The Killing OF Jenkins. of Law
renee, by Gen. LaHe-Lane Bad
Iy Misunderstanding i'm The
Territory about it-ParticIriaTS
OF the Tragedy.

Oi tHc HriSeuy'
Some ofthe particulars Of this affair
have been given to the readers by
telegraph, but the details are not as
full us tire following. which we clipped
from the St. Louis Democrat, (Rep., }
of the Sth:
There was a dispute between Lane
and jenkins, concerning a valuable
land claim, lying in close proximity
to Lawrence. This dispute engender-
ed a cordial hatred, which extended
to the private relations Of the parties.
Some weeks ago Lanes party arrived
in Kansas, and Lane took them upon
the contested claim, without having a
legal title to the same-the suit con-
cerning the title being still before the
proper tribunal. This action on the
part of Lane excited jenkins, but
nothing passed between them until
Friday, the 4th inst. On this day
Jenkins informed Lane that he inten-
ded drawing some water from the well
on the claim. Lane told him to re-
irain, but Jenkins paid no attention to
the caution, and made his appearance
near the claim during the day. He
was provided with a gun and an axe,
and was accompanied by three COM
panions. AS he approached he LAID
down his gun, and took up the AK, to
knock the chain from the lock by
which it was fastened. AS he stepped
forward Lane appeared in front OF the
house, armed with loaded shotgun.
Jenkins gave a look of defiance at his
enemy, and in the next moment fell to
the earth-a corpse, having received
an immense charge Of buckshot in his
breast.
| AS jenkins fell one of his friends
fired three times at General Lane, one
J ball missing him, the other grazing
his forehead, and the third burying it.
selfin the calf OF his leg, bringing him
to the ground 1t was narrowing
: spectacle. The body of Mr.. Jenkins
was sUon removed and Lane taken
into custody. Mrs. jenkins was near
ly crazed at the fearful intelligence OF
TIE death of her husband. She is
lying in dangerous condition. Jen-
kins bore an excellent character, and
his loss will be deeply regretted.
1t is proper to state that General
t Lane claims that he was fully justified
in shooting down his Adjutant Gen.
3 eral-tor, strange as it may seem,
such jenkins was-and asserts that
he can establish his justification before
tie courts of his country.
The feeling against Lane was gen
: eral throughout the Territory.
f Last reports Indicate that there was
some talk of lynching Lane. but it is
hardly probable that this will be done.
Lane is at present in close custody,
! and his trial will come off at an early
! day.

The Harris and Hughes Difficult.
~.
WASHINGTON, Sat. June 5

In the House of Representatives,
on the I'd inst, Mr.. harris, ofIIlinois
denounced personal statement made
by Mr.. Hughes, of Indiana, as false,
when Hughes, called him altar. Mr..
Harris replied, "It is false, and you
can wear it at your pleasure. Mr.
Hughes subsequently sent a challenge
to Mr.. Harris, which was promptly
accepted. Through the influence ol
the friends of both parties the chal-
lenge was afterwards suspended, oil
temporarily withdrawn, for explana.
ton, and late at night was made, by
which the offensive language was
Withdrawn by each in the order il

DAMAGE TO THE CANAL.-The dam.

DAMAGE TO THE CANAL.--The G dam.
age done the canal between this city
and Portsmouth by the late freshet
is said to be great that it cannot 80 be
repaired for the resumption OF navi-
cation before before the 18th OF July.
From this it would appear that the
decision of the Supreme Court, which
invalidated the canal contracts, was
made at the right time for our friend
Foster, who had this section Of the
canal by contract.-Ml ADJ.

Utah war 'En;ded.

We clip the following from the re
ported proceedings of the House o
Representatives on Thursday last.
| HOUSE.-A message from the
President was presented, announcing
THE end Of the Mormon war. The
reading ofit was several times inter.
rupted by laughter. When the read
ling was finished, various expressions
were heard in different parts Of the
hall, such as, $50, the Mormon war
is ended" millions saved to the
Treasury" 81 am glad ofit," &c.
The documents were ordered to be
Iprinted.-The Chairman of she
Committee Of Ways and Means want.
ed to 60 into a Committee of the
Whole, but the House, apparently,
had glory enough for one day" and
joyfully adjourned.
We add the following dispatch from
Washington bearing the same date:
A message was received by Con.
gress to-day from the President, in,
closing copy of the dispatch from
Governor Cumming, dated May O.
From the tenor OF the dispatch the
President SAYS he has reason to believe
that our difficulties with Utah have
terminated, and the laws have been
redresscd. lie congratulates Congress
on this auspicious event, and expires.
ses an opinion that there is no occa-
sion to make any appropriation for the
three regiments of volunteers recently
authorized for the purpose Of quelling
disturbances in Utah, and for the pro.
lection OF emigrant trains AMI sup
plies.
We trust there is no hoax about the
matter, and that Brigham has actually
given up his hostile intentions. Moth.
ing bnt the straightforward, determin,
ed policy OF the government could
have brought the Mormon leaders tc
a proper sense Of their folly.

