WaDouSa, oct. 10.
This place is settled by emigrants from Con-
necticut 1t was selected by the New Haven
company last spring, and is very desirable To-
cation. The inhabitants are an industrious en-
energetic people and will soon make their town
attractive.
This is the company that was presented with
Sharpe's rifles, on their departure from New
Haven. by Beecher, Miss kllem and others,
about which so much has heretofore been said
by the various Administration organs. The
Wabousa boys shouldered their rifles and assis-
ted in our late struggle, were with US on the day
that Lawrence was attacked by 200 Missouri
ans, and were among the foremost they sal
lied out under their brave leader, Capt. Mitchell,
and skirmished for several hours.
They have clearly shown that those rifles
were placed in good hands.

The County JaiI.


well known, a large vote was given in Aug.
ust in favor of making an allowance to Mr..
Winter for losses sustained in the erection OF
the jail. But out of town, where he was not
well posted as to the facts, this decision was re-
versed. But since that time, many gentlemen
from the country have expressed themselves
satifed and anxious to vote again, and it is be.
lieved new vote in November will show diff
fercnt result.
In Tuesday mornings Gazette, Judge Wight
man, who contracted with Mr.. Winter in 1854,
has the following note. We present it as show-
ing what is the general conviction here.
DEAR SIR:-As a citizen and taxpayer, |
am heartily glad to see that his Honor, the
County Judge, has again submitted to the voters
OF this county, the question of paying to Mr.
Daniel Winter the actual loss he has sustained
in building the new Jail-for conscientiously
believe that unless the people of this county do
what believe to be justice in this matter, that
one man, an honest and every way worthy citi-
zen, will have to bear burthen that rightly and
Justly should be borne by the tax-paying citi
zcns Of the whole county-a burthen ruinous to
him, and but light when distributed where it
Justly belongs; for hold that to receive from
Mir. Winter or any other man, more than an
equivalent for what We pay, (when the fact is
made sufficiently evident that no other person
could have performed the same service for less
pay,} would be unjust. That such a course
would ruin the one to enrich the many.
That Mr.. Winters proposal Tor building said
Jail was less than the others is true, but had his
loss been but the difference between his bid and
the others that were offered, $500 would more
than compensate him. But his loss has been
far greater, owing to the fact that not only Ia
Dor, but every kind of material required in
building said JAIL cost him almost so per cent
more than the same was worth at the time OF
making his contract, and yet he perseyered and
it in the most satisfactory manner
according to the plans and specifications, and
The result is, that Des Moines county owns
Jail that | believe could not now be duplicated |
at less than fifteen thousand dollars. Mr.. Win
Ter has received eleven thousand five hundred |
dollars, the contract price for said Jail. Shall
he alone stand the loss he has thus sustained, or
shall it be paid to him from the County Treas
lry? ... ....-.-.... ..
For one knowing all the circumstances, the |
writer will conscientiously vote, "Pay for the |
Jail" OLIVER G. WIGHTMAN

pany of o. S. troops they surrounded the
Nicholas House and demanded of the host that
he should tell where Waterman, Fay and others
were concealed in his house, at the same time
adding that he need not deny knowing of their
Whereabouts, for E. c. K. Garvey had told him
they were there and he should search for them.
The landlord told them that he should tell
them nothing about it. The Marshal next de-
manded light; the host replied that he could
not have one. The Marshal then went to Gar
vey's house (Garvey keeps hotel just across
the street from Nchols',) obtained a light, ex-
| amined every room in the house-even the
sleeping room of the ladies-and at last found
Fay, took him below and returned to the same
room he asked Babcock if his name was Wa
terman he answered no. "What is it, then 2

| swered. He then told him he must arise and
go with him. Not being able to find Waterman

down Robinson and assisted in nominating

he, knowing that the Marshal was on the lool
out for him, would not stay at public house
but sought lodging at private dwelling.
Assoon as Babcock, Fay and Waterman arriv

with stolen horses. The Marshal proceeded a
once to Lecompton and was immediately sen
back with force for their arrest.

