Civil War.

We publish elsewhere in this paper two ac-
counts of the recent battle in Kansas, between
the pro-slavery and free-sol parties in that ter
ritory. The existence of civil war on our West
ern frontier is most lamentable fact. In COM
mon with all law loving citizens-all who desire
the peace of the country and the perpetuity OF
the Union to be maintained-we earnestly hope
that the recent measures of the Executive for
the restoration of order may be successful. 1t
is unaccountable, however, that Notwithstanding
the large number of United States troops in
Kansas, the warlike preparations Of the contend
ing factions still go ON, and that murders, and
house burnngs, and even pitched battles are
common occurrences. The officers in command
surely stand too much upon etiquette-they wait
for orders from Washington while these things
are taking place before their eyes. In one case
a camp was attacked and destroyed under the
very observation of force of United States
dragons, aud the assaants were permitted to
retire unmolested with their prisoners Cover
nor Geary has lately arrived in the Territory,
and it is saiG that his powers, rs we'll as Gen.
Smith have been enlarged so as to enable them
to act with more efficiency. The whole country
awaits the result with intense interest. 1t is
