In tho Into election in Kansas, the beauties of tbo practical workings of tho Squatter Soverignty principle was most forcibly illus trated. Tho election was earned by the Missiourians at tho point of the knife and tho muzzle of the pistol. Tho milliner in which tho ballot bons was preserved iu iU purity is well illustrated by the following extract from the He rail of Freedom Tim Voting at Lawbenck. In this District, whero tho late census report indi cates but 800 voters, the election shows thero were 1039 votes polled, nearly three times as great a number as legitimately be longed hero J and yet alurge number of our actual residents, mid purticulnily thoso from a distance, did not excrciso their right to the elective franchise, as they found they could not do so without endangering their lives. Tho Froo-Stato strength in this District is full 6ve to one, and. yet tho Pro-Slavery ticket has a majority of moro than three to one. - Mr. Edwin Bond, who went to vote in tho . ... . , 4i. moruinr. was lorcioio ejected irora vuu ground, and pursued by an angry crowed io the bank of the river with curses and threat ening of destruction, and compelled to jump down the declivity, when a revolver was discharged at him, and the ball nnrrow'.y escaped his head. Ho ran along tho bench, and nnnlly escaped unseamed. Vomits Ahmed. We repaired to the polls about 10 o'clock in tho morning, but retired on Hie assurance oi numerous menus that wo wcro in irrent personal danger, thinking it best to defer our rights as an elector to a later period in the day, when it was hoped better order would prevail. At about four o'clock we again visited tho polls, and discharged our duties as a freeman with out molestation. It was tho first time wo ever appeared at the ballot-box with an in strument of defense, and we trust it will bo tho last time it will be deemed necessary to be guarded with a retinue of friends, each provided with Uowie-knivcs ana revolvers, besides having several of tho latter instru ments about our own person ready for imme diate use. The Voting at Tecukseh. After it was satisfactorily ascertained that the num ber of persons imported into Lawrence, from Missouri, was greater than tho occasion demanded, a company of 200 was detached from the main body, and took up their line of march for Tecumseh, wiih tho view of overbalancing tho large number of free voters in that District, a majority of whom are located at Topeka. They arrived at their destination in time to participate in the fraud there practiced upon tho ballot-box. j V hen they had accomplished tue object ot their mission, they returned iu a body to their encampment near Lawrence, whore they remained till Saturday morning, when they toolt tueir unai departure lor Missouri. M r. Burgess, one of the Judges appointed by the Governor, was violently threatened ; a pistol was three times snapped in his face, a club nourished over Ins head, 1 ill linaliy he was compelled to proclaim tho election adjourned. 1 ho innb then selected a now ionrd, witn two drunken Secretaries, who took posses sion of die ballot-box, and allowed no per son to approach it unless be was right on the "Goose question" a slang phrase used among the Missourians, implying they are iu favor of extending the institution of Sla vory over Kansas. No questions wcro asked the voter as to his citizenship or place of residence ; no oath was administered, or other test re quired, save an assurance of support to the Pro-Slavery ticket- Au aged geutlnman, who felt disposed to exercise the privileges conferred upon him by the laws and Constitution, approached the ballot-box, when he was offered a Pro Slavery vote. He remarked that he did not vote that ticket, when some one knock ed off his hat, another cuffed him, while a third applied his boot, and forced him from the groutid, threatening to put a bullet through him unless he left inittantcr. Thefiiendsof Freedom, finding ihem selves borne down by the invaders, quietly retired from the polls ; and we are assured no free-state votes, otuer tnan tnree or four, were cast in that District, though that parly was largely in tho majority ; while tho Pro-Slavery marauders from Missouri polled between four and five hundred. The late census returns showed that, thus far, every election district in the Territory was settled by a large majority of voters from the f ree States, and that, if left to the ordinary course of things, the Legislative Assembly of the Territory wotildea unit upon the subject of human rights. The Kansas rionetr has the following encouragement for tho Blave-drivers : "Persons need not feel alarmed in bring ing their slaves to Kansas. This will be a Slave State ascertain as two and two make four. We would, therefore, say to our friends at a distance, who hare been making inquiries in regard to the safety of bringing slaves here, to bring them along, and emi grate at once. The result of the election on last Friday, ought to satisfy everybody wai mis win be a Nave state. 