The ARRAY at Fort Scott.

Private advices to the St. Louis Democrat
give the following explanation of the bloody
collision at Fort Scott, Kansas Territory,
between the Free State and Pro-slayery
men: +.
"The snouldering hostility So long pent
up, is at last breaking ont in the Territory,
and the Pro Slavery men seemed deternjn-
regard to consequences. Fort Scott is the
scene where the tragedy has opened. Du-
ring the last court held at that point, twen-
ty-three Free State men were indicted for
rebellion, under :he statutes OF the bogus
Legislature OF 1886, which makes the crime
punishable by death Frienls of the victims
to this odi"us and bloody code wished to
have further Investigation of the case witch
was denied them. They then requested to
see the court records, and We're refused. De-
t-rmined not to be trea ed with such arrant
ii justice, they cIaimed their righl, and a
>quabble ensued, they were set upon by the
Pro- Slavery attaches of the cart and a
mob Of their par;isans. In turn, the Free
STATE men faliied to the support of their
friends and compelled the assailants to sur
render, The captives were then permitted
to leave uninjureA. Since that time they
have crossed the line into Missouri, where
they have raised force, and now threaten
to Wreak vengeance when they get to the
Territory. The volunteers in this new foray
have principally gone from little Usage, Pa
pinvlIie and Nevada, but the general senti-
ment Of the communities do not indorse the
lnroad. You may expect to hear other
news so son as their future proceedings are
knowu.'@

For the Journal
Mem cries.

I'm thinking tonight Of the dear old home,
Of the old home bright and fair,
And DER my heart sweet memories come
OF the time when too was there
When life was one bright summer day,
Unclouded by care.
But many years since then have fed,
And changed is that onee-loved home:
Some loved ones have been to the altar led,
And some find rest in the tomb
And nought but cares beset the path
Where flowers used to bloom.
So think of the dear old home to. night,
And breathe pilgrim sigh,
To know that nought is left to me
Save HOPE and MEMORY.
Though memory binds me to the past,
Hope whispers, cites are riven
To guide the soul from things of earth
To hoier ties in Heaven"

This result, says the Ninnesotian, is ar
rived at by throwimy out the legal vote Of

/ The Davenport Dem0crat is back
ing down from iss resolute defence of
Florence and other shinplastcrs. In its
issue Of the 29th we find severe con-
demnation of the small shinplasters
issued by merchants of that place to
serve the purpose of small change. 1t
also copies the able article from the
Chicago Tribune which We published
last week, condemning all species Of
Nebraska Wild Cats, introducing it
with the following pointed remarks:
Gin common with the balance of the
community we have believed that
Messrs. Cook Il Sargent would yer,
soon retire Florence as they promised
to do, and thereby give place to con :
vertidle currency, but hope deferred
maketh the heart Sick That the
present condition Of monetary affairs
in Iowa is positively distressing is be-
yond question, and it is evident that
Florence must be put on the same basis
as Illinois and Wisconsin or be very
soon thrown out altogether. The last
Davenport Real Estate Register very
truthfully remarks that "a more lament
able predicament than that in which this
mercantile community is placed, cannot
be imagined. 30
In the Chicago Tribune of the 2Sth
we find communication from Wilton, in
this county, commencing in enthusiastic
terms the raid of that paper on Nebras
ka shinplasters.
Do the farmers of Iowa longer
doubt what we have been laboring fol
months past to impress upon their minds
the utter worthlessness Of Florence
paper? Parties at Davenport are still
eldeavoring to keep it in circulation by
Offering it in payment for produce. In
some instances, to make the dose &C
down readily, they offer to pay half
Florence and the balance in other funds
Our advice to farmers is, don't touch &
single dollar. You can get good mon.
ey in Muscatine-Chicaso par funds
for your hogs and wheat, and you are
not under the necessity Of touching any

Are the Democracy of Muscaline for Doug
las Or Buchanan? The Enquirer under the
control of Judge Thayer, indicates decided
leaning to the former. But there are others
who are vociferonsly applanding Buchanan.
Meanwhile "the rank and file n-s the rao-
tag' and "bob-tai "-those who never had
an independent idea of their own-are only
waiting the word of command from the
leaders of the party to throw up their caps
for either Buchanan or Douglas, they don't
care which. We suggest that meeting be
called, and that Thayer, Brannan, Hcbb,
Burgesser, Stein, and the lesser lights of the
party enlighten the "plel's' on this vexed
question.
