o. A SHAMEFUL oUTRAGE.-The violation
of a solemn national compact was naturally
succeeded by violation of the rights of
citizens in Kansas, and outrages upon the
ballot-box are naturally followed by outrages
upon the persons of freemen, such as the fol-
lowing, related in the Rochester Democrat
of May Goth
In one Of our issues of last week, under the
head Of " Pluck in Kansas" we published
an extract from the Platte Argus, Atchison's
organ, printed at Weston, Mo In that
article il was stated that the Pro-Slavery
men of Leavenworth City, X, T., had arrest
ed lawyer named Phillips, of that town,
and commenced preparations for tarring and
teathering him, but upon the collecting of
band of freemen determined to rescue him,
he was set at liberty again by the lawless
gang who had seized his person
1t seems that the offence of Mr.. Phillips is
that he is Free Soiler. And it is pretended
by the Pro Slavery men that he handed
McCrea the revolver with which Malcom
Clark was killed, This is probably false,
as responsible men declare that Phillips did
not at all interfere in the matter.
That outrage, it appears, was but a failure
of conspiracy against the rights and person
of an American citizen. The sequel has at
length transpired and we invite the close
attention of every citizen of the United
States TO an examination of the principles
outraged and the rights trampled ON in the
proceeding.
On the 18th of May, THURSDAY of last
week. Mr.. Phillips was decoyed TO the
bank of the Missouri river, where he was
suddenly seized and forced into skitf
and carried across the river, into Missouri
thence he was taken seven miles to Weston,
An old warehouse stands just below the town !.
he was taken there, has head WAS SHAVED,

Fisk and Norcross are coming down tho
Merrimac now from New Hampshire with
drive of fifteen million feet of lumber. For
a motive power they have sixty oxen and
one hundred and seventy-fve men, besides
the river, which is now in good navgable
order-for logs 1t is very exciting and in
teresting sight to see the great logs rushing
down the river, now piling up in unshapely
masses against the rocks in the rapids, and
now drifting in immense RATS into the
eddies The men and oxen have as much to do
as they can well attend to. The lumbermen
of Fisk and Norcross are all temperate men
and fine athletic fellows. The far-famed
New England dish of baked bean. constitutes
one OF their chief articles of food while de-
scending the river, and il is cooked and served
up in the lumbermen's camp in a style
which would do credit to the most accom-

is this in the evening they build huge
fire upon the ground, and as soon as there is
plentiful supply Of GOALS, they fill a huge
earthen pot with bushel of beans, and a

is opened at break fast time the next morning,

One of the editors of the Amer,can gr,-
culturitt who attended the Vermont Stats
Fair, makes the following candid and iudici-
Gus remarks in regard to this stock of horses
One Of our correspondents has recently
characterized the Morgan horse as n humbug
We wish there we're more such agricultural
humbugs. lie has equally failed in charac-
terizng this fine family of horse flesh He
has evidently drawn his ideas from the thronp
oil miscellaneous brutes that have been picked
up by Jockeys OF every hue and palmed off
among the unsophisticated, wherever such
customers could be found OF course there
IS no such thing as a pure Morgan horse, as
their origin dates from single animal. and
not less than sixty years ago. But they have
had about the same period to form peculiar
race as the Ayrshire cattle and their success
is iuIIy equal. They are not homogeneous in
form, appearance nor character but they
are enough SO to be entitled to the possession
OF distinctive family name. There are very
WIDE departures from the general resemblance
IN many OF the progeny that are bred from
uhcouth dams. We have seen some over six
teen hands high, and some scarcely twelve
some with steep rumps, big heads and dull
eyes, or sluggish gaits, that were called Nor
gans, and probably enough were gotten by
them, but the characteristics of the dam
We're too potent 10 be subdued by q single
cross. In conclusion we are compelled to
say, that the tr1tc typc of the Morgan horse
Is as desirable an animal for the road, whe-
ther our taste, or convenience, or pockets
are concerned, as We have ever seen In har-
ness and success, say We to the Vermont
enterprise Of rearing and maintaining a new
and highly creditable family Of horses

Out on the deep tho evening gun
Had signaled wide tho setting sun,

Ills crimson mantle frinscd with gold
And glory paved his starry way

We sat upon the sparkling sands
Young love had made the throne divine.
Timid in hope clasped thy hand
That nestled soft and warm in mine.
We were alone upon the shore.
The only sound the bllows' roar.
While on the waves the wild duck swung
Or sea gull startled upward sprang
With dowy eye and blushing check,
The words of love you heard me speak
told you Of little home
Far in the wide, wide West,
Where. never mere from thee to roam
My loving heart should make thee blo,t.
Where wild birds sing and waters play
And flower, bloom beside the way
Of the wide prairie. sunny smiles

OF low cottage yet to be
A heaven on earth, and shared with thee.

Since thus we parted cvermore.

No solace save the drcary shore
Thy spirit walks with Inc tho sand.
