"Tha New York Citizen"

We have received from the publisher
copy Of this able American Irish weekly
Journal. 1t is by far the best Irish paper
published in the Union, and it has done
more TO renew sympathy for Ireland, than
all other papers published in this country.
In the copy we have before US, appears an
able. letter from the powerful pen of John
Mitchell, favoring the election of James
Buchanan to the Presidency. The Citizen
is an ardent supporter Of the Democratic
Ticket, and with its great influence will dc
much to promote the success of that party
The Citizen is soon to commence the pub
hcation of the life of Thos. Devin Riley
from the pen fJohn Mitchell, bicgra.
ply which will be eagerly sought for By
the reading public. The Citizen has !
circulation of 20, 900 copies, and is dali,
becoming more popular. 1t should receiv'
a liberal support from the Irish population
whose interests it so ably defends. Term
only s3 per annum. Address John Mc
Clanehan, New York City. We shoul'
be happy % receive the Citizen as reg

fight anticipated.
We have startling intelligence from
Southern Nebraska. The Border Ruff
ans. from Missouri, have invaded the Ter
ritory, and, up to Sunday, had arrived
". thin 90 miles of Nebraska City. They
are over 900 strong, are composed oi
AIissourians, South Carolinians and Geor-
gians, and are fully armed with cannon,
Sc, prepared for war. Their object IS to
stop the Free State settlers on their way
TO Kansas, through the Territory.
The news of this invasion reached Ne
braska City on Saturday, and caused great
excitement. About loo men Immediately
volunteered to go to the assistance OF IN
Free State settlers, and messengers Were
dispatched to learn the true state OF affairs
Some 50 men were also raised to go to the
laid of the Border Ruffians.
We gather the above facts from passen
tgers who arrived in the stage on Sunday
evening. and we presume they are in tbs
main correct. Persons from Kansas, b.
the same arrival. also report most disas
trous state of affairs in the Territory
The Free State men are everywhere beins
driven from their dwellings,, and compelled
to leave the Territory. The Pro-Slaver.
party seem to be determined now to max
i clean work of it, and drive every Northern
y man out of Kansas.
