An express from Lecomton has Just ar
rived, bringing intelligence Of the attack on
Franklin by Lanes men, the sacking of the
town, robbery Of the mail and destruction
Of the Post Office. Ht.ffET Tf
The attack was made on the town late in
the evening Of Tuesday, by upwards of a
hundred and fifty men. They attacked Judge
Fain, and shot him in the shoulder.
They next ottcked the Post office, and af-
ter robbing il Of its entire contents and com
ple,ely cutting and setting fire TO the house,
treated in the most dastardly manner the
Postmaster and his family-Mr. Grains en-.
ergies as justice Of the peace being the cause
Of the unheard atrocities perpetiated upon
him. They broke into their houses, which,
after ransacking, they condemned TO the
flames, but, after parley, agreed to spare
them, if they (the citizens) would agree to
leave the Territory in "a hours, never 10
return. All the arms, private and public,
muskets and cannon were taken by them.
An attack upon Lscompton lis hourly ex-
pected, ..
Now that the issue, bloody though it may
be, is forced upon us, let US be up and do
ing. Let no quarter be given, but war to
the determination of the miscreants be the
motto.

be cleansed Of these traitorous lepers! Let
not one traitor remain to "Give aid TO the
enemy!!" Let no quarter be given!!

surrounded by 1856 abolitionists, who swear

wells men are in log building, and have
so far held out manfully. They managed
to get a woman to carry message to Gov.
Shannon, asking for aid. Gov. Shannon
Immediately called upon the U. S. forces,
who refused 10 act.
The whole country is over-run by Lanes
marauders. The express rider met As of
Walkers men drilling at his house. Six of
Lane'sspies were captured at Lecompton, who
