LATER FROM KANzAs.-A letter to the n.
Y. Tribune, from its Kanzas correspondent.
says
'sThere has been neither law nor justice
during several weeks past for Northern men
IN hanzas except in few western districts,
remote from Missouri, and in one or two we'll
armed Southern settlements. The invaders
who sacked Lawrence, were afraid to march
westward of Topeka, because they expected
that the Free State men would rally where
the New Haven emigrants have settled. They
thought that Henry Ward Beecher's rifles
there would Killem. These mWch:a6uSed cler-
zeal rifles hare already saoed thousands of dol
tGTS acorth Of property, aud perhaps many Hces
also.
Upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars worth OF property has been plundered
or destroyed in the city Of Lawrence alone.
BORDER RUFFIAN OUTRAGEs.-The special
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune in Kan
zas, vouches for the following:
A few days previous to the sacking CT Law
renee, two young ladies were violated by
gang Of claw and order" rufians, on claim
five miles northwest of the city. They lived
on the claim with their mother. Their father
Aldu lOCShtAN SUn6 East Ult DuSlHSsbs Au0y
saw four orsfive men seize two of their horses
in the field, and lead them off. They went
down, and protested against the act The
rufians seized them, carried them down to the
woods, and consummated an outrage upon
their persons. There is day OF retribution
coming for all this--and that speedily.
The same writer says:
"Two hundred horses, at least, have been
stolen from the Free State men, within twen-
ty miles of Lawrence, since Mr.. Marshal Dom
Alison issued his illegal proclamation. party
of the Free State men have organized and left
Lawrence, and swear that they will not return
to the city until these horses, or an equal
number. are again in possession of their own
ers. They say they will seize the horse of
every man within twenty miles of Lawrence,
who is known to have given aid and comfort
to the thieves. As soon the number is
made up, they will Immediately disband.'
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
"We make the following extract from let
ter in our possession, written by gentleman
now travelling in Kanzas. 1t is dated May %:
stopped last night in the neighborhood
where the lately murdered Jones resided. He
was young man of about twenty years of
age. A band of fifteen pirates met him at
Blanton's bridge, and threatened to shoot him.
He drew a pistol, and said IF you shoot
me, will shoot one of you: fire upon me, if
you dare They told him if he would give
up his pistol, they would let hiu go home in
peace. He cid so, and started for home, when
they shot him in the back. He turned, and
said 'You are set of base towards, but
am not afraid to die He died in few hours.
The same party met three Free State men
armed, and without saying a word, shot at
them, and killed another young man named
Stuart. His two comrades returned the fire
of the cowardly assassins, while on their re-
treat, and wounded one Of them.

Ossawattamie affair, from an eye witness =

overtaken by guerilla pro-slaveIy band of
seven men. They asked him where he was
