KNEE-BUCK-EDNEZZAR HEARD FROM. The following letter was written ly a dis tinguished politician of this city, who bas ta ken sides against the people with the Federal WnMi nf the Democratic party.. It will be seen that the writer regrets, remonstrates, threatens and denounces combining in his address to our neighbor every possible ele-ment of argument thought of. We would remark that the letter is a copy of the original, which was obtained in the "mysterious ways of providence." Mt. Vebkos, March 4th, 1858, L. Habpbb Dear Sir : It is with extreme pain I learn your utter perversion from the Democratic faith. Our personal friendships heretofore, our family relations, our pleasant social intercourse all conspire to render this thing painful ; still I cannot for any consideration sacrifice my long cherished Democratic principles, You know as well as any man can know,' that I have always maintained that there are but two parties in America, one the Democratic party, and the other the party op nosed to it I admit of no financiering or ci nhnrinir between the two. A man is either for ns or against us, there is no middle ground, I understand that within the last week, you have turned off articles of undoubted Democratic origin.and source to give place to vile abo. lition effusions, found published and circulated by all'the filthy orgaos of that party, down to the traitorous Statesman. Among tne ar ticle you propose to defile your sheet with is the filthy effusion of the renegade Jiancroft first communicated to the worid through the columns of the New York Tribune, and thence copied into al 1 the abolition sheets of the country, i This, I understand is to bo published in your paper to the exclusion of articles requested by the oldest and best triod Democrats who ever trod the soil of Knox county. If this course is persisted in, there is- no other remedy left me, but to separate from you forever. I understand that Mr. Lybrand has boasted that his (action was sure of your support, that your bread and butter depends upon it I cannot satisfactorily understand this allusion. Were you not brought here to publish a Democratic paper ? ' And can you be doing so while copying for your columns from all the federal sheets in the Union? You may say you copy from the Ohio Statesman. But is it noUrue that this paper is as vituperative and abusive on the Democratic Administration as any opposition paper yoa can take up ? And pray, whoever saw the Democracy separate from their administration ? No one ever did. From the days of Mr. Jefferson to the present day the Democratic. Ad-ministration was never deserted by the party and rest assured Mr. Harper" you and I wilj be very old before we see any such tiling. It .ia.no new thing for men to rise up like Messrs, Douglas, Walker, Stanton & Co., who are ,Jn enough to suppose they can overthrow the Administration. That has often been tried. Since the days of Gen. Jackson such things hive been common. - Butjthe result has jnejitablybeen tol Jiroye the Jolly of all such attempts. I am sincere when I say I am sorry of the circumstances of our present separa- Aion. i ft II your nimu is maae up in mis we day M well so understand each other. It is wrong tt) be acting deceitfully to be pretend-Ung to agree when there is. really no concur-rence of sentiment' J ' ' '.' ' " , ; -Our. Preaideat bas certainly taken the true gfound, that of non-intervention, leaving the ' people of the territories to reason or wrangle over theif'owa difficulties In their own way, and wark CjiWla their own salva-' . tion or destruction as their tastes tnay dlc-i tate. Wheel the Douglas men assert that Mr 1 Buchanan instructed Gov. Walker, they forget how they expose their own unsoundness. -Tftayfla narTeingtiirjertliBtTui7nittempt to A instruct U-. that way would be a direct jmd " palpable violation W the rights of flie people ill the-territories Xo laoro palpable cioia-tion could be suggested of tbo great principle of the ''.Kansas Nebraska act," and yet when these men assume that the President did this , thev do pot ssr he did wrong m their jtids-! went. The rreident g.ire no such instructions, and ihertbr hjw d hi3 corwl apprc tiatioa of our psflion. ' Allow mo, dear sir, .1.