Latest From Kansas. uf the N. T. Tribune. Lawrence Jan. 19, 1859, Yesterday-afternoon Capt. Montgomery came before the District Court, at present in session here. Judge Elmore presiding, and surrendered himself up. As the President, the Governor'of Missouri, and other very officious gentlemen, li,ive offered rewards for him, he wanted to see what it was about. The only charge found against him was an attack on a store at Willow Springs a year ago, in which it was alleged that he‘ “or his men,” participated. He promptly gave bail in 84,000 to appear before the next term of the District Court, and was liberated, lie has been in consultation with a number of persons here about the best means of securing a just and permanent peace for Lynn and Bour bon Counties. Mr. Montgomery entered the legislative hall, and was introduced to those Members who had not previously known him. He is to address tlie people here to-night. We make the following extracts from a let ter written.by Montgomery and published in the Lawrence Republican : Letter from Captain Montgomery. Lawrence, Saturday, Jan. 15, 1859, Editors Lawrence Republican. —Gents : It is known to you and to readers of newspapers generally, that 1 hive hitherto patiently borne all sorts of misrepresentations and abuse., through the public prints. There is now an effort being made by a certain class of journals to fasten the responsibility of my conduct upon the Republican Party. Under these circumstances it becomes my duty to speak out. Wo had, in this part of Kansas, from the first, a class of violent Pro-Slavery men, who came to the country determined to keep out all who were in favor of making Kansas a Free State. It was no part of their policy to be peaceable. The plundering and driving of Free State men from the southern part of Kan sas in ‘56, is a matter of history. A sort of truce followed the advent of Geary, during which many of the Free-State men returned to their claims; but there was no real peace; outrages' were frequent, and in Bourbon Coun ty, especially. Free-State men were every where bullied and insulted. The laics were not vimlc for Free-Slate men; “they were made for the benefit of the Pro-Slavery Party/'— The Courts wore controlled by the Blue Lodges. It was impossible to convict a Pro-Slavery man however guiltj'; and next to impossible to ac quit a Froe-Sate man however innocent. Under those circumstances, revolution was clearly our right. The heating of Mrs. Stone by preacher South wood and family may be considered as the commencement of a new era in the history of Southern Kansas, ending in the forcible espul hion of ncarty all the violent Pro-Slavery men in the troubled district, From the time of Gov. Denver’s visit in June, till the session of the Court in October, every thing was quiet, and so might have continued but for a few interested politicians and hungry lawyers. The present difficulty was caused by the vio lation of the Denver compromise. Judge Wil liams, in accordance with the compromise, char ged the Juries of Lynn and Bourbon Counties to **let hy-gones bo by-gonesand to “do as little as possible.” A few indictments were got up in both Counties, evidently for the pur pose of asserting the right to drag us into the Courts. The principle once established, they could do a fine business at another term, when the lawyers and officials would reap a harvest in the way of fees. The attempt to assassinate me was planned in Kansas—a few Missourians being called in for the sake of appearance.— Lynn and Bourbon Counties were both repre sented in that transaction. For Brown’s doings in Missouri I am not res ponsible. I know nothing of either his plans or intentions. Brown keeps his oa*n counsels, and acts on his own responsibility, I hear much said about Montgomery and his company. I have no com pan}’. "We have had uo organi zation since the sth day of July.

Williston of Tioga County, one of the ablest members of the House, and now in his third session, is not Chairman of a single Committee, and is not even a member of any of the im portant Committees ? It may be all right,.but up here in the woods, it looks just as if the speaker was not quite what Vis friends claim for him. Our friend Rogers, of the Me Kean Citizen, speaks of this matter as follows : “The Standing Committees, of the House were announced on Monday last. In the for mation of the Committees, injustice was done to many of the Republican members, particu larly those that opposed the election of Mr. Lawrence for Speaker. It will be seen that Col. Wilcox of M’Kcan has been placed upon three important Committees—the Ways and Means, Railroads and Mines and Minerals,— which shows conclusively that ho occupies no mean position in the House.’, Our members we believe voted for Mr. Chase, of Susquehanna, and hence we find neither of them a chairman of a committee, one of them on two unimportant committees, and the other on one that scarcely ever has a meeting for business. Mr. Lawrence is no doubt a talen ted young man, but entirely too young to be fair in the formation of legislative" committees, J'otter Journal.

