THE MASSACRE AT LAWRENCE.
ADDITIONAL INTERESTING PARTICULARS

LEAvENwoRrm, Aug. 24.--In addition to
the list of names of the killed i'll Lawrence we
have obtained the following :-John FrOmley,
Mr.. West, L. Pitch, Charles Palmer, John
Dagn, Samuel Jones, George Coates, John c.
Cornell a. Kridmiler, Robert Martin, Otis
Langley, John w Lowric, James Roach, Mi
chael Mickey, Joseph Brtchebauer, Dennis
Murphy, John Zimmerman. Capt Engler, ia
cob Pollock, Fred. Klens, Mr.. Earle, Daniel
Mcclellan, Samnel Reynolds, George Gerard,
Charles Allen, James Wilson, Charles Riggs,
A. J. Woods, Charles Anderson, w. b. Girls
void, A. T. Cooper, Ashbury Murkle, David
Murkle. Addison Waugh, and seven others of
the l4th Kansas.
Wounded-Dennis Bergman, G. Smith,
James Halmerson, IL. Hays, and Mrs. Saw
yer. Chauncy Dix is reported killed, not
wounded.
Up to this morning twenty-eight bodies
have qeen buried, but it is still utterly impos-
sible to obtain a complete list of their names,
as many are so much disfgured as to prevent
recognition; while others are still missing,
and are supposed to be concealed i'll the
woods near by, or they may be in the ruins of
the buildings. Besides, many left with Lane
i'll pursuit Of the murderers, and have not yet
returned. The citizens are continually pass
ing back and forth between this place and
Lawrence, and the details they bring of the
scenes that occurred in the streets and houses
Of the doomed city are heart-rending and sick
cnng.
The last accounts we have of Quantrell and
his men are up to Saturday night, at which
time he was being pursued closely by Gen.
Lane, who had been diminishing with him con-
stantly since he left Lawrence. Gen. Lanes
force is being increased rapidly by farmers,
who were ilocking to him with their arms, and
it was the determination to follow him into
Missouri, and, if he disbanded his gang, they
would hunt them down like wolves and shoot
| them. One Of their number was captured
near Oloathe, and gave the names of fifty
of Quantrells gang, who are citizens of
jackson county, Mo-, and are well known
| here, and have always been considered Union
| men.
| The best informed citizens of Lawrence are
of opinion that Quantrells troops are mainly
composed of paroed prisoners from the peni-
| Tertiary and some of them from Prices COM
mand, from the fact That they are so much
Sunburned, and have the appearance of hav-
ing been long in the service. After they had
accomplished the destruction of Lawrence,
some Of them became intoxicated, but being
strapped to their horses, there were none left
behind to give information as to what they
were or whence they came. We learn from
gentlemen who arrived by coach this evening
that Quantrell was oyertaken near the state
line, and 20 81 jas GMffyye killed F"''"""

profit by camp meetings. There vas good
attendance, and much interestwas manifested.
Tuesday morning the sermon was preached

the text in Psalms, " Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation" His general subject was,
the restoration of salvation necessary for eff
cheney The afternoon discourse was by Rev.

h ho,, larger than during the same day of any
---.---- tiuS. The number of tents
erected is larger than usual, there being near
ly eighty. Excellent order is maintained
throughout the grounds day and night, deputy
sheriff Sibley acting as general policeman
about the premises, and his appearance is q
ban upon disorder of all kinds. Meetings

breakfast hour is half past 6, dinner at u,
and supper at 5. The hour of retiring is
at 10 P. NJ, when it is expected all lights will

large. In addition to the regular trains, the
Nashua road will run an extra train, leaving
Worcester at 6, and returning at half past 8.
Excellent accom- modations for refreshments
for the multitude are afforded at the junction

ANTIQUITY OF MANN his last ESSAY,
Agassiz throws out the following opinion on
this interesting topic:
81 do not offer any opinion respecting the
fossil human bones so much discussed recent
ly, because the evidence is at present too
scanty to admit of any decisive judgment con-
corning them. 1t becomes, however, daily
more probable that facts will force US sooner
or later to admit that the creation of man lies
far beyond any period yet assigned to it, and
that succession OF human races, as of ami
mails, have followed one another upon the
earth. tmay be the inestimable privilege of
our young naturalsts to solve this problem,
put the older men of our generation must be
content to renounce this hope; we may have
eoihe prophetic vision of it's fullillment we
may look from afar into the land of promise,
Du1 we snail not enter in and possess it."

