Therefore, we copy it, as follows: Permit me to lay before your numerous readers -ntue information touching the present statu* quo of affairs in this Territory. The “ United States K i.!».»' Investigating Committee” met at Lecotnp : iti on Monday, the 21st inat., and organized in full, William A. Howard, of Michigan, being chairman. The Committee proceeded immediately to take copies of tbe census and election returns of every district in the Territory, and such other public re cords as they thought might be of the least ser vice in the investigation. Having completed this work, said Committee left Lecompton and proceed ed to Lawrence City on the evening of the 22d. Ex-Governor Reeder, Governor Robinson, of To peka notoriety, and many other persons accom panied the Committee to Lawrence. The next morning (23d > General Whitfield and Col. Wright, his counsel, and a large number of his political and personal friends, and also many witnesses, Proceeded to Lawrence City, where the Committee were in session. At two o’clock, P. M., the Com mute met to transact business. Col. W. K. Wright, counsel for defendant, asked that the Committee w .uld adopt its rules of evidence, and require the plaintiff’ to submit his declaration, or tender his vSiU* in writing so that he might know how to auape Lis answer. After much discussion as to •i /.an of law and rules of evidence on both sides, it was finally settled that “Green.eaf” should be adopted by tbe Committee as the standard author ity on the subject of evidence. Dr. Stringfeilow appeared before the Committee and stated that he was deeply interested in the in vestigation now pending and in progress; that every citizen of Kansas Territory was deeply in terested in the decision of the questions before the Committee; that this investigation involves the more vital question as to whether there are anv laws, and consequently, whether any protection tan be afforded to life and property in this Terri tory. These are the vita! considerations em braced within the scope of the duties of this Com mittee by the resolution of Congress. It is not merely a contest between Whitfield and Reeder as to which of them is entitled to a seat on the floor of Congress, for this is a matter of comparative I insignificance; but the question is far bigger— i rises far higher, and involves the life, the proper tv, and the interests of every citizen of the Terr;- ■ tory. He maintaind, therefore,that the people of the j Territorv, hadarightto be heard before the Commit- ; tee. Is there any lawiu force inthis Territory? This , is the vital inquiry. The Committee decided to i hear testimony iu regard to all the difficulties in 1 h visas, thus filling tip the entire scope of the res olutions of Congress, and only incidentally to j elicit facts that may affect the rights of Governor i Reeder and General Whitfield. The Committee i are charged to inquire into “all the troubles in j Kansas.” Before any testimony was taken, on the ; Hid lost, the Committee adjourned over until to- j morrow, at three o’clock. Meanwhile, an incident occurred, which I will 1 here relate. On Saturday, the 17th inst., Sheriff l Junes, of Douglas county, went down to Law- j renec, accompanied by one man, to arrest Mr. S. ! N'. Woods, of that place, having his warrant in due form of law. In attempting to make the ar rest, he was resisted, insulted, and overpowered i by the populace; his pistol was wrested from him, and other indignities offered, and his life threaten- | ed. Jones returned to Lecomptou and summoned a p uir of citizens of the most respeetabla class to J aid him in making the arrest; but the next day he went again to Lawrenv •, and was again resisted, i and both he and his y grossly insulted and spit I upon. They were not able to make the arrest, and | therefore again returned to Lecompton. The Gov - ernor then called on the military at Fort Leaven- I worth, to assist trim in executing the laws of the i Territory. Accordingly, Col. Sumner detailed Lieut. Mclntosh and twelve men to assist Jones in executing the laws. In the “evening of the 23d inst., the Sheriff and United Stales Marshal, ac companied bv an escort of dragoons, arrived in Lawrence. Then there was hurrying to and fro; * :}>» of men quickly gathered t pother for con sultation, but tbe better class advised submission to the “laws of the United States,” thus keeping up a distinction between the laws of the Territory and those of the United States. But it so happen ed that the Sheriff was acting under the Territorial laws, and ri was United States troops enforcing Territorial law. Here there was a dilemma. The people were divided. Some counseled r -ststaae", others submission. Meat.rime, the Sheriff arrest ed some six or -even persons, but was followed by a crowd tha: heaped curses upon lam and tbe dra goons, and the Government of the United States, sad President Pierce in particular. Not having made all the arrests before night dosed in, Jones and escort encamped in tbe town for the night, and guarded the prisoners, who were I placed in a small house near the tents. About ! eleven o’clock at night, Jones and Lieut. Mclntosh stepped oat of tne tent to a barrel of water to get j a dnnt. A pistol shot was fired at J ones from ihe 1 dark, which passed through the leg of his pant a- , loons ad boot, grazing the skin, but did no inju- : r J mes »h-.