Petition from Gen. Lane.

Gen. Lane has addressed the follow
ing letter to Gov. Jos. A. WRIGHT, of
Indiana -
SIR Your petitioners respectively
represent, that John Ritchey, and other
worthy citizens of Indiana, removed to
the Territory of Kansas, intending to
make homes for themselves and families.
Depending upon the protection of the
General Government they purchased
property and erected dwellings which
they peaceably AID industriously oceu-
pied. Kansas was invaded by an organ
lied army from the State of Missouri,
supplied with all the munitions of war.
That army came with banners, and upon
their hats, in flaming letters, were in
seribed, " No quarter-death to Aboli-
tionists. They came breathing the most
terrible threats against all the Free State
settlers their march was marked by
atrocities without a parallel-towns and
dwellings burned-women violated
unarmed citizens taken, murdered and
scalped. Appeals were made by said
Ritchey and other actual settlers of
Kansas, to the Government, and to the
commandants of the United States forces,
for protection. By the Territorial Gov
ernor they were answered, that he could
not interfere unless they would submit
to the Territorial laws-meaning the laws
passed by the Legislature elected by the
citizens of Missouri. The commandants
of the United States forces answered
their prayers by informing them that
they had no power to interfere. All
their thoroughfares by which they could
supply themselves with provisions were
closed.
To resist such an invasion, after these
prayers had been fruitlessly made, the
said Ritchey and other citizens of Kan
sas took up arms They braveIy and
honorably fought, and repulsed the ma
rauding and invading army. While in
the field, in the discharge of this imper-
alive duty, thew were seized by the
United States army, and handed over to
the civil authorities, to be tried under the
statutes made by the Missouri Legisla-
ture, as if no war or invasion had taken
place. A trial under these statutes is a
conviction-conviction, death.
For, and on behalf of said John Ritch-
ey and other citizens of Indiana, who are
now In the hands of the creature Titus,
and suffering for provisions, we appeal to
you as the Governor of the State from
whence they emigrated, to demand from
the General Government their immedi-
ate release. They are guilty of no crime,
and are deprived of their liberty for dis
charging an imperative duty-a duty
they owed to themselves and families.

Gov. Shannon.

Gov. Shannon has issued pronuncia-
mento as long as Presidents message,
in defense of his course in Kansas. He
lays the blame of the late civil war to
President Pierce, who. be says. neglect
ed to furnish the forces he demanded 10
repress it. Hesalso condemns the reno
val of Col. Sumner. He thus winds up
his complaints against the President =
I now aver it to be true, and chal-
lenge contradiction, that from the day |
wasappointed to the time of my removal,
the only acts done by the President to
preserve peace in the Territory, or insure
the execution of the law, were the issuing
of his proclamation last February, and
his letter of instructions to me, accom-
Eanied by copies of the instructions
to-Col. Sumner and Col. Cooke. of the
same month, upon which ! have already
commented. / repeat that these are the
enlyac to which Ee can point as having
any agency in the affairs of Kansas. un-
less. indeed. che act of superseding Col.
Sumner can be claimed as one"

Ottawa Jones.

The following account of the destruc-
ton of Ottawa JONES residence, some
months ago, we find in the Zion's Her
aid, as detailed in a letter from Miss
Jane Kelley, formerly of North Var
mouth, Mass. The account is strictly
truthful, and shows that the depreda-
lions of the Ruffians is not limited to
white men. Mr.. Jones was leading
member of the Ottawa Indians, and q
prominent Free State man. This is the
reason of the violence committed on his
property, and the attempt on his life.
Miss Kelley says =
"The inmates of the house were
aroused at midnight by the noise of
armed men upon the pavement. The
window at the foot of the bed was
smashed in, and stern voice called
out, Surrender, and come out. and
you shan't be burnt u The call was
several times repeated, and all the
lower windows smashed in. At the
first alarm Mr.. Jones and his wife went
up stairs and aweke their children, with
out stopping to dress. The crowd had
now become very vehement, and gun
was fred. Mr. Jones went to the door
and asked what was wanted, at the same
time presenting double barrelled gun.
He was told not to shoot, but replied that
he would, and then darted ont of the
door. Five shots were instantly fired,
but he escaped. The mob were enraged,
and, ignorant of his whereabouts, cried,
" fire the house inside; FIRE the beds !;
that will bring him out; don't let him
escape: shoot him down."
]" In the mean time Mrs. Jones dress
ed herself, took what money there was
in a bureau and went into the hall.
which was full OF men, and the floor fred.
She passed out of the house, ten OF the
Ruffians following and robbing her OF
the money, upwards of FIVE hundred dol
lars. Mr.. n. Peck. who had been stay
ing in the house two weeks, very sick,
was dragged from his chamber BY the
bloodhounds. taken from the house, and
horribly cut and beaten until apparently
lifeless. when they carried him to the
banks of a creek aud pitched him over.
Luckily the creek was dry. and their ex-
pectation that he would float down the
stream and not be found, was frustrated.
The next morning he returned to his
| friends in shocking condition. with a
large cash across bis nose, one over each
ieye, and q great many bruises The dwell
ing was burnt to the ground. and after
completing their work of plunderan de-
struction, the villains hurried of. They
failed TO discover the locality of Mr. Jones,
who had run four miles to secure help,
and had escapedreceiving asingle wound
Yet his life is not regarded as safe. The
Ottawa Indians have rallied around the
ruined family. and promise that protec-
ton which government fails to afford..'

