The Latest Battle in Kansas,

II. G. Pate writes from Kansas to
the St. Louis Republican giving an
account OF a battle a company under
his command had, at Black Jack
Point, with free State men, in which
five of his men were wounded, viz:
r. A. Wood, E. McGoldrick; former
ly Of Georgia; James Mcgee, Of One
Hundred and Ten Greek, II. T.; J. B.
Lambert, late of Richmond, Va, and
Tim Connolly, who resides near the
battle ground. Mr.. Pate adds: !
Wood was shot through the throat,
the ball passed through the lung, and
out under theshoulder Blade; MeGold-
rick was shot in the mouth-teeth and
part of the tongue carried away
These two are thought .mortally
wounded--but are doing well. Jas,
AcGee wounded, but getting we'll
Lambert shot through the shoulder,
recovering; and Connolly wounded
in the thigh. / = /
When Nthe fight commenced our
forces were nearly equal, but / saw
that reinforcements for the abolition,
lists were near, and that the fight
would be desperate, and if they per.
sisted not one would be left to tell the
tale ofcarnage that must follow. Ma.

made breast work Of some baggage
wagons, but it did not prove, to be
sufficient means for security, and
! Capt. Pate ordered a retreat behind
the bank of the ravinc that they were
encampea by. BY this time the en-
,gagement was general. The tAboli-
ton party had decidedly the advan-
tage in numbers and fire ar,ns--they
were all provided with Sharp's rifles,
while the pro-slavery party had shot
guns and Mississippi rifles, giving
the Abolition party great advantage,
as they could keep ont of reach Of the
shot guns and at the same Il me do
great damage with their arms
Capt. Pate's men fought valliantlv.
+ During the fight, on the right OF
Maj. Washington, and very near him,
there was a. young man shot in the
breast and mortally wounded. ! Being
unable to use his gun any longer him
self, the Major asked him for his gun.
he deliberately, and told him to feel
in his vest pocket and get some caps.
The reason the Major done this, his
gun was a shot gun and the yonng
mans that was wounded was Il Mis-
sissippi rifle. About this time in the
engagement Capt. Pate saw lie was
in an unsafe position and would be
overpowered by numbers. LIP oEdcr
to get reinforcement, Capt, Pate
inquired who would volunteer to
break through the ranks and come to
Westport for a recruit. Maj. Wash
ington stepped forward and told. the
| Captain that he would SO. and attic
SAME time two other young men Of
ftre,l their services. The Captain
told:thcm to let Maj. Washington 90,
and one Of the young men pointed out
fine horse, and told him,to take it..
for it was onc:of the best horses in
the company; accordingly the Major
mounted and started amid vdlley Of
rifle bullets whistling around his
head. He escaped some distance.
though at length one Of the e4ep1y S
balls took effect, striking him in the
back, and going through twpfl annel-
shirts anlpenctrating the flesh SO as
to stick, wounding him slightly; for
tunatcly for the Major the force of
the ball was very nigh spent and done
him no great injury, He came from
the place of action to Westport,l in
less than half a day, a distance Of
about 43 miles, from which You may
Judge that he was well mounted
On arriving at Westport he was re-
ceived very kindly by Col. Boone,
who examined and dressed his wound.
On examination it was ascertained by
the Col. that in riding the ball had
worked out, and was in the Majors
Boot. The Col, took the ball To keep

to give you a statementEof facts gust
received from Kansas Territory
About 200 men under command OF
the U. S. Marshal marched out to a
point where the Abolition party was
stationed; bnt before they arrived the
Abolition party had dispersed. The
pro-slaxery party now started back
for Westport, a town situated about
three miles from the. Kansas line, in
the State of Missouri. In returning,
itseems that a small party Of the main
body was sent by the Marshal to
scour a:certain portion of country. :
They were commanded by Capt. z ate
and numbered thirty men, Inc AD-
olitiontparty saw this move, and as
towards will do when they shave. the
advantage, endeavored to use it. On
the morning of the I'd Of June the
5pro-slayery party was stationed on a
prairie near the bank of a ravine.---
Very early in the morning the spies
came in, stating that there was con.
siderable body of Abolitionists in
sight advancing on. foot. On hear
ing this Capt. Pate sent out Major
Washington to. reconnoitre. The
Major on advancing a short distance,
was full in sight Of the enemy. When
close enough to see them plain, he
sat on his horse and counted them,
They were al advancing in regular
line on. foot. At that moment he
was fired at by a man on horseback
on his right, the ball whistling over his
head. Il He rode back and reported the
facts that the enemy was closely APP
preaching in two bodies, one on
horseback. the other. on foot. The

is not to be expected that he will sup

to the interest Of his party to say that
Buchanan and Breckenridgewould sweep

that 1.-THE citizens of South Carolina can