Kansas is bleeding because a pro-slavery ruffian was shot. But let us reserve our sympathy and look at the facts : It will be remembered that about a year ago, a notorious bandit from South Carolina Capt. Hamilton by name, finding his “occupation gone” (with the advent of Gov. R. J. Walker,) took a number of the immortal “South Caro lina Tigers” as they called themselves, who had nothing else to do, and went into the guerilla line on their own account. These bandits chose the vicinity of Fort Scott for their field of op erations, because it was near the Missouri line, and also because it was so far away from the seat of Government as to make it safe. Fort Scott is not, as many suppose, a garrison filled with U. S. Soldiers. It was formerly used as a garrison when Kansas was an Indian territory, but like Fort Snelling it was sold for a song to some political favorites whp built a small town there, and it still retains that name. Less than a year ago, eleven quiet and peace able Free State settlers, were gathered up from their homos by Hamilton and his gang, and without trial and without even an opportunity to speak in their own defence they were delib erately funned into line and shot down—five killed and five wounded —one, unharmed, pre tended to be killed, Th&ruffians then left them for dead. The only crime charged against them was, that they were Free State men. Although this event was heralded by the independent press all over the country at that time, it was met by the Democracy with the same inhuman sneer of “Bleeding Kansas,” and pretended to be regarded as a “Black Republican lie.” In order to avenge these wrongs and to defend -themselves against the future incursions of these pro-slavery outlaws, the Free State settlers of Lynn County rallied and chose Montgomery as their leader. Had Gov. Denver of Kansas, or the Governor of Missouri, or the President of the United States, tried to ferret out and punish these murderers, there would have been no need of a defensive organization. But the protection of Government is offered only to the minions of Slavery, and freemen have always had to fight their own battles. Last Autumn Gov. Denver, in order to quiet the settlers, assured them of protection, in case of any further disturbance. He promised that they would have no further annoyance from prosecutions for treason—an amusement which the pro-slavery office holders sometimes In dulged in—in short that by-gones should be by gones. This arrangement was respected by the Free State men until a few weeks ago, one of the Fort Scott appointees of Mr. Buchanan ar rested a Free State man upon one pf these old indictments, whereupon Montgomery sent word that if the prisoner was not released immedt- ately, he would march his men into their town at all hazards and release him. To this they paid no attention, and Montgomery was as good as his word. A man named Little fired upon Montgomery's party wounding one of his men. He was instantly shot, and the prisoner re- leased. This is the whole story of Free 1 State outrages in Southern Kansas. As to “Old Brown,” and his practical abo litionism we have little to say. When we re member that bis son Frederiek was foully mur dered when riding unarmed to the house of a neighbor; when we remember that his son John was marched over the prairie, by pro slavery U. S. troops, with the barbarious “ball and chain” attached to his arms till his suffer ings made him a maniac ; when we remember his own Bufferings both of mind and body,—the prices put upon his head, by those who wished him destroyed—how he was hunted like a wild beast—when wo remember all this, there may be some palliation for his acts. It seems that on the 19th December last, a negro man went over from Missouri into the Osage settlement in Kansas, and stated that he, together with his wife, two children and another negro man, were to be sold in a day or two, and begged for help'to get away. “Old Brown” thought this a good chance to gratify his hatred of Missou rians, and on the next night he took a small company of neighbors, went over the line and liberated the slaves. It is stated that both he and Montgomery pillaged the neighborhoods where they went, but this is not true. Mont gomery did not cross the line at all, and Old Brown told the negroes to take such things as they might need to help them on their way towards the North Star, believing that they had earned enough to pay for all they took. We have thus been particular in giving our readers the entire facts in the case. We do this, to show how easy it is for the pro-slavery Democracy to find tears and a conscience when pro-slavery men happen to be the sufferers. