A dispatch from Milwaukee, dated Wednes-
day, August I. says: t' aEf p
"Shermln NJ Booth, arrested some time
since and who was awaiting trial for discourse
in tho Glover Rescue Case, some eighteen
months since was taken from the aoom in the
Custom House where he was confined, at noon
to day by ten armed men, while the United
States Marshal and Deputies were at dinner
The keeper was silenced by threats violence,
and they locked him up. in place of the prso,
ner A carriage was there in readiness, and
the party proceeded with Booth to the coun-
try"
Booth. it will be recollected, was indicted,
tried and found guilty Of the rescue OF q slave
from the hands OF the authorities, and is the
same individual whose application to court in
Wisconsin to override the Constitution and
laws Of the United Statescame so near causing
a conflict Of authorities between the State and
General Government. Finding that he could
not escape by legal means be is rescued by an
armed mob. th"'ziF 81" y SAl.'''
This is the sam, Booth who was lately in.
dcted, tried and escaped conviction by the jury
not being a le to agree, for the crime Of araps
upon little girl. He is precious scoundrel
and we trust will soon be recapturea. The
mob. who rescued him, have got themselves in
to scrape which will put them where they
long since deserved to be. sisE 2esaaA g.

officers and members of Congress. III,
Presidential contest hinges on the result il
these States. Ohio will certainly give 8
majority for the Republican State ticket,
though probably 3 small one; but still
enough to insure the State for Lincoln in
November, Pennsylvania is almost Ger.
tain to elect the Republican State ticket.
though the Democrats are loudly Boosting
of their ability to elect Foster Governor. who
is supported by the combined Douglas
Breckenridge and Bell parties. The result
in Indiana is still more doubtful. Il is moi
believed that the majority either way will ex-
coed 1000 votes. The Democracy have the
''inside track" though the Republicans are
working with zeal and confidence to win.
If Pennsylvania and Indiana should both
go Democratic in October, the result in No
vember would be involved in extreme doubt.
In fact, l should then regard it as almost
certain that there would be no election
of President by the people. which will be
equivalent to a pro-slayery triumph, for
Mr. Lincoln will stand no chance, whatev-
er, in either House or Senate. A few days
more and doubt will become certainty.
The letters of Mr. Thaddeus Hyatt to
the New York Tribune do MT receive very
general eredence in the West, so far as I
have been able to ascertain, and consequent
ly will do Kansas but little injury. Mr.
Hyatt is looked upon, generally, as an as
pirant after cheap notoriety-a man of NOR
bid feelings and sensibilities. and of no dis
cretion or sound judgment. A gentleman
who has been intimately acquainted with
Mr.. Hyatt for several years informed me a
few days since that Mr.. HIS. annual income
was about ten thousand dollars, but that his
property was controlled entirely by his own
wife and one of his brothers. Mr.. H. him.
self not having bean. able for some time to
attend to it on account of his monomaniacy
on the questions Of Slavery, Woman's
Rights and aerial navigation.
Several of the most respectable of the
citizens of this county, men of property
and influence, will go to Kansas next sea-
son, to locate permanently. and every place
l have been I find that majority of the
persons WHO intend going West in the
spring, are looking to Kansas as furnishing
the best opening. I think that the drouth
of this season will not retard emigration
next seasonal any rate, not very severely.

EDITOR EMPoR1A NEWS The Commit
tee appointed at the Hyatt meeting, in this
place in September. to canvass Emporia
township. for the purpose of ascer:aining
the true condition of the people, as occa-
stoned by the failure of crops the present
season. We submit the following report as
the result of such investigation
EMPoRrA TOWNSHIP.
No. acres corn planted, 1860; I541.-
Yield of same not more than one bushel
per. acre. No. acres wheat, some winter
and spring. 34o-No. bushels harvested,
20. No. bushels Buckwhea raised, none;
potatoes, none; garden vegetables. none
The amount of old corn on hand Sept. 90,
about 14OO bushels-of which, at the pres
ent writing. probably but one half remains
uncOnsumed.
A number of the families visited were
found to be in quite destitute circumstan-
ces, while, from observation and inquiry
made, it is presumed that at least one half
of the population will need assistance be-
fore the close of the present year.
The statistical portion of the above will.
at least, be found to be correct, while the
few ob.ervations appended, although believ-
ed TO be correct, may go for what they are
worth. Respectfully,

THE COUNTY SEAT QUESTION !

We had intended to remain silent on this
question but certain reports need an an
hwer. 1t has been reported for some time
past, that if Emporia got the County Seat,
the people in favor of this place would i'm
mediately take steps to build extensive
buildings, bridges DC.
Now a plain statement of facts should
pat to rest all such reports. The citizens
of this place have guaranteed to the county
the free use Of suitable buildings for Court
House, and county Offices, for fire gears.
in case the seat of justice is located here,
This offer is not made to influence votes,
but because We do not want county build
ings until the county is able and willing to
build good ones, such as will be credit to
the town and county. The building of
bridges is township matter entirely; and
this township is both able and willing to
build her own bridges, and would no doubt
have taken the necessary steps to do so this
year, if the season had been good one.
With regard to economy i'll county matters,
we can point with pride to the action Of the
board of county commissioners, elected By
Emporia and its friends. In one short year.
they have reduced the county tax from If
teen mills to four mills on dollar. This
should convince any candid mind that the
"Emporia interest is in favor of economy.
Emporia never has, and never will seek to
influence any mans vote, in any other way
than by fair arguments supported by facts.
which are patent to any unbiased mind.
On the other hand there have been distrib
uted throughout the county. within the
past six weeks, more than fifty deeds to
property in Americas and Fremont, fo:
which there never has been one cent ''value
received - the consideration is. expected to
be vote for county seat.
This is not mere assertion, but can be
readily proved at any time: Many Of these
deeds are Immediately destroyed by the
'.grantees," and the ''grantors' heaped with
contemp. as they justly deserve. EmpOria
has no lots to dispose of in this way; for
these reasons first it isynot only n1orally
wrong, but is punishable offence under
the laws of the country; and second our
Tots are too raluq5le Town Companies can
well afford to give lots for votes, which are
worth nothing but the paper on which they
are written especially when the acknowl-
edgements are taken by Notary se4o uses
tie seal of The District Court, in place Of
notarial seal. Ifs majority OF the voters of
this county think their interest will be best
subserved by having the seat of justice at
this place, they will say SO at the polls on
the sixth of November. Although Empo-
ria would get more votes if all our oPpo-
nents would concentrate their efforts upon
one point. still ne are glad each one is de-
termined to run, for we want them to show
their strength, and when the vote is count
ed, it Wilt be found that Emporia will have
a clear majority of from City to one hundred
over them all combined.
