The siege of Lawrence is raised, and Robert

My DEAR CooKY:41 have made an unfortu-
nate movement, and find mysslf in a preplexing
situation. send you the copy of proclama-
ton that l recently issued against the city Of
Lawrence. Twas advised to this course by Sec

interest OF stephen a. Douglass, my rival for

ms movement, unless can find some excuse
which will justify ME before the country in re-
moyeing IL e troops encamped here, will be used
with great effect both by the presses in the in
terest of Douglas, and the Black Repnblicans-
to ridicule and ruin me.
l can do nothing against Lawrence. The
people have done nothing to justify me in bonn
harding the town, or arresting the leaders of the
recent organization. Even if they usurped Of
flee, 1 am sorry to confess. l could not move
against them until Courts had issued warrents
and their officers resisted, which-so cunning

wish to remove the troops from here. can
not send them to Utah, because, as you may
have guessed the party do not intend to fight the
country into the arms ofthe Black Republicans,

they have.
Can you not send down courier demanding
a reinforcement for protection against the Indi-

GOV. WALKERS IIQroR BILL.


The city council of Leavcnwortb have refus-
ed to pay the Governors liquor bill. The facts
of the case are stated in the report of the COM
mittee to whom the bill was submitted. i sub
join it.
LEAvESw ORTIZ CRY. K T.,
July Goth, 1857. {
"The committee TO whom was referred the bill
presented to the City Council, against the CITY
of Leavenworth, for The entertainment of Gov
ernor Walker and suite, ask leave TO make the
following report:
ave find, on examination, that upon the ar
rival of his excellency, Robt. j. Walker, in our
city on the 25th ef May last, that the city couu-
ell passed 4 resolution rendering the hospitality
of the city TO the new Governor, believing that
the then acting council contemplated giving his
Excellency an entertainment suitable 10 the oc-
casion and creditable TO our young city.
At o'clock of the same day. the Governor
was requested to address the citizens who had
gathered in large numbers in front of the Plant
er's House; he refused to address them, but in
lieu thereof had bottles of brandy and cham
payne to the value Of two hundred and ten dol
lars (210) distributed among the crowd that
were present and this bill is now presented by
the two proprietors of said Planters hotel for
payment.
We are first opposed to the allowance of this
bill because it was not contemplated by the city
council that the hospitality of this CITY. so
generously rendered his excellency, should be
thus abused.
And in the second place, that it would estab-
lish dangerous and pernicious precedent.
And in the third place, we viii not give our
influence nor open the city treasury for the en-
courgement of iatemperance; the mother Of
crime.
We therefore recommend that the bill be laid
on the table. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

COL. TITUS.

Col Titus, the coward of Nicaragua and Kan
sas notoriety has arrived in the territory. He
was in Lawrence on Saturday, Col. Joe Ander-
son, Lexington, Missouri, "a member of the ter
ritorial Legislature and the Constitutional Con-
vention,) accompanied the returning fillibuster.
A Free State prisoner, whom he barbaronsly
punished last autumn. followed him to New
Orleans for the purpose of shooting him. Both
have seen each other since Titus returned. If
Titus should be suddenly sent to the spirit
world, some day-and at an carly day-you
need not be surprised at the intelligence. He
had better be careful of his health.

The conflict of jurisdiction which ha
been going on for some time in New Yorl
City, relative to the Municipal and Pc
lice Administrations, has at length re
suited in an appeal to arms, and riot ano
bloodshed have been the result. On Sat
urday night a riot took place in the elev
enth ward, in consequence of collision
between the Metropolitan and Municipal
police. The Municipal men had two o
their number arrested for interference il
an alteration between certain /" Metro.
politans" and a prisoner who refused tc
recognize them. The Municipal men
were led off by squad of twenty from
the new station, the prisoner being left to
escape. A great crowd gathered around
the Metropolitan station, and for a time
threatened its destruction, which would
have been accomplished had it not been
defended by the Municipal men. Z After
the two policemen were bailed out $500
each), quite demonstration took place
Great excitement prevailed through the
night, and when two of the Metropolitan
police finally went forth to patrol, one
was stabbed and both so badly beaten that
no others ventured out afterwards.

er serious riot occurred in the Park to-
day, in consequence of an attempt by the

Streets. The Metropolitan police, while
ascending in body the City Hall steps,
were beaten back with clubs by the May

hurt-Capt. Dilks reported MORALLY
wounded. The Park is filled with an ex-
cited crowd. The military, it is report

ANOTHER OF THE CAPTIVE WO.
MEN RESCUED.

The Equator arrived last evening from
Red Wood Agency, having on board
Messrs. Robertson and Campbell, Indian
traders of Red Wood and Yellow Medi-
cine, and Ma-za cutana-ni, Un-patan to-
che-ca and Casta-ma-za, Sioux Indians
sent out by Major Flandrau to rescue the
captive woman, Mrs. Noble and Miss
Gardner. They were accompanied down
by one of, and the only remaining surviv-
ing captive woman taken at the Spirit Lake
Massacre, Miss Gardner.
1t seems, from what we could CLEAN,
these Indians proceeded on their march
to band of Yanctons, numbering some
100 lodges. On their way they across
the trail Of the out-lawed Sioux who COM
mitted the Spirit Lake and Springfield
outrages, which they followed and found
the murdered body of Mrs. Noble. On
arriving among the Yanctons they found
and effected the pure base of Miss Gard
ner.
The manner of Mrs. Mobiles death was
as follows: The captives--Mrs Noble
and Miss Gardner-had been obtained
from Ink pa dutah, one Of the out-lawed
ruffians, by Yancton Indian, and were
in his lodge encamped an large prairie /;
Ink-pa-dutah came into the lodge at night,
and told Mrs. N. to go Oh the outside of
the tent. Mrs. N. refused, saying she
would rather stay inside if they killed her.
She was then seized and carried out. when
she was murdered in the most brutal man
ner
Miss Gardner is a young girl, apparent
ly not more than fifteen, of an interesting
appearance and modest behavior. She is
left IN the world on orphan and friendless.
Her father, mother, sister, brother-in law
and family were all mastered. She has
but an only sister in the vicinity of Fort
Dodge, Iowa, to whom Miss G. proposes
to CO. We learn that late last evening a
subscription was started for her, and
many generous donations made by citi-
zens and strangers, who were at the Full
Ter. This is commendable move in
which we hope a generous hearted public
will speedily respond.
