- HTHrIGGJ - s..'s-.


We call the special attention of our readers
to tho letter Of Jefferson Buford, ESQ, of Eu-
fauIa, Ala. He proposes 10 raise a company of
300 emigrants, and to start with them for Kan
.as by the Goth February. To effect this OBJ
ject he proposes to invest $4,000 Of his ample
fortune in the undertaking. He offers to each
smigrint free passage to Kansas, support
for the first year, and forty acres of the best
land in this world. Major Buford is too we'll
known in this community TO need commenda-
ton at our hands,. He, is q, South Carolinian
By birth, an ardent friend Of Southern Rights,
"a Sold and fearless man, and the leading lawyer
Of the circuit. He is also man of fortune,
and is willing to expend part Of it in the enter
prise. AT our instance, lie has consented 10
if il be agreeable to the members of the Kan
sas Emigrant Aid Society, he will develope his
plans to them and beat up for recruits.
An opportunity is here offered to the friends
Of Southern settlers in Kansas to give them eff
'cieps aid. The whole South is being agitated
upon the subject. Virginia has already sent
osss large body of emigrants. But the other
day Ar. Careyle took out AZ settlers from Griffin,

,Erpor TIE WAR m KANSAS.

The telegraph has announced The fact that
hostiIities in Kansas between the Free States
sffd the pro-slavery men have ceased! We find
the following in the st. Louis Democrat of the
I9 mst. 90, -. -. .2ss.- =:
we had an interview last evening with Gen..
oral Shanklaud, just returned from The scene Of
the late difficulties in Kansas, giving US very
interesting information Of the present position
cf affairs in the territory. He Informs us that
ths report published in Til. city yesterday after
noon Of tho surrender of their aru1s by the
people Of Lawrence is totally incorrect. -,
The propositions Of peace came from Atchl-
son and Shannon, At a council held. 10 Lawrence
last Friday and Saturday, at which a treaty OF
pesce was concluded. To the demand made
upon them TO obey the Laws and deliver up their
xsps,, tho people Of Lawrence responded by
protesting their constant willingness 10 do the
former but fatty refusing to yield to the latter
point. ;. =. =: -.
On these terms hostiiiies were terminated,
and the Missouri troops received orders on Sat-
urday morning 10 disband. The MissouriaDs
were armed with reyelyets and double -barrelled
shot guns1 ana were for the most part mounted.
Tbry were encaaspet at WaEarusa, on the road
ftsa Lawrence to Westport six miles from the
former place, aud at Leeompton, on the Kansas
river, ten miles west of Lawrence, being at no
time more ihtn six hundred strong at Wakarusa,
or' more than Two hundred at Lecomptdn.
The Free State men amoun: el to seven hundred
in Lawrence, al armed with Sbarpes rifles,
saliLe t@o hundred more could have easily been
gathered from the adjoining county, and were
therefore IN no fear of the result had a collision
unfortunately arisen.
The disbanding gaze rise TO general murmurs
and cxecrations of Shannon among The Missouri
troops. Most Of them reached Westport on
Sunday night, having. suffered intensely during
the preyienssnight f2ofh afefFfble storm of rain,
snow AVID wind, which Nominated in piercing

THE PROSPECT OF PEACE.

By the latest intelligence from Europe there appears
to be strong likelihood Of an early restoration Of
peace between Russia aud the Allies. II would seem
to be tho result Of Austrian intervention. The terms
while conservative Of the national. honor Of Russia,
are considered decidedly advantageous to the Ales
The Black Sea is TO become strictly commercial sea,
open to the ships Of all nations, but utterly closed
against vessels Of war from whatever quarter Even
its shores to be dismaned of all military dernces.
Russia is also to give up all control the Danube,
its different branches and both its mouths. And
either party 10 The foot its expenses as
they may. Such is the sum and substance Of tins
news Of peacs and it is thought, from the reliability
Of the channel through which comes, that i, may be
believed.
lfit is really so, the concession should bs readily
made that the Allies have acted in manner worthy
Of two great nations. To have made the Black Sea
highway for the commerce Of the world, where every
flag shall float hnforbdden and unmoIested, is an
achievement every way worthy Of the exalted Chris
tian age in which we live. Should their course to-
wards Turkey be stamped with similarly highland
enlightened policy, France and England will have
tanned more elevated position than the subuga,on
Of the whole Russian Empire could have given them.
