sent them aid, but cannot tell how they
have come out, but expect some have
been killed on both sides. Their motto is
assassination, and Southern men arc begin
nlng to khltthem whenever they meet them.
They will not come ont and fight III open
day light, but prowl around in the dead
hour OF midnight, and murder men and
children. The general opinion hero is that
there will be hard fighting before the scene
closes. We hope South Carolina will rally
to our assistance, for we will need it.
Ncw6ery Sun, 1stA inst.
The letter purportng to he from Gov.
Rcedcr to Mr.. Grow, which has Just been
given to the world, contains confession of
his own guilt and wrong and that of the
party which he has SO largely contributed
to mislcad and scGncc into rebellion and
treason in Kansas. Here is this precious
confession:
"As to putting set of laws in operation
i'll opposition to the Territorial Government
my opinion is confirmed instead of bcnr
shaken. My predictions have all been vcri,
lied so filr,salId will DC in the future. We
will be, sosfar as the legality is concerned.
i'll the wrong, and that is no triflc in so criti.
cal state Of things; andin5view Of such
bloody consequences, it WILDE an invitation
to the powers to be- to bring down the
Missourlans upon us, in tire assumed charac-
ter of vindicators of, the law. What con.
sumatc folly is there not in such a move 2
on will have seen Pierce's message. Sun
pose we had occupied the gromdI wished.
OF the mere adoption of the constitution
and the election Of officers only, for the pur-
pose Of applying for admission, what ground
would Pierce have to stand on, or how
much of his message would have been left ?
lie is not the only man who is backward
and lukewarm towards us. For this reason
they say they cannot sustain lis in the posi-
ton OF resistance to the Territorial Govern
ment, and You will find, think, that Doug
las will also take that ground; but |
want you to understand me distinctly that |
do not talk thus publicly TO our enemies.
l may speak my plain and private opinion
in letters to our friends in Kansas for it is
my duty; but to tile public, as YOU will
see by my pulic letter, Ishow no divided
front" -,

"A CHICAGO IrEM.-Tt is reported that on
one of the most conspicuous corners in Chi
cago is large six story building, built by
a clerk in the city, with funds purloined
from his employer. When detection be-
came unavoidable he left town and sent
back an agent to negotiate. The matter
was finally arranged by the employer taking
the building and paying the thief ten thou
sand dollars, and it was remarked, so great
had been thesriso in the value Of the prop.
erty that the employer made his fortune by
being robbed.
