FROM KANSAS.
Tlie Arms' «f occupation.
Corrsi'ponilmuV of the N. V-TEibuac.
Lswkewcb, K. T., July 22, 1857.
Active .military operations have not yet
commenced. A military aUaoheof the Gov
ernor said yesterday; that he was afraid there
would be a brush yet. - The ins»ntly : of any
such position raust'bd apparent. The people,
who have been wronged as a people have
never before been wronged, are determined
10 be true to their constitutional rights and
freedom; but, in view of the responsible issues
that they have to bear, they will be prudent
while they,are firm.
A threatening-army is here, under an in
furiated Governor* who, with the keep vision
of a vultute. is-huntihgfof a cause of quarrel.
All he wants is sufficient pretext for a system
ofarresting and violence of the most despotic
kind. Two weeks ago, at Pabli, a band of
ruffians, mostly from Missouri, drew their
revolvers end prevented free’ speech. Then
the Governor seemed to approve of the vio
lence.-. No troops were sent to keep the
peace, or to secure the half-smothered free
men the right to be heard. Lately, at Leav
enworth, a' Pro-Slavery mob undertook to
lynch Mr.. Haller. - In that case the ‘citizens
had to arm themselves' to preserve his life.
Hundreds of troops Were at the Fort three
miles off, but they were not available then.
There is but one thing tlie troops have ever
done—that is, sustaining or trying to sustain
bogus law. This appears to be the highest
mission of the Federal army. Let not Mr.
Buchanan escape the full responsibility. The
United States army is crowded upon Kansas,
and n Government not of’ the people, which
has outraged the people, and is repudiated by
them, is sustained by Federal bayonets and
sabers.
Why not leave the regular action of the
law to meet any breach of ill ' Why, at
least, send an army before there is an over
act committed ? Does Mr. Buchanan or his
satrap think that they can crush' the inde
pendent spirit of the men of Kansas ? That
they can operate on their minds, so as to
induce them to respect boghs law V Thai
they will gel them voluntarily to adopt it 1
The people will never respect the usurpation.
All such warlike demonstrations only deepen
their haired to it. Does Buchanan want to
make capital for freedom? He is making it.
Every act of military despotism is a trumpet
note for ; freedom.
When Gov; Walker brought the troops
here, I thought he bad no intention that a gun
should be fired. 1 knew this was, bis only
safe policy, and I supposed he was aware of
it. 1 fear his delerminatibn has been neither
so prudent nor huma’ne. I now believe He
wanted mailers in such a shape that a'few of
the boldest and bravest would-be placed in a
position where they would be driven to defend
themselves or their friends, and that he could
then cut them in pieces, and'inslUme a reign
of terror over their lifeless bodies ; that the
bogus statutes, bogus Convention and all
would be swallowed in the trembling angoish
of fear and grief. What asuicidal and insane
idea ! The first volley would dispel the re
spect due to Federal authority. The bom
bardment of Lawrence would see 20,000
men under arms, with a solemn oath never to
sheath thrir t \ilTlliTWt~~l‘*T*‘T~ J '
nflr’bclieved it. He, in a vindicative spirit,
wants “to make examples.” The first tnat
lv r’s blood shed by Federal' officials in, high
place, or by the army, will have a Tearful
retribution. Only-think of the execution Of
some prominent, freedom-loving Kansas man
by VValker under under the rebellion act.
His blood would bring its price. The tears
and agony of the freedom-loving and the good
would attest its' fearful worth ; but it would
take the Union to pay for it, orthe freedom
of every slave on American soil.
The day when a hireling soldiery shall
force usurpation and fraud upon the people,
has not yet dawned on our republic. The
men of Kansas will not permit so fatal a pre
cedent to be inaugurated here. Gov, Walker
sometimes thinks of demanding the city
charter, with a promise from the citizens that
they will not frame another. Then he thinks
of bringing an army in to collect the taxes,
or to carry off the properly of those who
refuse 16 pay. Yet again be threatens to
crush the organization provided for by the
late Convention; for the protection of the
ballot-boxes. It is even rumored that he will
not permit the August election, when the To
peka Constitution is to be submitted to the
people, to be held. In any case, the design
of all this military "display and disturbance
at this time, is to prevent and terrify the
people from voting for the Topeka Constitu
tion. To what meanness will hard-run poli
ticians not resort! What implacable, unre
lenting enmity to freedom !
