A great change has taken place in the weather during the past two days. On Monday the 24th, the weather was so op pressingly hot that linen coats were almost too heavy for comfort. Yesterday, the 2oth, it was so cold that overcoats were worn, and fire in stoves and grates were a common luxury. We do not know what may be the effect of this sudden change, but as a general thing sudden 2hanges are not conducive of health.— Last night blankets felt very comfortable )n a bed. We hope to hear cheering /ems from the upper streams, in come hence of the rain which has produced is change. Coal Diggers' Strike. We are informed that yesterday morn• ng a large number of the coal diggers in 'emperanceville struck for higher wages. emending five and a half cents a bushel. 'his will make coal equal to twelve and a alf cents a bushel. It is predicted that oal will go up to fifteen cents before it tops. The principal dealers have more , rders on hand than they can fill for a Loath, and refuse to take any more , ex ept upon condition that the advance rates -whatever they may be—shall be allow d. Coal digging will soon be as profits le a business as a man can be employed That Thunder. The clap of thunder of which we have afore spoken as having occurred on &m -ay morning, seems to have been a sort übiquitous stranger. Every person ho has spoken of it to as, says that it aret immediately over their house. We e glad to have it in our power to locate . It struck the house occupied by Dr. ange, No. 14 Hand street, without, how rer, doing it any material damage. A an standing in one corner of a room was scharged, the ball burying itself in the ding. No one was injured. Vigilant Presentation. The Vigilant Fire Company are getting ) a handsome present for Mr. Beaury, slat Engineer of the Fire Department at art Wayne.

THE LAWRENCE MASSACRE FURTHER PARTICULARS Sumter Reduced & Charles ton Shelled, LOSS OF in BRITIA STEAMER HEBB THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK Loss of the Brig South Boston &c., &c., &c. &c KANSAS CITY, August 25-7 P. M.- Quantrell's force reached the head waters of Grand River, Cass county, about noon to day, after burning Lawrence, and then divided into squads of from forty to fifty and scattering in various directions. Our troops were half an hour behind, and were also divided and continued the pursuit. Detachments ordered from Lexington met a part of the rebel forces near Pleas ant Hill, killed seven, and recovered a considerable amount of goods taken from Lawrence. Reports have been received that Major Plumb and Major Thacker overtook a company in Lafayette, and killed thirty. Total killed, according to last accounts, is between sixty and seven ty. Our detachments are still in persuit. They ascertained Quantrell's force was three hundred selected men, whc as sembled from Lafayette, Saline, Clay, Johnston, and border counties, Thursday noon. at the head of Middle Fork, Grand River, fifteen miles from the Kanses line, and on the same day started for Kansas. Scouts brought word that afternoon to the military station at Aubrey, 6 miles north of this place, where they crossed the line, of the assembling on Grand River, and in an hour after their entrance into Kansas, other scouts brought word to that effect. Information was communicated at once to all the stations on the border, and to the district headquarters at Kansas City, 85 miles north of Aubrey. A delay of three or four hours occurred at each station to gather in part of patroling and scouting parties, when pursuit was begun from each station separately, leaving a portion of the troops to watch the border, and endeavor to prevent Quantrell's return to Misiouri. Q nantrell's men told many persons be fora reaching Lawrence, that they were going there to destroy the town, but by some strange tatality people along the route who might easily have got word to Lawrence, did not try. A messenger sent by Capt. Coleman to notify the people of Lawrence of Quantrellls approach, failed to get through. Quantrell obtained a supply of fresh horses in Lawrence, which enabled him o wit , trip and elide the pursuit of our ~ o idiers, whose horses were nearly ea• it/lusted when they reached him six miles South ct Lawrence. The citizens who joined in the pursuit were able co keep up wih the enemy, and often compelled him to halt and form in line of battle, but the soldiers could not t.r.;:e their jaded horses to gallop for a charge and pursuit, and went on ineffectually. At night Q,antrell broke his trail near Paoli, and our troops were delayed all night in finding it. No damage was done by Quantrell from the time our forces came up with him until he got out of Plan' sac. Pursuit was so close he was corn- palled to abandon most of the horses they were leading and the goods stolen from Lawrence WASHINGTON, August 25.—A dispatch Was received here to-day, dated Fortress Monroe, Baying that Capt. Chisholm re ports Fort Sumter reduced and Charles ton shelled. The largest numbers of applications for lands under the Homestead Law are in Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas and Wash ington Territory.

