BOOK FROM GOV. GEARY.

The Chicago Tribune has the following statement.
We presume the informant of that journal is Governor
German OF Minnesota:
I'VE are told by Democra. OF unquestioned faith
funess to his party hmsef G0reTR0r, that IN late
conversation with Gov. Geary, he learned that that
gentleman is preparing from his diary faithfully kept
during his administration summary OF events IN
Kansas a. they came under his own personal or
official observation. We are told by NE -ame au-
hority, that in that book, when Is given TO the
country the allegation. of the Republican Journals in
relation To- the nend>h atrocities practiced upon the
Frre.Siate men by their Borler-Ruian invader. will
be not only confirmed but fully proved. Il rW be

Some of these had been shot Drained. and thrown
out by the roadside to rot under the burning sun.
Other. had been scaped a. Indians scalp their vie

back; on his breast fastened written warning
to all other "Abolitionsts. Some were buried just
beneath the prairie sod their hands and arms LETT
sticking out of the shallow holes into which they had
been thrown. Upon others the nameless mutlations
of private parts which characterize the ferocious joy
OF the Indian, in the moment OF victory, had been
committed In all cases, brutality seemed 10 nave
exhausted itselfin insulting what among all civilized
men, whether friend foe, are looked upon with re-
sp.ct--tbe bodies of the dead.
Had these things appeared in the letters detailing
events in Kansas between MAY and November last,
the journal publishing them would have been suspect
ed of exaggeration, even by its own political friends
yet more than of the atrocities which the Governor
will describe was written out by faithful corespon
dents for our columns but refused publication for
the reasons alleged above.
What efforts may be made 10 suppress revelations
like these which will not only convict the Missourlans
and their allies Of all that has been charged uBpn
them but the entire press of the North
Of completely in, criminal silence in regard TO- these
atrocities we cannot tell. Buff the Governor present
determination is adhered to, his will be the sensation