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOE. Upon these facts all their holy horror is predi cated, and if they can succeed in awakening sympathy, cither in themselves or others, then they are not entirely hopeless. IVe do not desire to be understood, in any thing wo have said ns excusing or justifying the Free State men in acta of IV roxo committed by them. We believe' “two wrongs never made one right." We give in another I column the latest news from Kansas, which will be read with pleasure by every lover of peace. Grow Against Speculators. On the nineteenth of January last, Mr. Cobb of Alabama from the Committee on public Lands, repotted a BUI in the House of Repre sentatives amendatory of the Preemption laws. The object of this bill was to prevent frauds ago.lnst the Government, as settlers sometimes remain but one day on a claim and then seU to speculators. By Mr. Cobb’s bill, three months occupancy of the land is required. The member from this district, Mr. Grow, who has repeatedly urged upon Congress, the policy of granting to actual settlers free home steads upon the public domain, thought this opportunity a good one, and accordingly he offered an amendment, “that no public lands “ shall be offered for sale by Proclamation of “ the President, until the surveys thereof shall “ have been filed in the Land Office for at least “ ten years.” This amendment was adopted by fifteen majority on a direct vote, but by the carelessness or the indifference of some of those who had voted for it before, the House refused by a majority of four to order a third reading and it was lost. On looking at an analysis of the vote, we are not surprised that this beneficent proposition was killed by the Sham Democracy. We are not surprised to find men who desire Congress to vote Thirty Millions of Dollars out of the Treasury into the hands of Mr. Buchanan to buy what they know is not for sale, voting against the settler and in favor of the specula tor. We are glad to be able to say-that not a single Republican voted against this measure intended for the protection and benefit of every poor and industrious settler. How often have we heard the bar-room politicians of the Sham Democracy assert that the “Great Democratic Party” is the party which protects the poor laborer as against the rich monopolist; and ever some who would not like to be ranked among the “bar-room” stripe, have asserted the same thing: Yet in the very face of this boast, we find this beneficent measure for the protection of the poor squatter, as against the rich speculator voted down by the Representa tives of that party in Congress, without giving even a reason for the act. In vain did Mr. Grow refer them to the message of Gen. Jack son in 1832, in which that statesman recom mended that Congress should not look to the public lands as a source of revenue, but that they should be set apart in limited quantities as homes for actual settlers. In vain did he show them that those land monopolies palsied the hand of industry everywhere, and had par alysed the energies of some of thq nations of the Old World. What do these Sham Dem ocrats care for the poor white man or his pro tection? Nothing at all. But let us ask, When did the Oligarchs ever ask legislation for the protection of themselves or their “niggers” in vain ? Not lately. But the poor white squat ter without “niggers” and with nothing but his big brown hands to help himself with, he is of no account in the eyes of these modern Democrats. We notice among those who voted against Mr. Grow's proposition the name of Allison' White. lie was elected last Fall to stay at home for the nest two years, the people of his district believing by about two thousand majority, that he did not properly represent them. If anything was needed to convince his constituents of his unfitness to represent them, his vote on this question ought to bo sufficient. We do not believe there is a laboring man in Ids district or in all Pennsylvania who would sustain him in that vote. Yet wS find Ahl, Dewart, Owen Jones, Loidy, and all the other Leoomptonites of this State in the same cate gory. 1 Twice within a few years has Mr. Grow suc ceeded in getting a bill passed by the House, granting homesteads to actual settlers, and os often has this bill been defeated by the Senate. And though this time his effort failed in the House, we hope ho will repeat it as often as an opportunity shall present itself, till success shall crown his efforts. Juries. The Germantown Telegraph last week has a very sensible article urging the abolition of Grand Juries. In England a reform in the Jury system is strongly advocated by the London Times, and a Bill is to be introduced into the British Parliament aiming more particularly at a reform in the Traverse Jury, and insisting that three fourths—or nine of the twelve Jurors —shall be sufficient to establish a legal finding. There can he little doubt ,in the mind of any intelligent person acquainted with our Courts that this reform in Traverse Juries is merely a question of time. For ourselves we will be satisfied for the present with an effort on the part