is, that portion of it is employed in Kan
sas to maintain order there Unless the
troops shall be withdrawn from Kansas and
that Territory left to be invaded by bands
of fllibusters from the North and South,
the House refuses to vote dollar to any
portion ofthe army. Language is mad
cquate almost to express the Indignation
of every true American, that so irrelevant
a proposition should be tackled on to the
army bill.
The proper plan for the House is to
make its proposition of Withdrawing the
Kansas troops a seperate BILL 1t is
most villaineus proceeding to annex such
a ''rider" to an appropriation where it has
no business, and, of course. the Senate was
justified in rejecting it. The factionists
in the House seem determined that unless
their party projects are accepted by the
Senate to block up the wheels and revo-
lutionize the Government. If it insists at
the extra session, which the President has
properly called, upon its untenable, irrel-
evant and wicked proposition, a feeling
will be elected that will sweep Black-Re-
publicanism from the face of the land
An intelligent public will not sanction the
striking down of the army, because the
President, in pursuance of his oath of Of
fee to preserve the peace and execute the
laws. has found it necessary to employ a
portion of it in service which factionists
do not like.

More Kansas outrages.

In another column may be found the re-
port of further outragcs in Kansas This
intelligence was received on the same day
that Congress refused to pass the Army
Appropriation Bill, and is beautiful COM
ment on their act in paralyzing the army.
The reports are undoubtedly exagera-
ted, but if there is any truth at all in them,
they plainly show that the Abolition fill
busters are almost wholly to blame.
Abolition flibusters are invading Kan
sas, destroying property, and numbering
citizens, and an Abolition Congress refu-
scs to appropriate any money to support
the army for fear it will be employed in
keeping peace in that distracted territory
We have no room for further comments.

The Journal and IT'S Character.

The dishonesty of the Journal is such
that we feel streng inclination to pay no
further attention toit. Its editorials look
as if the editor had set down and written
what he supposed would be best fit were
only true, and then published them as
truth. He asserts and repeats that which
he knows to be utterly false. We make
no charge against him that we are not
willing to stand square up to and prove.
We have more than once proved that he
deliberately stated falsehoods, knowing
them to be such; for instance, he said
most emphatically, with capitalized NO,
that he did not publish Know Nothing
paper in Pennsylvania: We went to his
own Office and found file of such papers
that he did publish. We charged and
proved that he forged puff of himself and
the Journal. We have shown that he
contradicted himself over and again.
Now what does he do when the brand
of falsehood is on his face-when he is
convicted of the petty trickery of forging
a puff of himself? Does he blush and
hide his head as an honest man would
do? Docs he endeavor to explain and
palliate as man only part of the way
down the ladder of degradation would do?
No, he smiles as complacently as though
such things were creditable rather than
disgraceful. If he makes charge and
we disprove it, no matter how clearly, there
is no assurance that he will not repeat it
again the next week. He will publish q
CHARGE although he finds the proof of its
falsity accompanying it.
What is to be gained by contest with
such man? 1t is like fighting a skunk.
no matter how easily you may conquer it,
you are the worse for having engaged in
| the contest.
We now say to Mr.. P. H. Rinehard, i!
he denies one charge of the above weewill
prove it on him, and add another brand
to the number that now stains his name.

Proclamation by the President-An
Extra Session Called,
WASHINGTON, Monday, August lS.


WASHINGTON, Monday, August 49,
A Cabinet meeting this afternoon de-
cided on the following Proclamation by
the President of the United States:
WHEREAS, while hestilities with various
Indian tribes ON the remote frontiers of the
United States, and while in other respects
the public peace is seriously threatened.
Congress has adjourned without granting
the necessary supplies for the army, de-
priving the Executive of the power to
perform his duty in relation to the common
defence and security, and an extraordinary
occasion has thus arisen for assembling
the two House of Congress, do, therefore
by this, my Proclamation, convene said
Houses, to meet at the capitol, in the
City of Washington, on Thursday, the 2lst
day of August, hereby requiring the res
pective Senators and Representatives then
and there to assemble, to consult and de-
termine on such measures as the state of
the Union may seem to require.
In testimony whereof have caused the
seal of the United States to be hereunto
affixed and signed the same with my
hand
Done at the City of Washington, the
18th day of August, in the year of our
Lord, 1856, and of the Independence of
the United States the eighty-frst.
By order, FRANKLIN PIERCE.

