tFrOm the st. Louis Republican. 2oth.)

The steamer Polar Star arrived from the
Missouri River yesterday, bringing the latest
news from that quarter To one of the Off
GERS we are indebted for what follows:
Col. Lane, and his army of the North p
were still stationed at Lawrence, numbering
over 1000 men. a . -
When the boat landed at Atchison, it was
reported that battle came off on the previous
day at Hickory Point, the particulars Of which
were thus stated by gentleman just arrived:
! A party of about fifty Law and Order men,
under the command of Capt. Robinson, were
attacked by about two hundred Insurgents,
under the command Of Col. Harvey, of Chica-
go. The Insurgents, after having continued
the attack for several hours, finally sent in a
flag Of truce, and proposed if they would have
a drawn battle they would deliver up all the
horses and cattle which they had stolen, and
would agree not to commit any more depreda-
tons in that section of the Territory. The
Law and Order men agreed to the proposition,
and let them slide. Capt. Robinson was Sc
verely wounded, a ball passing through his
hips, and nearly all the Law and Order men
were more or less severely wounded by balls
or splinters from the cabins in which they
were defending themselves. Ten of the In
surgents were killed and some twenty wound
ed.
The day before the battle at Hickory Point,
Capt. Robinson went to Grasshopper Falls,
and defeated force of about one hundred In
surgents, under the command of one Crosby.
Capt. Robinson also captured all their stores
and ammunition, consisting of property stolen
by the Insurgents Two of these men were
killed, and they all left their horses which
were taken by the Law and Order men.
The Insurgents who were defeated at Hick-
DRY Point were the same body of men who
robbed all the merchants at Osawqua and
EastoR, and killed two men on Stranger
Creek.
At Leavenworth, it is remarked, that every
body bad Uanaosed the ranche-stores and all
houses were closed, and the streets deserted.
There were about six hundred United
States troops at Fort Leavenworth, and about
nine hundred at Lecom pton-making fifteen
hundred in the Territory. Gov. Geary was
at Lecompton with the United States troops.
These are the reports as gathered by the
Polar Star. Sufficient time had not elapsed
to see the effect of Gov Geary's proclamation,
and the declaration of his intention to main
tain the peace at all hazards. We hope that
he will be able to do this, and that the next
advices will bring news of a settlement Of the
question at issue, without further resort to
arms.

warning the Democracy that if they do lot
bestir themselves vigorously and instanter,
that Alabama viii be carried for Fillmore. 1t

GFThe Terre Haute Express says that let
tiers have been received from Kansas by the
mothers and brothers Of A. G. Patrick, which
confirm the report of his death at the hands of
the Buchanan men, near Leavenworth. 1t
viii be remembered that the State Sentinel on
the 10th Of May last, explicitly approved the
beating which its partsans gave Patrick short
time before, for exposing some of their election
outrageS, and A. P. Willard, the Rufiian can
didate for Governor, explicitly declared at
Greencastle that "he deserved to be hung.'-
IIe was an honest and harmless man. and his
mother probably entertains different opinion
from Mr.. Willard or the Sentinel.

DETECTING THE HyPocRITEs.-Mr. Murray's
''Handbook for South Italy'' contains some
curious stories respecting Fra Rocco, the cell
ebrated Dominican preacher, and the spiritu-
al Joe Miller of Naples. On one occasion is
is related, he preached on mole q penitential
sermon and introduced SO many Illustrations
Of terror. that he brought his hearers to their
knees. While they were thus showing every
sign of contrition, he cried out: Snow all or
you who repent hold up your hands'" Every
man in the vast multitude Immediately stret-
ched out both his hands. fsHoly Archangel
Michael,'' exc claimed Rocco, "thou who
with thine adamantine sword standest at the
right of the Judgment seat of God, hew off ev-
cry hand which has been raised hypocritical-
l!'' In an instant every hand dropped, and
Rocco of course poured forth fresh torrent Of
eloquent invective against their sins and their
deceit. I

Brother. art thou poor and lowly,
Toiling, drudging day by day,
Journeying painfully and slowly
On thy dark and desert way
Pause not, though the proud ones frown
Shrink not, fear not-Live them down
Though to vice thou shalt not pander;
Though to virtue thou shalt kneel,
Yet thou shalt escape not SANDER,
Gibe and lie thy soul must feel;
Jest of willing, curse of clown;
Heed not either-Live them down.
Hate may WELD her scourges horrid;
Malice may thy woes describe
Scorn may bind with thorns thy forehead ;
Envy's spear may pierce thy side
Lo : through cross shall come the crown,
Fear no foemen-Live them down.
