REV. Mr.. NuTE's LEoTURE.-We would again
remind our readers Of the lecture, to be given ON
Monday evening next, at Washburn Hall, on
"Pioneer Life in Kanzas, by Rev. e. Mute. He
is an eloquent lecturer, and an earnest friend Of
freedom, and well posted on the subject on which
he is to speak. The Nantucket Inquirer thus
speaks of his lecture, recently given there on the
same subject;
"For two hours he interested the audience the
boys even forgetting to chatter in their eagerness
to listen. There was ervid honesty 10 his state.
ments, that carried conviction to every heart no
inhammatory appeals no sweeping denunciations,
but clear, manly, truthful narrative of events,
He gave a sketch Of facts within his own personal
knowledge, the trials Of the pioneers their social
and political condition, their hopes and fears,
described the country as a home where the en-.
terprising and industrious man could could in a
few years secure an independence. Even though
in form slavery might for time get ioothold
there in fact il would not long exist. The ad.
dress was unusually interesting, and at the close
the audience manifested their delight by warm
applause. We feel satisfied that Mr.. Mute could
do more than any other man to give a correct
idea Of affairs in kanzas, to sweep away preiudi.

interest in the country 1T he woudrepeat it in ev-
cry town in tho State the address delivered here
We are informed that the Hon. Henry Chaplin
will preside at the meeting, next Monday even.

EMPLOYMENT SOCIETY S Satellite managers
of the Female Employment Society intend hold
ing sale at room lOS Main street, which DR..
Green has kindly volunteered for their use. The
sale will commence Wednesday forenoon, Dsc.
3d. continuing through the week.
They have on hand large collection of arti-
clea, and, in the present crisis, when the calls
upon their aid far exceed their powers of supply
ing it, it is very desirable that they should sell
the whole stock, and they assure their friends
that the articles will be sold at very small ad-
vance on the, price Of materials. They have
a great many coarse garments, which can be
bought at moderate prices, and which, they
think the ladies would be glad to purchase, to
give to that large class of respectable poor who
are most grateful for such aid They have, too,
quite supply of socks, children's mittens and
aprons, which mothers find so hard to knit, and
which are so useful and necessary. Neither are
they wanting in the ornamental; but can offer
just such tasteful articles as will be acceptable
for Christmas and New Years presents. They
hope that their friends who have hitherto kindly
aided them, will not fail to visit the room, where
they may find something to meet their wants or
their taste.

The St. Louis Democrat, of Tuesday saws.


"Within the last few days number of th,
members of the late Calhoun convention hae
passed through this city on their way to the Soub-
ern States, no doubt for the laudable purpose Of
reporting progress to their constituents. Theydo
not hesitate to disavow, peremptorily, any deire
of returning to Kansas, that territorial paradise
Of politicians. 1t may be mentioned, alsd en-
PEASANT, that they inyeigh loudly against Sehtor
Douglas, and say that he was weekly in cohmu-
nication with the convention, was advised q eve
rything, and up to the hour of adjournmdt led
them to believe that their course would met with
his strongest support IN the Senate Hisjresent
attitude, therefore, they attribute to sne new
revelation in regard to his own prospectsand de-
nounce him for acting in bad faith LIT should
over be necessary for the Calhoun contntion to
reassemble, (Which God forbid!) its meniers would
have to be summoned from sixteen SITES. We
are not prepared to place full confdice in the
statements in regard to Mr.. Douglas, ut we give
them to show the tenper in whicIhe is now
discoursed about by his quandam, air-weather
friends"

SuProsRD MoRDER-The Missouri Republican
of Dec mentions the finding of the body of a
man at Sulphur Springs, about 20 miles from st
Louis, who had been shot in the back, his throat
cut, and the flesh Of his face, nose, eyes, and
hont part of the scalp, skinned to the bone.
Thus INITIATED he was not recognized by any
person in The vicinity About ten PAGES from
where the man was found, memorandum book
was picked up. and on its first page the name OF
John u lillian Ludwig occurs three times; on the
second page occur the names of Gottleib Beck,
Clinton, Mass, and Joseph Sehusser. The other
pages are blank.
The Clinton Csurant thinks that the murdered
man may be German, recently resident Of that
tokn, who went South and West. in company
with Augustus schaffer, eleven weeks since.
They parted in Macon, Ga, since which time
Schaffer, who arrived in Clinton on Thanksgiving
Day, has heard nothing direct from his friend.
Mr.. Beck, however, received letter from him a
month since, dated at Chicago. When he left
Clinton he took with him about $500, and three
watches, but in writing from Chicago stated that
be had spent all his money. Schusser has nc
relatives in this country.

