and declare themselves disposed to oppose the legalisation of-slavery in Kansas. Not only have three-fourths of their colonists been wholly unsuited to success in an entirely new country, but the societies have f iled to provide * necessaries for the supply of their firsthand imt, perative wants in their proposed nc.w home? we mean temporary food and shelter. v The * consequence has been, that the cijy street loaf . A . ers, &c., whom they have scut out, have de om ICU III V7II |#WOIllWlia jMl'mjmj, iw uw dy and soul together?running back to the settlements; and those among them able to go further, "making tracks" for their New England homes. The "ugly' disposition of the Mission rians, by whom they are surrounded, too, has certainly operated to increase the disinclination of the New England pauper emigration to remain. The former tike no pains to conceal their dislike to having persons seut out on charity squatting among tliern for a political end. A bloody struggle is seen afar off, if'tlie Northern men undertake to carry out the ultraisms they were despatched thither to initiate, by parties who value whole skins too highly to venture among the bona jidt frontiersmen to put their views of what is best for the latter into practice. . Up to this time the great weight?influence as well as numbers?of the emigration is of men imbued with Southern seutiments.? That is, of the emigration making a permanent settlement in Kansas. There is no telling, however, how long it may be before the scale changes, though at present there seems no prospect of a change in this particular.. We have, further, every reason to believe that,Nebraska offers many more inducements to the Northern RfittJer- if hut in the fiief that, most nf the slid societies' people who,concluding not to remain in Kansas, yet .determine to stay iu the far West, move over there and seem quite contented. We have now no idea, from the best in formation within our reach, that Kansas can possibly have population "within a year sufficient to justify her in applying for admission as a State into the Union. Defending tlieir Colors. Some of the hardest fighting in war is in defending the colors or attempting to take those of the enemy. An instance, so common in all tifo ic rolnfm] n c A/i/titrrtnrr of fltn It*iff1<t /?f ?oio, 10 i tuuvu uo vv,vui i ??o iwv uaiuv VI Alma. Among the many daring exploits, says one writer, ?1'tW intrepid men l>3* "whose energy ne^l^amea'to' the'flcigilts of tlie .Ajma, we have not heard of an instance which surpasses in cool daring the conduct of Lieutenants Lindsey and Thistlcwaite of the Scots Fusileer Guards, the Queen's colors being carried by the former, and the regimental colors by the latter gentleman. At the moment before the heights were gained, and when the deadly struggle raged so fiercely as to make it almost impossible to tell friend from foe, the two lieu tenants became separated from their battalion, and found themselves, wuh the Jour sergnnts .whose duty it was to support them, attacked by a body > Russians, whose commanding officer had le hem against the colors. A desperate conflict ensued; the four sergeants quickly fell under a shower of balls. The Queen's color, carried by Mr. Liudsey, was torn into strijres, being pierced by a cloud of bullets. The staff was shot in two; still the gallant officers persevered, and succeeded in cuiung iiieir v.i\y uuuugii me enciiij wiiu surrounded them. They were ably assisted, andat tho right moment, by Captain Drummond, the adjutant of the regiment, whose horse was at that moment shot under him. Capt. Lindsey, seeing the danger to which th? colors were exposed, rushed to the relief, and, with a revolver pistol, shot three of the assailants. The successful hearers of the standard Escaped,almost miraculously, and succeeded in planting their colors on the heights, which had been then hut just won from the Russians, Mr. Lindsey having actually climbed the steep face of the hill with the aid of the broken staff, while be exultingly waved what remained of it, with her majesty's colors, over his head. Neither this gallant gentleman, nor his equally distinguished companion, Dr. Thistlethwaite, received any hurt. , "The 7lh Fusi leers," says another correspondent, " lost their colors, and the Russians pot hold ot them too, hut tne vinn charged them three times before they succed in getting them back. The 7th Fusileers were cut up terribly by the Russian batteries. They fired nothing but shell. It was a strong and tremendous fight, all the French, English and Russian artillery firing shell at once, close to one another, and the line of cavalry charging all at one time." . Sale Day.?^Ye hyl quite a large crowd in Winnsboro on sale day. The negroes commanded an astonishingly high price, when we reflect what a stringency there Iris been in the money market. One tie gro girl about ten 3 onrs of age solil for $G25 ; a negro Loy about twenty sold for ?1,025;* another boy about fourteen sold for ?880; a woman and three childrnn for ?1,715; and a woman and one child for 81,100- The tract of land on which is loccatcd the Simpson phice, near the station of the same ilniiiu on the Charlotte Road, sold at -SI7.50 per acre.

Or if, as we trust, you are satisfied as t<? the safety of visiting the city, would it not be admissible for you, by a newspaper Tiotice, to withdraw the call for lhc/J>?o remita meeting ?