- - to suggest that the great trouble in this matter grows out of this state of things. Many editors in the North, yourself among the rest kept predicting that under the Kansas policy. the State would be non-slaveholding, a thing you were very wrong in doing. Your powers of Drouhecv were no other than mon's. Mr, Walker committed the same error and inter fered improperly with the affairs of Kansas when he went there. He was disappointed very much in the result of the deliberations of the Convention, as were all the editors. Their prophecying and all united to cry down the Convention who had thus disregarded their prophecies and entreaties. I hope one good lesson may be learned from this matter, it is this : The mission of Democratio editors and Statesmen is not to prophecy but to rea son and instruct from the experience of the past. I would feign hope that you and my self might yet come to see these things more alike, but we never can unless you open your columns to Democratic sentiments and close them against all abolition and federal doc trines, dogmas and articles. My good will dear sir, is probably a matter of small ac count to you, but the mighty multitude of patriotio men with whom I feel confident I agree, will be terrible in judgment they ever have been, they ever will be. It Is in this sense that it has been justly said, " That the voice of the peopb is the voice of God." I should not have troubled you with this long article had it not been for our previous inti mate relations. Trusting that some way may turn up for our future agreement, I sub scribe myself lours. For tho Republican A Conversation between a Lady and her Servant Girl. In one of our western villages not long since, I had a little business at a certain house there, I stept to the door and knocked, but my knocking was not heard, therefore, I paus ed awhile and my ears were saluted by a fe male voice saying : ' Mary, Mary ; 0 come and take this child; I Can do nothing with it, it is so cross." " What is the matter with it mam ? " " Why it wants to nurse and I won't let it; for I declare then is no peace where young ones are so troublesome." " Why, my dear mam, do let the dear lit tle thing nurso and then it will go to sleep.1 " 0! Mary; never get married," said the mother of the child. " Why not, mam ? I think you have got one of the kindest husbands, and ought to be happy. Mr. C appears to do everything to make you comfortable." "0, Mary,,.you don't know; if so, he would be willing to get some person to take care of this young one and not keep me at home all the time to do it. I can never go to a Ball or a Festival, and if I put on a nice dress it is so soon soiled. And that is not all; I am deprived of the pleasure of Walking with other young gentlemen, like many other la dies ; for Mr. C mokes such ado if I at tempt to do so, although it is so fashionable now-a-days, and I would as lief be out of the world as out of fashion. . I told husband last evening that I would wean the child and he said I should not ; but if he don't agree to H I will leave him and go home to Ma-ma again, and there I can do as I please; in short I wish I had never get married," ' - I turned away, being satisfied that happi ness had no home in the breast of that moth Now, my young female friends, beware and consider well before you enter into matrimony lest you repent too like Mrs. C. P. A Mountain of Glass. The San Francisco Courier says : " We have in our possession several specimens of glass taken from a hill situated sixteen miles from the town, Napa, and on the creek of that name. The article possesses all the characteristics of glass, being both brittle and translucent . It is, however, of rather a dark col or, occasioned by the presence of oxyd of iron Those well acquainted witu the properties ot glass, state that the only operation necessary to make good marketable glass ot the article under consideration, is to extract the small quantity of oxyd of iron it contains, which can be readily done by molting, and an addi tion or oxyd of manganese, in loct experiments which have been made show that beat ing it to a red heat in a common stove has the effect to drive out the dark coloring matter with which it is impregnated. The hill or mountain from which this glass Is obtain ed, seems to be composed- almost entirely of this material, and is capablo or supplying the whole world for many years with glass. A Black Cloud. A black cloud makes the traveler mend his pace, and mind his home ; whereas a fair day and a pleasant way wastes his time, and that stealeth away his affections the prospect of the country. Uowexer others may think of it yet I take it as a mercy, that now and then some clouds come be tween me and my sun, and many times troubles do conceal my comlorts; for I porceite, if t should find too much friendship in my inn, in my pilgrimage, I should soon forget my Father's house, and my heritage.

