Freedom for Kanaas. |"

A Kansas Mass Meeting is to be held in Mil
waukee this evening. The object OF the meet
ing is "to raise men and money to aid the Free
State men of Kansas, when the Freemen of
Wisconsin agree that such assistance should be
rendered, and to give expression to the prevail
ing sentiment in the State" 1t is expected
that this will be large and enthusiastic meet
ing, and we certainly hope will be. 1t is time
such an expression of the sentiment OF the peo-
pie of Wisconsin was given. We doubt not a
large majority of the people of the State were
opposed 10 the Kansas-Nebraska act, when it
was first passed, and if they were opposed to
the act, how much more are they opposed to the
outrageous effects of that act. Although every
one anticipated disastrous consequences to the
cause Of &reedom from the contamination of
this scheme for Squatter Sovereignty, yet we
venture to say that the most gloomy snticipa-
tons have been far exceeded by the actual &C.
suits. And by as much as our apprehcnsions
have been more than realized, by so much more
should our condemnation of the act and its au-
thors, be increased
The sympathies of two thirds of the people
of Wisconsin will be with this meeting this eve.
ming and though comparatively but few OF
that number may be present, yet those who
are there will have the consciousness that they
are backed by a mighty moral force, that is
with them. The love of Freedom, of Free soil
and Free Labor, is strong in the hearts of the
people of Wisconsin, and they will not sit SUI
pinely and see that portion of our fair heritage
once dedicated forever to Freedom, invaded and
overrun and blasted by the curse of Slavery,
without raising voice or hand against il.

| Personal COLLISION IN CHICAGo.-The
Chicago Democratic Press, of Friday last, gives
the following account of an affair in Chicago r
which one of Uncle Sans officials came of
second best:
Yesterday morning about II o'clock as c. L
Wilson, Esq, editor of the Journal was pass
ing along Clark street near the State Bank, he
was met by the United States District Attorney
for the State of Illinois, Themes Hoyne, ESQ.,
Mr.. Hoyne accosted Wilson and told him not to
use his (HoKne's) name in his paper so often OF
he would wiring his nose for him. Wilson repli-
ed that he had better not undertake shat job,
when Hoyne struck Wilson a severe blow in the
face. The blow staggered Wilson somewhat,
but he rallied and pummelled Mr.. Perce's Off
cial pretty effectually. In the progress of the
fight Mr.. Hoyne was knocked through the show
window of the State hank, and safely deposited
among the other "smau COIN to the great con-
sternaton of the man of mammon. The editor
having handsomely pied his dignifed (') as.
sailant, the gentleman of briefs was permitted
to withdraw his suit without further damage 1t
is legal question which will not be likely TO fig
ure in the law reports of the State of Illinois
who shall pay for the elegant show window ol

Great Indian Battle

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.
Advices from Washington Territory received
at San Francisco on the day of sailing of the
steamer, gave particulars ofa grand attack made
on the goth of January, by the kilkitear Indians
upon Seattle, in that Territory. For four nights
proceeding the attack, the town had been carri-
soned by the officers and crew of the Decatur
At O'Clock A NJ ., on the 26th, all hands return
cd 10 the ship, but in short time word was sent
that the town was surrounded by the Kilkitears
The men were Immediately relanded, and the at
tack commenced by firing shot from the howit-
yer, which was returned by volley from the en-
tire rear OF the town. and the Indians at the same
time uttering terrific yells of defiance.
The firing was continued until 3, 2. NJ when
finding that the Indians could not be driven from
the woods, it was decided to settle the matter:n
a different way. The women and children were
sent on board the Decatur and Brontez, the citi
zens and marines were left in charge of the block
house, and the officers and crew aeturned to the
ship The batteries were then opened from the
Decatur, and grape, canister and round shot
poured upon the Indians in such quantities that
the main body of them retreated.
After night fall, shell and shot were thrown
wherever any signs of Indians appeared. By 10
O'Clock Z. NJ all was quiet. 1t was impossible
to ascertain the number engaged i'll the attack.
There are various rumors, from which we gather
that the Indians were from 700 to go strong. 1t
is also rumored that the Indians had IS killed
and 36 wounded On the sides of the whites on
ly two were killed, both civilians. The Indians
shot too high, and the bullets whstled over the
heads of our forces.
An attcak is feared upon Sailacom, as a short
time before the steamer sailed an express came
into the garrison with information that the In
dams had attacked some whites about S miles
from, the garrison:
The injury to the Decatur had been repaired.

itol of Washington Territory, and issued pro-
clamation calling for companies of volunteers.

Military Announcements fer the State

The following proceedings and debate occur
red in the Assembly on Monday of last week.
We copy from the Journals report:
The bill authorizing Sl2l2, AZ to Hitchcock &
Co., for military Announcements, was passed. -
$500 odd were for tents, 500 odd for horse PTS
tolls for Gen. McManman 6. Co.
Mr. Haul moved to reconsider the vote, and
stated that5:hc articles were ordered by Adjutani
General McManman, by authority OF Gov Bars
tow. Gov. Barstow had no authority TO author
ize anything Of the kind and it was an unheard
of transaction,
The vote was rcconsidercd.
Mr.. Hull moved that the bill be indefinitely
postponed.
Mr. Barney said he voted for it because it was
reported by the committee on claims, and hoped
the motion would not prevail.
Messrs Hawkins, Begcr, and Huntington,
members of the committee on claims, SAID such
a bill had been before the committee, but had
never been acted upon to their knowledge. 1t ha':
been reported without their consent or knowl-
edge.
Mr.. Bird oppose the motion to indefinitely
postpone, and wished to have the bill tabled for
the present, so that it might be taken up again,
if thought expedicnt.
Mr. Davis thought the statements OF members
of the committee on claims, sufficient evidence
that the bill should be killed.
Mr.. Mills said If this bill could slip INTO this
body in this manner, without anyoody's knowl-
edge, it was best to dispose Of it now 1t came
here like a thief and should be treated AS such.
Mr.. Chappel, the chairman of the committee
on claims, said the State had the property and
ought to pay for it. He thought the committee
had agreed to report the bill.
Mr.. Thomas. Of Marquette, thought the bill
should pass. The State needed the arms. They
needed them at the time. and the Governor and
Mr.. McManman took the responsibility OF order
ing them.
Mr.. Burchard was not aware OF the existence
of any special necessity on the part of the State,
for tents and orse-pistols.
Mr. Hawkins wished to have the bill referred
to the committee on claims again, that nc might
know whether the pistols were one-horse pistols
or two-horsc pistols.
This reference was finally made.
