civil War On tho Rorder.

About three years since a survey was made
of the Indian lands in the southwestern corner
OF the territory and the northern boundary of
the Indian reservation fixed about twelve
miles south of Fort Scott Immediately north
OF this was the New York reservation, and no.
tice was given that these lands were open TO
settlement as the Indian title would soon be
eXtnguishcd Settlers accordingly poured in,
lands were taken up on pre- emption, farms
made, houses built, and Bourbon county pre-
sently gave an indication of the character of
the emigration by large republican vote at
the elections. This was not the result con
tcmplated or hoped for by the gOyernment,and
one of those hgh-handed measures, OF which
there are so many in the history OF Kansas,
was resorted to drive these people out. a new
survey was made, and the Indian boundary
was extended eight miles northward, and the
inhabitants, numbering more than hfteen nun
dred, were ordered to quit the territory
Trusting that redress would come with delay,
they fingered until the notice for the land sale
OF the New York reservation was issued. With
this came a new order, for the people of the
mile strip, on which they had settled in accord
anCe with the boundaries of the first survey,
to abandon their homes and Improvements
and as they still fingered, reluctant to give up
the fruits of three years toll, expende,, because
they put faith in an act OF the government the
Indian agent, with fifty Dragons at his back,
invaded the settlement, with his own hand put
the torch to their dwellings, threw their house
hold goods out of doors, and drove them al
most naked from their homes Seyenty-tour
houses, it is said, have been, by this officer
and his commissaries, reduced to ashes. In
the meantime, the president refuses to post
pone the time of the land sale in the adjoining
reservation, and there the people are given
over, in time of unusual distress and pow
erty to the invasion OF the border rutiians
who burn and Stay, and renew the terrible
scenes of the darkest days Of Kansas. Such
are the measures resorted to by the federal
officeholders, aided by government authority,
to prevent Kansas from becoming free state
1t is these acts of aggression and tyranny that
have prompted Capt. Montgomery and his
men once more to fly to their arms to protect
their lives, their tree homes, and Tree labor
If we need any more compromises, is it not
well to consider whether it is not demanded
quite as much on behalf of liberty as for the
protection of slavery

CURIOUS CASE OF KIDNAPPING.-Ac curious
fugitive slave case just come TO light in this
city. John Thomas, a colored man, recently
owned by Mr.. Winter, of Louisville, Ky,
was sent by his master to Evansville, Ind, by
whom he was shipped as a steward on boat
plying up and down the Ohio, his wages inur
ing to the benefit of Winter. John Thomas,
firing Of his task, betook himself to Canada,
and thence came to New York, where he en-
gagged with MIR. Vail, in Broadway, as porter,
serving him for some months. On Monday
night, by some unexplained means, John
Thomas was taken to the grand jury room in
Chambers street, by some unknown person.
age He managed to let Mr.. Vail know his
whereabouts, and on Tuesday that gentleman
saw him there i'll the custody OF some one,
who exhibited power OF attorney from Win,
ter to recover and return the tugaciouS John
Thomas. Mr.. Vail on Tuesday got writ OF
habeas corpus, which Marshal Rynders yes.
terday responded to by producing in court the
body of I. ohm Thomas, cOlored man. This
John Thomas, however, was another person,
who had been in Jail as a witness in a murder
case since March last. The Judge decided
that the writ was satisfied. Meanwhile Mr..
Winters John Thomas is probably far on his
way to Louisville. But the fact remains that
a man has been kidnapped in the streets of

A ROMANTIC STORY.

