vated him to his present position, I must confess that I have been much mistaken MANHATTAN, KANSAS: SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 18, 1860. Editorial Correspondence. House of Representatives, Lawrence, Feb. 11, 1860.

If a complete and precise knowledge of men and measures could have been obtained without attentive study and diligent examination, I should before now have given to the readers of The Express an adequate information of both Houses of the Territorial Legislature now in session in this beautiful city of Lawrence; of the most important laws already passed or under consideration of the different schemes and projects now agitated by interested parties and demagogues generally, and of all other subjects and persons, now prominent before the public. But as knowledge is the fruit of study, which of necessity requires time, hence your readers will see the propriety of indulging me for the involuntary but necessary delay. The Legislature is composed of good, Lawrence, Kassas, Feb. 7, 1860. Editor Manhattan Express: Since the date of my last, very little of general interest hasbeen done by the Legislature.

The Kansas, Arkansas and Fountaine Qui Bouille rivers have been ferried at several points and quite a number of mismatched pairs have been dissolved. 1. 1 Yesterday a Bill canfe into the Council, from the House, to divorce Mr. Geo. W.

Brown and wife. A letter was read in the House from the inamorata of Mr. Brown, which showed the greatest infidelity on his part, and that Mrs. B. is clearly entitled to a divorce.

A Bill was introduced into the Council to-day, by Dr. Woodward, to charter "The Central Pike's Peak Express Company," who propose to run an Express from some point on the Missouri river, to Denver City via Manhattan, Fort Riley and Smoky Hill River. Suck an Express is a great desideratum for the people of Riley County and I hope will be running soon. I have been told by persons who have been over the Smoky Hill route, that it is the shortest and best way to the Gold Region. An effort to A dreadful catastrophe becured at Malaga, Dec.

25th. The magnificent steamer Genova, belonging to Victor Emanuel, and chartered to the Spanish government for the war, blew np in the harbor, and as soon as the smoke of the explosion dispersed a raging fire was seen. A correspondent of the Charleston Ncic gives the following particulars. The steamer had just arrived and had not entirely moored, her main anchor only being out. In the space of a minute hundreds of row boats were along side to receive the passengers, and take in those who had jumped overboard.

Shortly they arrived on shore, but many awful-lv iniured so serious that a few day after they died in the hospital. Some landed without shirts, others without pants, having been obliged to tear them off on account of the fire many of the creatures had no hair left on their heads. In the space of five or ten minutes not a single person remained on board the burn ing vessel, ana an orqer was given to tae thousand spectators present, as well as to the inhabitants of the adjacent houses to escape, for there was imminent dan cer. The detonation was caused by the ex plosion of grenades placed in the stern, where there were yet remaining many more, and aft of them were hundreds of loaded bombs and over twelve tons of gunpowder. Two Spanish steamers were ordered to attatch lines and tow her out if possible, or free her from amongst the others, over thirty number, besides many more sailing vessels.

After much trouble the two steamers commenced towing her, but could only get her out to the distance of about fifty yards or the length of the main anchor's chain. Dur ing all the time dreadful explosions of other grenades taken place, lbt two steamers that were propelling found all their efforts useless to drag the anchor and were obliged to abandon her in the very middle of the harbor, The fire was raging intensely, and fast making its way aft to the bombs and twelve tons of gunpowder. After some loss of time a Spanish man-of-war was placed at a short distance from the wreck and commenced a heavy discharge of cannon ball to sink her, but nearly an hour elapsed before the steamer appeared to feel in the least any effect, and as the danger was increasing from minute to minute, four cannons were plnced in one end of the Mole, and another man-of-war assisted, when finally the wreck gradually settled down. The mainmast had already been consumed, so that the fire had but a short distance to reach the after magazine. In half an hour more the great danger had nearly passed, for amid the tremendous explosions of grenades, which had not ceased from the commencement, another sound was heard that occasioned by the struggle between the elements; but the fire was soon after subdued, and the water covered the decks.

AH was over, she had gone down, showing only the end of her bowsprit and foremast. Besides much material of war, tin re were 200 mules belonging to the govern-ment. There is a complete loss of everything, not even any of the baggage was saved. Searches "have been made with a diving ma chine, and not a vestige of anything was found. I have seen numbers of the wounded; there are over 2000 in the hospitals of Malaga.

