How Gov. Reeder escaped from Kansas.

How Gov. Reecer escaped from n ansas.
Geo. w. Brown, editor of the Herald
of Freedom, in Kansas, is publishing
some remarkable incidents in the history
of that territory Here is an account Of
Gov. Reeder's mysterious flight during
the acme of excitement between the two
hostile parties
Gov. Reeder being thus unprotected,
and the United States Government, in
its Executive and Judiciary departments
arrayed against him, determined to leave
the territory. Finding it unsafe to re-
main longer with the investigating COM
mittee, he retired to friends house near
Lawrence, where he remained but a short
time. His enemies not finding him, as
they expected, with the committee, i'm
mediately sent to Leavenworth and Kan
sas City, TO watch the steamboats,. Guards
were stationed on the roads and also at
the steamboat landings, as far down as
Lexington, TO search the boats and pre-
vent his escape. He, however, succeed
ed in eluding his pursuers, and with the
friendly assistance of Mr.. jenkins, sue
ceeded in arriving safely at Kansas City.
Here lie was taken charge of by Col. Ell
dridge, and secreted in the American
Hotel On the arrival of G. ". Brown,
! from Alton, the hotel was surrounded by
an infuriated mob, as related in the pre-
ceding chapter, threatening forcible
search and seizure. This greatly added
to the danger of Gov. Reeder But the
courage and address of Col Eldridge
saved his hotel from search, and the Gov
crnor from seizure and probable death.
Steamboats, We're so vigorously guard
ed, and the search SO strictly made, that
it was considered unsafe to attempt to get
on board one at Kansas City and as ii
was almost equally unsafe TO longer re-
main in his present place Of concealment,
a new expedient was resorted TO. The
| Governor shaved of his fine whiskers and
moustache, froused his hair, dressed him
self up in the clothes of an Irish labor
er, and with his coarse shoes and stock,
ings, his pantaloons too short at top and
bottom, his coarse shirt and jacket, q pipt
in his mouth, an axe on his shoulder, and
a bundle in his hand, he was seen saun.

The Proposed Railroad.

Our citizens are aware that proposition
for constructing q Railroad from Glaguw
rIa Fayette TO Renick, on the North Mis-
souri, Railroad, distance Of about thirty
five miles, is being considered by the peo-
pie of Howard county. All will readily
agree that the Road should be built, and
that it would greatly increase the facilities
Of the county, and al the same time enhance
the value of our Real Estate 10 lis proper
standard; and at once place our county al
the head Of The list Of counties. The above
is no idle speculation. II is literally true:
and we ask our citizens if they are willing
10 stand fast and look On as idle spectators
or will they at once pnt forth their energies
and place "Old Howard" in her true pc.
sition,
But where is the money 10 come from:
We answer candidy, that is The only hard
question! But still we do net despair; our
citizens are wealthy, and Howard county
las claims that will not be overlooked, il
those claims are properly presented. Then
let us all act in concert,-lor 'in union there
is strength" In The first place, our citizens
will take several hundred thousand dollar:
stock, which will be pretty good start.
In the second place, we believe we car
obtain liberal amount of State aid. In The
third place we believe that we can obtain al
least liberal donation from the govern
meni; and 10 these ends let us strive. L
may be said by some that we are asking Zoe
much, but we think not. Howard county
has stronger claims OH the State and gener
al Government, than any other county, ani
.he has never before asked for favors. In
The times of peril and hardship, our county
was a breastwork of defense, for zoany years
and our pioneer fathers beat bs-k the saw
sge foes Of civilization, for which we hav,
lever been ctupensated. And now tina
we have a Representative in Congress, VIII,
was mainly reared in the Boonslick country
and who will take great pleasure in pre-
senting our claims, we have not doubt o
fuccess. But in The event the above jus
demands be not recognized, there is still al
other resort, and our people should go t,
work with determined energy, and Sue
cess will crown our ts.-Banner.

ia portion Of the people of Howard
county seem waking up 10 the Importance
Of having Railroad through their county.
An adjourned meeting for This purpose was
held in Fay cite on the 9Th inst, in the pro-
ceeding of which appear the names Of some
OF her best and most energetic citizens. A
committee was appointed TO solicit subscrip-
lions for the preliminary survey of a route
from Glasgow ria Fayette, 10 point on the
North Missouri Railroad, near Renick. A
letter was read from President Hudson,
who gave this route warm approval. A
company was organized under the style Of
"Hopard County Railroad Company" Ar
ticles ofassociation were adopted, and direct
ors elected. The Directors were instruct.
ed to procure Immediately the services of a
competent Engineer, 10 make survey Of
the entire route, with estimates of the cost
Of the work. Upwards of $4,000 Of in
dividual stock were subscribed 10 the capt.
ial stock of the road. A committee was also
appointed to circslate subscriptions TO de-
fray the expense of preliminary survey
from Fayette TO point on the Missouri riv-
er, opposite BoonvIlie. This is a most COM
mendable proceeding on The part OF the cit
zens of Howard, and if they do not wish 10
lag behind the remainder of the world, they
will subscribe literally 10 this gr at enter

THE EFFECT OF RAIL RoADs.-The fol-
lowing is from the Randolph Citizen. We
commend it 10 The careful Perusal of all
who oppose Rail Roads
1t was but few years since, our county
was regarded. as it were, frontier county,
and depdndent on others for an outlet Tor
her industry. Every box of merchandise
brought into the county, or produce sent off,
had 10 be hauled through a neighboring
county. When people, with their families,
left the river counties, and came 10 Ran
dol ph 10 settle, they were considered as re-
firing in their disposition, ana as leaving, to
ia great extent, the bounds of civilization.
A few years, however, have suficed 10
work wonderful change. Our county is
rapidly becoming one Of the most desirable
in the State for those seeking homes. lis
citizens cannot be excelled for general in
telligence, thrift and prosperity. Her
waste lands are beng rapidly taken up, and
the prices of land have materially increased.
Her facilities for expectation and lmpOrla-
lion are now far superior 10 those very
counties, 10 which she was, but lately. trib-
utary for these conveniences. The tide Of
trade has turneed, and they will have 10
come through our borders for speedy tran
sit 10 our great metropolis. So much for
what the North Missouri Railroad has done,
and is doing, for our people. Its benefits
have not yet been fully reaped, Every
year will make more paIpable IFS advanta-
ges. Our county is filling up faster than at
any former period, of her history, and will
soon occupy high and deserved rank
among her neighboring counties.
