    oneia taken at Franklin just before Lawrence
fru attacked. Capl.'Jennigen was a gentle*
man, and wae evidently surprised at the lib
erality with which he was treated; He said,
■a ho prepared to leave, “ By God, boys, is
not this carrying the thing 100 far 1” and
then he.polprooly promised that those arras
just returned, should never be used against
Free-State people. :He cursed Shannon for
a d—d old fool, and said he had left Buford,
and was down on him. He added, with ad
mirable naivette, that he was a gentleman
when he was at home. Mr. Storrs and fam
ily left their prairie home and returned to
Lawrence for safety, taking all the furniture
they could in their wagons. It was a sad
scene—that bustling, hurried departure.—
Ooce I saw Mrs. Storrs wipe the perspiration
from her husband’s brow, and say with that
inspiring tone—woman’s best gift—“ Well,
never mind, we will gel over this yet.’’—
How outrageous that such people have to be
driven Irom the homes they are thus improv
he had a beautiful new place. As Mr.
Storrs had a horse stolen by the “ Law and
Order"-men a few days before, he thought
that Capt. Jennigen’s horse should supply its
place, but the company had come Iroin the
city of Lawrence to the rescue. Had they
taken these Georgians in i he act of nimck
tag the house it would have been n differeii'
mailer, but ailho.ugh there is no quesiion bui
they were of the parly, still, they denied r,
and the people of Lawrence were determined
that no reproach or shadow of a reproach
should fall on them. That night the house
of Mr. Storrs was burned down bv the “Law
and Order” men. I hope Cupl. Jenmgen
has had no figure in that business.
Guerilla Parties. —While ihe wttrfare
waging here is beginning lo assume a more
general and systematic character, most of
what has been done, (and it is only in the
past week that any steps to resist have been
adopted by Free-Stale men), has been done
bv Guerilla parties, I can only hear of two
of these, both quite small. Qneof them be
gan the battle of Palmyra, and, in point or
lad, finished it, too, before assistance came.
Those engaged in this warfare aie chiefly
men who have been robbed of all they had
by the “ Law and Order” men, and who,
voting the Committee of Safety and its con
servatism as a humbug, have turned out lo
fight those who are rambling ovej the coun
try plundering and maltreating Free-State
men. They have been remarkably success
ful in their operations since they began, hav
ing beaten every parly they attacked, and re
covered and taken a large quantity of arms
and ammunition, and, I believe, some horses.
Six youths belonging to one of these com
panies performed a daring act a few nights
ago. There was a company of men coming
up the California road from Westport, Mo,
eighty in number, well armed, and evidently
on a war expedition to this Territory. These
youths crept into their camp, inside of their
guards, at night, and each man picked out
the best horse he could find, and saddling
them, galloped off through the lines amid
the flying bullets, firing back in turn. No
body was hurt, and they got .off with the
horse.
On another occasion, just three days ago,
some of these Guerillas learned that a Pro-
Slavery resident had a large amount of pow
dor and ammunition in his house for these
parties. They surprised the house at night,
and, without bloodshed, got several kegs of
powder and other ammunilion, and also some
arms, among which was some of the coveted
Sharp's rifles. As this business has been
going altogether against the Pro-Slavery
men, I think likely that the Territorial au
thorities will try and put a stop lo it soon.
A. “ Sharp 11 Governor. —Shannon has
•til. seen instituting his “searching" exami
nations for Sharp’s rifles, and has, since he
commenced operations, appropriated about
hall a doten. The course pursued is, Tor
him to go round with a loi of dragoons,
search Free-State houses for arms, and after
ne has gone, the Geornians, who are camped
near Lecutnnion, come up and steal the hor
ses. Thev follow close ai his heels, and It
is, on the whole, a very clever arranu-Tneti 1 ,
at the Georgians run little risk. There i
•ome small probability tliai this business will
be interfered with shortly On lasi Friday
Governor Shannon, while out nn one of these
expeditions, was so drunk that he could noi
have told n Sharp’s rifle from a blunderbuss.
I have been assured that he uciually threat
ened to have Capl. Walker’s house burned
down He gave a poor woman who appeal
ed to him a written order which would enli
tie her to protection against the Southerners,
«od «ther “ Law and Order” marauders. I
woeld have sent a copy, but it is altogether
inscrutable, no doubt owing to the Govern
or’s peculiar situation at the time it was
penned. 1 could hardly make out even the
" Wilson Shannon” at the bottom, and there
would be no use in sending you a copy
without lithograping it.
Thb Stockholders of the Ridoway
Park Ookpany, and others desirous of
seeing the land, will have an excursion about
(he first of July in order to spend the Fourth
m S,. Marys. We do not know a more
pleasant trip that any one could go upon than
an excursion to Elk county, Pennsylvania.
The scenery is beautiful and varied. The
object is as useful as agreeable, and in the
sultry month of summer, we cannot imagine
anything more refreshing or healthful. From
what we hear a large number will avail them
selves of this opportunity to buy land as well
u a pleasant journey. We do ppt yet know
the route which will be taken by the excur
sionists, but it will soon be published, and
will no doubt be the best. There are two
routes, one by the New York and Erie Rail
road to Glean upon the line, and from thence
to St. Marys by stage, or by the way of Ty
rone on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad,
sad thence by stage. The first will be con
venient to those who go from the North, the
other is also an excellent one. By arrange
ments made with the different companies the
fare and whole expense will be greatly re
duced, St. Marys is a beautiful little town,
provided with good hotels, and baa already
become, on account of its attractiveness, a
place of summer resort.