ExcrrRAENT IN Kansas The Dread Guard
Called Out Gathering Of Armed MeH at lie.
compton.-The St. Louis Republican (pro slavery
papsr) Of Dec. IL, in giving the latest accounts
from Kansas, says;
1--WE hear from the Territory that there was an
intense excitement among all classes OF people,
and il ia hardly probable that the party opposed
TO the Lscompton Convention will permit an cleo
ton n be held an the 2lst at all, jim Lane,
with three or four hundred of his myrmldons and
followers, was eneamped nesr Leeomptoh' osteh-
sbly to keep the peace, but really 10 oVefs"e, as
il seems to us, the members Of the Legislature,
ana 70 secure such actiun as they desire with ref
erenee 70 the Lecompton Constitution.
Many threats OF determination to drive Gen.
Calhoun and all the members who were concern
ed with him in the formation and submission OF
the Constitution, out OF the Territory, and even
TO take their lives, have been made, but no out
break Of the kind had been attempted

and the appointment Of Gen Denver in his stead.
had not reached Ksnzss, but the impression OF
our informant is, that 1t will bring things TO an
issue in the Territory at once"
The same saper has letter from Lawrence of
December Z, from which we extract the follow
ing:
"To add to the interest at Lecompton today,
on SatnrdAs night messenger brought the fol-
lowing letter TO lawrence, directed to General
L,ne understand there is no question OF its
geuuinene8s:
sLRcoMPToN. Dec. g. 1857
Dear General Col Moore just tells me that
Calhoun has sent out request to the members
OF the old Legislature TO meet here on Monday
hear that your and G. W. Browns lives are
threatened If you come 10 this place on that day.
Nv advice to you and Mr. Brown is to come, and
we will see that the id scoundrels do you no
harm Be sure and get all the men at this place
on that day you can, and they should all be we'll
armed. Yours truly,
Gen. Lane. SAMUEL WALKER
No sooner had Lane read the letter than he is
sued orders to the Dread Guards, and company
OF cavalry under his charge TO be in Leeompton
at an eatly hour this morning
Every team and frelock in the shape OF side
arms, which can be found, has been gathered up,
and crowds are continually leaving for the point
OF iutesest Lane was heard to declare repeated.
~, this morning, that blood would be shed at Lee
compton today He and Brown have both gone
up, but my opinion is that all will end in smoke,
though should Jones or any other man attempt
70 carry out their threat, there is danger OF vlo-
lence ard 1t would not end with mere punish
uent Of the guilty parties"

WELL EMPLoYED.-A large number of Irish
laborers in this city have been we'll employed
during the open weather Of the past few weeks,
in removing the stumps of trees from the wood
lots which have been cut over upon the farms on
the outskirts of the city. They associate togeth-
er in gangs, and contract with the farmers to dig
out and carry off the stumps, without expense to
them, considering their value for fuel as an
equivalent for the service OF conrse, all parties
are benehttod-the farmer, in the improvement
of his lands, and ''Patrick, in having the means
to keep himself busy and warm during the dull,
cold days of Winter.

STEALENG.--The corn crib of Mr.. Abraham

wet, and the horse was tIaced by peculiarly in
the shoeing, which a blacksmith identified as be-
longing to a man named 0dy, in Wrentham. An
officer proceeded to Wrentham, and found the
rogue loading the stolen grain. At sight of the
officer, he fed to the woods, but was afterwards
arrested, 10 Providence, together with COUSIN
Of the same name, implicated in the theft. After
examination, they were both committed for trial.
They also stole an iron bar, spade, and buta-
10 robe, from Mr.. Wyman Wakefield, neighbor
Of Mr.. Arnold. These articles were recovered.

taken. They entered and retired by back win
