ST. LOUIS, June IL.
The latest news from Kansas received this
evening states that John Donaldson, report
ed killed by free state men, is alive and well.
Col. Snmher is dispensing all armed bands
irrespective, and prospects of peace and tran-
guilty now prevail.
ST. LOUIS, June IL.
A Lawrence letter to the Democrat. dated
the 5th, says John Upton, Sergeant Arms
of the Kansas Committee, while going from
Westport to Lawrence, was taken prisoner
by q party of Buford's men, but through the
influence of Mr.. Oliver was released after
one days detention.
Gen. Whitfield is said to be in command
of company of about three hundred men,
encamped near Prairie City, twelve miles
south of Lawrence, engaged in stopping,
searching and OBTAINING travellers. Col.
Sumner went to Prairie City with troops,
and commanded Whitfield's company to dis
perse, which they did, but after going five
miles again encamped, committing depreda-
tions upon the property of settlers. Sum-
ner, on learning that Whitfield's company
had not yet dispersed, cent to the Fort for
more troops. Three hundred Free State
men were encamped near, watching the
movements of Whitfeld's company and ready
to give him battle, but the presence of Sum-
ner's command has prevented fight up to
the present time. 4

Mr.. Fillmore Declines-and Accepts.

Under date of June llth, the Washington
correspondent Of the N. Y. Tribune tele-
graphs as follows " We have a startling
rumor that Mr.. Fillmore declines, and avows
himself in favor of the northern candidate
though he is conservative on the subject"
Speaking of this rumor, the Galena Ad-
vertiser says: a" We have expecte this, and
do MT doubt the correctness of the rumor
No man with the sagacity of Mr.. Fillmore
could blast his future prospects by SO spici
dal an act as would be that of virtually op,
posing the popular sentiment of those who
have elevated him in years past"
p S. After the above was in type, we re-
ceivcd by the Granite State yesterday, the
Galena Advertiser of Friday. 1t contains
the following despatch, dated Washington
June H. One or the other statements must
be true-which one, it makes very little diff
ference:
"Mr. Fillmore's letter of acceptance ap
pears in the Organ to-day. 1t is three col
umns long"

MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 1e, 1856.
Kansas Affairs.


We offer no apology for occupying SO large
space in our paper, with the details of
events that are transpiring in that unhappy
land. 1t is the all-important topic of the
day-the reading of which must send thrill
through the heart of every lover of liberty
in the world. 'i-1s -
we have published all the news that has
reached us, sometimes the accounts given in
the Border Ruffian papers, and at other times
those given in the Free State papers. The
news which we published on Saturday was
made up entirely from pro-slavery sources
that which We give this morning is the ac-
count of the "abolitionists."
The Pioneer, with its bombastic preten-
sions of giving the latest and all the news of
the day in advance of its cotemporaries, has
scarcely ever word OF news of these stirring
events but it affects by closing it's eyes,
and stopping up its ears, to make its readers
believe that the "accounts of Kansas out
RACES, )" given in the Minnesotian and Times,
are all exaggerations. 1t is SO fearful of in
juring the prospects of the Democratic party,
that it does not even publish the accounts
given by its own friends, the Border Ruffians,
except when they manufacture some whole
sale lic-as the assassination of Sheriff Jones'
for instance, who was not injured at all,
but had only hid himself for few days,
that the word might 60 abroad that he had
been foully murdered by the "cowardly
abolition traitors ..tt +
The Pioneers correspondent from Leaven-
worth, has been prescribed because he was
suspected of an affinity with the Free State
party, yet the Pioneer is dumb on the sub
ject. And now we give this morning an ac-
count of the arrest of Judge Wakefield, well
known to our old citizens, who made a
speech at Democratic meeting, held at the
Court House, IN this city, about six weeks
ago, on the subject of Kansas.
Will the Pioneer publish the news Of the
day? Its correspondent prescribed, its
orators arrested, yet it dare not say one
word We blush for shame at its deep hu-
initiation.

TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE II, 1856


seeg tFfs Furious
The Pioneer, all of a sudden, has awaken
ed itself to partial sense of the state of af
fairs in Kansas. 1t came out yesterday
morning with flaming leader, starting of
with denunciatlon Of ali the slavery agita-
titions-including the original agtator,
Douglas, of course-but ending with grand
flourish of swords, pistols and hemp at the
persons of Reeder, Lane, and Robinson.
Never word, however, had the Pioneer OF
yesterday against the Missouri, South Caro-
Ina AMI Alabama invaders, who have driven
its Kansas correspondent, Mr.. Proper, from
his home in Leayenworth, and compelled him
to bring his wife and family back to their
friends in Minnesota in order that their
wearing apparel, household property and
persons may be out of the reach of a band Of
cut7throats and outlaws, led ON by such
brutes as Sh nnon and Jones, and backed by
the President Oh no to say anything of
all this, might, perhaps, fat least the Pio-
neer thinks it might, but nobody else does,)
injure the prospects, of Ten cent Jimmy"
for the Presidency. The medicine is evil
IDENTIFY working, and the Pioneer fears its
potent virtue. We are inclined to think
that Lane, Reeder and Robinson will feel
uery bad should they happen to get hold of
the Pioneer of yesterday !

