OTTAWA CREEK, X. T., July ., 1858.
Great and universal excitement prevails through
out this unfortunate section of the Territory
Southern Kansas. From statements made III the
hearing of Free State men, by some OF the Pro-
Slavery banditti who were driven out OF Linn 20.
about Fix weeks since, those outlaws seem to have
been for long time past, and to be at the present
time, actively employed in collecting forces for the
purposes of making another foray into Kansas; this
time burying habltatIons, crops and people IN one
widespread stroke of desolation, robbery and muir
der.
The Infamous Col. Titus, who has been openly
organizing In Missouri II band OF Pro-Slavery ma
RAIDERS, with the ayowed design of leading them
settlers, miners, or explorers into Arzona-but
whose true intent has been to gather about him
mass Of worthy instruments, fitted for his ruilian
purpose of invading Kansas-is now lying with $50
me D. encampod in the Cherokee neutral lands south
of Linn Co., awaiting the appointed time, at which,
according to preconcerted plan, he is to march up
the valley of the Neosho River to the mouth of the
Big Sugar, there TO join Hamilton and a cores
pondirg band Of ruflians from the direction of
WestPort; thus uniting at that point body
of FIVE hundred desperadoes, whose systema-
tized duty will thereafter be TO plage, slaugh-
ter, burn and murder over the whole surface OF
Linn and Allen Counties \ fugitive, lately from
Missouri, met Hamilton alone near WestpOrt, and
saw three tents Of his encampmen', about which
there were at this time only some six or seven per-
SOILS visible engaged in play ng cards and with their
arms stacked near at hand. Ilamllt0n's company
amounts to near 500 men when united and some of
his band even place their available strength at 800.
These men, or beings IN human form, quarter them
selves without ceremony the people of Missouri,
many Of whom az shown in letters recently received
from thence, radically opposed to the purposes,
and especially the manners of these invaders,
although too weak TO oppose theeir designs.

else may be needed TO comfort and protect
them, are demanded with the most perfect freedom
by these champions of the Institution" and their
demands must be Immediately acceded TO. Part of
their support is derived from the Southern Propa-
gandst Fund, and the proceeds Of thefts from the
Kansas borders. Their profession and practice
would indicate some affinity with the numerous
borse-theyes who ibfes. the country south of Law
renee, and commit constant depredations upon the
property of the settlers. Fifteen horses were stO-
len within fortnight past from the valley OF the
NeOsho, and although one of their company was
hung by the Indignant citizens OF lie Roy, their
presence is still shown by the oss of horses in many
parts OF the Territory. Col. Titus, on borrowing
some horses in Bates County, before leaving Mis-
souri for the Indian Territory, remarked that he
would rptace them, as soon as he had receired
"supply from Kansas"
Without doubt extensive preparations are being
made to rayage Kansas, aud the whole line Of Mis-
souri, south of kaw River swarms with bands of
reckless villains who ready at any favorable op-
portunity TO repeat the tragedies Of the past, and
sustain the evil regulations they enjoy at present
Between their losses from theying and the threat
ened inroads by the united troops of Hamilton and
Titus, the people Of Linn and Allen Counties can
hope for little security or repose. BERYL.
