As Gov. Robinson and myself were
passing down the Missouri River on our
way to St. Louis and further east, upon
affairs of business, we were taken off the
boat at Lexington, at the ihstigation of
lawless men, they pretending that Gov.
r. was fleeing from an Indictment. He
assured the gentlemen, some eight or
ten in number, who gathered about our
stateroom door, opening upon the guard,
that such was not the case; that he had
heard of no indictment; that his where
abouts, whether in Lawrence or else
where, was at all times known that if
the Marshall had desired to serve such
n process on him, he could easily have
done so, and he should have offered no
resistance. He told them also that he
would never think to escape from an in
dictment for any political o%ffensc, and
had he been doing so, of all places he
would have avoided the Missouri river
and Lexington. Upon the statement o.
the gentlemen that the delay in consent,
ing to leave the boat, as the crowd had
found the bar and were drinking freely
only added to Gov. RS danger of per
sonal violence, he said. "Let me see tn,

The steamer Star of the West arrived
at this port yesterday morning from
Karsas. She left that town on Satur
day, and from passengers on board We
have the following account of occurrcn.
ces on board that boat at Lexington.
On Saturday morning, about Z O'Clock
among other passengers who came or
board, WINS Chas. Robinson, the bogu.
Governor of the State CT Kansas, will
his family. lie was recognized BY Capt
James III. Adams, of Clay county, who
gave information that Robinson vas flee.
ing from the Territory, in consequence
of an indictment having been found
against him for treason, by the Grand
Jury of the United States District
Courts. During the passage, Robinson
kept his room, generally, with his fam.
lily. .
At Lexington, Gen. Shields, Mr.. Saw.
yer, and a number of the most RESP ecta-
bic citizens of that place, came on board
the Star of the West upon her landing,
and called upon the Captain to kuow
whether Robinson was a passenger with
him. They were told that there was a
gentleman answering to that name.
Captain Parkinson, of the boat, and Mr..
Barnard, of Baltimore, Immediately had
an interview with Robinson, and told
him of the presence of the Committee,
and of the grounds of their action-that
he was fleeing from the Territory to
avoid the Indictment which had been
found against him for treason, and that
they intended to arrest him. He said,
in explanation, that he learned from one
of the grand jury that an attempt had
been made to find a bill against him, but
that it had failed. This did not satisfy
the Committee, and Robinson proposed
that the citizens of Lexington should
send a Committee with him to st. Louis.
where the facts could be ascertained.
But they were determined that he should

of the Captain and Mr.. Robinson, he
agreed to submit and go with them to
the town. He was offered the choice
of the City Hotel, or rooms at the pri.
vate residence of Mr.. Sawyer, and chose
the latter.
1t is also stated that the Committee
agreed to send a special messenger to
Kansas to ascertain whether an indict-
ment had been found against him. and
if not all the expenses Of his detention
should be paid.

Editor Ashland Union !: SIR :-As you
appear to be laboring with commendable zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and pc
cuniary welfares, permit us to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have Just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock We deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who will favor US with a call viii fndit
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles of
every style, variety and quality of Ladies'
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear,
together with a large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Q~ueeDsware, Groceries, &c.
Having changed our mode of doing. business,
it will be proper for us to state, for the salts
faction CT our old customers, briefly, our rea-
sons for so doing. Our first great object is to
sell goods CHEAP. To do this We must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid The losses of bad debts and +" long wind
ed customers we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do ; lst, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save US 10 per
cent, 2nd, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk /; Sd, we viii save 5 per cent, for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered, we
think it safe to say that it will make q differ
ence of at least IS per cent. to the consumer.
This being true We, think every man., woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves Of the advantages of this sys-
tenn. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods. of course care butlittle about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap forrea
dy pay can find a stock of goods which for va
riety, styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on their
friends and ~wtll-vishcrs,

Fever and Ague--An Infalible Cure

We defy tho world to produce any medicine which
does not contain Quinine, Bark Arsefic, Mercury