Contested claim cases and alT other business before the Land Office at Ogden promptly attended to. ty Editor Manhattan Express: Sir: I promised an old friend, residing in your city, that I would write occasionally for your paper, when there was anything to write about. I could write about hard times, but I reckon it would not be anything new with you.

It seems to be a plant of marvelous growth in all sections of the country. Everybody seems to be raising all they can take care of. The home market is entirely glutted, and any attempt at exportation would prove ruinous, as all other lands seem to be as well supplied as ourselves. At no time, for two years, has business been at a lower ebb than at present. There is money, but nothing to do.

We supposed we had long since found the bottom; but we now have fears that the bottom will fall out. What adds very much to our alarm, is the fact that Virginia has purchased a small craft, with the intention of opening commercial relations with the old world, and so cut off all commercial relations with the North. How we shall endure it, time only will determine We may yet have occasion to exclaim, "Have pity upon us, our friends, for the hand of the South is upon us." Then, if they should conclude to leave the Union, I do not know what we shall do. Wendell Phillips has the impudence to say, "If you should ever see the town's poor separating from the town, the next act will be South Carolina going out of the Union." By the way, they say that John Brown is not dead To be sure he has been honored with any number of funeral sermons so much so, that should the depth of his grave be anyways proportioned to the length and number of the sermons, the resurrection will hardly find him. The South say he was choked to death by a cotton rope, at Charleston, on the 16th by order of Gov.

Wise. The North say he is still alive and lecturing on abolition. The South say his mouth is stopped, but the North say he is a more fluent speaker than ever. The South say he will harangue the ignorant abolitionists no more, but the North assert that his congregations were never so large, and his speeches never moved the masses so much as now. By the South he is the Arnold, by the North the Cromwell of the age.

The South say he is a devil, the North respond that his words are not the words of him that hath a devil. I cannot tell how they will settle the matter. I do not know but Brown will be obliged to say with the noble Emmet, "When my country takes her place among the independent nations of the earth, then let my epitaph be written." The time has not yet come for Brown to have full justice done him. The smoke raised is too dense for men to see clearly. The excitement is too intense for men to judge correctly.

The act will alwavs be regarded as rash and unjustifiable, but the motive which prompted it was above the motives that ordinarily influence men. There is quite an excitement in Maine at present, produced by the State Treasurer being a defaulter in the sum of about $100,000. The Treasurer is now in jail at Bangor, and the Legislature is now investigating the matter. We can but hope it is not so bad as the reports indicate. Mr.

Peck has been an esteemed member of the Free Will Baptist Church, and his fall is very much lamented by all. It was the result of unsuccessful speculation in Canada. The extent of his criminality cannot now be known. All New England has been perfectly horror-stricken by one of the most frightful and heart-rending catastrophes which ever fell upon them. The Pemberton Mills, at Lawrence, fell on Tuesday night last, while some 900 operatives were engaged in their peaceful avocations, burying all in the ruins.

Many were instantly killed. But hundreds were under the ruins some in a dying condition and many unhurt. While ev ery effort was being made to rescue those still living, a terrible fire broke out and all was soon a smouldering mass. The heart-rending cries of the poor sufferers could be distinctly heard until the flames put an end to their agony. Nearly 200 lives were lost, and many maimed for life.

How many poor mothers weep the early and sad death of daughters and sons. The largest number of the lost were young girls. There is universal sympathy felt for the sufferers, and liberal contributions are being made for their relief. There will be a thorough investigation of the matter, and if it should be found that the sad event is not the result of somebody's error or carelessness, it will be different from what is now supposed.

McDonald. Indians and Mad Hogs. We are informed that several hogs, which were bitten by dogs and run mad from the effects, were picked up and eaten by the Kaw Indians, and that the effect on them has in many instances been, first a swelling of the body and head, then raving and madness, followed by death. During the earlier stages of this disease, the impression was that it was the Small-Pox, and acting upon information received from others, we last week published a statement to that effect, which we now correct from the most authentic reports believing their disease to be Hydrophobia, taken as above stated.

in them for no man can undertake such a course without having the intention of sacrificing his duties to the profits of his own pocket. Moreover, I should do injustice to the uprightness and high sense of justice both of the members of the House Committee on Counties and County Lines, and the great majority of the House of Representatives, should I not state that they will never consent to per mit, in any way whatever, that the scheme of Mr. Chandler, which is only supported by a few petitioners, should prevail against the remonstrance before them of several hundred voters. I shall, in my subsequent to the readers of The Express a correct account of this warfare of Mr. Chandler against Manhattan, and espe cially of the progress and disposal of his new bill.