ssoWe see by our exchanges that G. L.
Fallandinghain is the Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress in the Butler district,
and S., S. Cox in, the Columbus district.
BY making such nominations as these the
Democrats can add material strength to
or ticket in Ohio. 1t instils greater
zeal into the party their men as well as
their principles being noble and meritori-
Gus. These gentlemen stand among the
irst in the state for talent and stateman-
ship. Either of them in Congress would
be more valuable to the Safe than the
whole Fusion delegation that now repre-
sents,it and it will add little to the credit
of their districts of the voters there suffer
them to be defeated.

nominate such men we would have q list

An infamous outrage.

On the | 9Th inst. four young men from
the lower part of this county, named John
Kent, John Henthorn, Ezra Barker and
Elisha Barker went across the river and
committed brutal assault on very res
pectable old gentleman named Ankrom
and his wife. 1t appears that the party
took some observations Of the house of
the old people as they went down past it
in the forenoon, and ON their return in the
afternoon stopped and asked for some
thing to eat, which was kindly furnished
them. Not getting something that they
asked for, they, or sCme of them, fell to
swearing and abusing the old lady, and sh.
ordered them out of tie house. There
upon fight commenced. A son of Mr.
Ankrom, at some distance, hearing the
disturbance hurried to the house, and found
the two old people lying stretched out in
the yard, insersible. The scoundrels had
been warned of the approach of the young
man, by one of the party who was stand
! ing sentinel, and fed The latest accounts
from the old people, state that the old la
dy is improving but has not yet recovered
her mind; the old man, it is feared will
not recover; a frightful wound having been
made on his head by stroke with gun.
The old folks are aged about seventy
| Eve years, aud are said to have consider
able money in their house. Whether this
accounts for the assault or not, we pretend
not to say. Three of the party are now
in our county jail, but Elisha Barker, who
is said to be "head devil" among them, is
still hiding about in the woods of Jackson
township. There has been clan of mar
rauders infesting that neigborhood for
years, and it is hoped that portion of
them will now be sent to where they will
no longer keep the neighborhood in
terror.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON,
Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-


WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.
Since last week we have had the ad-
journment of one session Congress and the
call and assembling of another.
The army appropriation bill failed!! and
conjectures were rife as to the course which
President Pierce would pursue. Will he
disband that important branch of the gov
ernment at this important crisis, or call
an extra session? He has chosen to do
the latter. Many of the members were
thus officially notified at the railroad depot.
The presidents message to Congress
is an expansion of the proclamation calling
them together in extra session. He shows
the necessity of the passage of the army
appropriation bill, in reference to hostili-
ties existing with Indian tribes in the re-
mote portions of the United States, and
other respects in which the public peace is
seriously threatened. He shows the ne.
cissity of the appropriation in order to
keep up the army transportation aud
pay are indispensable.
The Senators again yesterday, upor
consultation, decided to limit the objects
of the session to the passage of the army
bill, and to adhere to their disagreement
to the House proviso. They re-affirmeG
this position to-day. But, very properly
they passed joint resolution, fer the pur
pose of sending to the President thos'
private bills which had failed for the rea
son that they were not sent to the Presi
dent in time. The, house may yet concur
in this order
The House before their recess to- da,
took such course as must necessarily en-
able Congress to pass the army bill with
out delay if the majority so chose. Mr.
Campbell reported the army bill, and sub
seqnently moved to strike out the provi
so, and unless the republican majority pur.
sue their reckless and factious course, tht
session may be terminated tomorrow
Upon the question whether the new pro
viso was in order, the Speakers decision
in The affirmative was sustained by mi
jority of sixteen The republican strength
is not diminished therefore, and the ma
nority may, from political motives, allow
the republicans to dispose as they please
of the question, on the suppositien that il
would be unfavorable to the republican
party.
If Congress adjourns without passing
the army bill they will be again called to-
gether.

