Liter FROM KANzAs,
More Fighting and Success of the Free
State Men.

4'ANAAs
The Kanzas correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Lawrence under date of
Sept. LIST, reports that G. W. Hutchinson, and
another gentleman from Lawrence, were taken
prisoners by the Border Ruffians, while on their
return from visit to acting Governor Woodson,
upon business. He also gives other important
news, portion of which we copy below
"Oh Saturday morning, about one hundred
Of the FIee State forces at Lawrence, were
detailed TO go as an escort, to meet about one
hundred emigrants who were on their way to
assist in defending this and the surrounding
towns. They were oyerhauled neqr Lc-
compton by the United States troops, and
questioned as TO their intentions, &c. They
stated then object and were allowed to pass
on Theg took the California road, and met
the train at Topeka. While between Big
Springs and Washington, the escort intercept,
ed and turned back sixteen mounted men,un-
der command Of Judge Elmore. They were
doubtless on their way to Lecompton, to join
Stringlellew's Platte County army, number
ing about six bundled men, inclusive OF Blu
fold's last installment. Yesterday the escort
came back with the emigrants, but as they
had some valuable stores, they struck off the
California road, tor the reason that if Wood
son was so ng to useIthe troopssto dlsarm them,
which was the report, he would have to send
them to Lawrence to do it. 1t seems, from
reliable information that Stringiellows entire
army Of six hundred men was drawn across
the California road in battle line, to intercept
them, and take away their stores-l they
aohtpped them. The whole train reached Law
renee i'll safety.
On Tuesday, August 26, company Of Free
State men, under command of Cart. Shore,
surprised a camp of Mlssourians on South
Middle Creek. There were about fifty Mis-,
sourians, but the attack was made by six Free
State men. The former were under command
of an editor from Fort Scott, Mo They did
not fight long. for ~le rest of Shores company
coming up at the time, rather frightened them
so that they threw down their arms and ran ;
fifteen of them being FIRST made prisoners, and
two If them were killed. The spoils amount
ed to three wagon-loads of stores, ana some
guns.
Thenext day, they, in company with Cal t.
Brown, follow ed up the Missourians as far
down as Sugar Creek. They saw that they
were being chased, and made toward Missouri,
where it is to be hoped they will stay. The
Free State men here recovered about seventy
head Of cattle, gathered, it is supposed,'to
sustain the Border Ruffian army when they
could not steal any mole, and in case they
got driven back. This party of Free State
men got back to Osawattomie OH Friday night,
HE 29th August.
The same correspondent gives some additional
particulars of the battle of Ossawatomle, and
states that the Fee State men lost five men in
tie engagement, and the enemy had twelve killed
and twenty wounded -

his art for livelihood, and when importuned
to allow any distinguished man Of defective

FEARFUL RIDE Down SPUR OF THE
ALLEGHANY MoUNTAINs.-M Miraculous Escape
from Death.-On the morning of the I'd inst.
ct half past two clock, party, twenty one
in number, loft tho White 8 IJlur Springs for
the terminus of the Central Railroad. All
went on pleasantly until about twelve or one
o'clock in the day, and shortly after commenc-
ing the descent of Morris mountain, when it
became alarmingly apparent to the passengers
in the advance coach that the horses were
running away and to increase the terror the
driver was seen rolling in the dust, The
horses, thus left unchecked, went dashing on
in their mad career, the coach Keeling from
side to size under its heavy top load, first up
on the two wheels nearest the precipice, and
then inclining to the opposite direction, until
at last it was thrown violently oyer, mangling,
hruising, and crushing the limbs of the terri
fed passengers, killing one horse, and break
ing leg Of smother. To add to the confusion
of the scene, the horses, which were disabled
continued to drag the wreck over the ground,
while the occupants we're unfortunately
piled up and unable to help themselves. The
Thrilling incidents which followed, are thus
described by passenger:-
Il could neither speak nor move to help
myself, being completely paralyzed with hor-
ror, though l could see distinctly all that was
going on. Two or three persons were on top
of me, and / verify believed that all my COM
panions were killed. AT this critical moment,
the rear coach came dashing down the noun
tain as if in hot pursuit A young man who
occupied deck seat, leaped off without wait
ing for the horses to slacken their speed. and
fastened to our assistance. Jumping upon
the upturned coach, be ex ricated the only
lady passenger, and leaving her under charge,
he returned to the rescue of the others.
With regard to the wounded, l may state
that Judge Fry seemed to be more severely
hurt than any body else, his injuries being
mostly about the head. A boy, whose name
understood to be Gay, from stanton, was
deirious from the effects of a severe confusion
on the left temple. One gentleman said to
be from Norfolk, had both hands and arms
ureadfully mashed, and one eye severely cut.
The lady passenger, who was travelling under
the charge of Judge Fry, had severe cut
over one eye, and her left arm very much
bruised. was hurt internally. All, how
ever, are doing well, land will no doubt re-
cover Richmond Wing, Sept 6.

There have been several capital answers
to Rufus Choates late letter 10 the whigs of

one by the venerable Joseph Quincy; anoth-
er by George w. Curtis, &c. But, good
as they all are, we consider the answer of the
Maine Wings themselves better than all Il e
rest. Nobody can deny its relevancy or its
cogenoy. 1t comes right to the point, and
dispenses with all exuberant rhetoric or SUI

logic in this style of augmentation, which
