ARRIVAL OF THE AJIbkWA AT HALIFAX. HALIrAX, N. S., Fe .ruary 27, 1858. The Royal Mail Steamship America, Captain W. J. C. Lang, has arrived at this port, bringing dates from Liverpool to the 13th iitant. Lxvuatrooi. Conuo Muiaer.-The sales of Cotton for the week comprised 77,000 bales, of which speculators took 10,500, and exporters 7,500, leaving 59,000 bales to the trade. Prices had advanced id., and in some instances a still larger advance took place. The sales on Friday 12th inst. reached 15,000 bales, speculators tak ing 7,500. The market closed buoyant and active. LONDON MONY MAiUnKT.-Money was easier, and the discount rates of the Bank of England had been reduced to 3 V. cent. Consols were quoted at 9Gi(9Gk. LATE FROM CALIJ0RRIA. NEW YoRK, Feb. 27.-The steamship Moses Taylor has arrived, with California mails and $1,600,000 in gold. The news from California and Central Ameri ca is not interesting. The sanguinary in Peru is at an end. A deci ding battle was fought between the contending forces of Vivanco and Castillo, and during the battle Vivanco was killed. A Goon Ti Comi.G-The folks otn the bor. der of Missouri look upon the Mormon war as "a good time coming," sinceo it will create a de mand for labor, produce and animals, which will be eminently beneficial to that region. The In * dependence Musseunger says: The outfit of' this army will be itself an im mense business, requirintg, no doubt, 50,000 head of work-animals, in the shape of horses, mules and cattle; an'dl the Government will give a fair price for these articles, which will scatter an immense sum of money among the farmers and others of Missouri. 'he outfit last spring put in motion 2500 men, requtiring 1300 wagons and teams. These same men have to be sup plied this season with an addition, probably, of 5000 more, which, according to the same rule, will require near 4900 wagons and teams to haul them. Altogether, it is reasonable to suppose that it will cost at least $2,000,000 for the watg ons and animals alone, anad the whole expense incurred cannot be less than $8,000,000 to $1 0, 000,000. With this heavy expenditure on our frontier-, we confidcntly pretdict a plentiful supply of money among us, and with the large surplus of grain and provisions in the country, which we will sell at reasonable prices, we may expect a more prosperous season for all classes than has ever been witnessed in Missouri. BIr.manRs.-xaonorINarY Rux.-Yester day Mr. John W. Hester was playing a game of billiards, and by an adroit play brought the two reds together about eighteen inches from the cushion at the foot of the table. He then "nursed" thenm so skilfully that he marked two thousand one hundred and fifty-seven points b~y seven hundred and nineteen consecutive caromis! without making a ctushion! The time occupied in making this run of 215'7 points, was nea.rly two hours; and it was only terminatedl when the player, feuling that he had acco-nplisihed a feat in billiards which, possibly, the world never saw before, became patrdoniably excited, losthlii stead iness of ner-ve, and made a fatlse play. This ac count might well be doubted were its correctness not attested by eight person irho were absorbed spectators throughout the run. The papers of all the other great cities-Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis boast their big gamnes of billiards; but we are much mistaken if they ever had, or ever will have anything to equal the New Orleans run of 2157 points. We advise Hester to quit the game now, and never risk his laurels by playing again. . N O. 1. rue Delta, 12th inst. *Buiutar.-The woman who has been ar rested in Fishkill, New York, for shocking ciruel ty to a little orphan girl whom she took to bring up, kept a school in that village. The child is a Portuguese by birth, about 12 years old, very prett, and tells a straight-forward story. One mode of torturing her was to make her hold a hot poker in her hanad until completely burned to a blister, and after doing so to take a ruler and whip it upon the burned parts. Another mode was to strip the child niaked, lay her upon the floor, and then draw the heated poker over different parts of her person, burning her in a frightful mainner. At another time the teacher put a gag in the little girl's mouth, and made her keep it there for thirty-one hours, of course without food or drink. A string was attached to each end of the gag and tied at the back of the head. The sufferer was asked why she did