PRO.SLAyERY ACCOUNT OF THE FORT
SCOTT AFFAIR.

Special DspseA to H. n l. Herald q. ,o--
WAsRISGroS, Dec. 26. 1851.
Letters were to-day received at the State Depart
ment from Chief JusticeWilsms, OF Kansas Territory,
giving detailed account of disturbances which have
taken place in the vicinity of Fort Scott. He says:
Authentic information, verified by the oathsof most
credible witnesses, has been brought to-day TO Gov.
crnor stanton, that body of men. fully armed and
equipped with Shsrps rifles and revolvers, to the
of Fort Scott under the command Of one Mont.
gomery, who was a member of the Topeka Conyen-
ton TINS company, or portion OF II, proceeded 10
the houses of Messrs WATSON Gourly and SOuthwood.
and violently seized them. tied them. and took them
away, since which tune nothing has been heard OF
them. report ia abroad that they murdered them.
This. however, | think lacks authenticity Complaint
in due form of law having been made Of these acts
before Justice Of the Peace, the proper process WAS
put into the hands of the Marshal to arrest the Offend
He proceeded to their rendezvous IN Southwo0ds
house. found il fortified and a. he approached il fifty
men armed with Sharps rites and reyolvers came
forth from the house in military order, commanded by
Montgomery and demanded Of him an account Of his
bushes there Having informed them that he was
the Marshal and that he had come to arrest them or
of them, by virtue of legal process their reply
that they had received dispatch from James II.
Lane that the Legislature in session had repealed
AL the laws of this Territory, and that they were Their
law makers aud executors; therefore they would
not permit any arrests to be made, and that he might
leave Finding their determination to resist MN anu
knowing that he alone could not withstand the iorce
opposed TO him, he left them and returned 10 Fort

these men openly profess 10 be organized and sent to
Fort Scott and vicinity by Gen. Lane. As they openly
and boldly swear they will burn Fort Scott the citizens
Of that place are virtually besieged and obliged 10 be

The night is very DARK, gloomy and cold.
Secretary Stanton promised not to send the troops
down in obedience to the reauisiton OF the Pro-
Slavery men, until he consul,ej with Free-Stase

THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
IECOMPToy. KIT DEE Il Is5

LECoMPToN, X. T., Dee. Il, 1857.
The Territorial Legislature has closed the work
Of the special session. What they have done viii
sum up very briefly. They repealed the law al.
thorizing the Convention that framed the Lecomp-
ton Constitution; vetoed BY Stanton-passed over
his veto. They passed the Militia law; vetoed by
Stanton-passed over his veto. They elected on
GERS under it. They provided for submitting the
Lecompton Constitution TO fair vote of the people
on the 4th of January; approved by Stanton. They
passed q Law TO punish election frauds; approved
by Stanton. They passed joint resolution pro-
testing against the Lecompton Constitution setting
forth the facts in connection with il. and, a. the
representatives and Governor Of the Territory, de.
manded that Congress shall not admit Kansas "a q
State under il; signed BY Stanton. They proposed
concurrent resolution, reaffrming the Topeka Con-
stiutiOn declaring il to be the organic law for the
future State, chosek as such BY a majority of the
people and demanding admission under it 40 State
Of the Union. This was placed in the shape of a
concurrent resolution, 10 relieve Stanton from the
necessity Of signing it. Both Of these sets of
buttons are TO be- sent by the Speaker Of the House
and President Of the Council to the President and
each presiding officer Of Congress.
The Legislature rejected the bill for electing dele
gates to Constitutional Convention. They neg
lected or refused 10 take any steps for submitting
the Topeka Constitution together with the LecOmp-
ton Constitution. They rejected the bill providing
for electing officers under the Lecomptou Constitu-
tion in January, to be the officers in case of the
acceptance Of said Constitution by Congress.
Such is the sum and substance of their labors.
They would have done much more but for their
pledge to Stanton. The people will be very much
dissatisfied with their action. They have done some
good things, however.
