Disturbance in Kansas.

The following account Of the shooting OF
Jones, in Kansas, and other matters in con-
nection, is from correspondent Of the ST..
Louis Democrat:
LAWRENCE, April "a, 1856.
70 the Eai'or Of Tie Missouri Democrat:
Knowing that your regular correspond
ent is debarred from writing you this mail,
volunteer a few lines that will be of public
| interest. Jones, the Sheriff of Douglas
| county was shot last night about 10 O'Clock
| and it is expected that his wound will prove
fatal. The standing circumstances were these:
On Saturday and Sunday last, he made two
unsuccessful attempts to arrest S. n. Wood
and others, for some old offences for which
he has held warrants for several months. and
never sought to enforce. Our people were
unwilling to recognize him or his authority.
He had a small posse with him from Lecomp
ton each time, but lie took away none of o, r
men away under such circumstances. He
seemed greatly exasperated and swore he
would have them at any cost of life or mon
cy. He made Lecompton his hcad-Uuarters
where Shannon, Oliver Whitfield, Stiingfel-
low and others were in council, directing all
his movements, and intending to get up some
foray just on the verge of the examination
by the Washington committee, to prejudice
them against the sGnatters of the Territory
Shannon sent to Leavenworth for troors to
assist Jones in making his arrests, and about
O'Clock in the afternoon yesterday, he rode
In town at the head of ten or twelve dra-
goons, fully arme J. Wood, and those lie
me more particularly to arrest, were not
in town, and were advised to leave, to pre-
vent and avoid difficulty at that time But
they soon found twelve others whom tbcv
arrested and marched through the streets un-
der guard OF L. S. Dragons, like culprits.-
Many of our people were very indignant at
this; still they were all arrested and taken
to the room prepared for them, without the
least resistance, and even one United States
officer with such instructions, has accom-
| plshed the same, for we will never resist
the authority and arms of the United States.
AS night came on, however, feared there
would be further disturbance, still we expec-
eed nothing moro serious than abusing Jones
or something of the kind. But unfortunate
ly Tor US, some desperate whose impulses
were beyond control, shot Jones as he was
sitting in tent occupied by the dragoons;-
but no trace can be found, or any evidence
to fix the guilt upon any particular person.
Our citizens all deprecate the act very much
and will use every means to bring the assas-
sin to justice. The Lieutenant in command
has sent to Leavenw orth for larger force,
but we apprehend no further demonstration
Jones is alive this morning, but is considered
very dangerously wounded. The ball en-
tered between the shoulder blades near his
neck, and probably injured the spine. 1t is
hoped the public will withhold judgment un-
til further investigations are made public.

Eloquence.


The following passage is from the speech
of Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio. 1t is
said to have produced thrilling effect upon
the House. We can we'll conceive thatsit
would do this. The records of Parliament
ary eloquence in this country furnish few
finer passages. Mr.. Bingham, in speaking
of the bloody code" of Kansas, said:
Ay, sir, Congress is to abide by this sta
tute, which makes it felony for citizen to
utter or publish in that territory " anything
calculated to induce slaves to escape from the
service of their masters" Hence it would
be felony there to utter the strong words of
Algernon Sydney" Resistance to tyrants
is obedience to God - felony to say with
Jefferson, have sworn upon the altar of
my God eternal hostility to tyranny in
every form over the mind and body of men y
a felony to utter there, in the hearing of a
slave upon American soil, beneath the
American flag, the words of fame which
shook the stormy soul of Henry, Give me
liberty, or give me death :" felony to read
in the hearing of one of those fettered bond
men the words of the Declaration, " All
men are born free and equal, and endowed
by the Creator W tn the inalienable rights o.
life and liberty = felony to utter those
other words, blazing in letters of living
light on the great written charter of our ma
tional government, 1--WE the people of the
United States, in order to establish justice y
the attribute of God, and to secure liber-
ty," the imperishable right of man. do cor
dain this Constitution felony to harbor or
aid slave escaping from his thraldom O
felony to aid freedom in its fight a felony
to shelter the houseless, to clothe the naked,
to feed the hungry, and to help him that is
ready to perish felony to give to the
famishing a cup of water in the name of our
Master. Oh, sir, before you hold this enact
ment binding on an American Congress, tear
down the banner of freedom which floats
above us, for stirring "reminiscences linger in
its folds, and the stars upon its field of azure
have cleaned upon the field of "poised bat
tle," where the earthquake and the fire led
the charge, and where American virtue and
American valor maintained the unequal con-
tiict against the mighty power of British
tyranny and oppression. Before you hold
this enactment to be law, burn our immor-
tai Declaration and our free-written Consti-
tuition, fetter our free press and finally pene-
trate the human soul, and put out the light
of understanding which the breath of the
Almighty hath kindled.

For the Minnesotian.
Fort Smelling Bridge Company.

MEssRs. ED1ToRs Over $4,000 (the sum
required by the charter previous to organiz-
ing was subscribed at the banking-office of
Mackubin & Edgerton, on the first day of
opening of the books Of this company. The
bridge is estimated to cost from $4,000 to
$4,000, and the remainder Of tho stock
will be taken Immediately.
1t is believed that this enterprise, which
will conduce SO largely to the business and
convenience Of the people of St. Paul and
the Minnesota River valley, and will add so
much to the pleasure of the ride from St
Paul around by Fort Smelling, the Falls of
Minnehaha, Minneapolis, and st. Anthony,
taken by all travellers who visit the terri
tory, will be completed by lst January next,
and that it will be as profitable to the stock
holders as it will be beneficial to st. Paul
and the public generally.