The Fillibuster Lane-His Foray INTO
Kansas.

We published yesterday, by telegraph,
and give to-day fuller account of the re-
cent foray into Kansas of the notorious
Lane, at the head of an armed body of FL
libusters. 1t seems that that marander
with his men, some two hundred in num-
Der, made an attack upon the village of
Franklin. an6 that fight ensued, causing
the death of several persons, and leading
to scenes of pillage and confagration
We trust that the new Governor (Geary)
and General Smith will pursue these ma
rauding brigades, and that we shall soon
hear that they have suffered the penalty
for their attrocious crimes.
There is little doubt that Lane and his
band have beed melted to these acts of
villiany by the Black Republican leaders,
who publicly assert that they must keep up
the Kansas excitement for the purpose of
political capital. This band has been or
ganizing for some time, in Iowa and Nor
thern Illinois, to light up the flames of
civil war, which have been for the last few
few weeks extinguished in the Territory of
Kansas. Aid has been furnished the ex-
pedition for that rascally purpose by the
Greeleys, Beechers and Sillimans of the
North, whose political interests are suffer-
by peace and quiet in Kansas.
By singular coincidence the very day
that apprises us of this invasion of Kan
sas by Northern Freebooters, brings us
also the intelligence that the Black
Republican House of Representatives, at
Washington, adjourned without passing
the usual appropriation bill for the sup
port of the army, because the Senate reject
ed its irrelevant amendment that no part oi
the troops should be employed to preserve
law and order in that Territory. The Black
Republicans are anxious that the United
States troops--who alene are adequate
to maintain the peace against the irrup-
tion of Northern brigands, like Lane,
and of Southern brigands, like Buford-
should be withdrawn, knowing full vel
that such an act weuld be immediately
followed by bloody war in the Territory
which would probably, before it concluded
spread into the adjoining States. Bu
what care they for the consequences, i
they can thereby make political capital
by charging the disorders they themselves
have raised in Kansas to the Democrat,
party! Will not the people see from thi
move the real designs of these Kansa
shriekers?-Enquirer.

More Cutrages IN Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2l.
The Leavenworth City Kansas Jour-
nal of the 18th, contains lengthy accounts
of another outbreak in Kansas.
On the 18th, Brown, at the head of
200 free State men, attacked and drove
into Missouri colony of Georgians near
Ossawatimie. The colony were unarmed,
their houses were burned, and their prop
erty destroyed.
On the 18th Franklin was attacked by
200 men from Lawrence, who after dis
lodging IA pro-slavery men, by setting fire
to the houses they were in, robbed the
post Office of seventy dollars, and took
80 United States muskets and one piece
ofartillery from Mr.. Buckeye. They took
$425, q gold watch and $3.50 worth of
clothing from Mr.. Barnes, large lot of
clothing from Mr.. Crane, about $1,000 in
accounts and notes, and $125 in clothing,
and from Judge Fame a valuable horse.
Treadwell's party were on foot and it is
feared that most of them have fallen
Treadwell sent to Shannon for aid, who
called on the United States troops, but
they refused to act The anti-slavery men
are driving all the pro-slavery men out OF
Douglas Co., and destroying their proper
ty.
A fight took place on the l4th. near
Ossawatimie, between 200 Abolitionists
and IL pro-slayery men-the latter in a
fort, which resulted in killing Abolition
lists and wounding six others.
On the morning of the 18th Lecomp-
ton was attacked and taken, by 500 OF
Lanes men. The U. S. troops having
Robinson, Brown, Williams and others in
charge, surrendered without firing gun.
During the absence of Col. Titus, who
went for assistance to Treadwell, his house,
about two miles from Lecompton, was
burned and Mr.. Cloves, Editor of the
Southern Advocate, and Mr.. Systew, were
killed, and Andrew Preston wounded
