We had neither space nor timo last week to call attention to the ticket placed in nomina tion by the Union County Convention which convened in this borough on the 19th inst. The individuals who compose it are men of high standing in the community, well quali fied to discharge the duties of the respective stations for which they are named, and in the event of their election will be a credit to the county. We have now full State, District and County tickets in the field, (if the representa tive nomination is concurred in by the other counties of the district,) and we trust that every friend of American interests and the principles of freedom, every friend of the U nion and the Constitution, every one who has at heart the prosperity of his State and coun ty, as well as the country at large, will go to work with a determination to elect them. It is plainly manifest, judging from the special interest they take in several of the nominees, that the Locofocos are afraid of our ticket, and we believe, If proper exertions arc used, we can elect it. We wish to add a remark in regard to the Convention which nominated our ticket, and it is, that it was a large one, composed of some of the best men In the county, much enthusi asm and perfect harmony prevailed, and the nominations were made with aa especial view to qualification. FEELS SOEE! The last Clearfield Republican came to us filled with wailings as plaintive and mournful as the "book of lamentations." And what do you suppose is the cause of this display of heart-rending grief ? We will tell. In these latter days, those opposed to the election of a certain James Buchanan, more fumiliarry known as "ten-cent Jimmy," called and held a Convention on Tuesday evening of Court week, which was "on the same nfght" that the Democrats held their meeting. Kovr tins the editor cf the Republican thinks is a dreadful matter, a daring piece of effrontery, "a thing unprecedented in the history of political par ties in this country." Gc-whillikins ! is'nt it awful that the people should assemble in thsir capacity as Ircemen without consulting the astute editor of the Republican and asking his permission to do so ? Who can "phancy the pheelinks" of the poor fellow in regard to 6uch a frightful state of disobedience and will fulness on the part of the yeomanry? The Union must be in danger ! ! ! ! But, to speak seriously, this is the first time we have ever heard any one, even the most rampant fanatic, arrogate that the Democracy had the exclusive right to any evening at any period of time. What a specimen of tolerant humanity "our neighbor" is ! But, when wo consider that the editor of the Republican is a stickler for "popular sovereignty" as it is enunciated by the "Border Ruffians," we need not be astonished that he would, if ho could, deprive a portion of our citizens from mcctin together to discuss the important questions that are to be decided this fall, for he is well aware it both sides are heard, that his party will be the loser by a fair presentation of facts. How does it Come? Last week we wcro told by several of our subscribers, who lift their papers at different post offices, that they Lad not received a Journal for some three or four weeks. How does this come 1 We put our papers iu the office here regularly, and it seems strange that persons within the coun ty cannot get them in less than a month's time ! We do not wish to cast reflections on innocent persons, but there is something wrong somewhere. That's so! . In McKean county, a voluntary movement has been made by members of the Democratic party,, editing iu a thorough Fremont orgnu wx "TerM township, of the c'.nrtv. ANOTHER UNION MEETING. The Work goes Bravely os ! Another large, respectable and enthusiastic meeting of tho opponents of James Buchanan was held in this borough, on last Thursday evening, in front of Graham's Row, the Democrats having again taken possession of the Court House. John K. McFarland was chosen President, Wm Suinmcrville, John Bish. Esq., Capt. Henry Groe and Samuel Sebring, Esq., Vice Tresi dents, and Win. S. Bradley and W. A. Camp bell, Secretaries. After the meeting was ful ly organized, Hon. i. T. Hale was loudly call cd for and took the stand, lie said there were so many reasons why James Buchanan should not be supported that he hardly knew wher to begin. He then referred to the campaign of 1844, when Buchanan held that Polk was a better Tariff man than Henry Clay, by which Pennsylvania was carried for Polk, and yet as son as they were in power the Tariff of 1812 was repealed at his suggestion which was a direct thrust at the interests of his own State And now we are asked to support Buchanan because, forsooth, be is aPennsylvanian ! Ue then alluded to the all-absorbing slavery ques tion, and showed the position of the Locofocos ia regard to it. Some pretended to be oppo scd to the extension of the institution, and j-ct asked us to support their candidate, who had denied his individuality and thrown himself upon a pro-slavery platform. The Richmond Enquirer, he said, held that the extension of slavery was the only issue to be decided ; but tiie speaker thought there was another issue with the Democrats, and that was the perpet uation of their offices. Give them these, and