ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9th, 1855.
The lntcllgencer of this morning publishes
an account Of the late dongs in Kansas,
taken from the Kansas Herald of Freedom,
giving quite Il different view of the matter
from the reports already received This nc.
count says that a young black smith, named
Dow, was barbarously murdered without
provocation, by Coleman and others, ho or
dered Dow to leave Hickory Point, and as he
turned to 90 away, fired charge of buckshot
into his bosom. Coleman fired the shot, and
three of his friends, Ilargus, Barklcy and
Moody, WAGNER, backed him. The citizens
held a meeting and appointed committee to
bring the offenders to justice, but Jones, the
sheriff of Douglass county, at the instance OF
two of Dow's murderer's arrested Branon,
the man with whom Dow had boarded, for
security of the peace.
While on the way to I.ecompton, fifteen of
Branson's friends rescued him. Jones iInme.
diatey sent to Gov. Shannon for aid to retain
him, and the Governor promised to send him
ten thousand men, but it seems he can't get
us many hundred.

Some months ago paragraph went the
rounds of the newspapers, stating that Jo-
soph b. Dantworth, editor of the Weekly Re-
publican, published at Rock Island, Illinois,
had been indicted for perjury, IN presenting
false affidavit of the circulation OF his pa
per, with view Of obtaining the Postofiice
advertising. The case came on to be tried
recently, and tho Judge ordered the indct-
ment to be quashed. 1t appeared from GER

the Republican was somewhat larger than

.B~ The following biographical notice Of
General Tottleben we take from the New

Prussian Gazette:--- 4fI ~ i~..rA1
"Francis Edward Tottlcben was born Mt
Mitau, in Courtland, on the goth of May, 1918.
His father was j. II. 1'otlIeben, and his moth.
er's maiden, name was A. Sophia Sander
His father having removed his business to
Riga, took there his young son, and soon
after died. After receiving the first portion
of his education in the schools of Riga, the
young Tottleben was received at the College
of Engineers in ST. Petersburg, where. his
name now shines, engraved in letters OF gold
with the inscription, "Sebastopo" When the
war broke out he was second captain IN the
corps of field engineers; he distinguished
himself under General Sclilder in the Danu.
bian campaign and repaired to the Crinca.--
What he did at Sebastopol belongs to his,o.
ry. Out of an open city he succeeded in
raising, under the enemy's fire formidable
fortress, that resisted for nearly a year the
gigantic efforts of the allied armies. In less
than year he passed through the grades of
captain, lieutenant colonel, full colonel, ma
jor-gcneral, Acknowledgements, and received,
amongst other distinctions the decoration of
the 4tb, and then Of the I'D class of the order
Of Saint George, which is only conferred for
distinguished deeds. Seldom has mere
general of brigade received this high dls,nc.
ton. Besides himself, it was only conferred
on his noble companion in arms at Sebasto.
pol Prince Wassiltchikotf, who more tortu.
nate than he, was able to remain at his post
to the last hour, whereas Tottleben, having
been wounded in the foot, had to be carried
out of the besirged city. Strange to say, so
rapid promotion has not excited the least
envy, but has been saluted with acclJlnations,
ms being due TO real merit--to courage com.