1 uere are a number of slave already in the Territory, and the cry is 'still they come' by every steamboat or flutboat arrival. "Kansas will remain as she now is, Pro- Slavery to the core ; so our slavebolding t J AMKftlUA .kMwt aoashl i OB.BOOZT OXIY, okgOOXC gg.B.ITOKY, IATPMAT, friemlit needn't be at all uneasy, but all who are dinposcd to emigrate, let them (tome along at once, and bring their slaves with them, mid tnHke no further inquiries about Kansas being a Slave Stale. It will never bo anything else! and we shall consider onrself responsible for what wo assort." The St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazelle makes this statement: "The entiro Territory, (of Kann) so far as wo have been ablo to learn, has gono Pro Slavery by an overwhelming majoriiy. Thero will not, probably, bo a single Anti Slavery member in tho coming Legislature. It gives us iiifinnto pleasure to mako this announcement. 'Coming events cast their shadows before,' and this fixes almost be yond the possibility of a doubt the future prospects of Kansas. Our neighbors across tho river can now send for their negroes. Others can go in with their property, with perfect safety. Missouri can now breathe easy again." Tbe baubling Un. This is the first day of enforcement of the "Gambling Low." That, heretofore curso of the million, which incubus like, has rested on the family of many a mechanic and labor ing man, will now, we hope, bo swept away forever. If the "crave legislators" of the State at largo, had done no other business than this during the session, they deserve the thanks of every mnn and woman throughout California, and they have them from all, save the jackalls of tho "holls," who devil like, preyed on men's vitality, day and night. Where desolation has reigned su preme, from year to year, around the hearth stone of many an honest artizan, mechanic, and laborer, smiles of conlent, and tho abundance that produces it, will hereafter bo seen. Tho father, instead of appearing day after day in torn garments, soiled linen, and boots down at tho heel, will in future be seen like a man, and bis wife and child ren, instead of presenting the appearance of semi-paupers abroa d, and inmates of a poor house at homo, will once more possess tho appliances of comfort in tho shape of food and clothing. Tho landlord's frown will not have to he encountered j tho grocery bill will not re main so long unpaid, that further needful supplies must bo cutoff; the milkman will not dolo out his suspicious looking liquid, as it were bv compulsion, and tho "staff of life" itself will no longer come in quantities like n dandy's cane, more ornamental than useful. Such pictures as the above, are not overdrawn, ana wo are sorry to say thou sands in this city, and in all parts of the State, have felt the truthfulness of their dark sido, but hereafter we hopo the bright est portions only will meet their gaze, i'ho half thief half beggar, a cross between the cut-purse and pauper, whose wits and im- pudenco have alike been taxed to eite out a miscrablo subsistence, looks most disconso late to-day ; and well ho may, as his is no enviable position. Iho gambling houso beggar ana nuuy, is bv the enforcement of this law, and the "Va grant Act," placed in the position that tho Hying fish is at sea, when, pursued by a dolphin in his native element, he, to escapo that danger, takes to his wings, and litcs, as it were, into the open maw of the first gull, pelican, or fish-hawk, that may be wheeling his fliorbt over the surface of ocean. The gambling houses are closed, the gambling house beggars nro homeless and friendless, with tho alternative of honest labor or tuo county prison to chooso between. What they will do now, is a mystery to all, and we expect it is to themselves at this moment, and the dilemma in their minds resta be tween work and want. They must do some thing loafing is out of question ; stealing will be dangerous, and to work won may they sing, "Oh, no, we never mention it ; therefore they should at once apply to tho Russian Consul for employment to aeiona Potropoloski and its ice fields. There will be little danger there, but here thoro is much, and