The weather ,is extremely hot. Several
dragoons have died in consequence of the
heat. Topeka, Osawalamie, Quindaro, Prai
rie City, and many other towns are proceed
ing to organize city governments. The
proclamation ol Gov. Walker set them at it.
A number of townships are preparin'' to
adopt township organizations. From many'
sources entitled to attention, we learn, that
Missouri contemplates and is preparin'* tp
cprry the October election. Unless Gov.
Walker should prevent it. there will bo or
ganization of fifteen or twenty thousand men
to protect the ballot-boxes.
The recent Stale census returns are nol all
in yet. Some 'localities -were not taken,
owing to the shortness pf the lime given ■
Enough is taken to show two or three times
the population of the bogus census and all
of the Territory, Leavenwonh City has a
population of between 4,000 and 5,000, Law
rence, 2,600 ; Quind.aro, only a few months
old. 550, and other towns ip the same pro
portion. r
The Great Ohio Defalcation.—'The
sum of money stolen from ihe State Trea
sury of Ohio by John G. Breslin, late Demo,
craiic Treasurer, amounts to nearly one
million of dollars I A first, rumor reported
it at a quarter, and now, when the whole
truth ts known it appears that this Democratic
office holder bag actually purloined of the

Fic Nio. —Last Saturday we again had Ihe pleas,
ure of being present at a pleasant pic-tric- patty in
Delmar, near Mr. E. M’-Carler’s. It was a fine
gathering of the youth, middle-aged and gray-haired
of (he. neighborhood, with & liberal seasoning' of
healthy, handsome, rosy-cheeked women. We had
the pleasure of addressing the party . briefly, upon
social' topics, after which the edibley received due
attention. ’ The table was tastily arranged, the edi
hies were nice and in abundance. And aside from
a drenching shower, all passed off pleasantly.
Dr. Webb entertained the c.ompany with a pleas
ant after-dinner speech, recalling the reminiscences
ofJjy-gonß school days, and earnestly urging the
performance of those social duties by which atone,
the young catrhope to enter upon tire true estate of
men and women. Several others were called- upon,
hot declined taking the stand. The company broke
up in high good humor. ■
Mr. Stebsiks’ Lxctoees,— -We bad the pleasure
of hearing the lectures by this gentleman, as ad.
verlised in our last week’s paper. The audiences
were small, owing ta the busy nature of the season
—the farmers being up to their ears in haying and
harvesting j but the truths spoken by Mr- Stebbins
were jnst as acceptable as though the aadience had
been larger.
Mr. S., is-a man of education and culture; a man
of ideas, rather than of oratorical display. His Ice.
turcs exhibit a fair and harmonious union of the
head and heart—a very desirable union indeed in a
public leacher,.and not more desirable than infre.
queol among the majority of public teachers to-day.
tvAllHMley may nol always coincide with him in
opinion, they will respect him as an earnest, bonest
man.

His discourse opon the evils of Sectarian Bigotry
was-a-great iusson of Charity and Christian forbear
ance-able, dignified and candid. In.all his lectures
he dealt largely in logic and very little in dicta.
A Grave Joke on a Grave Subject. —On Monday
the good people of our usually quiet, bum-dram vil
lage, paused to count the measured strobes of the
-solemn-tolllng bell.' People 'listened and surmised
until the bell ceased at 35, announcing the deport
are oi some person in the prime of life. At lastSt
came to be known that one F., of Dclmar.had sud
denly departed this tile. Persons were not lacking
who had possessed themselves of alllhscircamstuu
ces attend ing his sudden demise, what physician
was in attendance, &c. “He had been complain
ing for a year,” said one. He w»s at wprk in.tho
hay.field, and getting overheated, drank afiarge
quantity of cold water and died.immediately," said
another. And so it went from lip to lip, until the
fact of F’s., demise was patent all over town.
