suggestive Fact 10 Western Men.
In the course Of Mr. Hall,s romarks ~ a

Suggestive E'act 10 westcrn Men.
In the course Of Mr.. Hall's remarks in ex
PLANTATION of the action of Congress on the
Iowa Railroad Grant, he stated in substance.
that the Republican party had the power in
the House, that they were Northern and East
ern men, and in favor of improvements and
grants OF land; and that, on account Of his
party predictions, he had no influence with
them, while the power Of the Democratic par
ty was in the South, whose members were
opposed to improvements.
That is doubtless true. We cannot de-
pend on the South for aid, but must look to
the North and East; and If we would effect
anything in Congress We must send q men,
Der there who can have some influence with
Northern and Eastern men. Such seems TO
US a common sefse view of the subject, and
one that is entitled to the consideration Of
every voter Of the District who does not look
upon Slavery extension as the paramount
good, overriding every other interest Of ma
tional legislation.

From the Border Times cxfa to- day. we
make the following extracts with some add
tional particulars, which/wc obtained from
Judge Fain, who WAS on the ground at the
time. 1t is perfectly reliable and correct :
Early Wednesday morning, the l.. S.
Marshal's posse took possession of the
Mound in front Of Lawrence, and between

Deputy, W/P. Fain, Esq, into Lawrence.
with posse Of ,ight.

Jones rode up in front OF tn. Free State
Hotel, and calling flor Gen. Pomeroy. d.
manded all the Sharpe's rifles ana artillerv
giving him FIVE minutes to decide whether he
would surrender or not
fameroy said he would surrender all he
could get, anu fifteen minutes was allowed
them to stack their arms in the street.
II was the express orders Of Sheriff Jones
that no private property should be injured.
and particularly that Robinson's house
should not be touched, but the crowd had
become SO highly excited, that nothing could
De done to restrain them. They then carried
the artillery IN front Of the Free State Hotel
and fired upon it until the walls began Co
iaii they then set 1t on fire and left il in
ruins.
The printing materials of the Herald al
Freedom and Kansas Free State Offices, were
thrown into the river.

Nxw YORK, May 26.-There was a large
congregation at Plymouth Church last eve
ming, to hear Rev. Ii. w. Beecher, who had
announced in the afternoon that his sermon
would refer to the peculiar condition of the
country. The ontrages on Mr.. Sumner, and
the destruction Of Lawrence, were freely
commented upon. Several others from
Brooklyn and New York spoke on the oc-
casion.
The Tines correspondent says the Rev.
DIR. Pine preached q strong sermon to day,
on the downward tendency Of civilization at
Washington. He referred to the three cases
Of ruf1ianism, and the fact that the perpetra-
tors are now making our laws is \ fearful ev-
ideace Of deprayity I; and urged it as the du.
" of the Church to exert its influence for
reform, and that of its members not to assoc
ciate with those who outrage the laws by
violence. He said it was shame TO coun-
tenance such violence, and If you are not
ashamed of it you should be.
X is publicly stated that DIR. Pine declined
an Invitation to dine ut the house OF q dis
tinguishcd Senator, because he was informed
that Brooks was to be one Of the party.
DIR. Sunderland also delivered ON eloquent
sermon in the same strain to which the Pres
| ident listened.
| lHc W uauluktUu correspondents Oh the
Tribune says that MIR. Champion, the British
Minister, will receive his dismissal to-mor-
row, also the consuls who engaged in the en-.
] listment business.
Mr.. Sumner continues comfortable, though
somewhat weak and feyerish. Calls on him
have been very numerous.
j Boaes, May 26.-An Indignation meeting
was held at Faneu Hall, Saturday evening,
composed Of citizens OF oil parties. 1t was
one Of the largest gatherings that has ever
assembled in this city !; thousands of people
were unable TO gain admittance. Governor
Gardner presided. Speeches strongly de-
. lnouncing the assault upon Mr. Sumner, and
looking to the expulsion Of Brooks from
Congress, were adopted.

DIED,

On Sunday, July u, ROBERT EMMETT, infant son OF
A. w. and Elizabeth Graves Of this place.
So fades the lovely, blooming flower,
Frail smiling solace OF an hour;
So soon our transient comforts by,
And pleasure only blooms to die. L.
After IN illness of several weeks in Waynesborough
on Saturday evening the 26th of July, MAMIE koDEs
Youngest daughter of Nathaniel Masse, Esq. In the
twelfth year Of her age There much in the cir
cumsances and character of the sweet and interesting
child who is the subject Of this brief notice, to call up
long train of reflection proper for us to indulge
in it, She was the youngest member of large fam
ily and the only daughter OF her mother In dispos
ton and character she gentle and loving, mild and
amiable, to o degree not often met with. AT home,
where she was the centre of many clustering afee
TONS at school she was SO much loved by teach
er and fellow pupils and at the Sabbath school, where
she was so regular and obedient scholar, she was
ever the same mild quiet, gentle child. Her spirit
was indeed, humanity speaking, guileless one. And
this meek and accomplishing spirit not only marked
her while blooming with health, but was even more
strikingly shown in her last protracted illness.
But many and tender as were the ties, which
bound her to the living, she has passed away. Our
Father in Heaven called her away, before the corro-
ding cares of the world had rued the placid current
of her life and better still, before the full grown and
maured corruption of our poor and sinful nature had
scared her young heart blghted and withered her
affections Heavens favorites are the early dead.
There is q little incident which perhaps would show
her serious turn of mind The last time she attended
the Sabbath school, she had learned and repeated that
beautiful hymn, commencing with,
"Come, my Redeemer come"
Her pastor mentioned the circumstance in the funeral
DISCOURSE and requested the congregation to sing the
hymn.
May God in his infinite mercy heal where he hath
wounded and cause those who have been sorey chas-
tened to feel and realize that all things work together
for good to them that love him.

THE OxYGENATED BITTERs.

From the Boston Ottre Branch.
Among the many popular medicines which have ac-
quired high reputation. we believe none have been
found of much benefit for dyspepsia, asthma and SINH
lar complaints till the Orygenated Bnters, by many
and various trials and experiments, has been found
sure and radical remedy-a desideratum long desired
by physicians. It's ingredients have been shown by
chemical analysis to be harmless and safe and from
the testimonials of many of our first citizens who
have been benefited by it, feel assured that those
indisposed with the above complaints can rely upon
these Bitters with safety.
