Latest News from Lawrence.

LEAvENwoR1H, Midnight, May %.
Another messenger has arrived.
He started shortly after Mr.. Bassett left.
He confirms the news already narrated. F.
When the militia left Lawrence-they
left about sunset-Sheriff Jones informed
them that he would need them again to-
morrow.
Every house in Lawrence, except the
the Cincinnati: Hotel, was broken open and
robbed.
Nearly every man that left Lawrence was
loaded down with pllfered goods.
Col. Buford-a0iahout his Bible, but a0i,h a
Sharpe's riae-made himself quite conspi-
cuous during the day.
DR.. Stringfellow was very active all day
in inciting the Law and Order men.
The legally organized militia carried ban
ners with various devices. One-hanging
down as if ashamed to be seen in such COM
pany-was the Flag of odr Union.
When Lawrence was in the hands Of the
s'legally organized militia,'' Gov. Shannon
was as per previous arrangement, absent at
Lecompton.
It is rumored that messenger has lust
arrived with dispatch from Gov Shannon
to Col. Sumner, calling out United States
troops to suppress the insurrection. He
fears that the Northern men may rally and
a7enge the outrages to which they have So
long been subjected. r.

Progress Of BORDER Ruffianism-Its K Bold Justi-
fication By the St. Paul Pioneer and Demo
crat. --
The Pioneer and Democrat of Saturday
boldly defends the Missouri Border Rnfians,.
under Marshal Donaldson and Sheriff Jones,
in their late outrages on the Free State set
tiers of Lawrence, including the burningand
sacking of that city. 1t is pretended by the
irresponsible writer's for the Pioneer (the
responsible editor is not at home) that tho
news which other st. Paul papers have pub
lished concerning these outrages is not true;
and that even if true, we should be arraigned
as " TRAITORS" alongside of Reeder, Lane,
Robinson, &c., for daring to reflect the SEN
timents of the people of the Free North upon
the dastardly outrages of a band of cut
throats that would have disgraced any Tory
camp in South Carolina in the days of Ma
rion and Sumpter.. M t
If consummate ignorance, blind prejudice
and souls and bodies humbled under the lash
of the beastly and sensual slave-drivers of
the South, did not control the policy of the
Pioneer, those who scribble for its editorial
columns might speedily learn, by intercourse
merely with the people of st. Paul, that no
editor here has yet spoken up to the strong
feelings and sentiments Of the great mass Of
the community upon this exciting subject.
| We assure our neighbors that the war is
| lust about commencing, and that we shall
not be deferred or frightened from our duty
by the old humbug cry of Garrison Abo-
litionisw," -.

La,er StiIiI

The Chicago papers of the Goth have news
from Kansas up to Saturday evening, the
24th:
Shannon, now that the Missouri mob had
done their work, sacked Lawrence, burned
the Free State Hotel, Gov. Robinson's house
and two Printing Offices, had called out the
United States troops under Col. Sumner, for
fear that the Free State men, now that their
case is clear and the justice of their cause
vindlcated, would gather at Topeka and
drive the invaders home at the point of the
hayOnet. He stationed 100 men at Law
renee, 100 at Leavenworth and 100 at Le-
comrton-thc latter as body guard to
protect himself
1t is thought that as long as this is kept
in the field, there will be but few more out
RACES on the settlers. The Missourians be-
ginning to return home, plundering as they
went.
Gov. Robinson was about to be taken up
to Lecompton, where it is said he will at
once be tried ON charge of high treason.

Fire-SaW-Miil Burned.

Another serious disaster has occurred to
st. Paul by fire. The steam saw-mll be-
longing to Mr. w. l.. Ames and A. Hoyt
situated in the lower part of the city, was
discovered in flames about two o'clock yes
terIay IN Drnins. All Efforts to save the mill,
or any part thereof, were of course fruitless,
AMI the site yesterday presented nothing but
mass Of noIlderng ruins.
The engine, boilers and some other por-
tions of the machinery are not bally injured,
AMI will be saved in a con lition to render
them useful hereafter. Tae actual loss to
the proprietors is not yet fully ascertained 4;
the loss to the public, however, in stopping
so efficient mill at this busy time OF build
ingis vry great.
There is no accounting for the cause of the
conflasration, as all the fires were extin-
guished the previous evening at six O'Clock.
We understand the mill will be rebuilt as
speedily as possible.

Col. Fremont ON KANsAs.-The RepuB-
lican Club of the 18th Ward in New York,
having passed resolution, at a late meeting,
that some manifestation of their high ap-,
probation of the past services of Cob. Ere

stand which he has taken in behalf of free.

selected as committee, the following per-
sons Col. Pinckney, s. NJ. Smith, and j..
G. Rice, to wait ucon Mr.. Fremont, and to
address him in such words as would best
comply with the wishes of those whom they
were chosen to represent.
The Committee waited upon Colonel Ere

an appropriate address, to which he replied
substantially 1
That he was totally unprepared for such

regard, for which he was profoundly CRATE
full. He presumed that the labors, which
they distinguished with such strong terms

lion with California at time when events
gave to the conquest and annexation of
that state sudden prominence throughout,
the world.
In regard to the service they were good
enough to say he had rendered to Kansas

remarked that he had had the double motive
Of warm interest in friend, and thorough
and cordial sympathy with the cause in
which that friend was engaged-both of
which he said he would always be glad to
avail himself of any suitable opportunity to-
express.
Col Fremont added that he was naturally
attached to the country, in travelling over
which large portion of the best and most
pleasant years of his life were spent, and ma
turally, too, was deeply interested in seeing
it thrown open to the prosperity which de-
mands free labor for its full Development.
He added:
Z" In this respect, what you have just said
is only the expression of my own feelings.
am happy to see the young men of the coun'
try-men like yourselves-engaged in this
cause. 1t needs their energy and enthusiasm
to carry it successfully through" A
He concluded by again expressing his
high sense of the honor the Committee had
paid him by their visit, and he begged them
to accept his cordial thanks.

WASHINGTON, May 27.

Messrs. Slidell and Douglas severally de-
MED the statement concerning them in Mr..
Summers statement, and wished to prevent
false impressions in the country. Both dis
claimed any idea whatever about the con-
templated assault. The latter said he did
not know Sumner was about the Copitol at
the time.
Mr.. Toombs denied that he was near
Brooks at the time, but he told Brooks he
approved of what he did.
Mr.. Butler said had he been present he
would have assumed all the responsibility
taken by his gallant relative. Not single
word which had been quoted by Sumner
in application to him was relative to any
thing he said on the House question.
Mr.. Wade knew nothing of the assault
but his feelings were aroused when a mar

THE FULToN CRY RoUrE.--Shippers and
business men in this upper country should
understand the fact, that the shortest Rail-
road route across from Chicago to the Mis-
sissippi River, is by way of the Chicago,
Fulton and Iowa line, which strikes the
Mississippi at Fulton City. This line O.
road is less in length by fifty miles than the
route by way of Dunleith and Galena, and
the price of transportation from Fulton
City to St. Paul is no more than from
Galena hithcr. The Dubuque packets now
run regularly to Fulton, and all the transient
boats stop at that point for Minnesota
freight. The card of Snyder & Co., in our
advertising columns, who are extensive
Commission Merchants at Fulton, is worthy
the attention of all who are transaeting mer-
camille business.
