THE MINERS 'SrnIKE.-Ther ere is yery
strong probability that the miners of Red
Dog, Walloupa, Little York, and all that
section, will succeed very shortly in bring
ing the price of water down to the original
demand of the miners of Red Dog. 1t
will be recollected that the miners of the
last named locality held a meeting and
resolved that thOy would pay no more
than twenty-five cents an inch for water.
They have since been joined by the mi
ners OF tho other localities mentioned. -
The price demanded by the ditch owners
was fifty cents. But last week they sig
nified to the miners their willingness to
take thirty three cents an inch. But this
:he miners refused to give, and hence the
conclusion that the miners will succeed in
their demands, as no water is sold by the
owners of the ditch which supplies all these
localities, il few individual cases are cx-
cepted.
The following are copies of notices
which gentleman of Nevada saw posted
upon tree near Red Dog:
"NorIcE.--We the owners ofthe Chalk Bluff
Ditch do agree to sell our water at the rate Of
three inches for one dollar.

THE ATTACK on FRANKLIN.
Reliable Int diligence from a Private Messenger.
MIssoURIANs IN SECRET rFoRTIFICATIoNs
ROUTED BY FREE STATE MEN

From the Chicago Democratic Press goth inst.
A messenger has just arrived from Kansas
with reliable information about the reported at
tack upon the town of Franklin.
1t seems that the Border Ruflians have been
industrously improving their time for several
months past in preparation for general attack
upon the Free State settlers-to wipe them out
with fire a.d sword.
For this purpose they have erected block hou-
ses In which they have stored away ammunition
and provisions They felt 50 confident of sue
cess that they made no secret of their intention
and even fixed the time for the attack
Already had they commenced numbering the
Free State men. Free State man by the name
of Hoyt, from Mass. was found shot the
block house Washington Greek. and another
whose name the messenger did not remember
was also shot near the same place.
The Free State men being perfectly acquan-
ted with this state of facts, and knowing full
well that there would be no interposition on the
part OF the government, were compelled to take
the iniative, and accordingly on the night of the
18th inst. attacked the border rufiian block
house at Franklin, where it was known guam
titv of arms dc. were store |.
This block-h0uSe was defended by some 30
men, who Of course had great advantage in
being defended by the toS .fcatiun. The Free
State men however succeeded in taking the
house alter fight of some hours One Free
State man was killed and two severely wound
q cannon. The arms We're mostly stolen from
Lawrence at the sack efthat place III the spring.
The Free State men are fully assured are
prepared for any emergency. Numbering three
to of the actual settlers, difficulty need
be apprehended from them, for they are of
peace; but if the border ruffians undertake the
saeking of Lawrence again or any of the Free
State towns, there win be fighting in good
nest.
To snch pass has the waiting ambition of
Mr.. Douglas in repeating the Missouri Compro-
mise IN order TO secure seat III the PresldeD

good men hope IN this hour of darkness and

endured about all il Is possible for humanity to
suffer, and few viii doubt tisat the time for de-
clsire action has come The Slavery propagan-
dists were establishing posts through the terri
tory. preparatory to another incursion of the
Rufiians to sweep them from their chosen homes
on the fair fields of Kansas. They must defend
themselves or die, and who can blame them for

Democracy, not long since protested to be OPP
posed to the extension of slavery. Now they
are slandering jefferson by trying to prove that
he believed thai slaves were more happy and
their emancipation facilitated by being diffused
over a greater surface of Territory. See an ar
ticle aPprovingly copied into the last Democrat
from the new pro-slavery organ recently started
at Monroe.
If the Democrat really believes this doctrine,
it is consistent in advocating the extension of
slavery and the election of Buchanan but it
should no longer claim to be opposed TO making
Kansas slave State. Is the editor of the DEM

Hon. RUFTs CHoATE.-This gentleman, once
a protested Wing, has declared himself III favor
Of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency, in letter
to Buchanan Committee in Maine. Over it
the advocates of Border Ruffianism are rejoicing
in all parts of the Union. Mr.. Choate is an able
Lawyer, and his opinion, is of course entitled
TO respect He admits himself but poorly post
ed upon the political issues and if he
were he is but a single individual, who stands
no higher in point of sagaclty, influence or
sound Judgement than hundreds of others who
have espoused the of Freedom, both
North and South. We have disposition to
impeach the motives of Mr. Choate, and are
willing to give our opponents the fnll benefit of
his influence, but imaginge that the same
reasons lie gives for opposing the Republican
movements of this day, would have placed him
in opposition to the movements of our Revolu-
tionary sires, had he been contemporary with
them.