-n w ent into his tent and took a seat, bu; in less than fifteen minutes some dark assas sin, fr. in tinder cover of night, fired a shot, which passed through the teut cloib, and took effect in air. Jones' back, entering uear the spine, between • the shoulder-blades. Jones fell dead, as was sup- | posed, and was carried to the Free State Hotel, i and his wounds examined by two physicians, j Whether the wound will prove mortal, can only j te determined by time. Thus has an officer of the law been murdered, assassinated in the dark. There i- no palliation for this monstrous outrage. The reasons which induced Gov. Shannon to send for .-.o small a number of United States troops, must be apparent to all. He desired to en- ! force tile laws of the Territory without anv rnilita- ; rv display, or without attempting to intimidate the ! people by numbers, thus exhibiting the majesty of j the laiv ; and it is equally apparent why he called ' on the troops of the United States ratlier than the militia of the Territory. He believed if the latter were sent to aid the sheriff' in enforcing the laws, ! a general fight would ensue. It was his desire to prevent the effusion of blood that induced him to c-all on the United States troops. On the morning of the 21th, an “Indignation Meeting” of the citizens of Lawrence was held, and resolutions passed, “disapproving" the assas- : mnaiion of Jones! tier, lieeder was called to the chair, and de- i nounced the outrage. He counseled obedience to the laws of the United States—not to the laws of the Territory. Robinson," “Governor of the State of Kansas,” j also harangued the people after the same style, ex- j cept that he went .-o far as to charge the pro slavery party with the assa>sination of Jones! fan you conceive such impudence? And yet to such an extent can knavery go. This same Ro binson, as ''Governor of the State of Kansas,” of fers a reward of £',o i for the apprehension of the assassin, and his conviction in the “United States Court,” —not m the courts of the Territory! 'Why did he not make it a condition that he should be convicted in the Court of the “State of Kansas?” j He will not admit the validity of the laws of the j Territory even to punish an as-as..m. W hat is to be the end ? Is any man so simple as to believe that the heretofore law-abiding por ’ m, of the people will long submit to have the iws set at defiance—officers dolled—assassinated -! ■ bile in the discharge of their duty ? Reeder and Robinson, just before Jones was shot, had, in a meeting of the citizens of Lawrence, urged resist- , tinee to the Territorial laws, at all hazards—to auv : extremity. \\ hen their advice is followed, their ••rders obeyed, and a good man murdered—for the ; public eye, fearing the burst of indignant feeling which wouid he aroused—a public meeting is j held, and the murder “disapproved !” The mur derer is not caught— cannot be found—is concealed j.v the "uisapprovers and yet they hope thus to bund the pro-.-uiverv law-abiding men of the Tern • >rv—hope thus to deceive the people of the Uni i- 1 States at distance. I make no prophecy, for ’■w man can tell what a day or an hour may b’riim - irth, yet the telegraph will announce that the laws have been enforced, ere this reaches iou, or 1 1 am deceived, and this letter must out travel the «Vs *v Jones was shot, the Investigation cimmit tee adjourned for one day. Gen. Whitfield and other friends assisted in removing Jones to Frank hu a few miles from Lawrence. Gen. Whitfield immediately notified the com mutes that he would not keep his witnesses at Mwreuoe, nor examine one there, that they were ! ’Hsulted and in danger of assassination, and de | manded that some other place be selected for the • examination of his witnesses. He determined to i „ n .° luort J ha n cross-examine the witnesses of j until all Reeder’s evidence was closed • 1 an ' J then at some other place, examine his wit ; nesses. The committee have agreed, among other I fey° ‘-aveuwnnh ; and there it ispro | bableGem W infield will introduce his evidence. hsq., of Leavenworth, and Sam uel H. Woods..u, of Independence, are his attor neys; andus tar us possible, with such a commit teewi I see full justice done to him and his friends. Lol.