A New Party.


There is a disposition manifested
among our political opponents to
abandon the Republican party and go
into a new organization which shall
combine the fag.ends of all factions
against the democracy. The platform,
or creed, Of this new party is simply,
Opposition to the democracy" and
its name is Peoples Party" Dem.
ocrats have no objection to fight their
opponents under whatever name OF
guise they may assume, and the
peoples party" will, in the end, fare
no better than the old Whigparty and
the late American and Republican
parties. Standing by the Constitu.
tion and the Union, and advocating
the principles held by Jefferson, Mad,
ison and Jack son, the Democratic
party has beaten every foe. which il
has encountered for half century
past, and So long as it holds to the
same doctrines, can never be perma,
nently vanquished. The formation
of new parties by its opponents has
never seriously injured it, and its dc.
feat today would only loreshadow its
victory tomorrow. Its power OF re.
cuperation has astonished its oppo
nents time and again, and we venture
to assert that should this new party
triumph this fall, the democracy wo'd
sweep it from existence in 1860.

Please Excuse VintOn.
The Portsmouth Tribune advocates
the election OF Judge VIM. V. Peck
to Congress-proposes to put him
through" without either Convention
or pledges, subject only to the decision
ofthe people at the polls. The Trib.
une is assured that Ross and Lawrence
are for the Judge, that Galiia has no
preference, that jackson has acqW.
esced and that" Vinton and Pike will
do the same"
We beg to suggest that the Tribune
had better excuse Vinton-it would
oe much better for the Judge. Vnton
has little matter to settle with one
Valentine B. Horton, who has been
misrepresenting her at Washington,
and, as she always votes the Demo.
cratic ticket, would not be likely to
aid the Judge to a seat in Congress,
even were she included in the Tenth
Congressional District.
The lronton Register is also in ia.
vor Of Judge Peck, and fixes up the
platform upon which he must stand.
No doubt the Judge feels highly com
plimented at the creed which his Iron.
ton friend proposes he shall swallow.
To put it in the shape ola resolution,
it would read somehow thus:
"Resolced, That We (Judge Peck
and his .riends) are in favor Of nOth-
ing, and opposed to everything dem
ocratic."

The following is the message from
President Buchanan announcing the
peaccable entrance of Gov. Cumming
into Utah. We hope nothing may
have occurred TO mar the pleasure the
country must feel at this official an
nouncemcnt Of the termination of the
Utah difficulties:
10 The Senate and House Of Representatives: !:
transmit the copy OF the dispatch
from Governor Cumming to the Sec
retary Of State, dated at Great Salt
Lake City on the 2d Of May, and re.
ceived at the Department Of State on
yesterday. From this there is reason
to believe that our difficulties with the
Territory Of Utah have terminated,
and the reign OF the Constitution and
laws have been restored. | congrat-
uIate you on this auspicious event.
| lose no time in communicating
this information, and in expressing
the opinion that there will be no oc-
casion to make any appropriations for
the purpose of calling into service the
two regiments Of volunteers author
lied by the act Of Congress, approved
on the 9TH Of April last, "ior the pur.
pose Of queIIng disturbances in the

islactory intelligence from Utah, be.
cause it will afford some relief to the .
treasury at a time demanding from
us the strictest economy, and when
the question which now arises upon
every appropriation is, whether it be
Of character SO important and urg-
ent as to brook no delay, and to jus.
tify and require a loan, and most
probably tax upon the people to
raise the money necessary for its pay
ment.
In regard to the regiment of volun.
tcers authorized by the same act of
Congress to be called into service for
the defense of the frontier OF Texas
against Indian hostIities, | desire to
leave this question to Congress, ob.
serving at the same. time that, in my
opinion, this State can be defended for
the present by the regular troops,
which have not yet been withdrawn
from its limits.

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug, 16, 1853.
To Her Moje.fy Tieto,ia, Queen Of Great Britain;
The President cordially recprocstes the con-
,zrstulstions Of her Msesty the Queen on the sue
Gers Of the great international enterprise, accom-
plshed by the science, skill and indomthble energy
of the two countries. 1t is triumph more
glorious because far more useful to mankind
Ihan was ever won by conqueror on the
field of battle May the Atlantic Telegraph,
nnder the blessing of Heaven, prove to
be q bond of perpetual peace and friendship
between the kindred Nations, and an instrument
destined by Divine Providence to difiuse religion,
civilization, liberty and law throughout the world.
In this view, will not all nations of Chrstendom
spontaneously unite in the declaration that it shall
be forever neutral, and that its communications
shall be held sscred in passing to their places OF
destination, even in the midst of hostilities
