GREAT Hail SToRM.-On our way to
Grashopper Falls last Saturday. we passed
where the great hail storm of the week
previous had committed such destruction.
The storm lasted for upwards of an hour,
followed by an immense fall of rain. The
hail fell in large quantities, many pieces
being much larger than the size of an egg,
and others some six inches ia length.
For some two or three miles beyond Crook
ed Creek, stream about eighteen ol
twenty miles from Leayenworth, the tai
grass of the prairie was cut down, as ifsi1
had been moved, the timber strippedof al
its foliage, and the limbs tornsof, leaving
the trees as though they were dead. We
learned from some OF the citizens that II
many places the hail and chunks of ice
were drifted on Crooked Greek, by the
wind and rain, in piles six feet high. a
good many hegs were killed and drowned,
and much damage done to the crops.

Dear Father:-Before this note shall have
come to hand, you doubtless will have heard of
my misfortune by the papers, though fear not
exactly according to fact The question of
slavery here, has come to such pitch of excite
ment that we are on eve of aciVil war, and it
has been nv misfortune to strike the first fatal
blow at meeting relative to claims, which took
strong party turn as everything in this devoted
Territory does. I was heard by the buEEy and
leader of the opposite party, to call some of.the
proceedings fraud, (i. e. deciding vote against
tWo-thffds, he rushed at me with a piece OF z
by scantling. l fled from him till he struck
me, thenI shot him through the body. He died
in about ten or twenty minutes. l was also
shot at as Ireceived Clark'sblow, but not woun-
ded; was afterwards shot and slightly wounded.
Our party was not as great on the ground, as the
pro-siavery, or we should have had some more
work to do. Il expect to get out on small bail
soon. Your affectionate son,
1t seems from the above that the prisoner
s'expects to get OUT on bail. This expec-
taton viii prove utterly ,fallacious to. him.
Murder is not a ba;lable offence. But il
the sfend, who now stigmatises the man
whom he so brutally murdered a ss5ully,'
should get out, we can safely promise hin
that he will soon be .'dangling in the air.

One of the children was found twenty

mutilated In most shocking manner, and
stripped of every particle of clothing. The
house was frame building, and stood upon
a solid stone foundation, from which it was
lifted bodily by the wind, and dashed to

+ Fences were lexeled, trees uprooted and
twisted from their trunks by the awful
fpower of the wind The destruction along

very great. Weffear that more human

Discovery OF GYPSUM IN KANSAS
From the following letter, which we trans
fer to our columns from the Missouri
Democrat, it will be seen that a bed of
Gypsum Plaster of Paris has been dis
covered on Solomon Fork, about forty
miles above Fort Riley.
This is an important discovery, and will
no doubt prove of incalculable value to the
neighborhood. We hope to hear at an
early day, of some enterprising company
availing themselves of the opportunity to
work the mines. They will find ready
sale for any quantity of the product at
highly remunerative prices. A specimen
has been left with the Editor of the Dem
ocrat, which can be seen on application at
the Democrat office. 51 g
LEBENoN, May IA, 1856.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Being called I'M
mediately away on business after my inter-
view with you, | was unable to give you
the particulars of the location of the bed
of gypsum of which showed You speci-
men.
The bed is situated about 40 miles above
Fort Riley, on Solomon's Fork. 1t has
already been prospeeted sufficiently to
warrant that in quantity it is inexhaustible,
and in point of quality No. 1. A part of
the bed extends under town lately laid
out, called Saline. The river on which it
is situated, (and which with the Republi-
can forms the Kansas,) is navigable in
high water only.
