The Bill Of t.ae R RufIians for the; r In II
Work in sS ahsus.

Every fresh mail from st. Louis brings us ad.
ditional particulars OF the outrages and murders
committed by Marshal Donalson's posse of rgr.
fans in Kansas, and we lament to say tha, the
list OF victims is being constantly increased To.
day We copy from the correspondence of the ST.
Louis Democrat the particulars Attending the
wanton murder of two members Of the New
Haven Colony, perfectly peaceable at the time,
and who charged with no crime nor discr
der OF any kind. They fell victims to pro-.lav-
cry hate alone. There is every reason to sp.
prehend that other similar outrages and mur.
ders are still being committed upon the peacea.
bic and defenceless people Of the Territory, and
where the widespread tragedy is to cad no man
can tell. '3iL -#.a E-aa'f
Bat it is proper to suggest to the people ofthe
Free States that they will not alone be required
to submit quietly TO this plundering and murder.

and they are fully entitled to pay out of the
Q. s. Treasury, according to contract. Marshal
Donaldson called out a posse Of some thousand
rufiians specially to destroy Lawrence, andit did
not matter to him whence they came-all were
welcome. No sooner had Col. Buford's company
arrived at LecomptoD, fully armed as invaders.
than Gov. Shannon furnished them with U. 8.
rifles. They we're regularly enlisted into the
service OF the General Government for the time
being, and Of course their bill for work done,
as well as that of the portion of the posse CON.
posed Of border ruffians from Missouri, will, we
may De sure, be presented to Congress for pay

now doing, the very business which they we're

Supremacy - claw and OrAer."
AZ the risk Of wearying our readers with the
all-engross;ng topic, We wish to put one matter
upon the record which we may have occa-
sion to use hereafter. The Gazette quotes
Kansas news from the Missouri Republican and
has the anbloshing efrontery TO style it an an
ti-Administraaion and unprejudiced paper
When every, body knows it is the organ Of the
Border Rufians and supports Douglas for the
Presidency! Great veneration for truth has
this Gazette truly. Now this truthful Gazette
copies from the disinserested Republican very
brief account Of the sacking Of the town of
Lawrence. The Flaw and order" sheriff Of Doug
las county brought his artillery to bear upon the
Hotel, until its walls began TO totter, "when
fire was rut to it and it was left in ruins.n
The printing materials Of the Herald Of Free
dom office, and of the Kansas Free State Office.
were then taken and thrown into the river
One man, who was observed attempting to make
ms escape from house during the heat of the
excitement, was fred upon and killed.
And then the Editor of the Gazette identities
himself in the Border Rufiian cause as follows:
1--WE are yet to learn that the United States OF
Territorial authorities are at all amenable to
censure."
The Jacobins hadtheir Fouquier Tinville-the
Pro-Slavery party their Lecompt. The "Judici-
ary tribunal in Kansas has legalized arson and
authorized the destruction Of printing Offices,
while itslegally constituted posse have murdered
and robbed "ad li5itum.n And yet the Ga
zette is praising the moderation of these brigands
and commencing their acts as praiseworthy!

Mr.. BENEFITS JUVENILE CoNcERT.-This was
as we anticipated, a very interesting affair, and
well attended, though not so largely as it de-
served The performance of his class was ex
cellent far surprising what was anticipated. The
pupils did themselves credit, and proved that,
for so short time, they had been well trained.
Mr.. Bennett is himself fine musician, possessing
voice of unsurpassed natural sweetness which
has been admirably cultivated. He was assist
ed by Messrs. Rhein, Cloutman, Kustenmacher
and Lanse who performed their several parts in
a manner that elected much applause.
The concert was given at the Congregational
Church. The children were elevated upon a
platform at the west end of the chureh-dress-
ed in white, with flowers upon their heads, re-
minding us of 'sthe happy land!" @

tY As we have passed to and fro and heard
the ring of the masons trowel, the clatter of the
stone hammer-the sound of the saw and hatch
ct, and behold the multitudes of new buildings
springing up every where, as by enchantment,
we have been tempted to send out runners East,
West, North and South to bring back to us the
enumeration Of those erecting and already com.
pleted this spring in the city of Burlington. But
one thing detcrs us. Should we report three
hundred, five hundred or a thousand would be
all the same. Our contemporaries along the river,
who run by steam and gas would take up the tale
and beat it all to bugs, the last one having a
turn at it outstripping all the rest.
We presume to say that We are within bounds
when we estimate that FROM three to FIVE hun
dred buildings have gone up and are in course
of erection, all commenced since the breaking
up of winter, and that the latter figure is near
est the mark. Keokuk, Dubuque, Davenport
and Muscatine papers will please notice, we re-
serve the right of closing this case after they
shall have seyerally spoken. 'a."s -.

advance funds towards the const! uction Of the

way communication through a land of freedom
would soon be opened to within short distance
of Kansas thus enabling emigrants to reach their
future homes with little delay or difficulty.