Editor : thinking that a brief letter from this point might be of Interest to the many roodors of your estimable and well Con ducted columns, I have concluded to send you one at this time. Tho business prospect of Doniphan looks brighter J business of all kinds has been very dull for the past three months, though there has been as much done here, as at any point on the river, according to size We are looking for a charter tor this town which is greatly needed. Immediate steps will be taken as soon as if' arrives, to elect officers to act under it immediately. The streets and wharfs will be graded and other improvements made without delay. The recent cold snap, which has only been three or four days, has filled the river with running ice. But nothing can exceed the beauty and eomfort of Kansas winters, am so unused to such a climate I can hardly make myself believe it is winter. The brilliancy of tho sun by day and the bright moon by night and the fires on the prairie all have the appearance of September. Notwithstanding the scarcity of money, many of the citizens are making preparations for extensive bnildings tho coming season. I am confidont this town will go ahead foster this summer than it ever has before. The numerous formers settled in this vi cinity are making every preparation for the coming seed time and harvest. The favorable season has been much to their advantage, for many were without comfortable houses in the fall. There have been several difficulties here in this town this winter In the first place, a Free State man was murdered hore by a company of pro-Slavery men from Atchison. It Is thought that some men who lived in this place Were accessories to the crime. Those men we have cleared out, and we mean that no man who has stained his hands with the blood of the innocent shall find protection here. A meeting was called and resolutions adopted to that effect Flour and whisky are the two staple commodities of this region. Some of our boys partook rather freely of the latter a short time ago. They concluded how ever that it was not good after all, whereup on they went into two or three liquor estab lishments and demolished everything . Quite an excitement was raised abroad and many rumors afloat which are untrue. While am writing news is received that tho Lecomp' ton Constitution has passed ; if that should orove to be the case, it will then be left for the people to decide for themselves and man age thoir affairs in their own way. An elec tion- i& - to be-held the 9th of this month for the choice of Delegates to acocvention to form a new Constitution, one that will be right on the goose. It is estimated there are eight Free State men to -one pro-Slavery ; and tho latter aro leaving almost daily. Thinking that the peace and happiness of Kansas bas just commenced, I would say one word to the ladies that is those of you who want husbands come to Eansat by all means. Already there are a great many females hero, yet the demand is very great for more. But I will bring my hasty views to a close and bid you adieu for the present. Very truly yours, J. V. A Cawnnore in England' Ilorri' blc Cruelty. On the 6th inst, a private in the Sixth Northumberland (Eng.) Fusiliers underwent the sentence of a court martial, dooming him to receive 450 gashes, cut, at the rate of nine at a time, into his back. An eye-withess fur nishes the Northern Express with the following description of this piece of ruffianism : The poor victim to military tyranny, a man who has seen better circumstances, and is, we hear, connected with a distinguished family in the North of Ireland, when ordered to strip. sternly and steadily refused. On this, sixteen of the strongest and most muscular men stood forward, and hurled him, face downward, on the stone pavement of the racket-court. He manfully resisted this indignity, and with a voice trembling with emotion, requested them to take his life, but spare him this dishonor. A few moments, however, and he was stripped and tied to the triangles. And now began a scene which requires an abler pea than mine to describe. Forth stepped one of the largest drummers, armed with a "cat" the length of the handle of which being eight inches, the nine-tails the same length, not, as your correspondent states, armed with lead, but with pentagonal pieces of case-hardened steel, eighty-one in number. At the first blow of the " cat, " a pireeing and unearthly shriek rung from the strong man in his agony I His lacerated liesn gapeu under the blow, and lumps of fiosh, at each fresh blow, were detached from his bleeding back, and bung high about the walls f the racket-court, and on the clothes of those stan ding by. The stern Colonel, compelled to bo an anwillmg witness turned and leaning on the arm of the equally nllected Major, covered his face with ais handkerchief, while deep Siehs aaitated his manly bosom, and plainly showed the struggle that was going on with in.

