strife is for the present queled
You are that for weeks since several hun
dred of the people of Missouri under the lead of the noo
rioos guerrilla cbeftan Quantre made murderous and
cowardly raid upon the city of Lawrence Kansas, in

to the wds of Missouri where they succeeded in killing
many of the guerrillas Their vengeance assumed
drefu cast, when they commenced burning and de-
vastating the western counties Unfortunately re-