Before noon, a,neighbor of the supposed dead man
was seen to enter town, and, as may be supposed,
he was be sieged by anxious inquirers about F. He
assured them that F-, was still an inhabitant of this
atnful world and a dweller in Delmar—Madam Bu
rner and the Court House bell to the contrary, not
withstanding.
The hoax came in this wise: F., camtl to Wells,
boro’ some week or two since, and was rather worst,
ed in a rifle match with a well known sportsman in
town. F., declared he wouldn’t give it op so, but
would bo on band the following Monday to try our
town friend another bout. The latter gently insinu.
ated that F., would nol appear ; whereupon F., de.
dared that if he failed to appear at a given hoar on
Monday his antagonist might know that he was
dead. Monday o a me, the hour passed and F-, did
not appear. His town friend,- chancing to meet (he
bell-ringer, very charitably req nested that individual
to toll the bell ibr his deceased sporting friend, F.,
which performance was gone through with the or
dinary formality. The denouement set the town in
a roar, notwithstanding the gravity of tile subject.
Those who bad possessed themselves of the cir.
cumstances attending F's., demise, can now have a
good time in drawing a line between Fact and In
ferencc. VVo trnst, however, that the hoax will not
■ho repealed; as it is one of those ambignons jokes
which do not well bear repetition.
Oar detectable friend of the Honesdale Herald
is neither so stupid nor mo dull of- comprehension, by
at least one-ball, as be would like people to suppose.
He understands very well wh.ti, -meant by, “ whis
key and stealings,” as alluded to in ihd same breath
with Wm, F. Packer. We do not attack the priT .
ate character of that gentleman, first, because it is
not opr choice to slander men in one issue of this
paper and take it all back by Dating our words in
Ihe nest issue when called upon to acknowledge the
lie, or pay damages. That is friend BoardsleeV
way of doing business. In the neat place,- we find
Mr. Packet’s public life sufficiently obnoiious to
ruin him in the public esteem, without descending
to wallow in the filth generated by common slander,
ets, in their malotolmil attempts to degrade every
respectable man to their own -obscure level. Wc'
insinuate nothing against Mr; Payker as a private
man, nor shall we permit any one to attack him i Q

No doubt our Vfayne friend believes Mr. Wilmot
to be a moral and social monster. Men invariably
judge the outsicle ,ivCrld by the little world in which
they live. Those who den among thieves seldom
rale the world beyond above their immediate sur
roundings.' Thus, Beardslee, having mated with
the most corruptly-dishonest set of politicians in the
universe, cannot conceive that any' political charac
ter can be honest. We do not censure him for Ibis
—he acts up to bis highest ■ appreciation of human
ebnvafcter, And U therefore excusable.
We did not say lhal\Mr. Wilmot wodld not dU'
cuss Stale politics in but only that
he would not consent to seal his lips upon the roost
important of all* living questions—Slavery. The
fact that Mr. Packer wishes to avoid the discussion
of this questiop*shows that be has neither confi
dence in the--pro-siavery platform upon which he
stands, nor faith in the intelligence of the masses;
or llehoWs-that.he dates not stand up with Judge
Wilmot before the people. Wc are able to lay be
fore our friend the challenge of oof candidate, by
which it may be seen-that he leaves no avenue of
escape,open for his opponent, except to back square
out liken coward, or to accept like an honorable
man. Will Ihe.HeraWinan be good enough lo pub
lish the following letter and tell hie readers why
some three weeks have passed with no response
from that chivalrous individual, Gen. Packer ?
Towanda, July 14,1657.
Hon. Wm. F. Packer :
Dear Sir —l purpose to spend some time* during
the summer and fall, in canvassing before the peo
ple of the State, the principles'and issues involved
in lhc pending State election.
