reftted tip with Sc ats and other repairs during the

West. Much attention will be given to prepara-
ton for public speaking and writing for the press.
Believing that the spirit Of the teacher will leave
its impress the pupil, advocate liberal sys-
TEN of home education, and ask all who endorse
the sentiment that "Missourans should teach Mis-
souriaRs," tolend US their sympathy and aid.

Kansas News.

In another column will be found startling
news from Kansas. Mr.. A. JOHNSON, ef
Johnson county, X. T., came down yester-
day evening, on the Polar Star. From him
we learn that the news is generally true,
except the paragraph thatrelates to the cap
ture of Robinson, and others and their guard.
This is not SO.
Ataast advices, Lecompton was not Ia
ken, but was besieged by an army of some
800 we'll armed and mounted men. They
were threatening to destroy the place, and
kill all pro-slavery men. No one was per-
mitted 10 leave, or 60 in the town. About
fifty pro-slavery men are fortified in Sheriff
Jones' house, and hope 10 be able to hold
their position until the arrival of assistance,
There are about 200 U. S. troops in LIE.
compton, and they refuse 10 take any part
Col. Tetas and some 10 of his men, are held
prisoners in Lawrence. Col. Titus is NOR
tally wounded.
Col. Treadwell and his company arrived
at Westport, on Monday evening. They
were driven in, their property destroyed
Sc. Almost every house on Washington
Creek has been destroyed. In Ly ken'
county, the pro-slavery settlers have also
been driven off, and their property de-
stroyed.
The abolitionists have in ti.e field from
1900 to 1900 men, we'll mounted and arm.
ed. They have stolen all the horses they
could lay their hands on, and depend fol
a support, mainly, upon what they take b,
force from Southern men.
The south-side of Kansas river is unde
the control Of the abolitionists, and they de
, clare they will drive out or kill every pro
slavery settler in the Territory.
Accounts Of murders are daily received
by men who have been forced to leave thei
homes TO save their own lives.
Mr.. JOHNSON comes accredited from III
Executive Committee of the Law and Orde
Party, to lay the true state of affairs befor
the citizens of Howard, and ask their as
sistance.
Lafayette, johnson, Cass, Jackson, Buc
hanan, Platte, Clay, and Ray counties, hav
already started men and means to the Ter
ritory, and Howard will surely respond
the call, at the meeting to be held in Fay
cite to-day, which Mr.. johnson will al
4 tend. Now, or never! Prompt action
absolutely necessary.
All companies a-e desired TO rendezvou
at New Sante Fe, in Jackson county.

From the London Times, July 90.
Another "Uncle Tom" Speculation i
England.


"Uncle Tom" and his Cabin have not yet
disappeared from the gaze of the London
public. Yesterday afternoon long line of
carriages, drawn up before Stafford house,
the residence of the Duches of Sutherland
declared to the west end world that some
new attraction had brought together several
members Of the higher circles. Mrs. M.
E. Webb, lady of color, daughter of a
Spanish gentlemen and of female slave Of
Virginia, had recently arrived in London,
bringing with her dramatized version Of
Uncle TOMS Cabin, composed by Mrs.
Stowe herself, for the purpose Of a public
reading, and the hall of the splendid man
sion in St. James had been granted to her
by the Duchess, as the site Of the entertain
ment. Placed behind reading desk, Mrs
Webb read in clear voice, and with great
signs Of intelligence, the interesting scenes
that had been prepared for her, and which
comprised the most celebrated dialogues and
incidents in the celebrated novel. Without
exactly acting the different parts she dis.
eliminated them with great deal of nicely
and the dark hue Of her delicately formed
countenance gave characteristic tone Il
the performance. The Earl of Shsftesbur,
and several distinguished adherents of III,
philanthropic party were among her au
dience, which could scarcely be surpassed
in brilliancy. Mrs. Webb has already ap
peared with success in several of the chic
towns of the United States, and from tn,
interest which she excited yesterday, it i
not improbable that she may find larg,
number Of patrons in this country.

Tragedy in Camden County.

A correspondent of the Jefferson Inquirer
writing from Camden county, gives an &C.
count of the death of Mr.. Jno. H. Bishop
"a son of Mr.. Bishop and another per-
son were fighting, when the father ran up
10 the contestants with rock, when Mr.
Russell pulled him back SO violently that he
fell backwards, striking she back part o.
his head against rock, which caused hi:
death in few hours. The writer says, "i
was innscently done, as Bishop and Russell
were warm friends"

United States.
WAsHINGroN. August s.

WAsHINGToN, August 8.
Movements of the highest importance in
reference 10 the interests of the United
States are now on foot in Europe, growing,
in part, out of the assumed designs of Ma
poleon III. upon Spain.
l may state, upon information not ques-
tonable, that the British government have
again urged upon the government of Spain
the expediency Of the Bale and cession Of
Cuba TO the United States. say, again,
too, pending the Ostend Conference the
British government favored this neasu-c.-
But now, in view of the ambitious project
Of Napoleon III. for the assertion Of preten-
sions to the crown Of Spain, that govern.
ment has become exceedingly anxious tc
strengthen Spain, by cutting off her expen-
sive and useless apendage of Cuba, and by
the same means 10 enable Spain to improve
her provinces, and be the better enabled tc
secure her independence against domestic
instruction and foreign invasion.
If Napoleon succeed in his intrigues, he
will extend his empire over both Spain and
Cuba, and this attempt is necessarily 10 be
resisted by England, at the hazard of wa,
with France-a war in which she will glad
ly have the United States as an allay. The
transfer Of Cuba to any foreign power the
United States have been pledged to resist
ever since the administration Of Mr.. Mon
