and the people ml icd in force. The numbers pres,

The display in the Fair was not so good as it
Was lar-t year, yet it was very.good. The ladies*
department lucked greatly, tut it will doubtless be
remedied next ycur. We noticed several articles of
utility belter represented than lust year, among them
several piece* of liOMic-madecorpetiog of good qual

products seemed to us better than list year. The
butter challenged especial admiration.

There were a few specimens of Cabinet ware on

Mr. G. W, Childs, of Liiicrty, has shown us a
model of a Root and Vegetable Cutter, for which fie
obtained letters patent, bearing date October 7th,
1856. We have examined it with attention and
should judge it to lie one of the most important la
bor.saiing machines of the time. It is adapted to
culling ell kinds of vegetables, from cabbage down
to pumkins ; and may therefore be advantageously
used for kraut os well us lor feed cutting. Our de
scription uf tlie machine would be as follows:
A square box divided into four compartments or
Impjicrs, having adjustable slides tor regulating the
feed. Tlie bottom nf this box is a dise Into which
are set four cullers at right angles with the oris
Underneath the disc, and at its sluices, nr outlets,
a number of cullers are placed transversely, Tlie
disc Is attached to an upright shaft, and made to
revolve by a crank geared at tlie top. Tlie cullers
on the upper side slice tlie vegetables and the rota
ry motion forces the sliced muss down through the
sluices, where it is met by the cross knives and re
duced tn mince meal in short meter.
It is truly a credit to the ingenuity nf the invent,
or,and will, we fuel confident, bring him a hand,
some reward. Mr. t’.liilds may be addressed at —

