ST.. LOUIS, April go, A. N.

OF. LOUIS, ApTtl ~, A NJ
Last nights dispatches from Baltimore
represent the city to be il the greatest ex-
element. Martial law had been proclaim
ed. The military men were rushing to their
armories. Civil war had commenced. The
railroad track was torn up outside the city.
AS the troops passed along Pratt street, a
perfect shower of paving stones rained on
their heads. The cars were stoned as they
left for Washington.
1t was the 7lh Massachusetts, regiment
that broke through the mob. 1t was said
twelve lives were lost, and several persons
mortally wounded. The stores were closed,
business suspended, and general state of
dread prevailed. Parties rushed to the tele-
graph Office, and cut the wires, but not
much damage was done.
A later dispatch says P. NJ. Davis, of the
firm of Pegram, Parker & Davis, was shot
dead during the. riot. It is reported that
Philadelphiaus are now at the outer depot.
The President Of the road has ordered the
train back. at the urgent request of the
Governor and Mayor. They are already
cut off
Four Massachusetts, troops were killed,
and several wounded. So far as known,
seven citizens were killed, and dozen
wounded. The military are under arms,
and the police are out in full force. There
is large mass meeting here tonight, .ad
dressed by the Mayor. The Governor is
present.
The eth Massachusetts regiment arrived
in Philadelphia last night.
a private dispatch received at New York
from Baltimore, says: The position OF our
loyal citizens Is becoming very critical. We
hope the North will stand By us. and in the

A NEW TOWN.

1t is with no small degree of pride and
satisfaction that We learn that new town
was surveyed out last week in Breckenridge
county. This has, at this late hour, been
done at the very point where it should have
been done years sgo. The convenience and
interest of the travelling caravans of New
Mexico, as we'll as the large emigration to
Pixies Peak, made it essential, as we'll for
the traders and emigrants as also for the
farmers and producers of the already thickly
settled bottoms of the Log Chain, Chicken,
Elm. One Hundred and Forty Two, Hill,
and other streams.
ALLEN, the new town, is located at One-
Hundred and Forty Two Creek, at the
crossing of the Santa Fe road. and has been
generously laid out, as to width of streets
and size of lots. by G. H. Wilmington. Esq,
who now offers rare inducements TO actual
settlers. Any person who viii build will
be presented with one or more lots,
may be necessary for his buildings and
business: and no lots will be sold until
such time as business men and mechanics
shall have made their selections This is a
good feature in the transaction. The lots
on the main street, which is the old Santa
Fe road (six rods wide), are laid out two
rods by eight. with an alley in the rear
of twelve feet wide all other lots are four
rods by eight.
The importance Of town at that point is
too well known to cur citizens and the com
munity generally, to require any argument
from US. Situated as it is, on the great
commercial highway of Kansas, midway
between Burlingame and Council Grove
surrounded by one of the very best farming
populations in our young State with abun-
dance of timber, coal, stone, and clay for
pottery ware and brick with the purest OF
water, easily obtained by blasting-Allen
offers splendid inducements to capitalists
and mechanics. And the fact that this
town has not been spread oul on paper for
speculation, nor started in speculative times,
but now when we are suffering from the
droulh Of last year and the money pressure
occasioned by the troubles in the nation, is
evidence that it is lice town and that live
and enterpr;sing men are connected with it.
We we'll know, from repeated conversations
had with Mr.. Wilmington, that he has been
averse to throwing his farm open to make a
town but the demands Of the public, and
the interest of his neighbors, has made it
imperative that, to afford market for the
products of the numerous farmers and to
furnish them with goods and mechanics
wares without travelling such distance as
they have been compelled to do heretofore,
be should surrender his improved land and
break a new farm. May he be well re-
warded for his generosity.
We shall take pleasure in referring to this
subject again. In the meantime, persons
who desire to secure lots there can apply
to Mr.. Wilmington, or to Dir. Hart, at Allen,
who will furnish all the necessary informa-
ton if addressed by letter

The Secessionists counted largely on the
cowardice and venality of the Northern
people. How the result has belied their
calculations Fools and blind they sup
posed that because the Northern people
preferred not to fight, therefore they could
not be induced to fight at all. They fool
ishly supposed that because we never vaunt-
ed it, therefore we had no courage, no pride
of place, no love of country. How they are
undeceived! The 'chivalry" have always
epoken contemptuously of those whom they
were pleased to term the Northern hordes, ="
the .'Goths and Vandals of the North, >" dc.
But they forget that the Cloths and Vandals
overran effete and slayeholding Rome. Let
them "heed what sound the wind brings
down" from our Northern hills and plains,
They have .'sowed the wind :" let them look
ont for the "whirlwind" which they will
most assursdly reap.
