BUsHwHACKERs AT WORK.

From all that We can learn the Bush
wbacksrs are industriOusly at work, all
along the Border. Quantrile has been re-
cruiting men, and has boldly announced his
intention to come to Kansas this summer.
1t will depend a great deal on the vigilance
of the militia whether he comes or not.
Their latest outrage is contained in our
last papers, and gives an account of the
burning of Lamar, Missouri. The dispatch
is from Col. Blair to Gen. Mexican, and is
dated at Fort Scott, May Soth Twelve
bushwhackers, under Henry Taylor, went
to Lamar, Mo-, yesterday afternoon, and
burned ten houses. There were no men in
town. The militia left some days since,
and it was occupied by women and children
only.

POLITICAL NEWS.

The great political contest is drawing
near, and each party will have its nominees
in the field soon. We have never seen a
time when SO little was said about the Pres
idential election, on the eve Of that impor-
tant event. The papers scarcely mention it.
1t is about certain that Mr.. Lincoln will be
the nominee of the Republicans at Balti-
more, and if he is, Fremont will as certain
ly run against him-not, we presume, that
he expects to succeed, but to do all in his
power to defeat Lincoln. The Democrats
will in all probability nominate General
Nc Clellan.
The Democratic State Convention at To-
peka, on Wednesday last, selected as Dele
gates to Chicago, Judge Mcdowell and L.
B. Wheat of Leavenworth, Wilson Shannon
of Douglas, - Taylor of Nemaha, H. ].
Stricken of Shawnee, and Orlin Thurston
of Allen. Judge Cobb, of Douglas, -
Foreman of Doniphan and Brigers of Bour-
bon were nominated for State electors.
From what we can learn, the Delegates will
support Mcclellan for President.
The indications are now that Mcclellan
will be the nominee of the Chicago Con-
vention. If so, we will bust him with the
rail-spitter, sure.
The Republican State Convention of Hi
nois met in Springfield on the 25th ult.,
and made the following nominations Gen
eral Richard ]. Oglesby, Governor Will
liam Bross, of Chicago, Lieutenant Gov
eruor; S. Tindale, of st. Clair. Secretary OF
State J. N. Hoynie, of Alexander, Audit
or James o. Beverage, Treasurer New
ton Bateman, Superintendent of Public n
struction S. W. Moulton, Congressman at
large.
Col. Thomas G. Fletcher was unanimous
ly nominated for Governor by the Radical
Convention at Jefferson City, Missouri. on
the goth ult.; Hon. George Smith, of Cald-
well, for Lieutenant Governor, and Francis
Rodman, of Buchanan county, for Secreta-
ry Of State.
The Democratic State Convention OF
Kentucky, on the s5th, eieoted Mcclellan
delegates to Chicago. and IL favor Of Gov
ernor Bramlette for Vice President. TheJ
also condemned the enlistng of negroes In
to the army by the Administration. and de-
clared that no people can submit! to the sup
preston of the freedom of discussion and
the freedom of elections and remain free.

ton from Kentucky and Massachusetts, are

This is decidedly fast country. If a
woman becomes dissatisfied with her hus-
band, or finds some man she likes better,
she states her case to the President of the
mining district where she resides-he calls
a m ;;ner's meeting-they unite the matrimo-
mol knot. and she is at liberty to take who
ever she leases, provided she can get him.

Nearly every man who left this place In
November and December with any amount
of gold dust, was robbed, and some of them
were murdered. There is a man here now
"broke," who left this place in November
with upward Of eighty thousand dollars 10
gold dust, which was taken from him by
the "Road Agents" In January the peo-
pie concluded they could stand it no longer.
There was no law to which to appeal, and
so a vigilance committee was organized
and soon men were hanging on trees, I'M
finished houses, and every other place high
enough and strong enough to hold the
weight of man.
They gave their victims no warning. The
hanging business was decided by vote, and
the majority ruled. Wherever they caught
their victims they were hung. The Sheriff
and Deputy Sheriff of this place were 'road
agents." the Sheriff being the chief of the
gang. Both were hung. The Judge was
also one of them, but succeeded in escaping
out of the country. Everything is now
comparatively quiet, the last man having
been hung about month since.
