gades Aosta and Camou, arrived about p. NJ, and
then effort made. All the guns were
united into one large battery, to throw down the
houses at the foot of the plateau, and three col
umns formed an attack. Although dead beat by
the rapid march, they scaled the heights and final

greater difficulties had it not been for the success

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS on LOSS
ES IN KANSAS DURING THE TROUBLES
. p55 AND

WYANDorrE, Kansas, July llth.-The Board of
Commissioners appointed by the last legislature to
adjust the claims of individuals, against the Terri
tory of Kansas for losses sustained during the diff
culties of 55 and Sc, have prepared an elaborate
| report, setting forth in tabular statement, the
! names of the claimants amount of claims awards,
amount lost in crops, number of houses destroyed,
horses and cattle stolen, and with which party the
claimants acted The amount awarded in the ag-
gregate, is four hundred thousand dollars. The
amount claimed was six hundred and seventy-siz.
thousand dollars.
The commissioners state in their report that, cal
though not within our province, may be excused
for stating that from the most reliable informatiOu
that we have been able to gather, by the recent
warfare of the guerrilla system, and in well known
encounters the number of lives sacrificed in Kan
sas during the period mentioned, probably exceed
ed, rather than fell short, Of two hundred! Many
affairs in which life sacrificed Ton either sde)
were kept secret and the particulars are only
known to the participants. The guerrilIas, from
motives of policy, seldom made known the result Of
of their operations. But the number of missing per
sons, and the letters of inquiry for individuals adj
dressed frequently from all par of the Union to
citizens OF Kansas, have a meaning and significance
not to be mistaken"
Some of our one-horse politicians anxious for po-
sitions before the people. and not idenitied with
our early history, are disposed to make noise is
not political capital, the question OF these claims
and will do all they can to prevent the sufferers
from receiving indemnity for the losses sustained
during the early difficulties.
Four hundred and sixty-three persons have
been awarded the amount Of their claims against
! the Territory, amounting to four hundred and
twelve thousand, nine hundred and seventyeight
! dollars
Of this the pro-slavery men own, as awarded
| seventv-seven thousand one hundred and ninety
eight dollars and nnetvnine cents; free State men

SUBSTITUTE FOR IMPRIsONMENT.-A correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial writes from Jefferson
county, Texas:
"Ths is not a county seat, but it is necessary to
have some place of confinement for criminals; and
as substitute for Jail, the people have provided
a large stone, weighing over three tons, placed in
the public square, with large iron ring and long
iron chain fastened to it, and when poor fellow
commits crime, and the sentence is Imprisonment,
he fastened to this chain by the anklq and there
remains night and day; but if his crime be light,
and he had previously borne good character, the
Judge in his mercy often allows him to carry an
umbrella to protect himself from the rain and
storm.

WALKING THE RAPIDS ABOVE NIAGARA FAILS ONE
HUNDRED YEARS AGO.-A letter from Mr.. Klam,
Swedish gentleman, to his friend in Philadelphia,
dated September 2, 1850, contains the following
narrative of feat which equals NJ. Bondin's s ad-
venture:
"Twelve years ago. two Iroquois Indians, fishing
above the Falls, were cast on to the Island. 1t
seven DAYS before their condition became known.
The commandant, when he came to the spot order
ed poles to be made pointed with iron. Two Indians
determined to walk to the Island by the help OF
these poles, to save the other poor creatures, on
perish in the attempt. They took leave of their
such poles in his hands to set against the bottom to
keep them steady. SO they went, and got to the
Island and having given poles to the Indians there
they all returned safely to the main land Those
two Indians who, in the aforementioned manner
were first brought to the Island yet alive. The
Indians go to the Island kill deer, but if the
King of France were to give me all Canada lwould
not"

A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION.
Correspondence of the London Times.l
The following letter is from the same correspond

PoZzoLENGo, June 26, 1859.
| regret almost to have written to you yester-
day after the first impression of the battle it might
give certain local coloring to ones narrative, but
it at the expense of accuracy. In a small en-
gagement where you can yourself overlook every
movement and every phase of the fight, the noting
plan, but in great battle, like that fought on St.
Johns day, YOU have to collect the details by de-
gress and it is only after the knowledge of all the
details that the battle assumes its proper shape in
your mind, and you are thus enabled to give true
picture of it. 1t is almost presumptuous in such
case to give an account at the first moment for
even the cOmmander-in-chief of an army would
have some difficulty in ascertainng the facts of the
battle within five hours after it occurred and would
be rather embarrassed in giving account of it
find that my first impression was right aud that
no battle was expected ON our side. 1t was known
that the guard Of the Austrian army the Corps
of Benedek the Sth), which had fought at Maleg-
nano, and protected thence the retreat of the bulk
of the army, had repassed the Mincio on the 10Th
inst 1t had first received orders to stop at Castig
lione and prepare to hold that place. but it had
scarcely begun to execute this order when coun-
terorder arrived which recalled the rear guard be-
hind the MinciO, In consequence of this it passed
the Mincio at MODzambano, leaving only few out
posts behind it. Up to this time, then, the inten-
tiOn of the Austrians was evidently to content
themselves with defending the Mincio line. From

ritory This fact Mr. Lincoln ignored en-,
tirely, and declared the aforesaid ordinance
to be the same as an ordinary act Of Con,
gress
He also attempted to prove that The soil
and climate of Ohio Is as well suited for the
establishment and perpetna,iOn Of slavery as
the soil and climate of Kentucky. The
southern part Of Ohio, said he, is opposite in
an east aHd west direction, and on the same
parallel with the northern part Of Kentucky,
these portions Of the two States are alike in
soil, and are Of equal temperature. There
fore, the entire States are alike in soil and
climate, and the one is as well fitted by
nature for the existence Of slavery as the
other. The fallaey in this argument is evi'
dent.
He closed his speech with long harangue
upon the nobility Of free labor, and said that
the Democratic party claimed that the labor.
ing man OF the north was no better than the
slave Of the south--a declaration which
bears the impress of falsity upon It's very
face.
These are the principal points which he
attempted to make in his speech, all Of which
are alike false, and the arguments with
which he undertook to sustain them, equally
fallaeious. His diction is choice, his logic
clear, and in some instances, if his premi-
ses had been true, his conclusions would
have been irresistible The general impress.
sion Of those who heard him is, that he
either did not do himself justice while here,
or that he is highly overrated that he ac-
quired his notoriety from his contest with
Douglas, and that it is that alone which
gives him reputation beyond the bounds
of his own State

WoULD'NT FACE THE MUsIc-A the close
of the remarks of Lincoln aud Garley, q.
the Court House on Saturday, there were
loud and repeated cries for Cuppy. There
was evidently a strong desire to hear his
particular views upon the upury question,
but he either had not got through commit
ting his speech, or was afraid that his @get
of'-that he was never connected with the
money lending department of the firm oi
Davis q Cuppy-would not take here in
Dayton, where he is well known; and he
turned deaf ear to the demands Of the au,
dience, and retired amid a multitude Of
yells, that would have split the ears of any
ordinary man. He is probably saving him'
self up for his country constituents, and will
astonish them by his denunciations against
money shaving.
