A gentleman by the name of Uopps, who had just arrived in the territory, who bad taken no part in the troubles in any wns taking a buggy home in which he hod taken his wife from the riYer to his brother-inlaw's, near this placo. In that unarmed, unsuspecting, and unprepared condition, he was met by a man by the name of Fuget, who had just bet a five-collar hat that ho would "take a scalp before night." lie asked Mr. 11. bat a question or two, and then shot him through the temple, took off his scalp, partially concealod the body, and made his escape to Leivven worth, whero he exhibited the bloody scalp as cvidcnco of his bravery.

Such facts only go to establish the other fact, that slavery" is in a position of defensive antagonism to Christianity. They are in a state of war. The infldei abolitionism of Garrison and his clique is less dreaded by the slaveholder thaA the preacher of the unadulterated faith of Jesus, a* characterized in the Gospels. Nor is this hostile attitude unappreciated by tho religious bodies of the country. Save in a few snch instances as those we have alluded to, the Christian minUter at the South is silent upon that giant sin whioh shelters and authorises in its very nature all other sins. So Northern religious associations, in order to circulate their Duplications in the Slav* States, are obliged to exclude every reference to slavery. The existence of hostilities is thus officially recognised. The only method of inculcating tho teachings of our Saviour consists in maiuing, disfiguring, and degrading them, until they lose all those divine proportions with which they sprang from his lips. Thus mutilated they are allowed ; jnst as the Romanist tolerates the Bible when profoundly overlaid with doctrinal notes and interpretations. The evangel, thus authorised in the Slave States, is but a feeble reflex of the primitive faith. It is no longer a Gospel preached to the poor; it carries no liberty to the captive; it unbinds no chain*; it frees none that is oppressed; it rails to teach that, "As he would that men should do unto yoo, do ye also unto them." The instrumentalities and energies which systematixed benevolence eudcavors to maintain everywhere, are there paralysed and ineffectual. In a word, religion and tho rights of Gi.d are there fettered with the same chain that manacles the right* Gospel of Christ—we say it with deliberation and with sorrow—ir nut and cannot be preached in the presence of slavery. lias, then, the sincere Christian no duties to perform as such in the present political crisis ? lias the injunction "go praacn my gospel to every creatare" loet its obligation? The question now stated to this people is, shall slavery, an anti-Christion energy which poisons and expels pure religion, extend its area and shut out other broad empires of God's earth from the benellt of God's wordt Where itexistsalready we may shelter ourselves behind the command to submit ourselves to the powers that be, and define to combat with the misguided sentiments of the people; but when it proceeds in the spirit ot aggression to rob the kingdom of Christ of some other and the fairest of its provinces, and interpose to arrest the spread of the gospel, and cripple still further the activities that would give the light of truth to every human creature nas not the soldier of Christ an inevitable duty to perform? Should he not lace his armor on, and enter the tight, resolute to repel the foul invasion? Will he stand excused when ho pleads hereafter that the cause of his master does not flourish in the great ompire shadowed by the Kocky Mountains because of the existence of Slavery there ? Will he not rather be asked, "Why, after seeing its blighting influences close at hand, seeing its prescriptive and persecuting spirit, its intolerance ot plain gospel truth, and its resolution to extend its dominion world-wide if possible, why did you not withstand it then, when overy consideration pressed you, when the alarm was shouted in rojjr ears, and the peril full in yoar sight.'' In that day, what excuse drawn from the textbook of the politician will avail the recreant soldier of God ? It will not do to say that religion is of spiritual concern; it has nothing to do with the affairs of the world. Christianity has no higher praise than tJu* it is practical ; that it is vital; that it has reference to life; that it enters into, and has prescriptions for, evorv emergency of human existence— The minister has no more solemn duty than to ipply it to the rising incidents of tins moment; to adapt its injunctions to the requirements jf busy life; so Itfeat the daily walk and conversation of the disciple, as well jgs his inward and spiritual condition, maf absorb and reflect light from tit* W divine fountain.