NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Congress is advancing slowly to its work on the
Kansas question. The case Of Reeder has been
referred to the COMMITTEES On elections, which has
applied for permission to send for persons and pa
pcrs. The question has originated some sharp
discussion. The Presidents Kansas Message
was referred to he Committee Of the whole on the
state of the Union. Much to the regret of the
friends of freedom who desired it referred to the
Committee on Territ cries TINT thus they might
secure more speedy action.
In the Senate, Mr.. Wilson has made a speech
on the Kansas question, which has considerably
aroused the opposition of the slave;tes.
The President is pressing forward his coopera-
ton with the Border Rufians, with yigor, and in
dispatch and pronptness o~ut-strips the action of
Congress. He has dispatched Shannon to Kansas
in great haste, that be may arrive there before
the 4th Of March, when the Free State Govern
ment goes into operation. lie carries with him
authority to dispense that government. lie has
in his pocket a proclamation for the purpose, and
# the reading Of the proclamation fails to dispense
the Rebels against the authority of the mock Leg
~islature, he is authorised to cali upon tho United
States troops and with their bayonets enforce ODE
dience if he can. Shannon left Washington post
haste on Saturday. We subjoin the Geographic
notices of the events at Washington, relative to
this absorbing question.
SHANNoN's INSTRUCTIONS New York, Feb. Is.
A Washington correspondent Of the Herald tele-
graphs; Governor Shannon left this afternoon for
Kansas. lie will travel night and day till he reach
es Shawnee Mission. The President desired him
to arrive there before the Free State Legislature
assembled at Topeka the 4th of March next. lie
has full power, | understand, to arrest the mem.
bers OF that Legislature, as its meeting is deemed
to be an overt act, and as such deserving seTere
punishment. If he carries out his instructions. il
il thought by gentlemen now here, residents of
Kansas, that there will be a collision betw cen the
federal authorities and Free State men.
Washington, Feb. 10.
Mr.. Wilson concluded his speech relative to
strongly condemning the course Of Atchi-
son and Gov. Shannon.
Mr.. Geyer asked Mr.. Wilson on what authority

Kansas armed to control the election
Mr.. Wilson replied, on the authority of General

. FUGITIVE SLAVE FROM A VIRGINIA
CHURCH.

To run away from Slavery has been declared to
be to run away from God. The 'Church of Jesus
Christ at Union, Fauquier County, Virginia" has
pronounced communication against one of its
members FOR running away from his master and
seeking Freedom in the North. This negro who
so "disobeyed the laws of God and man, in the
language of that Church of Jesus Christ" was
and by the active endeavors OF President
Pioree and his agents, and the agents of Cotton
and Doughfacery, was restored to the Christian
Society of Union and the pious master who be.
walled his slaves backslidin into Freedom and
Massachusetts. After a season of repentance
under the exhortations of the rawhide and the
John Clark, this fugitive church member was
out of Slavery with Northern dollars and
to himself. Taking tho gift.he straight.
way went with it to 0berlin, Ohio, to educate II
or the ministry. Arrived there, he wrote back to

THE DEMOCRATS AND GOV. CHASE.

The Democrats have been terribly agitated dur,
ring the last two weeks. Tho Unreasonable Doc.
ument" from Salem and Governor Chase's Kansas
Message coming so near together, have we'll nigh
upset them. Especially coming as they did Just
upon the heels of Mr.. Browns resolution, relative
to the fugitive slave case in C Cincinnati. To have
the Legislature interfere against kidnapping-to
have any public sympathy manifested for the
thousands Of citizens of Kansas who are threaten
ed to be overrun by a horde whose savageism out
strips that of Glths and Vandals and especially
to have that great bulwark Of slavery, the Ameri-
can Union, assailed,-it is too much for the De.
mocracy to bear. They yaunt their patriotism,-
curse the Republicans. aud like the man in Bible
History, they despailingIy cxclaim "ye have taken
away my Gods and what have | more" The
friends of liberty must make their efforts in small
installments and at long intervals, If they have any
regard to the excitable nerves of their Democratic
neig hbors.
See from the following how they cast their eff.
orts on the side of the Border Rufians, who with
Pierce at their head are now threatening to extend
slavery by fire and sword.
In the House of Representatives, while theKan.

Mr.. Sawyer rose to express his establishment

With this bull Of cxcommunication went n letter
from the pastor, which pitches into poor Burns in
a fashion which would be called diabolically vicious

Messengers have been arriving almostdaily dur.

bringing intelligence Of the movements of the Dor

attack ON horseback, probably after night-of two
or three hundred persons, meeting simultaneously
from different points, and that they propose the ar

to flee as they came, to make another attack after

victims, as was the case with the martyrcd Il own.
Generals Robinson and Lane have adopted pre-
cautionary measures, and organized n regiment,
and placed the several Forts in charge of suitable
persons, and those are being guarded night and

tons of war are being collected, and will be held

The Disiouion question is one of the best tests
of the depth and genuineness Of the anti.slavery
feeling of the country. The Union is the politi.
cal God which the people have worshipped, They
immagine that by it, they have their pecuniary
and political prosperity, and they refuse for the
sake of freedom to the slave to question the diyin-
ity of the Land that bestows them. Hence they
have secuted every proposition for a discussion Of
this question, and denounced all who have dared
to advocate it. But this intense devotion to the
Union is losing somewhat of It's power. Thanks
to the discussions of the Disunionists of the North
to the treats of Southern secessionists and the
of Slavery propagandists. We see this
in the reception this memorial has received from
the Legislature and the press of the State.
