The FREQ Stntc Men.

We have an Extra from the Herald Of Free
dom. dated Lawrence, Kansas, Nov. 9th, which
gives us the cause OF the late trouble on the Dor.
der. What state Of affairs does 1t present.
We do not wonder that the freemen Of Kansas
are reused, and ready for war or any other ex.
treni.y, when barbarism, such as Is described
below, is exercised against them with so
6endish and bloody a purpose. Coleman, the
murderer Of Dow and his party, it is evident,
and the '.border ruffians' and Gov. Shannon
simply aided them ia this effort. What terrible
evils has not the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise brought upon the land How fearful the
responsibility which rests upon President Pierce
and Senator Douglas
We suboin the Extra, ouly this morning re-
cei,cd, Of the Kansas Herald Of Freedom.
Murder Most Foul.
Our town was thrown into high state of ex.
element on Thursday last by the intelligence
from near Hickory Point in this Territory, that
Chas. W. Dow, . young man 90 years Of age was
most bsrbarously murdered by a party Of de.
mons who rejoice In the appellation Of '.border
rutaan." NJ. Dow had been to blacksmith
shop swhers several Of these demons incarnate
we're congregated. One Of them drew rife on
him and threatened to shoot him on the spot,
but finally Get down his weapon without injuring
any one. Mr.. Dow started to leave, and got
sxay few rods when his attention was directed
towards the shop by the explosion Of . percus-
aion cap Looking around he received charge
Of buck.shot ia his bosom from wretch named
Coleman, and fell dead upon the spot.
An attempt was made to arrest the murderer,
but he was secreted BY his pro-slavery abettors,
and escaped to Missouri. The people viii assem-
BILE and execute summary punishment upon the
entire party who we're present and accessories to
the murder, il they can be found. We wait
With anxiety for further developments.

CArno, Dec. 6.
from the Memphi, Wig 4thl

aag From the Memphis Wing, 4th.
The melancholy confagraton and loss of life
on Sunday night threwa deep gloom over the
city yesterday. So general was this feeling that
it prevailed all departments of trade, and but lit.
tie was done or talked of Yesterday that was not
in someway affected BY this sad affair. The pre-.
else origin of the fire is not known further than
when first discovered it proceed from the lookup
almost imnle diately under the stoves coming
down forward on board the Collier. There are
two surmises-it may have caught from spark
from the torch basket or it may have originated
in the watchnan's room from some light left
burning. The scene that cnsued beggars all de-
scription. s.s&
II Of the the loss of life it is yet uncertain how
many we're lost, as the boats register was burn
ed up, and the passengers generally strangers to
ench other and to the officers Of the boat. Sew
eral were seen to jump from the Collier into the
river and were not seen afterwards. Thre females
were seen TO pass the wharf boat, but one of
whom is known to have got out. Four persons
were picked up by the yawl some distance below.
The loss of life is varionsly estimated at from
fftecn to twenty-five, vet how many and who
they were, viii most probably never be known.
Sidney, cabin boy, and James Banks, cook.
belonging TO the Collier, are the only ones known
From the NARROWER there are three known to
be lost. Arthur Deganey, barheeper from ST.
Louis, B. S. Condor and Capt Calligan, eng.
neer and contractor on the Vicksbarg R. R. DIR.
Condor, We lean, leaves wife and two chill
dren in. Louisville, Ky.
The loss,of property will not fall short of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The George

Government in a courteous manner (but positive)
decline giving such explanation as has been de-

This aspect Of affairs Impose on our government
delicate obligations, and will require its utmost
