They are to be met in scattering com

miserable. Many of them have spent
all their money, have gathered up their
little effects, and crossed the river ia

wilderness, or patch Of prairie, where
they will be at peace.

they left but a few months before. And
civil war in Kansas has wrought all this
mischief-doomed many a hopeful hess,
to despair and death, and embittered
the lives of hundreds more whose pitte.
Gus stories the world will never know.
The steamer New Lucy, from St. Jp-
seph last evening brought down three q
four families of these people, natives6f
Kentucky. They had travelled from
Kansas to JEFFERSON City on foot, having
left the Territory to save their lives
and being afraid to approach the riSt-
at a nearer lauding, lest their proersp
should be infe. ceptcd. They were ehg
%titute when they reached Jefferson9%k'

The cabin passengers on the New Lu-
cy behaved nobly towards them, and a
purse of $40 was made up for their ben.
eft. The officers of the boat gave them
their passage, and provided them with
wha' comforts they could during the
trip. The money win be used for She
purchase of clothing, to enable them to
continue their way back to their homes
in respectable habi.iments. Some oil
them last evening, were carrying guam
titles of bread and other provisions
aboard the boat. We saweote boy che
had as much bread and dried beef as he
could carry, which he said had been
given to him by some generous dealer in
provisions. These scenes are now OF
every day occurrence, and we, as chron-
iclers of passing events, are panied to
have them on record.
The time will come when the peofic
mind will be in a temper to ask, how
aud by whose insrrumentality was this
distress and misery brought about ?
What agency had the Congressional
Aid Society, and the Massachusetts
Emigrant Aid Society, and the Beech
ers, the Sillimans, the Greeleys, the
Quincy's, the Summers, and the Gerrit
Smiths. in reducing these people, and
thousands of others, to beggary and
squalid wretchedness-in introducing
murder aud rapine and desolation
throughout the Territory of Kansas ?
1t will be a fearful reckoning, but one
which will as surely overtake them as
that there is q God in Heaven who sees
the wickeduess of men on earth, and
Furnishes them for their iniquities.
