ST.. LOUIS, Dec. ia dispatch from In
depencence of the 18th, says that the trouble
at Lawrence, Kansas, was settled by the peo-
pie promising to deliver up the offenders; ;
obey the laws of the territory; recognize the
governor, as such, and conduct themselves
for the future as law abiding citizens should
do. They refused, however, to deliver up
their arms. The volunteers from Missouri
have disbanded and returned to their homes
And this is the glorious fzzle after all the
buster and bravado of the border ruffians.
Of course the above alleged concessions of
the free state men are absurd and as false as
the other telegraphic dispatches from st.
Louis have turned out to be. Thus ends the
war The reputation of Sharpe's rifles set
tied the matter. Pierce hesitated to order
out the regulars, and without the regulars
nothing could be done. Most glorious fzzle
Most ignoble and cowardly Shannon That
step, between the sublime and ridiculous, has
been taken by frenzied but Sinking borderers.
Those bold and fierce Missourians,
Some several hundred men,
Rushed out to war-lay drunk some days
And then loafed home again.

Franklin Pierce, president of the United
States of America it seems from a
proclamation given in the papers, learned
that something is going on in Nicaragua
that citizens of the United States have been
proceeding to that place with arms in their
hands and conquering the natives. This
Pierce has apparently been the last man in
the Union to find out the facts in the case.
If he had not been so slow to learn, he would
have understood before this time that one of
the territories Of the United States has been
invaded by thousands of the inhabitants of
another state. That, in answer to a call on
the militia of the territory, these hordes
from the state adjoining poured in, loudly
and profanely expressing their intention of
subjugating the people of the territory. He
would have learned also that the story of
murder. house burning, and resistance to le-
gitimate laws, on which the first call to arms
was made, was an unmitigated lie, circula-
ted for incendiary purposes. But he is worse
than know-nothing, and while proclaiming
peace and good will to Nicaragua, he joins
in the aspiration for the " law and order

LITERARY PAPERs-Some of our exchang-

Journal, in order to get that paper year in
exchange. We think the Home Journal the
very poorest literary publication with which
we are acquainted. We greatly prefer the
Maumee City Visiter. The Sandusky Reg
lister is the best literary and newspaper that
we receive. The Home Journal is only re-
markable for n. P. Willis's distortions.

SHARPES RIFLE.-IhlS recently invented
weapon, which we hear so much of in the
accounts from Kansas, is described as fol-

arm in existence. The small carbine now in
use by the U. S. mounted rifemen throws
ball with deadly accuracy one quarter of Il
mile, and can be loaded and fired ten times
per minute. It is not complicated in struc-
ture, is easily cleaned, and suffers no injury
from wet weather.
Mr.. Sharpe is now preparing models for
four new species Of bis weapon, namely: A
small pocket pistol. calculated to throw a
Minnie bal 100 yards a cavalry pistol, with
range of 800 yards rifle suitable Tor foot
men with a range of one mile and a large
gun to throw tWO-O ounce bali, or a small
she'll, one mile and half or as far as man
or horse can be seen to advantage. With
this latter weapon Mr.. S. declares he can
Get on fire house or a ship al distance of
nearly two miles, and prevent the use Of field
artillery by killing the horses before the guns
are brought within good range.
This rife, in the hands of good marks
man, is equal to ten muskcts, bayonet and
all; for, place d man six rods distant, with
a musket and bayonet, and before he can
bring the bayonet into use, the rifle can be
loaded and discharged ten times. They car
| ry balls with great precision and force. Mr..
Sharpe intends these rifles TO become a ma
tional weapon; and should congress, by
using little llberaity purchase the patent,
the country would be possessed Of means
of warfare unequalled in the world.

The EXECUTION CT GEN. CoRRAL.-The
Washington Star learns that when it was
known the court martial of Americans. into
whose hands Walker had surrendered Corral,
had determined on his death, addresses were
sent to Waller signed by all the foreign res
idents in Granada and by all the clergy and
principal native citizens. asking that his life
be spared, and offering on the part of the
clergy and men of wealth, to mortgage their
fortunes as guarantee that Corral, if not
executed would live tranquil in San Juan
del N0rte' But Walker sierny refused to
spare his victim. Soon after Corral was
shot, the people Of the city surrounded his
corpse, large majority being women. who
cut all the hair from his head in little locks.

their clothing in his blood, to be- kept as

THE CONTEST FOR SPEAKER.-There are
some features in the present contest for spea-
ker which tax to the utmost the charity and
patience of those who wish to see this pro-
slavery administration defeated.
Pennsylvania, a free state and a state
which has suffered more than any other in
the Union by her blind adherence to locoto-
coism, now, when it lies in her power to
cast the die against the author Of all her
woes, stands right in the pathway, and with
jackass strength braces her feet and prevents
the organization of the House. Vote after
vote, she adheres to Fuller, while Banks
comes within five or six of an election
This stubbornness, this crminality, has dem
onstrated that Mr.. Fuller is not fit man

enough to forbid such factious use of his
name, he is mere tool, and if he is part

crlmlnally ambitious in either case unfit.
crlminally unfit, to be speaker of the house.
1t makes Republicans of Ohio blush to
their eyes to read vote after vote with the
names Of Harrison, Ball and Moore cast
against Banks. Better things were expected
of these men, and if at the last Nebraska
man is elected speaker by their aid. political
retrlbutiOn will follow them all the davs Of
their lives. We hope and trust they can
satisfactorily explain their conduct. There
never was an instrnce in which an attempt
to figure for strength in ones own district
at the expense Of the general veal did not
result in the political death of the member
of congress. who thus permitted self to
