Murders and affrays of tho most atrocious character are of frequent occurrence in the Slave States, at this present time. One can hard ly take up a paper from that quarter without meeting with notices of them. Nothing is more natural or reasonable than that when a man has once been taught to desplse humanity in the form of the negro, ho "ill won come tn despise it in all other forms. As tho hew itched persons of Salem first began to accuse members or tho lower classes of society of having be ultchcd them, but finally came to accuse the most pure and elevated characters, sotheinhu maivTpirit inculcated by African Slavery is now no longer confining its inhumanity to negroes, but is giving vent to its rage against the white race itself. The whites themselves, maddened with Its inebriating effects, are made tho Instru ment! of vising r...1.Hko wrath upon eaeli other. The tlare writ, like Meph.s o phelcs tho Prince of Darkness in the drinking cellar of I.eipsic, after leading its friends into a drunken, bewildeiing brawl, leaves them in the lurch to fight it out among themselv es. One of tho latest affrays that we have noticed occurred between a MrMillicanoftheone part, and n Mr Kennedy ot me ouicr, m. !......, Alabama. Mr Millicim was prompt to dray a revolver, and Mr Kennedy wa, no less prompt and manly in throwing a el.op-axe at his adversary, which scveicd the vertabra of the neck and killed him instantly. It is the character of slavery to make ti man who practices it as savage as a meat-axe, as the saving is. H renders him impatient of res train!,' nml resentful of all opposition. U hilc in the attitude of one foot upon the neck of the slave, he is quick to suspect one cf attempting to assume a similar attitude towards himself ; and like the tiger, growls defiantly even when the prey lies helpless beneath his paws. U hilc subjecting a negro to the most abject submis sion.heis not willing to submit to superior power himself. Aud hence, even the laws in slave-holding communities, unless made in fa vor of slavery, come to lose all vigor and foice. All authority", save that of man over his fellow man, of brute force over unprotected innocence, is disparaged or ignored. This is one reason why authority has become so weakened among us of late years i it being the interest of the slave-holder that there should be no authority in cxUlsnce above that of his own free and im perious will. He substitutes the violence and brutapYv.of Lvnch-law in the place ofthe whole some'lrTws of 'the land, as being more congenial to his temper and not feeling assured that just laws would give him their support. Lynch-lavv and mob-violence, w hich have been appealed to by the slave-holders as ministra tions of justice, have thus far been confined in their application, chiefly, to the lower classes of slave-holdihg communities j but it is not probable that they will stop there, any more than that the nccusations of the bewitched folks of Salem stopped there. They will reach n higher sphere yet and strike at the most emi nent. We would ask Messrs Mason, Hunter and Wise, who have so unscrupulously ailvo ,i, eWi. interest, if thev have not, in their own persons, already felt the foreshadow ingof this event? Governor Wise, himself, was rather the instrument of mob-violeiico in the execution of l'.rown and his followers, than j a minister of tho law, which he pretended to he. I All that array of soldiers that assembled around j the gallows at Charlestovvn was rather an armed mob acting of its own tree motion, man u con servative force under the controll of the govern or. He would endeavor still to lead the peo ple, or at least appear to do so j but he has taught them to despise legitioiatc authority in prolonging the evils of slavery, and now they will cither hold him to the consequences of his teachings, or else discard him entirely. Hu stands in helpless awe of that mob-violonce which the course o! his whole political life has helped to conjure up. Ex-Got ernor Wise, the advocate of slavery, is now experiencing the ef fects of slavery in his own person. He will stand, and see the militia of Charlestovvn notori ety paid for their services as if he had ordered them out of his own authority, though they camo of their own freewill, and he will silently bear the blame. Tho law that bung John Urown and his followers was after all but a species of Lynch law ; and while it stiuck down its victims, it at tho same time overawed and overruled the governor of Virginia. And in so doing, the mob but held him to the logical conse quences ot his political leadership. Kx-Goxernor Wise and his fellow advocates of the .policy of slavery have reached the end of their rope. They have become hopelessly involved in tho consequences nf their own doc trines and they will lie, in their secret hearts, as glad of the election of Abraham Lincoln as was Ilrigham Young at the arrival of tho Amer ican Army. The attention of the people of the south will bo turned from their'ancient leaders to the general government! and as they will find in that government a rcvital of tho spirit of tho laws and respect for all human rights as well as for all humanity, they will become sep arated from their old leaders forever. These leaders will bluster and threaten; but their prcstigo and their power are gone. RECEPTIONS OF THE PHINCE. Tho Reception of tho l'rineo of Wales in New York was on the whole creditable to tho good intentions of the people and their respect lor. England and themselves. As they aro un used, however, to tho parades and displays of royalty, their ball given to tho l'rineo proved to be n hurried demonstration of awkwardness and splendor. There was no btint in magnificenco but tho crowd was too great, and tho dancing floor gavo way and had to bo reparcd amidst the festivities. Many of tho ladies were all a blazo of diamonds. Tho l'rineo danced twelve times, six with married ladies and six with ladies who were soon to he married. 1 hey were as follows : Mrs. Governor Morgan, Miss Fisher, Miss Mason, Mrs, Gould Hojt tho daughter of General Scott, Miss II. Russell, Mrs. Edward Cooper, Miss Augusta Joy, Mrs. Helmont, Mrs, M. B. Field, Miss. Van llurcn, Mrs. Karnochan and Miss Duller daughter of Fanny Ivcmblc, Tho l'rineo visited tho publio institutions of the city, the Central Park, where ho planted nn I EDITORIAL COHUE3PONDEN0E.