A gentleman of this city, who has been
many years engaged in the Prosecution of
military claims, fell in accidentallywaha a
case in which both a man and his wife re-
ceived pensions for revolutionary seryices.
The singularity of the case struck him SO
forcibly, that he instituted an inquiry, and
ELECTED from an old, lady, the sole surviving
descendants, the following facts 1--WE,
state them substantially, but our Informant
not being + esent, it is possible that we
may be incorrect in some insignifcantpars
ticalars. =. .>., >.-
I: Early in the Revolutionary war, man
named Lane 1--WE think) enlisted 10, . com
pany raised in the neighborhood Of Man
chester, to serve three years. He went.
with his regiment to the North, and Joined
Wasbington's army. Taking part IN all
the previous battles, be was severely woun-
ded at Brandyyine or Germantown, and
during the battle and after was taken care
of by brother soldier, to whom he had
become greatly attached, and who belonged
to the,same company with himself. The
term of service having expired, these two
soldiers were discharged, and returned
home, devoted and inseparable friends. In
the meantime, the tide of warirolled on to
the South, and the couple had scarcely
reached their destination, when they again
enlisted to,serve in General Lincoln's ar.
my, at that time engaged in the siege of
Savannah.
Our readers we'll know that Lincoln was
afterwards cooped up in Charleston, and
compelled to surrender, after long siege,
to the royal forces under the command Of
Sir Henry Clinton. Througboutthissiege,
Lane and his friends stood to their posts
like heroes, and did their duty bravely.A
At last Lanes comrade was wounded in
turn, and was carried off the field in the
arms of his DEVOTED friend. What must
have been the amazement of Lane on dis
covering that the brave comrade who had
so long foughtby his side, and had nursed
him so tenderly when he was wounded,
through the report Of the attending surgeon,
was woman! ltappears that she had ac-
cidentally fallen in with him somewhere,
and had formed a strong attachment to him.
At the same time, from some cause or otter,
she lad made so little impression upon. him,
that he did not recognize her in the least
when he afterwards met her disguised as
soldier. She was in despair when Lane
enlisted, and under the influence of that
feeling she fed from her parents home,
donned the continental uniform, and follow
ed him to the wars. What followed was
a.proper finale to such romance. The
wounded woman recovered, aud as soon as
the twain were released from captivity they
became one. They lived many years very
happily together, and left several children.

ALLEGED DECLINE OF REPUBLIcANfsM IN
THE FREE STATEs.-The New Orleans Crescent
has the following observations upon what it
alleges to be the decline of Republicanism:
Unless we are much mistaken in the signs
of the times the Republican ticket presented
at Chicago is losing strength every day.
Lincoln is perhaps the most available man
the party could have nominated--but 1t is
not 1incoln's weakness, so much as the
weakness of the party Of which he is the
representative, that will lead to his defeat In
November. The Black-Republican party
| was stronger, in our opinion, when Fremont
was a candidate, four yeQrs ago, than It will
ever be again. ' l''l1aTo1l1 ,iHo Us
The purposes of that party, as illustrated
by John Brown, its animus toward the South,
as illustrated by Charles Sumner, and the
growing Importance Of the South in connec-
ton with the material welfare and wealth oi
the Union--which is something just begin
ming to be understood by the masses of the
Northern people-all combine TO repel from
the Republican party many honest but miE-
guided men who were driven into 1t more
from antagonism to, Democracy than from
any special admiration for its insidious and
dangerous doctrines Many of these will
vote for Bell and Everett for the Presi
dency - many for q sound conservative,
Democrat, if such one be presented by thu
Il Convention at Baltimore.

A LEGAL PREVENTION OF "REvoIvERs. p
A new designation and new mode of treat
ment has just been adopted in New York for
that class of ''cases' which furnishes fees to
magistrates and police officers, by revolving
from the police Office to Jail as soon as they
are out of prison long enough to obtain a
few glasses of grog, or to get into some scrape.
They are called "Revolvers," and in all cases
of recommitment are now sent for ten days
to the work-house, instead of the Jail. The
Tribune publishes the names of thirty-four of
these persons committed to the work-house
on Friday, with the number of times each

four had gone up twenty tines one fourteen

GREAT OUTRAGE IN AsHTABuLA COUNTY
ATTACK ON JOHN Brown, JR.--A few nights
ago, a party Of dozen or more, armed with
single-barreled, breech-loading brass smooth
bores, made sudden descent upon the resi-
dence of John Brown, in Dorset Ashtabula
County, Ohio, with the avowed intention Of
taking him. The assailants, by protesting
friendship, were admitted into the house
without hesitation. Once in, they clinched
with Mr.. B., who, not being disposed to give
up quietly, then received perfect torrent Of
blows. He and his men could not fire while
in the house, for fear of endangering the lives
of Mrs. Brown and some lady friends, who
were visiting her; but getting out of doors,
they for some time replied promptly with
their revolvers to the frequent discharges Of
the enemy. By some arrangement Of Mrs
Brown, the assailants soon found themselves
completely taken i'm and ''done for" and
off they went as they came. As far as ascer-
tanned, none were killed. The night being
quite dark, Brown and his men could take
no accurate aim, so that they probably fired
higher than the heads of the invaders.