You will remember that the resolutions un uei winch they were appointed, required them to investigate, not only all the elections that had oc.en ‘'cld, but all the outrages that had been com mitted iu the Territory. As Greeley boasted, the House had made itself the Grand Inquest of the nation, and every outrage, from the “boxing the J aw ,°f an Abolitionist to the murder of poor Uarx, was to be investigated ! No sooner do they get at the scene of action than they find them selves trapped, they at once decline such a general examination, and wish to restrict it alone to the J elections! Dr. Stringfeilow being present, de-! manded in the name of the slandered people of j Kansas, the fullest investigation. In very shame, i they are compelled to assent to it, when lo! no j sooner is poor Jones shot, and Dr. Stringfeilow ; and others leave to prepare their evidence, than the committee again resolve to limit their examina- j ion to the election alone, and such difficulties as ! immediately connected themselves with the elec- j :ion ! A murder committed on the day of an ' -lection, if not arising out of an election, is not to be investigated! And thus ends this (/rami inquisition. Alas, poor Greeley, he cannot ’ mourn over the outrages on the poor negro-thieves—-the tarring and feather- j mg of Philips, the tarring and cottoning of Butler, I the shooting of babies, Ac. He cannot sympa- I thize with Delahay over the baptism of his press ! ! All is to be excluded! . j So, too, the committee after having decided to : adhere to the rules of evidence as laid down in ! Greenleaf, had hardly commenced their examina tion before it was found that they could get no ev idence ! The witnesses knew nothing that would avail Reeder! The two Abolitionists, Howard and Shearman, at once overruled their previ ous decision, and receive hearsay testimony, and from that time nothing but “hearsay” has' been given. Reeder introduces none but the most notorious Abolitionists, and dares not introduce one of them with any character! Wearehavinga moving time of it, and more fun ahead. V Man Voluntarily in Bed tor Forty- Nine Years. The lust London Illustrated Reivs has the fol lowing : t)n Friday, the 7th April were consigned to their final resting place, iu the church yard of Keighley, Yorkshire, the mortal remains of one of the most eccentric individuals that ever lived; in fact a parallel seems scarcely possible, of a man volun rurily going to bed in good health, and remaining there for a period of forty-nine years. He went by the cognomen of “Old'Threelaps” in the neigh borhood, but his real name was YY in. Sharpe. He lived in au isolated house culled “Worlds,” (pro bably an abreviation of “World’s End,”) not far from llraithwaite, in the parish of Keighley. Hi was the son of a small farmer, born A. I). 1777, and from an early age showed little predisposition to steady work. When thirty years of age he took to his In J, and the room, which he never left till carried thence on the day of his funeral. The cause of this extraordinary conduct is believed to have been a matrimonial disappointment; his wedding day was fixed ; accompanied bva friend he wended Iris way down to the parish church, and there patiently awaited the arrival of his bride elect; but she never came, her father having stern ly and steadily refused his consent. Henceforth the young man consigned himself to a small room, nine feet square, with the determination of spend ing the remainder of his existence between the b ankets—which resolution lie kept most unflinch ingly. .it the time of Sharpe’s death, the window of his room had never been opened for thirty-eight years! Inthis dreary abode did this strange be ing immure himself.' He constantly refused to speak to any ene, and, if spoken to, never answer ed, even those who were his constant attendants. His father, by Iris will, made provision for the tem poral wants of his eccentric son, and so secured him a constant attendant. During the whole pe riod of ibis self-imposed confinement, he never had any serious illness, the only case of indisposition those about him can remember, being a slight loss ! >f appetite for two or three days, caused apparent ly by indigestion, and this, notwithstanding he tte on the average as much as any farm laborer. Though arrived at the age of seventy-nine years, his flesh was firm, fair and unwrinkled, save with fat, and his weight was estimated at about two hundred and tort v pounds. The curious used to come far and wide to see him, but whenever a stranger was ushered into his den, he immediately buried his head 1 .ncatli the bed clothes. About a week befo-i his dea fi his appetite began to fail, and his ii ,bs bai aim* partially benumbed, so thai he could not take his food in his accustomed man ner. From this a tack he seemed to rally, and not until the evening before his death were anv appre hensions entertained that the attack would prove ultimately fatal. However, during the night o! .Sunday, the 2d inst., he became rapidly worse, and died at four the following morning. Shortly be fore he expired, he was heard to exclaim—“ Poor Bill—Poor Bill—Poor Bill Sharpe!”