Scott and on the day of SALE Sold Threats IN writing
and otherwise, were made that Fort Scott should be
burned if these cattle Sold But more beeved mat
they would be executed Notices to leave the Territory
were served on Mr.. WATSON, Mr. Gouriy, Mi. Soutn-
wood, jr. and Others who were witnesses as to these
proceedings.
Not until this time has there been any performance of
their threats Authentic information, verified by the
os Of most credable witnesses, has been brought TO
,Iay to Governor Stanton, that body OF men, fully
armed and equipped with Sharpes rifles, and revovers,
to the number of one hundred had appeared in the VI
entity of Fort Scott, under the command OF one Mont
gonery, who member OF the Topeka convention.
This company portion of it, proceeded to the houses

violently seized hem tied thenl and took them away
Since which time nothing has been heard OF them "A

Informed them that he the marshal and that he had
to arrest them, of them, by virtue OF legal
process, their reply was that they had received des
patch from James III. Lane that the legislature now in

that they were their own lawmakers and executors

stands the affair far heard FROM Now, these men
openly profess to be organized and sent to Fort Scott

A New Date:

If the reader will cast his her eye to the head of
this present issue Of the Journal it will rest upon the
figures 1858, showing that have entered upon new
year. May it be happy one to us all. 1t commences
under the cloud of hard times but many bad beginning
has made good ending, and there is good ground for
hoping that things will be il better state by the close
of the present year.
We need hardly say that feel the times in common
with neighbOrs-more, perhaps than some and pro-
badly less than Others. However, complaining never
did anybody any good The best plan is in the language
of the old prOverb, to set stout heart to steep HILL
We trust that patrons generally will excuse us if
avail ourselves of the occasion to call attention to the
delicate but indispensable subject of money. We pride
ourselves upon having good set of customers as any
people in the world but for all that our books remind
us that the amount of money due very large while the
constant demands upon us forbid us to forget that
stand badly in need of it. We have recently commenced
sending off bills to all our Debtors who will thus be ap-
priced of the several amounts due by them We beg them
as personal favour as well as an act of Justice to respond
promptly. Five, ten, fifteen OR twenty dollars is not
much but two thousand accounts of this kind is
q large All to whom we send are believed to be
good, and able to remit but OH good friends and pat
rons, now, in these rare and difficult times there is
nothing SO good to us as the money.
We must ask all friends and readers to recoIect that
all nep orders for subscription advertisement to
ceive attention. must be accompanied by the cash. We
lind ourselves compelled to adopt this course and must
be enforced uniform rule We keep it at the head
Of our editorial columns but daily in receipt of Or
ders for subscription unaccompanied by the cash. The
small amount of subscription had better be paid at once
and be done with all future trouble about it. 1t will be
found better in the long rum both for publishers and
subscribers. We work faithfully and surely are worthy
of our hire which is not large. Our effort is to make
our paper worth all charge for it, and that much we
must have, to get along We pretended to pub
fish lowpriced paper We do contend that our paper
is cheapthat it is well worth the price of subscription

EE Nearly every cellar in the city,
under the bluff, is more or less flooded with
water-some but slightly, others one-half,
three. fourths and full This not only fur
nishes work for number Of men at the
pumps, but it is a state of affairs which is
anything but agreeable or healthy-thus to
live over pool of a stagnating water sub.
ject to all the damps and malaria which
arise therefrom. During the present and
probable future state of weather it seems
a'iaost useless to attempt to keep cellars
free Of water; might just as well attempt TO
pump dry the Mississippi The evil cannot
be remedied until a system of sewerage Is
perfected. Until then We must grin and
bear it.
