Laurence, K. T., Aug. IL Yesterday,
nearly five hundred free soilers marched upon
Col. Titus's camp, near Lecompton, and took
them prisoners. They defended themselves
from the log houses, and wounded ten, one
of whom, Capt. Chambers of Indiana, will
die. Col. Titus is badly wounded. The dra-
goons interfered to prevent the attack on Le-
compton. Our forces then returned, bringing
their prisoners with them. Gov. Shannon
came here today, demanding the release of
the prisoners. A conference was had, when
1t was agreed that they would release six pris-
oners, and elso the cannon taken from Law
renee, and disperse all their camps of armed
men, provided we would release our six pr
soners,
s.. Louis, Aug. "a Reliable intelligence

ton had not yet been attacked by Lanes par
ty although an attack was expected hourly.

thousand strong i'll the Territory, and are pre-
pairing to fortify Lawrence, in case a retreat to
any particular point becomes necessary.
1t is reported that four companies of U. S.
troops are near Lecompton, and it is thought
Their presence will deter further attacks.

call, signed bya large number of the most in.
huential citizens of this city, tor public
meeting to- morrow evening, to consider the
present situation of affairs in Kanzas, and ex-
press the opinion of the people of st. Louis

/ THE DEMOCRACY FOR FREMONT The Bos.
ton Journal of last evening. says, that among
the cheering signs of the times is the accession
to the Fremont ranks of many of the old line
Democracy, Abandoning none of their past
principles, many Democrats have declared their
intention TO support the Fremont constitutional
ticket, because it holds out promise of carrying
out those principles Of freedom and equal rights
which, when advocated by the Democratic party
they regarded Of far more Importance than
temporary issues. This movement of the true
Democracy is especially conspicuous in New
Hampshire. In that old Democratic stronghold
there are thousands of Democrats who voted for
Pierce who will do what they can in the coming
electionto redress some of the evils which his ad g.
minlstration has brought upon the country A
gentleman from Nashua recently stated that
within his own circle of acquaintance there were
t,oenty fUe Democrats who voted for Wells last
spring, who were now avowed Fremont men,"
S. Evans, tie author ofhe Philadelphia Plat.
form, on wAich Fillmore ao0s nominated, has an
nounced his purpose of taking the stump in
Pennsylvania in favor Of Fremont. He is an eff.
fective and able speaker.
According to the Richmond Wing, the Demo-
cratic majority which has existed in Virginia has
always come from the 5000 Germans beyond the
Ridge, who are now infected with the German
fever for Fremont"
The only Northern State which has held an
election since the organization of the Fremont
Constitutional party, is Iowa, and that has given
Republican majority Of over 5000 This State
went for Pierce in 1852 by 1000 majority In
September, three more Northern States will hold
their annual elections, viz. Vermont on the I'd,
California on the 3D. and Maine on the Sth

There has been in use in Columbus,
Ohio, for some weeks past, a three wheeled
pheton, which is said to work admirably, and
it is thought will introduce new style of We
hicles into use. 1t obviates the annoyances
now experienced in getting into our modern
four wheeled vehicles, and in turning them.
The front wheel is so arranged as to turn
steadily, and there is less friction and conse-
quently less resistance to draught.

South AMERICANS CoALEscING WITH Bon.
DER RUFFIAN DEMOCRATS. u Special despatch
to the N. Y. Tribune ~ as6jaqton. Aug,
25.--I am credibly informed that the Ameri-
can State Council of North Carolina have
determined to recommend all the lodges of
the State to cast their votes for Buchanan
instead of Fillmore. This edict has been pri-
vately communicated to the members of the
order, and there is no reason to doubt that
it will be carried out. The grounds for TAX
ing such course are that the late elections
have proved that Mr.. Fillmore cannot carry
single Southern State, while there is no
chance OF his receiving any electoral votes
from the North, and that it behoves the
South to present united front in such a
crisis as that she has now to pass through.

that an act has already been passed making
appropriations for that purpose. This bill ap-
propriated 100000 for Indian purposes in
Oregon, and to arrest the Indian war.