— A. gospel with e narrower scope than this ii not the gospel of the Gallilean; it is a gospel if faith without works; of conviction without iction; an enthusiastic abstraction, not arul« Df every-day practice. The Christian who in lis closet pray* that the government of hii jountry be administered in equity, and thai ts rulers be endowed with wisdom and jusice, what ia he better than a hypocrite unlesi is endeavor to realise his aspirations by cor -espondingaotion and exhortation among hii el lows ? The minister who reads the ttail] formula invoking the deity to give oar magis (rates wisdom so they mar rule the country ii jeace and righteousness, how shall he be par loned if, from the " ** be o»it hi jongregatien suet ' ~  hem to the choice - — — ir  ery finu vocatot. rue Virginian." —At auburn I «u confronted Hy aaothex Virginian the owner ef slaves—who stated bat "Slavery had degenerated Virginia to a Hth rate State wheraa, had she been a free itato she would have been the foremost one in he Union: and that if she were to emancipate ler slaves to day. in fire years, by the enull ration of Yankee farmers, the value of the whole State would be enhanced four fdd." I said to* him "why dont you bave courage snougft to say so among your own people." He replied, "Why a few pollitieiang govern us and 1 would be expelled from the State.' A Fillmore meeting in Buffalo was held some Si* weeks sine, and a Southern lawyer from Baton llouge, boldly proclaimed ''that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was not asked for by lite South, the boon was tendered to them by Northern Benedict Arnolds, for Southern favors—but their names are as infamous in the South West as they are to the constituents they betrayed." A Mr. Paaaiic, from Teaaessee, also said, "South Carolina thinks of governing and dictating to a Southern oonfedracy. and that she mono polite* all the chivalry and intelligence of the South; but thank God, the growing Southwest will not submit to her exoesnive arrogance!" A lawyer from Kentucky also said: "JUckitom boatU that he iciU be President OF A SOUTHERN oonfedracy in less than ten years. Well he may be but not over Kentucky. She has too much pride—she cannot think of » man of such and infamous charaoter but with soorn. Kentucky will be a free and prosperous State in lesa than thirty yean."

A cotsmporary truly says that it is time that the Democratic party should take here, as it has elsewhere, high and clear ground on the Starry Question. Why pretond that slavery is wrong in any sense, when the testimony of all the Buchanan leaders and newspapers in the South, and in oertain parts of the North, is in favor of it as a rightful institution ? Um not slavery always existed somewhere ? Were there not white Serft in England formerely, as there are In Russia now f Is it not therefore a oowardly evasion of the truth to contend that we should tolerate in this country ua slavery but that of nenoes T Every man who has travelled in tluD South, has seen hundreds, or perhaps thousands of slaves so nearly white, that no one would suspect they had a drop of black blood in their reins, But slaves they are—and of coursc they must becanse the laws of the Slave State* make no distinction of blood however, Is a false distinction, according to the most able writers and speakers of tne great Democratic party in the South. They Doldly and honorably declare that slavery should lie confined to no particular race of men—that every white white mechanic—every white practical farmer—every white working man, would be better off as a slavs than as a free man, and therefore ought to be a slave. Read the words of the highest authorities in the South, The Ric hmond (Va„) Inquirer, the oldest Democratic paper in the Old Domiaim, a most able supporter of Buchanan for the Presidency, ana of the Cincinnati Platform as the only doctrine that will secure the sstaUUtawii of slavery in Ksuns*, and in all the Free Tsnttorfss of the North—this paper speaks thus on this question. We take its own fair wd forcible words: " Until recently, the defence of slavery has labored under great difficulties, because its apologists (for they were mere apologists,) took half way grounds. They confined the defence of slavery to were slavery; thereby gUrisgup the slavery principle, admitting other forms of slavery to be wrong. "The line of defence, however, is now 3hanCred. The South maintains that slavery is right, natural and necessary, and does not lepead upon difference of COMPLEXION.— The laws of the Slave States justify the holding of WHITE MEN in bondage.'* This, we repeat, is the honest language of the Richmond Evftuser, the staunoh ad rotate of Mr. Buchanan, and the organ of his Iriend Ooverner Wise, who, with the elear seleulation for whieh he is remarkable, has ihown the value of slavery extension to Virginia and proved that slaves bast worth one housand dollars each in California and other iarts of the great West, if the good old sysem could only be extended there.

