Tulnga on the Border.- The correspondence of tho St. Louis Democrat from Kansas has the following : "Atchison im Platte County. On my way I overtook a gentleman on Itprseback.

Another loiter, from a special contributor, under Halo of Oct. 1 8, at Leavenworth City, thus adverts to some matters that we have seen notices of in other quarter. Col. Lane was a member of lb last Congress from Indiana, and voted for the Nebraska bill. It seems thfy will not let him prac tice law in Kansas, unless be will swear feal ty to tlmir Kansas Legislature. Great pi. ico, Kansas I Leavenworth Citv, K.T., Oct. 18. To the Editor of ihe Missouri Democrat: "National Democracy," and "Squatter Sovereignty," alas 1 what wrongs have been politically perpetrated in the name of the first, and wlint a farce and a fiction is tho second. 1 Tho laws of Missouri havo been legislatively extended over us, while their enforcement lias been confided to (J. S. Judges and Mai shuts, acting in concert and connection with other officers, appointed by the Legislature, a Legislature who have at tempted to deprive us of the freedom of speech. -Was there over such sovereignty known to a civilized world t At the last term of tho United Stntes District Court, sitting here, Judge Lecompte presiding, wo had an" array of brilliant judicial rulings and decisions, which would exalt "Master Robert Shallow, Esq.' to a seat on the wool sack in tho highest court of chancery, while they cast a cloud and n doubt forever over Blackstono and his Commentaries that no "Sun of Righteousness" ever shall" be able to dispel or disperse'. Col. Lane made np' plication to be admitted lo defend two pris oners then in jail, awaiting trial for crimes affecting their lives. , The learned J udgc do cided that he could riot be permitted to ap pear for and defend these prisoners, altho they requested it, unlrss bo would first take an oath .o support the laws of Ransns enact ed by a Missouri Legislature. Before tho empanueling of the grand jury, the counsel of McCrea challenged one of the grand jury for favor, and tho learned judge decided (under a higher law, of course, than is known in Kansa) that the challenge could not be sustained. Jtidgo Smith, of Law- euce, nfirr tho court had adjourned the grand jury over to November, a judicial stretch of power a liltlo abnvc and beyond squiu tcr sovereignty or judicial prr-eedents, learning that the grand jury liad found no bill against McCrea, came ou hero and, up on a writ ef habeas corpus, made a motion that McCrea be admitted to bail. Tho learned judge, after consulting the authori ties, said to reside across the river, decided against Judge Smiih's motion, and McCrea was remanded to prison to await the adjourn ed action of the grand jury and this honor able court. Prior to tho last term of the couit a most lawless outrage was commit ted on a member of tho bar, who was taken from his wife and home, hurried across the Missouri river, tarred and feathered, rode on a rail and sold at auction, in Weston, to a noirro, his life threatened if he would not then and there sign a paper promising to leave forever the place of his choice and residence ; and engaged in this flagrant out rage were two lawyers of Leavenworth City and the clerk of this very honorable court, and notwithstanding this violation of all law aud order, this breach of tho peace, the clerk was not removed from office, neither have the two attorneys been stricken bam the roll.

Mrs. Bradst reel is confessedly ono of the most remarkuble females of this century.

