General Lane has made great progress
in organizing the Free State settlers of
the Territory Of Kansas in regular mill
tary style, the object to be attained be-
ing to make their power felt as protec-
tive of their rights at the allot-box, and
eventually to make Kansas Free State.
He has already the names of FIVE thou
sand men on his muster rolls, all good
and true, and in an emergency it is cal
culated that he can have at command IN
army Of ten thousand strong. All Bor-
der Ruf6andom, backed by the Utah
army of General Harvey, would find
abundant occupation in coping with such
force. The Free State men have also
made an imposing display of power in
the recent election, which they had all
to themselves. 1t is credibly stated that
the Topeka Constitution received six
times a. many votes a. were cast by the
Nationals for their candidates without

the Topeka party in Kansas has dwindled
down to few fanatics, as the apologists
for Walker have for some time enjoyed
themselves much in dcclaring.-Daren-

The returns from the Counties con-
tinue to come in, and there are now
sufficient to enable us to calculate up-
ON the probable result !; and, though
there are yet a few Counties to hear
from, the returns from these cannot ina.
terially change the state Of matters.
Seventy-four Counties have now been
heard from, most of them official, which
give the Constitution upwards of thou
sand majority SO that there can be no
doubt that the Constitution is carried.
The large majorities, however, which
were anticipated for it when the re.

Bloody Battle I'm Peru.

In Peru the revolution has been re-
newed. Vicanco's headquarters at Are
quipa were surrounded by the Govern
ment troops under General San Roman
and Colonel Friere San Roman ad-
vanced on the city in order to besiege it,
but on the 10Th Of June the inhabitants
rushed out and attacked him with great
fury, driving back his advanced posts,
and penetrating the centre of his lines
On the Both Of June, Vivanco renewed
the fight, and same evening had encir-
cled San Romans force, each claiming
the victory. This was the most bloody
battle recorded in the history of the Re-
public. The government force lost from
oil SORTS Of casualties twelve hundred
men, whilst the revolutionists lost five
hundred soldiers. The frigate Apuri-
mac was still At Islay, with six hundred
and fifty men on board. At Callao a

toned there in favor of Vivanco was
looked for. A good many officers had
been placed under arrest.

girl by the name Of Mitchell, Of some

On Saturday evening last, says the
Pittsburgh Union, as a passenger train
on the Central Railroad was descending
the grade near Johnstown, little after
dark, bullet was fired into one of the
cars, causing great excitement among the
passengers. The ball entered through a
glass window directly in front Of a pas.
senger, and, taking diagonal direction,
passed within an inch Of his face, and
went through window on the opposite
side of the car. The conductor was i'm.
mediately importuned to stop the cars,
that the dastardly villain night be pun,
ished, but this he declined doing. The
assault is attributed to the fact that some
of those recently accustomed to ride up
and down on the locomotive Of the ride
had been forcibly elected by the engi-
neers. Probably the ball was intended
for some one on the locomotive.

The Democratic Constitutional Con
vention having played clown until their
antics had disguised the whole Territory,
and thrust them into the mire Of huge
public contempt, have adopted an cxpe-
dent to rstrievs their previous slim rep
utation. On Saturday last, as annousced
in our telegraph news Of yesterday, Judge
Sherburne offered and Gov. German ad-
vocated resolution for the appointment
of Committee of Conference to meet q
like Committee of the Republican Con-
vention in case such committee should be
appointed, to agree upon = plan for SUBJ
hitting but one Constitution to the peo-
pie. The following are the preamble and
resolution:
Whereas, the persons who were elected
by the people Of this Territory to repre-
sent them in Constitutional Convention
having met at this Capitol on the day ap-
pointed by law for such lxeeting, and
having disagreed upon some immsterial
questions which arose in the course Of
forainga temporary organization, sep
Grated and formed two distinct Constitu-
tons, to be presented to the people.
And Whereas, Proceedings so extra
ordinary in their character will have a
tendency to injure the rcputition Of our
people---to lessen the confidence Of the
other States in the integrity, stability and
position, and place Us in a false position
before the world, therefore.
Resolved, That Committee Of FIVE be
appointed by the President of this Con-
vention, to confer with Committee of
equal number, if appointed, of the duly
elected members Of that portion of them
who are acting separately from US; and
that it shall be the duty Of such Com
m:ttee to consider and agree upon, if
practicable, and report some plan BY
which the two bodies can unite upon .
single Constitution to be submitted to the
people.
The resolution was lost by = majority
of three, but it was altogether probable
the measure would be successful.
On Monday, the Convention passed
resolution similar to that which had been
rejected by the Democrats, by a unani-
nous vote The dispatch which brings
this intelligence states that the Democrats
would probably accept the overture on the
succeeding day.-Chi Tribune.

An ARRAY occarcd at Niagara Falls yes
terday morning, causing considerable En-
element there. The particulars Of the
case are stated to US BY different parties
substantially ss follows: 4 gentleman
from the South, Kentucky or Missouri,
with his wife and daughter, were stop
ping at the international Hotel On
Tuesday they were on the Canada side,
and took = ferry skiG 10 return. After
the ladies' had taken seats in the skiff, an
i,npudent colorcd man took seat between
them. The gentleman who accompanied
these ladies', the husband Of one and faith
sr Of the other. r-1u estea the negro to
leave the seat that he nigh, occupy H.
The fellow refused to change his seat and
gave abusive language in return for po-
likeness. The white man elected the
black one by force from the seat and
choked him some.
Yesterday morning the man and his
wife came to the breakfast table Of the
International later than usual, and nearly
al the guests had left the dining ROOM
After taking his seat at the table beside
his wife, the negro with whom he had
the alteration in the skiff on the pre-
vious day came up to him and said, "you
are the man who choked me yesterday"
The reply was Eyes and Dug hit to have
thrown you into the river" ... ..
At this point the black fellow struck
the man on the head with heavy tumb-
Ter, telling him scnsless to the floor. The
wife of the gentleman thus assaulted rose,
and, with commendablc heroism, dealt
the fellow . blow which Frustrated him.
without an instant of delay, she ran up
stairs and to the rooms she occupied, aud
and finding the door locked, her hus-
band having the key, she burst the door
open, siezed revolver, and ran to the
dining room. BY this time the black
walters had passed their companion out
of immediate danger. Tolerable quiet
was restored by the interference of the
proprieters of the house and friends.
The negro who had caused the distur-
bance ran to the river bank, intending to
escape to Canada, but did not succeed
He was arrested BY constable, aud while
on his way to answer to the Magistrate
in passing the hotel 4 shot was fred
from the second story window
The ball did no mischief, but passed near
the constable and his prisoner. Who
fred the shot, no one has yet ascertained,
or At least it is not publicly known. 1t
is charged upon both parties.
The negro was taken before Magis-
trate, examined and found guilty of the
assault. The Magistrate decided to SEN
tence the fellow to pay fine of SIS and
70 to Jail for three months.
The Southerner who was assaulted
came forward and requested that the fel-
low be not sent to jail. The Magistrate
then changed the sentence to . fine Of
SIS, which was paid.