they cared little where slavery would go. He next alluded to tho constant prating of the Locofoco leaders about a dissolution of the Union if we but said we would vote for the men of our choice, we were at once told tha we were disunionists. The speaker said he would always sustain the Union he would raise no parasidal hand against it he wished only to maintain our rights and there were no Gorgon terrors for him in tho cry that we wished to dissolve it. lie concluded by urg ing ail to go forward as one man. Let us bo united let us lay aside our personal feelings and show a united front in support of our tic ets at the election in October. J. B. SIcEually then took the stand and de livered a somewhat lengthy speech, in which he fully reviewed the great issues involved in the present contest, and urged the importance of concert of action. After he had concluded, Samuel Linn, Esq was called for. Ho scarcely knew where to begin to discuss there was so much to say on the questions before the people. There was one thing upon which we can all agree that Americans should be free. If a policy is pnr sued by an Administration which strikes at our liberty, then it is time that patriots ought to resist. Free discussion is guaranteed to us, and he loved to hear men inquiring what is for the good of the people, and the institutions of tho country. Let tbein examine the various platforms, see where the right is, and then pursue it. There is a questiou before us not sprung on us ia a day it has been gradually stealing upon us it has been forced upon us, and we must meet it face to face. When the Tariff question was before us, where was the South ? Tho opposition to a Tariff arose in the South, and dough-faces In the Xorth as sisted them to destroy it. Hostility always came from that sectiou. And thus free labor was to be brought down to slavo labor our labor was to be made uniform with theirs, aDd then came the 10-cent speech of Buchanan The theory may be a nice one, but practically it won t wor well. Labor is the destiny of man "in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" and to reduce wages was to strike at our most vital interest. Elevate labor and you are freemen. Liberty, he said, was the princi plo that God has impressed upon everything it is seen in the stream that ripples through the vale the bird that carols in the forest, feels it it was the watch-word of thcRevolutionit is inscribed upon tho obelisk that rears its lofty head heavenward it is liberty that binds this Union, and every thrust at it, is a thrust at our country's honor. Enslave the body and you enslave the mind find slaves and you find unveiling lniuecinty oi nimu. That is not the true eagle that is chained to the rock you must see him as be soars aloft from his eyrie and tip3 the clouds with his wings. That is not the true lion that is restrained by the iron bars of his cage you must go to his native jungles and hear him roar in all his ma jesty in the forests of the east. And that is not the true man who is in bonds but if you would see him in all his nobleness of cha racter, yoa must see him unfettered and free as he came from the hands of his Creator. And yet the effort was made to spread slavery over our lair land in the west. It is a blot a blemish to our country it has made our states men to tremble and feel that they were sitting on tno crator cf a volcano. And now we are called upon to say whether we shall extend this institution to Territory now free. He then referred to the fact that if a single citizen a broad is maltreated, the administration was ready to plunge us in a war ; but when num bers of American citizens are shot within our own borders, it is passed by as an idle tale He concluded by urging all to unite in resist ing the Locofoco party. n. B. Swoope was then called for and in rcsponso showed up Buchanan in his true light an'd urged all to assist in defeating him. He said he hoped all would go to work for the Union State ticket, the Union District ticket and the Union County tkkct, and avowed him self in favor of a Union Electoral ticket.which he believed and in fact knew would be formed. I. G. Gordon, Esq., was then called and made a few remarks. Much enthusiasm prevailed, and after the speakers had finished a torch light procession was formed and marched up and down street, after which the niectimr ad journed with three cheers for the Union State i ticket, throe for ur Connty ticket. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. On Tuesday night of last week, tho Democ racy of ClearSeld held a Mass Meeting in the Court House. For some time previous it had been announced that the two Bigliti, Sam Black", and "other distinguished speakers,'"' would be in attendance. We must do them the justice to say that by such representations they did succeed in getting up a large meeting. But when the hour for convening was at hand, neither of the Biglers, Black nor Dougherty made their appearance, and so they had to fall back upon their old stand-by speakers. But we were near forgetting that there was one "other distinguished speaker" present nd ad dressed the meeting. He is pretty well Jnown as the "Razor Powder and Electric'Ointment man." We did not hear his speech, but we presume that he, as is