and thirty-six names were entered on
the roll. After reporting their organ
ization 10 the Governor, at his request
the compny disbanded. The reasons
assigned were that there was no longer
any danger of riot, and the presence
of such company would be likely to
create i'll feeling. A guard was placed
over the building where Mr.. Jones
was confined, to prevent all attempts
to injure his person, and the town was
generally quiet.
Sherrard was frightfully wounded,
and has since died. Mr.. Sheppard
was taken home, and Mr.. Hunting
was conveyed to Judge Wakefeld's s.
Both are doing well. At a prelimi-
May examination on Thursday, Mr..
Jones was admitted to bail in the sum
of $4,000.
The free State men who were present
did not mingle in the affray, and not a
shot was fired by the party from
Lawrence. About fifty shots were cx-
changed, which were all, with the ex-
ception of one by Dir. Sheppard, fired
by the pro-slavery men.

Free State party. have not one leading
man from the old States to counsel with
nor one among ourselves, who can
spend month of time and support him
self, without feeling embarrassment OF
want. Our political men are not sus-
tained at home nor abroad, by sufficient
funds to enable them to act efficiently
One county in Missouri has given more
to establish slavery in Kansas than all
the Free States have given to sustain
freedom. Missouri estimates her expen'
ses in Kansas last year, at half million
of dollars, while money raised in the
Free States for our defence would moi
reach twenty thousand.

TOBBERS of Silk Goods, Fancy Dress
~ Stuffs, Trimmings, Ribbons, Embroider-
les, Laces, Mantillas, ETC., have now open
for the spring season. one Of the largest stocks
of goods In their line, ever offered in the
United States. Thc system of uniform pri-
ces adopted by us some years since, together
with that of opening no accounts except with
cash and short credit buyers, has had the
effect of largely increasing our business,
thereby enabling us to present still greater
inducements in Goods and prices to those
who give us their custom. The close cqieu-
LATINO Merchant will perceive, upon reading
our terms, that under the Uniform Price sys-
tenn we not only can afford to, but must from
necessity sell at lower rates than those who
do business on the old long credit system
our terms being more stringent, and the pur-
chascrs whom we seek to attract being, as
class, the closest buyers and best judges Of
goods.
TEEMs.-Cash buyers will receive dis
count Of SIX per cent, if the money be paid
in par funds, within ten days from date of
Bill.
Uncurrcnt money taken only at its market
value on the day if is received.
To merchants of undoubted standing.
credit of six months will be given, if desired.
Where money is remitted in advance of ma
turity, a discount at the rate of twelve per
cent per annum will be allowed.
u We ask from merchants visiting the
East an examination Of our stock, being sat
isfed that they will be convinced that it is
not fo- their interests to pay the large profits
that are absolutely essential TO those who
give long credits. feb. 2S-2ts

T SAW in the New York Tribune an ac-
Icount of the sale of Columbia College
grounds. At that sale one lot of q fee: and
one of 25 fect-52 feet front and 80 feet deep
were sold together for the sum of Ill 900
dollars, or 55, 900 each Once both these
lots were not worth fifty dollars. Do peo-
pie in fhe States know that lots in Lawrence,
80 feet front by III feet deep, are selling
very cheap-sOme of them as low as fifty
dollars-which may one day be worth fifty
thousand dollars? Here is a chance to catch
a large fish with small bait. My commits
sion for buying or selling is five per cent.

The Temperance Vote.

The principles of Temperance re-
ceived another glorious endorsement
from the citizens of Lawrence on Sat
urday' last, the 21st inst. 4 town
meeting was held which had been
called on that day, to decide by voting
the question whicn has been agitated
for some time past, viz: " Shall the
sale of alcoholic liquors be allowed in
our city limits ?'' At half-past one,
P. ~, the meeting was called to order
and the following officers appointed
Moderator Spittle; Tellers =
Messrs. G. W. Hutchinson, John
Bowles and 3. S. Hancock Secreta-
ries-Messrs. j. F. Legate and p. r.
Brooks. The polls were then opened
and kept open until four o clock P. NJ,
when the vote stood as follows =
For the sale, II against the sale,
no!
The voting was done by ballot, and
the proceedings were conducted with
the utmost fairness. We have always
been proud of our adopted home, but
our pride is increased tenfold when
we see such an overwhelming major
Iity cast on the side of temperance,
virtue and good order. The proud
position Lawrence has maintained
hitherto has been again nobly sup
ported, and we trust from this date
the drunkard-maker will never more
pollute our fair town with his foul
traffic.

~ Merchants, Quindaro. Kansas.
T Persons forwarding goods to Us VIII
please ship them to the care of Messrs. Sim
mons and Eeadbester, st. Louis.
The site now occupied by Quindaxo has
for long time attracted the attention Of in
telligent travellers and business men. Here
tofore it has been in the possession OF those
who had no puwer to sell it. This bar e
capital and enterprise is at length removed,
and Qrfindaro Hill soon become the Com
mereial Metropolis Of the Far West.
Persons sending merchandise to Kansas,
will do well to ship it to this place, for the
following reasons:
| Ouindaro is the only point in Kansas neal
| the junction of the Missouri and kaw rivers
which is permanently accessible to steam
boats Tie channel Of the Missouri in FROM
OF the Town is very deep and narrow. The
river itself ploughs over solid ledge which
/ affords no foothold for a sand bar. Ths
/ Leyee is a. mile and quarter IN extent, eve
~ foot of which. even when The river Is a
its lowest Stage, is accessible to steamboats,
of the heaviest draught.
| At this point the Missouri flows between
two rocky bluffs, which furnish a barrier tC
| the migratory character of the river. Ii car
never change Its channel.
From its situation, Quindaro viii receive
and control the whole trade of the Kansas
Valley and of the country south of the Kan
sas, as far as Texas.
/ Quindaro is but thirty railes from law,
renee; a road between the two places, witt
the necessary bridges, is already under con
tract. In addition to this means of eommu
| nication, two boats viii ply regularly be
tween Quindaro and Lawrence.
The proprieters are pledged to expend il
Quindaro all moneys arising from the sale o
shares Twenty thousand dollars have al
ready been set apart for grading streets. A
steam mill of one hundred and twenty hors,
power has been purchased and viii soon b
in operation. A large Hotel is also in pro
cess of construction.
Simpson and McCauley. having made
preparations to erect commodious ware
house, in season for the spring trade, selicii
the attention of shippers.
