ANOTHER WAR IN KANSAS..,

. ANOTHER WAR IN kANSAS!!,
MISSOURI THREATENED BY MONTGOMERY -!
BY a gentleman Just from Bates county,
We have received the following startling
news from the Border:
Ii will be recollected that an old gentle
man by the name Of Cruise, living in Yer
non county, Was brutally murdered some
time since, BY band OF Montgomery's men.
and that one cf the banditti, q certain
captain Pickle-," has been arrested and is
now in the Bolivar Jail, awaiting hrs trial
on the charge Of murder.
Montgomery Is in the field with about
t~o hundred Of his cut-throats, and last
week, he montgomery wrote to Captain
Fail, of Bates County, telling him that il
pickles" vas not released by the 10th,
saturday last that the State would be in
vaded and her citizens should suffer
Pickles Vas not, and will not be re-
leased until hempen neck-tie causes in
flammation in his throat.
The citizens of Bates and Vernon coun-
ties. were, at our last advices. preparing for
the fight, and hourly expecting an attack.
n Montgomery's men have threatened To
take the missouri State Arms" Of the Dor
der COUNTIES, cor die trying" They will
propably take the contents Of some of them.
On the 10th inst, demand was made on
the citizens of Paris. Linn county. h. T.,
by the robbers, for the U. 8. muskeis, de-
posted at that place demand was
refused. 1t il thought that Paris has been
destroyed.
On the 18th inst, Montgomery's men
robbed and drove of from Sugar Creek and
Usage, eleven families the particulars Of
these robberies are revolving. Every Anti
Jayhawker in the counties Of Lynn, Lykins
and Bourbon, have been ordered to leave
the Territory, At the peril Of their lives"
Such Is the State Of Affairs now existing
in Kansas. Who il to blame? What il to
be done? Let the people answer.
The dollars Of our daddies" gave them
a. much trouble A. they do us, it seems:
MOB LAW IN cHILIIcOrHE.
We understand that on Saturday last, .
gentleman presented Sill 900 in nstes at the
Branch of the Bank Of the State Of Mis-
souri,, at Chillicothe, for redemption; but
By the time 500 in silver had been paid
him, crowd of seventy-6ve persons gath
cred in the banking room, and ordered him
To present no more Of the bills. They, fur.
ihermore, ordered him to leave town and
gave him the rather brief space of FIVE min
utes To DO il in. Az the crowd was highly
excited, cries Of hang him were heard, the
gentleman thought il the part Of prudence,
to retire. particularly as he Was not able to
whip q mob of seventy five men.
His only offence vss demanding the pay
ment Of JUST debt, and IL this be . crime
IL r
then every man Of the Chillicothe mob,
who goes to rich man and demands the
money for note he holds against him
onghi to be lynched.
II the people Of Chillicothe persists in
such conduct n this they will degrade the
notes Of their Branch. and bring on its ruin.
We have no reason to believe that the
Bank officers did anything to excite this
IL would be utter suicide
for any Bank to countenance such acts.-
Ners.
All intelligent people admire beautiful
sentiments when clothed in proper language:
but most people are heartily sick Of the
bombassic sush, Of some Of our
present Newspaper writer's. Our Congress
man. Col. T. T. Critsenden. il seems, about
that time appreciated good thing:
BEAUTIFUL ALLDGORY.
Mr.. Crittenden vas eng ,ged in defending
. man Who had been indicted for capital
ofIense. After IN elaborate and powerful
defense, he closed his efforts BY the follow
ing striking and beautiful allegory:
.When God in his eternal counsel, con-
ceived the thought Ct mans creation, he
c.lleft to him the three ministers Who wait
upon the throne-Jussice, Truth
and Mercy. and thus addressed them:

lice. O, God, make him not, for be will
lr.mple upon thy lava. Truth made en-
sver also. O God, make him not, for he
will pollute Thy sanctuasiss. But Mercy,
upon her knees. and looking 1p
through her teass. exclaimed, O, God, make
