Surrender of Pro.sIarerrites.

PARTICULARS OF LATE BArTLE.-Neao
York, June 10.-The following special dis
patch is confrmatory of previous advices
Laurence, June 5.-An open field battle
took place at Palmyra, on the afternoon of
Monday, June ID. 1t lasted nearly three
hours. The parties were nearly equal. The
pro- slavery men were rowing band, under
Capt II. G. Pate, correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican. Five of the pro. slavery
men surrendered, with twenty five horses and
mules, arms and ammunition, two drums,
and large quantity of articles stolen at the
sacking of Lawrence. The U. S. troops knew
of the battle, but did not interfere. The Free
State settlers clustered to Palmyra, and one
hundred got there after the battle was over.
The troops went down the next day to dis
perse the Free State men, and release the
prisoners. Another attack was made on
Franklin, where the Missourians had assem-
bled in force, with cannon and ammunition.
Only one of their companies got there, and
they were short about fifteen men. After
twenty minutes the small party retreated-no
particulars.
Civil war exists here.
The troops are here in force, but have done
nothing yet but help Gov. Shannon to get
Sharpe's rifles.
Judge Lecompte has faled to go to Le-
compton to examine the prisoners on their
plea for BAIL"

FURTHER TROUBLE IN kANZAs.-AAother
hsvasioR Apprehended.- Chicago, June o.
The latest Kanzas dates confirm the intelli-
gence of fresh outbreak of hostilites. Capt.
Pattis's company having been overpowered by
force of Free State men, General Whitfield
left Westport on the night of the ID, at the
head of one hundred men, in pursuit. They
were supposed to be about forty miles from
Westport, on the Santa Fe road. Col. Sum-
ner also left for the scene of the disturbance,
with eight companies of dragons.
The Chicago Tribune has a letter dated at
Lawrence, May 81, which states that the Free
State settlers are in imminent peril that
forces from Missouri are again invading the
Territory, and the farmers have been obliged
to organize companies to guard their property
against bands of marauders.
50. Louis, June 9.-The account taken from
an extra of the Kaazas City Enterprise, (pro-
slavery and telegraphed from here, that nine
abolitionists, and three pro slavery men were
killed i'll an encounter between band one
hundred and fifty abolitionists, and Capt. Pat
tis's company proves to be an exaggeraton.
Capts. PATHS and MCGEE, reported dead, are
alive, and but two or three persons were killed
in all. Capt, Pattis's company were captured,
the Free State party being greatly superior i'll
numbers. Gen. Whitfield, with one hundred
men, has gone to their rescue.

TH1aTY-FoURrH CONGRESS.


SHNATg.-In the Senate Mr.. Trumbull in
troduced his promised bill for restoring order
ana peace in Kanzas, by bringing it under the
Territorial government of Nebraska.
MIR. Trumbull explained that the only OBJ
! Ject OF the bill was to extend the territorial
government of Nebraska over Kanzas, and
! abolish the present government of the latter
territory. and the laws made by their legisla-
ture. He thought this proposition worthy of
some consideration, as state of things now
exists in Kanzas, which all good men must
deplore. He did not care about having the
bill referred, as that would withdraw it from
the consideration of the Senate.
Mr.. Douglas hoped the bill would be refer
red to the Committee on Territories, who
would report on it at an early day. 1t in
VOWED some grave questions, but he was glad
to see the opponents of the Nebraska bill be-
ginning to acknowledge the principle of that
measure. The laws of Nebraska are made by
the people of Nebraska, and the la VS. Of Kan
zas by the people OF Kanzas, but the PROPOSE
ton now is to abolish the laws made by the
people OF hanzas for their own government,
and place them under the laws of Nebraska,
which they had no voice in making.
MIR. Trumbull said that so far from ac-.
knowledging the principle of the Nebraska
bill, he did not believe there was any princi-
pie in 1t. 1t was understood one way at the
North and another way at the South. He
would admit that this bill to re annex Kanzas
to Nebraska was not such measure as he
should prefer. He regarded the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise as the cause of all the
difficulty, and would be glad to restore things
TO then former position. This was a tempo
rary eXpedient, not intended to carry out his
own wishes fully. He meant to occupy con-
sentative ground upon this question, and was
willing to yield something, for he was sorry
to see strife in Kanzas, and anxious that
some measure should be Immediately adopted
TO restore peace in that unhappy territory.
After some further debate between Trum-
bull and Douglas, concerning the merits of
the Nebraska bill, Mr.. Trumbulrs bill was
re'erred to the Committee on Territories.
Mr.. Foot addressed the Senate on the bill
amendatory of the act to promote the eff
cheney OF the navy. 1t was, lie said, indis-
putable that errors had been committed. and
injustice inflicted on the officers, and he
should support such measures as would most
etfectually accomplish correction.
HoUsE-A reference TO the journal of Sat.
urday showed that Edwards of New York,
had given notice of motion to remove the
seat OF government from Washington to a
point near Cincinnati.
Mr.. Jones of Tennessee, moved to strike it
out, as no quorum being present that day the
motion was not in order.
Only 02 members voted. Noquorum. Ad-
journed.

