Sir:-COnsdering good hand writing TO be not
only an accomplishment, but means Of success to
every man engaged in business, greatly applaud
your meritorious exertions TO improve the ehiro-
graphy ofthe age. A gentleman or a lady either,
who writes badly, never writes willingly; and coDs
sequenty often fail to write when they should and
when they do write, Il is done at the last moment
with haste and impotence, and consequently with
faults OF all kinds, often committing and injuring
both the writer and the cause which he advocates.
Wishing you every success in your laudable un-
dertakings, remain yours, respectfully,
THOMAS Ii. BENTON.

Caution.

GEORGE DOUGLAS BREwERToN, the
Kansas correspondent of the Aes0 York
Herald, has written work which he is
pleased to term History of the War
in Kansas" We have not seen the book,
but from the character of the author, we
have not doubt it is . one-sided and very
partial report of the facts. He came to
Westport. and stopped at the Mission,
where he learned the pro-slavery asser-
tions as regarded the origin of the war.
Then he came to Lawrence and stopped
with US few days, but from the outset
he was recognized as the correspondent
of the Herald" and. from that fact, be.
lieyed to be prejudiced against The Free
State men. He did not have opportuni.
ties of informing himself fully as to oul
position, and must, necessarily, be poorly
qualified to do US justice. And then the
idea of his writing an impartial life Of
Gov. RoRIssoS or Gen. LANE is entirely
preposterous. To show where his pre-.
JUDGES were, let the reader turn to the
New York Herald, and read the state.
ments there in regard to that war. ON
purpose is to put our friends on theil
guard in advance against book in which
the people Of Kansas believe no conf.

one-sided statement they may become

January 25. 1856.
Mr. DEAR FATHER:-I never expected
to be called to write to yeuunder so great
affliction. My dear husband has been
very active in the cause of Liberty ever
siye we came into the Territory. His
bold and manly course won the respect
and confidence of the friends of free
State, and he was elected a member ofthe
Legislature. On the other hand, the ha-
tired of the pro-Slavery party was very
strong against him. He was engaged in
the defense of the City of Lawrence du-
ring the war in that region. He also,
with two or three others, rushed into the
midst of mob and rescued Free State
man they were cruelty beating. On the
18th inst, he, with several others. went
ten miles to attend an election; an armed
mob thought to break up the election,
but were repulsed. The next day my
husband and his friends were coming
home, when they were met by large
band of armed men, who stopped them
and made them prisoners. They were
all carried back to the place of election,
and there the others were let go, but they
determined to kill him-and then some
of them fell upon him with hatchet,
and thus in cold blood murdered him.
One blow struck OH the eyebrow, and
another inflicted deep wound in hi.

wagon, and brought him home in the
night. By this time he was in dying

about his cruel treatment. He said they
beat him like dog. He said: 81 am