—the mos; connected sentence he had been known to utter for many a year. From the. N. Y. Citizen, May 17. Warning Notes of Preparation. The Halifax Nova Scotia official paper, the Morning Chronicle, has a curious comment on the news brought by the Persia, that “Lord Paumure has declared that orders of troops to North Ameri ca have no reference to affairs with the United States.” More than one London journal has ex pressed a different opinion. The same number ol the Halifax paper that contains this news, has a very brief, but very pithy, and very suggestive comment upon it—not indeed in the editorial de partment, but in a far more significant quarter — the advertising columns. Let us copy it for tht infomiation of our readers, and foi all whom ri may concern—the. American Government included, who appear to be sleeping on their oars, “while the rapids are near,” and “the stream runs fast,” and their bark is drifting insensibly onward : Commissariat. —The Deputy Commissariat Gen eral will receive sealed Tenders in duplicate at this office, until noon, on Tuesday, the 6th of Mat next, for the undermentioned transportation from Halifax to Quebec, viz: *'os tons Muskets; 120 tons hall Cartridges ; 1 ton Swords In a f st vessel, subject to the inspection and approval of the Senior Naval Officer m port. A temporary Magazine will be fitted up by the War Department ; the vessel to be in readiness to re ceive the above-mentioned articles immediately after the arrival of the Lad)' Amherst Storeship, stated to have sailed from England on the 7th inst. The tenders to specify the name and tonnage of the vessel, and the sura in Sterling for which the whole service will be performed. Commissariat, N. S., Halifax, 29th April, 18. r >6. From this advertisement surmounted by the royal arms —the Lion and the Unicorn—we learn that “a fast vessel ” is wanted to transport to Que bec thirty-five tons weight of muskets, one ton weight of swords, and no less than one hundred and twenty tons weight of hall cartridges. If this material be not wanted for immediate war, why such haste? and what necessity for “a fast ves sel.” For wliat purpose are all these arms, and this vast amount of ammunition needed at Quebec, if cot with reference to the United Slates? Or if they have no direct reference to the United States, have they not some reference to Central America? Pcrcha.sk ok Mount Vernon.—Mr. Everett is urged bv Governor Wise, through Mrs. Ritchie, to appear before Congress and ask for *120,000 for the association to purchase Mount Vernon, and then to go to each State in the Union, and demand of each, through its legislature, it proportion of fISO.OoO, according toits federal numbers. “If yon will do this,” savs Mr. Wise to Mrs. Ritchie, “and Mr. Everett will undertake the blessed mission, j | vou will have the whole amount, and your private subscriptions over and above, in less than two vears. Vou are allowed five under the law.” The Edgefield Informer, of 20th insr., says : “Gen. A. C. Jones, of Laurens, and his party leave Laurens C. It. to-day, for Kansas. The Edgefield Emigrants will join him in Hamburg to morrow. He will doubtless carry a party of some lifty or sixty men. We bid them God speed !

Approved May 17, 18,Ml. ZW“ The PennsyUanum, of the 17th ins!., in referring to the recognition of Nicaragua, says : “ We do not at all sympathise with those who seem to apprehend that the recognition of the Ri- ; vas-Walker Government of Nicaragua, will neees- : -arilv involve us in a war with Great Britain. Why should it ? Our relations to the State of Nicara gua are not altered by the reception of Father V ; jil, instead of Senor Marcoleta, as its represen tative. Our Government did not, by this act, cu ter into any treaty of alliance, offensive or defen sive, with the new Government. In all essential particulars, it stands precisely where if stood he- j tore. It will still consider those of our citizens who enter into the service of Nicaragua, as hav ing voluntarily expatriated themselves, and as having for this reason, lost their right of citizen ship in the United States, and all claim to protec tion at its hands. It will be remembered, that this right of expatriation has always been held, and asserted, by our government, it is proceeded ! on in our naturalization of foieigners, and, as a j matter of course and consistency, the right lias al- i wavs been accorded to our own people. To a certain extent, our Government is already committed to prevent the encroachment of the British in Central America. Assuredly in the ex isting states of popular feeling in the country, anv serious aggression by Great Britain in this quarter, would inevitably be followed by war. But why should it be thought that the recog nition of the Rivas Government by the United ‘ States in accordance with its established poli- ; cv of always recognizing the Government de facto, should provoke such aggression. We see no reasonable ground, whatever, for this opin- , ion. Apart from the irritation and national ex- ! citement growing out of their discussion, we do ! not see how any of these questions pending be tween the United States and foreign States can lead to a war, and we believe that both parties in these disputes have too many interests at stake, and too much in common, to allow mere angry feeling to force them into hostilities. If it be authorized —if our Government is to proceed in a just and judicious foreign policy only at the cost of a war—why let the war come. We are about j as well prepared for a war now as we ever have | been, or are likely to be for a long time to fotne, I Meanwhile, we are not sorry to see the moral sup- ■ port of our recognition extended to Nicaragua. We look upon her cause as bound up with the re generation of Central America. If this fertile re gion once becomes settled by North Americans, it will add vastly to the trade,’ the wealth, and the happiness of the whole world. The United States is not the only country which will profit by its de i velopment. _ England and all Europe willbeequal ' lv benetitted. It is only a narrow policy, a blind jealousy, an apprehension of something undefined and, indeed, without any reality—some shadowy fear that the “ A aukees ” will gain some peculiar advantages by the new state of things—that in duced foreign intrigue against Walker. If Eng i land were wise, she would see that the prosperity i of these same “Yankees” is her own, and that the more we gain, the more finds its way into her j pockets. , -g BBLS.

