MORE OF TIE KANSAS OUTRAGEs-BRUTAL
MURDER.
ondence of the New York Tribune.

LEAvEYwoRTH CITY, dug. %, 1856.
Yesterday morning, company of FIVE wag
ons, from Lawrence, were stopped, eight miles
from Leavenworth, on their way here, by a
band of twenty or thirty Pro-Slavery men.
There were twenty persons belonging to the
wagons, three of whom were women. They
were mostly passengers. The whole twenty are
held as prisoners Several of them have been
brought to town, and are held in custody here
Among the latter are the Rev. MIR. Mute, of
Lawrence, a brother-inlaw of Mr.. Hops, the
man who was murdered and scalped near here
a few DAYS since. He came with the widow of
the murdered man, to recover his body and
effects These people are robbed of everything,
and kept as prisoners, having committed no
offence whatever.
German, named Pimpel, from Lecompton,
who was among the prisoners, was shot IN our
streets Yesterday, for having been seen in CON-
pany with Free State men, and for attempting
to run away when taken to be put into contine-
ment. He was killed instantly.
Several of our citizens are prisoners IN the
| camps of the Pro-Slavery men, among whom
are Messrs. Leavitt, Ide, and Patrick. a boy
who was taken with them has been released,
| and has arrived in town.
1t is reported that Mr.. Patrick was hung yes
terday, to satisfy personal affair between him
and one Lise, who lives here.
/ cannot tell you of onehalf the horrors
passing around me. Armed ruffisns are riding
about our streets, thFoHging every highway.
| Our only hope is, that Lane will rescue Us.

and we therefore hope that every man who val

Buchanan, of Pennsylvania intriguing syc-

BROOKS AT HOME.-No reader should over
look the account of the reception given to
Brooks, on his return to South Carolina, which
will be found in to-day's Era. His speech is
as reasonable in spirit as it is despicable in
taste Let it be noted that he is the hero of
South Carolina-is received at the State capital
with all the honors of a triumph, for his heroic
achievement in attacking and beating an I'M
armed man in his seat-a fitting exhibition of
South Carolina chivalry. He is not only the
favorite of South Carolina, but of the whole
sham Democracy of the South.

On Thursday afternoon, the Hon. Preston S.
Brooks being expected by the afternoon train,

were In waiting, he did not reach the city until
4 o'clock yesterday morning, having been de-
tained by his friends and admirers in the upper
districts.
At an early hour on Thursday morning, the
arrival of Mr.. Brooks being known, many of
his friends called at his quarters, and com
mittee of citizens waited upon him, especially
to urge the propriety of his remaining over one
day, notwithstanding his anxiety to reach home
at as early period as possible. The annexed
correspondence will show the result of the &C.
ton of the committee, through their chairman,
the Hon. Mayor Arthur:

IN any State, the minority voters would not be
willing to lose their votes; and, to avoid that
result, they might make general stampede to
some neighboring doubtful State. So endless

correspondence OF the New York Evening Postl
Washington, Sept. 2.-Speaker Banks goes
North this afternoon. and may halt day or
two in New York. He will be received by the
deserved congratulations of his Massachusetts,
friends whom he has not visited during the
past nine months. The old residents of Wash
ington say that, within their recollection, no
Speaker of the House has brought to the Chair
the same combination of dignity, fairness, and
parliamentary ability, as has been displayed by
him.
One of his most accomplished political oppo-
nents, a Representative from the South, declared,
in speech, that he had graced his position as
it had not been graced for thirty years. 1t was
fortunate omen for the heterogeneous party
which formed the opposition to the Administra-
ton in the House, that they commenced the
session by the choice of such presiding Off
Ger. The wisdom of their selection has been
manifest every day of their deliberations. In
deed, on several occasions, his prudent skill has
saved the free Kansas Representatives from de-
feats which would have told dsastrously upon
their cause throughout the country; and what
ever success they may have obtained, is largely
due to his unequalled Craftsmanship and politi-
cal sagacity. His election marked an era in
our history.
For the first time, the interests Of the ma ority
OF the non-slaveholdng population OF the coun-
try met face to face with the party of Slavery
propagandism, and prevailed. AS the chosen
leader in that memorable struggle, Mr.. Banks
has attained, in the eyes of his countrymen, a
position to which, by singular good fortune,
he was entitled by higher qualifications than
the accidental support Of a dominant party.
Speaker Banks is still growing man, but it is
safe to predict that his commanding executive
ability will expand to the measure of any sphere
of public duty to which the people may yet
summon him.