AUGUST 80. 1888.
The Guerrilla RuHan, QuantrcI.


The fellow who has become notorious in
western Missouri as "Quantrell," has for
years been an adventurer, blackleg, and
scoundrel of all work. He is not Nilsson
rian, but went over to the border ruffians of
that state because he had become too base a
villain for any other association. His real
name is Hart Sometime after Kansas was
organized as a territory he went there and
became a resident Of Lawrence. When the
border ruffians began their outrages i'll Kan
sas, he acted with the free state men, joined
one of the military companies; and, for
short time, we believe, was connected with
John Browns men, and failed to win his con-
fdence.
After time "Quantrell," Cor Hart rather,)
formed a secret connection with the border
rufians. He was fast losing reputation at
Lawrence, and found it desirable to seek new
and more congenial associations. He served
the ruffians as a spy, concerted with them
plans for abducting colored people from Kan
sas, and continued to operate in this way UNI
til Lawrence was not likely to tolerate him
much longer. The fear of lynch law con-
strained him to leave the state. Soon after
the present war begun he turned up in Mis-
souri, as the leader of lawless band of guerril-
las.
Quantrel has nursed malignant hatred of
the people of Lawrence, ever since he was
compelled to leave that place; and this ha-
tired has extended to the people of Kansas
generally. He has often threatened to sack
Lawrence, but has not, until now, deemed 1t
safe to venture so far from his hiding places.
He has talent for the rascally business in
which he has been engaged; and Col. Jenni-
son is the only man whS has, at any time, Sc
riously embarrassed his operations. We suS-
pect that the people of Kansas, under the
lead of Jennison, Lane, and others, will now
pursue the scoundrel, wherever he may go,
and hunt him down without much regard to
the rules of military etiquette.

POSTAGE STAMPs.-Admitting the British
colonies into our calculation, there are more
than forty notifications of Queen Victorias
portrait, in several different shades of color.
The postage stamp of the lowest money value
at its ordinary rate is the centime of France
worth fraction less than two fifth of an Eng
fish farthing; the highest being the four dol
lar California pony express, representing the
sum of sixteen shillings and fourpence For
beauty of form and hue, the postage stamps of
France and Greece, and among our own de-
Tendencies those of Nova Scotia, bear away
the palm; while the English penny postage
stamp and the postage stamps of Belgium are
about on par, as far as ugliness is concern
ed. Siberian stamps are of the largest size is
sued, and those of Mecklenburg-Sc hwerin
take rank as the smallest. For scarcity and
daily increasing value, the old issues of the
Isle of Bourbon and New Caledonia and
those of Spain, Portugal, British Guiana
and Van Dieman's Land, may be especially
particularized. SO may the stamps of the
| Sandwich Islands, Nicaragua, and the Phil.
hpplnes, which are extremely rare, as are
also those of the Italian duchies. Such of
our readers as may wish to turn ''an hon
est future ''penny" should hasten forthwith
to make large investment in Roman Pom
tifcal stamps, which are with good reason
expected, at no very distant date, to attain an
almost fabulous value Once Week.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The largest mum
bers OF applications for lands under the home
stead law are in Wisconsin, Michigan, Kan
sas and Washington territory. The revenue
from the public domain is scarcely more than
nominal. No additional lands will be imme
diately advertised for sale. The pay DEPART

masters will hereafter be assigned to particu
lar descriptions of troops, instead of some of
them, as now, attending to all kinds of SER
vice. This will facilitate the disbursements.