usual with Locofoco speakers, considered the Union to be in a suf fering and dangerous condition. If ho did, (and wo say it with all due respect to his vo cation,) he might have very appropriately. "an nounced that he had a nostrum which was de signed to heal every ill to which man and beast was heir, and that doubtless it would "save the Union ;" and if any one then and there present wished to go to Kansas and assist the "Border Ruffians," that his powder would answer most admirably to put a keen edge on their bowie-knives. We have no doubt that such announcement would have acted power fully on the disturbed nerves of our down town "neighbor," who was much exercised be cause tho Union Convention was the largest political gathering ever held iu Clearfield county. The usual services were performed, when the meeting adjourned quietly, and we are disposed to think considerably "down in the mouth." At least the editor of the Re publican "showed his teeth" slightly in his next day's paper. '"Alas ! poor Yorick!" FILLr'CSE HE E TING. In pursuance of previous notice given by the Fillmore and Donelson club, a meeting was held in the Court House on last Wednesday evening. A large number of persons attend ed. After the meeting had been organized, Col. J. Bell was introduced as a free singer. After he had finished singing a song, M. II. Jolly, Esq., of Altoona, took the stand and made a speech, ia which he gave his views of the several Presidential candidates. Wm. S. Keys was next Introduced, and delivered a lengthy speech, in which ho showed the posi tion of the American party, and exposed the wiles of the Roman Catholic church, and its attempts to gain a political ascendancy in the United States. He was listened to with mark ed attention, and was frequently cheered. II. B. Swoope was then called upon, and in defi ning his position said he was in favor of and would support the Union State ticket, the U nion District ticket, and the Union County ticket, and also expressed himself favorably disposed to a Union electoral ticket, founded upon a fair and just basis, arid by which he could labor for his candidate. After he had concluded, the meeting adjourned. Any person who was present at the various meetings held last week by tlioso opposed to Buchanan, could not fail to observe that the general sentiment of the masses is in favor of union that the people were determined to move in concert in order to defeat the candi dates of the Cincinnati convention. The "Buck asd Bkuck Cub;' of this place is a great affair. On last Thursday evening a meeting of the said club was called, which was earned by a number of "distinguished speakers." The "dander" of the Locos had been raised considerably, it not more, in con sequence of the opposition holding another Union meeting at the same time, and which was more largely attended than the club meet ing. I lie "lucks" were determined to out do the others and stuck to it pcrsevcringly. incir anxiety, However, got the master of their prudence, as they soon learned, for when they called upon an attorney from Bellefonte, named Blair, they had no idea that his speech would be as long as a Newgate calender, or, as some one designated a similar effort, "an elaborate exemplification of an extraordinary elongation." But so it was. and the faithful began to grow restive. Finally the President remarked that it was late, nearly eleven o' clock some cried out that they were sleepy others said that be ought to stop and so mat via vub uu uuiu iney dia stop mm. liie meeting then adjourned, and by forming into procession, tried to make a displav. But it was no go. After marching around a little, they gave it up in despair, Mowed out their lights, and tolled the bell, doubtless as a funeral-knell for James Buchanan. In the clas sic language of the editor of the Republican, go it, ye cripples !" How the Catholics Go ! A gentleman from St. Marys, stated to the Buck and Brcck club in this borough, on Monday night, that Bu chanan was bound to be elected that Fremont would not receive a vote in Benzinger town ship, Elk county. It is well known that the whole population of Berziugcr is Catholic There are those who contend that Fremont is a Catholic, and yet here is an entire Catholic community of between 200 and 300 voters, not one of whom, it is said, will support him. If thpre were no other evidence, this fact Is of itself sufficient to satisfy any reasonable man that Fremont is a protestant. But then wo have the additional fact, in this connection, that every prominent catholic paper opposes him, and the express declaration of the Bos ton Pilot, an organ of the Roman church, that ho is not a catholic, besides tho evidence of those who have known him from a child, and aver that he was baptized and confirmed in the Protestant Episcopal church, to which he has always and does yet belong. The individ ual who would contend that Fremont is not a Protestant, when he has such direct and posi tive evidence before him, roust be either "a knave or a fool," or perhaps both. A meeting is called at New Orleans to assist the Southern emigrants in Kansas. . THE CONDITION CF KANSAS. A committee, composed of S. G. Howe cf Boston, and Thaddcus Hyatt of New York, gentlemen of high character rnd intelligence, was