HIsToRIcAL PARALLELs.--.'O!d Browns Lieu
tenant" sends the following article to the Law
renee (Kansas) Republican, in which he draws
historical parallels, showing that it makes
all the difference in the world "whose OF is
gored:"-
''On the SOth Of August 1856, one General
Reid, with 400 armed men and one piece Of ar.
tillery under his command, from q neighboring
state, entered the territory of Kansas, and was
met by Old Brown with Is men at Ossaw atamie
who engaged him in battle for half an hour,
until four Of his men we're killed and several ia.
ken prisoners, when be (Brown) was compelled
to retreat, and Reid entered and sacked and
burned the town, killing two Of its citizens,
after having been taken prisoners, to Wit: John
Williams and Charles Kaiuer, in cold blood
He then retreated into the state Of Missouri.
and his expedition was endorsed By the COVER
nor OF that state aud the President of the Uni
ted States.
I'm the month Of October, 1859, Old Brown,
| with II men, entered the state of Virginia.
captured city OF 1000 inhabitants, taking q
large number Of prisoners, burning no proper~
ty. numbering no prisoners, but kept possession
of the city until all the forces Of the general
government in that part Of the country we're
brought to their assistance, and old Brown was
captured.
In the first parallel, two free state men are
inhumanly murdered IN cold blood, after being
taken prisoners, thousands of dollars worth Of
properly belonging 10 anti slavery men destroy
| ed; hundred families thrown destitute and
homeless upon the bleak prairie; and the aus
thoiities Of Missouri or Of the general governs
ment make no effort TO bring the offenders to
justice. On the contrary, some of the partici-
pators in that expedition are placed high in
authority by the party that is in power in the
state and nation.
I'm the second parallel there are no prison
ers murdered in cold blood; no property des.
| troyed; no families turned out OF doors, with
no shelter Tor their head but the Institution Of
slavery is assailed; there is some niggers loose;
and ell hill 10 to pay; Buchanan, Wise and ali
their myrmidonS rush to the assistance Of the
institution and nothing but the blood Of Old
Brown and his men, and their sy mpathizers and
abcttors OF the free states, will satisfy the ven.
geance Of the 4. +. VS."
SUDDEN DIsAPPEARANCE OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST.
| -On Saturday morning last, the citizens Of
Covington, KY, were startled by the announce
meDt that the Catholic priest who presided over
the St. Stephens Church, at the head Of Mon
mouth street, had left the night previous for
| parts unknown. The cause OF bis sudden de-
parture was soon discovered. It appears that
an improper and criminal intimacy had long
subsisted between himself aud female member
of bis congregation, and which had continued
unsuspected until coBcealment was no longer
| possible, when be absconded, leaving his victim
! to bear the taunts and contumely Of the world.
The female had hitherto moved in respectable
circles, and aside from the present unfortunate
| affair, her conduct had bee. exemplary.-Cin.

/ SHOCKING AND FATAL AccIDESr.-Mr. r. w.
Laz,er, OF Floris, Davis county, on Friday Of
las. week, met with a shocking and fatal acci-
dent. As We learn the facts, while he was at
work in his saw mill, be slipped and fell in such
q position that the saw while in motion caught
one Of bis legs and actually sawed il cff, except
a small piece of skin. He was taken to his
l
summoned, some Eve 10 number, who fastened

| DAKOTA TERRIToRY.-The result OF the vote
| in the northern part of the Territory of Dakota,
as we announced few weeks ago, indicated
the election Of Hon. John P. Kdder as Delegate
| 10 Congress. We are now enabled to say that
our prediction il verified by recent news direct
! from Sioux Falls. TIE votes having been re-
turned from all parts of the Territory, it appears
that Gov. Kidder is elected by a very large ma.
jority, he having received an almost unanimous
vote.-[St. Paul Pioneer.
On, THAT NINE ENEMY WOULD WRlTE Book!
The Pope Of Rome has an enemy who has
yielded to this adjurAtion. The Provincial
Government OF Bologna has directed Signor
Genarelli to compile volume descriptive Of all
the arbitrary acts Of the fallen Government OF
the Pope in the city. The Montara outrage,
which took place in that City, has been avenged
by the loss TO the Papai Government Of the city
itself, and now the Bolegnese add insult TO in>
jury in the proposed publication Of Signor Gen.

KENTUCKY CoRN CRoP a MARvEL.-The
Assessors IN Keatucky, and the Secretary Of the
Board Of Agriculture, report a corn crop Of
three hundred and eighty millions Of basheis!-
We have been considering how much they raised
to an acre, and find they must have had about
| three hundred bushels to an acre. We know
that Kentucky had q great deal Of good land,
but had no idea Of such surprising fertility
We should be obliged to our neighbors for some
samples and examples Will they give Us the
product Of some one county, and of some farms
here and theree Perhaps they can tell Us where
this crop was marketed?-[ Gin. Gazette.
An INCIDENr REvIvED-A cruel threat Of
