sarcy with their talk now that I've these here fixing
on. I brought him down a kinder smart, I reckon.
'spect they won't be so sarcy now. I'll see
jest who next I'll meet." _ _

From the city of Leaven worthl went before noon
to visit the fort. I there met Colonel Sumner, at
that time in command of the garrison, with whom
I had much interesting conversation on the troubled
condition of the territory, and from whom I re-
ceived during my stay in Leavenworth much kind-
ness and hospitality.
The scenes of the 12 hours I have described—
from midnight of the 23d of May to noon of the
24th—were repeated during my few days' stay in
Leavenworth without intermission. As the night
advanced the ceaseless whisky-drinking showed its
fruits. Pistols went off sometimes unguardedly;
knots of people collected at each street corner. The
bar-rooms in the hotels, which were all political
clubs, became crowded with noisy debaters planning
the great deeds they were to perform on the mor-
row. Numberless gambling-houses were the resort
of others. Cards could have been picked up in the
streets by the score ; and in a town where the very
first demands of civilisation were wanting in the
furnishing of the house there was no lack Of such
oostly indulgences as gaming-tables, which reminded
one of Baden-Baden or Homburg. Every species of
shameless wickedness and unchecked outrage met
one's gazD at every turn.
My own accommodation at night was of the
worst. I was subject to frequent interruptions of
armed intruders, whom I could not keep out of my
room ; and by day I hid to listen perpetually to
conversation which was painfully revolting. On
the day of my arrival the seizure of Governor Ro-
binson was, of course, the principal topic. Stories
were circulated about him for..which there was not
the shadow of a foundation.

"If I had caught his track, d—d if I wouldn't hay.e
shot him dead. I told him so at the inquiry. I'd have
smashed his head right out. I don't care if it isn't true.
I told him I should believe it, whether or no, till he
proved it wasn't. He is a flung-up, pilfering, d—d
puppy ; that's what be is, fix it which way you like."
Judge Lecompte came down to Leavenworth in the
evening to see Dr. Robinson. The next day I also
saw Governor Shannon.- Rumours were put into
circulation that the Free-State men intended to
attempt a rescue of their leader during the night.
Committees were held in consequence, to organise a
defence; and few probablY retired to rest that night
in Leavenworth city with the expectation of re-
maining till morning without a summons to arms.
The Committee of Investigation appointed by Con-
gress was alsq sitting at Leavenworth during my
stay. The enormities that were brought to light
embittered-exceedingly the Pro-Slavery party; and
many threats were made against the persons of those
who gave their testimony, as well as the lives of the
commissioners. On the third day of my stay seve-
ral Free-State men were arrested, among them
the clerk of the Committee of Investigation and
two of the witnesses. They announced it also as
their intention not to let a single Freesoiler escape.
Among all the scenes of violence I witnessed the
offending parties were invariably on the Pro-slavery
side. The Free State men appeared to me to be
intimidated and overawed, in consequence, not
merely of the determination and defiant boldness
of their opponents, but still more through the
sanction given to these acts by the Federal Govern-
ment. Their later conduct appears by the reports
we have received to have been more determined in
the way of resistance.
But at the time of my visit they seemed scarcely
to venture to open their mouths, or confess the
party to %which they belonged. It is probable,
also—as the period I have described was that in
which the first severe blow was struck in the attack
made upon Lawrence7—that:even later times may
riot have exhibited so bitter a hostility or so un-
controlled a lawlessness. In charitable judgment
one may at least hope so.
I can only testify of the events that crossed my
path at that critical period, and, as such, present
them as a small brit mournful contribution to-
wards the history of a most momentous struggle.
—I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

THE LATE MR. GvS ROM (1 HOYT,

I The mysterious circumstances connected with
the sudden death of this gentleman on his home-
ward voyage on board the ship Cherubim deserve
particular mention. As he was a man of consider-
able literary mark, as well as an official servant of
the Crown, we briefly note the chief points of his
career which seem worthy of notice.

Charles Rowcroft was son of the late Alderman
Rowel-oft, an eminent merchant in London, who,
having been appointed her Britannic Majesty's
Consul-General at Lima, was unfortunately shot in
the execution of his duty in 1824. Chas. Rowcroft,
the son, who was born on the 12th day of July,
1798, was educated at Eton. He was subsequently
a well-known political writer, and for some time
conducted the Courier. He is, however, best known
to the pßblic as a writer of fiction, and his " Tales
of the Colonies" must remain a valuable and stand-
ard addition to the literature of England. In
the year 1852 ho was appointed her Britannic
Majesty's-Consul at Cincinnati, in Ohio. hardly
had he arrived at his post when the Russian war
broke out, and it will be readily recollected bow
soon the British Consul in Cincinnati became the
object of the most deadly enmity to a political
party there. He was most unjustly accused (as the
result of a subsequent judicial inquiry proved) of a
breach of the neutrality laws of the United States,
by raising and levying soldiers for her Majesty's
s'rvice in the Crimea, and as soon as the falsehood
of the accusation had been fully and legally proved
the consul was again involved in an embarrassing
question which arose in the course of his labours

some of the witnesses examined, that a conspiracy
existed for the invasion of Ireland by neutralised
Irishmen resident in America, who were to be
aided by an armed force and munitions of war from
the United States.

The perpetual anxieties and persecutions which
Mr. Rowcroft underwent after the month of July,
1855, undermined a strong constitution. He lived
in perpetual fear of his life from the threats of the
lower class of the Irish emigrants who surrounded
him, and who carried out their native antipathy
against everything British. To this was added a
strong suspicion that the American executive Go-
vernment were privy to the meditated attempt on
Ireland, a►,d the whole of Mr. Rowcroft's career in
America was one of unmitigated labour and vexa-
tion.

American Ministry at the same time with the with-

So short a period, of course, did not give Mr.
Rowcroft an opportunity of accumulating property,
but, on the contrary, from the expense of taking
up his appointment, establishing the consulate, the
high price of house rent, provisions, servants, &c.,
ho would have landed with a wife and five children
as poor a man as when he left.
The mysterious circumstances attending his death
are set; forth in the annexed report of the captain
of the ship i❑ which he sailed. His family and the
officers on board who witnessed his decease were
deeply impre,sed with a feeling that some foul
play had taken place, bat were unable to discover
any positive evidence.
