From Our Special Correspondent In Kansas
TOPEKA. X. T., Friday, July 4, 1856.
You are aware that tho State Legislature was
to meet here o.day. After it was assembled Col.
Sumner, in company with Postscript Donaldson,
rode into Toptka at the head Of FIVE companies Of
Dragons, all equipped for war, aud planted two
pieces of artillery at the head Of Kansas avenue,
the gunners having GIFTED matches. The dragons
were arranged in the streets in military order, az.
ter which Col. Sumner dsmounted and went intO
the Hall of Representatives and dispersed them.
He did the work in gentlemanly manner, but
told them he was there to dispense them, and
would enforce bis orders. He hen entered the
Senate and also oispersed that body.
TIE people assembled here had agreed, as had
the L. eislature, not to fight the troops. Marshal
Donaldson had previously come with proclama-
ton, under the authority of Franklin Pierce, to
d. perse The Legislature but DO attention was paid
to IT till Col. Sumner arrived with his forces.
The Convention asst mbled here are passing res.
OutiOLs fully ibdOtsiDg the Safe movement and
the Topeka Constitution. Though Lane has not
arrived, some 500 people had assembled. Fears
of invasion by the Missourians had kept many at
home.
Col. Sumner when dispensing the Legislature
made the following little speech II an called
"upon, be said, "to peril rm the most disagree

"Presdeit's proclamation. / am here to dis

Judge Schuyler asked Col. Sumner I" if they
"were to understand that they were driven out at
"ihe point Of the bayonet'" Col. Samner re-
piled: 81 will use the whole force under my COM
"mand to enforce this order" The Legislature
then dispersed.

KANSAS-BROOKS.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, July 9, 1856.
The House refused to sustain the recommends
ton of the Committee TO print hundred thousand
copies of the Kansas Report, by nine majority.
The votes of Messrs. Dunn, Haven, Scott, Koight
Tyson and Day carried Mr. Cobb's amendment for
ten thousand. Simultaneously, majority in the
Senate were pressing the printing of twenty thous
and extra copies of tDeir Kansas b' passed yester
day, and refusing to incorp rae the amendments
offered and voted thereon.
Brooks's case opened with much exhibition of
interest on all sides, and full attendance. Me-.
Campbell sketch'd a general outline of the merits
of the case, reserviDg his concluding answer be-
fore the vote. Mr. Cliogmau attempted to belitte
the importance Of the occasion By comparing it TO
others which had passed upnoticed, aDd defending
the act as justl6able. Mr. Bingham most ably and
emphatically reviewed the who're proceeding treat
ing it Is violation of privilege and an outrage upon
guaranteed constitutional rights. His exposition aud
criticism of the Judicial authorities excited deep at
tenton, while his decided treatment of BrOOks's
personal conduct and his anmadVe stirred up
the chivalry. Mr.. Orr came TO the rescue of his
colleague, endeavorng to palliate the Offense and
create the impression that Summers illness was
feigned. In the course of his remarks, he charged
that the design of recOmmeI ding q hundred thOus-
and copies Of the Kansas report was to procure an
electioneeripg document. This allegation called
up Mr.. Hickman, who repealed the imputation, and
in the confusion of the moment Mr.. K.itt was seen
to rise and attempt to rush at him, but was held
by his friends. Another scene was apprehended
for an instant, as was the when, al the con-
cluson of Mr.. Biogham's spefcb Brooks interro-
gsted him as to some supposed reflection respect
ing the imputed violation of his oath and the Con-
stitution, but both blew over. INDEX.

tunity for thank Offering for the mild and
benifcent rule hitherto of this so-called Ro-
man Catholic administration. Surely no
case is too desperate to be assayed by the
everlasting loquacity and ingenuity of law
yer! Alas for the pertinacity with which
some Of them are wont to stick to either side
of cause, which either interest or circum-
stances may throw upon them for vindica-
ton, and for the refreshing GOODNESS, and
outside serenity of feature with which they
will avow and palm off Craze joke, for
Gospel verify, upon the unlettered and the
unthinking! Ny friend Josiah F. Polk,
Esq, of Washington city, in a discussion
upon this subject, ably remarks: ''Almost
Immediately after the passage Of the Tolera-
ton Act ESQ called) of 1919, the Colony of
Maryland was subjected to the authority Of
the Puritan Commonwealth of England
fifteen years only from the time that the first
settlers landed in St. Mary's. Not many
years after this the Protestant colonists are
spoken of as il the proportion of thirty to
one Romanist. Had they possessed the
moral power, we are unable to learn at what
period, after the first five years, from the
time the first settlers landed, the Roman
Catholics enjoyed the physical power to per-
secute the rest" Yours, truly, &c.

