EDiToR: If ever a man on God's foot- l -tooldwas impelled by a pure motive to the per- b - formance of a labor, and was animated by a de- o sire to do good-a desire wholly unmixed with tL ill.will or dpposition to any one, that man d - was myself, while penning the two communica- 8 tions which haverecently appeared in your pa per over my signature. I was so studious to avoid even the appearance of wrong, or of an intention to give my pieces an application to some a individual, that I expressly and so!emnly dis- rf claimed all offensive allusion to any member of c the Bar. My aim was higher and nobler. It was to vindicate the claims of a great profession to the confidence and esteem or my Fellow eit Izen.-It was to do my part towards rescuing ( the law and lawyers, from the load of foul ob loquy, which it had almost become the habit of senseless and malignant men to heap upon them;i and because such a habit existed, it was only the c more necessary for me strike the heavi r blows to breake it down.-And my aim was to correct public opinion so that it might be able to doe justice to the" "law ;" which the great EDNDum BUaRr. declared to be " one of the first and no blest of human sciees; a science which has j done more to quicken and invigorate the under- f standing, than all the other kinds of learning C put together." I dealt entirely in argument upon general principles, enforced and sustained by undeniablef facts, and by the highest and most unquestioned examples drawn from history. In support of my cause, names were arrayed, that have done honor to our country, honor to history, and hon-i or to humanity itself. The meanest scribe, I would have had better taste, than to injure at cause of such dignity by resorting to personal reflections, and by appealing to the sordid senti-, ments and vulgar passions of the lowest of mankind. It was agairnst these, that I warred,t to prevent them from taking growth ia minds endowed to be a blessing to the community. Their is one thing, I may freely asiterL.-That in writing the two earnest articles, to which ref-< ference, has been had, I felt no unkindness, at any rate, to the Farmers, among whom I classed myself, or to any other class of the people, and I exrpressed no unkindness towards them. I I -neither desired to say - nor did I say, a single. word, to which any living man had a right justly I fo make exception, or for which he could be jus tified in attempting to hold me up to public cen sure and condemnation. The redoubted knight *f LA MANCeIA himself, who could fight wind. rnilis e'for lack of argument,' could have found, ~in my humble efforts, no cause for the exercise of his esasily awaked wrath. But a commnunicatios, signed MANY FaMan's was published in the Advertiser of the 9th inst., in wjkjphu there is as evident attempt to assail me personally. f inesd, the thing has any meaning ~at all. Argumnist,.thapre is none. Neither can .1 di'seover in' the curious production, either con rnection, point, or applichiity, farther than a vague anfoffensiv'e allusion to myseif, and1 a patronizing allu'sion to some mem'be o~f the4 *r, whom ii seems, that ' the Juniors woul4 lay ~neth the clod for'his good Jluek, and man terling qualities.'

And i bullship must need have the tree to himself; he intimated to his female friends, in the most inted manner--with his horns-that, they must de, and they did, leaving old Babecoek's bull bbing his stalwart side against the body of s tree.

