Montgomery is already known to our readers
as iawiess miscFe cant, who, as leader of an

mI'ted numerous outrages oG the inhabitants of
Kansas during the former troubles.
We have no doubt that prompt and effective
measures will De taken by the Government to
suppress this InsuTrectlon, which, as force of
United States troops are in situation to be
readily moved against the insurrectionists, vii!
probably be early accomplished.
The. following contains some additional IN

Sir | am here 10 inform the citizens OF

oeeh requested to present them to you as
governor oil the State the abolitonists under
command OF Montgomery and Director Peuny-
son, TO the number of 800 TO 800, armed with
Sharpe'5 rifles, dragoon sabFes, navy revolvers
and bowie knives, have suddenly commenced
war Of extreme feroci,v on the Iaw-abding
citizens OF Southern Kansas in the counties
Of Lima and Bourbon. These arms arrived by
the wagon load at or near Mount CITY about
one month since, in boxes marked as donations
for Kansas sufferers. Montgomery has been
Ia Boston during part of the summer, and re-
turned with plenty of money to enlist recruits. |
Many OF his men are newly imported. He has
taken possession of Fort Scott, and other owns
on the border, near the Missouri line. H. has
murdered Mr.. Moore, a grand Juror Mr.
Harrison, Mr.. Samuel Scott, Mr.. Hind!, and
Obliged all the United States officers, ncEdilg
myself, to fly for our lives. His own EXPRESSED
Design, made IN public speech, as lH said
| without concealment, is to keep possession of
/ Fort Scott and other places near the Missouri
line, to prevent fire in the rear, wtile he
cleared out Southwest Missouri OF Slav,s. So
he has carried out literally his declard pro-
gramme. The citizens of Missouri, OF Usage

Rumors are rife in Jersey City, of nature
that seriously duplicates certain parties doing
business with the New York Bay Cemetery.
1t is alleged that Outrages Of the most revolving
character, and quite as reprehenslble as many
against which the law enucts severe penalties,
are of frequent occurrence in that burial place

place a number Of cotfns in vau,t until some
ten or a dozen have accumulated handsome

the surviving friends ofthe departed and SUBJ

died permlscuously together in a pine box and

fins are taken back to the warerooms and re-
sold TO customers.

Your cheeks all ruddy with the play,
And what told you. then and there,
Which made thine eyes with wonder stare
Upon sign-post, that stood near!
Ye have forgot the time, fear.
Al, very iikely-'twas long years ago
Before thy name was chang'd from Emma Snow.

But, Emma, DEAR what made you cry

And bite your fingers till they bled

But you had promised MIN to be his wife,

Ye kept the promise, but you made me sad,
And sadly have san d along lIfe's stream.

to take action in the matter; the government
has therefore directed them to proceed without

We should not be surprised at this decree's

These things all ways grow apace. And, as
though exciting the religious enthusiasm Of the
people were not enough, the government has
attacked their pockets and their palates. The
cultivation of tobacco is carried on to a great
extent in Hungary, and is very profitable. Ac-
cordingIy the Emperor, IN his paternal love for
that no tobacco should be sold anywhere except
in the Imperial depots, and that the producers
should bring it to these depots and sell it to the
government for such price as it should choose
to give. One would think this bad enough, but
it is not the worst. Owing to the financial en-
barrassments of the country, it has happened
that government has not paid the unfortunate
farmers for the tobacco they had been thus
forced TO sell. Until recently it had the de-
cency to allow the farmers to set off the sum
thus due to them against the taxes they were
assessed at; but now it has forced them to pay
up their taxes TO the last farthing, especially in

The DELAWARE RAILaoAD.-The annual re-
port of this company is now out in pamphlet
form. 1t contains much useful information in
regard 10 the business, future prospects, gene
raj utility, and successful operation of the road,
all of which must be very encouraging and sat-
isfactory to the parties interested. Appended
to the report is a map exhibiting the section of
country traversed by the road and its branches
in Delaware, and it's connection south with the
Eastern Shore Railroad and Steamboat to Nor
folk. The distance across the Chesapeake bay
from Norfolk to Somers Cove, the terminus of
the Eastern Shore road, is 64 miles. This dis
tance it is expected will be accomplished in al
or hours. From Somers' Cove to Phladel-
pha, by the Railroad route, the distance is l63
miles-or hours travel by a through express
train at the rate of 33 miles an hour. thus ma.
king the time between Philadelphia aud Nor
folk 81 hours. The time by the present route,
we believe, is IA or Is hours. About miles
of the Eastern Shore road is now completed,
and there only remains 30 miles to be built TO
complete the connection. Next year we shall
probably witness the completion Of this route,
which, with the Seaford and Roanoke and Nor.
folk and Petersburg Railroads, will afford the
citizens of Eastern Maryland, Virginia and
