The Mails.

For the last few years the mails from
New York and the east, for this place,
have reached US through the Cleveland
Distributing office, by the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Railroad 10 Ravenna, and
from there by Stage, daily. The con-
tract under which the mail was thus car
ried, expired on Monday the Both ofJune.
The new contract which went into opera
ton on yesterday the Isl inst, stipllaies
that the mail is TO be carried from War
rem to Ravenna and back three times u
week, and as no arrangement has yet
been made with The G. & NJ. Rail Road,
we shall have a tri-weekly mail from
Cleveland: This will be a beautiful state
Of things, and should be attended to i'm
mediaiely. 1t is the du'y of those who
have the postal arrangements in charge
in this, and the towns along the line of
The c. s. NJ. Railroad, to forward peti
lions Immediately, TO the Post Master
General, to have their offices supplied by
the Railroad. We regret that our Post
Master, Mr. KIBBEE, is still confined to
the house by illness, and have no doubt
but that had he been in health, this con-
tingency would have been provided for.
The mail facilities of Trumbull County
are by no means what they should be,
mar are they by any means as good as the
amount which it pays into the Treasury
of the Post office Department deserves.
1t is a notorious fact that letters from this
place, can be sent 10, and answers receiv-
ed from New York and Philadelphia, in
less time than 70 Hartford, Fowler, Gus
tavus, Mespotamia, within the county; or
even L~orIs:own, which is only five miles
distant.
There is no good reason for this, and
those interested should see to it that addi-
tional routes are established, and also ad-
diIional servics on those already in ope-
ration.

Give 'em Leslie"

At an imprOmptu gathering of Ere
monters up town the other evening, an
enthusiastic advocate Of the Rocky
Mountain candidate put it to the crowd,
whether it were not better to send a man
to the White House who had completed
his humanities by marrying an accom-
plished woman, than to send there such
a rusty old bachelor as Buchanan, whose
Domestic inequalities could ouly be
seasoned with the doubtful graces of
some hired house-keeper? At this in
terrogatory, a gentleman present, who
remembered the m ,iden name of Mrs.
Fremont, (Jessie Benton,) shouted
'.WE'LL GIVE EN- JESSIE !" This felic-
itous double entendre only needs to be
published TO become the watchword of
the campaign /; and the Mirror takes the
liberty of adding, that if the gallan.ry of
the country demand a Queen at the
head of the nation, the lovely lady
of the Republican nominee would com
mand the universal sufilages of the peo-
pie. She is a woman As eminently fitted
to adorn the While House as she has
proved herself worthy 10 be a hero's
bride. This splendid compliment paid
by Burke to that Inflated Queen of
France, whom he first saw as the Dau-
phineSs at Versailles will apply to Mrs.
Fremont. Beautiful, graceful. intellec-
tual and enthusiastic, she will make
more proselytes to the Rocky Mountain
platform in fifteen minutes than fifty
stump orators a win over in a month.

Correspondence of Missouri Democrat


KANSAS, June II, 1876.
A Mr.. Moore, of Palmyra was in
town last evening. and reports that eight
bod cs of murdered men had been found
near the Santa Fe road, betwe. n Pal
myra and Westport, Mo. One of them
was identified as the body of Mr.. Can
trail, who was taken prisoner last Friday
evening. after being ordered TO disband
by Col. Sumner. Saturday morning
last, the unfortunate prisoner was taken
out 10 a wood not far from the rad. and
brutality murdered by two South Caro-
lInians. Mr.. c. was formerly a citizen
of Missouri. and emigrated to Kansas
sometime since from independence in
that State. He was a quiet, unoffending
Free State man. His murderers have
been commissioned by Governor Shan
non a the militia of the territory. furn
ished with United States muskeis by tie
general government, and Congress Is TX
pected to make an appropriation to dc
fray the expenses of employing these
men TO murder, drive away and rob ac-
tual settlers. The other seven bodies
had moi been identified when my infor-
mant left, but the supposilion is they
were travellers, and, after being shot,
they were robbed, and left upon the
prairie.

Abstract of a Letter from Kansas City,
Missouri.


We are in the receipt Of a letter from
Kansas City, Missouri, with several
dates, the last of which is the 98th of
May. and not having room for the letter,
we make this abstract Of a part of its
contents. The letter is written by a
former resident of this county, and pre-
senis a horrible state of things. He was
at that city % days, and has had ample
opportunity for observation, and has seen
all the men who have arrived from the
South, and describes their character and
profession. There has been about 1000
men from the South, mostly from North
and South Carolina, and Alabama; with
a few from Mississippi, Virginia. Ken.
lucky and other Southern States. They
are all veil armed with rifles, mus.
kets and Colts revolvers, some carrying
three. They are mostly a drunken,
worthless, profane set of men, and he
says that Col. Bufford's men consisting
of 800, contained among the entire
company only about 90 sober men,
They all swear, rant. and threaten, talk
about shooting the Yankees as freely as
they would about shooting the wild Buff
falo. The Missourians also are of the
same cast, and are all properly named
Rufians. They swear they will kill, or
drive off the Yankees before October
next. He say the men as they passed
up 10 Lawrence before its destruction,
and some of them after their return
They destroyed the Free State Hotel,
worth, as they say, about S15, Zoo. which
was furnished al a cost of about SO, 600,
all of which was destroyed but a few
articles taken out of the lower rooms
They also destroyed the two printing
presses, and burned Gov. Robinsons'
house, carried off all the Shapes Rifles
they could find, and a cannon , stole all
the properly they could find, ION sting
of store goods, household property,
horses, cattle, mules, cows, DC, &c.
Ore Ct the robbers showed him an old
family Bible which he had taken from
a house in Lawrence.
He says that it is not safe for a man to
proclaim himself a Flee State man at
Kansas city, and if the Rufians had
found him writing his letter, death would
have been certain. The Kansas City
Hotel, a fine structure is owned by a
Northern company. and is doing a bust
ness worth 500 per day, but he says
they threaten to tear it down, and the
keeper thereof will have to give up or be
hanged. 1t is the only hotel in the
place Of any consequence.
He gives a description of the arrest of
Gov. Robinson, aud hisremovalfro Lex
ington to LeavenwOrlh. His removal &C.
cupied the Marshal 10 days. which could
have been done in "a hours under ordi
nary circumstances. AT one time 500
armed men were in ambush wal ing for
the Marshal, but he had to resort to
strategem TO get Robinson through safe.
He says that Gov. Sham on has no
more authority or power than IN old wo-
man. He further says that unless the
Northern States wake up and send in
speedily thousands of emigrants that
Kansas will be a Slave State. He ad-
vises that they should go in large par
ties, and land at Leayenworth - that
they should charter a boat at St. Louis,
or go through Iowa.
