A missionary in Kansas writes to The american
Missionary as follows
IEAvENwoRTH CITY.
We are living in the midst of perilous times in this
part of the Territory, and apprehend serious trouble
from the awless conduct of the Borderer. Maddened
with whisky, they boodthrsty as savages. You
have account of dreadful murder lstely COM
mted. This last victim, Reese +. Brown, was q
brave, nobe-hearted man. He went to Lawrence
during the troubles there and served with distinction
among ns defenders. His boldness and energy were
the very qualities which disposed the Rufhans" to
marx him for death. He lived few miles from town,
and 10 intmidated were men on account of these out
RACES, that physician could for q long time be OBJ
tain. d to examine his wounds; and he was buried
without an inquest. When reached his house he was
still lying in his bloody garments. | assisted to
remove them and prepare the body for burial and
deayored to administer the cOnsoatons of the Gospel
to bis poor, heat-brohen wife. They were young
people in slender circumstances have been solicit
ing aid from the friends in her behalf She has
engaged me to preach his funeral We expect
to go Lawrence for this purpose account of the
excitement here. Over this part of the Territory
reign Of terror prevails. On south side OF the Kan
River the people in excellent spirits aud as
hopeful as ever. Here many people speak IN an I'M
der.tone while conversng our affairs, lest Pro
Slavery men should overhear them.
Tie Rev. Mr.. Martin, an Old School Presbyterian
Minister was lately driven away from the Pro Slavery
town Of Kickapoo, which il few miles up the river
l suppose he is a Free State man of very moderate
character. His house was torn down while be was in
T. Ibis latter act OF violence arose N part, II not en-
tirely, on account of conflict Of land claim Some
Prostate have left this part Of the Territory and
Others would if they could leave without pecuniary
sacrifce doubt whether ought to leave at present
The design Of these acts Of ProSavery violence is to
drive away, and keep Others of like character from
coming H. Our present intention Is TO remain here
till Spring, unless driven off by force Of The
BoIderers threaten to make forcibe inroad TO drive
off all FreeSate settlers, and in the present situation
OF affairs they could do it. They have organized mill
ary bands, and easily gather large force at any
point; While the part of the FreeState men there
are NO arms, or organization, in this region We shall
know before long what their purpose is for they say
they will make a clearance of US before navigation
opens This occurs about the LIT Of March. / enter
tain the opinion that there il sound than fury in
this threat. They will rejoice to have it done but will
hesitate about the doing of it.
II is doubtless necessary for the interests of freedom
ard righteousness in country, that the savehold
ing spirit should develop its cruelty and madness here
/ wonder not that some stumble at the providence Of
God. An intelligent American Catholic lately said to
II seems as if our Heavenly Father leaves US to
suffer here than He ought" He said his wife
lived in terror she him before retiring to rest
put rife under his bed and revolyers under his pill
low and she was intent leaving the Territory. But
" the Lord regnetb let the world rejoice" think /
see His hand in ali these affective provdences through
which we are called TO pass. thrust SHAREHOLDERS are
il fictifg deadly wounds on the accursed system,
while they seeking to spread it over the land. IL
is hard 10 neighbors killed in cold blood for
their own liberty; but their blood is swift witness
sgans oppression, and Oh may its day of destruction
hasten on
