The Lawrence Tragedy,

The Leavenworth Conservative, in Civ
ing an account of the barbartes of Guam
trel's gang, says:
They entered the town on the galIop,
firing into every house, and when the oc-
cupants appeared at the doors they were
shot down like dogs. Five bodies, burned
to crisp, lay near the ruins of the Ell
bridge House.
The life of District Attorney Riggs
was saved by the heroism of his wife who
seized the bride of the rebels horse, who
attempted to shoot him as he ran.
Several cases of remarkable bravery
of women were related to us. The wife
of Sheriff Brown three successive times
put out the fire kinded to burn the house.
Her husband was hidden under the floor.
The house was finally saved by her hero
ism.
he offices of the Tribune, journal and
Republican, We're of course levelled to
the ground. John Speer, Jr., of the
Tribune started for his home from the Of
fee after the rebels came in. MIR. Mur-
dock, a printer in the Office. tried to in
duce him to accompany HIM to a well near
by, but be would do nothing bit go home
and defend the house, which he did and
was killed. Murdoch went into the well
and was saved A young son of John
Speer, Sen, killed rebel and left. The
guests at the Eldridge House were order
ed out, their rooms pillaged and some of
the people shot. Two men from Ohio
were wounded there, and are now in this
city. Only the presence and peremptory
orders of Quantrell prevented the massa-
ere of all the occupants after they had
been marched out on the street.
The rebels were told that there was a
negro baby still in the house, but they
said, "We'll burn the Cd id little
brat" and they did. We saw its eharred
remains burned black as the heart of its
murderers.
The books of the County and District
clerks We're burned, but of the Register
of Deeds We're in the safe, and are sup
posed to have been saved. Every safe ia
the city but two were robbed. In the Ell
bridge store, James Eldridge and James
Pearine gave the rebels all the money in
the safe and were instantly shot down.
All the hotels We're destroyed except the
City Hotel. The loss in cash is estimated
at S250,000, and the property and all at
S2,OOO,OO0. That is a low estimate.

full issue, and to demonstrate to European
dynasties the ability Of an enlightened
people TO sustain the principles of free
government upon republican basis The
action now being taken by leading men IN
North Carolina, cannot long fail to ava
ken the whole southern people to a sense
of the wrongs and expressions which the
jeff. Davis Cabinet are imposing upon
them, and when the people of the South
fully understand the true situation of at
fairs, all further efforts to continue the
war on the part of the Confederate author
tiles will be as futile as the attempt of
northern Copperheads to excite revolution
in the loyal states, through the influence
Of anti-draft riots.

As a specimen of i" Yankee villainy,"
Florida paper says that the Unionists en-
tered the harbor of New Smyrna, and &C
tually destroyed number of vessels that
were preparing to run the blockade.
Wednesday morning, $4,000 in Con-
federate bonds, certificates, &C., of various
amounts, recently captured by Pennsyl-
vania regiment, were sent to the Treasury
Department to be kept as specimens and
mementoes of the currency of the Confed-
crate States.
The guerrillas made raid through the
country between Townsville and Vienna
on Sunday night, stealing all the horses
they could find. The next day they
picked up about 100 Government horses
all this within dozen or fifteen miles of
Washington.
Henry J. Childs was arrested in New
York on Tuesday evening, charged with
issuing an incendiary circular, addressed
to the " Sons of Liberty" advising that
respectable body to raise $4,000 to test
the constitutionality of the Conscription
act.
The Southern papers report that JEFF.
Davis has placed the soldiers of the Mas
sachusetts 54th and other colored men
captured at Fort Wagner at the disposal
of the State authorities of South Carolina.
If this be true they will not be exchanged
and President Lincoln's retaliatory policy
will doubtless be put in operation.
There are two families living IN one
house at Lynn, one of which is named
Yell and the other Scream. Their next
neighbor is named Ball, and Mr.. Noyes
lives in the next street. Notwithstanding
this, it is said to be a very quiet neighbour
hood.
The Nashville Union states, on the au-
thority of refugees, that the rebel con-
script officers in East Tennessee are ac-
tually going through that afflicted country
stripping white women while at work in
the fields, under pretense of ascertaining
whether or not they were men disguised
in female garments to escape from the
conscription.
Edward Lloyd, of Bryanstille, Wales,
blew out his brains lately on account OF
depreciation of the confederate loan, in
which he had invested very largely. Guess
his brains were not worth much.
UNION PRISONERS IN REBEL HANDS.
Commissary General Hoffman estimates
the number of Union prisoners incarcerat-
ed in the various prisons throughout the
South at only three thousand. Among
this number are included prisoners of state.
The rebels hold less than eighteen thou
sand of our men on parole, while we hold
of their prisoners, including those paroled,
between seventy thousand and eighty
thousand.

SING SING CoNsERvATIsM.-Imme-
diately upon the election of the Honora-
BILE Fernando Wood to the Speakership
of the House of Representatives, it is
understood that the Sing Sing conserva-
tives will be further illustrated by the APP
pointment of Mr.. Isaiah Rynders as Chap
lain of the House, Mr.. M'Cunn as chief
justice of the United States, and Mr..
Andrews, now of Fort Lafayette, as
chief of the metropolitan police. When
Mr.. Wood is elected Speaker, his "con-
servative" friend John B. Floyd will be
called to the head of the United States
Treasury in the place of Mr., Chase Gen.
Meade will be superseded IN Virginia by
the conservative" Gen. Robert Il. Lee !;
and Mr.. Vallandigham will be made Sec
retary of War. These will be but the
first steps of the Sing Sing programme
for the restoration of peace to the country,

&. Edwards Lester, a clerk in the War
Department, was caught yesterday out
side our picket lines, having in his posses
sion large number of dispatches convey
Ing important information Of contraband
character, which it is charged he intended
to convey to the rebels. Evidence has
been brought to light tending to show that
knowledge of some of our intended move
ments has on previous occasions been con-
veyed by him to the foe, He was taken
to Washington, where he will, if Justice
is done, probably dangle at one end of a
stout hempen cord. Mr.. Lester travelled
IN England some fifteen or eighteen years
ago, and wrote libel on that country, en-
titled "lhe Glory and Shame of Eng
land" He afterwards was appointed by
the Fillmore Administration Consul to Ge-
neva, and was removed for some disgrace
tul transaction in the sale of pictures. He
translated and published several Italian
novels of little merit. A few years since
he pretended to have brought from Italy a
new variety of the tomato, called "Poms
d'oro," which had good sale among gar
deners. He started a paper in New York
which went out in smoke, and we have
forgotten Its name. He is a fluent writer
but bombastic and datulent. How did he
get into Office at Washington 2 By sheer
impudence and assumption. If any in.
quiry had been made as to his character
and qualifications, he would have been re-
jected as untrustworthy and disloyal. Thu
Departments have all along been full o
fellows who have betrayed their country

- Emancipation in Russia proceeds
peacefully and successfully, in spite of all
opposition. Schools are opened every
where for the children of the peasants, and
Russia will soon have an educated popula-
ton. A correspondent of the British and
foreign anti-slavery society writes from
Moscow ~ have seen frequently the
leaders of the serf emancipation movement,
both id Moscow and st. Petersburg, as
well as in the interior | visited the es-
tates of Prince Cherkessy, 100 miles
south of Moscow, in the government of
Tole, and | was delighted with all | saw
and heard. 1t shows without any doubt,
that great and pacific revolution has
been accomplished in Russia, the effects of
which are calculated to be Of great utility
to the cause Of the peasantry throughout
the world"
