RErUGEs.-A correspondent ofthe Lake
Charles, La. Press says that certain char
acters, who have been driven from Orange
County, Texas, have taken up their abode
in the solitudes of the Sabine Swamp in
Louisiana. Twenty five citizens Of the
parish Of Calcasieu lately proceeded in q
quiet, peaceable manner to the camps or
dwelling places of these persons, and in
formed them upon what terms and condi-
tons they will be allowed to remain or
otherwise take their leave.
Most Of these persons promised to leave
shortly or give satisfactory guarantees OF
good behavior. The writer in the press
says:
There are few places perhaps within
the state, in which the assassin, the muir.
derer and the robber. can SO successfully
escape detection, as in the almost impen.
etrable forests and heavy canebreaks upon
the banks Of the Sabine River. To the
dwelling places Of some Of these persons,
there is no path, not even blaze, to con-
duct you to their hannts, you are left to
grippe your way through tho primeval
forests, lagoons, &C., with nothing to guide
your footsteps, but reason and the meagre
information which you may chance to
obtain from some sojourner. There ID
certainly nothing very inviting in that por.
ton ofthe country which We visited to the
man who is capable Of appreciating the
benefits derived from a civilized communi.
ty; it seems that their quiet repose. must
often b disturbed away. The whistles
and groans of the astonished bear, and the
loud believing ofthe loathesome crocodile
are certainly calculated to startle the bold
est in Sabine bottom.

field District is called for the first Monday in March,
to send Delegates TO Columbia for the purpose of
nominating Representatives 10 the CincInatti Con-
ven,un in June, then and there to nominate Dem

Although there are many who are opposed to
sending Delegates to the said Convention, we pre-
sumo there will be no opposition, and the business
of the meeting will soon be over and then we hope
that MI will meet and form a Kansas Aid Society"
Surely there is 10 difference Of opinion on that
point.
Every man who owns slave is deeply interested
and let NIL come prepared to subscribe one dollar
for every slave they own. Let officers be appointed
and an Executive Committee to direct the affairs OF
the Society and when we get the right sort ot
men let us send Company that will do honor to
the District and State. Kansas is to be tlle battle
ground, and shall we not be represented there
