r. r. Meeting at ottumwa.

Pursuant to call issued by the Secreta-
ry thereof, a meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the jefferson City and Neosho
Valley Rail Road Company was held at Ot-
tumwa, on Wednesday the 9ath inst. Mr..
Army. the President of the road, had just
returned from Washington, where he had
been en- business connected with the road,
and where he had succeeded in securing
from the Commissioner of the General Land
Office an order to the Land Office at Le-
compton to reserve two hundred feet in
width through all lands hereafter pre-empt-
ed through which the line of road should
run. The1bill giving to the Territory of
Kansas lands for the construction of this
road failed to pass: but pledges of such a
character have been made by the Senate
and House Committees IS to render its pass
age at the next sessiona lmost certain.
A committee composed of Aessrs. Ban
croft. Cox, and Gilpatriek, was appointed
to confer with the jefferson City aud Usage
Valley &. B. Company. and tender them
the cooperation of this Company in their
enterprise of building road to the Nilsson
ri line to connect with the Neoeho Valley
road. It was resolved that the President
and Treasurer should make effort to secure
the subscription of three hundred addition
al shares of stock to defray the nesessary
expenses of survey, etc.
Nothing else of importance was transac-
ted and the Board adjourned to meet again
at Emporia, on the Soth of August.
The Kanzas news., 1858-07-31
Another Runan outraga.

On the 7th inst. two Free State men,
named respectively, Harris and Polk, who
live near Barnesville, in Bourbon county.
went into the neighborhood of Papinsviile,
Bates county, No., to look for some horses
which had been stolen from them the night
previous. They found their horses in pos
session of the Rufians who had stolen them
about FIVE miles south of Papinsville, and
demanded them. They were immediatelv
taken prisoners By the gang. and marched
to thickes. As soon as they arrived at the
thicket Harris broke and run from his cap
tors. He was fred at several times and
slightly wounded, but succeeded in making
his escape. But Polk was murdered on the
spot The body was taken to Papinsyine
the next day. and there recognized by a
Free State resident of No., who, for this
offence, was advised to s'leaTe the State for
his health No steps were taken by the
authorities to arrest the murderers. We
should like to know Ses long such things
are to be tolerated? If Missouri cannot
take care of her cut threats the people oi
Kansas viii be obliged to take them in hand

which ia something in fact but some
thing always to be subtFacted from some
thing else. What is known in msthemat-
ical science as negative quantity repre-
sents to our mind very fairly the con-
ceptions of many men in regard to what
they pompoasiy style Conservatism. -
The numerical superiority of such a par
ty amounts to nothing when left to stand
alone, except to be read ont sssomething
from nothing"
But we have said enough on this point.
We wish to be understood as belonging
to some party that believes in doing some
thing. Whatever good is in the individ-
ual or in society is conserved By progress
and not by stagnation; and progress is
fouAded on right action Believing this,
We shall work at what We find in our
way to do, and in the be st mode possible
under the circumstances.
As parties are now organized, we shall
support the principles of what is known as
the Republican party. and labor zealously
for their success. We shall agitate the
slavery question until an insurmountable
barrier is placed in the path of its further
ext ron. Reform in our National Az
MIN ration is much needed, and we shall
support men and measures looking to this
end. 4 further declaration of principles
We deem unnecessary at the present time.
Our sphere is to a certain extent local
one; and within it no foreign paper can
compete with us. We shall make it to the
advantage of every man in Central, South
ern and Southwestern Kansas to subscribe
to The News. We ask simply the sup
port we shall merit, which we expect to re-
ceiye. AS soon as our patronage will ad-
NIT of it we shall enlarge and in other re-
specss improve our paper. This we can do
at the end of another year if our friends
will assist us in circulating our paper
Our support is made up of s'mites," and
every subscription helps to swell the aggre-
gate. Every one of our present subscrib-
ers could get at least one more, which would
just double our present list, and we should
then be able to improve our paper very much
Let our friends think of these things.
The Kanzas news., 1858-07-31

we do not doubt that it viii be . town of.
considerable importance in the Neosho Val
ley. The meetings helSon that day were
well attended. and much interest manifested
in the enterprise of building railroad from
the Missouri State line 70 Emporia. by way
Of Ottumwa-
Wednesday at about o'closk P. II. we
started onsour return, taking the precaution
to come by way of the road leading along
The uplands. We found the road dry but
rough. The prairie is settled but about two
miles from Ottumwa. leaving thousands of
fine claims yet untaken. We know of no
better point for emigration than in this di-
reetion.
Before We had travelled far We became
aware, from the appearance of the heavens,
that t'storm was brewing" which would
probably oyertake US before we could ar
rive home, which We expected would be
about midnight. We therefore accelerated
our speed as much as we could. which was
but little. on account of the constitution
ar' failings of our beast About O'Clock
we found ourselves two miles from Florence
with ''pitch dark" and violent rain storm
upon as. To reach home that night was
impossible, so we stopped with settler who
"never turned body away under sich cir
cumstances." By the time we had got fair.
ly into the house, the storm began in ali its
fury. The chinked and elap-boarded log
