FREE STATE Towss.-There has here.
tofore been little rivalry between some
of the Kansas river towns, as TO which
was the best Free State town /; and few
months since, Territorial exchange de-
clared that there were only three genuine
Free State towns on the river, and they
were Quindaro, Sumner, and Elwood.
Yet all three of these towns give con-
siderably larger vote for Lecompton than
White Cloud. Quindaro gives l6. Sum.
ner. Is, Elwood. %. and White Cloud
9. The great Pro-Slavery strength lie
near the river. White Cloud gives th,
smallest Lecompton vote Of any rive
town, with tho exception of Palermo snd
Geary City. Palermo gave Z. and Gear
City /.

r. A number of our Territorial ex-
changes regret that, under the election
provisions, unnaturalized foreigners were
prevented from voting, whereby many
votes sgainst LecomptOn were kept out.
We consider that one Of the best features
of the law. We would rejoice as much
as any one, to see booming majority
against Lecompton, but We want to see
these votes cast by citizens Of the United
States, either native or naturalized. No
foreigner should be permitted to vote Al
any election, unless he be citizen, by
naturalization, no matter If he has de-
clared ten thousand intentions to become
aScitizen. That's our doctrine.

SAD AccrpEsr.-A painful accident
occurred in this place. on Saturday last,
to Mr.. Knapp, one Of tho proprietors OF
the circular saw mill. A machine had
been contrived TO carry the dust from the
saw into the river. and the dust had cho-
ked so that it would not fall upon the
carrier. While the saw was in motion,
Mr.. Knapp took wedge in his left hand
and reached under the saw. to scrape the
dust down. The saw caught the wedge,
and drew his hand between the saw. and
the log. tearing and cutting it in a most
shocking manner. and drawing his head
within an inch or two of the saw. Th'
thumb was torn off from the 6rst joint
and six inches or more Of the leader wa
palled out of the arm, and remained with
the thumb. The arm was also broker
between the wrist and elbow. Pieces o
flesh and clots Of blood were thrown ant
spattered in every direction.
Mr.. Knapp walked up town. appsr
emily not minding the injury much. ant
sppeaSing scarcely willing even to g
home. Dr.. Shreve was absent in tn
country. but DR.. Peter happening il
town. he consented to do what he could
in the emergency. although be had beei
out of practice for q number Of years
He amputated the mAngled portion o
the hand. including the thumb and tn
two adjoining fingers, leaving two fin
gers, which had not been injured. d,
succeeded very well in the operation
Chloroform was repeatedly administered
but the patient was conscious the create
part Of the time, and bore up under tn,
operation with more fortitude than W,
had supposed any one capable Of. DR.
Shreve presently arrived, and dressed tn
wound, and set the broken limb, which
seemed to cause more pain than the othe
injuries. One of the severed arterie
could not be reached, which caused mucl
trouble for time. by prOfuse bleeding.
Mr.. Knapp is still in critical condi
ton, and suffers constant excruciatint
pain. He is lately from Newark. Ohio
He formerly had his right hand crushet
by railroad cars, rendering it almost use
less; and now having his remaining han'
destroyed, he is placed in sad condition
even if be Receivers.

Missouri ELEcrIox.-The returns re-
ceiyed indicate an entire Democratic
Congressional Delegation
Blair is beaten in the st. Louis Dis
triet by Barrett. Democrat. This was
accomplished through the grossest frauds.
There were several Thousand illegal votes
polled in four wards. All thesefrauds were
committed by Irishmen. They went from
poll to poll and voted and many unnAt-
uralized ones voted on dead mems papers.
Several polls were surrounded by Irish
bullies, who had things just their own way
We should have much preferred Blair's
election to that Of Barrett but we don't
pity Blair q bit. His party have claimed
to be the champions for foreigners to
whom, they have been sickeningly obse-
ouious, and have paid iRcessant court to
them. If possible. they have opposed
Americanism more bitterly than the
Democrats: While Blair would have
been elected by honest American votes
he is defeated BY foreign frauds. When
that party get their eye-teeth cut few
times oftener. they viii begin to spPreci-
ste The necessity for American measures.

In the South- Eastern District, Zeigler,

done this in Buchanan, Platte, and other

Emancipation was the issue there, and 1t
is no doubt an Emancipation defeat. Upon
the whole. the result of the election

favorable for the Emancipation cause.

The WAY TO DO IA short time
since, the New York Daily Tribune an
nounced that their Weekly, for that
week, would receive but limited number
of advertisements, as the publisher Of the
New York Ledger would occupy nearly
ali the available spece with an advertise
ment of his paper. for which he paid the
sum of SO, 000l Think of that, ye stingy
souls, who cannot afford to pay IS, 80
or $50 year for advertising. The pub
Usher of the Ledger commenced on no
thing, only several years since; but he il
now independently rich, and making
money all the time. He must think Their
is some benefit in advertising. when h

purpose. to one paper alone. He pay
every year. for advertising. 5000. 900
and upwards. Others might take pro

NJ. j. PARRorr.--Mr. Parrot. in his
speeches, since his return from Washing
ton, has been profuss in his eulogieS of
the Republican party. and has as much
as intim ated that he will unite with that
organization in Kansas. Very well, he
has a right to do as he pleases and if
he sees proper to suck in with the set that
chiselled him out Of the nomination un-
der the Leavenworth Constitution, and
elevated N. F. Conway over him, the
friends who stuck to him to the last can
not help it. Those who wert foremost in
sneering and growing at Mr.. ParrOtt.
disparaging his merits, and impugning
his motives of action in the discharge Of
his official duties, are now becoming the
loudest in his praise--not because they
think him q better Free State. man, OF
more honest and capable in the discharge
of his duties; but because he is swinging
around with the Republican wing Of the
party. That wing have repeatedly shown
BY their actions, that they regard princi.
pies less than name. They will sacri
fee true and tried man, because he vii
not call himself by their name

SIcKNEss.-We learn that there is
much sickness in Brown and Nemaha
Counties--a great portion Of it being
typhoid fever. The principal sickness is
in the neighborhood Of the water courses,
and has been produced by there over
flows. Another fruitful source Of disease
is said to be the decay of vegetable mat
ter, caused by breaking up the prairies--
such being the case in all prairie coun-
tries. Two persons who recently staid
all night at Richmond. Neuaha County,
state that they slept in room where
there were FIVE sickme unable to be Oui

present season. from now until Winter,
will be extremely sickly.