appointed by the Buffalo Kansas Conven tion to visit Kansas for tho purpose oi ascer taining by personal observation the wants of the settlers, and the progress and difficulties of emigration. These gcutlemcn have returned aud made their report. On arriving at St. Louis, they found the avenue by way of tho river absolute ly closed against all Free State men, ai:d they were obliged to turn back, and take the route through Iowa and Nebraska. This journey led them through three hundred miles of sparsely settled country, unprovided with coaches, hotels, or the ordinary facilities for travel, but where tho scattered settlers in their log cabins enjoy and permit free speech. During this journey they passed several par ties of emigrants from the Free States, toil ing slowly along on foot toward Kansas and Nebraska their families and furniture drawn by oxen. They were forced to take this cir cuit because they dared not fol'ow the route through Missouri. Other parties were met returning eastward, disheartened by the dif ficulties of the way and by the dangcra ahead. When they arrived on the Kansas border they found it occupied by the Border Ruffians, in small parties, scouring its whole length, and arresting every man who at temited to en ter. They found they could not enter Kan sas, even by this remote route, except by run ning a r.iuck over tho frontier and risking a fight, or by waiting until the whole body of emigrants could move. They had not come to fight, and they had no tiir.e to wait; so they did not order Kansas, but they learned from various authentic sources, that there is great distress and want among the people, thus cut off from all resources. Business is paralysed, and the future is gloomy. They are like a garrison in a beleaguered fortress, with this additional evil, their enemies are a mong them, harrassing them iu every possi ble way and form. They found the body of emigrants winch had arrived on the border, encamped on a prairie, forty miles noith cf Kansas. There were about 800 in camp, including some SO or 40 women and children. Some 200 more were on the way, between Iowa city and the camp, and 500 were expected to be in camp by the first week in August. These were all actual settlers, and were but por-.rly armed. They were generally men cf respectability and intelligence. General Lane joined them, but his presence was considered unfortunate, r.3 giving an excuse to the territorial authori ties to attack them. At their earnest request he left and went back to the States. They al so sent a messenger to the commandant at Fort Leavenworth, asking for au escort across the border. Such was the actual condition oi this emi gration on the last day cf July. They would wait tho week out, and jf no answer came to their application for escort, or if the answer should be unfavorable, then they would march forward and protect themselves as well as they could. The resolutions adopted in solemn conclave of the leaders weic that, if opposed by the alissouriar;?, they would fgkt their way for ward ; that, if met by United St:ite3 troops, they would persist in their clear right of ad vancing, aims in hand ; if opposed by force, they would not use tiieir arms, yet would not yield them, but retire upon free soil and wait the action of the several States whose citizens they are, and whose protection they will claim. Later accounts say that cr.e of the compan ies which composed this encampment had for ced its way across the border, and had airi ved at Topeka. Definite accounts of the fate of the whole company will be looked for with interest. Congress The Puhse axi tue Sword. The President called an extra session of Con fciesa, me;i conveneu on tue --1st. It vras called because the Army Appropiiation Ei had not Leen passed. 1 he House had added a proviso, which -the Senate would not agree to. The whole matter is fully set forth ia an article on our first page. We wish here mere ly to show the relative position of Congress and the President in this matter. A union of the Svord and the Purse, is repugnant to A- merican patriotism. We have, however, be come reconciled to have a standing army, be cause the People, through their Representa tives, have control of the appropriations for its supply, by which they can check and con trol the Executive, who is commander-in-chief of the Army. President Pierce has com manded the army to enforce laws in Kansas, which are anti-republican, monstrous in their iniquity, and despotic in their objects. Tho Senate, which is decidedly pro-slavery in its tendencies, has determined that the President shall have the Purse, with thirteen million dollars, to enable him to take up the Sword, or army, and drive out the Free State men from the soil of Kansas. The House, however, bv the proviso to the army appropriation bill, says he shall not usurp authority. The Senate is still endeavoring to have its way, and threat ens to disband the army, by refusing to pass the bill, if the House does not recede, and by so doing invite, as the President says, t he hordes of predatory indians from the Western Plains and Rocky Mountains to spread devas tation along our frontiers, and deliver up the sparse population to rapine and murder. And yet it would persist in its course, and brin- on these calamities, rather than concede to Kansas an exemption from the bayonets and sabres of the United States troops. llon. Thomas F. Marshall, late of Kcniucky now of Chicago, made an eloquent speech a few days ago, in favor of Fremont and Day ton. Tom is a democrat but cannot go Bu chanan and the Cincinnati platform. lie is for freedom m the territories, iu order that lie white man may settle therein. For the Xiiftmv's Journal. THE PEOPLE A P. 0 U S E D ! He largest political rs.therir.g cf tho e.