More Mob Violence i'm Kansas.

We learn that mob violence is still the order
Of the day in the vicinity Of Douglas. On the
forenoon of Monday last gang OF twenty-five
or thirty land pirates. who represent the pro-
slavery interests of Missouri in Kansas, visited
the house of Mr.. Hancock, in LecOmpte, and
ordered him to leave the premises with his
goods in five minutes. Mr.. H refused to COM
ply with the demand. when the rufians, led by
Mr.. Jones OF WestpOrt. marched to the front of
the house, and ordered the company to fire
upon him. A parley ensued. after which be
deserted the habitation erected with much Ia
Dor, and allowed his goods to be taken out
upon the open prairie. 1t is said that man
by the name Of Simmons pretended to own the
claim.
After leaviag Hancock's claim they visited
the dwelling of Mr.. Oak ey, and re enaeted the
scenes just narrated. with the addition that the
torch was applied and the tenement burned
Mr.. rs claim was purchased from Southerner
a few months since for two hundred and fifty
dollars, but the new occupant was in favor of
making Kansas free State, hence the outrage.
We are informed that maranding expeditions
are frequently sent out for the purpose of an
noying the settlers. or with the view Of expel-
ling them from their claims. How long shall
these things be, and what will be the end p
Can order be restored without the aid of the
General Government? We believe not, and
farther than this, we believe the good of the
whole country demands that Kansas be blaced
under martial law, and that those who disturb
the public peace by their violence deserve the
severest penalty of the law.-Ran. Free State

illinois Central Railroad.

We are gratifed to notice that the bonds of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company are grad
ually getting up in the New York market
The enterprise of that Company is stupen-
dous one it is in the way of speedy completion
at cost that the whole Government of the
United States could not have borne without
difficulty less than 20 years ago and whatever
may be said of the immediate earnings o: the
road no one can question the vast benefit that
accrues to the State from its construction, and
especially to that large portion of it lying
along its lines. Neither have we any doubt
that its earnings will ultimately be equal to
the reasonable hopes of its owners. A railroad
is thing of highly advanced civilized life. 1t
is a type of great progression; and if it goes
in advance of society, it will simply have to
wait for society and intelligence to come up,
before it can be made sufficiently useful to pay
satisfactorily those who have advanced money
for the cost. A large portion of the Central
Railroad passes through region of country
yet but sparely settled The soil is rich and
the climate prOpitOus every acre WILL in few
years. be put to some use for the purpose of
man. and this road must be the great avenue
of the hundreds of thousands that are to line
it with farms in passing to and from market
The road will ultimately pay, though its own
ers will have to exercise some patience. 1t
should lie born in mind, that its construction
benefits somebody to the amount of several
times its cost, and it is only just to view it in
that light, and be thankful. accordingly In
speaking of the income of the road, it should
be borne in mind, that the country which it
traverses is bare of produce, and will he until
the coming harvest is ready for market when
we hope to see quite different array Of figures
at the end of every month. AS the country
settles up, as must be the case under the exist
ing Land System of the Company, the earnings
of the road must increase rapidly in proportion.

The Fire hs.,ue

It looks like old familiar city days to see the
boys In the streets running after the Fire En-
CINE. Although the machine itself is small
one, it works remarkably we'll, and will prove
ut least sufficient nucleus around which, in
time, to rally an efficient and properly organ
lied Fire Department for our city.
The little engine which we hove already al
luded to as having been ordered at the East
and brought to St. Paul on private account,
was subjected to trial on Wednesday evening, in
presence of the city authorities and a large
concourse of citizens. Although-as those
who worked the engine inform us-the concern
was not fully manned, yet it threw compact
and steady perpendicular stream the distance
of seventy-fve feet. which is all that need be
required to reach the roof of ordinary buildings
in st. Paul. This stream was played against
the spire of the First Presby terian church,
Horizontally, and with more "beef ON the
breaks" a stream was thrown, perhaps, twice
that distance.
The young gentlemen in charge then con-
veyed the engine to the rivers edge. and at
tached their suction hose. The machine sup
piled itself and played through a section Of
leading hosc--the stream reaching at least q
hundred feet from the point of the nozzle
Some of the firemen got an accidental ducking
in the slough while exhiliarating under
this performance, which of course created con-
siderable merriment among their fellows and
the lockers on.
We believe this.is the first fire engine that
has ever reached point on the waters of the
Mississippi above Galena. Private enterprise
has brought it here and as it can be afforded
at a very small advance on the original cost,
it is to be hoped the Council will not hesitate
to purchase it for the use of the city.
In this connection it is not improper to state
that Mr.. Ward, the agent for the purpose of the
Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company, has sue
ceeded in purchasing, in Philadelphia, an eff
fcient apparatus for the Company, at very
reasonable rate. 1t has been shipped, and will
arrive here in very short time.
