JULY 12. 
A NEW JIAETT VOLUME OF 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Commences with July, 1856, 
And hence the present is a most favorable time to renew 
former, or forward new subscriptions. Agents and friendly 
Subscribers now have au excellent opportunity to extend 
the circulation and usefulness of the Rural in their res¬ 
pective localities, and we trust they will do us and their 
neighbors and acquaintances the favor to lend a little in¬ 
fluence in that direction. 
As an inducement for the friends of the Rural to make 
a little extra effort in its behalf during the ensuing few 
weeks, we offer the following unusually liberal 
PREMIUMS FOE, NEW SUBSCRIBERS!

ROCHESTER, JULY 12, 1856. 
TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS. 
Advertisements, and articles or announcements re¬ 
quiring notice or publication in a certain number of the 
Rural, should reach us five days previous to the date of 
the paper for which they are designed. Almost every 
week we receive seasonable articles, notices of exhibitions, 
advertisements, he., just too late for insertion—and whose 
publication in the next number would be useless. 
To receive attention every communication must be ac¬ 
companied by the name of the writer, not necessarily for 
publication with the article, but as a guarantee of good 
faith and originality. If anonymous scribblers were aware 
of the warm reception awarded their lucubrations, and that 
before perusal, they would heed this item of information. 
Wo cannot become responsible for the manuscript of re¬ 
jected communications— and do not, at present, wish to 
engage additional contributors who require payment for 
their articles. 
Correspondents expecting answers by letter are informed 
that we have for some weeks been so situated as to render 
it impossible to bestow proper attention to any except the 
most urgent and*important duties Were editors and their 
families tree from the ills and afflictions of humaDity, there 
would be no occasion for this explanation. 
The News of the Week. 
Foreign advices this week are of a pacific 
and highly satisfactory character,on the subject 
of Anglo-American difficulties. Mr. Dallas is 
not to be dismissed, and the probabilities are 
that diplomatic relations will soon be opened 
again at Washington under a Charge d’Affairs. 
The British nation and the Government are 
taking the magnanimous view of the case, and 
are moving against a rupture of peaceable re¬ 
lations. Our treaty with Denmark hasexpiied, 
but the Sound Dues continue to be pp,id under 
protest by American merchantmen. All action 
on the subject has been suspended for one year 
by our Government, thus bequeathing the diffi¬ 
culties to the next Administration. 
In Congress some interesting events have 
transpired. Each branch has passed a Kansas 
bill; that of the Senate was introduced by Mr. 
Douglass, Chairman of the Territorial Commit¬ 
tee, and is a substitute for the original bill 
brought forward this session. It provides for 
an enumeration of the inhabitants of the Terri¬ 
tory ; the appointment of a commission by the 
President, to consist of five persons of various 
shades of political opinion and from different 
sections of the Union, to decide upon the eligi¬ 
bility of voters and register their names; an 
election of delegates to a Territorial Convention 
for the formation of a State Constitution ; the 
meeting of the Convention ; annuls the test 
laws and other objectionable enactments passed 
heretofore by the Territorial Legislature. This 
substitute is from the pen of Senator Toombs, 
of Georgia. 
The House bill provides for the immediate 
admission of Kansas as a free State under the 
Topeka Constitution. There is very little pro¬ 
bability of either of these bills passing the 
other house, as a hopeless antagonism exists be¬ 
tween them. 
Matters in and about Kansas Territory do not 
yet assume a peaceable aspect. Col. Sumner 
has driven out the armed parties, but they hover 
on the border and make incursions as opportu¬ 
nity offers. Several parties of armed men pro¬ 
ceeding to the territory- from the free States 
have been stopped at the river towns in Mis¬ 
souri, their arms taken away, and themselves 
sent back. This is done by self-constituted 
committees backed by armed forces and not by 
State or United States authority. Gen. Persi- 
fer Smith, of the army, has been sent to assume 
command in the territory. His instructions are 
impartially to prevent armed invasion from any 
quarter, and to afford protection to peaceable 
settlers at any cost. Col. Sumner will retain 
his present position, subject to the orders of 
Gen. Smith, who is entrusted with large dis¬ 
cretionary powers. 
A number of disasters by fire, storms, &c., 
are reported this week, records of which are 
made in another place. The wealher in this 
vicinity is quite dry aud rain is needed. Hay 
is quite ripe, and wheat rapidly maturing. 
