AN lsOrnERMAL FIOT0RY.-The N orth Amer

says :-lnstead Of Stewart, DEM, being elect.
cd Governor OF that State, with all his Atchi
Sonlan procliyities, il turns out that Rollins,
independent, is the man. WO had not ex-
pecteu thls change, but it is truly gratifying
After their triumph ut the Presidential and
Gubernatorial elections in Missouri last fall
the followers OF the great Border Ruifian felt
SO sure That the State was iTreyocably theirs
that they transferred thcir new Governor. TINS

were the headquarters of the horse stealers
which plnndered of his live stock every Free
state man within reach. Steamboats, were
stopped there by mobs, to be searched for free

ties a free soil victory has been achieved :.
truly, "the blood of the martyrs isthe seed of

ground by suffering northern mon, has not fallen
upon nntruitful soil. The Free State horses,
ike the wooden Steci of the host have intro

member of Congress and a Governor both
