To the Editor of the National Era /:

To the Editor of the National Era:
perceive that you offer to send q copy of
the Era for the next four months for every fifty
cents forwarded you. The present most peril
Gus position of our country seems to call for
the united, cordial efforts of our citizens, how
ever lofty or lowly their several positions, to
save all that we hold most precious from the
threatened ruin. Especially ought Christians
now to labor and to make sacrifices, as well as
to pray that the Almighty, in his sovereign
mercy, may avert the terrible consequences of
our great national sin, OPPRESSION 1t is, in
deed, righteous retribution, that the oppressor,
if he do not repent, be himself oppressed
crushed in the very dust. The Lord grant that
this be not our fearful doom / am, you know,
but poor preacher of the Gospel, and yet 1 feel
that l must do something for my beloved coun-
try, in this her hour of sorest need. On the last
Sabbath, congregation gave me five dollars
for filling their pulpit. This I now enclose to
you, with the request that you will please send
ten copies of the campaign Era to as many
readers. Such a document will, l doubt not,
be one of the best means of opening the eyes
of our people to the imbecility and wickedness
in high places" that have already brought
such miserable evils upon US, and will, unless
successfully resisted, speedily involve all we
hold dear-civil and religious-in one common
ruin. A MINISTER OF CHRIST.

THE PRO-sLAvERY OUTRAGE AT LEAvEN-
WORTH.

The st. Louis Democrat publishes the state
ments of several leading merchants and citizens
of Leavenworth, who were among those driven
out by the mob. We copy one of the cases, as
follows,
"The undersigned has been practicing
physician in Weston, Platte county, mo, from
the spring of 1889 to the last of April, 1854

resided in Weston and vicinity; and, feeling a
lively interest in the unparalleled growth and
future prosperity of the place as one of the
original proprietors, and owning large num-
Der of lots that must be exceedingly valuable if
Kansas should be made free State, and be-
lieving that the advantages for education, in

LATEST FROM KANsAS-RELIABLE PARTICU-
LARS

Mr.. 81. S. Honnold, one of the men who had
charge of the Santa Fe (McKinney's) train, cap
tured by the Free State men, called on US this
morning, and related the particulars of that &C.
currence, and other events in X ansas. The train
was captured on the LIST, by party of men I'M
der Capt. Cutter-not Brown, enormously sta
ted. 1t consisted of three mules, three horses,
and sixty-six head of cattle. The baggage of
the teamsters were searched, and their arms
and ammunition taken from them.
While in charge of their captors they were
well treated, no cruelty or indignity, other
than the searching of their carpet-sacks, being
offered them. On being released, they were
given one of the wagons and six oxen, to con-
vey themselves to Missouri with. Word was
sent also to the owners of the train, that they
could have their property by coming after it,
and that it should be preserved for them. Two
other trains, Rent's and Campbell's, which it
was feared would be captured also, were allow
ed to pass unmolested by the Yankees who
gave as their reason for capturing McKinney's
train, that Mckinney was an active Pro-Slavery
man, engaged with the Pro-Slavery army.
The " Yankees told the captives that they
had under arms 1900 men-900 at Lawrence,
500 between Lawrence and Leavenworth, and
400 between Lawrence and the Pro-Slavery
camp at Boil Creek. These forces are all I'M
der the regular military discipline, no man be-
ing allowed to leave the army of his own accord,
as in the case with the Pro-Slavery army. They
told them also that they had no idea of attack
ing the Missouri towns. They seemed to be &C.
curately posted in regard to the position, aims,
and movements, ofthe Pro-Slavery forces, as all
they told the tesmsters was found by the lat
ter to be correct, on their arrival at the Pro-
Slavery camp.
When our informant left the Bull Creek camp,
on the 4th, the greater part of the Missourians
were leaving, too, end not one more than fifty
men were left. The determination, however,
was expressed, to return on the 18th, and attack
Lawrence.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-09-18