Business of great interest and import?.nee to 
the country at large was considered in both 
branches of the National Legislature last week. 
In the Senate Mr. Cass said that a very grave 
transaction has occurred in the Pacific ports, 
according to accounts just received, into which 
an examination ought to be made. Governor 
Stevens, of Washington Territory, has pro¬ 
claimed martial law there, and has arrested a 
Judge of the District Court and sent him away 
some distance, thus closing the Court. Mr. Cass 
did not desire to prejudice the case, but it cer¬ 
tainly seemed a great assumption of power 
He therefore submitted a resolution calling on 
the President for the facts in relation to the 
matter, which was adonted. 
The House bill granting the right of way to 
the St. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad 
through the arsenal and magazine on the Jeffer¬ 
son Barracks was passed ; also the bill author¬ 
izing an additional number of arms for the use 
of California. 
The bill for the admission of Kansas, report¬ 
ed by the Committee on Territories, was taken 
up, and after a night session, in which the Free 
Soil Senators labored strenuously to defeat or 
delay it to no purpose, the bill passed by a vote 
of 33 to 12. The bill was immediately en¬ 
rolled, signed and sent to the House. 
House. —The report of the Kansas investigat¬ 
ing committee was received and read. It is 
very voluminous, occupying over 700 pages, and 
is signed by Messrs. Howard and Sherman.— 
Mr. Oliver, the minority of the Committee, 
will make a counter report. The conclusions of 
the Committee are that each of the elections in 
Kansas were carried by the invaders from Mis¬ 
souri, consequently the Legislative Assembly is 
an illegally constituted body and has not power 
to pass valid laws; therefore the enactments 
are void. The election of Whitfield, as dele¬ 
gate to Congress, was not held under any valid 
law, neither was that of Mr. Reeder in accor¬ 
dance with law. 
The House discussed at length the bill to 
admit Kansas as a free State under the Topeka 
Constitution, and on coming to a vote rejected 
the bill by one majority. Mr. Barclay, of Penn¬ 
sylvania, however, subsequently moved a recon¬ 
sideration, which prevailed—101 yeas to 99 
nays, and the bill was then passed by J00 yeas 
to 97 nays. Both Houses adjourned on Thurs¬ 
day over to Monday. 
The telegraph on Tuesday, July 8th, an¬ 
nounces that the Senate, on Monday, passed, 
by a two-thirds vote over the head of the Pres¬ 
ident’s late veto, the bill for the improvement 
of the mouth of the Mississippi river, and also 
that providing for removing obstructions from 
St. Clair Flats and the St. Mary’s river. If the 
House concur with a similar vote, which is 
likely, the President on this important matter 
becomes a cipher. 
Conflagrations. 
At five o’clock on the morning of the 3d inst., 
a fire broke out on board the steamer St. Clair, 
at the upper end of the St. Louis Levee, which 
was soon communicated to five'other steamers 
lying along side and the whole six boats were 
entire'y consumed ; loss about $10,000. The 
boats were all old ones, except one. 
About five minutes after the bell rang for 
dinner, July 1st, and after the operatives had 
left, a fire broke out in the spinning room of No. 
1 Mill of the Nashua Corporation, at Nashua, 
N. H., and in an incredible short space of time 
the building was entirely destroyed. The 
sweeper who remained in the mill, made her 
escape upon the roof of the additional part, from 
which she fell to the ground and was fatally in¬ 
jured. Had the fire occurred while the mill 
was in operation, the operatives in the room 
above would inevitably have perished. Ten or 
twelve other buildings were destroyed consist¬ 
ing of dwelling houses and stores. The loss to 
the mill corporation is $200,000, upon which 
there was insurance for ?tbout one half. 
The wharf of Gale, Dudley <t Co., at Cam- 
bridgeport, Mass., was burnt the same same 
night, together with their large stock of lumber. 
Loss about $40,000. Several adjoining build¬ 
ings were also burnt. 
A large portion of the beautiful village of 
Camden, Qneidh county, was destroyed by fire 
on Saturday night, June 28. 
A very destructive fire occurred on Monday 
afternoon, 30th ultimo, at Corning. It took in 
Payne tfe Olcott’s machine shop, and extended 
through Market street to Erie Avenue, on both 
sides, a distance of about 100 rods. The ma¬ 
chine shop, the Corning hotel, and many other 
buildings, including stores, dwellings, &c., were 
burned ; loss not stated. 
