This would lie no air line. The river is
twice a wide there as at %IloOc's Ferry-is

would afford no outlet 10 the wealthy and

Troubles in Southern Kansas.

The st. Louis Democrat has a letter
from Oss'watomie, of Dee. IS, which
gives its version of the late Fort Scott
troubles as follows -
During the last few months there has
been confined in Fort Scott, young man
by the name OF Ben Rice. for some of his
Joy'hdvking peccadiioes during the pas,
season. His friends had determined to
release him, and accordingly last Thurs.
day evening, the 10th inst, large mum.
Der OF his paI tisans made their appear ance
al Fort Scott, demanded his release, which
being refused, the doorof the prison was
smashed in. his chains, by which he was
fastened TO the floor, were chopped loose
with an axe, and then chisel was pro. =.
cured. with which his chains were cut
loose from his limbs, and he. with his
manacles flung over his shoulders, was
paraded otf Tor home. During the affair
u Mr.. John Little was killed by Shapes
rife ball, striking him in the forehead,
tearing it open and leaving him most
horrid and bloody spectacle. Several
other shots we're fired, and two Of the at
tacking party were wounded, and a store
pillaged OF it's contents. which were carried
oH by the assailsnts.
One story has it, that Mr.. Little was
United States Marshal, or deputy. and
that he was killed while defending the
prison; another report is that he was in
his store when killed, and that sister and
his atfanced wife were by him, or in nm
adjoining room, screaming for his safety.
II II is true that he was not defending the
prison, it will be readily seen that the ma
'ure of the offence is changed. All ac-
counts agree that he fred the first shot,
and that it was in reply 10 this he was kill.
ed. ! regret that | cannot write more
fully. but give all the facts which have
come 10 hand.

The Tragic End Of a Mnrderhrl

In June last, at Columbus, Conrad
Siebold stabbed Henry Korrell with a
large butcher knife in the region of the
heart, and John Fronenbcrger struck the
victim Of their violence on the head with
stone. The murder was an unproyoked
one on the part Of Korrell. His murder
ers have been in the Franklin county iail
awaiting trial, and week ago SUNDAY
they escaped with eight other prisoners.
Slebold remained in the vicinity Of Co.
lumbus, and on the lst was discovered
and pursued by three police officers. He
ran across field, and when the officers
came near he turned upon, and with pis
loI in each hand held them at bay, threat.
enlng TO kill the first man who attempted,
the officers firing several sho.s from small
pistols at him without effect. The chase
lasted some hours, number Of people
joined in it, and the bloody finale is thus
given by the Statesman -
Selbold finally got ON the track of the
Central Ohio Raili oad aud took refuge in
the first bridge over Alum Creek, about
three miles east Of this city. Seibold
went ever 10 the east side of bridge, stop
ped and swore he would kill the frst.man
who attempted 10 cross the bridge, at the
same time pointing his cooked pistols AT
the officers, who attempted TO persuade
him to lay down his arms and submit.
promising to treat him kindly and using
every possible argument. Seibold told
them he would give them twice the amount
OF the reward il they would let him 70,
and that lie would never be taken alive.
Hall an hour was spent in thus parleyinu,
when the officers sent TO a neighboriny
iarm house aud procured loaded rifle,
with which they hoped to in.imidate him.
But the desperate man was not 10 be in q.
limidated. Officer White took the rife.
and called upon him 10 surrender, saying
that they were determined to arrest him
dead or alive. To this Seibold made no
reply, but stepped to the end Of the bridge,
where the stone embankmenl is about
twenty feet high. As the officer was
about to raise the gun to his shoulder,
Siebold turned his back to the crowd, ,
placed the muzzle Of his single barrel ps.
lol between his teeth, fired, and fell head
long down the precipice- dedd( The
officers and number Of others who wit
messed this terrible scene, rushed TO the
spot, but the desperate man was convus-
nj with the mortal agony Of death ; a
slight trenior was nj the evidence Of life
he exhibited after he WAS reached. An
immense amount OF blood gushed from his
mouth and nostrilS.
So ended the life of the desperate and
hardened murderer-and more shocking
or terrific end could not be imagined.
Seibold was butcher in Columbus,
about fifty years Of age. and left large
family in the most agonizing distress at
his terrible crime aud end Cleveland

The Slave Trade in the South.

accomplished, sends its agents and arrests
three men, who will probably escape con. .
viction, US most roguos do aud will thnn be
roady for another speculation in African
negroes, which find much better market

All this is precisely what might have been
expected. Southern politicians have begun
to clamor for tho rcopening OF tho African
slave trade--S0uthcrn politicians aru con-
tonding that Congress has no authority to
make laws prohibiting or restraining that
traffic. 1t is righteous, humane, legal con
