in relation to the fiendish atrocities prac
tised upon the Free State men BY their
border rufhan invaders will be no. only
confirmed but fully proved.

ed Free State men. Some of these had
eeen shot or Drained, and thrown out by
the roadside to rot under burning sun.
Others had been scalped as Indians

to tree by "a bowie knife driven through
bis heart into the solid wood at his back
on his breast was fastened a written
warning to all other " abolitionists. {"
Some were buried just beneath the prai-
rie sod, their hands and arms left stick
ing out of the shallow holes into which
they had been thrown. Upon others
the nameless mutilatious of private parts,
which characterize the ferocious joy of
the Indian in the moment Of victory,
had been committed In all classes,
seemed to have exhausted him
self in insulting what, among all civilized
men, whether friend or foe, are looked
upon with respect-the bodies Of the
dead.
Had these things appeared in the let
tcrs detailing events in Kansas between
May and November last, the journal
publishing them would have been sus-
pected of rxaggeration, even by its own
political friends; and more than one Of
the atrocities which the Governor viii
describe was written out by faithful COR
respondents for our columns, but we re-

There resides in the gbboring

corded above. Their father, a wealthy
retired merchant, died several years
since, aud left them the bulk of his prop

his will, however, that they should be
regular attendants at the Catholic
Church, Of which he was q member,
and s,ipulating that in case either of
them should marry a person not a Cath
olic, her portion Of the property should
be reverted. These young ladies have
had frequent opportunities to unite
themselves in marriage with men who
would render them happy through life,
but the cruel conditions Of the will,
threatening them with poverty in case
they should do SO, hangs impendingly
over them, and as they have not yet
met with Catholic upon whom they
can bestow their affections. they have
lived single and alone until they are
rapidly passing that period when Hooke

higher the standing Of the customer, and
the more particular as to his wines, the
