ArcH1sox's SPEECH BEFORE LAwRENoE.

ATCHIsoN'S SPEECH BEFORE LAWRENCE.
We have been furnished with the following
report of speech make by Atchison to the
posse assembled by Donaldson and Jones in
Lawrence just previous to the sacking of that
place. Our informant states that it is nearly
verbatim He says that upwards of 100000
worth of property in and about Lawrence was
destroyed or carried off by the forces under
Marshal Donaldson and Sheriff Jones.
ATcHIsoN's SPEECH.
Boys this day l am Kickapoo Ranger by
lG-d. This day we have entered Lawrence
with Southern Rights inscribed upon our ban
ner, and not one id sbolitionist dared to fire
a gun.
| Now, boys, this is the happiest day of my
life. We have entered that id town, and
taught the id aboltionists southern les.
son that they will remember until the day
they die. And nov, boys, we will go in again
with our highly honorable Jones, and test the
strength of that id Free State Hotel, and
teach the Emigrant Aid Company that Kansas
shall be ours. Boys, ladies should, and hope.
will, be respected by every gentleman. But,
when a woman takes upon herself the garb of
a soldier by carrying Sharp's rifle, then She
is no longer worthy of respect. Trample her.
under your feet as you would snake.
Come on, boys. Now to, your duty to your.
selves and your southern friends.
Your duty, l know you will do. If one
man or woman dare stand before you, blow
them to hell with chunk of cold lead.

THE KANSAS TRIBUNE.

The Tribune of this city still lives; its edi-
tors have been advised to keep cool and say
but little, if they want to keep their press and
material from suffering the fate of the Herald
of Freedom and presists in rebuking the dark
spirit of the Border Ruffian Democracy of the
country, and boldly and fearlessly avows his
determination to vindicate the freedom and
dignity of the American press. His paper of
yestefday "a copy of which 1 send you) will
insure its destruction by the Pierce Admins
tration party, at an early day.. which has al
really been threatened. A United States Dis
trict Judge will declare the Tribune establish
ment nuisance, and a Marshars posse will
proceed to destroy it if they can.

The Judge refused to admit Governor Robin

A FALSE ALARM.

The boys were in for some fun, and fright
ened the DR.. so much that he soon after left
for Tecumseh, pro-slavery town, and awak-
ened all of it's citizens with a report that sew
eral hundred men from Topeka were on their
way to demoliSh the town in revenge for the
destruction of Lawrence.
The citizens began to scatter, the women
and children were taken out of town, and hid
in the timber, guard was stationed about the
town, and every one expected an attack be-
fore morning.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1856-06-06


The cost of the recent attack by the Mar
shal's posse upon Lawrence has been estimat-
ed to cost the citizens in the loss of property
about one hundred thousand dollars. The
hotel cost thirty-tiye thousand. The furniture
ten thousand-Governor Robinson's house and
contents five thousand more. The two print
ing establishments, goods stolen from the
houses and stores, horses captured and stolen
by the enemy, stock shot, and damaged to
other property, will amount to as much more;
in all, the amount stolen above. The citizens
of Lawrence can i'll efford to lose SO much
property at this time, the losses of last De-
cember, and expenses of carrying on the war
was immense and bears hard upon the people.
Unless assistance is rendered by Congress or
the people, it will be long time before the
losers will be able to go on improving the town,
etc. Our people are poor and not able to stand
up against the powerful combination arrayed
against them.

A MESSENGER DISPATCHED.

A messenger was dispatched to Governor
Shannon at Lecompton with the startling in
teIligence that Topeka was on the march to
destory Tecumseh. The Governor sent an
order to Col. Sumner to send his troops at once
to this city to preserve order.
The citizens of the threatened town stood
tremblingly through the night expecting a
hard fight But the morning came-the sun
arose as usual-the town still standing-in-
formation sent to the country of the fact, and
in came the party who had retreated to the
timber the evening before, and all was well.
A PEACE COMMITTEE
They soon after sent committee of three
of their most prominent men in this city to
confer with our people, and to counsel peace.
saw them as they came in, and they went
about pretending to deplore the recent trans
action at Lawrence, and pledged themselves to
use their influence to prevent an attack upon
this city. AT the same time one of the com
mittee was in the posse that made an attack
upon Lawrence; but an attack by Free State
men upon his own town, he feared very much.
THE BOYS ENJOY THE FUN.
The boys that had occasoned all the trouble
stood by and enjoyed the fun very much.
THE CONGRESS COMMISSION.
The Kansas Committee are still in session
in Leayenworth. and are determined to inves-
tipate into all the facts relative to the recent
attack upon Lawrence.

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

Some of our people were somewhat surpris
ed last evening, to learn of Shannon's readi-
ness to order out the troops for the protection
of this city. 1t was not expected, on account
of the appeal being from Free State men,
To-day the mystery has been explained. 1t
seems that few evenings since small party
of eight persons were out on a scout and un-
expectedly came upon DR.. Gagan, a pro-slav-
cry man, resident-and spy-of this city.