IMPROVEMENT EXTRAORDINARY,
W£ would respectfully call the attention of Mill
owners and all interested in the use of water
dower in this vicinity, to a patented Iron Water
Wheel, (called Greenlcaf’s gravity and percussion
Water Wheel,) one of which they have recently put
in a Saw Mill owned by Judge White of Wellsboro 1
and Dr. Archer of Morris township, and situated
one and a fourth miles from Babb’s Creek, on the
Stony Fork. This wheel on Saturday the 7th Inst.,
drove a single saw to saw five thousand and one
hundred feet of white pine lumber; 4100 feet of
which was one inch in thickness, 400 feel 2 inches
thick, 500 feet 1J inches thick. This Wheel used a
very small quantity of water,only discharging about
90 square inches and with about 11J feet head and
fall of water while performing the above. These
Wheels ore well adapted lo the propelling of all kinds
of Machinery driven by Water power. They are
very simple and substantial in their construction,
and will do from one third to one half more work
than any other Iron Water Wheel in operation in
this vicinity with which they are acquainted. They
offer for sale on very liberal terms tho patent right
for Counties or Stales, and also to furnish and put in
operation the Wheels in Mills in this vicinity on rea
sonable terms. For further information address A.

o*7 AAA Acresof good FARM AND COAL LAND in
jU vv Elk Co. Bcmflugcr township, Pennsylvania,
for sale, giving a Farm of 25 acres for $2OO, payable in instal
ments of $1 per week, or at the same rate monthly.
Farms of 50, 73, 100, or more acres adjoining in proportion.
Each Farm fronts upon a road thirty feet in width.
TUE SOIL U ft rich limestone loam, and especially adapted
to cultivation, os it is neither hilly nor stony, but gently roll
ing or fine table land. Around and through this property
there are already some 20,000 acres under cultivation, and its
fertility bus been established from the crops produced. Upon
this subject it U easy to bo fully satisfied. There Is a ready
cash market for produce which is much better than trade.
IT IS THE CHEAPEST, ixs land of a similar quality Is sell
ing at much higher prices adjoining, and especially such as
contain COAL.
THE COAL.—This In particular Is the Coal District, several
veins underlaying the whole property, and the attention of
miners, and those acquainted with coal lands, is specially
called to it. It lias the advantage of being the nearest to the
great loko market, with which it will bo connected by the
tiunbury ond Erie Railroad now under contract and in course
of completion from Erie to Ridgeway, with descending grade
the whole way. The soil o\ur bituminous coal is the best,
for iuslauce England uml .other countries. The price i»or
acre is trifling for the coal alone, ns it will certainly in so fa
vorable a location within a short time pay largely! This is
important os an immense coal trade will soon open. Four
coal companies have already been started to work mines in
the vicinity, and there arc now fifteen openings around St.
Mary's.
TUE TIMBER, Stockholders also redeye—‘There Is no res
ervation whatever of Timber or Coal. It is very voluablo, and
ill pay for a grweat part of the land. On account of the ox
r.^vn C r r 0 « aro flno opportunities for mills.
. Km HEALTH, the location is much recommended by Phy
sicians. The chills and fevers are unknown, also pulmonary
complaints, being protected from the north cast winds by the
Allegbanics. The water is pure and amongst the best, the
mud abounding lu fine springs. ,
FOUR RAILROADS will shortly be completed connecting
It by a direct communication with New' York, Philadelphia,
piltiburg, Erie, lluft.tlu, and all the cities on the Lakes.
They are the Siwbury and Erie, the Alleghany Valley, the
Pittsburg and Buffalo, and tho Venango. Energetic exertions
arc also being made for tho’buildinlg of the Tvrone ond Clear
field, which also pusses through this property. The effect of
tbi? upon trade, and general development, m> well as the cool
may be imagined.
The large and flourishing town of St. Mary’s is In the cen
tra of the tract, numbering soma 3.000 inhabitants. It has
Hotels, good public schools, saw ond grist nulls, stores, well
stocked and everything desired. There are *iA5 half acre lots
in the town of St. Mary’s which will be sold and the proceeds
equally divided amongst those who buy farms. Rldgway tho
county scat, where an extensive busines is done, adjoins the
tract ou the west. Tho whole district is intersected by good
turnpike, and other roods.
Tins is a rare opportunity offered to those who wish to farm
or have a good investment for the future. By making proper
Inquiries, and Considering the advantages of good soil, an
abundance of coal, heallhfulnesa of climate, Railroad facili
ties, andjts localtpn, acurrect judgment may be formed of its
By to the office directions will given to those
who wish to visit the land. A system of excursions will short
ly bo adopted.
There is an excellent -opening for various branches of me
chanical especially numerics, wheelwrights, axe
handle makers, shoemakers, carpenters, and others.
Farms can bo b ought by enclosing the Qrst instalment.
Ladies can hold shares in their oun right. Title unquestion

GENERAL DEBILITY, ILL HEALTH,
Many of the most despotic Governments have
opened their Custom Houses lb the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this medi
cine is (be beat remedy ever known for persons of
delicate health, or where the system lias been im
paired, as its invigorating properties never fail to
aflbrd relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old, should be without this
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates the
monthly courses at all periods, acting in many cases
like a charm. It is also the best and safest medi.
cine that can be given to Children of all ages, and
for any complaint; consequently no family should
be without It.

in the world for the following diseases :
Asthma, Dlurrhaa Indipnstjon,,
