0uantreIl Dead.

Quantrell, the srchfend of the Law
renee massacre, was supposed to have
died in Texas shortly after the war,
ofconsumption, but the following from
the Lawrence STATE Journal, ofthe 7th,
gives 4 different impression candy
Hammond, an old resident Of this city,
and lately military marshall in Texas,
has returned. He gives the most def
mite and accurate accounts OF the
wherSaboDt Of Quantrell that We have
yet heard. He says that he is doing
II commission business in Mexico, just
across the Rio Grandc, under the
name of Larned Anderson. His next
officer in rank in the QuaDtrcll mas,
sacre is also in Mexico. Marshall
Hammond wrote to Governor Craw-
ford for a rcquisition upon the Gov
ernor ofTexas to procure Quantrell,
the intention being to decoy him into
Texas and then secure him upon a
requisition, The post commander also
wrote to Governor Crawford, but no
answer was ever received"

Delight with humans to tamper and toy;

Till the prophet angel leaves the sky,
For the murky room with the rafting wheel
Its click and clog, and touch of steel,

To curse, to cheer, to crush, to bless,
The angel and demon ever wait,
Seeking the very doors of state,
And thrilling through the nation

Cracking his iron nerves and bones
What to him is the pain or please,
Joy from the land, or death from the seas,
High or low station
Out of the misty halls below,
Hither and thither the white wings go
Tears that pressed shall trickle for aye,
Pains that never and never can die,
In all Times rolling surges!

Every turn of thy press shall tell
