Homicide at Lawrence--Gen. Lane
Discharged.

After most thorough and labori-
GUS investigation Of twelve days, and
listeningto ableargumentsp pro and con
from six of the ablest lawyers in the
Territory, Gen. LANE has been dis
charged. We extract from the Law
renee Republican the following account
Of the close Of the proceedings;
THE DECISION.
eat the conclusion ON the argument,
Tuesday evening, the case was sub
mitted to the court, who took it nm
der advisement, and adjourned to 10
o'clock, A. NJ, Wednesday. AT the
designated hour the court had not yet
come to a decision, nor did it until
4 o'clock, P. NJ, when it was an
nounced that the Prosecution had
failed to make out their case, and
the defendant, Gen. Lane, was ac-
cordingly discharged. The announce
ment was hailed by the crowd pres
eni with manifestations of approval,
which, however, were promptly
checked by the court.
"Gen. Lane then rose and said
that he deemed it due, and he demand
ed it as q right, to himself and fami-
ly, that the court should accept his
|recognizance, with good and sufficient
security, to appear before the U. s.
District Court, to answer any indict-
ment that may be found against him
by the Grand Jury, in connection
with the homicide. The examining
court was composed Of Free State
men, and politics might be said to
have influenced their decision. He
desired to stand the test Of q Pro-Sla-
very Judge and Pro-Slavery jury,
and he therefore hoped his recogni'
zance would be accepted.
"The court, in view Of their decis.
ion, doubted their power to accede tc
the request, and accordingly declined
taking his recOgnizance.
"The General accordingly retired
and was Immediately surrounded by
his friends, who congratulated him
warmly upon his acQuittal."
This decision does not prevent the
matter being taken before the nex'
Grand Jury, which may be DONE
Every effort will be then made tc
procure true bills against the Gene.
raj and it is quite likely he may be
again tried.

Territorial News.

.---- A Company Of "Southern
emigrants," under Col. Titus, made
a visit to the Neosho Valley last week,
and stole fifteen horses. The Sheriff
Of the County, with small posse,
trailed them the next day to Titus's
camp, below Humboldt, near the
Usage Mission, He refused to give
up the horses, and the Sheriff. re-
turned. A messenger was despatched
to Capt. Montgomery, who refused to
so because he had promised to leave
the field, and allow Gov. Denver's
plan to be carried out.
Capt. Hamilton has a camp in
Missouri, about ten miles from the
Trading Post. He still breathes
threatenings and slaughter against

Suggestions to Kanzas Farmers.

Suggestions to Kan2aS FARMERS
Mr.. EDIToR: / hear the remark
very frequently made here in Kanzas,
that the cultivation of the two great
staples of the West, Wheat and Corn,
for expectation, will not sufficiently
remunerate the farmer, situated as
we are, so far from the Eastern mar
kets; hence the necessity or impor-
tance of farmers engaging in the pro-
duction of something that will de-
mand market at home, or that will
justify expectation.
Tie raising of Stock will be prof
table business; it is in States and
Territories not so well adapted to it
as Kanzas. Our winter seasons are
mil6er and shorter than in the great
Stock growing States Of the Nor tn
West, consequently it requires only
about one-half the feed, and less labor,
to raise the same amount of Stock
This is quite an item in our favor.--
| would suggest more particularly the
raising Of Sheep. Wool generally
demands high prices in the Eastern
markets, where it can be shipped at
small expense, if the means are not
provided to manufacture it in Kanzas.
Kanzas is particularly adapted to. the
healthy growth Of Sheep. Our prai-
ries are high and rolling, and free
from swamps, Stagnated water, or
anything that would have tendency
to produce disease.
Cultivating the Grape, and the man
ufacture ofwine, Is being experiment
ed upon at this time, and it is said
that Kanzas proves herself better
adapted to the production of grape,
than either Germany or France. A
German living south of this place
some twenty or thirty miles, pro-
duced, last season, from one acre,
which had been planted but two years,
200 gallons of wine. He says he can
produce from 400 to 500 gallons per
acre the third year from planting
400 gallons, at 81, so per gallon, foots
Fup 100000. The expenses Of cult.
waiting and manufacturing the Grapes
from one acre, will probably be about
800, leaving net profit Of $50O,OO
per acre. Thus you see that the pro-
ceeds Of one acre Of Grape is equal to
at least twenty acres Of Wheat
Why not engage then, in the cultiva-
tion of the Grape? 1t pays better,
the labor is lighter, and can be en-
gagged iRby all the members Of the
family even the delicate hands Of a
female would not look out of place
gathering The luscious Grapes as they
hang in lovely iestoons, apparently
inviting her to partake and enjoy the
luxury.
The introduction of pure. wine, it
is believed, will result in great good
to the country in a moral point oil
view, as we'll as in dollars and cents.
1t is q natural supposition that as the
manufacture of wine increases its use
as a beverage, the use of the accurSed
fiery liquid will decrease. Who but
an insane man will drink strychnine
whisky, that destroyer of body and
mind that demon that hides all the
: finer feelings, and arouses all the worst
passions Of mans nature, when the
pure and unadulterated juice Of the
Grape can be substituted 4? None
hope, unless it be Border Rufians.
If the above is correct view o.
the matter, and we think it is, farm
orS would do we'll to prepare thei'
grounds and plant their vineyards al
an early day. A FARMER.

ports as tdthe measures in progress
for the emf mSlcipation. Order was not
restored till the troops showed pre-
parations for energetic action. A
report lately presented to the Empe-
ror Alexander, contains the following
statistical returns relative to landed
property and serfs in Russia. The
number of families who are land
owners amounts to $4,000. Out OF
these, 1000 possess from 1000 to

900 from q to 100, and 1900 have

to 100000. There are therefore,