General Scott, etc., etc. On Ms attendance, at 1CAII Sclssoits t In tho early days of Ver Trinity Church four Hishops and Ihlrty-fh o I mont Legislation it was tho custom, I am told, Clcrvnicn assisted in tho services a disnlav a , of tho Governors of tills State to inaugurate little too great for tho occasion. Taken altogether, the reception giv en to the l'rineo by New York was so warm and cor dial, that the usual display on "Evacuation Day" which follows next month, must produce some thing of a revulsion of feeling. The same troops that have turned out so redlly to welcome to our shores the heir apparent to tho crown of Great llritain, will then turn out to celebrate tho day when lliitish troops evacuated the city. The Prince left West Point on Tuesday tho Kith inst., and arrived in Albany at ! P. M. The royal parly dined with Governor Morgan, Senator Seward being an invited guest. Tho royal party left Albany for lloston on Wednesday nt !) o'clock in the morning, by nn especial train. This party consists of Lord Lyons) Duke of Newcastle Earl of St. Gcr inains) Major General, the Honorable Hubert llriicc) Major Tidale Capt. Grey; Viscount Hcnchinbrnokci Hon. Chailes Eliot) Dr. Ac land Mr. Engcllieart j Mr. II iodic and Mr. Ware. The demonstrations in lloston on tho occa sion of the arrival of the Prince consisted of a review of the military) n reception by tho school children nnd n ball. The cars which bore the Prince from Albany to lloston were splendidly fitted up for the occasion, nnd neat nnd elegant nppnrtments were piotided for bis reception at the ltcvcre House. Mr. Farnham. tho sole, surviving .oli'ier of Hunker Hill, left his lodgings at the Koverc House for home on Friday the 10th inst. THE OOVEHNOIV3 MESSAGE. The reader will perceive that Governor Fair banks' message to the Legislature this jear, is an able, dignified document, worthy of the high source from which it emanates. The recommendation which it contains to alter tho laws of the State so that a plurality of votes may elect, instead of n majority, is de serving of attention) and wo hope that the measure may become n law. We can sec no leasnn for summing up against the candidate of the highest number of votes all the totes that are cast for all other persons. In the case, for instance, of Lincoln, Douglas and Ilrcckcnridge, why mill the totes of tho two latter against Lincoln any more than add the votes of Lincoln and Douglas ngainl Ilrcckcnridge? The Doug hsitcs nre more opposed to lireckenridge than they are to Lincoln. It appears to us no more reasonable that one leg of a triangle should nl wavs be creator than the sum of the two others in order to a good surv. v, than it is to requi.e 1 one candidate to have mole votes than all the rest in older to secure his election. The plurality rule would simplify elections, and save time, trouble, imtchinatiniis and ex pense. Cllf..M' IUnoMKH:!!-. We aie glad to see that the price of the llaromcter has been so irucli reduced as to bring it within the means of ordinary fortunes. The new llaromcter manufactured by John M. Merrick & Co., of Worcester Massachusetts, is an elegant piece of fumituio as well as a valuable nnd interesting instrument, nnd should be in the possession of every farmer who feels able to purchase it, and who takes an interest in the weather. It is not scientifically accurate, but then it will do very well for ordiuarv observations. Together with the necessary tables and instructions, one may ascertain not only the coming changes of the weather, but also the altitudes nbove tho sea of the surrounding hills and mountains. The in strument is graduated to the fortieth part of an inch) but it has no vernier, or sea level. In other respects it appears to be well construct ed, with an almost perfect vacuum and good se curity against breaking by transportation. With this llaromcter, n good thermometer, a rain guage and a weather-cock, the farmer could keep a series of records upon the weather, which together with the appropriate remarks upon the fruitfulncss of the season, prevailing diseases, iVc, would be of great interest to himself and of value to the public. Wo repeat again, that this new instrument of Merrick & Co., is not scientifically accurate) but it will do for ordinary observations in the absence of a better one. Dr. Gale of this til lage can give any further information on tho subject that mat- he desired. The l'Kr.Miir.N riAi. Emxtiox. As many of tho towns of the state cast