Esq., or this place from his
Otis Potter, who has been in Lawrence du
ring all the stormy times that have hovered
ground that illfaled city.,-, Hols* man-of
high moral character arid his hatfathre cab
be relied on as being a plain unvarnished ac
count of the matter. You are at liberty to
print the enclosed or to refer it, as you ace fit.
■ Truly Yours,
Jerome B. Niles.
La whence K. T, Scp’f. 18,1856,
Dear Brother : Your kind favor of the
20ih, uli, was duly received on the Ist, insl.
I have delayed answering until this lime in
order to give you the latest intelligence res
pecting the invasion or the Border Ruffians
who threatened to invade us again when 1
received your (oner.
You no doubt have read all the news rrom
■he papers, up to the lime or faking or Titus’s
house (or rather fort). Previous to that, bow.
ever, this Col, Titus had issued his orders (or
the mustering or the Soul born Division or the
Kansas Malilia, (which means np doubtrall
or the B irder Ruffians or Missouri) at Spiceri
P. O.; Wheatland, (which is directly opposite
mv claim) and there to take measures for the
subjugation of all live Free Stale settlers in the
Territory. D. R. Atchison borrowed upon his
own responsibility 840,000, to carry this
war of extermination into effect. Thisislha
report. In order to raise the steam he got up
a flaring hand bill, stating that the Abolition
ests had alreadv burnt several Pro-Slavery
mens houses, killed men women and children;
that they had taken and burnt Lecomp'on and
Franklin, had an encounter with the U. 8.
troops, and came off victorious. Had rescued
Gov. Robinson and nl! of the other prisoners,
which of course was all a base falshood,
palmed off upon the inhabitants of Missouri
m order,lo tuiso a sufficient force to. come la
this Territory to do these very acts upon the
Free Stale settlers, which the sequel will
plainly show. Their first descent was upon
Ossawaltamie, which they destroyed, after
rifling every house of the Free State party.
Next they pillaged and burnt several houses
at Leavenworth city, butchered several of the
inhabitants in the mosidmual manner. Aly
youngest son,’(George) was tn a drug store
at that place. lam informed that ho escaped
with his effects to St. Louts ; his brother Ezra
i< there, and will see to him no douht. The
Free State party rallied, and was determined
to drive those- blood thirsty wretches from the
Territory. Col. Lane arrived with some 400
men, via. of (own city and Nebraska. Old
Brown (as he is called) with 30 men encoun
tern about 300, Ruffi ins near Oss iwntiainie.
killed 30, and wounded about 30, with tits
loss of’4 killed, and some slightly wounded,
they fought until their ammunition was ex
hausted and then look to the woods. He said
if he had had plenty of ammum ion and 20
men more, he could have taken them all pru.
oners. This is the hardest battle that has
bean fought. Our men h'jve taken Tecum
aeh, Eiston, and the same as taken Lecolrip
ton. We had them to tight quarters and
were about to make a descent upon the town,
when about 800 U. S. troops came down sna
prevented us. Col. Cook of the (J. S. forces
rode up to “Colonel Wulkor nnd told him to
withdraw Colonel Walker, said; we must
have our righ's.” Col. C-tok asked him what
rights ha wanted. He (Walker) replied we
wool those prisoners that were in Lecompton.
Col. Cook said, if he would use mudetation,
he would give his word and honor to deliver
up ...I the prisoners, and he might have it all
his own way if he would only return with hi«
army. Walker said that was all he wanted;
accordingly, they delivered up the pannoo
and took g line of march for Lawrence. A
'few days before this, however the .(pluses of
Colonel Walker., Judge - Wakefield, Mr.
Ktetb and Rev. W. Lewis, were burnt by the
.Ruffians. Mr. Hancock had a hern burnt.
He told me that they took from.tue.bo-tom of
hi* wife n breast pin, nnd what money she
had. Mr. Hancock is from Pittsburg Pa., also
his Brother-in-law Mr. Jones, who had to
.flea to the 17. S. camp to save hi? life, .Mr.
Jewel told me Ih)ey stole everything of value
from liis house, even about 100 fin-Shanghai
nnd Chittagong h ms; the chickens they didn't
wan', so (hey wreog off their, heads and left
them upon the ground.
Sunday, fhe I4th, iqst, in the a/lernooo,-!
was in my shanty writing a letter to J. P.
Smith (your brother Stephen’s son-in-law),
when several men rode past in great haste.
Presently (saw men coming,.!, hailed them,
nnd asked (ha cause of such haste,, They told
me itint the Ruffians bad entered franklin
nnd fired several bouses of Free, Stipe nv-n,
if I would look in ihnl direction I could see
the smoke, this I accordingly did. , A part of
'he Ruffians were then en route for L t wrence.
They were going lO H el
Gov. Geary to interpose with the troops and
stve the town ; lo this he agreed. Presently
a lady came riding up and warned'me to 50
down nnd help defend the town. I immefli
u'ely complied with her request,after supply
ing, myself with one of Colt’s revolvers; before
I arttved at Lawrence 1 could hear tne skir
mishers popping away at each other. Our
boys killed two or iftrqe of-the Ruffians widt
Sharp’s Rifles sof a mile distance. An offi
cer and one more of the enemy, rode up u>
one of our men (who Jives about two, mu'e*
from town) «nd demanded his pistol. He said
he should not deliver it.up. At that reply,
he shot at him. The ball knocked off hi*
hat, whereupon the Free Stale man drew hu
revolver and shot the officer through the heat),
killing him instantly. lie then fired at tin
oilier who turned his holsq and fled; In
caught the dead man’s horse, and a beautiful
horso he is, 1 will assure yoo-r-woiih perhap*
8200 ; saddle $3O ; pistols‘B3o, more. It "
said by his company that he had 83000, ■»
monev, for the support of the amy. If w
Mr. McGee made a.good. haul.
The troops arrived about 10 o'clock, about
300 in number. One company of flying «'•
tillery with four pieces of cannon. About
II o’clock I laid down on the soft aside of l
board and went to sleep. Neat morning ll
about 9 o’clock, report came that the enrp>J
■Vtre. enrrpyif for! The phtil**
bell tolled, which w«9 e signal ft grins i i ff!