'' Wc A UOiHANCE OF HEAL LIFE In Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, seven years ago lived a wealthy farmer, who was blessed with a family of six children, the eldest of which was a beautiful girl of ser enteen summers. A young man in the neighborhood, of a good family, feigned at tochment for her. Young and inexperienced she fell into the snare set for her. Shortly after her ruin was accomplished, the young man fearing the wrath of her father, when tho consequences of his villainy should become apparent, absconded. The young girl now folt tbo full horror of nor situation, which she could conceal but a short time, and her de stroyor had fled. She could not, dare not, endure the shame and reproach that would attach to her when all should be discovered, She determined upon leaving the country also, and preferring to be considered as dead, matured a plan to cheat her parents into the belief that she bad beon drowned. A creek ran through her father's farm and emptied into the Susquehanna, a short dis tance away. At this time of the year (spring,) it was swollen by treshets, and it was dan gerous to venture upon tne Iran briugo ot plonk that had been thrown across it. Une evening, when the water was very high, she proposed Koine to a neighbor's who lived across the creek. Her father objected on the ground of danger, but insisting that she could iret over solely, she seized her bonnet and started. She had previously secreted a few articles of clothing outside, which she took with her. Arriving at the bridge, she threw her bonnet into the stream, well knowing it would be caught on the bushes that overhung the stream, and hurrying on soon gained the road, and walked away in (he direction of Harrisburch. The consternation ot the fami ly, after the lapse of two or three hours, may bo imagined. One went to the house she bad started for, but she had not been there. It was supposed immediately that she hod fallen off the bridge. Search was made, and her bonnet was found lodged on some over hanging willows. Sadly they returned to their bereaved home. Doubt was at an end. She had fallen from the frail bridge, had been drowned, and ner body carried by the angry flood into the river, bboruy alter the sup posed death, her father, upon whose mind the event weighed heavily, wishing to leave the scene of his ailliction, sold bis larm and re moved to Crawford county, Ohio In the morning she hod reached Harris- burgh, taking the cars west, and in a few davS found herseit at tne only tavern in a se eluded village in the interior of Michigan.--. The landlady was a kind-hearted woman, and at that particular time was in need of an assistant. She ncara ine story ot the nooreirl. sympathized with her, and liking her appearance, insisted on her making that her home. In this house she passed six years of contentment. Her hostess introduced her as a widow, she gained friends, and re ceived many advantageous offers of nar- riaore. One morning about six months ago she was in the sitting room when the stage drove up, Tho windows of the coach were down, and she could see most of the passongers. . Among them was a face that seemed familiar to her. She looked again, and with a shriek foil faint-inc to the floor. It was her betrayer. . The landlady soon learned how matters stood, and and determined that justice should be done. She sought him, told him the facts, and insisted that he should repair the injury he had inflicted by making her his wile. To this he at once consented. Three months after his flieht from Pennsylvania, seized with remorse he started back with the intention of marrying her. On his Way back he picked up a newspaper which contained an account of her traeical death. Feeling that he was tho cause of her untimely end, heart sicken and sod, he turned back a changed and better man. Ho had settled down, accumulated property, and was a man of standing and influence. The joy of the girl when she met with her repentant lover moy be imagined. They were married that evening. Ascertaining the address of her father, they came on to that place as fast as steam could carry them. Words cannot paint the raptures of the . old man as he clasped to his bosoms daughter he had mourned as dead for six long years. Explanations were maae, an was ior-given, and after passing a few weeks of unal loyed happiness ;nero iney returned to their home in the West. II Ml 1. Arizosa as a Cottos Bkoion. Lato in vestigations prove that the Territory of Ari-zonia, rich as it is in resources, promises more from the adaptation of its soil and climate, to the production of cotton, than from all othor elements of wealth. Gen. Gadsden, in a letter to Lieut. Maury, enclosing a sample of cot ton produced in that region, says l You are aware, perhaps, that the black seed cotton hybrids, of finer qualities, which sea or salt air and superior cultivation nas produced, in tho Carolinas, Georgiit Islands, and now extending to Florida, is a native ol Uila, a river of Arizona. It is from this cotton that the finest Mexican sernpes aro manufactured. I was fortunate enough to obtain a handful of the seed from a friend at Fort Yuma and have raised seed onough from it to restore it purely in this State. As these lower qualities of long cottons aro getting in demand, I send enclosed a sample of the cotton as raised-near this city, ns it might be of interest to you and the friends of that newly acquired district, seeking to take a place in the cotton field ss well as silver products of that mineral region. ' The samplo of cotton is said to be the same in character as that described by Gray and others, ss raised by tho Pimos Indians, and resembles the Sea Island, iu its fine silky texture and long staple.

