On last Saturday, the 9th inst, o. c.
Brown, of Osawotonnie, was arrested at
Lecompton by O. S. Marshal Dennis, on
the charge of being a participant in the
osawotomie and other fights of last year.
1t would be extremely good policy on the
part of the Pro-slaveryites at Lecompton to
do as little as possible to revive old grudges
or the recollection of the scenes of last
Summer. The Pro-slayery victory at 0sa-
wotomie. was accompanied by acts of yio-
lence and shameful, inhuman cruelty, the
recollection of which viii prove very
dangerous to the safety of Pro-slaveryites
in Kanzas if they again provoke hostilities.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Last evening our at
tie village was considerably excited By tht
arrest of negro woman and three small
children, who had escaped from their mas
ter. living at La Grange, Mo.
1t appears the poor creatures had been
lurking in the timber, within half a mile Of
our place, for two or three days, and had
been seen frequently by those who did not
yiew them wsh any particular interest, and
have even been so bold as to call on fam
lies living near their retreat, for sictuals,
water, DC. But Yesterday report was
raised that reward of 81 900 was offered
for their delivery in La Grange, when 9 all
eyes were open for the apprehension OF the
fugitives," and in few minutes party
was formed and the search commenced.-
All day they were engaged IN the steahhy
tread, but no slaves were to be foursds and
the party being weary, returned IN the eve
ming to refresh themselves preparatory foI
another trial at night. Their fun was spoiled
however, by a messenger arriving few
minutes after they returned, informing them
that the negroes had been decoyed into the
house of Mr.. James Welsh, who lives at
the edge of the timber In which the unfortu-
mates were concealed. This treachery was
performed by the daughter of Mr.. Welsh, a
young woman who found the negroesa short
distance from the house. by telling them
that she was friend to them, and that if
they would go with her to the house she
would give them something to eat. The
poor mother could but accept this offer for
her starving children, and without suspicion
went into the house. But before they had
time to allay their hunger, the sable mother
and poor helpless children were surrounded
by dozen stout men all sc armed to the
teeth In a few minutes hack was pro-
cured, and the poor creatures were fast re-
turning to their bondage. True it is that
money is the root of all evil.--C Chicago Ifi-

The New York Semi-weekly Tribune of
the 4th inst, in an editorial entitled s<The
Election In Kanzas, . commenting on the
report then current that 'Ye Greas Isother-
mal'' intended to prevent the holding of an
election for State officers and the vote on
the Constitution being polied, closes up
with the following significant words relative
to Ike October election:
eve feel as sure as of anything future,
that the Free State men viii somehow be
precluded from voting then, or else the Bor-
der Ruffians will be sent over In regsneHfs
to vote them down. Ii there be osesEko
really believes that the Free State men of
Kanzas viii have any more fair play than
their strength shall command, we entreat
him to watch the drama to the end -
Taking into consideration the fact that
at the time the above was written the infa-
NOUS apportionment had not thrust its foul
features into our midst, nor was it supposed
that so bare-faced fraud would be sane
toned by the polite Democratic Talleyrand
who is supposed to govern Kanzas, i would
almost seem as if the Tribune was imbued
with the divine spirit of prescience.
The close of the first sentence OF the abovA
quotation is true to the letter. Not onIy are
the Free State men prevented from sstiag
in October next, by the various safeszsszs
the Border Ruffans hedge their authositY
with, but the. DRAWINGS of al the whisky
shops, brothels and plantations of Missouri,
assisted, aided and abetted by that debris
and scum of all nations, called the q. s.
Army, which is oficered in most cases by
the niger driving oligarchs of the South;
these two arms of Pro-slavery usurpation
are to lend comfort to each other Missouri
Is to furnish her rakings to vote, while the
army, always tool of tyrants, is to prevent
the indignation of the Free State men of
Kanzas from wreaking itself on the villains.
They are to see that we,
with bated breath and whispering humbleness.' q
accept this new outrage. We, however, re-
member the old classic story of Alexander
the Great, and the Gordian knot, and we are
of those who to-day or to-morrow-now or
at any time, are willing to accept the lesson
taught by it, and with the sword of REve-
LUTON, cut asunder the knotof Pro-slayery
usurpation.

P. H. Carey, stenographer to Governor
Walker and Special Correspondent of the
n. Y. Times writes to that Journal from
Lecompton. under date of July 20, 1857,
as follows:
Long ere this, I apprehend, you viii
have received intelligence by telegraph of
the action of the Free State Convention
which assembled at Topeka on Wednesday
last to nominate Representative to Con-
gress and batch of State officers. After
much anxious deliberation and an excited
discussion, they adjourned without having
accomplished their main object. The ques-
ton which led to the premature breaking
up of the sittings of the body was that as to
the propriety of nominating candidate as
Representative to Congress from the State
of Kanzss, or of simply nominating dele
gale from the Territory: Not being able to
arrive at any agreement on the point, they
finally agreed to dissolve. Before adjourn
ing, however, they nominated several State
officers, and adopted series of resolutions
denying the validity of the laws of the Ter
ritorAl Legislature. and suggesting the adj
visibility of resubmitting the Topeka Con-
stitution to the people. Mr.. III. J. Parrot,
a young man of considerable ability, comes
forward as the Free State candidate for del
egate and representative both, but there are
so many aspirants that it is question
whether he may not be tricked out of the
nomination, if one should ever be made

the above, viii be apparent to every one

Trouble with the Indians in Minneso-
ta--TroopS Sent on.

The Chippewa Indians were paid off at the
agency twenty miles above Little Falls, Min
nesota, on the 10th and 11th instants. Du-
ring the payment the Indians got drunk and
quarrelsome, and some half dozen of them
were killed A letter from ST. Paul, July
18th, says:
1.-The removal of the United States troops
from Fort Ripley has emboldened the Chip
pewa Indians, and the sale of whisky among
them by the whites brings out the old saw
age traits. They have just driven the Rev.
Mr.. Breck, Episcopal missionary, and the
whole missionary staff, from the mission at
Leech Lake, (the outpost, and they are
now at Fort Ripley. They have had a mar
row escape with their lives
A second despatch from Governor Media
~ was received at Washington asking au-
thority to enrol five companies of volunteers.
L. Pritchett, Clerk in the Indian Bureau,
has been dispatched to Minnesota to exam
inc and report.
On Saturday despatch was received from
Washington ordering Colonel Burke, the
commanding officer al Fort Hamilton, to re-
pair forthwith, with troops under his COM
mand, to Fort Smelling, Minnesota.
With the companies ordered from Forts
Independence, Hamilton, Mackinaw and
Sault st. Mary, Michigan, there will soon
be ten companies in Minnesota.
The latest advices received from the Sioux
agency state that the hostile demonstrations
of the Indians are over, and that the Sisseton
tribe are to receive their annuities.
We learn from reliable sources that it is
very probable a treaty will be negotiated this
summer, between the government and the
Yankton Sioux, for the extensive region oil
country bounded by the Missouri river and
the Big Sioux on the west and east, and by
the Missouri and the forty fifth parallel OF
north latitude on the north and south. This
treaty will open up the best portion of the
territory of Dacotah to settlement.
