and in conhagration of dwellings and expulsion
OF peaceable citizens in its vicinage after it was
known the troops were ordered to Utah, and
when If was falsely supposed that they would
not be replaced by others. Indeed, if the rev.
dictionary government of Lawrence had not
been encountered by the immediate movement
of troops there, it is now clear that similar in.
surrec,ionary local governments, based on my
presumed acquiescence, would have been Or
ganized throughout Kansas in open defiance
OF the laws of Congress and of this Territory,
and rendered peaceful settlement impossible.
1t will be remembered, that in open defiance
OF the laws of Congress and of this Territory,
and after the refusal of the so-called Topeka
State Legislature to grant them charter, they
nevertheless organized city Government,
clothed with all the usual powers-legislative
executive, and judicial. 1t will be recolected,
also, that after my proclamation of the 18th OF
July last, and the simultaneous movement OF
the troops there, as precautionary measure to
MAINTAIN the authority of the Government, and
arrest the spread of this insurrecton through
out the Territory, they then professed, through
their organs, that what they had called Cor
eminent, and to which they had given all the
powers OF Government, was mere voluntary
association, for the removal of nusances from
the streets, &c. But now, when it was eiro.
neously believed by them that the troops would
all be removed TO Utah, and not replaced By
others, they have thrown off the mask, and car.
ried out their original iusurrectionary purpose
by passing a compulsory tax law, both a poll
and property tax, requiring its assessment and
collection by the seizure and sale of property
and exacting, by their charter, from executive
officers, who are to carry out these acts, an oath
to perform all these duties-the violation o.
which oath, if these duties are not performed
would be perjury. At the same time, they
seemed to have believed that this precautionary
movement of mine and proclamation were dis
approved by the Precedent of the United States
whereas they were both most cordially sustain

A correspondent of the Panama Star and
Herald, writing from Calao, under date of
August IL, says:
"On Saturday last, an armed boat was sent
on board the American ship John Milton by
order of the captain of the port, and forcibly
took out three of the crew, and brought them
on shore; and again, on the same day, by the
same authority, four others were taken from the
Morning Glory, assigning no other reason than
that of might. The commanders of these ships
have laid their case before Mr.. Clay, our Min
lister. He has demanded that the men be
placed on board their ships again, and an
apology made for the insult to our flag"
TERRIBLE BUTCHERY IN INDIANA The
Evansville Journal has the particulars of a ter.
rible affair that happened near that place. 1t
says:
"On Thursday evening, at Francisco, a village
on the canal, in Gibson county, about l6 miles
from this city, party of young persons we're
assembled for practice in singing. A crowd of
rowdies soon gathered about the house, and be-
gan to make q disturbance to annoy or break
up the singing party. The young men in the
house, among whom were two SONS of Mr.. Per-
kins, the owner of large Touring mill in that
village, with their brother.inlaw, Mr.. Cross,
came to the door either to drive away the dis
turbers or persuade them to be quiet. A fight
ensued, in which one of the young Perkinses
was stabbed and killed on the spot-the other
was stabbed between the shoulders and had his
throat cut, and, though living when the mes
senger left, he was not expected to survive.
Young Cross was also stabbed, and had his
tongue cut out by the murderous savages.s
The water in Lake Michigan is now higher

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN-TAE STEAMER SAN
JACINTO

A letter from friend at Shanghai informs US
that the United States steamship San Jacinto, the
flag vessel of the East India squadron, arrived at
Woosurg on the llth of September, in six days
from Smonds, Japan She left Hong Kong on
the 18th Of August for Simonds, having on board
Mr.. Harris, the United States Consul General to
japan. During her trip she rescued quite num-
Der OF Chinese from fragments of wrecks.
In one case, no less than ffty-Gre persons were
taken from q Government junk while she was in 8
sinking condition The San Jscinto had very
pleasant visit to japan, and the interview between
the Commodore his officers, and the japanese au
thorities, was of the most friendly character. 1t
is said however to be policy Of the Japanese Gov
eminent to oppose with every obstacle in its pow
er foreign intercourse and the arrival of the San
Jacinto, with Harrison board, was not desired.
Ia an interview with the Commodore, the CUES
ton was asked if be could not take Mr. Harris back
again. Ths reply was that lis orders were 10
bring Mr. Harris there and leave him, and he
should obey them. Finding the Commodore thus
decided, the authorities Immediately set about to
prepare residence for the Consul General, and for
that purpose fitted up one of their Temples near
by which flag staff was erected, from which, as
the San Jscino left the harbor the stars and stripes
were displayed.