BOu ANS&A-1z= noB A cARLnmR We haye beedifavored with the following ex .racts of a lettertwritten by Mr. Jos. P. Carr, Formerly of -Chaileston, to the Chairman of the Kansas ExecutiveGommittee in this city i PLATTE CrrY, Mo., March 15, 1856. Dear Sir: Yotir favor of the 27th ult. reach d me on Saturday evening last, and I hasten to .uriisli yot such hiformation as I have been able o gather. In so new a country as Kansas, Dach of what you desire to know is merely natter of opinion,'and, impressed with the im yortance of givifg you nothing but what has >en well digested.and is believed to be correct, I deemed it advisable to confer with---on the ubjectL. HdisMiore conversant with everything -elating to the political condition of the territo -y than any one-iilthis upper country, and has levoted much attention to the scheme of popu ating.Kansas with pro-slavery emigrants. The -esult of our conference I will embody in an vers to your questions -in the order in which rou have put them.'. Should my replies not be Lis fall as you would wish them, you must attri )ute it to your request that I should " write mmediately," and to the importance of giving he information desired at the earliest mQment. 1. CaR y4 give us accurate inforniation as i the relative strength amnug the bona fdeset lers In Kansas of the two parties I I cannot tell with any precission the strength f the tw- parties at;.this time. There has been 1o reliable test of the vote of either party since at Ppring. The -returns of the elections of Nhitield and Reeder cannot be taken as any riterion of the tr66 vote of the respective par ies. There being no opposition to Whitfield, he vole cast-at his election by our friends was rery light; .hile.at. Reeder's, there being no egal restraints, the vote was such as the aboli ionists chose to ia'ke It. From the most reliable information I can get, think thereis certainly a majority of pro-slavery nen in the Territory, and, as they are not like he abolitionists, coddentrated upon one or two ioints, in an election for members of the Legis ature they would, without aid from the "Bor ler Ruffians," be able to carry a decided majori y of representatives. We have the assurance, owever, that the abolitionists will again make he.most strenuoos.eforts to send out emigrants, nd as Missouri bab ~ ready.contributed so many ettlers, it is all iin tant that the other South rn States should come to our assistance. 3. As to the possib lity of a hostile collision cnnediately. I think there i none, or Indeed do I believe it ery likely there w illbe one at all. The knowl. dge that Governaimnt troops will be used gainst them will keep'the abolitionists in cheek, nd prevent them again breaking "out in insur ection; and unless Whitefield's election be set ide and a new election ordered, thire canqot veil arise any oec" ' - for a collision-at leost, ntil next fall, when 6e eleation for members of he Legislature will . held. 3. The possibili nt'gthening effetgally he hands ottlp party ly the next Lil elections. And - 4. What number of emigrants from the Soqth ill be necessary to secure iq it political contest t the ballot box the majqrity tq'thie prg-slavery arty. Time election for meqmbers of the Legislature ill be held on the firit Monday in OcLuber next. f the slaveholding States will send us two housand enigrant-that is, two thousand vo. ers-during the present year, our friends believe he condition of Kansas will be definitely settled. [is is, however, a mere matter of conjecture, or, of course, we cannot tell how large the em gration from the North will be. From the most reliable information we are ed to believe that we shall receive the number tggested and more. There will also be from il.suri a large emigration in addition to those treadv in the territory. * * * * * * 5. The parties who arrive by the first of June, >ught to make by their labor enough to pay for heir sub.,istenmce. Employment for all kinds of aborers can be obtained at high rate. Mere arm-hands will bring from fifteen to twenty olars per month, with board furnished thema, .nd meLchanies of all kinds are in great demand. U can certainly procure employment until the rst of December, and I am assured an ordinatry vinters can labor conveniently out doors almost he entire season. * * 0 * * in addition to-the matters suggested by your nquiries, I would state that the territory lying etween the Kansas and Missouri rivers is tiow cepied, by a decidedly pro-siavtery population. )n the Sout~h side of the Kansas river, and es ieealhy along that, river, the A bolitionists have nade their chief settlements. It has occurred o our friends that it would be better, as a mat er of policy, and as being more Southern, more greable tb the Southern emigrants, that a good urtion of them should settle South of Kansas ier. By this means we will secure the South n half of the territory .before it, is filled by ~boitinists; the Northern half will be saved y Missourians. The representatives have al edy been apportioned to the different-counties, d adding to our numbers Nurth of the Kansas ier, will not increase our strength, for we have majority thmere now; but if the Southern men ire distributed among the counties South of the iver, their votes will tell. The emigrants would still come up the Misa ouri river, and land at Kansas City or Atchison, a they might, determine on going to the Eastern r Western portion of the Territory. Atchison s nearer to Lecompton, the Capitol; and I think he better portion of thme Southern part of the erritory now open for settlement, can be eached from that point most conveniently. rmeseo are, however, matters for future conside -ation. I would suggest that you should seek, as far ipossible, to indauce all who have a small num en of s'aves to come 'ut. To such this is a >euliarly desirable counutry, and they need have o fear of their slaves escaping. The actual resence of a good number of elav'es would at >ne~e settle this question. If I can be useful to you in any way in carry. ng out the objects of your society, my services tre at your command. Very -respectfully, *Your obedient servant, . . P. CARR. Win. Whaley, Eaq. Chairman of Executive Committee of " A Society for the aid of the Slavo settlement of Kansas," Charleston, S. C. The Christian Index, copies the following from one of its exchange papers: " We learn from a New York correspondent, that Dr. Miclay has resigned the Presidency of the Bible U7nion, and disclaimsc any more connec ion with it.

The Semsinae 1 1r-Reward ib Jiving Indians. The Tampa Peninsular, of the 29th ult., a hand, brings but little news from the Indiai war. Lieut. Parker had returned from a sever days scout on the East side of Peas Creek, bu found no Indians, though he reports abundan signs. Corporal J. Moore, at Danatee, also report Indian signs South and East of the settlement Capt. Hooker's report concludes in the follow ing language: " Doubtless, the Indians are seat tered along our entire frontier, and we must bi active in our duties, of the settleuents will auf fer." In the meantime we find in the Peninsula the following official ann'buncemetit: Capt. Casey, the Agent for Indian Affairs ii Flor, s aritherizd.to effer ..capitat ward, or premium, for living Indi-i who ma, 6e captured, or induced to come ip, for emigra tion to the West. The following rates will be paid, by him, fo Indians delivered at Fort Brooke or Fort Myern viz: For each Warrior, from..,,$25 00 to $500 01 Woman .......180 00 to 200 01 " " Boy over 10 years.. 100 00 to 200 01 The highest rate, as above, will be paid for al except the infirm, bed-ridden and helpless, il which cases, the rate (not less than the minimuz above) will be fixed by the Agent or a Board The above announcement, says the Tampi Peninsular, looks like the Government has somi object in view. We will rejoice to see the In dians removed from our State by the means her indicated, yet we fear this policy, dictated b, humane sympathy and justifiable when dealinI with a rational foe, is reprehensible in this in stance. Yet, we regard this as an importan move, which, if (as we predict), it does not em the race of the "red man" in Florida, will soo: prove its impracticability, and Induce Govern ment to offer a reward for every Indian captured dead or alice !

R ELIGIoN AMONG THE CHINESE.-Religic would appear to be at a low ebb among the Ch nese. The priest sits down in front of au alti with a small taper burning, and with a ama mallet in one hand and a string of beads in til other, he begins to hum or half sing a numbi of words ; this appears to be all the worship the have, and their belief is that the priest can an must do all the praying.

Subsequel ly they proffered the farmer ten cents per busl to take the corn back, and rescind theircontrac which they of course refused.