n muih smaller vote than they were able to at the last state election, we hope that they will make up fur their re missness at the comiHg election in November. Let us turn out with nil our force, and show what tho Republican stienglli of the State really is. Some of the towns did not cast even half ns many votes us they might have done nt the last election j and the tote of the state was too 6inall by at least 150(10. The coming presiden tial election is one of more thau cammon in terest. Tho opposing piireiples in the contest have become divested of all extraneous consid erations j so that the question at issue is plainly and simply one of Liberty or Slavery. This is the question to bo decided) and every vote, therefore, will tell. It is not for Lincoln that we vote, so much as it is for Liberty. Let us then nil turn out, to a man, and give to the world tho emphatic declaration of our roundest nnd fullest numbers. PintVElisiTY. The pcoplo of Mobile con template, it is said, the erection of a monument to tho memory of tho late pirate Walker. If true, it appears that the consecration of infamy is not practiced alone by the saints of Utah. A people must be very far gone in ignorance when they reckon that tho customary expressions of religious lespect for the dead can bo perverted to the ends of sanctifjing vice. A monument to Walker by Mobile, would bo a disgrace to thu city rather than an honor to the pirate. Walker was a man who repeatedly violated our neutrality laws, whilo committing murder and robbery among a people with whom we were at peace ; and he died confessing the evil of his ways. What clso could a monument by tho pcoplo of Mobile immortalize, except that Walker was a friend to the South? Tin: HuitUNGTOx Timks. This excellent paper comes to us with refreshed spirit and re newed energy j and promises to become as in teresting and instructive as any other paper of its Bize either in or out of tho Stato of Vermont. It is published daily at llurlington by Ihoi'.l.ow & Waku, its editorial management being, as formerly, under tho control ol tho witty and accomplished D. W. C. Cl..viiKH. Wo feel proud of co-operating in tho samo cause with an editor so truly able and distinguished. Tho 2Yi, under its present management, will bo a live paper, and no mistake. proceedings by nn address from tho executive. This old custom, so long in desuetude, has been revived by Gov. Fairbanks who now, as in 185!!, delivered his address in person to tho General Assembly. The two Houses assembled in tho Hafl of the House of Representatives, n com mittee consisting of the Speaker of the Houso and the Secretary of State was appointed to wait upon His Excellency and inform him that tho General Assembly were ready to hear his ad dress. Soon tho Governor elect made his ap pearance preceded by tho committee aforesaid, witli the soon to lie Ex-Gov. Hall on his right. Tho oaths of office were administered by tho President of the Joint Assembly, Lieut. Gov. Underwood, and the Governor proceeded to rend the annual Executive Address. As jour read ers will have the document before them I will not attempt either sjnopsis or criticism. 'I'ho "wheels of legislation," to tiso a by no means novel expression, now lubricated by tho message nnd tho appointment of tho standing committees, begin to roll with their accustomed freedom. Hills of all sorts, commencing with the irrepressible "dog hill" of the gentleman from Morritovvn, nnd continuing with bills for the changing of names, bills to restrict fishing, bills for the alteration of town and county lines, bills to legalise circuses, and bills which nre in tended as suic specifics for ctrtain ailments nnd good for nlmost nil other complaints inci dent to bodies politic or corporate, nre coming in with unexampled rapidity. After n severe and animated contest in which n good share of the best speaking talent of the House was enlisted, it was decided in accordance with the recommendation of the Committee on Rules, to print all bills of a public nature. It was n. wise conclusion and will iiccrveiii print many rich but not rare specimens of apprentice legis lation. Tho House is unusually rich in ability nnd experience, to such nn extent even as to em barrass the selection of Committees. The most important of these arc strongly constituted ns will be seen by the following: H'dis ami Menus Dcnison of lint niton, Wright of Custleton, Notes of ISurhngton, Moulton of St. Johnshury nnd Thomas of West Fuirlee.

