Lsten!-for the next moment may bring thc
sound of the booming cannon from over the plains
Of Kansas. Stand ready for you, here in Mime
sofa, may be called upon to take part in the
struggle which may evenuate in bloody civil
war-a war which may sever the Union and sound
the death to the Slavery power. If the bat
tie Of Freedom must be fought on the soil of Kan
sas let it come and let those who believe that the
rights OF the Free States men have been viola
ted, step forth, ready to march, to fight, to die
in defending those rights. There is trouble in the
future-it is as plain as the hand writing on the
wall, and though gentlemen may cry Sc peace =
pesce!"-there is no peace will not be until
Right has triumphed and Kansas is FRkH!
Says an exchange, speaking of the scene trans
pring within the borders Of our sister Territory
cit is no far-westcrn warfare, no Indian trouble

now writing Of; but here, just herc, within the
thrill Of the telegraphio nerve; here among our
neighbors, born under the Same star-lighted aag,
worshippins at the same affairs, and gathered at
kindred fresides.
But those who are accountable for this business
do not figure 10 this strife; those Who have gath
cred the fagots, and kindled them to burning,
and flung them into the harvest fields of Kansas,
are not upon the field. They are out of the reach
of rife and csn6agration. II is not their DWELL

FEMALE BRAvERY.-A well authenticated account
is given in the memoirs of Madame de Genlis, of
the bravery of two sisters, named Theophile and
Flicia Fornig, the one aged twenty-one, and the
other fourteen years. During the French Revo-
luton, 1872, when the enemies of France were up
on her frontiers, and anarchy and rapine prevail
ed in the interior, the necessity of a speedy and
vigorous resistance made these two modest and
timid young girls the boldest and most formidable
of soldiers. To protect the women and children
of the village of Montague, where they resided,
from the Austrians, they put on their brothers
clothes, armed themselves with fowling pieces,
mingled with the National Guard, and charged the
enemy's plundering parties, driving them from the
neighborhooc. In the front rank of these intrepid
defenders of the honor of families, and of the
pose of any ones fireside, they were discovered
by Gen. Bournonvile, from the very precautions
they took to avoid being noticed. He presented
them to Gen. Dumourers, who attached them to
his staff ,as we'll their father and brother These
two young girls became the obi jects of respect in
the whole army they fought with the most dis
tinguished bravery in four or five pitched battles
In 1893 in and near Brussels, they were borne
along tn their impesuosity, into the midst OF the
enemy'S rear guard, when general officer order
ing them to surrender, the younger dashed for
ward, and laid him dead at her feet with pistol
shot. At the village of Guarignen, at the battle
of Jammapas, the same sister charged Hungari-
an battalion with few light horse, and, with
her own hand, disarmed and took prisoner the
strongest and most formidable of the enemey's
grenadiers, the height of her prisoner on foot be-
ing nearly equal to her own on horseback. The
other sister accompanied the duke of Chartres,
afterwards Louis Phillippi, king of France, in
all the actions he fought, and never left his side
in the most destructive charges upon the enemy.
Both sisters accompanied General Dumovrers in
efccting his escape, but the moment they entered
upon foreign soil, they assumed the dress of
their sex, and appeared what they had ever been,
chaste, modest, and reserved young girls. They
were not tall or masculine: their voices and coun-
tenances were sweet and beautiful. They supper.
ted their old father for years, by their own exer-
tions. One day, when the male part of the fam
lily were absent, a robber entered the kitchen,
when, on the alarm being given by the cook, she
assumed her martial look, seized a large stick,
gave the robber sound beating, drove him from
the house, and returned to her company with an
unaffected air, as if nothing bad happened. The
other sister married Belgian General.

In regard to the recent outbreaks in Kansas, we
believe from the lights before us, that they were
caused by q violent and unlawful action on the
part of "Free State men,, as they call themselves,
who congregate about Lawrence.-Pioneer and
Democrat. .
GT We think differently. Coleman who was
killed, had previous to the difficulty which end
ed in his death, abused the Free States men, which
a. that time they did not resent. Subsequently
with number of others, he took possession of
claims belonging to the Free States men, and then
they demanded their rights. The aggressor re-
ssted-the fight was fought, and he fell. There
are two sides to all questions, and our neighbor
will find, when full particulars come to hand, that
Free States men are in the right. Wait and see

good, but takes out Of the peoples pockets some
$l,5OO each year. Indeed, gentleman from
Minnesota, who called on the commissioners of
Emigration, was informed by them that they
knew no such agent, and that the Office was
useless one, rs most of those who came to this

should go, previous to landing. Is it best to tax
