KANsAs-We give below view, in brief ab-
stract ofthe cause ofihe late renewal of disturb
ances in Southern Kansas, and on the Missou-
ri border, drawn from correspondence of the
Tribune. 1t will enable the reader, at a glance,
to compass the matter, and by right understand
ing of it to meet the misrepresentation Of pro-
slavery opponents.
The civil war in that quarter, was brought
to a termination some months ago by a
compromise, to which Gov. Denver was o
party. The basis of that compromise was
that by-gones should be by-gones The
past was 70 be forgotten, and Free.State
men and Slaye-State men were heneeforth
TO live together in peace. This compron-
ise has recently been violated by the Pro-
Slavery squad, whose headquarters are at
Fort Scott. Relying upon support from
The neighboring counties OF Missouri, and
having most Of the local Offices in their
hands they lately packed a Grand Jury
and got up indictments for murder against
Montgomery and others. Montgomery
met this violation of the compromise b,
taking possession of the Court House anC
carrying off the indictments This, how
ever, did not prevent the Fort Scott mis-
chiefmakers from arrestng one Rice, WHOM
they enticed to surrender himself by falst
pretences, and holding him prisoner OF
Ihe charge of murder. At two public
meetings, called by the PrS-Slavery men o
the county, it was agreed to uphold the
Denver compromise, and, 10 accordance
With it, the Fort Scott people were called
ppon to release Rice. This they refused t
do, and when oil other means had failed
Montgomery entered the town and released
tbe prisoner by force the towns people wer'
taken entirely by surprise, and no resistance
was made, except from two stores whence
shots were fred on Montgomery's men,
In returning these shots, one Lyttle, wh'
had made himself notorious in the past dit
feuities, was killed One of the stores
whence the shots were fred was sacked am
emptied Of its contents, in accordance viii
threat Of Montgomery so to treat egerl

This occurrence produced great excite

n the forner wars, did not wait for inya

ABOLITION PRESUMPTION AND DEFIANCE.
The citizens of Lorain County, ON the
11th inst. spread feast for the 81 indicted
violators of national law, at which there
was 10 small amount of irreverent sqnint-
ing at digu,ies, and defiant talk aimed at
some Of their pet cnactments.
The following is a specimen Of the re-
gard for law which pervaded the assembly
and characterized the occasion:

it does upon all that is manly in man, we

THE NORTHERN ONO PUBLsHERs MEETING,
which assembled at Cleveland on the Both ult.,
adopted among others, the following resolutions,
which are alike timely, truthful, and needfuL-
The magnanimity which the local couutry press
has exercised towards the large over-grown and
over shadowing metropolitan establishments, is
beginning to be more generous than wise. These
great city monopolies have reduced the prices
of their weekes, which come more directly into
competition with the local journals, TO stand
ard that scercely covers cost, relying upon their
exorbitant charges for advertising to sustain
them, and the country journalists have looked
with allowance not only, but with encourage
ment upon the arrngement until the inroads
made upon their circulation and income, begins
to open their eyes, aud teach them the propre-
ty-the justice--of taking better care Of them
selves. This conclusion we think is a whole
some one, and we recognize in it nothing but
common fairness and right. We are among the
number that begin to lack patience at the daily
repetition of the remark, on the one hand, that
Eve can get the n. Y Times or Tribune for a

The resolutions alluded to are as follows:

from ruinous competition which has grown into
custOm-but to give stability and guarantee
efficiency TO the press Of the State.

GREEr.EY's RETIRE FROM THE TRIBUNE.-Tbe
New York correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, in his letter of the 9th ult, makes
the following statement
"The New weekly paper called the Cen
tury, and published by Thomas McElrath,
formerly of the Tribune, is out today 1t
is folio Of exceedingly neat appearance.
It will be a strong party journal OF the
Northern sectional school. Rumor has 1t,
that if successful as weekly paper, the
Century will be converted into a diurnal,
and that Horace Greeley will leave the
Tribune and Join his old partner Mr.. McEl-
rath, in the new enterprise. Nearly every
BODY has the Tribune associated IN his mind
with the name of Greeley. He started ii
to be sure, and made it what it was. Bat
as to his controlling it now, that is all a
mistake.
"AlI the newspaper people of New YORK
know that the manager and ruler OF the
Tribune is not Mr.. Greeley, but Charles A
Dana, and it is said that Horace has moi
had fair play lately /; that be had been
ogerruled in his own establishment, and
made often to play a subordinate part
where popular opinion made him appear
to he the chief aud only head. Mr. McEL
ra;h was rather unceremoniously requested
to dissolve his connection with the Tribune
and if by any persuasion or mducement
he can get Horace Greeley to leave tina
journal and join him, nothing will be lei
undonc to bring about sach consumma
ton. The Tribune without Greeley, wolI'
be worse than Ham without the noble
Dane"

Some ambitious whiting, dating from