At n caucus of tho Republican members of the Legislature on Monday evening the Hon. J.vcon Col.lMr.i: was unanimously and by ac clamation, nominated as candidate for United States Senator for six years from the 1th of March, next. This nomination was followed, the next day, by his almost unanimous election, he receiving L"J of the ,'10 totes cast in the Senate and 10S of the 'li'l in the House. Paul Dillingham was the unfortunate democrat who received the full support of his very lean party for the same office. The following elections were made in Joint Assembly, on Tuesday : 1!i:xjamix W. l)i:.x, of Grafton, sccretarv of Statu ) Euastus S.

It is barely possible that the votes of thesu tvflur parties may bo slightly increased in November. Since hearing fioni Pennsvlvnnia, Indianu and Ohio they will not be likely to suffer any great loss; with persistent effort they will probably hold their own. C.

Tho sixth annual l-'nlrof tho Whltlnpjiam Agricul tural Society, was held nt Whitlnglmm Center on tho loth last., and nlthough It was successful ns a whole, tlio show In somo nf its departments was less than It should linvo bccn,,jiiclt;liig from Its former Fairs and tlio evident resources of tho Society. Tho state of tlio atmosphere- on tlio morning of tho Fair was Inauspicious for a largo gathering of specta tors, nml undoubtedly Induced many to loiivo stock and oilier nrtlcles nt home, that they would othcrvvlso havo exhibited. Hut notwithstanding tho clouds nnd cold of tho inoriilug, tlicro wero a goorlly number sea sonably on tlio grounds, nml tho clouds breaking nwny, tho pcoplo continued to Hock In from all directions until a l.ito hour in tlio forenoon. Tho engaging fenturo of tho show In tlio foro part of tho day was tlio cntrnnco of teams. I'lrst camo tho team from tlio Wosi tlio Sadawga vvltli somo thirty or more pairs of very excellent cattle, many of them tlio best of their kind, drawing n largo carrlngn appropriately decorated for tho occasion. Through the thick incslics of evergreen and curtains adorning its sides, peeped Iniiinucinblo visages of happy inolh crs, and hopeful sons and daughters. Next camo tho team from tho Knst, villi a largo carriage, adorned and loaded similarly to thoouo from tho West, but drawn by I loss number of cattle, most of tlicm very lino spcciirens of tho homed species, of which tho owners might ucll bo proud. Next and lust camo tht Yniley team from the South, with n smaller carrlngo and less number of cnltlo at tached, but speaking fiivornbly for the section fiom which it came. Hodge's celebrated Comet Hand was in attendance nnd discoursed excellent music for tlicso exercises, as well as to tho admiring spectators during tho day, '1 ho grounds used for tlio exhibition of neat catlio and other stock wero tlio samo that tho society had occupied at Its former Fairs, and tho pens fur tho ex hibition of cows, cniic-s, siiecp, iVc , wcro well llllcdi and tlio posts fur hitching cntllo In tho yoke were nearly all occupied. Tlicro were on exhibition 7D pair- of cattln in tho yoke, several steers, l'J cows mid heifers, 18 calves, and '28 sheep. Thero wcro also u goodly number of swine. Tho. entries of the horse kind amounted '21; but tho number on exhibition was much larger. The show of tho indoors department w-ns held nt tho old uiccting-housr, and though less than former shows, It was prnl'OMoithy and tuostof Ihoiiiticicsou exhibition wcro very f-uKfrior. As Is always tho case nt such (daces, there wcro sonic things that nttmctod tho nttention of the f vec tiitnrs more than others. Of thwc wo would notice in partictdir a 2 jcar old bull, exhibited by T. V.. Wliecicr, weighing 1812 lbs., nnd a pair of 2 ycnrold itoers,bv I) ivhI Chn-e, very uniform nnd well matched.

'lhere were many nico pairs of catllc from 2 to h years of nge, very oioely ni-itciicd, several of which wcie sold In men from Mastachti'ctts, at price vary ing from four to five dollars per cwt.

A fancy l-ux by A. K. Green of Ural tlcUiro, a very nice thing, was much admired. We also noticed sutne very ingenious )ieciinens of Indian workmanship in tlio shiie of u bark cjnnc and bas ket, curioj.ly li.terw-oven with iuoa hair, but did not get tho raine of tho exhibitor.