The five story brick flour mill of Penros E. 
Warner, Philadelphia, took fire Sunday evening 
lalt, and was totally destroyed with the ma¬ 
chinery. The flames spread to the adjoining 
building on the west. The entire loss is not less 
than $50,000. 
Provincial Items. 
There was a great boat race at Halifax, N. 
S., on Thursday, at which the greatest speed on 
record was made by a Halifax row-boat owned 
by James Pryor, which made five miles in 28 
minutes. 
The U. S. surveying steamer Jefferson Davis 
has passed up the St. Lawrence, through the 
Canadian canals, into Lake Erie. 
The Toronto Globe of the 27th ult., says:_ 
The receipts of wheat on the Toronto market 
from wagons and cars are daily increasing.— 
Not less than 18,000 bushels were sold yester- 
day, and the receipts for the week ending last 
night were upwards of 54,000 bushels. On 
’Change 14,000 were sold yesterday. 
The Assembly has adopted £50,000 appro¬ 
priation for public buildings at Quebec; but 
the Legislative Council refuses to concur—in¬ 
sisting that there shall be no action until after 
the next election. 
A bill incorporating the Transatlantic Tele¬ 
graph Company, which had passed one branch 
of the Canadian Legislature, has been defeated 
in the Legislative Council. 
On Saturday week the corporation and citi¬ 
zens of Montreal gave a public reception and 
banquet to the 39th regiment of British troops, 
leturned from the Crimea. About twelve hun- 
died persons sat down to the banquet, and the 
■whole affair appears to have been executed with 
a magnitude and brilliance worthy of the libe¬ 
ral and public spirited citizens of Montreal. 
The Galt Reformer gives the particulars of 
an accident, on Monday week, on the Galt 
branch. A gravel train was passing over a 
Miscellaneous Items. 
Heport of tlie Kansas Committee. 
The testimony embodied in the report of the 
Investigating Committee seems to establish the 
following facts and conclusions : 
1 . That each election in the Territory held 
under the organic or alleged Territorial law has 
been carried by organized invasions from the 
State of Missouri. 
2. That the alleged Territorial Legislature 
was an illegally constituted body, and had no 
power to pass valid laws. 
3. That these alleged laws have not, as a 
general thing, been used to protect persons and 
property and to punish wrong. 
4. That the election under which the sitting 
delegate, John W. Whitfield, holds his seat, was 
not held in pursuance of any valid law. 
'. That the election under which the con¬ 
testing delegate, Andrew H. Reeder, claims his 
seat, was not held in pursuance of law r . 
6 . That Andrew H. Reeder received a greater 
number of votes of resident citizens than John 
W. Whitfield for delegate. 
7. That in the present condition of the Ter¬ 
ritory a fair election cannot be held without a 
new census, a stringent and well guarded elec¬ 
tion law, the selection of impartial judges, aud 
the presence of United States troops at every 
place of election. 
8 . That the various elections held by the 
people of the Territory preliminary to the for¬ 
mation of the State Government, have been as 
regular as the disturbed condition of the Ter¬ 
ritory would allow; and that the Constitution 
passed by the Convention, held in pursuance of 
said elections, embodies the will of a majority 
of the people. 
Too Late. — Many excellent and timely arti¬ 
cles and announcements—notices of forthcoming 
trials of implements, society exhibitions, season¬ 
able suggestions, &c. — reach us too late for 
insertion or mention in the number intended, 
and whose publication the subsequent week 
would be of little or no interest or benefit.— 
Correspondents will please bear in mind that, 
though dated on Saturday, the Rural is "made 
up” on Tuesday morning, and that nothing, 
however important, can be inserted at a later 
period. This paragraph will be a sufficient ex¬ 
planation to friends and correspondents for the 
non-appearance of various notices and articles 
which failed to reach us in time for publication 
in the number for which they were designed. 
The New York Post states that at the time 
of maturity hist week, neither the interest on 
the State debt of California, nor that on the 
debt of the city of San Francisco, had been 
provided for. Some leading men connected 
with California, have been negotiating for a loan 
to pay the State interest, but the negotiation 
has not yet terminated favorably. No one will 
advance the money on the credit of the State. 
The New York papers contains the names of 
three hundred and thirty vessels, ships, brigs 
and schooners, reported lost between the 1st of 
January last and the 1st of July inst. The 
total amount of loss is set down at $15,890,500. 