Selected Poetry.
CHANG q.
BIZ JOHN p. RICE.

At my chamber window sitting,
can view the stars of night
They forever twinkle, twinkle,
In the mellow evening light;
And while gazing at the jewels,
Fancy to hear them say
We. though glist'ning bright, and spark
ling,
viii, like all things-pass away"
When reclining meath the shadow
OF some tall and stately tree,
All its nodding leaves and branches
Speak the same soft note to me -
"We, though useful in our seasons,
Have brief existence here,
For the winds and frosts Of Autumn
Bring our dissolution near"
Thus it is with all things earthly,
For they perish and decay;
They, like all the works of Nature,
Perish soon, and fade away.
"Change" is written DER life's tablet,
Wheresoe'er our eyes may stray;
"Change," is Natures leading motto,
By it all things wear away.
Soon life's journey will be ended,
Soon viii come Deaths trying hour,
But may we be armored for it,
Calmly yield to changes power;
And though change destroys the body,
May the spirit wend its way
To that realm where change is banished,
And where Seraphs ever play.

The Affair at Leayenworth.

If the pro-slavery party in Kansas
are determined to disgrace and ruin
their cause, and to draw down upon
themselves the reprobation of good
men at the South as we'll as at the
North, they have only to continue in
the perpetration of such abominable
and hideous outrages as occurred at
Leavenworth last Monday week, to
accomplish their aim completely. That
shocking exhibition of cruelty and tyr
amy has been responded to by one
universal sentiment of execration,
against which even the Missouri Repu5-
tican, the vindicator of all the acts of
Atchison, Stringfellow, and their COM
rades, covers. The Republican has JUS
titled everything hitherto done and said
by thc pro-slavery men in Kansas, but
it has not had the hardihood, as yet, to
defend the Leavenworth outrage. Per-
haps it will employ correspondent,
one of those who took part in the dis
graceful affair to defend the guilty
parties.
The details Of this inexcusable and
fragrant outrage are well known to
most of our citizens. Thirty or forty
of the citizens of Leavenworth, among
whom were substantial and respectable
merchants, well and favorably known
in the business circles of St. Louis, by
their intimate business relations with
our city, were driven out of the place,
and compelled, without an hour warn
ing, to flee for their lives. leaving their
stores, their shops, and their homes, to
the mercy of their prosecutors. They
were not insurgents, they were not reb-
els against the territorial authorities,
they were not Abolitionists. They
were simply Free State men, who de-
sired nothing more than the right of
living in Kansas, and quietly pursuing
their avocations-a right which every
American citizen is entitled to-. be his
private opinions what they may. But
they were commanded to take up arms
in favor of the pro-slavery cause; and
because they could not and would not
do this, they were driven of, and forced
to seek elsewhere, that shelter which
they were denied on the inhospital soil
of Kansas.
We are not surprised. when such
atrocities as this. and the horse stealing
outrage at Lexington, are perpetrated
almost daily on the border-we are not
surprised to learn, as we do from sour
ces sminently reliable, that the pro-
slavery sentiment is about to react.
tits Just such conduct as this that has
coined Free Soilers out of Slave State
men, and disguised many pro-siavery
j citizens of Missouri with cause as.
sociated with cruelty, oppression. and
Iwrong.-&. Lou;s Latsz;eeacer.

Norcross' Patent Circular-saw Mill

alton, - Illinois.
HAVING purchased the right for all the
IL Western States and Territories of the above
patent, We are now prepared to furnish the best
CIRCULAR sAw-MILL,
decidedly, that has ever been offered TO the pub
lie. Mr.. Norcross is well known as the largest
practical and most scientific manufacturer in this
country, probably in the world; and his Circu-
lar Saw-Mill is fast becoming as popular and
celebrated as his Planning Machine, and only
requires an examination TO giveit the
PREFERENCE OVER ALL OTHER sAw-MILLs.
The saw has lateral vibration on adjustable
rocker boxes, and when thrown out of line will
recover itself by the action of the driving belt;
while at the same time the arbour has no lateral
play III the boxes, and is made to fit close with
the shoulders to prevent the oil from getting ont
while in operation, amatter Of great Importance
where the motion is as rapid as in circular saws
The arrangement of this machine is so perfect
simple and adjustable, that much thinner saw
can be used than is on any other mill, thereby
greatly
SAVING POWER AND LUMBER,
and is much less liable to get out of order. The
head blocks is great improvement over the old
style; both can be set by one man at the same

good style and quality, and as cheap. as can
be had in the West. We are also manufactur-

is unsurpassed as an upright mill, and has many
advantages over the circular saw, with
