Kansas Exaggerations,

by the Columbia Statesman, dated Au.
gust Goth, we have news from Kansas Ter.
ritory, from which we learn that the late
wars and rumors of wars heretofore publish
ed, were all extravagantly colored, and in
many instances were most violent misrepre-
sentations of the truth. The following con-
firms the accounts which have appeared in
our paper:
For instance, says the Statesman, Lecomp-
ton has not been taken, nor even attacked /:
the State prisoners, Robinson, Brown, and
others, have not been rescued, but are all
in safe custody; the United States troops
have not been whipped; on the contrary,
they have not even been in fight; instead
of most of Colonel Treadwell's men having
fallen, not one of them was even taken pris-
oner-all of them escaping without injury
to their persons. -
Not single pro-slavery man WAS either
killed or taken prisoner at Franklin. Col.
Titus was not killed; bis wounds, though
serious, are not mortal, and he is in fair
way to recover. He and 10 Of his men
were taken prisoners, but have since been
exchanged for number of prisoners held
BY tho pro-slavery party. Is .,.n

is in ashes. But one house in it had been