not untio the string, and the answer was that it was tied in a bard knot, so firmly that it sank into the flesh, aitd she could not untie it. AtL another time the womani eut all the hair off the child's head, and upon the top of her head is a burn, caused by couming in contact with a hot stove-pipe on an occasion of being punished. The P'hiladlelphia Argus pertinently adds, if the above atrocities had been perpetrated upon a darkey at the South, would not the hypocritical philanthropist of the New York Tribune have barked himself hoarse with his vehement denun eiations? As the sufferor was only a white gilI, and the cruelty was practiced in a Black Repub lieaLn community, this oppression hater is as si lent upon the matter as an Egyptian mnummny. Is it aot singular that such shorin pretenders to benevolence should be able to exercise a particle of influence over an intelligent community. Tsaamur.s Exr.ostox oF GAs-A Church De .b-oyed-&veral Persons Injiured.-On Friday e evening, about seveni o'clock, the Methodist Pro testant Churck. on Sixth street, near Race, in Cincinnati..was partly destrdyed by the explosion of defective, gas pipes. At the hoer mentioned some fifteen persons had assembled in' the basernent for meeting, when a strong .odor was felt,'and an effort wits mead4 to diseover the leakage. A light was ap p lied to the metre when the blaze burst forth, but was soon extinguished by a bucket of water. Quiet was almost restored, when the explesion took pilabe- tearing up the floor, shattering the walls, and 'making a wreck of the basement. More than hilf the pewu of the chnrch were tora up, windows were blowri out, and. portions of the floor bloirn as high as the ceiling. Doors were forced' from their hinges and blown Into the atteets The explosion was heard a distanee of Jaalf I mire. The windows of many buildings in the vicini ty were destroyed. Eight or ten persons were severely wounded, and two or three of them was not expected to live. GREAT PISTOL MATCe-NOVEL W.%csn-Mr. John Travis, who has established a pistol-gallery in Louisville, Ky., has just closed the most ex traordinnry wager we have ever heard of. It is no less thain a bet of one thousand dollars that he will hit an orange placed on the head of a boy at ten paces; also shoot one! in each hand of the boy. The wager is with Samuel A. Suy dam, of New York, and thematch takes place in this city on the 14th of Juie. The following are the teris of the match: Travis bets Suydam $1,000 that he will find a boy who will stand at the'distnce of ten paces and >lace an orange, not to exceed two and a half inches in diameter, in each hand, and one upon his head, which Travis will shoot from their respective localities, no ob ject to intervene between the boy and the oranges. If Travis fails to find the boy who will stand, or fails to hit the oranges in the three shots, or any shot touches the boy, he loses the bet. The match to be shut in Louisville, June 15, 1858. DEATH OF COL. Joms A. EASLEY.-The many relatives and friends of this esteemed gentleman will regret to learn his sudden and unexpected demise, which occurred at his mills, near Pick. ens C. H., on the 22d inst. He was buried on yesterday, at his place, six miles from Greenville, by the Masonic fraternity, composed of mem bers oi the Lodge at this place. -of which he was a member-and of Keowee Lodge,from Pickens C. H. Col. Easley has represented Pickens Dis trict several years in the Legislature, and was, at the time of his death, a member of the Legis lature. He was aged about 34 years. 1le never married, but leaves a bereaved eircle of parents, brothers and sisters, to mourn his death. [Greenville Enterprise, 25th uIt. A TEmuliEE L.usu.-The Paris correspon dent of the New York Times. speaking of the late attempted assassination of Louis Napoleon, says: "1t is reported that one of the prisoners, Rudio, has turned State's evidence, and that, in his confession, he has revealed a plot that does not offer a very smiling prospective for the Emperor. According to Rudims confession, the conspirators were five hundred in number. They are bound to their work by a terrible oath, and their object is the assassination of Louis Napo. lean. Each year, or oftener, if circumstances shall warrant the attempt, the whole hand shall draw lots from a box in which there will be five winning nutimbers. The live meubers drawing these are held to put in immediate execution an attempt upon the Emperor's lifle, which shall be approved by the whole society, and by those who are charged with its execution. The society has plenty of money for carrying out its designs." Hous.