Parly TOq-elingfi bring out only that portion .of Ihe
people to Whom the call is made, and the addresses
*re necessarily all orx one side; whereas, it is desir
able that the whole‘people, so for as may be, should
hove both aides fairly presented before them av
same lime:
- If it should meet your views, I propose that - .wo
canvass so much of the Stale as is practicable, in
company, addressing alternately the same meetings.
Should this meet your assent, please so inform me
&t your earliest convenience, so that. we may ar
range the times, and places of meeting, order of
speaking, Ac., Ac. Very respectfully your obedi
ent servant, F- WILMOT,
Republicans have great cause lo congratulate
themselves upon having selected a standard-bearer
who does not wait an unreasonably long time for (he
enemy lo offer bailie. One would naturally suppose
that & party which came out of the last campaign
with such a great flourish of trumpets as did the
the Buccaneers, would hasten to offer battle; espc- (
’dally since Mr. Packer himself boasted his inlen-
wm have to etififen ap the backbone of the Mulatto.
Democratic candidate a little. Send him down to
Sonlli Carolina and let biro act aa overseer of the
chattels,of the lamented Brooks. . Get hie blood up,
good friends, or be will freerx to death with the cold
chills of cowardice. There is no time to Jose.
Wake up! ye lagging Mulatloes! the Union is in
danger! that most audacious of Black Republican
Nigger Worshipping Freedom Shriekers, Wiomot,
has presumed to invite your General to a candid dis
enssion of the great q oeslions of the day ! Unpar.
donafale audacity 1
But the fan of the thing is, that Packer submit*
ted the challenge to the Mulatto Slate Committee,
the Chairman of which directed him not to accept
it, because w Wilmol is a dangerous man E
xactly so. He will prove a very dangerous man to
Gen. Packer, see if he doesn’t.

A Schael-Teachef Cut to Pieces
in Texas. . . , ,
CortePpondeacc of ThoCUlcago Daily Pross.
Gueenviile, Texas, July 6, 1857.
A terrible affair took place about eight
miles easi'of this place on ihe 3d insi., be
tween a school-teacher by the name of Moore
arid a man by the name of. Jesse Howard
and his four sons. Moore undertook 10 chas
tise Howard’s son, about twelve years old;
for writing indecent language in a yonng
lady’s copy-book. He had struck, (he boy
but four or five blows with, a switch when
the boy’s brothers came into the school-house
with clubs, and onfe of them struck the
teacher with a heavy dob on the forehead
and felled him to the floor. The other struck
the teacher several times while down, but tho
teacher recovered, himself and gol out his
pocket-knife and drove them out Of the house.
But at this juncture the old man, two other
sons and two sons-in-law arrived, and the old
man sushed into the house with a large'dirk
pocket-knife. Moore begged Howard.lospare
his life, telling' him be was then nearly dead.
At this time Moore bad a severe contusion on
the forehead and was covered with blood.
But Howard, 1 disregarding-Jjis entreaties,
rushed upon him and plunged his long knife
into him twice upon his right side, both of
which wounds entered the cavity. Moore,
broke from him, when- Howard cut him on
the right shoulder, making a frightful gash
four inches long and Jo the hone. With all
his wounds, Moore broke from the house and
ran twenty rods. The boys outside threw
clubs at him as he ran, one or two of which
bit him.
Moore was a young man of slight maltej
and in poor health, who had lately come to
this State.' .He was a man of unexceptiona
ble character, and a srtcceifsfur teacher. He
wilt.probably. dio of his wounds, a victim of
revenge so low-and despicable that humanity
blushes at the recital. The antecedents of
Howard and his family are in keeping with
this act, having been, frequently engaged in (
brutal assaults upon their neighbors; and the
family are reported to be guilty of every
mean act. Moore bad bad a difljculty with
the same child: before, and had requested
Howard to take him out of school. The old
woman replied she meant to send the boy to
devil him, and (hat if Moore whipped the boy
she would make Howard Cut hip d—d heart
out. It is generally supposed (hat the hoy
was urged to provoke Moore to chastise him,
and no doubt they expected it that morning,
■ ifn« ibnu .all, amred-at,the, .vdmnl-bf— '
the bnv. and the two olds'
i°y, and the Iwo oldest brothers were
secreted close to the house, for they got to
the door before Moore had struck the boy
six blows. The Howards lived a half a mile
from the school.house. Such are some of
the tacts of this horrible afluir, as appears
from the evidence on examination.
