Such is the statement Of this man, which agrees
entirely with the statement made by Mr. Golden
formerly Of Pennsylvania who was shot 80 badly
in the mouth. They are both in the hospital, and
though their wounds are not dangerous, they re-

but that many cases of suffering, nearly as bad as
The horrible one just recorded, have never been
made knOsD to the public, nor have any doubt
whatever that many have perished in Kansas under
circumstances of a character like those described.
How scared must be the heart who can redd such
Outrages and say "All is quiet and peaceful IN
Kansas" and think no more Of it
Gov Geary has been a week in the Territory,
and bis acts thus far have been very far from those
which would indicate partizsn. He has been
impartial He has disbanded nearly three thousand
INVADERS who had this city almost in their clutches,
snd ne has arrested about hundred Free-State
men (those Of Col Harvey mentioned in my last
utter. These will probably be released and dis
handed after the MssOurians are known to be out
az tbe Territory. Once released, these Free-State
men will return TO their homes and claims which
they would never haze been called upOr to protect

Shannon. Woodson and the other sppOintees Of
Pierce. Reserying comments, which might do
injustice to either party, it is due to Gov. Geary to
say, that he has shown promptness of action in
these matters which justifes us in assuming, that
x.bateyer he conceyes to be right, will be "put
throuph"a la Jackson. Whether he will declare

will only keep the invaders out and stop the burn

do not care how soon they are disarmed; but they
will have TO be well assured Of this before they
will part with their arms. Those who were dis
armed will receive their arms back as soon as they
are released of course. About 100 Free-State

lie declared the Territory in state of nsurrection
and rebellion at time when they wanted it done,
ss a pretext for this last grand raid from Missouri.
am satisfied that had Gov. Geary been here two
weeks sooner no proclamation declaring rebellion
would have been issued. What nonsense to call men
rebels because they choose to defend their homes
from invasion No, / think Gov. Geary VIII not
allow himself to be caught playing at Tom-iool

or at Washington either.
have just learned that this large body of men
who came up to attack this city are part of the
posse summoned in pursuance of the proclamation
nsued to Gen Coffee and others, but az they were
not in the Territory when the Northern Division"
was disbsnded at LecOmptOn, no effort was made
by Acting Governor Woodson TO send to Westport
Missouri to tell them this fact. Hence they came
in, under Gen. Reid, member, believe, OF the
Legislature Of Missouri.
After the visit of Gov. Geary TO their camp, and
sfter they had agreed to 90 home, about 300 of
them marched to LecomptOn in order to take the
ferry across the river Ut that place. While ON
their way, however, they still continued their old
tricks Of demonstrating and murder. They got as
far up the California road as Dir. Henry NJ. Slmp-
sons house. They wanted his horse, but his wife
got her arms around its neck and would not part
with it.
What State are you from ?" asked one of them.
"From Massachusetts"
"Did the Emgrant Aid Society pay your pas.

''Is that your wife that hangs on to the pony
"She is"
They thought it best not to steal the horse, and

They probably spared him on account OF bis beng,

mile or two further, they pressed couple of horses