pieted the entire rout of the Free State men,
several of whom, in attempting to cross the
| stream along which the fight ragged, were shot
IN the water, and were either instantly killed,
or so badly wounded as not to be able to save
themselves from death by drowning.
One of our informants states that he saw the
body of Captain Brown in the water. He knew
it was him, by his coat and hat. Seven Of the
Free State men were captured, after which the
town was set on fire and entirely destroyed.
In marching back to the camp on Bull creek,
the prisoners were subjected to very cruel treat
ment, and two of them, the one named Williams
and the other I" Dutch Charley" were taken out
of the camp and shot by their Infatuated ene-
mics. The latter was a Hungarian who had
fought under Kossuth, and since his removal to
this country had lived in Kansas, and taken a
very active part with the Free State party. He
was present at the battle of Black Jack, and
after the capture of the Pro-Slavery party was
appointed to guard the prisoners, one of whom
was man named Coleman. This Coleman
was at the battle of Ossawatomie, and after the
capture of the Free State men, recognised
Dutch Charley" He demanded that dutch
Charley" be delivered up to him, and taking
him out, shot him dead.
Frederick Brown, son of Captain Brown,
! was also killed. He was one of the picket
guards of the Free State camp at Ossawatomie,
and being surprised, he was shot through the
heart by preacher named Martin White. AT
ter being killed, and while lying on the ground,
with the mouth relaxed and open in death, an
other shot was fred down his throat.
The above is the straight forward tale of this
party of men, and bears upon its face the i'm
press of truth.
LATER PARTICULARS FROM LEAvENwORTH
The steamer Emma, which arrived here yester-
day with later news than that by the Polar Star,
brought down quite number of the citizens of
Leavenworth, who had been compelled to give
up their homes and fly for their lives. We
heard several of the names of these persons, but
do not feel at liberty to publish them. There is
nodoubt, however, ofthe fact of their having been
driven from their homes, and we hope some of
the gentlemen who are now in the city may be
induced to give the public full and explicit
statement of the condition of things at Leaven-
worth City, over their own signatures, so that
there may be no mistake or possibility of error.
1t is time that the truth, and the whole truth,
should be known by our citizens. We learn
that the mob under Emery have full possession
of Leavenworth, and have put every man of the
| Free State party, and many who are but mod
crate Pro-Slavery men, to the test, as follows
"Will you take up arms and fight the ID
Abolitionists, or will You quit the Territory? ="
The alternatives are terrible, and a majority
have adopted the latter, some of whom are now
in this city, having brought away their families
and left all their possessions behind, without
the least security in the world that they will be
preserved

From the St. Louis Democrat, September IL.


The latest we have from the Territory are the
following items furnished the Jefferson City In
quirer by the officers of the steamer Genoa:
A party of $50 of Lanes men, under COM
mand of a man by the name of Stowell, entered
Tecumseh on Thursday, the 4th, and completely
sacked the town of all the provisions and clo-
thing it contained. When our informant left,
they were still at work, plundering the town.
On Tuesday, the I'd, McKinney's whole train
was captured by party headed by the notori-
Gus Brown, in person, who was not killed at
Ossawattomie, as before reported.
Judge Lecompte, who is not now at the fort,
had issued an order to the marshal of the Ter
ritory to arrest Lane and other agitators.
General Smith has likewise issued orders to
Colonel Cook, commanding fourteen compa-
MES at Fort Riley, to give every assistance and
aid to the marshal in the execution of this writ.
, On Tuesday, the Keystone arrived at Glas-
gov, with Governor Geary on board, who was
received with salute from cannon on shore.
The gun was afterwards taken on board, in
charge Of company of 100 men, armed for
Kansas, from Glasgow.
Governor Shannon had a short interview with
Governor Geary on board the Keystone, while
lying alongside.
Lane was growing very bold and insulting,
and had facetiously sent word to the people of
Westport and Independence, that in a few days
he would be "down, and take breakfast with
them"
Lesvenworth was desolate-her stores closed,
dwelling houses deserted, and business entirely
suspended.
There were rumors in the city, last evening,
that Government dispatch had passed through,
on its way to Washington, conveying intelli
gence of fight between the Government troops
under Smith, and Lanes forces but we could
learn nothing reliable, and have no confidence
in its truthfulness.