The Musical Association of Lawrence gaveT the othe? evening, a grand concert. at the uongregationai ijnurcn. ine building was literally crowded by a very select and intelligent audience. The pro gramme contained a splendid selection of pieces from different eminent masters of the art divine. The introduction of the Grand Opera, L' Ernani, of Professor Verdi, by the orchestra, was executed with precision, forcer harmony and ma jesty.

The variations on the piana forte, by Miss Earle, deserved and obtained the hearty and repeated applause of the delighted audience. The different a so los and choruses sung, with or without the accompaniment of instrumental mu sic, by the ladies and gentlemen composing the society, were both excellent and interesting. On the whole, this concert would have been a credit, not only to a city of the far west, but also to the St Charles, of Naples, or the Scula of Milan. The Eldridge House, where I stop, is a splendid and comfortable hotel. The table is bountifully supplied with all the luxuries of eastern life the parlors and rooms elegantly furnished the proprietor and clerks gentlemanly, courteous, obliging and attentive to all the wants of their guests, and the charges comparatively light.

I take pleasure in recom mending this house to the patronage of the readers of The Express. Among the distinguished visitors who are now cheering the City of Lawrence with their presence, I was happy to meet ex-Governor Stanton, Hon. J. M. Win-chell, Hon.

Henry J. Adams, (all prominent candidates for the high position of U. S. Senators,) John Martin, of the Freedom's Champion, of Atchison; J. T.

Hinton, of the Leavenworth Dispatch; Champion Vaughn, of the Leavenworth Daily Times; S. D. McDonald, of the yandot Gazette, and Mr. Roes, of the Topeka State Record, all of whom I should not hesitate to declare correspond with the beau ideal of a perfect editor. Success to you, brothers, that you may get your pay from your subscribers.

There was this morning a great excite ment in the House on account of the charge made by the reporter of the Leavenworth Herald against certain members or officers of having mutilated the journal of the House. A resolution was offered to expel the reporter, which, after a long debate and opposition on the part of several Democratic carried by a small majority. V. Broke Ground. We learn from the Wyandot Argus, that the work on the Kansas Central Railroad, projected from Wyandot to Yoxt Riley, was to be com menced on Wednesday last.

The early completion of the Parkville Grand River R. connecting the Hannibal St. Jo. R. R.

with the Missouri River at Parkville which is now placed beyond doubt will demand the immediate construction of the Central Road into the interior of Kansas. The success of the Missouri roads in a great measure de pends upon this, as the business of the l.ansas valley will contribute very ma terially to their support. Every element which has been enlisted in the construction of the Grand River R. would, to a nearly equal extent, be interested in the speedy completion of this Central Road, as but a continuation of the orig inal line into a highly productive country, capable of yielding a liberal sup port to a railnad, and destined to amply reward the enterprise ot those who first secure for it a railroad outlet. State Record.

Mr. and Mrs. Annin, residing near the High Bridge of the New Jersey Central Railroad, are supposed to be the largest couple in this country. The gentleman's weight is 700 pounds, and the lady's weight 500 pounds. Mr.

Annin's age is about 45, and Mrs. Annin's about 40. It required six yards of cassimere for Mr. Annin's pants, and nine yards of cloth for a coat. He and his wife keep a public house at a place called Peg's Pebble.

It is said that the New York Museum offered the couple $1,500 per year and their expenses if they would come to New York but they refused, on the ground that they did not like to be looked at so much. They began to in crease in size at about 17 years of age. Application has recently been made to the Secretary of War, by contractors carrying the mails on the various routes across the plains, for the United States troops to protect them against the incursions and depredations of the Indians. He has informed them that as soon as the season will permit a movement of troops will be ordered, and a large force distributed along the various routes for the purpose of affording protection to the mails and emigrants traveling those routes.

In another part of this paper will be found the proceedings of a meeting of the citizens of Riley county, with a petition to the Legislature asking for a change in the present county lines so as to annex the county of Riley to that of Potawatomie, and also to embrace a part of the county of Davis.