-The number of hogs packed at Cin innati this season is estimated at. foutr hundred and fifty thousand head, against three hundred andu forty-four thousand five hundred and twelve last season. The Cincinnati Price Current has returns front one hundred and six packing places in the West, including Cincinnati, and makes the whole number packed one million seven hun dred and sixtv-nine thousand two hundred and ninety-two, agrainst one million four hundred and ninety-one thousand two hundred andi fifty-five last year. The whole number packed at all the places reported last year was one million eight hundred and eighteen thousand four hundred and sixty-eight, and the previous year two mil. lion four hundred and eighty-nine thousand five hundred and two. The whole number of places reported last year was one hundred andl ninety. There is an increase in weight of fronm three to twenty pounds per hog at nearly all the places heard from, and, as a general thmng, the yield of lard has been over that of last year. There can be no doubt that there is an increase in weight, as compared with last year, of not less thian four per cent. nsAlisGoo Ifras.-The United States fm an - es are slowly improving. The receipts of reve nue last week are stated at $6550,000), and the nominial surpilus was increased $240,000). The reutance of Congress to sanction any new ex penditures, or even to legalize old ones, forces eonotay upon the government againtt its will. Mr. Yrisarri, it is stated, has informed ourgov ernent that, from information in his possession,. he has no0 doubt of the ratification of the treaty r-ecently negotiated between the CUniteud States and Ni'eara:uua. General Herran, the new Gra nadian Minsiter, is in receipt of intelligence fr-om his government to the effect that the differences between the two governments will be satisfaceto rily adjusted. Hie is of opinion that the treaty recently negotiated will he ratified, the reports to the contrary notwithstanding. AFFAIRS IN rWAsUI~UTN.-A Washington Correspondent of the New York Times says that a reconciliationi has been partly effected betweena Robert . Walker and the President, anid it is asserted that the late Governor of Kansas will no longer be founid in opposition to the Levomp tont Constttion. Senator Green opens Mondaiy On Ka~nsas, and Collaner replies. Seward speaks Tuesday. Alexand~er M. 1tubinuson, of M0.. is appolintecd to thme Central Superintending of Iudian Affairs, vice Gov. Coimming. Critteudein, Toonmbs, and Mason have effected a setlement of the ditliculties between Clay and Cullomn. The challenge was withdr-awn, and the parties returned. A Virginiaeditor describes the following scene, which he asserts us str-ictly true. We don't thinik it could have uccur-red in any other State. Ile says that he -'saw a team oif four ainiimas--a horse, a pony, a mule anid a hull. 'The horse had the heaves, the poiiy was blind, the mule was lame, and the bull had no provision for- fly-time. In the wagon there was a wllite man, a cripphled nigger, and a tame skunk frailly- bounmd with a wisp of straw. The white manm held the lines, the team held its own. anid the ni'lger held the skunk, and they all moved forward." Nsw Wamr.-A t a late promiolougical meeting in Lontdo', Mr. Wilkinas handled round some wine, whicht he- said hadI been mannufacetured from his roots of muangel wurzel, and wais but ten m'ths old. "This," say~s the Chroniele, "for a light wine, was ceritainly very excellenit, and Mr. Wilkins declared could lbe reta-iled at a Gd. per quart bottle. A practical chemisit from London stated his opinion that all that it wanted wtas an astringent, which Mr. Wilkins said he had dis covered in the hop root, and which would renderi it a wholesonme beverage. We also tasted bread made of one-third of mtangel wurzel and two thirds flour, and which was certainly fully equal to the average quality." VOLUTEERS Foa UTAIH.-A bill has been unianimously passed by the Kentucky Legislature, and signed by the Governor, authorizing the Executive of that State to r-aisue a regiment of volunteers immuediately, and to tender their ser vices to the President of the United States, to aid ini suppressing the rebellion in Utah. Col. Crittenden, Major Hawkins, and othe-rs, all of Mexican war experience, arec to be the oticers. Pnxuw s.