The New York Journal of Commerce shows a decline of imports of ?2,101,430,.(almost 50 per cent!) compared with the same period of 1852. The decline has been about equally divided between woolens, cottons and silks, the receipts of linens being nearly the same. This leaves the total imports- of dry goods since January 1st, *G,430,000 less than the rerespond '^^^[b^Tnt^nTi^'ffie same time in 1852. The falling olT from last year in the goods entered directly for consump lion is still greater than this, but the warehousing business has largely increased. i ne receipts or cotton ami miscellaneous goods, adds the Journal of Commerce, have slightly Increased, while the hulk <>f the decline has been in silks and woolens.

The Satidersville Georgian of Tuesday, says: The late season so far has favored the pea and potatoe crop that we are inclined to think there will be so large a portion of pork fattened among us as to reduce somewhat the high price of bacon. The season has also been unusally favorable for gathering the cotton crop ; and although it is short in quantity it must be much better in quality than the average crops usually are.

Yv e learned on Saturday evening from tlio Charleston papers, that ex-1 Governor Aiken, who represents Charleston district in Congress, had gone to Washington lor tiio purpose of negotiating terms between the disagreeing parties.? We hope his mission may be productive of pormanent good, in which event, ho will have conferred more real practical and useful benefit upon the public, than a i 1 wholo host of certain extraordinary prime Ministers who are dealing in unnecessary abstractions at foreign Courts. The Carolinian of yesterday says, "Wo understand that an agent o.l the Post Office Department has arrived to make some arrangement with Mr. Caldwell rela- 1 tivo to the transportation o( the piails. Wc have rea 'son to believe, from the fact that tlio Department has1 signified a willingness to settlo the account of the corn-, ' patiy, and to continuo the contract until the first of January, that something will be effected, although this will bo objectionuble to the company, who desiro to; finish their present contract, which expires on tlio 1st! 1 July, 1854; but still there i3 every reason to hope there will be an adjustment of the difficulty."

The recent controversy between the South Carolina Railroad Company and the Postmaster General, has given rise to various comments and speculations on the part of soveral papers m'tlie State. In some of these paragraphs we have casually observed remarks against uie puiicy puisuuu vy uiu ivuiM^uuuuuinuiuuijr j of their courso, and intimating very broadly that the road being a monopoly with occlusive privileges, &c., i ought to have competition, and that another shorter ' and better way should be found from Columbia to I Charleston. This, we think, like a good deal of other talk on such matters, will not amount to much. We j have already expressed our views in regard to the ! mail difficulty, and as we do not consider ourselves ' particularly interested in dofending the Company as , its organ, we shall pass on to the consideration of somo j other matters which are more local and which irnmedi- j ately interest us as a town and community.' In tho matter of dispnto between the Hailrond Com- | pany and the Postmaster General, we gave our opinion tojtho effect that the former was right, and the latter wrong. We believe tho public has been imposed upon, and with a correspondent of the Charleston Courier of the 9th inst., wo "feel that a gross outrage has been perpetrated." 'Justice and candour compels us to say that the business community of Camden have been seriously imposed upon for tho last two or three months, by the great difficulty thrown in their way in tho transportation and receiving of their merchandize. Goods for our Merchants have been suffered to remain on the road between Camden and Charleston, from sheer negligence, and when an effort in one caso was made, by a faithful Agent on tho road to remedy as far as possi- j ble, this neglect, his orders were disobeyed, and when j he appealed to one a little higher in authority, lie was not suHtained, and thus was added insult to injury.? Cotton which ought-to have been in Charleston weeks ago is suffered to remain on the platform, no cars provided for its transit; and thus, men are compelled to submit to loss and inconvenience, when it is clearly the fault of some body on the ltailroad. Our Merchants are certainly the most passive and amiable set of men in the world, or else knowing their rights, they would at all hazzards dare maintain thorn. The Printer Editor Is something like a clock, every day, every week, every month, every year, the same duties to perform. Those editors who are weuring out the mainspring of lifo by drudging through the same routine of duties day in and day out, are like those clocks which require to be wound np every twenty four l^urs. The Editors of weeklies are like eight day clocks? once every week is enough for them. Their duties aro about iiftho same proportion to those of their daily brethren, there is commonly, this difference however, Weekly papers arc generally edited%nnd published by the same person, and tho responsibility of providing the ways and means devolves solely upon them, whereas daily editors are paid to edit, and are not expected to perform the multitudinous offices required ot a publishing editor. There arc one or two more figures which we regret to say contain more truth than poetry in the idea.? Printer Editors arc often unfortunately obliged to go on tick, tick, ticlnng, until they rundown and require to be wound up belore tlioy can go again. The Herald of Freedom Is the title of a neatly printed paper, the first number of which has reached us. published at Wakarusa, Kansas, by G-. W. Brown <fc Co.

The furniture of this room is neat and substantial, and the whole arrangement well calculated to make passengers dine or brealtfast very comfortably. The dining hall will he lighted by several very handsome chandeliers. Off the dining room are too richly furnished parlors for the convenience of the weary travellers.