-e-r ic-Ii. ia Wdvra.ri icvfsslii?. 7C0-.-.C In pursuar.ee cf an invitation given, ie people of Woodward and adjoining t:wnhipj, who are opposed to t he Fierce policy and the election of James Buchanan, assembled at the rcMderice cf C. Jeffries, i:i mass meeting, to more clIectuaHy unite their forces ag.iinst the encroachments of foreign influence and the extension of slavery over territory now free. At the hour appointed, over seven hun dred persons, ladies aud gentlemen, wcro i:i attendance. The meeting v.ns organized by selecting John M'Faulaxk, Chairman ; Geo. M'Cully,' John Coulter, W. Smiiy and John Weld, Vice Presidents, (the Secretaries think there were other Vice Presidents chosen, but could not ascertain the names,) L. W. We'd and D.Cathcart, Secretaries, nnd Rev. II. Kep hart, Chaplain. A splendid U. S. Flag, and a number of appropriate banners were on the ground. The meeting was opened with an ap propriate prayer by the chaplain, after v.-hich the glee club, composed of thirteen young men in bcantiful regalia, sang an ode to free dom. C. Jeffries then addressed the people, and showed that it was as necessary now, for the ladies to inspire by their presence tiie hearts of American freemen, as it was in tiie days of the Revolution, when they stood by thousands near Banker 1 1 ill and other battle Melds, and like protecting angels waved their banners of libeity, until tiieir fathers, brothers and lovers, had given freedom to America. That the same principles, the freedom of Speech, the right of the Press, and the elec tive franchise, as in the days of the Revolu tion were involved in the present contest, and he hoped that the laaics, by their presence, their smiles, and their blessings, would every- Uiisere cheer and urge America-.! freemen to rr.'ct at the ballot-box and overthrew furever the march of" Fouticxisii and the i.XTr.xsiox OF SL.vvr.iiv on our soil. After which he re viewed the history cf the Pierce outrages in Kansas, and the inroads of Popery under the present Administration, and closed by shew ing that Buchanan, the Locofoco csr.di.late for President, had endorsed the Pierce usurpa tion -r but that the union of tiie Fremont and Fillmore forces, was destined to consign hiia to a solitude, from which no political power will ever c.ili him. An ode to the Union was then sung by the glee club. After which, thirty-one young In dies, ail dressed in white, emblematical -I"onr principles and as the representatives of the thirty-one States of our Union, were seated in a circle in front of the audit -r.ee, when a young lidy (Miss Susan A.Kephart) dressed in "mour ning as the representative or injured Kansas, arose and in a clear, loud and cioqueui man ner, addressed her sister representatives r.s follows : "Daughters of America, and r-r-presentaiives of the States of vv.v glorious Union : I appear before you to-day, us the representative of your illustrious, but now wouuded and enslav ed sister territory of Kansas. We were once free and happy as you, but our ruicr have destroyed the soiomn comt.iotr.ise of cr.r fa thers, and removed the lurritrs that were for ever to hold slavery n.oorr-.i within the con fines of its chained and groaning millions, and have sent it on its maTxii of blood and an guish, over all the free and fruitful soil of our fair and lovely Kansas. Vour laboring sons ar.d daughters,both of the north aud the south, hastened to become the citizens of oar noble clime. The sound of har py industry began the march of its glory.

But the vampires of in human bondage beheld our ascending star.an-i mustering their forces on the plains of Missou ri, they cuteivd our happy Kansas, and robbed us ol ail the Constitutional l ights of freemen, destroyed our elections, took possession of our ballot-boxes, and drove us from the polls. And after electing from their own armed bands, a pro-s'.avery Legislature, they procee ded to make laws to govern the free people of Kansas, among which the freedom of the Pit ess, and the liberty cf Spekch, were for bidden under the penalty cf iin.vru. And yet those cruel, inhuman r.nd ur:cor..slitutional laws wore sanctioned by the President of the United States, and forced upon us l v the bay onets and cannoa of the federal troops. Com panies of the lowest order of armed men were sent among us from the slave States, who shot down our cattle, took away our horses, robbed our houses, demolished our homes, burned our towns, destroyed our printing presses, and murdered our citizens, until our whole land is now become a .cene of violence, desolation and woe. We have called to the Government tor help in vain. They have only heaped in sult and violence upon us. And now my sis ter States, from the deep anguish of our "deso lation, we stretch