This valuable citizen and accomplshed gentleman we deeply regret to say, has determined to leave Edge field and South Carolina, having selected Athens, Ga. as the place of his future residence. In fact, our in formation is th.t he has already bid adieu to his hom amongst us und departed for his new location. In brief business note just received from him, he thu incidentally rlludes to the severance of his late rula tione with Edgefield and her people: "I brok ua here to-morrow. With sincere regret I sunder th civil tics which have united me to Old Edgefleld an South Carolinn. The ties of friendship however, an of political sentiment and principle, are indissolubl These wiil be buried with me, after strengthenin daily daring a life time." We are sure that CO lAxxmoyo carries with him the favor and applause t the people he haa so lately served, and the warmes remembrances of devoted friends and admirers.

THE PROSPECT POLITICAL. In looking out at this tite upon the sea of polities, the sober senses of every calm observer will discover lo several good reasons, for thinking, 1st that the con- c stitutional rights of the 'South are progressively in in the ascendant, and, 2nd, that the American Confelder- At ation of States is in noe immediate danger of dissolu tion. ft From sources, apjaently the best informed, the conclusion may now b-derivod, that Kansas will le ii admitted into the Union under the Lecompton Coil- T stitution. Taking this'as true, the decision will of d course be regarded in the light of a Southern tritmph w andI so be placed upon the record of history. Of ti course this triumph will not have been achieved with out the aid of the Constitutionalists of other sections., headed by the President of the Union himself. Still 'I it is essentially a Southern triumiph,-Southern, in u that it is gained directly over the palpable enemies of Southern insti&rtons,-Southeru, bec-ause the principle in controversy hinges upon the question o of Southern slavry,-Southern, inasmuch as the contest has arrayed the South almost to a man in support of the constitutional principle thus in their t behalf involved. Whether this triumph may or may I not result in any such actual advantage to the South as the permanent addition of a new ally to her pres ent strength, is a question which yet remains doubtful. i The Hon. Mr. Cann of Kansas thinks that it will. In his speech at Charleston he says: " The South must, and can keep Kansas a Slave State. The soil is rich, the climate fne. Let Southern men come in 1 and take possession. In two years the next election f will take place. Northern men are coming in. Will Southern men do likewise ? It isfor themn to decide I i the ultisemte fate of Kanfus." We emphasize the ]lst expression of Mr. CAyn. It is as much as saying, that we have triumphed on the principle at issue and it will be the fault of the South alone if she reap not a permanent practical gain therefrom. lut however f this may terminate, the admission of Kansas under I the Lecompton Constitution will be a victory,--not one i it is true to be exulted over, because it is but justice rendered and nothing more. Still, it is a victory of the South aided by the sound men of the North, r over Black Republicanism aided by those who from t motives of ambition or moral cowardice have fallen in with its nefarious purposes. And it is evidence that, whatever of insult and injury may have been heaped upon us in the past, there is a leaven of pa triotism and justice at work in the great American Smind which may yet atone in part for the wrongs from which the South has so lung struggled in vain to unshackle herself aid her ever-invincible prosperi ty. The Disunionist'per se will meet us with the exclamation, "Impossible I An empty delusiun to hold out such a prospect " We ask in reply, is the abrogation of the Missouri line "an empty delusion?" Is the conceded right to go into whatever territory we like with our negroes " an empty delusion ?" It was Paid last year amongst us that the attainment of this right was, to the South, " the gain of a loss." Does the existant state of affairs in Kansas sustain this wild assertion? Does not the testimony of Ar. Ctnat demonstrate it to be a fallacy ?