Till branch i about ns large a one little finger in circumference, is ttceuty-tU inches in length, and the avenigo weight of tli-i apples is about tixvutntt; making in nil tix vu,ij w eight of apple on one small brunch.

The semi-centennial jubilee of the American hoard of mission was held in lloston last week, and the exercises were throughout of the most interesting character. Tho number in atten dance from all parts of the country, chietly clergymen, was very large, and more than two thousand were cnteitaincd at private houses, llcv John Keep of Oberlin, Ohio, one of the two surviving members of the General Associa tion of Massachusetts which inaugurated the hoard in 1810, was present, but llcv. Dr. Snell of North llrookficld, the other survivor, was kept at home by the infirmities of age. While the regular meetings of the board were held at 'Fremont Temple, simultaneous meetings wcie held each day in Park street church, to accom odate the crowds that could not gain admission to the temple, llcv. Dr. Hopkins of Williams town, president of the hoard, was in the chair nt the opening of the meetings on Tuesday afternoon. The total receipts of the hoard for the past )car were $129,701), of which $70,7118 vv as obtained specially to rcmnv e the debt. The debt has been paid, and the balance in the treasuiy at the opening of tho tear is $1100. The current expense of the last tear were $l(il,!ijt. The reports frum the different sta tions show a reasonable degree of success, and abundant openings for an extension of mission ary work. A large portion of tho annual re port is devoted to the reasons fur closing the mission to the Cherokee Indians. Any object ion to the toleration of slavery by the Indians, for which the board lias obtained so much cred it among anti-slavery Christians, is expressly disavowed, and the 'mission is closed because the Cherokees are Christianized Indians. Thev are well supplied with religious teachers of various sects, and because only about "30 of a population of 21,000 attend tlie meetings held by the three missionaries of the board. The repot t concludes witli the summing up of the labors of the board for the half century. The five laborers first sent out have been reinforced by die addition of 410; there were now in its employment 'J00 niissionaiies and near -100 teachers making together 1257. The number of church members was about 03,000, and the increase in tho last ten tears had been some liiOl) annually. Considerable discussion took place upon the question whether the board should restrict its expenditures to its income, or enlarge its opeiatious and trust to the churches to make up tho deficiency. The pay-as-you-go policy was generally preferred, and will no doubt he adhered to us nearly ns circumstances will allow. If tho board should spend accord ing to its opportunities, instead of its means, it might easily run into debt ten times the amount of its income. The discourses delivered by ltev Dr. Hopkins nnd Pi csident Poster of Ham ilton wero of a high order, and will ho printed by the board. The jubilee closed on Thursday afternoon with communion services in four of tlie Congregational churches. Tho hoard fixed upon Cleveland, Ohio, as the place for tho next annual meeting, and chose Hev. Iticliard S. Storrs of Hrookljn, N, Y., preacher of tho sermon, and Hev Henry Smith of Cincinnati, substitute. The officers of tho previous year were le-electcd, and foui teen new members w ero added to the hoard, among vv horn arc It. A. Chapman of Springlield, John A. Davenport and Dr. H. L. Cleveland of New Haven, Ct., Lucius Darker of Hartford, Ct., and William Pennington of New Jersey. Thero was nn attempt near tho close of tho meeting to introduce "tho irrepressible conflict," but it was unceritnoniously diivcn out. Hev Henry T. Cheeter mado two unsuccessful cfibrts to Intro duco resolutions ns to the slave trade, but was ruled out of order. Thero was also somo anti slavery talk whilo the Gaboon mission in Africa was under consideration. The board voted that they should require $:170,000 for the current year, and tho nudieuco present voted that they ought to hat o $100,000. Hr.AULNO in Laikii: t'litmcnp.s. This is now mado as ensy as in tho smnllcst liy the success of an experiment just completed in tho A'dnity Church, in this city. It consists of a navlio 1 ocl i ul reilcetor of sound placed at tho hack of tho pulpit, of which tlio speaker's mouth is the focus. A beam of sound about ten feet in di ameter is thus thrown to tho most remote point of tlio church, nnd hy its sidellovv fills tho whole body of the building. All p;rcal public build infjs, whether for singing or speaking, may havo n similar arrangement adapted to their use. It is particularly suitable for legislative halls, as it works both ways. A person standing at the farthest door in Trinity Church can carry on a conversation with one in tho pulpit in the lowest tones, even ill a whistler. Anv licrson well ac quainted with tlio higher matliematics, and ac customed to mnko constructions in architecture, engineering or machinery, is competent to su perintend such .m erection.