they must certainly emigrato or labor, and surely they will not resort to tho latter. S. F. E. Journal. TUe K.era Hlver Mines. So little has been said lately of the Kern river diggings, that wo feel inclined to give our readers an item on the subject, by way of reminding them that "such tilings were," and did "exoite our special wonder." A writer to the San Joaquin Republican says that tbe highest wages made at the present time are from one to five dollars per day ; the average being about three dollars. The first diggings met with are on White River. Tosey Flat is the next place approached from the valley of the Joaquin, situated on Tosey Creek, 20 miles from White river and 10 miles frem Greenhorn Gulch. It i first locked in by low hills, which, in turn, are sur rounded by high and precipitate mountains, and is tbe head of wagon navigation, from which supplies are packed on in ules to the scattering miners. There are no persons engaged at work m tins im mediate neighborhood. On Greenhorn Gulch about S00 diggers are employed, of which there are not more than 20 who are making what is called good wages. Fifteen miles from Greeuhorn, nnd contiguous to the fork of Kern river, on the north side, are Hogeye, Mismo, Maiden and Rich Gulches, all of which have yielded fair wages to a lucky few, but are now nearly abandoned for tbe want of water. Money has been raised by contribution and the contract given for the construction of a ditch that will supply Rich Gulcb. In this region flour is selling at 18 to 20c per pound, sugar 50c, coffee We, bacon 50c Whisky plenty in all directions. Sen Frtneitct Sun. ef MWa ar! C latai, . The War la Crimea.

Tbt allies were theo osnerviug with great attention the reoeedinff of the Russian la the valley of Daidar, and were expecting an attack on Dalaklava, par ticularly as they had learned that General Wag ner had received reinforcements from the corps of Grn. Liprandi. The Russian force ar said lo be distributed at follows: At Perekop la eucamp ed the corps of dragoons, a division of light cavalry, aud various other detachments, amounting In all to 30,000 men, under th command of General Pawloffl. AtSimpheropol there are about 45,000 men, commanded by General Read.

Tho Mouiteur de l'Armee, however, says that several foreign journals have exaggerated the amount of (he Russian fore in th Crimea, slating it at 170,000 or 200,000 men. This journal affirms that the total effective of the enemy' troops, including the garrison of Sevastopol and tbos sta tioned At Tchernsya, Baklcbi, Serai, Simphero pol, dec, and before Kupatoria, doea not exceed 115,000, of which 35,000 belong lo tho cavalry and special corps.

The Russian were in great force around th place to the number of 50,000, it it said and there wis much talk of some decisive move' ment on their part but it was not thought prob able ; as the Russians could not hold the place if they look It, as it I completely under the gun of the fleet, and besides, the town is fust assuming the character of a fortress, and oonnot be taken but with much dificulty, if at all. Bgroaa SctuToroi., March 10. Our siege works are a kind of Peueloe' web. Thy are al way approaching completion, and never (or at least very slowly) attaining it The matter Is in this wise: Our engineer now and then see a point to be gained by the erection of a work or battery at a particular place. The plans are made and the working partiea ar sent down, and after a few cas ualties the particular work I executed, but as it generally happens that the enemy are quite alive to our proceedings, without wailing for their copies of the "Time1 we find that the Russians have, by the time that the work is finished, thrown up nnoth er work lo enfilade or meet our guns with a direct or angular fire. Then it becomes necessary to do something to destroy the advantageous position of the enemy and fresh plans ir drawn, and mora tranche are dug and parapet erected. Tbe same thing takes place a before, and th process may be almost In definite but for the space of soil. The front ef Se battopol, between English, French, and Russians, looks liko a huge grave-yard, covered with freshly made mounds of dark earth In all directions. The Russiuns mount about three guns te our two, and if they have only artillerymen to man thein the only effoot that we can reasonably expect to gain by our fire, when it does open, is the silencing of a certain number of the piece which bear on our advance with tlio most injurious effect CAMr near KiDmoi, March 16. We o(e bless ed at last with all the genial influences of a