contains 4 letter from Moneka, Linn county,
dated the goth ult, stating that on the 10Th
party of pro-slavery men from Missouri,
came into trading post situated on the road
from Fort Scott 10 Leayenworth, where it
crosses the Usage river, taking two men An
drews and Campbcl( prisoners. Further ON
they captured Mr.. Stilwell, recently from
Iowa, and man named Reed; and continu-
ing on the road towards Kansas City, until
they had taken twelve men. This Tarty
halted IN a deep ravinc, when their Prisoners
with the exception Of Mr.. Anirews. who had
been dismissed from custody, were formed in
a line and fred ulon. Five were killed, viz;
Stlwell, Ross, Colchester, Robinson and Camp
bell; six were wounded. After the accom-
plishmcnt Of their work the rullians rode

Storehouse Disaster in Kansas City.

We noticed in yesterdays issue that the
large storehouse Of Messrs. McCarty IL Ran
som, IN Kansas City, occupied with govern
ment stores, had fallen to the ground. The
steamer w. II. Russell was lying at the land
ing at Kansas on Sunday, and her officers
state that there was about 600 tons of freight
in the building. 1t consisted Of bacon, can.
dies soap and other government goods, which
were stored in the second story, and placed
in the middle Of the fo3r. 1t seems that
this weight had been properly distributed
over the floor, and that the pressures being
so heavy in the centre caused the joists and
supports 10 give way, and the whole WAS pre-
ciptated to the basement. The walls of the
building are said TO have been three feet IN
thickness, and the structure was considered
the strongest and most substantial piece Of
masonry in the city. The bolts which passed
through the walls into the joists were pulled
through the walls. After the second floor
gave way the other floors followed, and the
roof fell in. The front and portions of the
other walls are still standing.
The building cost $4,000. Much Of the
freight was not of n perishablo nature, but
the damage will be cousiderable.--No. Rep.

Lanes Banditti.

A gentleman from Independence, who left
there on Saturday last, informs Us that, short
ly before his departure, an express messen-
ger arrived from Fort Scott, stating that the
people of that country, driven to desperation
by the lawless acts OF jim Lanes bandit,i
under Montgomery, assembled to the num-
Der Of thirty, attacked the camp Oft the bandtti
before they were aware Of it-killed eleven
at the first fire and wounded another. The
banditt fled precip,iately, and Montgomery
with them. The latter numbered seventy
persous-the people, as we have already said,
thirty, composed Of men Of all parties, deter

was formerly preacher in Jackson county,
