Our little minature army now amounting to over 400 strong, then marched back to this place in triumph. It was with the greatest difficulty that the meu could be persuaded to let Titus alone and not hang liini, and nothing but the expectation that it would come to-day I think saved him. Our tow u now presents a peculiar appearance, all business is suspended, and in place of it we have h spitals and nurs -s to.wait on. aud prison ers to guard, and quarters to find for the new emigrants, sentinel-:, aud out guards and every thing in regular military order. This morning everything was wet, it had rained hard during the night and the new em- igrants som* of them were out during the night, and gut wet, we got them quarters a soou as we could. About noon a coach and four drove up to'tlie hotel and Shannon, (I did ! not say Gov. U. S. Mar-hal Donaldson and Mayor Sedgwick, U. S. A., got out, they said their business was to make peace. A commit tee of our best military and civil men, were ap pointee! and a conference held, after due delib eration it was agreed that the basis of the Treaty should be this : That they give up our prisoners arrested at Franklin, they drive an • jarti-.s that eomeju here from Mi--ouri back. They deliver over into the bauds of M.ij. Sedgwick subject to our order, the cannou they took at this place in May. We ou our part, ' deliver to them unharmed the prisouers we took yesterday. When the negotiations were finished the crowd were informed of the terms from the steps of the Hotel, the majority were saii.-fied. but some of the new comers wore very violent, Shannon tried to speak but it wa.- with the greats-t iffart that the croud couid be silenced long vuough to hear him, had it not j beeu for Capt.

Whether this will be carried l out in good faith yet remains to be seen.

[From tbe Philadelphia N..rUi American, of Sept. '2.] Subjoined is a letter from a settler in Kan -as. Names, of course, we suppress, but for the authenticity of the letter, and the resjiec i lability of the family of the writer, we can vouch. It was not written for publication, is the simple statement of a son to his mother. He has uo motive for exaggeration, but a strong desire to calm her fears, while at the same time he presents the causes which compel him to abandon the enterprise he had underta ken. It will be remembered that an account of the savage outrage, which he relates as per petrated by one of the border ruffians, had al ready reached us through the newspaper cor respondence. It seemed almost incredible, but this letter confirms the statement. It is uo wonder that the writer is " mad dened " by what he sees and hears aud suffers. It is with no other sensation that we, at this distance, and living in a quiet and orderly ci ty, can read the relation of these outrages. It i.- not merely for the sufferings of the sett'er in Kansas, dreadful as they are, but for the infamy of our common couutry that we feel. It is indeed " maddening" that a majority of the Senate of the I uited States could be tied by the servile and selfish bonds of party as formally to approve th"e villianous pro ceedings. That body has doue no less than explicitly sanction all the Kansas outrages. — As to the senile cant which has dribbled out of some of the sjweche- of the affirmers of the doctrine of mob law and squatter sovereignty, that is all rendered nugatory by the last act of the Senate. Ikirty is triumphant, and noth iug but the resolute and determined aellou of the North at the pending elections can save the Republic. If the sectional rule of the South U to be e.-tabhshed, all new territories, as they are successively organized, will be the scenes of bloodshed and violence, similar to the proceeding- in Kansas. The evil must be met. aud met now ; arid political partisans must be taught that their cou-titueiK.es are not mere cattle or -laves, to. be driven as the ambition or the iutere-t of their masters dictate. We are j>erfectiv aware that many of the Northern men, whose voles are found in the support of the measures of Southern aggression, will ven ture to say. if no Southern man is in hearing, that slavery, "in tin abstract." i- wrong But we are tired of such looking one way and row ing another. " slavery in the abstract," it" wrong, does no harm. We do not contend with abstractions. We do r.ut even _ > ' ] Mason an I D.xor.'s litie to choke the vijxr iu the bosom of those who hag it there. But we protest, in the name of humanity. In the name of patriotism, ogair-t sucii a spread of the ev.l as shall make this great nation, in ali its public ac'-, but the de fender of human chattels.