SHIPMENTS OF BREADsTUFFs TO EUROPE.

SHIPMENTS OF BREADsTUFFs TO EUROPE
There has lately been quite revival in the
shipment of breadstufs to Europe from the
United States, particularly from New York.
The Herald of that city says:
To form some idea of this revival we may
state that within the past two weeks we have
shipped from this port alone to ports in Great
Britain about 300, 600 bushels of grain, half
or more of which was wheat, at an average
value of not less than one dollar bushel
for both, combined making $500, 900, and
about so, 600 to 60, 900 barrels of -four, at
an average cost of about six dollars a bar
rel, making from 800, 1000 to $3.50, 900, or
a total value for the two weeks of from 6O0,-
900 to $3.50, 900. These shipments must
tell to some extent against the value of for
eign exchange, and tend to check the ex-
port of specie.

THE CHAMPION DIFFICULTY.-It is not

pursue with regard to the Champion difficulty.
We copy from the Union, paragraph
which may show the leaning of the admin
istration at present.
eve conclude that the impression sought
to be made, that Lord Clarendon's letter is
likely to relieve Mr. Champion from the
charge made against him, and to induce our
government to change it's policy as indicated
by demanding his recall, is without any
foundation. Whatever course our govern
ment may deem it proper to pursue under
the circumstances, it is gratifying to know
that, as the case now stands, the British
government can have no pretext for being
seriously offended 1t can surely be no
cause of hostilities if our government choos-
es to adhere to its conviction that the evil
dence is conclusive as to Mr. Champions
guilt and for that reason, whilst it may &C
cept the disclaimer as to any intentional vio-
lation of our laws or rig gifts by the British
government, should determine that Mr..
Champions continuance here as minister
would be incompatible with proper regard
for our national self-respect. We do not
know what may be the course of the admin
istration, but we have deemed it proper to
make these suggestions, as the result of our
reading of the reply of Lord Clarendon"

The Tribune publishes an extra, based upon
intelligence brought by three men direct
from Lawrence, stating that company Of
four hundred mounted Missourians made
their appearance near Lawrence, on We'd
Inesday, bearing banners and various devil
ces, but not the stars and stripes.
During the morning the Lawrence Com
mittee Of Safety sent note to the United
States Marshal, who headed the force, as
suring him that they would make no resis-
lance in any process he NIL ht wish to serve,
and begging for the protection Of their lives
and property.
The Marshal made no answer, but at
eleven o'clock, the deputy marshal with a
posse Of ten men made their appearance in
the city, and summoning four citizens to as
sist him, arrested G. W. Dielsler, and G..
w. Smith, carrying them off without moles-
tation. Sheriff Jones subsequently made
his appearance with Is men he attempted
no arrests, but demanded all public and pri-
vate arms to be delivered up, giveng the peo-
pie only five minutes to accede to his de-
mands and threatening, in case Of refusal,
to storm the town.
One field piece was Immediately surren-
dered up, but the people refused to give up
their arms. In half hour Sheriff Jones
returned with two pieces of artillery and an
overwhelming force, and commenced the
work of destruction by cannonading the
Free State Hotel and the Office of the Her.
aid of Freedom. The former was burnt
and the types and presses of the latter were
destroyed! The TiJune's informants left
that evening, and when fifteen miles from
Lawrence saw a great light and volumes of
smoke in the direction of the place. They
Another messenger who left Leavenworth
just before the departure of the boat, says
that several men had been killed by Sheriff
Jones' party. 1t was also feared that Gen.
Pomeroy had been hung by the mob.
Governor Robinson is still at Lecompton
in the hands of the authorities. Ex-Gov-