the proceedings of one whom they had trusted

II Fl .
A special messer ger from Kansas reached
Chicago on Saturday last, who brings intelli.
gence Of another high-handed invasion of the
constitutional rights of American citizens in
that territory. Governor Geafy is ably second
ing the movements Of the Border Rufians.-
i They have closed the Missouri river and are Sc
cureiy guardingit SO that no opponent of slave
! ry shall pass into Kansas by that river. Geary
has sent government troops to the northern
frontier and is arresting and taking prisoners all
emigrants from the free states following this
route This completely closes that territory in
| accordance with the programme and most certain
| ly makes Kansas a slave state If northern men
are excluded and the South permitted to colo
nize it, with the general government to back
| them, and the territorial government already
fraudulently in their hands, what hope is there
that it will be anything but an adjunct of Mis-
souri, and the South and the Botany Bay of the
slaveocracys Life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness are only guaranteed to three quarters
of the people Of the United States north of the
40th degree Of north latitude.
1t seems that the emigrants who started from
Mt Pleasant in September, took the precaution
to send messenger to Geary and inform him Of
their intended arrival and peaceable intentions
and that they obtained his permission to enter
the territory. But his pass was not good They |
were arrested, plundered, their arms taken from |
them, and they, men, women and children,
marched to head quarters as prisoners of war
Here is their statement, signed by the whole par
ty:
STATEMENT OF THE PRISONERS.
ENCAMPMENT ON Pony CREEK, K. T.
Midnight, Oct, 10, 1850
We, the undersigned, present to our fellow
citizens the following statement of facts and
ask their serious attention to the high.handed
violation of the Constitutional rights which they
disclose.
We left Mount Pleasant, Iowa, on the goth
of September, and after a toilsome journey of
some 81 days through iowa and Nebraska, we
reached the Kansas line this morning, October
10th, 1856. When We had proceeded about s
miles south OF the line, and while pursuing our
way in peaceful and quiet manner, we were
suddenly stopped by between 900 and TOO Uni
ted States troops, with six pieces of artillery,
under command Of Col Cooke acting as a posse
to United States Deputy Marshal Preston
After enquring who we were and to what
place we were going, and being truthfully in
formed, they announced their intention to SUBJ
jcct us to search, in obedience to instructions
from Gov. Geary. Col. Eldridge, as conductor
of the train, presented the following letter of
welcome from Gov. Geary

This letter was sent by a special messenger to
the train while at Nebraska. We protested
against any detention or search as violation
Of our constitutional rights, and the spirit of
Gov. Geary's letter. We admitted that we were
thoroughly armed, and stated that Gov. Geary
had been SO Informed by the bearer Of the let
ter, and he had distinctly admitted our right to
come armed into the territory. The train was
ordered to start, but was Immediately forcibly
stopped, neither our protest nor Gov Geary S
letter being respected. The wagons were then
searched, and all arms found in them taken
away. During the search trunks and vslises
were torn and broken open, the beds Of the fam
lilies were thrown out in the rain and trampled
in the mud-the ladies being treated with mex
cusable rudeness. .-s -... .- ..
After this was done they offered to escort US
to Gov. Geary, on condition that the leaders
pledged themselves to keep every man with the
train. This, having neither right nor power to
do they refused; telling them that when they
had taken from us all that they wanted, we
would take care Of ourselves. We were then
informed that we were PRISONERS OF WAR, our
entire train, numbering 25O men, women and
children, being surrounded by United States
troops and marched into camp, where we are
to night, under strong military guard, who
have orders to shoot down any man who at
tempts to leave. ..... -H>a-.e.....
We omit the names appended to this state
ment for want of room.

What must be the intelligence of the
man who earns his bread in the sweat of his
face and allows himself to be cajolled into vo-
ting for the extension Of the feudal system of
negro slavery! 1t is foul bird that fouls its
own nest, and very unworthy laboring man
who would degrade himself and his posterity to
the level ola chattel that is bought and sold.
The New York Day Book, one of the two pa
pers in New York city that support James Bu-
chanan, proposes to enslave poor Americans,
poor Germans and poor Irish, who may fall into
poverty and be unable to support their families
Here are the Day Books exact words in speak
ing of the poor white people: -5"
Sell the parents ofthese children into slavery.
Let our legislature pass law that whoever will
take these parents and take care of them and
their offspring, in sickness and in health-clothe
them, feed them, and house them-shall be le-
galy entitled to their service and let the same
legislature decree that whoever receives these
parents and their children, and obtains their
services, shall take care of them as long as they
live. . ~. ..--. .,...