MATERIAL AID FOR KANzAs. The Detroit
Aavertiser of Saturday, says that a gentleman
of that city set out the day previous with
subscription list for 60 material aid " for Kan
zas, and in less than two hours had 1925, 900
subscribed. z. Chandler and E. b. Ward
headed the list with $4,000 each. Detroit
has reason to be proud of such citizens.
A letter dated Princeton, Illinois, June 5,
says:
" We are raising large amounts of money,
horses, cattle, wagons, and other articles to
send to Kanzas to sustain and encourage the
free State settlers there. Almost every coun.
ty in Northern Illinois has had, or will have
its meeting for this purpose, and the spirit
and liberality manifested, shows how deeply
the people are excited and aroused. Many
people are going to Kanzas from this vicinity
to try their fortunes as settlers. They will go
in companies across Iowa, prepared to defend
themselves. There is no disposition here to
give the matter up as long as there is any
hope of making free State there

The latest accounts from Kanzas represent that
a battle has come off, iu which the pro SLAVERY
men surrendered. See details in another col
umn.
Mr.. Buchanan, in speech at Lancaster, Pa,
has heartily endorsed the Cincinnati platform
At the Buchanan ratification meeting inWash-
ington, last Saturday evening, Senator Douglas
said, abiding to the fact that the Cincinnati
platform endorsed the Nebraska BILL border ruff
anism, &c.: "There were no more any Anti
Nebraska Democrats now, than there were white
blackbirds to be found" Very true Border ruf'
fanism is now the controlling element Of the par
ty, beyond peradventure.
Sumner Indignation meeting was heid IN Els
sex. on Monday evening, at which Hon. Daniel
Choate. elder brother of Rufus Choate, presided.
The Hon. Robert c. Winthrop wrote letter,
declining the invitation to be present at the Kan
zas Aid Meeting in Faneuil Hall, on Wednesday
evening last The tone of Mr.. Winthrop's let
ter, we regret to notice, is in wide contrast with
the generous sentiments expressed in the noble
letter of Ex-Governor Lincoln, which we publish
to-day.

When at the opening of the Cincinnati
Convention OH the last day the anti Buchanan
force so unexpectedly broke-for late the
night before arrangements had seemingly been
completed which secured his DEBATE ell.
Whitney, j. f. Butler, b. +. Hallett, and
three others Of the Massachusetts delegation,
who had previosuly voted for Gen. Pierce,
went over TO Buchanan, making his vote 10
instead of Z. The remaining six delegates
refused utterly to support him, and gave their
votes to Mr.. Douglas, until he was also With
drawn. These six were Col. Greene and Col
lector Peaslee OF Boston, Mr.. Loring, the
Salem postmaster, Mr.. Henshaw, the nephew
OF President Pierce, Mr. Phinney, the Collec-
tor ut Barnstable, and Mr.. Thompson, his col.
league. These were for resisting Buchanan's
nomination to the "bitter end !" and though
they submitted finally with an outward grace,

"Men become comparatively insignificant, ex-

that truth by bitter experience, during the last
two years, during which time he has assiduously
labored as the insignificant tool of Atchison,
Douglas, Stringfellow. & Co., in their efforts to
spread slavery over Kanzas, and got as his re.
ward, the poor consideration of a general kick
out of the Cincinnati Convention. The South