of the people to rid themselves of the farce of Grand Juries. ¥0 are satisfied that the ends of justice could be secured quite as well by a tria'l on information, as if a True Bill had been found by a Grand Jury. The truth is, that justice is often defeated in this relic of the great Circumlocution Office, where men learn How not to do it. Besides it is a useless ex pense upon the county, and in the cities, cor rupt verdicts are of every day occurrence. We heartily second the suggestion of the Tel egraph, that some ambitious lawyer in our Leg islature who wants to bo regarded as a bene factor, shall take this matter in hand, and make it a part of "the legislation of the State the present session. We know several gentlemen there, who are fully competent to the task; and we think wc speak safely when we say that any member who takes the initiative steps in this reform, no matter to what party ho may belong,’will secure the thankls not only of his own constituency but of the people of the State at largo. COMMUNICATIONS. For tlio Agitutor. Prizes in Common Schools. Full well I know that many excellent teach ers are strongly in fiivor of pecuniary prizes, ns an incentive to action in our Common Schools, but upon this point I must be allowed to res pectfully but strongly dissent from them, for many good and sufficient reasons. In the first place, but few prizes being offered, from the very nature of the case, but few can obtain the great desideratum, no matter how dil ligent every scholar in school might have been. For a few days, perhaps, every scholar in school may be fully aroused, and every one may strug gle on manfully and devotedly to reach the cov eted medal; but ere long the fact begins to de velop itself that the contest, in fact, is between a very few. A decided majority begin to fall behind. Two or three being in advance, the others are naturally discouraged, and as soon as the artificial stimulant is gone, they are more deficient in spirit than they were in the com mencement. A man under the influence of any unnatural stimulant may move onward with more than ordinary force so long as that continues, but when that is once gone, he recedes to and even beyond his original position. So with the scholar. He fails to obtain the prize—he gets sick of his hooks; he has studied only to ob tain a mere bauble and not a lasting benefit; he labored only in view of the recitation—ho saw nor had no other object of study,—fancied that he is sent to, and that the object of school is to secure the glittering medal so temptingly displayed before him. By such a course of dis cipline he mistakes the whole object of educa tion. Wrong passions are drawn out and de veloped ; a spirit of envy is cultivated, and the result is that this prize system fails of inducing the scholar to study for the sake of improving his mental faculties, and benefilting him in after life. In the second place, it fails to benefit even the one who is fortunate, or unfortunate enough to’boar away the prize. His success gives un due prominence to the organ of self-esteem—■ he of course concludes that he is much more talented than his school-fellows, and he leaves his school with the impression that he is “smart er” than mankind in general. But when he enters into the active duties of life, for the first time perhaps he becomes fully convinced that there are others as strong as himself. Having considered himself much superior to what he really was, he becomes disheartened at his first disappointmeht and many times falls behind his duller classmates. In confirmation of this I would inquire why it is, that so few prize scholars in our high schools are so rarely heard of afterwards ? Again, scholars have different advantages at home. Some may have parents both competent and ready to asist them whenever any difficulty Crises, —they have nothing to occupy their time aut of school houses, but on the contrary, some friend is constantly pushing them forward. Others may be obliged to work before and after school to pay for their board; they may not only have no one to assist them out of school, but every moment of their time may be occupied with work. Now, B honestly ask, are these scholars placed upon a i equal footing? Is it fair to grant him a prize who possesses every possible means of advancement, over him whoso condition is the very reverse ? Many more reasons might be introduced in opposition to the prize system, but Ibelieve.that every one who. candidly reflects upop this, will admit that its evils far outweigh its virtues—that whore one argument can be brought forward for its support, a half dozen can be offered against, and that the sooner it leaves our Common, Schools the better. J. B. N. To the Editor of the Agitator; Dear Sir : In “Familiar Letters on .Geology etc., No. 8, published in your paper last week, I noticed an error which you will please'to give me space to correct.

