Eighty Important from Kansas.

st. Louis, Dec. 80.
Kansas advices to the oath which
have just been received by the Demo
crat says that civil wEr was raging in
Bourbon Comfy. Several conflicts had
occurred between the free-state and pro-
slavery parties. A number of prisoners
were taken on both sides. The United
States Marshal with force of 80 men
dmanded the surrender of the Free State
party. The demand was answered by q
volley of musket balls. The fire was re-
turned and the fight lasted for an hour.
The pro-slavery men finally retreated
with loss of one man killed and two
mortally wounded. The United States
Marshal was dangerously wounded.
Gen. Lane was entrenched at Sugar
Mound determined to fight the dragons
if they attacked him. A battle was re-
garded as inevitable.
!. Exciting debates had taken place
In the Lawrence Convention. The com
mittee on resolutions presented three re-
ports. The majority report disapproves
voting for State Officers. First minori-
ty report recommends the State ticket
Second, signed by Redpath, recommends
participation in the election, for the pur-
pose of destroying the Lecompton Con-
stitution. That no man be nominated
who will not pledge himself to crush it..
That the Topeka Constitution be submit
ted to the people, and that loyalty to that
instrument be made the test of fealty to
the free state party, the Legislature re-
peal the present code of laws. Robin
son, Philips, Conway, Schuyler, and
Vaughan, were in favor of voting. The
most radical and revolutionary speeches
were made.

The Democrats Of Wisconsin held Mass

Administrator, on Kansas MATTERS. The James,

Notwithstanding the assurances of our neigh

there is no difference between the Prssident and
Mr.. Dauglas, upon the popular sovereignty
doctrine. the mass Of the Democratic party seem

Result of the Kansas Election Unrelcoms Ner.
for the Administration.


Washington, Dec. 90.
In the midst of the fillibuster excitement we
have another element turning mp to plague the
Administration and accumulate it, embarrass-
menrs. Extremes meet and Nicaragua at
one end and Kansas at the other, rnsh np0n ms
with startling events at the same instant.
The intelligence that the Constitution of Kan
sas has been ratified with the pro slavery clause
is a bomb-sbel which the Administration did
not anticipate.
Among those Northern men who had proposed
to sustain the Presidents policy. it excited an in
describable panic; and by the time the discus
sion is resumed in the Senate we shall fna

Already some of them begin to hint that they

dictate my declaration that politicians are not
prepared TO rush directly into the Jaws Of certain
destruction. The two new Senators from Min
nesota Just elected are of the Douglas school Of
politicians and will follow his lead in opposition
to The Lecompton fraud.
On the other hand the Southern men W no have

IMPROVEMENTS AT KENosHA.-T This
city exhibits a steady onward growth.
The railroad running from there west
to connect with Rockford, and from
thence to the Mississippi,is already com
pleted and cars running some twelve
miles at the eastern end. No enterprise
is on better or more substantial foot.
ing, and its completion at no distant day
is certain.
The city has kept steadily at the har.
Dor improvement, and owning one of the
best dredges on the lake, has already
made good harbor, which, in time, no
doubt, will be improved to be equal to
any on the lake. But small dredging
inside is required to make abundance OF
room-work which will be done as the
room is needed.
Many new buildings have been erect
ed during the past season, some ofthem
of most substantial and durable char
acter. Main St. particularly has been
very much improved by the remodeling
and new finishing of the old business
structures and the erection ofnew ones.
Among the new ones, the County Bank
building, erected by Kimball q Quarles
will prove not only handsome struc-
ture, but model of strength and dura-
bility.
One of the very best piers on the
lake will be found here. The whole
pier interest of the city consolidated it.
self under an act of the last Legisla-
ture, and uniting its means, energies
and experience under the name of the
Kenosha Pier Company, has made a
structure which for convenience, strength
and massive neatness, is not equalled on
the lakes.
Since the commencement of the rail-
road and the partial completion of the
harbor, much improvement in dock and
warehouse building has been done in
side. The most prominent and notice
able improvement however, is n new
warehouse being erected inside, BY
Messrs. kimball & Quarles. Its d.
mansions we are not informed of, but
its towering, massive character will
strike the eye and enlist the attention of
the visitor the first thing, on entering
the city in any direction. There may
possibly be larger warehouses in the
State, but more durable structure or
one better adapted to the purpose de.
signed, cannot be found anywhere. Its
capacity for storage will be immense.
as it has all the modern appliances OF
steam elevators, &c, with convenient
dockage, and a connection with the cas-
tern terminus of the railroad, it must
do, in time, a great business. 1t is
to be covered on the outside with sheet
iron.
No city in the State, has fairer fu-
ture before it than Kenosha. With a
good harbor, railroad running through
one of the most fertile countries in the
world, in fair financial condition, it is
certain that as good times return its
course will be rapidly onward.-Ml-
icdukee Free Democrat.
