The Linn County Massacre.

From published statement made by Rev.
Mr.. Read, Baptist minister who was one
of the parties shot at the time of the late
massacre in Linn county, we condense the
following facts in regard to the affair: The
date of it was the 18th day of Nav last
Mr.. Read lives near the Missouri State line,
about 25 miles from Fort Scott. On the
morning of the day mentioned, he was at
the house of neighbor, when Capt Hamil-
ton, of Fort Scott, one of the chief Border
Rufians of that region, with about thirty
men all mounted and armed, rode up and
ordered him and his neighbor to fall into
line. They did so. The ruffians then
searched the house and took whatever they
wanted. A man driving two horse team
came along, whom they took with his team.
They then started with the prisoners they
had taken, and soon came upon four or five
more whom they took. They nowhad eley-
en- prisoners. After marching short dis
tance farther the company halted and the
Ifisoners were conducted into ravine and
placed in a line fronting the company, about
ten feet distant. Hamilton then gave the
order to fire. The order was not obeyed,
and he repeated it twice without effect, his
men evidently being disposed to disobey.-
He then drew his revolver, cooked and point
ed it, and gave the order again to fire suit
fred. All the prisoners fell-some dead,
others feigning to be. Hamilton's men then
dismounted and wents among the bodies,
searching them and shooting some whom
they discovered were not dead. They then
left There were FIVE killed-the other six
Rere all wounded-some of them severely.
The wounded succeeded in getting assis
tanee, and are all in a fair way for recov-
ering.
a company of citizens gathered imme-
diately, and went in pursuit of the Ruffians,
but they had made good their escape into
Missouri
The names of those killed are as follows ::
John F. Campbell. NJ. Robinson. VIM. Still
well. Ross. and Colpetzer. The names of
the wounded are: B. L. Read, VIM. Har-
grove, A. Hargrove, Amos Hall, Austin
Hall, and Charles Snyder.
These men were all peaeeable, orderly
citizens, and had never been identified with
any of the disturbances in that region
Their death has cast gloom upon the en-
tire community. This gang is the same
that has created all the disturbance in that
quarter for the last year; and was the last
remnant of Buford's Ruffians. They had
been driven from pillar to post, until st last
Fort Scott was the only retreat where they
could find E refuge. This had now become
too hot for them. and they determined to
strike blow and then leave the country
They calculated well. and have all escaped.
1t is not probable that they viii ever be
brought TO justice. as they have undoubt-
edIy gone TO the South, waere they came
from originally. We hope this is the last
of such outrages we shall have to record.

DEAR SR:-Your letter of this date has
Just been received, and hasten to say that,
in my Judgment, the conference bin should
be adopted. expressed the opinion on the
first reading of the bill on Saturday last,
and must adhere to it, although if the bill
had been, as falsely represented, submis-
sion of the Ordinance only; should have
sternly opposed it. This bill, as interpret
ed 6y me, is in precise conformity with my
views, and, in following the path where
duty and conscience bade me, must sup
port it, must be permitted, however, to
do this in such way as will cast no CEN
sure on valued friends, who honestly op-
pose this bill, because their construction of
it. differs from my own. Whilst this bill
maintained my views as to popular sover-
eighty, it would if adopted, save the Union
from infinite peril If the bill passes, the
odious Lecompton Constitution, born in
fraud; and baptised in forgery and perjury,
will be defeated by an overwhelming vote
of the people of Kanzas, thus demonstrat-
ing by practical results the truth of my in
depreciation that the bill does in fact sub
nit the Constitution to the popular suffrage.
for ratification or rejection, which is all
that Ishsve ever required. With such a
bill, and such decision of the people, un-
der it, no formidable effort win ever again
be made to Withhold from the people of in
ehoate States vote for or against the rati-
feation or rejection of these State Consti-
tutions. and the ofigarchive doctrine of
Conventional sovereignty will be abandoned.
I write in great haste. and win. at future
period, embody my views fully in letter
of publication, as expressed in our recent
conversation.

slaves are nor Property, Lake Hos,
&C., &c.

Chief Justice fancy and the Shareholders
generally, have been making labored efforts
Tor como time past to impress the public
mind that slaves are mere property like cat
tic and hogs. And they have already suc-
cesded to some extent in introducing this
idea and this kind Of phraseoiogy into the
minds and speeches of their doughface SER
vitors Of the North.
The logical inference from this doctrine Ia
denial Of the doctrine of the Bible, that
the blacks are our brethren Of mankind, ore.
ated Of one blood with us and redeemed by
the blood Of Jesus Christ, for 1t degrades
the slave to the level Of the mule. 1t is a
denial, also, OF the doctrine of the Consti-
tuition, which in no instance speaks Of the
slave rs property, but in the three instances
10 which slaves are alluded to in that instru-
ment It speaks Of them under the designation
Of persons. And in one Of these instances
hve OF these persons are accounted equal to
three white persons, in the ratio Of repre-
ssntation and taxation. But surely no one
would contend that I've hogs are equal to
three white men.
The assumption that slaves are property
just like mules and oxen, is in direct contra
dictioD Of the whole legislation Of the slave
States. ANY man may kill his bullock with
impunisy, but If he kills his slave the law
declares that he shall be hung for murder.
The assumption that the slave 10 mere
property, subject to the same rules and con-
ditions NJ brutes, is violation Of the uni
versal sentiment Of the whole civilized
world.
Slaves are not mere property like live
stock in the important respects we have
named. Neither are they property, like live
stock, that man may carry with him into
foreign countries, or into ALL the States Of
this Union, for it is, as yet, conceded on oil
hands that the STAKEHOLDER cannot settle with
his slaves, and hold them as slaves, in those
States where Slavery is prohibited.
Then, if slaves are unlike other property
in all these particulars, and in many others
that We might name, it is sheer begging Of
the question, on false assumption, to say
that "a mans slaves are property like cattle
and horses, which he may take with him
wherever be goes" And which, because il
is property like such live stock, he may car
ry with him into the territory of the United
States.