There are many and important reasons dictating this change, an 1 which must be apparent to all who will for a moment reflect upon the subject some of which are set forth in the petition. First, the interests of the two counties are identical, and what will be of advantage to one must prove of equal benefit to the other. By a union, it will consolidate the strength of the representation when required to act upon any matter concerning the interest of any portion of the now two counties, and enable them to accomplish what might be defeated through the influence of imaginary separate advantages, and also give political importance to us in the new State organization for the same reason. Financially it must prove of great benefit to both counties in the' future, and particularly to Potawatomie, as the increase in territory will add greatly to the population of that county and materially lessen the individual proportion of taxation. It will also be of immediate benefit to them from the fact that it gives them the advantage of the use of county buildings already erected and paid for by the county of Riley thus obviating the necessity of taxation on their part for that purpose.

With these and many other advantages the people of Riley county ask to be annexed to the county of Potawatomie. Many of the citizens have agreed to ac--cept us by affixing their names to the petition which is now being circulated. We ask you, citizens of Potawatomie county, to accept of a territory teeming with agricultural and mineral wealth, a community of energy and enterpise, already outnumbering your own, and a county organization promising to entail upon you jio pecuniary incumbrance. Will you accept the offer, secure the advantages tendered you, or reject us, pay your own taxes from which we propose in a great measure to relieve you, and lose the chaaee forever! We hope not. Then sign the petition.

We are informed by some citizens who have been out to Ft. Kearney on a trading expedition, and who reached home a few days since, that the snow on the route was frora two to seven feet deep. On Thursday night we were visited with a heavy rain, which has flooded the streets and occasioned a demand for gum boots. The rivers are rising at this point and the speedy opening of navigation is confidently predicted. The jolliest, but most immoral old warrior, is the Indian chief lie lives on his reserved six hundred and forty acres, at Crow Wing, on the Mississippi, has a house which cost him six thousand -dollars, and lives with six wive, in all the splendor of a Mor-man Bishop.

His parlor is furnished with seventeen rocking-ehairs, while the walls are hung with eight large portraits seven of which represent himself. Three of his wives are old like himself, and the other three young and beautiful The old man has over one hundred acres of his reserve under cultivation, which brings forth bountifully. His wives work a large garden, well stocked with flowers. intelligent and honest men, who employ their energies and mental powers to the advancement of the true interests of the people of Kansas. Eloquent speakers and brilliant legislators are few, but on an average this Legislative body will fa vorably compare with any in the country of the same number.

Most prominent among the members of the Lower House, are the Messrs. Wood, of Chase; Lynde, of Jefferson; Scott, of Allen; Morton, of Butler; Bartlett, of Potawatomie; Dutton, of Brown, and Lindsey, of Anderson, among the Republicans, and Messrs Sims, of Johnson; McMath, of Wyandot and Wae-staff. of Lvkins, among the Democrats. These gentlemen, and some others, whose names J. cannot now remember, would certainly be an ornament to any legislative assembly, where high legal acquirements, true and profound knowledge of the principles of political economy, and well sustained and patriotic eloquence are held in due estimation.

In the Council, Messrs. Updegraff, of Lykins; Palmer, of Potawatomie; Hen drey, of Douglas; Elder, of Franklin; Beebe; of Doniphan, and Matthias, of Leavenworth, are winning upon the heart and esteem of all those who have the opportunity of witnessing their manly course in all matters connected with the present legislation of the Territory. In thus expressing my admiration for he nobility of character and talents of several members of the Legislature, who entertain opinions and act in opposition to the principles of the Republican party, I only intend to do justice to the true worth of men, irrespective of the politi cal organization to Avhich they belong, No bill of a general and important po litical nature has passed either House of the Legislature, unless the act abolishing the abominable contamination of human i i. mi- sacred act ot dnty to God, to humanity, and the age of civilization, progress and universal liberty in which we live, was almost unanimously passed by both Houses of our Territorial Legislature, the Harper's Ferry tragedy, the Helper's Book dissertations, and the open and traitorous menaces of so many Southern States of dissolving the Union, notwith standing. To become the law'of Kan sas, this bill must receive the approval of Gov.

Medary. Will he give it I am sorry to be obliged to that I feel con fident that the Governor will veto it. And how could he do otherwise, being as he is the representative of James Buchanan The Governor cannot (if he does not choose to have his head cut off instantly,) but indorse the doctrine of his master. Did not President Buchanan, in his last annual message to Congress, fearlessly and solemnly assert that the Constitution of the United States carries the institution of Slavery into all the Territories without a hope of redemption But even so, the veto of the Governor will not prevent the bill from becoming a law; for both Houses will pass it over his head, thus proving to Mr. Buchanan that though his ipse dixit may be as a Firman to the abject Democracy of our days, with the Republican party it has no other force but that which the correctness of the reasons adduced may convey with it.