NEW ORLEANS. Ju

New ORLEANS, June IL.
The steamer Daniel Webster arrived to-
day from San Juan, the 9th inst, with Cali
fornia dates to May Goth.
Great excitement existed at San Francisco
in consequence of the assassination of James
King, editor of the Bulletin, by man named
Casey. King died on the 18th, the affair
occurred on the 18th, Casey had been arrest
ed-citizens much excited. A meeting of
the old vigilence committee was called, pla-
cards of an infammatory character were
posted calling on citizens to take the law
into their own hands. On the 18th 300
citizens completely organized into companies
and armed with muskets, marched from the
committee rooms and had taken possession
of the Jail, and took thence Casey together
with Cogo, the gambler and murderer of
Gen. Richardson, and carried them to the
Committee room. Here they were strongly
guarded until the steamer sailed. It is sup
posed they would be hung, as the whole city
is draped in mourning for the death of King.
Casey was formerly an inmate of the Sing
Sing prison, a statement of which in Kings
paper led to the difficulty. The Vigilance
Committee was fully organized throughout,
and it is said fund of $4,000 has been
raised and they are determined to drive all
gamblers from the State.
The committee were well supplied with
ammunition, and the proceedings were charac-
terizsd by the most perfect order and pro-
priety.
The George Law, from Aspinwall for New
York, had nearly $2,000,0OO in gold on
freight.
There had been no arrivals of ships at San
Francisco fiom the Atlantic States during
the fortnight.

II is OUR TURN NExT-It is remarka-
BILE fact, that within the past twenty years
no party has carried the Presidential cleo
ton twice in succession.
In 1886 the demo ;rats elected Mr.. Van
Buren, over General Harrison. In 1910 they
re-nominated Mr.. Van Buren,, then their
most prominent statesman, and were beaten.
In 1914, they abandoned the policy of Sc
lecting statesmen, nominated a new and un-
known man named Polk, and elected him. In
l84S they had grown tired of taking new
men, fell back upon their statesmen, nomi-
mated Cass, and were beaten. In 1852 they
were thrown overheard, the new man policy
was again tried; Pierce was nominated, and
elected. In 1856 they have again grown
tired of new men, and have fallen back upon
their leading statesmen, and as they have
been beaten every time they have tried this
since 1886, they are again destined to de-
feat. Parties are too evenly balanced in
this country to permit two successive presi-
dental triumphs of the same party Mr.
Buchanan, like Van Buren and Cass, is in
the line Of sale precedents safe, that is, fol

not add that he had put four rifles in it a
few moments before. - 2ss,.. e,
Let me tell one instance of girlish shrewd-
ness and courage. The men who came be-
hind Shannon and his guard, went up to Mr..
Walkers poney, and were about to carry
him off. A little girl ran out and put her
arms around the poney's neck, and declared
it was her poney, and they should not have
it. They tried to pull her off, but she held
fast, and wept and screamed until they de-
sisted. She said she knew if they learned
it was Mr.. Walkers they would steal it !;
she said it was hers, to keep it for
her friend. Her name is Dorothy Tooms
she is about ten years old.

OAK GROVE, June l3, 1855.


! MEssRs. EDITORS About six years ag'
DR.. Thomas S. Williamson, while living a
kaposia, took little Dakota Indian girl in
to his family three years old, whom they
named Susan. He kept, cared for, and in
structed her in his family till the time of mis-
removal 20 Yellow Medicine, when, for the
benefit of the child she was committed
to the care of Hon. j. S. Norris, where
size remained a member of his family till
June, 1855.
Since that time Susan been living with Mr.
NJ. S. Whalon, of Hennepin county, whose
residence is on tie Minnesota river, about
one mile below Bloomington ferry.
Susan had entirely lost the little knowl-
edge Of her native language which she had
acquired before she was taken from her
mother, and had become so changed that
there was nothing to betray her origin ex-
cept her strong marked features. She was,
in fact, the adopted daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Whallon, under whose care she was
making good progress in the knowledge of
such things as would prepare her for useful
ness, respecsability and happiness here and
hereafter.
They thought they could see in her evil
dence that she had arrived at the experiment
tai knowledge of the Divine Redeemer
Yesterday afternoon (12th instant, while
Mrs. Whallon, Mrs. Ames, and three little
children, one of whom was Suss n, were sit
ting in the house, several Chippewa Indians
entered the room where they were, and TAX
ing little Susan violently threw her out at
the door, killed and and scalped her and fed
before the men who were near by in the field
could reach the place.
At this hour these fends in human shape
are doubtless exulting over their innocent
victim, and boasting of their bracery in the
horrid scalp-dance.
Now shall these coyardly murderers be
suffered with iinpunity thus to enter our
dwellings and tear the children from the arms
of their mothers or guardians and butcher
them before their eyes +? IF this crime is
suffered to pass, and these ruthless murder
ers go unwhipped of justice, the time is not
distant when every Indian and halfbreed
child in the territory will become prey to
the Indian scalping-knife. Will not those
who have the authority and power to do it
apprchend and bring offenders to justice !?
Can they do less? We trust they will do
it, and to them we look for the protection of
our children.
Yours in behalf Of the injured.
