horses they could find, and committing
all manner Of wanton outrages upon per-
sons and property. The peaceful inhab-
itants were shamefully insulted, and their
lives put in jeopardy and threats of an
unparalleled grossness were made to seize
the helpless Quaker women and carry
them off to the Ruffian camp, with an OBJ
ject too shocking TO contemplate. The
inoffensive people were compelled to flee
for their lives, their property all stolen or
destroyed.
BY Gov. Shannon's agency an exchange
of prisoners was affected a few days since,
and the gun-a twelve pound brass how
itzer- captured from the Free Soil men
of Lawrence in May last, when the hotel
and printing Office were burned, was Civ
en- up by the Border Ruffians. This
was brought about through the media
tion of the United States Dragons, coop
Grating wish Gov. Shannon, and for time
it was even supposed that peace had been
concluded. 1t is said that the Border
Rufians have raised some 1000 men in
Missouri TO send into the Territory The
friends of Free Soil have 800 men already
and reinforcements have been sent for,
and are expected without delay. Should
the Missourians attempt to come here to
burn Lawrence and perhaps repeat the
vile outrages perpeirated by the Georgi-
ans on the peaceable and Industrious
Quakers, they will meet with desperate
and deadly reception!
