THE WOMEN FOR kANsAs.--One Ell the most
remarkable pecaliarties of the political contro-'
versy which now assates the country, is the in
terest which the women take in it. 1t will be
seen. i'll referring to our correspondence from
Chicago, that a Woman's Kansas Aid Society
has been formed in illinois, to which new meps-
bcrs are continually add ID The circumstances
OF the civil war in Kansas are of nature deeply
to move the feelings Of the more sympathetic
sex. 1t is u war of armed men, not merely
against their fellow-citizens the male settlers,
but against helpless women and children. o.
one side are the companies of ;ldyenturers with
out families from Missouri, Aaham and South
Carolina; and on the other, mingled with the de-
tenders OF freedom arc their wives, their moth
ers, and their children mostly o. " tender age,
since large proportion of those who have trans
planted their households, from tie tree states to
that renute western re- ion are ,nen OF the age
OF early manhood. si t
1t is this circumstance which, gives the war
waged against freedom a peculiarly horrible
character. 1t is a war against those who are by
nature defeneeless. We do not wonder, there
fore, that so great an interest in is progress has
been manifested by the woman OF all parts Of
orr country, and that notwithstanding the stor-
my character of the popular assemblies of this
city, they have not been wholly discouraged
from appearing at those which have been held IN
behalf OF Kansas ~ 3
The question between the people OF Kansas
and their prosecutors is one that cannot be kept
within the sphere ofcold argume, tation. There
are no subtlcties of words which cam eifectusily
delude the judgment when the feelings are once
| Awakened These are matters in which we
would trust the moral instincts OF wel-.niorm-
ed woman sooner than the Judgment of the most
practised statesman. Che Kansas pyaeston is
Il Il,
Is, but at tiresides, in family circles and pow
ertul movement is preparing which will carry
the entire North in favor of freed IN in the terri
tories Eszs+ ..#-

PrO.Slnvcry CaiSehOOds about Kansas.
The most mendacious of them that have fall.
len under our notice, have been communicated
to the St. Louis Republican by Mr.. H. C. Pate,
or Col. Pate, as he is usually styled. In that
journal ofthe 18th, there is a fresh batch from
the same source, with rellash of several old
ones. Lately, it will be remembered, he head
ed a company of Missourians, and was taken by
Capt, Brown at the head Of Free State party.
The circumstances of his rescue are tllus related
on good authority: @sa
When Col. Sumner found Brown and his pris-
oners, ne read to both parties the proclamation
OF Gov. Shannon, placing the Territory under
martial law. He then ordered Browns party to
go quietly to their homes, and turning to Pate,
said, what business have you here, sir?" Pate
answered II am here by order of Gov. Shan
nor" You are not, sir" replied Col Sumner,
and further remarked, "Issw Governor Sham
non yesterday, and your case was specially con-
sidered, and he asserts that YOU are none ofhis,
are not here by his orders, and have no business
here. You are Missouriaas, al! Of you, and when
you crossed your State line you trampled on
State sovereignty. Now go, sir, in the direction
from whe,ice you came" and thus speaking,
Sumner waved Pate's party to leave. Pate, not
grateful for thus being rescued from the hands
OF "inurderous Abolitionists,n turns round and
btiackguards COL Sumner, and it is reported has
been unkind enough to send the Coionela chai-
lenge. Iii also reported tina. a private in one
of the Colonels companies has taken up the ma {
ter, and gone out with Pate to answer the insult
offered to his commander.