This is an error—fan is Welsh for fire, and haul for sun. Charleston, Jan. 27. D. G. Edwards. Tariff Resolutions. The following prcamable' and resolutions, upon the subject of a tariff, have passed both branches of our State Legislature. Whercas, as the experience of the past and present most fully demoxiafrato that is a wise and beneficial policy of the government which dictates the imposition of duties on such pro ducts of foreign nations as come in such direct contact with those of our own country as to injure and prostrate the trade on our own soil and among our own citizens, and for want of such the artizan and laborer in many depart ments are compelled to abandon their accus tomed pursuits ; especially do our own coal and iron interests suffer—therefore, liesolvcd, (by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of Pennsylvania, in General As sembly met) that our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our representatives requested, to labor for the passage (at the present session) of such an act as will not only tend to increase the revenue by the imposition of duties, but afford ample encouragement to all the interests of tho country, injured by the productions of the cheap labor of other countries, but more especially to urge an increase of duties on coal aud iron, in which so large a portion of our own people are deeply interested. Resolved, That the views of the President, expressed in his late annual message, in ref erence to the advantage of definite or specific over advolorem duties, as more uniform, less liable to frauds and affording the most certain amount of revenue and protection, meet our hearty approval. Resolved, That the Governor be requested to forward to each of our Senators and represen tatives in Congress, a copy of the above pre amble and resolutions, informing them of their adaption. The Salem (Mass.) Register says that during the late cold spell the earth and the ice cracked frequently with a loud report, and in one in stance, a large linden tree on Olive street was split from the roots to the top of the trunk, with an explosion like a piece ordnance. As Awful Work Before Him. —The editor of the National Democrat, a new administra tion paper started at Cleveland, says his design is to purify the Democratic party. Panthers Shot. I Some two weeks ago, we learn from the Ty rone Star, that while Mr, William Ewing Was engaged in taking out cross-ties for the Tyrone and Lock Haven Railroad on the Ridge between Half Moon and Hannah Furnace, his dogs a short distance from where he was at work made such a fuss that he was attracted to the ptaie, and there discovered a large panther. Havmg no gun with him, he sent his little son—who was about eight years of age—to the house for one; but, before his return,) Wm. Dowling ;passed by that way with several dogs. This so excited the panther that Ire jumped from the tree, and was about to give “leg bail,” hut the dogs soon “treed” him again. 1 By this the boy had arrived, when Mr., Ewing took the pun and shot the panther thrqugh the heart, lie measured eight feet six inches in [length. One day last week, our worthy Burgess, Jon athan H. Burley, returned from a huntingiex pedition, (in which he was accompanied' by Abraham Nevling and Neal Gregory,) bringing with him the hide of a female panther which they had been successful in taking. The whole' city appeared at once to he thrown into a furor of excitement; everybody wanted to scathe “painter;" and we really did not' envy four friend Burley for the "good luck” whichjhad befallen him and his comrades, for ha /was obliged to answer more questions than are’eon tained in both, the larger and shorter catechisms! It appears that while in pursuit of game, along the Moshanon Creek in Centre county, three or four miles from Osceola, they came the carcass of a deer, which, as the signs indica ted, had been slain by a panther , but a| few moments before their arrival) at the spot A dog was immediately placed) upon Bta track, and in a short time, the ferocious^mobster sought refuge in the branches of a spruce tree, about twenty feet from the ground, where she rested herself until she was jdislodged two balls from the trusty rifles of the hunters.; She fell headforemost to the grojand but immedi ately regained her feet when it was thought ad visable to give her the benefit of another ball or two, and that “settled herj hash.” JShe was about three feet two inches from tip to tipj The hunters were led to believe that there are- more of the “ugly varmints” in the same neighbor hood ; and, as there is a handsome premium offered for their scalps we wonder that any of the “critters” should at all. ’ j Sevextt Dogs ox a Tiurx— Distinguished Arrivals. —By the Chicago train yesterday, the party of English tourist,! ■who. have been on a hunting excursion to the west of this arrived in St. Louis and took up quarters! at the| Plant ers' House. The party was Composed of Lord Cavendish, and Messrs. Seymouri and Ashley, of England. They are accompanied to this city by Messrs. J. B. Austin and J-iW. FJster, of Chicago. The Canadian gbverniuent about a year since appointed Prof, jllind. and Messrs. Dickinson, Fleming and Hind, Commissioners to explore the Red River Valley. were joined by the above first named individuals, and since then have occupied the time in hunting and exploring the country jfrom, the mouth to the source of the Red River. \ The party left Selkirk on Red anti Aasine moine rivers, on the 29th df November, with a train of seventy dogs for {Crow Wing, which point they reached in 15 travel.| It was supposed some time since dhat they had been attacked and killed by the | Indians inlWestern Minnesota, but the report was shortly after dis credited, and we are now happy to record the safe arrival of the party inj this city in the en joyment of excellent health, and apparently much benefitted, physically, by the excursion. They have various trophies of the ctyase, such as buffalo and other furs, the hide-and horns of a magnificent buffalo bull that came nokr killing Lord Cavendish, Indian curiosities and a dog of the Esquimaux breed used fori drawing sledges. They describe thje life they have been living as indeed and fishing, chasing Sioux Indians and being Phased by them in return, and enduring hardships not altogether unpleasant from the very fact of the novelties attending them.-j-*S/.
