(len. • Lane, iu.,teaii of ()pelting the
road from LaWrettee to Leavenworth,
as my letter of the 29th antielpatod be
would do, Went to render assistance to
the Free State men of Prairie City,
who had 'another battle with the. Rd
flaus on that same morung at day
break. k seems that when they got
tog ~ ther at Littlo San
ta Fe. they started on the Santa Fe
read, and probaldy came up into the
Territory as far as Bull Creek, wifere
they 'probably camped. There are
diflerent remota about the number of
them, and as I have heard this Border
Ruffian army variously estimated at
from 600 to 2,000, we will call it 1,000
armed toen, not includiag the North
ern Division which may be as many
mitre. 0 t arriving at Buil Creek, this
army must have been divided up into
three divi dons, for the t eas in that 500
wore at 0-awattamie, 7ti at Prairie
City, ant the balance at Bull Cieek,
on Saturday morning. Wlieu they
separated, and lot what reason they
did so, we know not.
Oa Tuesday, Aug: 26, a company
of Free Slate men under command of
Cunt. Shore, surpi ised a camp of M
011 South Middle G ree I:.
There were about 50 :lissourians, but
the attack was trul(!o 1, :- Free State
men. •The formerwere under com
mand of an editor from Ft. Scott, Mo.
They (lid not fight long ; for the rest
of 'Shore's company coming up at the
time, rather (lightened them so' that
they threw down their acme and ran ;
15-of them being first made .prisoners,
and two 'of them killed. The spoils
amounted to -three wagon loads . of
stores, and some guns.
The next day they, in company with
Capt. Brown, G.flowed up the• Missou
ians as far. down as Sugar Crleek.
.They saw that they wore being chased,
and made toward Missouri; where it
is to be Imped they will stay. The
Free State men here recovered about
seventy head of cattle gathered, it is
supposed, to sustain the Border Ruf6au
army when they could not steal j .. .tny
more, and in case they.got driven back.
This party of Free State men got
back to Osawattamie on Friday night,
the 20th of August. On the same
evening. the man who ca_Eries the mail
from Osawattamie to Westport, re
turned to Osawattamie, Etter having
been a prisoner at Santa F 6 (new) for
ten days; charged with the infamous
clime of Free Stateism. Ho reported
that the Ruffians intended to attack
0.-awattarnie very soon•; that it was
liable to be attacked at any time ; and
advtscd the people either to leave•it
Or defend it. ?'Phis was in themight,
after mo,,t people had gone towed.

The town was beautifully loCated, and
its residents have proved themselves
a brave people.
On Saturday morning about 8 o'-
clock, a number of people came into
town with the news that the Missoui
ans had come, and were within two
miles of the town. No defense had
been anticipated, and the Tree State
men were hut poorly prepared to de
fend - it. However, they determined
to do their best. It must be recollect
ed that their women amt lrildren had
been rei,,oved for a long time, at least
ever since the town had been threat.
ened with destruction. The men
numbered about 35. to 40. The Ruf
firms rt - r ust have numbered 500 to 600;
for when drawn up in line of battle,
their line reached from the timbers of
the Murc l dizirie to the timber of the
Potawatande, a distance of at least
three quarters of a mile - , at the point
where their alignment was made:
They had two pieces of cannon, and
were na,stly aimed with United. States
muskets, though many of them had
Kentucky rifles and Snarpe's rifles.
The Free State Men rallied at two or
three points, and - fired into them as
best they could. Capt. Brown was at
one point with a handful of men, eapt.
Shore at another point, and so they
ought manfully a gallantly, against
fear fill odds. At last they were driv
en further back iutc the timber, and
their ammunition gave out. _ A com
pany of about fitly Rullians advanced
into the timber, and a few Free State
men fought them till the 'others es
cap, d by means of a private ford
which the Ruffians forgot to guard.
At last they closed upon them, and
three men swam the river, ivhile a
comuauy of fifty fired updo them. Two
of the three. came out on Lie other
side : the other—a - Mr.,..Patllidge—is
supposed to be killed. Capt. Brown
is suppised to have reached the. pri
vate ford, and cr 'ssed over . If so, he
is safe ;if not, hs is killed. Five Free
State men are known to be killed, and
the loss on the other side iS supposed
to be twelve killed and twenty wound
ed. One of the Free State - men killed
wa-1 a sou of Capt.. Brown, but was
killed bi , flire the battle begun. •
'As soon as the Flee State man re
treated, the Ruffians advanced and
?i,..ched and burned the town, except
two Uses «hick were those of Pro-
Slavery men, They them want away

'such a noble achievement. Was the

'jean paper published at Cincinnati,
has transit)! red its Presidential ticket
from the first to the third page. The
reason for this chaii.ge the editor, in a
recent number, es t •laius a 5 follows :
"We have been obliged to take.the
ticket of Fremont and Dayton from .
our first page, in consequence of the
annoyances and persecutions which it
brought on our subscribers in the
southern states. Same of them have
been threatened with mob visitation,
tar and feathers, &c., unlAss they
would discohtinue taking 'that aboli
tion sheet.' Such is freedom of the
prays, as understood by the nigger
democracy ! Such is the respect en
tertained by the South for the right of
conscience! , The inhabitant of a slave
state who does not own nezroes is him
self tyranized over like a slave, and
dare not even read a newspaper that
has not passed the censorship of his
masters, the traffickers in human flesh
and Woad. Is this to serve as au ex
ample. of what awaits us whenever
slavery shall be extended over the
free West I
"Mr. Buchanan is a worthy candi
date of the party that refuses tD recog
nise the freedom of the press. He too
has never respected this fundamental
princiPle of liberty. When, some
years since,- a motion was made in the
Senate to prohibit the mails from cir
culating 'incendiary' newspapers and
other publications in the S,mth,
Mucha' An's vote was recorded in favor,
of this attempt to muzzle the press.
This was more than the g•-eat fire
eater Calhoun himself email swallow,
and he voted in . this case against ids
confederates. But Mr. Buchanan was
nt all times ready to outstrip south
ern politicians in servility and .uh
mission to the behests of slave-driv
iT3, a'sd thus voted fir a measure from
which even Calhoun recoiled. ,
„ Whoe7er, therefore, is opposed to
