RESURRECTION IN KANSAS 1t is stated
that Gov. Walker has t~elegraphed to the
President that a serious insurrection had bro
ken out at Lawrence, and that be had called
out the U. States troops to suppress il. The
Governor had started Immediately for Law.
renee. The trouble grew out Of the tax law
and the refusal of the inhabitants to recog-l
nize laws Of the Territory.
Later advices state that the municipal
ticket was elected on the 18th. On the 18th
Governor Walker entered Lawrence with
eight companies of Dragons under Col.
Cook. The psople of Lawrence are deter
mined to pay no attention to him and viii
not negotiate with him. The Governor has
warrants for the the arrest of all who are
elected city officers and many others who are
prominent citizens.
The intelligence from Kansas smells strong
~ of saltpetre. The indications are that
our next accounts will be either of an igno-
minious backing Down Of the freesoil traitors
at Lawrence, or the butchery of a goodly
number Of them. If Governor Walker ad'
heres to the declarations of his proclamation
and upholds the authority of the territorial
government, and if the Topeka rebels do not
turn out to be the variest set of braggart pol
troons that ever disgraced humanity, we may
confidently look out for lively news from
Kansas in the course now of a very little
while.
It is high time that the laws were vindica,
ted in Kansas and that the vagabond trail
tors who went there for rebellion, sedition,
arson and robbery were taught a lesson they
may turn to profitable account.

murders and deeds of violence, of late. We

This miserable parracide is now in Fayette
Jail for trial. His violent temper could not
be restrained towards his daughter in the
discharge of domestic duty, and whilst

instantly, doubtlessly dislocating her neck,
MURDER, MURDER.-On Thursday evening
the 9th inst, on the farm of J. Miles, neal
Frankfort, in this county, John Sullivan
aged about II years, whilst hoeing corn, was
attacked by James Yates. Sullivan, after
retreating a few steps, struck Yates on the
head with his hoe, and killed him almost in
stantly. Yates was a man advanced in life
and we presume lily prepared for a dissolu
ton so sudden and unexpected. The deceas
ed never spoke, his skull being extensively
fractured, consequently great compression
of the brain.-Leoisburg Era.
