The CASE OF Carr TOWNSEND, OF THE SLA-
vEE EcHo.--A despatch from Boston informs
US that Judge Sprague, of the United States
District Court, has decided that the court has
no jurisdiction IN the case of Capt Townsend,
the SLAYER, and that he must be reminded foI
trial to the district where he first landed. which
is Key West The opinion of Judge SPrague
Is not final in this matter, but may be overruled
by Judge Clifford, and from the latter may 70

bility is, however. that Townsend viii be remain
ded to Florida for trial, in which case his ad-
missions tf reporters of journals in New York
are less likely to be brought before the court
and his conviction for the crime Of which be Is,
beyond all doubt, guilty, is highly improbable

OF In to-day's paper may be found
memorial from the Free State officers
elected under the Leeempton Constitu-
ton, which viii explain the position of
that portion of the Free State party who
have been characterized as siBoltersD by
the convention first assembled at Law
renee. 1t has, we believe, been the inten-
ton of every honest citizenrof the Terri
tory, to avail himself of the privileges se-
cured by the elective franchise whenever
an opportunity was afforded to do so.-
Our Territorial Legislature had, in an ex-
ira session, passed a law Submitting the
Lecompton swindle, and throwing guard
around the ballot-box, 1t was hence, i'm
periling the Free State cause not one
whit, to secure the officers, and thus block
the pro-slavery game. It was done, and
that most effeetualiy, notwithstanding but
fraction of the Free State party partici-
pated, and by the apportionnent were
dlsfranchissa. What commentary will
this be upon that bogus instrument and
its friends-the administration, when it is
presented, every branch of power under
it maintained by Free State men, who
send their earnest protest not to be recog-
nized as officers !? This must be the most
effecttial manner of killing it off.-Osa-
,ootamie Herald.

Civil War.

0n turning over the files of the Come
autville Courier, formerly published by
s,we found the following under the head
Of civil War;" as the leading editorial
in the number dated June q, 1854,
nearly four years ago. 1t will be seen
that we occupied the same position then
IN regard to war and voting which we oc-
eupy at the present time. But we copy !:
ut is surprising to see the manner some
editors handle the late difficulties with the
south. and their readiness to crimson the
land with blood to check the encroach-
ments OF the slave power. 4 dissolution
OF the Union and civil war are common
place expressions, and are preferred, it
would seem, as the best method to check
unjust legislation.
We thought we were ultra anti-slavery,
aud could go as far as any person would
dare do, to extirpate a system which we
conceive, as did the noble Wesley, to be
the sum of all villainies - but we con-
less that when civil war, and cities in con-
migration, and universal anarchy are talk
ed Of as erpeaients during such periods of
excitement as those we have recently pass
ed through, we feel like acknowledge
that We are out Heroded.
We have ever seen in the peaceful bal
lot,se$ az universal panacea for all our
political lila and yvher tha co,,ntrx Sba n
eeSome sufficiently conscious of its own
danger it will apply the needed remedy.
Anappeal to the God of battles is the last
resort, aud in q republican governments
can never be employed while the elective
franchise will heal every wrong and re.
dress every grievance. If the RIGHr il
not triumphant with paper ballots, what
evidence have We it would be when lead
eh ones We're employed ?"

Versailles, in shawnee County.

We learn that a town has been located
on 10 creek, where the Santa Fe road
crosses that stream, and is known as Yer
sales. The proprietors are Free State
men, of energetic business habits, who
are in the habit of accomplishing what
they undertake. Parties outside of the
town company have been interested in it,
who have obligated themselves to add
$4,000 worth of permanent improve
ments on the town site during the present
veal. A hotel 26 by A feet, 2 stories
high with Is rooms, will be finished in
GOOD style, in one month, and for rent at
fair price. Situated on the great Santa
Fe route, at good watering place, it
cannot be else than a good location. It
is 80 miles distant from Lawrence, and
about 48 miles east of Council Grove, and
s miles east of Burlingame. The town
company have erected store house,
which they are desirous of renting. We
are requested to state that Free State me-
chanics, will be donated as many lots as
they viii improve by building upon them.
The proprictors are now anxious to secure
steam saw mill on the town site, and
offer stock and timber as an inducement
for such an improvement.
4 friend writing us from that place says
there is au abundance of coal within three
miles, the veins of which are full three
feetin thickness and of good quality.
Our correspondent states that black
smith shop is greatly needed there, more
particularly since wagon shop is already
being erected. Lumber for building pur-
poses is delivered on the town site for
$40 thousand. Lime is plenty at 25
cents bushel, and sand accessible within
half mile.
Mr. THRooP, who resides at Versailles,
viii interest persons visiting the place in
its advantages, and will show settlers the
vacant claims in the vicinity. Being on
the natural route from. Lawrence to the
southwestern part of the Territory, by
J way of Twin Mound, Burlingame and
Emporia, it will furnish good stopping
place for travellers. q

Mr.. BEowH.-Mondsy morning, Jan.
18th, 1853 friend and myself, started
on a trip up the Republican; we struck
the Wild Cat about four miles from here.
followed up il valley about 5 miles toshs
residence of Lorenzo WestoFer, our Pro
bate Judge, where we crossed the Wild
Cat and struck out on the high rolling
prairie. It rises very high on the South
side of the creek in some places coming
close to the creek, the valley being on she
North side, and takes the name Of bluffs.
We travelled on this prairie about IL miles
when we struck into the valley OF Msdi-
son creek, which empties into tho Repub-
lican. Passing down about 2 IL miles
we struck upon the Republican. At this
point town has lately been laid out BY
DR.. Webb, Major Barry. S. D. Heesson,
and Others. 1t called Bachelor, sSa bids
fair to become a town Of Importance.
/ took claim adjoining the town site,
and Immediately commenced my house.
1t being only 10 feet square we soon had
it raised and boarded, and the second
night lodged in it, in regular frontier styie'
with camp fire in one corner, and bed on
the ground in the other.
Early Wednesday morning the 10th
we left Bachelor and turned our course
bomewara by way of Fort Riley, and
Ogden. From Bachelor to the Fort
it is IL miles. The road follows divide
on the high prairie. The best timber
claims for 20 miles above the Fort are
taken on the Republican. but on the prai-
RE we passed but one cabin on the whole
route, but there are yet great many fair
claims open, and 1 have no doubt tho
Republican will be settled up for fifty
miles the coming season. l think emf
grants will do well to look at this portion
of the country before settling elsewhere.
The soil along the valley of she Republi-
can is similar to that of the Kansas bot
tom, rather sandy, but the soil ON the
creek is very rich. At Fort Riley we took
the Government road from Riley. to
Leavenworth, passing through Ogden,
FIVE miles below Fort Riley. The Land
Office is located at this place. Aside from
that, the place is of butlittle Importance,
as suppose ere this the county seat has
been removed from there to Manhattan.