The letter we give below bears date Aug. 23d. For obvious reasons we omit the name of the place from which it was written : 3fir dar Mother ;—Hearing of a private op portunity of sending a letter part way to you, I embrace it to send you a few lines, to ease your mind with regard to me. I fear that you may not have received any of my letters through the post-office, as I atu pretty well convinced that all letters for the East are burned, or dis posed of in some unlawful manner. It is too outrageous conduct to IK? perpetrated in a re publican government. I have always been ve ry guarded in expressing my views upon the agitating questions amongst us, for fear of my letters being intercepted aud read, and, consequently, compromising me with the pro slavery men here, who have so far treated nie passably well ; but as I have uow an oppor tunity of sending liv private hand, I wiii -tate some truths that should be known to the North. Thi< territory is now in a perfect state of rc- I bellioM again-t all law and order. Componie of pro-slavery men are forming every day, to j invade the territory, and are uow camped about : four miles from the city ; and every night they come into town, and steal for press) all t!. • h'rs< - belonging to tfm /ree State men. They pretend that their object is to go to Lawrence to fight Lane's men, who they say are there 2000 strong. If this is true, they will get the bt -t whipping they ever hnd and I think they are afraid of it. for they have been a week or more getting four miles from the city, it" things do n<>t take a turn r,txi week, i will leave my claim ai.d the territory : for I aiu not going to ri-k ray !if. for the best claim in the country. iUe men of the North are aj-er fe<£ set of dough-faces, and I believe will let all their brethren iu Kan.-as be murdered. On Monday evening last one of the nidkh wa in town, and got drank, aud, bt-f'-re leaving town, bet some fellow a pair of boots he would bring in a free -oil scalp, w hen he came back from camp. Whiist goiug out, about two iai.es fr>Ka t. vu, lie met a taan. a perfect stranger, from Illinois, in a boggy, unarmed. II- .-rotv ped him. ar,d shot him through the head, k ing him instantly, and, In litin like, seabed him aud left him. The fellow that perj-etra ted this L.ed i= still in the camp, and nothing will be 'I .tie with Lint for it. Now this is a true. u;:varaished tale. T: -y sny now that they are going to Law rence, and w ueu tihtV coiue back they are g<> ing to c!*.ar all the territory of all free State men. Ti. ir -.bj.-ct is to ge* all free State men out of the territory before tbe election, so tbey ran carry everything their own way. It is oalnigcous, but the North deserves it for its -upiuciic-s. I tiduk If Northern men coald see Kausi- as i: is, they w • ' 1 arouse from their lethargy, aud in ik- all! stroke, and one wo dd !>e enough to finish the work. But the difficulty is. that pe- pie wiii not beiicve what they Lear from Kansas : taey wiu know the troth when it is perhaps too late. Tf I : are. I will go to St. Louis, where I w iii write yon. I can make nothing here uow aud Ise no use of stayine. I have 3 -bar. iu seventy tons of hay, which I wdi try and d -pose of at any price, if I cau ; but It is ly to take them.

Failing to find any assailable point iu Col Fremont's political career and principles, his enemies were driven to the fabrication of cal umnies against his personal character, in wliich they have displayed a lamentable facility.- 1 They have asserted that he was a Jesuit, a gambler. a sot. a thief, a swindler, a foreigner, •a bnllv, a mutineer, and we know not ahut else, and fai'iuiT K> produce any sensible effeot U|IOII tiie popui.tr mind by any of these stories, tii-v liavc been looking into his transactions with the government to see if nothing can ie ! found there in conflict with some of the rules j of the Auditing Department of the Treasury, |of which something can i*c made.

Fremont's proposals were lower than any others received, and were accepted. He ; could afford to offer letter term- than any of i his competitors, because he had greater pow er- of endurance than mo-t men ; he had more i experience in fighting or managing Indians, through whose territory, foradi-tanceofsouie j' three hundred miies, the animals had to be j driven, and h* was withal much more ready to expos • his life to the penis of se .-h an enter ; pri-e than any one ei-e in that regiou.