-Again, is the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott ease "a delusion ?" Is the noble constitutional stand of President BUCHANAN ".a delusion ?" Is the present complexion of the United States Senato " a delusion ?" f Aye more, we ask even in view of Mr. DonUrAss's admitted influence over members, is the present Demaocratic cast of the House of Representatives at SWashington " an empty delusion ?" Do not all these 1 things indicate, on the contrary, a returning sense of right in the people and in the people's official agents ? IHave not the last fil years changed our position f rem that of an almost down-trodden minority to thact of a dreaded equal in strength, if not to a con trolling majority ? Is this " an empty delusion ?" But we see before us the prospect of yet greater strength, and of further approaches to a radical re form of past and present evils. The prejudices against negro slavery are giving way before a realiza tion of its ends anadfses in the march of moderma civilization ; which, besides being a Christian civili g ation, is also (with .verence be it said) a cotton, rice, tobacco and suwar .civilization. The value of our Einstitutlon" 'wnirer higher, its pernmanency nerer so well assured as now. It has not only with stood the crusade of Northern fanatics, lbut haes been improved and strengthened by It, and has now put on a newness of life." The hate financial crisis hams brought out our domestic organization in bright cun trtast with that of the Hireling States. All men sea' this, aind arc compelled to acknowledge the powerful tself-sustaininfg elements of our social system. Fanati cisim cowers before the truth that " the South," to uase tihe language of another, " never bold so conmmanding a posido~n-commeircially, politically andi agricultui raly-as now." The tide must anal will turn against our foes in their besotted madness. Far awray ini our South west lie new territories, audapted to slave-culture and slave-culture alone. Thither the star of South ern ride must take its wny, and that probably ini a large measure by time agency of those who have beeni our revilera ngd oppressors. Mexico too has her untold resources to be deveilopied, and the Queen ir *the Antilles sprends out her luscious length to the eye of " manifest dlestinty." Ilow is this, these, all, to fulfil the end' of their creation ? How, exce'pt by thu Pruvidenttially-esta'blished course of our Southernt intittos ?'-ut once more, the indieations of re formn in the adinistration of our Federal Gohvern ment are brightening every year. St'tuth Carolinni, through oiie of her most talented Represenutatives, is likely to lead thme vana of thmis reform so far as the Triff and its kindred feaatures in our system arc con siercd. P'rogress has alretady beetnimade ini this re form. For one, we have confidence that it will go o. Expressions of opinion b'y politiet lendlers in tdifferent sections of the lUnion seem to us to warrant Ithis confidenc; And surely n reform could be fleet 1ed which would so directly and imnmediately tell umponm the weal of the Southerun people. With Equal Rights, ad Free Trade, and Direct Taxation, all established anmd emblazoned to the world its thme fixel piriniciples and piolicy of our Republic, it would be difficult to set the boundtms of our greatness, especially in refer. enee to the wealth anid mnagniticetieo that must thmen rwnorSounthorn praosperity. All this thena, we believe, is in the proaspective of our future as a great divisioin of the Amuerican Union. Whether or not they cnn be ours out of that Union, is a problem of imminse mngnitude, the solution of which onely dirm eces tl ever induce the people of the Soumth to hazardl. Certainly that mind ise hndly balanced anal that heairt is bitterly prejudiced against thme Govern menut of tier revulutionary fathers, that would desire to see the test of this last resairt at a times like the -present, when our section is actually in power and hais grounads for believing that it will ever hereafter obe mighty in shaping the destinies of our common country. Thme other proposition of this enquiry, we may pur sue in our next. I RUSSEL'S MAGA ZINE.

Perhaps within the last two or three weeks the agreat remaining bulk of the cotton crop has, in mar ket phrase, "gurm forward." Yet there are doubt loss a few b. gs still left behind. One planter said to us the other daty that he had two crops lying around his gin-lionse; another, that ho had not ginned a pound of his present erop. Both of them are con f.siderablo planters. Nevertheless, the story of the -last cotton crop is now well nigh toild. And where -is the money ?

I was one of the privileged auditors of D Discourse before the Young Men's Christian As eiation at Grace Church, by Rev. J. Barnwell Camp. 11, the gifted and eloquent Rector of St. Philip's. is topic " The Bible ink the Forumn, the test of Truth id Justice," and was most skilfully and elaborately indled and illustrated. The vast amount of logical iA philosophical study and research which was -ought to boar upon the subject, gave evidence of a ind accustomed to patient profound thought, and borious investigation. It was one of the best Dis. urses of the Series, and conferred honor both upon e Lecturer and those to whom it was especially ,dicated.

Now, tir, this is the very thing I am con :ning for all the time. But you and all the rest of tankind see that this Is not doe; for there never as a clss of gentlemen~ treated more roughly than t1.e quor dealers.