The thought of the ' Sweet Williams' come to us again, and the little grass pinks are sprinkling the borders with rubles, and the blue violets cluster meekly along the fence, and Pionies Heaven restore the day we called them 'Pinesys' filled up the corners, and over there, is a row of ' Bachelor's Buttons,' white, purple, and blue ; gay and varied enough for the round-about of poor Joseph. It is morning, and the sweet bells of the 'Morning Glories' 'toll their perfume' along the vine ; it is mid summer, and the old Red Rose, forever sacred to memory and affection, blushes and blesses all the air ; it is September, and the starry China Asters rise inrainbow-lighted constellations in the grass. The red plumes of 1 Love lies bleeding ' are waving in the wind.and the Marigold of French velvet glitter on the ground, now coin of gold. just struck in the mint of Juno. There too were the Hollyhocks, small or chestras every one, for the summer bees : ma ny a time, gathering the edges of the leaves of bis tinted chamber together, have we made prisioners of the solo singer. And thore, all by itself, the brood diss of the old-fashioned Sun Flower turns to the light, while a brown bird, the Crusoe of the rocking world, picks fiercely at the rare Mosaic of its close-sown field of seeds. There too, are the Lilacs beside the Garden gate, flinging their fiagranco in at the open window, ond out in tho dusty street ; and there, with its broad grasp of roots fast hold of a square rod of earth, is the Balm of Gileod, that each year outlives the threat of the axe and the fire Down the main walk, were a dozon tufts or so of Garden Sorrel, and over there, were the feathery plumes of the .Asparagus ; and who would ever forgive us for forgetting the uarraway and the Dill, that made the old meeting house fragrant of a Sunday blended with the breath of pink and white roses. And how, as we think of the Uarden, can we fail to remember the green, flaring boxes of wood, always green, and notched at the top the little green hoppers wherein, upon the Lilliquot acre of earth, Spring poured its sweot treasures of sunshine and rain?-, The little green boxes with the Geranium race the lemon, the rose and the strawberry. And tho Dew Plant with its tiny pink flower, patterned after the dew, by each rich glossy leaf ; and the Ice Plant with its frosted verdure, that both dwelt in these little green boxes of gardens.And where are they all, the old-fashioned gardens and flowers ? Gone with tho Mollys and f oiiys and uetseys ' as lovely and lleet ing as they.' Gone with ' Coronation,' and Mear ,' With ' Windham ' and , wells.' Gone with the old mossy roof, and the old mossy bucket that hung in tho well." Ihere are new names, new tunes and new flowers ! the Gardens are splendid with statue and fountain and vine; shrubs, gorgeous with the glow of Tropic suns tower up to the skies the glatier made, and furnaces diffuse a bird- less J une and prolong it through the shiver ing year. in j i , . - OiT " I do not care whether you call it sla very orsorvitude ; the man who has menialqfi- cei to perform is the slave or the servant, I care not whether he is while or black' Servitude or slavery grows out of the organic structure Of man." Speech in tho Senate of Johnson, of Tennesee. The Nashville Patriot quotos this, and says : The idea that all men who perform menial services are slaves, is abhorrent.' It is worse a gross libel upon hundreds and thousands of industrious, hard working men in all sec tions ol the country m the South as well as in the North in Tennessee as well as in Ohio. Mr Johnson has worked his way up gradually from what he affects now to considor a ser vile condition in others, to an eminent position, by pandering to the passions and prej udices of the class whom he denominates, slaves." By the votes of these "slavos" a had been placed in high oflico, and it ill becomes him now to Stigrmttire them. The day laborer on the farm, though he may own no land, though ho may not be ttblo even to rent, and is compelled to porlorm menial labor for pay, is not the slave of bis employer, or any one else, lie is the peer, tl be be honest and virtuous, of any man in the State aye, of the proudest aristocrat that sneers at his title to manhotfd or of Andre John son, the Philosopher and Senator 1 So also are those humble men and women who fill other positions in which menial services are performed. They have neither wealth, nor any great degree of power, but they hove control ovor their own actions, have the same rights, and are as essontially free, as the Senator who disgraces his robes by making such ungenerous flings at them ; of who debases his intellect to tho serfdom and slavery of party. Elevation beyond its deserts has been unfortunate for Andy. If this is tha way he is to attempt to make character in the Sonato, he will cover his best friends with shame and humiliation.AnnesT ot Sixteen CouxTERrErrgns is one Dat.