Tin subscribers have opened an office of deposit, discount and exchange, in this place, of Wyoming avenue, opposite the Wyo ming House, two doors northeast of Mr. Chase's store. The plans for the construction of the canal across the Isthmus of Suez, connecting the Mediterranean and tho lied Sea, havo licon already docided upon and approved by the international commission, appointed to examine the oountry and report as to tho feaibility of the project. It is calculated that it will take six years to complete the worlt, and that it will require an outlay of between thirty-five and thirty-six million dollars. The first year is to be employed in constructing an auxiliary canal from the Nile to the Isthmus, to supply fresh water for tho laborers, and, to afford a ready means of transporting provisions and materials, and iu building a viaduct to Pelusium. This viaduct is already in process of construction at the expense of Said Pasha, the Viceroy of Egrp'- At the same time, stone quarries will be oponed and put iu working order; railroad built, connecting the quarries with tho works; the necessary instruments collected, and contractu entered into for the excavator*, tow-boats, transports, 4c.t necessary for the construction of a canal. During the second year it is proposed to connect the Nile and the lted Sea, by opening a trench between Suez and Lake Timsah sufficiently wide and deep to be navigable by the ordinary Nile boats ; and it is also designed to commence the construction of the harbor of Suez, lay tho foundation of the jetties and breakwater—and bring a portion of the adjoining land into cultivation. In the third year the works froaa lake Timsah to the Mediterranean entrance of tho canal is to be put in way of construction. Tho fourth, fifth and sixth years aro to be employed in completing the excavations, embankments, sluices, jetties, 4c., in be tiding A harbor of refuge, and in further .extending the agricultural operations. The average sum to be expended in each year, is estimated at upwards of $6,000,000. The great obstacle to the execution of this vast work has always been the difference of the level of the two seas, and it has been tho't by many eminent engineers to be insurmountable; but the commission, composed of some of the most renowned men of science in Europe, appointed to aid M. de Lesseps and the Egyptian engineers in the survey of the land -~iD short, to see if the obstacles were not to be ovorcjme—have found that it is possible to obviate the chief difficulty and maintain the level of the canal by means of basins at both termini, and that in Ceth«r respects the work is comparatively easy. The French and Egyptian governments are said to be most anxious to promote this great and useful undertaking, but the English government ia said to regard the prcyect with disfavor—nwoording to some, for political reasons; according to others, because the feasibility and utility of the proposed Canal are much questioned by English engineers of note. Another parig of #njnneere have been sent to Egypt lately lit the English government, to examine all the details again, minutely, and report accordingly. It is believed these jgentlemen are feoUned, as far an their investigation* have gpne, to coincide with the European Commission, and that their report will be favorable. If suoh be the case, it is believed that the Sultan's firman to .commence tho works will be immediately granted, and the stock promptly subscribed. •iiywhere, or would do il trine of white as wall ai vlopted in our country, of Louisiana, jDuta the \ In one of his fine, ohes, ho lately said: opponents of slavery to te laborers of the North are ted, or as comfortable as ith.

Kvcr since last May raany of the "Goorgia Regulators," and "Border Ruffians," lmve been congregating in different portions of the Territory, building fortifications, fixing places of deposit for provisions, arms and ammunition, and otherwise exhibiting indications of war, or a campaign of tome sari. Thin* things continued to the 11th inst., to a great extent unnotioed by tho opposite party. But before that time, many or our friends had suffered from the personam these fortifications, in various ways. Horse-stealing, house-burning, and marauding of every kind, and occasionally the murder of some of our citizens. Every means that oould bo had been used, of a pacific character, until it was the almost unanimous declaration that "these places must be broken up." Them were sojno, however, that still entertained doubts m to the seal character and design of these denote, Ac. Accordingly on the 10th inst., Major Hoyt visited one of these dens. A prisoner that was then aiawng tbaro, informs us that he ww kindly received, and conducted through the several apartments, and was soon missing.— The next day he was found by some of our men uot far trim the fori, buried in a shallow ;ravc, in some brash.