A PHYSICIAN in Southern Georgia, (De catur county ) of extensive practice and expe rience, speaking of “BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REM EDY,” and front personal experience with its cura tive properties, writes to the proprietor: “ I think the sale of your Remedy in this section of country will be immense.” It is gratifying to the proprie tor of the “ Dyspeptic Remedy ” in this, as in nu merous other instances, to have his statement to the public, regarding his new preparation, so sanc tioned and verified by members of high standing in the profession. He has thus far abstained from the hackneyed path of producing in the columns of a newspaper the sworn testimonials of the benefit ted by his prescription. Yet it would give him un alloyed pleasure to afford the afflicted, (from Dys pepsia), the assurances which he is daily receiving of the prompt, unfailing success which, in every instance, when due regard is paid to the treatment, attends the taking of his medicine. That there is no possibility of failure in producing a speedy and permanent cure of Dyspepsia, even in cases of long standing, by the “Dyspeptic Remedy,” is the universal Opinion in sections ot ihe South and West, where it has been extensively tested. Resting upon its growing popularity, the proprietor might content himself with the present and prospective success which augurs so favorably this medicine’s attaining; a reputation and use more extensive than any other preparation that has been submitted to the public in a popular form, hut he desires, knowing from sad experience what die sufferings of the Dyspeptic are, to afford him or her not. only temporary relief, but the assurance mid realization of a permanent cure.

G. FarreWs Arabian. Linivo at. Mr. H. G. Farrell- Dear Sir: Iliad been af flicted with the “Sun Pain” for the last ten vears, and could never get relief except by bleeding; but by the use of 11 G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four time a day, it was entirely removed, and I have feh nothing of it since. 1 went into the stable otic night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stumbled and tell against my legs, crushing and bruising them so badly that the\ turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless. I applied your Liniment, and was well enough in a tew days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed my linger in a shocking manner, by letting a back log fall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up though. ' JOHN 11. M’GEE. LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. t>, 184'.'. [ Esq. Barker, of AY- Canto,,, 111, says:} Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment lias cured some bad cases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. flic leg bad withered away, and was so contracted that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill.upon it in vain, and he was fast sinking to the grave, when the boy’s father was induced to try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before thi first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. IP’s store, and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, 1 want all that Liniment you have in the store; the one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that bad ever been done before.” That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use of bis legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Look out for Counterfeits ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called \V. B.

The Empire State of the South still ahead in her Improvements. THIS article wis compare fuvora- bly with any of like character in the known world. I find that by putting it in the form ST of a Soap it gives it a decided advan i|P|| tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment. or Ointment that can be rnude for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm- j less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepare- i tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, i Cuts, Flesh Wounds. Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch. Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby preventing premature baldness. It is also one tis the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a superior dentrifice to the teeth. For shaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and curing such sores as may be on the face. In tlte cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. 1 can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, 1 ut believing that a single cake is only requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, 1 leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to be the ne plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