PROM L A.WRENCE, KANSAS The Lawrence Massacre—Another Account of the Awful Tragedy, The Conservative publishes the follow • ing account of the Lawrence massacre, from ono of its editors, just returned from the ruins. "We arrived in Lawrence at seven o'clock. Flying rumors had painted a ter rible picture. but the reality exceeded the reports. "We found Massachusetts street one mass of smouldering ruins and crumbling walls, the light from which cast a sicken ing glare upon the little knots of excited men and distracted women, gazing • upon the ruins of their once happy homes and prosperous business. Only two business houses were lett upon this street—one known as the Armory, and the other as the old Miller Block. About one hundred and twenty-five houses, in all, were burned, and only one or two escaped, being ransacked, and every thing of value carried away or de stroyed. Six or eight soldiers, who camped upon this side of the river, and who fired across at every rebel who appeared upon the bank, deterred the cowards from destroy ing some of the houses near the ferry, and from cutting down . the dag-pole. The force of the rebels is variously estimated from 250 t 0.4041. Reliable parties place it at 300. Their every act during their stay in the city was characterized by the most cow ardly barbarism. They catered the town on the gallop, Mg into every house, and when the occupants appeared at the door they were shot down like dogs. Five bodies, burned to a crisp, lay near the ruins of the Eldridge House. They could not be recognised. Eighteen out of the twenty two armed recruits, camped south of town, were murdered in their tents.— Their bodies lay in the colored church when we arrived. Messrs. Trask, Dr. Griswold, Baker and Thorp, were shot down in the yard of Dr. G., before the eyes of their families. Jndge Carpenter was wounded in his yard, and fell, when his wife and sister threw themselves upon his body, begging for mercy, bat to no avail. The fiends dismounted, stuck their pistols between the persons of his protec tion, and fired. Miss Stone, daughter of the proprietor of the, City Hotel, had a diamond ring st.o• len from her finger. Qlv.ntreli obliged the man to restore IL In revenge for this, the ruffians afterward came back and shot her father, before the mother's eyes. They also tried to kill Mips Stone. Gen. Collaruore went into hie well to hide, and the bad air His sc.'', and Pat. Keefe lost their lives trying to get the father out. The life of tilstrict Attorney Riggs was saved by the heroism of his wife, who seized the bridleof the rebel's horse, who attempted to shoot him as he ran. Several cases of remarkable bravery of women were related to Ile, The wife of Sheriff Brown three succes sive times put out the tire kindled to burn the house. 11--r husband was hidden un der the floor The house was saved by her heroism. The offices cd the Journal, Tribune and Republican were, of course, levelled to the ground. John Speer, Jr., of the Tri bune. started for his home from the office atter the rebels came in. Mr. Murdoch, a printer in the plaice. ir,ed to induce him to nenompany him ini.o a well near by for satety, but he would do nothing but go home to defend the house, which he did, and was killed. Murdoch went int , 4 the wen and wa s saved. A young eon of John Speer, sr., killed a rebel and left. The guests at the Eldridge House were ordered out, their room. pillaged, and some ofthe people shot. Two men from Ohio were wounded there, and are now iu this city. Only the presence and peremptory orders of Quark trelle prevented the massacre of all the occupants after they had been marched out on the street. The rebels were told that there was a negro baby still in the house, but they said, " We will burn the G—d d—n little brat," and they did. We saw its charred remains, burned black as the heart of its murderers. l'he books of the County and District Clerks were burned, but those of the Register of Deeds were in the safe, and are supposed to have been saved.— Every safe in the city but two were robbed in the Eldridge Stores. James Eldridge and James Perrine gave the rebels all the money in the safe, and were instantly shot down. All the hotels were destroyed except the City Hotel. Tne loss in cash is estimated at $2.60,000, and in property and all at $2,000,000. This is a low enough estimate. The number of bodies, up to the time we OM, was 113, of which about 20 were barned so badly as to render recognition impelasible. There were a large number of strangers iu town, and when the entire loss is ascerl-ained, we think it will reach 160 killed. Many were doubtless killed by the rebel pickets in the brush. The people have not recovered from the terrible blu w sufficiently to appreciate the full force of their desolation, and when they do recover from the shock, many more will doubtless be missing. We have seen battlefields and scenes . of carnage and bloodshed, but have never witnessed a spectacle so horrible as that seen among the smouldering ruins at Lawrence. No fighting—no resistance; but cold-blooded murder was there. Persons from Lawrence report that the number of dead will reach 170, perhaps 200, as bodies are constantly being found. ICLOMAN & CO The excitement throughout the State is is intense, and our citizens unanimously regard the Lawrence massacre as the le gitimate rule of the Sclkfteld-Ewing pol- icy in Missouri and Kansas. When last heard from. General Lane I was at Hickman's Mills, Missouri, with half clothed, half-armed men in pursuit. ;11e attacked Quantrell about ten miles s‘ mth of Lawrence, and kept up a running fig lit with him to Missouri, killing, up to this time, 19 of the rebels. i tajor Plumb was at Blue, not five miles east of Lawrence, when Quantrell left the tow t, ; he failed to aid Lane. Reports LEAVENWORTH ? August 24 gay Plumb's men dehuonced him for de dining to attack Quantreff, who offered him battle at one point. near Ottowa.— Lane headed ntl Quantrell. The reb.le turned and charged on Plumb, and drove him for about a mile. Ewing tad a telegraph Ilona hi, Ad; tant, at Kansaa Ci.y, the nie be . or.• attack on Lawrence, but did not lea..e here until 1 c'eloclt P. ;he oext day. He then went to Desoto Ferry, about twenty-five miles south of this place, and ten miles east of Lawrence.— At noon on Saturday he was only ten miles south of Desoto.
