a Desperate Robbery.

In Washington a few, nights since, in the
absence of tiae Hon. Horace Clark in New
York, and bis wife only being in the house,
his house was entered at night by a body of
burglars and robbed. Mr.. Clark had taken a
house for the session on Franklin Square, a
somewhat remote part Of the city, which he
has in part furnished, especially III things or
aamental and daily most useful. He went to
New York a few days and left his wife in
charge. The servants do not sleep in the
house-at least the men servants-but in a
building in the rear. During the night Mrs.
Clark, when ia bed, was walked up, and the
pleasent-spectacle was opened to her eyes. I'M
der full gas light, of a burglar with an uplift-
ed knife over her head, crying out, if she
stirred, the knife should be plunged to her
heart. Likea sensible woman, she kept still,
and the burglars went on to complete their
JOB. The one with a knife encouraged his
companions below to go on, as the woman
dare not stir, and on on they went, sacking
the housed Of everything valuable and remove
able It was some time after they left before
the lady could sufficiently recover from her
paralysis Of the establishment to give the
alarm.

Kansas Excitement at Washington


The report Of an engagement between Lanes
troops, and the United States Dragons at
Sugar Mound, IA which the dragons were re-
pulsed. is. credited here in spite Of the contra
diction telegfaphed from Cincinnati. Infor-
nation received here makes such a collision
extremely probeble.
At the last accounts the Territorial militia
under Lane had resolved to defend Fort Scott
from the Missouri intrnders at any cost. The
fort was only four miles from the Missouri
line.
The latest adviees say that Lane had 1900
men and plenty Of ammunition.
There is great excitement here on the sub
ject.
The st. Louis Democrats report of the en-
gagement referred to above, is as follows:
" On Friday, the 25th nlt., news reached
~Leavenworth, that al engagement had taken
place between the troops under Gen. Lane at

AS soon as the news OF the engagement
was received BY the people, they commenced
organizing IN military companies, and were
hurrylng forward to assist Lane. 1t was ex-
pected before the dragons would arrive that
Laue would be reinforced by some 1880 men.
Ihe most intense excitement prevailed.
One OF the gentlemen who passed through
Lawrence on Friday saw Gen. Lane and Gov,
Roblson IN that town. They were mounted
and completely armed, and appeared much ex-
cited They were addressing the people, who
surrounded7them in great numbers, and urged
them to maintain their rights and succor their
friends. The people of Lawrence were prepar-
ing to take the field. John Calhoun has fed