• The old man’s bail bond was fixed at
$4,000 ; the oldest sons at $2,000, and the
other three sons at $230 each. But they
have noTyet, and probably cannot give bail.
The public- feeling is against them, which
induces roe to hope that they will gel their
deserts.

s, -Fe iehdl.Cobb- : I must write you a few
lines in regard to the doings here at the pres
’eht time. Tfitfrels’great excitement all over
the" Territory in regard la Gov. Walker’s
marching The U. S. dragoons against the
city of Lawrence. He arrived there on Pri
clay last, End, has since been standing out
sweltering under the hoi sun. The Governor
knows hot what to do, and would give his
life to get dpt of the scrape he. is pow placed
in. I heard last night he intended lo enforce
The Territorial laws and collect taxes from
the Lawrence.people. This he will hot do,
for the reason , that the Free State men will
hoi pay them.
A mealing was, held in this place, on Tues
day night last, apd' addressed by Gar. Rob
inson, Prof. Daniel?, of Wisconsin, and seve
ral othef speaker?, upholding the doings of
the people of Lawrence and condemning Gov.
Walker.
The citizens of Topeka having heard of
the-iratlojous proceedings of the Governor
at Lawrence, mel, and resolved, at I once to
form a municipal government. Wyandott
city & OsaWattomie are also forming. Wnen
Gov. Walker marches the U. 3. troops
against Lawrence.for removing dead horses
and dbgs, bridging a few streams; grading
the fow D aod sprirrkling the streets. jt is lime
the people were opening their eyes. ■,
The Border Ruffians are ail much pleased
with Walker’s proclamation, and 4ay,they
will go over and help him enforce it, and
drive every d—d, abolitionist (for ’thht is whal
every Free State man is called here) out of
the Territory. . ( ;
When Gov. Walker came to Kansas, he
, made a speech favorable" to the people of this
place, then went to Leavenworth and made
a speech which, suited them, then went lo
Lawrence and made a speech for them; prom
ising that everything should be fair,!&c., then
goes lo Lecompton, the strongest-Border Ruf
fian lowh in the Territory, and makes a speech
suitable to them. He was present at the Free
Slate Legislature at Topeka, in i June, and

to take' the Pacific Railroad lo Jefferson City,
thence take the “Lightning Line’’ Steamers,
• which carry the U. S. mail and Express, and
leave shortly after the arrival of! the cars in
the evening. The fare- is just the same by
ibis route, and you will have-a; much more
pleasant trip, besides arriving lin Kansas
about two days sooner than by taking Ihe
steamboat-at St. To ail who wish to
go to the interior of the Territory, there is
no belter place to disembark than at Qtrinda

a good road to Lawrence, with; a daily line
of-hacks running over it. The distance is

Charles Sumner in London.—Bayard
Taylor in a recent letter from London, re
lates the following anecdote of Hon.Charlet
Sumner: ...
“Mr. Sumner is here, at Maurigy's Hotel,
iii Regent direct. 1 have not yet- seen him,
but some friends tell me he' is' lacking ex
tremely well,, No American Jjai ever been
more popular in England than Sumner, and
he is at present floating on the top wave of
London society. 1 heard the other day a
good story of his arrival here. He entered
his name, upon the booh as simply “Chas.
