On our outside, this week, will be found an article on " Duelling " writ. ton by the Senior Editor of this pa per. It was intended for our inside, but its length,and a pressure of other * matter have unavoidably placed it where it is. It is written against this barbarous custom, and we hope all of our readers will read the article and prorfit by it.-Junior Editor Banner FELLOW CITIzEN:-I have disposed of my interest in the Sumter Banner to Mr. JOHN S.; RICHARDsON Jr., who is, by our arrangement, entitled to all the pro ceeds of the Paper from the let of Jannia ry 1855. In parting with my portion I desire to say that I have done so solely from a sense of right. Having been dis 'abled by an accident which befell me, early in the past year, from taking any part in the management of the concern, and from assisting to advance the interests of ihe -paper, and one which will probably disable me from doing so for some time to come, I have thought it fair and right that I should take no part from the pro ceeds of the office, but that they should belong to him whose labor and time has been expended in acquiring them. I have therefore sold to him my whole in terest in tho Paper. arnd -in taking my leave of it, I desire to recommend the BANNER to all whom I can at all influ. once' to subscribe for and patronize it. I still feel a denn interemt in its aineess and the success of my friend and former copartnqJ. WM. LEWVIS. HAVING purchased Mr. LEwIs' interest in the Banner, it is perhaps right and proper for us in noticing thre fact, to give at least some assurance to the Public for its future conduct and management. During the year past, for which time we have been connected with the Banrner, it 'has been to us a labor of love, not - * unattended with cares arnd disappoitmrents as wvell as wvith pleasures, to do what we could to make our paper a pleasant arnd *instrrrctive visitor to every family into whose circleft might find its way. Many circumstances, however, conspired to pr6 vent us from bestowing upon it that care and attention ivhich is so necessary in or der to accomplish this object. The calls upon one's timne, care and rttentioni hv a sick family and the unavo able aibsertce from home during the past summer, wvitht many other like circumstances, in a groat measure disabled us from doing what we miight have done, arid desired to d~o for the amusement and instruction of our readl era. But we flatter ounrselves that wvith the assistance of our able co-editor anrnd with renewed zeal and increased efibrts upon our part, we shall hiereatter present Se our readers and the Public a sheet with -better clairris to a portion of their patron. ago and favor. With this assurant.e, to. gether with-a promise (which the troruble and expense we have been at to repair our *Prdsiaand reft up our office would war. rent us In making) of a neat, arnd, as far as typographical appearance goes, a dis -tirnct and readale paper, we send out the Banner among its old and tried customers, a bahdidate for increased favor and patron age. We hope it may find a warm weel ,JorI from all its former friends, and re Ceive from them as many introductions to ineus supporters as possIble.

The lion. P. S. Uitooxe has for warded to us a pamphlet containing a letter from General STRINoFELLOW, a citizen of Missouri. directed to Mr. Baooxs and other members of Con gress. It is an answer to etquiries umado by themr in relation to the pros. lwcts for slavery in that territory. 'ie gives some plausible reasons for tihe opinrioir that Kansas will clude the grasp of the abolitionists. One is the natire of the country. It is composed of prairies. Wood is to be fcund only along the streams, and therefore small farms, from the increased amount of fencing they require, are impracticable. The labor of breaking up the soi! i a great difliculty in -the way of a poor man. Ile says that it requires two hands, and at least six yoke of oxen. These must be owned by the settler, because every man will need his owi force. lie asserts that the people of Missouri are awake to the danger of having an abolition State in their rea-. and that, to secure tihe establishment of slavery in Kan Sas, they will, if need be, make their homes there. le gives the late vote for a delegate to Congrese, which stood thus-for WIITFIELn 2258 ; for WAKEFIELn 248 ; and for FI.ENNEKEN 305. The qistion was slavery or no slavery ; and the pro slavery candi date received more than four fifths of the whole vote. We have given but a meagre sketch of this letter. Thus far. in spite of the deluded fanatics of the North, Kansas seems to be safe. With slave ry as a territorial institution, and slaveholders the first citizens, and the moulders of publie sentiment; see] Lided by position from direct anti-slavery influences and ofl'ring no inducements to poor settlers, it may, if its soil be as rich and productive as it is repre. sented, invite pro slavery immigration to an extent sufficient to secure it to Southern interest. But if this be the result, it will be long in accomplish. ment. Millions of acres spread themselves oit, invitingly, in the South and West, where the institution is established and the rights of the o%1n w are secure, where the climnt . is more genial, the soil as rich, the productions mom remunerative and the expenses of living less. It is bul reasonable to expect that thither will tend t.be great stream of migratio. Kansas cannot grow ip to mtuurity as a slaveholding State with tire rapid:; ity which has characterized the free1 States. Those opposed to slavery, in view of tile difficulties presented there to free labor-, may stay away ; but, on tha othelr hand, slaveholders, in view of more desirable localities, will pass by it. We areo not meh imn pressed with the audvanumnge to SouthI. ern interests of General S-ralo-L Low's dernier resort. Missouri has but few slaves in comparison wvith the Southern States, and if Kansas ean he nade a slav-e State only lby Missouri. ais going over in suflicienit nietibrs to control it, the inusti tution t here may >~e left without dlefenmders, anid Missou ri, undler Bentonianm lead, go over to bhe Abolition North.
