But the character Of the ladies is frequently the

here are generally from the most Northern of the
Southern States, Missouri and Kentucky, and are

education consists entirely Of accomplishments, y

accomplished and has many admirers. She has
tod them, however, that she will bestow her hand
only ON the young man who will bring her the
scalp OF an abolition woman. Delicate and almost
refined is she, and yet, with the sad story of poor
Philips wife before her, reminding her how deep.
~ free State women feel and suffer, she must on,
hcrod llerodias' daughter ard demand the scalr
of an Abolition woman. This remark is frequent

Yet this young lady is not to be looked upon ai
a monster of cruelty by any means; but this is TIT
natural effect produced upon her by the brutal, civi
war in which she has matured. and there are hun

who, if they had lived here for the last two yoars
would feel and act Just rs she does.

scale.
This is not merely n surmise, based on my knowl
edge of the character Of men arrayed agains

nation Of the plans and movements of these ma
RAIDERS, from those who have lately mingled with
them, and who have been their boon companion:
and the associates in their iniqnities.
Nothing but the report of the deeds will arouse
tho people of the Free States to d sense of oui
peril, and that Of the cause, and even that seem,
thus far comparatively Intellectual.
Not before the 4th Of March next can we hope
for another era than this of blood and pillage in
Kansas. Shall it be even then? We await the
answer of the people in painful suspense.

PRESBYTERIAN DODGING.

The Synod of the Western Reserve New School
Presbyterian recently held a session, during
which memorials on the subject of Slavery we're
presented. These documents asked the Synod,
to take measures to have Slavery entirely removed
from the Church, on failing in this, to take meas
ures for separating the New School Presbyierians
of the Reserve from the General Assembly. A.
sensible request for all who would not be found
complicated with the guilt of this Slavcholding
Church. The reply Of the Synod after much dis.
cussion, indicates a trifing with the petitioners
and the subject, altogether worthy of clerical sup
porters of chattel Slavery in the Church. If the
petitioners are in earnest they have no alternative
but withdrawal Immediately from such a syna.
gogueof Satan. as mus be a Church on theWestern
Reserve which fellowships Shareholders and
Slayo-lreeders as Christian men and women. The
following minute was finally adopted, as the con-
clusion at which this body arrived after its pro-
tracted discussion.
That the Synod Of the Western Reserve ARE uu-
c~ompromisingly and increasingly opposed to
Slavery in the Presbyterian Church, and that we
will not cease to labor by all lawful means for the
publication Of the Church. And in order to do
this most eifectually and speedily, we will remain
in connection the General Assembly.
The Ravenna Retormer, commenting on this
action of the Synod says
''This is n fine specimen of clerical lodging. We
have seen but very few specimens of the Rhetoric
Of siipperyness, more complete than the above,
We commend to this Western Reserve Synod &
similar course on several other questions. Lei
them resolve for instance, that We are uncompro
misingly opposed to sheep stealing, and as the
best means Of supprcsSing it, we will remain in
a Church which holds fellowship with sheer

STATE OF SOCIETY IN LEAVENWORTH

L~EAvENwoRTH, Kansas, Oct. G.
In my former letter on this subject. | spoke full,
ly and frankly Of tho character Of the Free State
men Of this city, ! propose now to speak brief
of the Pro-Slayery population.
The town Of L~eavenworth Cor city as they cal,
it here) is under the government and control of a
Vigilance Committee of Pro-Slavery men. i
is true, there is a Mayor here, and other officers
that claim 10 be legally appointed, but they are
entirely suboSdinate 10 the Vigilance Committee.
Tho Committee holds regular meetings, at which
it considers the character and political bias OF
every person in the place, residents and strangers
and then votes on the question of permitting them
to remain, or giving them notice to leave. If the
latter course is decided upon, the vote is sent
through the post-ofice, and frequently is kind
enough to state whether hanging, shooting or only
tarring and leathering will be the penalty of disc
bedience. This Committee takes cognizance OF
no oifense, except the capital crime Of being in
favor of making Kansas a free State. In fact. nc
smaller crimes arc thought worthy of notice here
Just now. Individual quarrels and assassination,
are considered private affairs. l have heard O
two cases of strangers being shot here within ;
week, but after diligent inquiry have not been abl,
to learn the name or residence of either. Nobod
seems to know or care any thing about it. Or i
they do know they are afraid to speak.
But of the brutal character Of the leading Pro
Slavery men here, it seems unnecessary to speak
1t is indclibly written, in the history of the town-
in the outrages of the last few weeks. The Joy
wretches who - their work are Of a tyYe wei
known in the Police Courts of every city. The,
~swagger through the streets, making them ech'
with their profanity, Two men are quarrelin,
violently under my window now. 1t is the secon
quarrel | have had to listen to since l commence
this letter.
The next larger class is of those men who wer
made without souls. They are pro-slayery vile
with proslayery, men, and free State to get fire.