Peace Victories. The Paris correspondent of the Tribune gives the following account of tho "A merican triumphs at tho French Exhibition : ' Tlio great trial of agricultural imploments at La Trappcs was sufficiently glorious in its results to establish of itselfa high rank for American genius at the Grcnt exhibi tion. The official Journal, the Moiiileur. devotes two columns to adesciiption of the day's proceedings, and their results. The trial took placo at La Trappes, on the farm of M. Dailly, Post Master General of Franco, 30 miles from Puris. M. Dailly is a member of the Jury on Agriculture, and placed his farm, much to his own inconven ience, nt tho disposal of tho Commission for these experiments. Tho farm is a very ex tensive and very beautiful one, is almost perfectly level, over an open space of two miles square and offered superior advan tages for the trial, before a large coucourso, of tho various agricultural machinrs. The list of names of distinguished men who wcro present occupies half a column of the Moniteur ; among them aro the follow ing: Tho Minister of Agriculture, Com mcrco and Public Works, M. Drouyn de l'Huys, late Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Gen. Morin; M. Eniilo de Girardin ; M. Bixio. and others. Nine Arab chiefs of distinction, all tall, fine looking men, wero present and took much interest in the ex periments. Among the Americans, no were present in considerable number'', wero Mr, Fillmore, late President of the United States ; Mr. Corcoran, the banker, who ac companies Mr. F. in bis travels ; Mr. Toombs, Senator of Georgia ; several mem bers of Congress, and the following jurymuu and commissioners from the United States! Mr, Fleischmann. juryman on the 7th class, New ork ; Col. Coxe, juryman on the 2d class, Alabama; Mr. Valentine, commission er from Massachusetts J Mr. Gilinan, Con necticut ; Mr. Lo Vert, Alabama ; Hon. Mr. Elliott, South Carolina ; Dr. Johnson, Ohio, The train which couveyed the Prince Napoleo"n and suite arrived on the ground at half-past ten, and the experiments com menced at once. A wholo regiment of sol diers was required to maintain the lines around the fields whore the experiments The nrorrramnae embraced what is in France the entire scries of agri cultural operations. Drainage tillage, di verse preparations of ground, thrashing, sowing, weeding, reaping, mowing, ana nay' acatterinff and gathering. A large nun ber of implements were on the grouno tor the minor operations, and in these the Eng lish carried off at least two-thirds of the honors against all the rest on the ground. But the great interest ef the occasion at HI HHt.HU'TlOV Vivo Datura Year. WO. 39. tached to the reapers, mowers, and thrash ers, and in these contests the American ma chines wore so fur superior to all others that tho atrugulo was confined to themselves. '('here were in fact but four machines of any kind on the grouud manufactured in the United States, and these were the reap ers and mowers of McCormlck, Manncy, aud Wright, and the thrashing machine of Pitts, of Bufliilo. The thrashers wore tried before the mow ers and ..rcniers. Six nun were set to thrashing with finfls at die ramoiinonioiit that the different machines commenced ope rations, and the following were tho' results of half an hour's work : Six thrashers with flails 00 litres of wheat. Pitt's Am. thrasher 740 litres of wheat. Clayton's Eng. thrasher 410 litres of a bent. Dunoir'sJ-'rench thrasher 2'0litrcsof wheal. Pinet's Belgian thrasher 150 litres of whert. (30 litres inake one bushel.) In regard to Pitt's machine, the Moni teur says : , "Pill's machino ha, therefore, gained the honors of ihe day. This niachiuo liter ally devours the sheaves of wheat ; the eye cannot follow the work which is effected 'between the entrance of the sheaves and the end of the operation. It is one of the greatest results which it is possible lo ob tain. The impression which this spectacle produced upon tho Arub Chiefs was pro. fouud." The Mouiteur might have added that the effect was no less wondciful to the Prince Napoleon, who returned twice to the ma chine, aud declared that it was "frightful to look at!" as it must have been to all those who never before saw a geuuiue, fast Ameri can thrasher. The machine of Dunoir is usedr almost exclusively in Franco, but already the de mand for the Buffalo machine is so great that without doubt it will supersede all others. Tfie reaping was tho great feature of the day, and so great wore the crowd and the excitement that the soldiers found them selves unablo to maintain perfectly the lines which were formed around tho field. Thore wore seven reapers on the grouud, three American, two English aud two French, but all more or less modifications of Mo Cormick's original invention ; nnJ the field had been divided into seven equal portions, each portion containing, as well ns my un practised eye could estimate, slightly more than an acre of wheat. Ihe wheat stood heavy on the ground and was at least one fourth fallen. At tho tap of the drum the machines all started off together, McCor raick's rapidly taking the lead, a position which it maintained lo the end, performing its task iu ton minutes and a third, Man nev came out in sixteen minutes, and Wrright (the Ilussoy machino) in eighteen minutes. Tho others varied in their time from half an hour to an hour and a half but I believe an English machine, which did not work well from tho start, left the field without accomplishing its task. After the three American machines the first one out was Cournicr's (French) machine, which was drawn by one horse, and which was much admired for the'beauty and regu larity of its movements. The excitement during the contest could only be compared to an animated horse race. The Americans wero collected principally in the neighborhood of the McCormick ma chine, and nt each turn cheered on McKen zio, tho able agent who conducted It, Iu this group the fine form of Mr. Fillmore, whotind climbed on lo a shock of fallen wheat, was conspiciotis, and he was as ex cited for the success of American genius as anv man on the cround. The machino of McCormick bad never, within the knowl edge of McKenzie, cut so fast as on that oc casion. The machine was drawn by two large horses, that accomplished the whole distance at a paco, half-walk, half-trot, which would have done four miles and a half to the hour. McKenzie wus nearly exhausted when the task wns finished, and declared he could not have gone another half round. To see his long, brawny arms swinging iu unison wiih the blades of thfc machine as he raked to ono side the great nurses of falling crain, was an exciting spectacle to ull who saw it, and ono not soon to bo forgotten, At the end of the performance he wns loudly cheered. Tho Prince, tho Arabs, tho jury men, and tho Americans crowded around the modest McKenzie and complimented him warmly for the great feat which hS had just performed, and tho conductor placing French and American nags on lue macmnp, nt waa escorted from the field in the midt of a dnie crowd of admiring opli. Thus terminated a day which has added great luslre to American iiiwiitiie genius, and it is gratifying to know that theeham piotithip on the ouMMoit wan frankly ami cnrdiully mkuowldged. There were other inventions for reaping nt tho hxhibllion, and great boailiug had been made about the Vint superiority over nil others of a ro- cent French invention, but after the Auiori cnu machines were first seen In motion, oul four inventors of all ihose represented at the Exhibition were found bold enough to enter into competition, and these are now so coin pletely vanquished that their pateuta will poes no value. A decision which has jut been rnado lu favor of one of the two American pianos in he Exhibition will, no doubt, astonish the French people more than the iierformance of the midlines of which wo Lave just been I e.kinj:. Tho Frtnchvjwoplo, with their limited knowledge of the half civilized peo ple of America, pretend to compreheud how it i possiblo for them to exoel in the inven tion of such labor-saving machines as parse population and a scarcity of hand compel them to invent ; but that America should send over here a piano which could lake a premium over the throe bandred fine French piano In tho Exhibition h e problem which they cannot understand J'hey Imagined that they furnished tho Uuited States with nearly all ilja piane thoy required, and that in consequence it was ont industry, not ycl developed thore aud that the people wrro not capable of ex cellence in that branch. No award of ths juries therefore will be received with more surprise than this. I take tins occasion lo repent what I have atsted on a former oc casion, that at the end, when the juries come lo maks their awards, the United Stalee will, as at Loudon, come off with honors of hich they may Well be proud. Jf'iT Samuel Warrun, Etq., who is equal ly eminent in law and literature, states in the preface to a book which he ha recently published in England, that ho relinquished his I liii of re-editing Blackstone. He savs : '-It is not unknown to many in the legal profession that for nearly twenty year I have been laboriously engaged lu preparing an edition of tho entire Commentaries ; but so vast have been the changes effected, in creasing latterly in rapidity, number and magnitude, that I have been reluctantly .. , . ...