glori ous spring. Of course, the beneficial effects of this fine weather on the health and spirit of the army are very great, and become more striking duy after day. One great sign of returning comfort and good spirits can not be overlooked. The "voice of song'' is heard once more in the tents, and the men have commenced tuning up their pipes, and chanting their old familiar choruses once more. The rail way pushes its iron feelers up the hill-side lo the camp. Tbe wiro ropes and roller for th trains have been particlly laid down. Tbe sanatorium is working in the most satisfac tory manner, and has produced the best results. Watercourses are damned in, and the waters of lit streamleta are caught up in reservoirs to provide against drouth. Provisions are abundant Tbe impression which has long existed in the minds of many that Sebastopol can not now be ta ken by assxult, considering the position of tbe north forts, the fleet, and tbe army outside, gains ground. It is generally thought the army outside ought to be attacked and dispersed, or that the in vestment of the place should be completed, before we can hope to reduce the city and the citadel. But coupled with this impression is tbe far stronger conviction that, bad our army marched ou tlio place on the 25th of September, it would have fall en almost without resistance. ' A Russian officer, who was taken prisoner a tje U'ine ago, and who knew the state of tbe city well, declared very" recently that he could not account for our "infatuation" in allowing the Russians to throw up works and regain heart, when we could have walked into tbe place, unless under th up ponition thai the hand of the Almighty waa ia it, and that he bad blinded the vision and perverted the judgment of our General.

My dispatch of tho l?th of February (March 2) announced to you tho accession of liis Majesty Alexander IL I had tho honor at tho same time to send vou the im perial manifesto issued on tho first day of the Government of our august sovereign. That document expresses tho profound con viction with which his Majesty recognizes tho importance of tho duties ho is called up on to luiiill. Divine rroviuence imposes those duties upon him in tho midst of a great trial. In ascending tho throne of his ancestors tho bmporor finds Russia engagod in a struggle unparalleled in the annuls of history at tho commencement of a new reign. Our august sovereign accepts that trial, confiding in God, iuspircd with the sentiment of security in tho unshaken fideli ty of his people, with a religious veneration fur the momory of his well-beloved futhor. With filial piety ho welcomes (acctuillf) in his succession two obligations, which are equally sacred to him. I he first exacts from His Majesty the development of all tho power wlucu it uas pleased uoa to piuce in his hands for the dufenso of the integrity and of tho honor of Russia. Tho second imposes upon Uis Majesty the duty of con secrating with perseverance his care for tho accomplishment of the work of peace, the bases of which wore sanctioned by the Em peror Nicholas. Faithful to tho idea which manifested itself in the last disositions of his august father, tho bmpcror has renewed tho powers and confirmed tho instructions with which tho Russian Plenipotentiaries were provided since tho month of Decem ber, nt the period when tho negotiations at Vienna were to bo opened. In this manner the intentions of the Emperor Nicholas will be conscientiously fulfilled. Their object was: To restore to Russia nnd to Europe tho blessings of peace ; to consolidate the free dom of worship and the wolfure of tho Chris tian populations of the East w ithout dis- UUCUOQ oi riiea , io jmhcu iiiu iiuniuiiibiro of the Principalities undor a collective guar anty : to assure the frco navigation of the Danube, to tho advantago ot tne commerce of all nations ; to put au end to the rivalries of tho great Powers in the East, so as to prevent the return of new complications ; finnllv, to como to an understanding with them on tho revision of tho treaty by which they recognized the principlo of tho closing of tho Dardanelles and of the Dosphorus, and thereby to arrive at an honorable ar rangcinent for all parties.

" Tho Emnoror will trnn- quilly await iho manifestation of the views which guido the policy of the Cabinets call ed unon to solve, in concert with Rushia, this question, which js of a general interest for all Christendom. Our august Sovereign will join the deliberation in a sincere spirit of concord. Kuch is the thought which am charged by llis Majesty to express to you in his name.
