BUFFALO, Nov. 24.-The wind commenced
blowing heavily from the west about clock
this morning, accompanied by rain which,
before daylight changed to snow. The gale
has continued to increase in violence and is
now blowing fearfuliy. Its effects on the
Lakes must prove very disastrous, as there
are not far from one hundred vessels between
here and Chicago, seven Of which have pass
ed Detroit and are probably on Lake Erie
The binding snow storm renders it -impos-
sible for vessels to make this port The
damage to the shipping in port will be quite
heavy, many vessels having been torn from
their moorings and dashed against each 9TH
er and the docks. The storm is confired
almost entirely to Lake Erie.

The Kansas Troubles.

Captain Montgomery, the chief instigator
of the present Kansas difficulties has, it ap-
pears, been contemplating the present juno
ture forsmore than year. His war of 81 and
'5S begun for tn, purpose OF protecting the
Free State settlers, and for that rcasonjusti-
fable, and receiving the approval of large
portion Of the North, has instllled into him
the same spirit of John Brown, to make
war of aggression, like the raid in Virginia,
and for the same purp 'ses. The careers Of
both these men have been similar, and they
seem to have beer. fanatics upon the same
subject, and since the death of Brown on
the scatfold, Montgomery has been laboring
inceSsantly to procure the necessary means
to prosecute the same scheme, in Missouri
and Arkansas. Until now efforts have
been of little avail The settlers of Kansas,
having fought successfully their war with
the Border Rnffians, were anxious to till
their soil, so dearly bought in peace and
quiet, an hence discourage any warlike sp:r-
it, but suffered patiently the indignites of
the Mi'sourians, and looked forward hope
fully to the time When Congress would ad.
nit their Territory as Free State, and
thus put an end to their many troubles. So
Montgomery's insane scheme received no
support, but promised a miserable failure
But Congress failed, by the partizan pur-
pf T., L..
sas last winter; and this year the scanty
crops gave to the illfate Territory the pros.
pect of famine; murder and rapine were
carried en- by the Mi sourlans and to crown
all, the settlers were thrown from their
homes on the Indian Reservation by the
Federal authorities, and their houses burned
by the Indian agents in their very sight.
Goaded on to desperation by all thes cir
cumstanceS, and seeing that the laws and
government, instead of Strengthening and
protecting them, were used to deprive them
of their homes AMI firesides, Montgomery
had little difficulty ia intlucing them to join
his army. Bat by so doing they do not en-
ter into the REASONABLE schemes of their
leader-to make war upon Missouri and her
property-but they fight to protect them
selves and their famil,s.
This contest though exciting our pity for
the misguided men who engage in it, cannot
receive our support; for any scheme such as
that of John Brown, to war against the insti,
tutions Of a sovereign State, we must recog-
nize as unlawful, and crime t. be severe
ly punished. Gen. Harney has been order.
ed 10 march against the little army and with
the ample force at his command, the expert
ence of Montgomery in guerilla warfare
though considerable, will not long endure
Obtaining no support and sympathy from
the North, his little land VIII soonb be extcr
miIated. But it is one of the natural results
of the policy toward Kansas of Pierce and
Buchanan, and one for which they will be
held answerable in History. y.--Hwt. Eyc.

The Vicksb1rg papers announce the pr IS
ence of Judge Douglas in that city. He was
a passenger on board the steamer James
Battle, which stopped at the wharf about an
hour. The Judge was greeted by many
of his friends and host of citizens. Just
before the boat pushed out he made a few
remarks in relation to the present political
excitement. The Judge looked well, and
was on his way to his plantation in Issaque-
ma county. Mrs. Douglas does not accom-
pany her husband. The injuries she receiv.
ed by steamboat accident at Mobile a few
days ago, have ma lie it necessary for her to
remain at New Orleans a little while longer.

upon the Emigrant Road, in the vicinity of

massacre of the emigrants Capt Dent
found some 10 or II emigrants still alive,
and subsisting upon the dead bodies of their
associates. The messenger reports that
some II dead bodies had been found, and
that 10 more were still alive, secreted in
parties Of three and four, for distance of
oftwelve miles, in the vicinity of the attack.
Some had died from actual starvation. Mr.

Capt. Dent will return in few days, when

PROGRESS OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION

PROGRESS OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION
Some months ago the Bishop of Jerusalem
senta supply OF Bibles to the King of Abys-
sinia, in his own language. He received them
with great joy, aud began at once to distrib-
them that henceforth they must teach the
people out of this book in the vernacular-
The missionaries who labor there have gained
great influence over the mind of King The
cdorus. They build roads aud bridges in tro.
dnce useful arts OF all kinds, distribute Bi-
bles, and recommend the truth by their con.
versatiOn and their lives. The King has SO
far recognised their civil services raise
them to the rank of mobiles. He has recog-
missed them to be right in those points where
the doctrines of the Bible differ from the ira
ditions of the Abyssiuian church. and in token
OF 1t has received the sacrament OF the Lords
Supper with them.
