Kansas Free State Society.

We call attention to the proceedings of
the kansas Free State Society,"" pub
lished in this paper. 1t shows that the
friends of freedom in Kansas are not in
active, but preparing to meet the issue
presented to them. Our defeats, or ra-
ther want of success thus far, has been for
want of an understanding among the
free State men. With no organization,
there could be no concert of action; but
each left free to pursue his own course, as
his notions of duty or dreams of future
greatness should dictate. Of the bad
result of this policy we have already had
convincing proof Upon the one hand
We have found the slavery propaganda
well organized. not only in the Territory,
but throughout the South. Hordes of
men have been poured in upon us on the
eve of an important election, and carried
all before them. To counteract these
effects, to circulate information on the
question of slavery or freedom in Kaa-
sas, an organized effort was necessary.
We therefore hailthe organization of this
Society as the epoch of better time.
Let them perfect their organization, or
ganize an auxiliary in every neighbor-
hood; in fact, let the whole Territory
be thoroughly eanvassed, all the informa-
ton possible circulated on the subject,
and we shall become invineible. This
Society has appointed an executive OF
managing commit,ee-good men, who,
We are confident, will set the ball imme-
diately in motion
Since writing the above, We learn thai
the committee have appointed three
agents-Col II. C. SAFFoRD, s. n. WooD,
and j. B. TAFT, Esqs. The two latter
gentlemen. We are told, viii canvass the
entire Territory.

Assault with Intent to Kill,

On Saturday, the Sd inst, Mr.. Thomas
Emory, of Hickory Point, was brough
up before ]. K. Goodin, Esq, on Waka
rusa, for hearing on complaint made
by M. Sarley, informer, that the said En-
ory had committed an assault and battery
with intent to kill upon n. D. johnson.
The facts as they appear in evidence,
were substantially these Mr. Emory
had pitched a tent, cut some logs, and
commenced building a house upon land
which johnson asserted was included in
his claim. 1t was also conclusively
shown that the tent and logs were actual
ly on Johnson's claim. On the morning
of the lst inst. johnson went to the place
where the logs lay, and commenced cut
ting them up. Emory soon came along
with an az, when johnson told him thai
they both could not live on that claim and
do well. To which Emory made little
OF no reply, whereupon johnson proceed
ed with his cutting; and looking dowr
to strike a blow, Emory quickly raised
his az, and with the poll of it dealt him
johnson, blow on the side of his jaw
which laid him senseless at Emory's feet
Immediately came up Mr.. L. Kibbee and
the informer, Mr. 1Sarley. to whom Emo
ry acknowledged that he struck johnson
with his Ak. This was also corroboratet
by Mr.. Graves, a young man present a
the afray.
On the part of the defense. it was at
tempted to be shown that Emory com.
mitted the assault in self-defense.
After a full hearing, Emory was helc
to answer before the Supreme Court, frs
term, in the sum of $500. s

Steamer on the Kansas.

1t is rumored that Messrs. BAKER 81
TurT, of Weston, Mo-. intend putting
a light-draught boat on the Kansas river
early in the spring. Such an enterprise
viii advance the interests of the Terrific
ry of Kansas greatly. The cities laid out
on the south bank of the river. Lawrence,
Douglas, Lecomptc. Tecumseh, Topeka,
Pawnee, and Wauponsa, will afford suf-
6cient inducements for such an underta-
king. A great many passengers viii be
coming into Kansas as soon as navigation
commences on the Missouri river; and i
is more desirable to steam it from Kansa:
City into the Territory, than to traye
overland, with heavy baggage. We hops
that Aiessrs. B. d T. will be amply remu
nerated in their enterprise.

