DIED.

In Upper Sandusky, on the 3lst ult., Mrs.
OLIVE S. wife of Dr. Orrin Ferris, and daugh-
ter of the late Dr. Stephen Fowler, in the 37th
year of her age.
The health of Mrs. Ferris had been poor for
some time, but she had so far recovered from
recent severe illness as to be able, the day be-
fore her death, to drive to brothers some ten
miles distant, and back again without suffer
ing apparent injury. On the morning of the
day she died, she superintended her house
hold affairs. as was her custom when in health,
ate her breakfast as usual, and walked to the
house of a sister, who was near neighbor, and
home again, without exciting any suspicion in
the minds of her family and friends that the
hour of her dissolution was so near at hand
But near the middle of the day she was attack
ed with a spasmodic affection of the heart, to
which she had been subject, and before three
o'clock her immortal spirit had taken it's eter-
nal flight, and Goodness had wrapped her
suffering clay" The intelligence of her sud-
den demise spread rapidly over the town and
produced shock upon the minds of the peo-
pie generally, such as is seldom experienced in
inhabitants of our young town, and was almost
universally known and beloved Thus we are
again reminded of the uncertainty of life
Truly,
"The spiders most attenuated thread
| Is cords cable--to mans tender tie.
1t breaks at every breeze"
Mrs. Ferris was a lady of much moral worth,
and by her death, not only her family, and
neighbors, but the entire community sustain a
loss which will long be felt and deplored-
Imbued with spirit of active benevolencs and
possessed of indomitable energy, she was ever
prompt and efficient in ministering to the
wants of the sick and afflicted Her social
qualities were attractive, and the circle of her
friends was, consequently, large and confding,
She was possessed of sound and discrimina-
ting mind, and her advice--always ingenious
| ly imparted--was often sought by those who
best knew her ability in counsel It may we'll
appear mysterious that one, SO well calculated
for usefulness, should be thus suddenly cut of
in the prime Of life. But
''Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath
/ AND stars to set--but all
Ihou'hast all seasons for thine own, oh DEATH y
Her remains, followed by large concourse
OF weeping relatives and friends, were taken tc
Little Sandusky and Inferred on the I'd inst

That portion of the Territorial laws
which they (the Republicans who stand
for the proviso) denounce. and of which
they seek to prevent the enforcement,
whether enacted by competent or incom-
petent authority are disgrace to the coun-

agreater invasion of public liberty than

TO the New York Times, says:
CH1cAGo. Aug. 80, 1856

TO the New York Times, says:
CHICAGO, Aug, 80, 1856.
Mrs. DR.. Cutter has just arrived from
Kansas with the latest news. She left
Lawrence on the morning of Saturday,
the esd inst, and came to Kansas City
by stage, and there took the steamboat
for St. Louis. Mrs. Cutter undertook the
venture of Drawing the perils and insults
Of Border Ruffianism, simply because no
Free State man is allowed to pass. She
undertook to come by way of Leaven-
worth, but was met and dissuaded on the
road by United States Dragon, who
told her it was not safe-he had just pass
ed a mans body not yet cold. So she
resolved 10 face the difficulties of the
middle passage.
That she was obliged to use stratagem
to get through. may well be supposed
subjected. as she was, to the impudent in
QUESTION of the rufians at Westport and
Kansas City. Precisely aUhat her woman's
wit devised to throw dust in their eyes
Il is not well 10 state it is enough that
it succeeded. It was, beforehand, reck-
oned that Saturday would be a good day
for tie enterprise, as the loyal borderers
are then more generally and hopelessly
drunk than usual.
So great was the terror inspired by the
scenes she Witnessed, that it was not un-
til she reached Chicago that she really
felt free to speak without restraint.
Mrs. Gutter goes East with letters CIV
ing a statement of facts as they now ex-
ist She is lady of great intelligence
and prepossessing manners, and | suggest
that il her sisters in Massachusetts, and
the East generally, will make an effort to
bring her into communication with them
selves, they will see way in which they
can do great and lasting service in the
cause of Kansas and their suffering
friends.
There is no doubt that fearful crisis
now threatens the devoted freemen OF
Kansas. The borderers of Missouri,
knowing well how weak their party is in
Kansas, are making the most gigantic eff
forts in their behalf. Men are mastering
by neutrality-suspicious., powder, can
non, are all being concentrated for their
use. Twelve cannon are reported to
have gone forward. While one force is
to be moved up the Kansas Valley, di-
rectly against Lawrence, another is to be
led in by Gen. Richardson from The north,
as well to prevent anticipated escape as to
be brought down upon the Free State
men from that quarter. Thus it will be
seen that the settlers are completely
hemmed in, and in a prolonged struggle,
must succumb to superior force unless re-
inforced from the North. Shall that aid
be given.

and others ia that neighborhood, moved to
Mississippi, in pursuit of her husband who
had abandoned her-that after her re-
moyal, she became partially derenged, and
told some wild stories about those OF the
neighbors who had been her best friends;
and, amongst other things, said that Tate
and Gordon, who then lived with Tate, had
committed murders at Tates house. These
stories reached the ears of her old neigh
bors in Alabama, but we're treated as the
deluslons of deranged woman. But it
seems that Mr.. Tate's enemies, having
failed in the effort to have him assassina-
ted, have been endeavoring to take his life
according to lar, by using this old woman
as a witness, and endeayoring to connect
the subjects of her delusions with two men
who disappeared many years ago, but who
were unknown to Tate or Gordon.
We are informed that the prosecutor,
BINGHAM, after procuring the erparte depo-
sition of this old woman, in which she I'M
plicated Gordon, went last summer to Can
non County in this State, and Swore out a
warrant of arrest for Gordon, who is a
poor but honest man, and good citizen,
and used every means to prevail upon him
to make such admissions as would corrobo-
rate the story of the old woman; telling
him that he did not wish to harm him, that
he wanted to make a States witness of
him, and instructed the Sheriff to tell him
that Mrs. Tate had left her husband and
that unless he (Gordon) would confess
and become witness for the State, that
Mrs. Tate would do so, and convict Cor
don. There is scarcely any punishment too
severe for such villainy. Bingham and his
accomplice deserve to be driven from the
community which they disgrace by their
presence.