our hand to you, and in the name of those, stars ami strings, and in the name ot our endeared Constitution, we appeal to you to help us through the ballot-box. and let notour star cf empire sink beneath op pression's eternal wrong, to rise no more for ever. O, for the sake of the wasted blood and treasure of the illustrious and heroic dead aud for the sake of the bleedin,' cause of your native country, we urge yo:i to help us." O, for the sakeofhiia whose path is embossed t.iih eternal ori s, and who v. ill supremelv judge tiie world, we ask you to set us free from the chains that now bind us in slaverv and death." An ode to Kansas, was then sung by the glee club, after which the audience wcre'cordiallv invited to parUke of an excellent free dinner provided ly the friends of Amleic.v aud Free dom for the occasion. Dinner being over, the people were called together bv an ode to '-Our Country,s freedom," from the glee club. M. A. Frank, Esq., was then called for and res ponded in a short, but an appropriate speech, in which he exposed the Union-saving hum bug of the locofocos, that at everv election the democrats must have their candidates e lected or the Union will be dissolved, yet Ei W was beaten over thirty thousand and the Lnion is still safe. lie urged the union of the opposition against the worthless old states man James Buchanan, for the Presidency. The Anti-Buchanan ode was the- sung b the glee club, at the closo of which Col. James S. Myers, tho nominee for Congress, was cal led for, who on risincr received tnror oh-re from the audience. He commenced his speech by showing the Anti-American policy of the Pierce administration, and the foreign Rome ward tendency of the present so called Demo cratic party. He then in a clear and forcible manner, reviewed the Listen,-' ot the Missouri compromise, the Nebraska fraud, and the out rages committed by the Pierce Dei-io...-- in Kansas, and aiter union of the Frc- 1 he "1 remont Train," was then snn" by the glee ciub, when the meeting adjourned. 1 he people, with few exceptions, were well pleased with the views and l-roceedinc-s of the iuu elections ia Texas, have resulted in fa vor of the Locofocos. who have gained !ar?c!v. urrrinrr a mont ana i uinmre forces, he closed, by show ing Buchanan's worthlessncss as a statesman and his unsuitableness for the o.'iice of Presi dent of tho United States. uav. -vnu it will doubtless be productive of , ou,2?ca D-v lan,ls r Joseph Davis, great good to the cause of Am vric a and lie- 'J? ,7 "l f ,Martin oers.

Within the last week, news of a staillinv character have been received from Kansas. I The reports are very rr.sst isfuetory as well a contradictory, and but little reliance M:ui4l Sx.' placed upon them until something mora tangible conies to hand. On the 11th August, the town of Franklin is sai I Vj have been a?, aefced by 200 Free .State men. A fight tnsucd in which six Free State and four pro-slavery men were killed and a numloi wounded. It seems that parties ol Caroliniaus and Missou rians bad encamped on Washington creek aisp committed numerous depredations. The peo ple of Lawrence sent Mr. Hoyt, a Massachu setts man, to the camp of the Missourians, to ascertain the reasons for these depredations. Mr. If oyt went unarmed, was taken prisoner, and shot deal. The Lawrence people then im mediately proceeded to attack Franklin with a view to drive the rudlans ou$ of the Territo ry, but iu consequence of the loss of killed and wounded returned unsuccessful. The form in which the above came at first ihows that the accounts are much exaggerated. All we can do is to give the accounts as they come and ssii our readers to wait patiently un til correct ones come to hand. Tiie following reports we glean from telegraphic dispatches, which are just now very uncertain : The Leavenworth Journal states that COO Free State men, headed by Brown, had attack ed a coloni' of Georgians, near Ossawatomie, and driven them into Missouri, destroying alt their property. On the 1-jth the Treadwell settlement was attacked by -100 Free Soilers. The inhabitants sent to Governor Shannon f0r aid, and the Governor called on the U. States troops to go to their assistance, but the troopn refused. A fight occurred on the 11th . near Ossawatomie, between 200 Free-soilers and 12 Pro-slavery iner. The latter were in a fort. Twenty of t lie assailing party were killed and wounded. On the li'.tii the town of Lecomp ton was attaeked by 800 men under Col. Lane. The U. S. troops having charge ot Robison, Brown, and the other prisoners, surrendered without firing a gun. Col. Titus was absent at the time. II is hnr.se was burned. 3Ir.Claves, editor cf the Southern Jldcocate, and another person, were killed. It is reported that large bodies are organizing in Missouri, and also, that the Pro-slavery- men intended to buro, Lawrence on the 2Uth. The New York Times has a despatch from Lawrence at 3 P. M. on the 21st,which says : Yesterday about 400Freo State men, including 100 from Lane's party, attacked the Ruffians' camp at Washington creek, but the cowards ran before we got with in a mile, of them. They were strongly forti fied. They left their provisions and we burn ed their fort. We took two priioners near by, who say they had about GO men.