Pacific oRailroad--ccl Benten's spesoh-
We have received a copy of the St.
Louis Democrat containing the speech of
Hon. THoAAs II BEsTox, which was de-
livered in the Hsuse Of Representatives
January 1870 the physical geography
ofthe country between the States of Mis-
souri, and California, with view to show
its adaptation to settlement, and the
construction of a railroad connecting the
principal points on the Pacific and Mis-
sissippi. The project of building rail-
road to connect the eastern States with
those at the western limits of the coun-
try, and one that will prove Of great ad-
vantage to the whole people, and greatly
aid in pcopling the lands now lying almost
useless between this aad the Pacific, out
of which several new Safes can be made,
! is one of engrossing interest to the peo-
pie of this country; and Col. BESroS
has, in his speech. gathered irresistible
proofs of its practicability, propriety.
and necessi.v, and submitting it to the
country for is Judgment. Considering
the advantages of the central route over
all others, Col. B. SAYS:
The proposed central route is intend
! ei to be a straight line, turned aside by
no obstacle, and seduced from It's course
! BY no lateral interest. But it will be a
road for the accommodation of the whole
broad cxpanss of the country from the
Mississippi to the Pacific ocean. Branch
IS striking out, like ribs from the spine,
would reach every settlement-northcrn
Missouri and Iowa, from a point Of the
Upper Kansas; New Mexico from point
on the Upper Alkansas-.he Great Salt
Lake from point on the epper valley Of
the Colorado; and thence to the mouth
iof Columbia-and Los Angeles and
southern California from point ON the
Little Salt Lake and Santa Clara settle
ments. All these places would be con-
i yeniently reached by branch roads, while
! the great trunk would follow lis direct
course, best for itself and for them, from
Missouri TO California, debourking at each
eud i'll the midst OF business populations,
and connecting with steamboat navisa-
ton, and all the State Improvements
And its settlement would be magic. The
line once indicated, and the enterprising
emigrants of our America would flock
upon it, as pigeons to their roos.-tear
open the bosom of tie virgin soil-and
spring into existence the long line of farms
aud houses-of towns and villages-oi
orchards, fields, and gardcns-ofchurch-
es. and school-houses-of noisy shops,
gathering mills, and laundering forges,
and all that civilization affords to enliven
the wild domain from the Mississippi t.
the Pacific-to give protection and en-
ployment to the roa1-and to balance the
popu1ous communities in the eastern hal
of the Union by equal populations on its
western half

are paid for out Of the public treasury of

Missionary Society.
] think the provisions of the treaty in
regard to the Friends Mission are very
much the same. Both are essentially
crippled. if not in a fair way to be rooted
ont entirely. The mission of the Meth
|odist Church North is to be at once dis
continued, simply because there is no
possibility of getting any of the school
fund. Why it does not get any of that
fund We are not informed; but DR.. Still
is strongly opposed to making Kansas a
slave State, and it is not at all improbable
that this fact has had something to do in
the negotiations which have resulted in
the present treaty. His mission house,
some thirty miles from any other, is thus
left, and the Indian children who have
formerly attended this school will have to
GO thirty miles away and attend mission
belonging to the Church South: and
what is worse, the great body of the
Shawnees are opposed to slavery and Its
extension All but one of the present
council are anti-slavery men, and this
one, tits currently reported, viii be OBJ
liged to change his politics before the
next election, or he will lose his Office.
But in reference to Mr.. johnson and
his mission, things are very different.
The fee-simple of large tract of the
best of land lying within two miles of
Westport, is thrown into his hands for
mere nominal sum, and SO, 600 is
to be paid him for keeping open a
school ten years, nominally for certain
children, when there is no prospect that
the children contemplated will ever at
tend. These, and some other features of
the treaty. show decided preference in
some powers ta that mission. Whether
it be the treaty-making power, OF wheth-
er it be some power behind the throne, OR
whether it be owing to the intrigue and
fnesse of the Church South, and Mr..
johnson at its head, l do not know. But
enough is known to justify the opinion
very generally entertained by some in
this Territory, that there has not been that
encouragement shown to the Baptists
and Friends Mission that has been to that
of the Methodists' South. Each of the
three have been established for a long
time, and they have done signal service
to the cause OF humanity in civilizing the
sons of the forest. They have labored
long for this great object, and each Of
them should have received at the hand ol
our government equal support and en-
couragement, irrespective of their views
ON the question of slavery.