Sumner, Boston," and was accordingly set
down by the host and his flunkies as an ordi
nary traveler. The next morning one of the
latter came to Mr. Sumner's room in some
excitement and said, “Lord Brougham is
down stairs, sir, asking for you.’ 1 To tba
waller’s amazement, Mr. S. quietly said,
without exhibitipj iba least surprise, “Very
well, show him up,-’ Not long afterwards,
the former came," still more excited': “Sir,
the Lord Chief Justice has called, and he
asks for you 1” “Show Wm up> >> was aga ; n
the cool reply. After his Lordship had de
parted the waiter came once more, bewilder
ed and a little aggravated: Sir, Sir, ihe
Lord Chancillor of England has called to
see you I" “Shoe' him up,”- repealed Mr.
S. These astonishing facts were no doubt
at once communicated to the landlord, for the
next day’s Morning Post announced the arri
val of “His Excellency'ihe~Honr-Mf^_Sum
ner," at Maurrgy’s Hotel.’’
Fbeak of the Bees.—A somewhat singu
lar freak was discovered in ihe residence of
Mrs. Gea Wingate, in Portland, Maine. The
Argus thus describes it :
“The inmates of (he mansion were sur
prised to find a large number of bees flying
about in two of ihe upper rooms. As the
little fellows continued to occupy the places,
a bee Naturalist was sent to investigate the
matter. On entering one of the rooms, he
exclaimed, “you • have honey somewhere,”
and proceeded to search for it. On removing
the fire-board, he discovered that one Sue of
the chimney was full of honey comb, which
was hanging down into the fire place and the
honey was dropping from it; proceeding to
the top of the house to sound Ihe chimney,
he (bund it the same ; one flue of the chim
ney was full and the bees were industtioaslya
at work there also.. These flues of the chim
ney had neVer-been used; they were plaster
ed smoo.ib inside, arid'Wre perfectly dark, a
stone having been placed on the top of each
flue. The bees had descended the adjoining
fines and found small holes about lea inches
from ihe top of ihe chimney, leadingioio the
closed flues, and through-these holes they had
made their way in and oat. They have, as
is supposed, occupied these places for three
years, having been kept warm in the winter
by the adjoining .flues. On removing ihe fire
board, the bees, seeking the great light which
had broken in Upon them, descended to the
room end gaihe jed on the windows until they
were covered to the thickness of three inches.
It is estimated that there are in the two flues
from 40,000 to 50,000 bees and from two to
three thousand pounds of honey !

had with Mr. Buchanan on U<ah. 010 Back
is a good deal riled with Brigham Young,
who, with his one hundred wives, have crea
ted a rebellion—when the old Buck hasn't
one that he can call his own. IT one woman
created a rebellion in the Garden of Eden
when she-had a man and ought to bin satis
fied, it isn’t wonderful that one hundred
should do the like in Utah, having only one
man among 'em all! Says 1, Bucky, did
you ever see union and harmony where there
was a hundred wimen and but one man—it’s
agin all nater to expect it—and the only way
to bring matters to a good sartin point, is to
see each woman has her man. Yes, but said
old Buck, then every man would be obieeg’d
to bey his woman. Yes, sartin, sez [. Well
then, sez, he, they’d blame me for the hull of
'his trouble and say I sot ’em a bad example.
That’s so, sez I, and since you drur so many
wimen to lake up with one man bekase you
refused 16 lake up your sheer, it’s your duly
to make ’em live peaceable as they are, or
else break the hull thing up-by reforming and •
setting every old bacbelora good example by
takin’ one of these deluded wimen for yout

The fast—Montrose Republican says—
“• Hon. G. A. Grow reached his home in Glen
wood from the West on Saturday last, hav
ing spent some weeks hunting buffaloes in
the Indian country, and making Republican
speeches in 'Minesota. He will leave home
again about the Ist of August, for the pur
pose of delivering an address before the Alum
ni of Amherst College, and soon after will
enter the canvass for Wilmot.
“Mr. Grow pronounces Minesola Republi
can, true and reliable, by a large majority of
the popular vote. The Democrats there are
awfalty troubled at the result of the election,
and, as is becoming the custom of the party
when the majority decide against them, are
preparing for a factious resistance of the will
of the people.