Upwards of $400 in counterfeit bills of tho Louisiana banks and bogns gold was found on them. On tho same day, a gang of thirteen counterfeiters were arrested, all at one time, in the city of Wayottc, and upwards of $4,000 in counterfeit money found on tHem. On tho same day a farmer was arrested at I rancis- ville for the same offence, and a manufactory of bogus money was found on bis premises , All these Jiaities arrived at Indianapolis on Saturday, and were to be examined before the United State Commissioner for counterfeiting the coin of tho Union.

' The Providence Journal has seen a .letter from one of the Mormon women at Salt Lake City, written to her daughter in this ticinity. She describes her situation there as very comfortable, and writes with full confidence of the security of the Saints under the protec tion of the prophet ; she scouts the Idea that they can be harmed by the United1 States-troops. She says : ' " I expect you have heard the loud talk of TTnplft Mam's (M1 f m-mw AAn.r. t. kill thelaints! " Now'you did? bu? Zow how the Saints rejoice at the folly of the poor Uentiles. There are about four thou- sand on the border of our Territory, with six hundred wagons, one naked mule to draw them, all the rest having died. The men are sitting in the snow about a hundred and fif. teen miles from u?. livinu on three crackers a aay, and three-quarters of a pound of beef a ween, inns you see that the old prophet's words are fulfilled : " Whoever shall fldit against Zion shall perish.'' The time is very near when cne man shall chase a thousand, ten snaa put ten thousand to tight. Zion is free ; she is hid tn one of the chambers of the Lord. We are a free people ; we do not iear uncie sours soldiers. We only fear our Father in Heaven. We are learning his com mandments every day, from his prophet, and I am determined to keep them. If you were here,- and could hear the prophet's voice as I do, and hoar the Lion of the Lord roar from the mountains, as I do, and know how near the scourge of the Lord is upon the Gen tiles, you would flee to the mountains with haste.

Charles Lamb tells his sad experience as a warning to young men, in the followtng language ; " The" waters have gone over me. But out of the black depth, could I be heard; I would cry out to all those who have but set a foot in the perilous flood. Could the youth to whom the flavor of his first wine is delicious as the opening Scene of life, or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise, look into ray desolation and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when a man shall feel him self going down a precipice with open eyes and a passive will to see bis destruction and htfve no power to stop it, and yet feel it all the way emanating from himself: to see all godliness emptied out of him, and yet notable to forgot a time when it was otherwise ; to bear about the piteous spectacle of his own ruin ; could he see my fevered eye, feverish" with the lost night's drinking.and feverishly looking for tonight's repetition of the' folly ; could he but feel the body of the death out of which I cry, hourly with feebler outcry, to be delivered it were enough to make him dash the spark ling beverage to the earth in alt the pride of its mantling temptation." If you havo a young friend who may be' m dangor of acquiring an appetite for stroftg drink, invite his attention to Charles Lairtfrs dreadful experience. Dnnurr of Giriiitf Credit.