In the present instance his dictatorial oracle is nothing more than a political, chronological, constitutional, moral and social falsehood. The House Bill, Xo. 1, which was introduced by Mr. Chandler, of Ogden, for the sole purpose of removing the County Seat of Riley county from Manhattan to his favorite place, after having been duly condemned by the Committee on Counties and County Lines, was yesterday evening withdrawn from the House by Mr. Chandler in person, who, although very slow in perceptive powers, by this time had learned that the numerous elements of corruption contained in it had been sufficiently unmasked to create a feeling of disgust with almost every member of the House.

I have just learned that it is his intention to introduce another bill for the same object, but in a less objectionable shape. I have never entertained any high opinion of Mr. Chandler's mind; but so far as his intentions were concerned, I should never have judged them wicked or corrupted; but since this attempt of his, of earring through a -measure which he positively knows to be against the openly expressed will of his constituents, and intended only to advance his personal interests, at the great cost and prejudice of hundreds of those very men who generously ele direct travel that way should be made by our people, and I know of nothing that would be so effectual as to have an Express running OTer the road. To-day a Bill has been before the House, providing for county and township organizations. It gives nearly the same power to three County Commissioners that is now vested in the Board of Supervisors, and dispenses with the latter officers, which is the salient feature of the Bill, and a great improvement upon the present law.

The Bill prohibiting slavery, spoken of in my last, passed the House by a very large majority -only six Democrats dared to "come up to the scratch." and vote against it. One of these was the Free State Democrat from Davis Co. Even Mr. Blake, of Jefferson County, who made tltg speech of the Session against the Bill, did not dare to vote against it. The Bill will be brought up in the Council to-morrow, and will pass by a large majority.

The Democratic mem ber Mr. Beebe of the Judicial Commit tee, to whom the Bill was referred, today asked for time to make out a minority report against its passage. It is amusing to see how the Democrats try to stave it off, and avoid voting upon it. They desire to remain upon good terms with the present pro-slavery national Democratic Administration, and at the same time humbug the people into the belief that they are Free State men, and that their party is a Free State party. Gov.

Medary will undoubtedly veto the Bill. Should he do otherwise his head ould go the way of the heads of all federal appointees in this Territory, who have shown any Free State proclivities. When the Bill was under considera tion in the Housei Mr. Blake, the very eloquent member spoken of in my last, and before alluded to in this, with both arms extended, and in the most ferocious manner possible, spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker, I ain sorry that this tree have got into this House.

It ar a This Bill have been got up to drive some on us to the wall and pin us thar. They mean to do it. This ar all nonsense. I acknowledge, when they git at me with sich nonsense, they can git me thar. (Great-' applause.) Mr.

Speaker, they may call me a pro- slavery man, but I am not a pro-slavery man. Slavery ar iiere; it ar here by the Constitution of the United States; it ar here by the Supreme Court; it ar here by a power higher than us. I shall vote agin the Bill just for them reasons thar. (Applause in the lobby.) Mr. bpeaker, the Luisianny Treaty pertects slavery here the Constitution pertects slavery here.

The Treaty per-vides that shall remain in all the 1 erritories formed out on it ontil they come into the Union of independent and bauvenng btates. Mr. Speaker, I am in favor of Squatter Sauveranity. I am a Squatter Sauver- anity man. The Democratic Party ar a Squatter Sauveranity Party, and I arn't skeered out on it.

You may pass law upon law, and you can't never enforce your law, nor free a single nigger. It can be did; nor skeer the Democratic Party. (Laughter.) Mr. Speaker, the Organic Act don't allow that slavery ar to- be abolished. Slavery have no right to be abolished here.

The Constitution pertects it. Ar "jO TTTI you gwyne to repudiate it i nac ar you here fur 1 Ar you gwyne to repeal the Constitution Ar you gwyne to repeal the organic act? Ar you gwyne to dissolve the Union? (Loud and continued applause.) Mr. Speaker, you have no right to repeal the Constitution of the U. States You have no right to repudiate the organic You have no right to dissolve the (Great sensation in the lobby.) Mr. Speaker, whar ar the irrepressible conflict?