This inclndes $1,150,000 expended in repairs 
on vessels which came iro;o port damaged. 
A riot occurred at the Fillmore demonstra¬ 
tion meeting in Washington on the evening of 
June 30th, during which Mayor Magruder and 
^several of the police were attacked with stones 
and bludgeons, and the Mayor was badly in¬ 
jured. The mob was finally dispersed, and one 
or two arrests made. 
Dates from Mexico up to the 22d ult,., state 
that the Spanish question was unsettled, some 
of the papers assert that it was in course of ar¬ 
rangement, and others that the Spanish minis¬ 
ter was prepared to leave. The Mexican Gov¬ 
ernment were concentrating its forces on points 
contiguous to Vera Cruz. Congress had unani¬ 
mously repealed Santa Anna’s decree in favor 
of the Jesuits. 
During the last year not one of the 3,461,419 
passengers carried on the Connecticut railroads 
has received the slightest injury. The year 
before only two passengers were injured out of 
a total of 2,000,000. Nearly one thousand 
highways were crossed at grade, and but one 
accident has occurred at all these crossings the 
past year. 
The St. Louis Pepublican of June 20th says : 
A quantity of new white wheat was received 
yesterday from Troy, Madison Co., Illinois—

its appearance in our market this season. 
Three young girls, named Acker, Wilson 
and Merritt, were run over by a passenger train

A ruBLic meeting has been authorized by the 
authorities of Quebec, to devote £300 towards 
giving a proper reception to the regiment from 
the Crimea, who are to be stationed in that city. 
A Printer Missing. —The friends of Charles 
H. Sedgwick are exceedingly anxious to learn 
where he is at present, or to receive such infor¬ 
mation as will place them in the way to find 
him. He resided in Chicago a number of years 
ago, and was connected with one of the first 
daily papers there, after which he went further 
West, and all trace of him has been lost. Pub¬ 
lishers of papers who will copy this paragraph 
will confer a favor, and information may be ad¬ 
dressed to Robert Sedgwick, Moline, Rock 
Island County, Ill. 
Cattle from Beyond the Mississippi.— Twen¬ 
ty car loads of large and very fine looking cat¬ 
tle, which came from the extreme western por¬ 
tion of Iowa, passed over the Central Railroad 
one day last week, destined for the New York 
market. This, we are told, is the first time that 
cattle have been brought to the East from the 
western side of the Mississippi river. They 
were raised near Council Bluffs, were driven 
afoot to Davenport, and were then placed aboard 
the cars and brought across the river to Rock 
Island on the new railroad bridge.— Syracuse 
Journal. 
The Living Tide. —The Irish journals are 
filled with accounts of emigration movements. 
Thousands were preparing to leave the Old 
World for the United States, Canada, or Aus¬ 
tralia. The Tuam Herald, explaining the causes, 
says:—“It is so difficult to procure land at home, 
on any terms, that men with capital sufficient 
to till the soil with profit to themselves and the 
landlords, are compelled to leave the country. 
The competition for land scarcely ever reached 1 be non est ’ 
a higher pitch than at this moment.” 
The Canandaigua Academy justly ranks 
among the very best institutions of its class in 
the State. It not only offers superior educa¬ 
tional advantages, but a good home in one of 
the most beautiful and salubrious villages in 
the land — a very desirable combination. See 
announcement of the Principal. 
Legal Decision.— The New York Court of 
Appeals has reversed the judgment of the Su¬ 
perior Court of New York in the New Haven 
Railroad Company. The decision goes.the full 
length of holding that the Company is not lia- 
ble in any form for Ike spurious stock issued by I representation of his dramlui wolks in furor of 
Schuyler. I he amount involved is nearly two 1 
millions of dollars. 
Large Irade.— The New York Evening Post 
estimates that from six to seven millions of dol¬ 
lars are annually employed in prosecuting the 
ice trade in the United States, and that the 
sales do not fall short of thirty millions of dol 
lars annually, amounting, even in its present 
imperfect development, to about one-third of 
the value of the cotton crop, and one-fourth 
of that of the wheat crop of the whole country. 
Sheridan Knowles. —The London Morning 
Advertiser lately announced that Sheridan 
Knowles repented him of the services which he 
had rendered to the “wicked stage.” At this

Knowles that true repentance can be best prov¬ 
ed by giving up the fees which arise from the
