Chicago, Aug. 20.—The St. Louis
Democrat of yesterday coutaius a letter
dated Kansas the 14th inst, concerning
the affair of Fracklin It appears that a
large company of Missouriaus and Caro
linians, encamped at Washington Creek,
had been committing depredations upon
the farms of the free State settiers in the
viein tv, when they sent lor assistance to
Lawrence.
i he people from there sent Mr. Hoyt,
formerly of Massachusetts, to the camp of
the Missourians and Carolinians, to ascer
tain the reason of their depredation. Mr.
Hoyt went to their camp unarmed, and
on the next day, the 12th inst., was tak
en prisoner by them and shot The Law
rence men, immediately on hearing of tins
horrible and murderous outrage upon a
peaceable and unarmed man, proceeded to
attack the fortification of Franklin for the
purpos of securing arms to drive the en
camped force out of the Territory ; but
sustaining considerable loss in killed and
wounded, in the attack on the foit, they
were obliged to return to Lawrence with
out attacking the camp of the Missouri
aus and Carolinians.
St. Fouis, Aug. 21- —The Leaven
worth City (Kansas) Journal of the 17 th
i ust., contains an account of another oat
break which occurred in Kansas. Mr.
Brown, at the head of 300 Free Soilers,
attacked and drove into Missouri a colo
ny ol Georgians, who were near Osawa*
tomie burning houses aud dostroying pro
perty.
On the 15th, the Treadwell settlement
in Douglas county, numbering 30 men,
were attacked by 400 Free Soilers, arm
ed and mounted, under Messrs. Brown
and Walker. The Treadwell party were
on foot, and they sent to Gov. Shannon
lor aid He called die U. S. troops to
go to their assistance, but they refused to
do so.
The anti slavery men are driving as
fast as they can, all die pro slavery nun
out of Douglas county.
A tight occurred on the 14th, near Os
sawalomie, between two hundred Free
Soilers and twelve pro slavery men the
latter were in fort. Fourteen Free Sob
ers were killed and six wounded.
On the morning ot the I6th, Lecompton
was attacked and taken by eigiit hundred
of Geu. Lane’s men. The United States
troops havingiu charge Messrs. Robinson
Brown aud others, surrendered without
tiring a gun. Col. Titus was abseut at
the time, having gone to the assistance of
of the pro slavery party in Treadwell.—
II is bouse, abtut a mile from Lecomptou
was burned. Air. Clowes, the editor of
the Southern Advocate, aud Mr. Systavie
were killed.
A large body of men were organizing
in the border counties of Missouri for the
purpose of entering Kansas.
It is reported that ii is the purpose of
the pro slavery party to burn Lawrence
on the 20th, for which place a large force
had left Leavenworth.
St. Lons, Aug 22. The latest advi
ces trorn Kansas say that Lecomptou is
not taken, but is deiended by the citizens
and troops, Neveral companies of volun
teers marched for the place on the 19th,
ns there is great excitement all along the
border of Missouri.
Additional from Kansas.
Columbia, Aug. 25 Our advices
from St. Louis, Mo., are to the 23d inst,
and report that the late dispatches from
Kansas have produced great excitement
iu nil the towns of Missouri. At Boou
ville measures were instantly taken, and
the sum of $5,000 promptly realized to
forward volunteers in support of the laws
The same spirit prevails through (he bor
der counties so far us heard from, and
many citizens of discretion and substance
have offered their services to proceed to
Kansas and remain until law and order
are restored. Tidings of new conflicts
are hourly expected.
Letters of the ITth inst., from Law
rence, K TANARUS., state that the fight of the
16th took place near Lecomptou, and not
in or against that town. Col. Titus and
liis eommaud were taken prisoners aud lie
badly wounded The Free Soilers had
teu wounded and one mo:tally. The pro
’ posed attack on Lecompton was prevent
ed by the U S. Dragoons.
Gov. Shannon had gone to Lawrence
and demanded release of prisoners taken
by the Free Soilers. After a conference
it was agreed to exchange prisoners and
to disperse all armed settlements.
Still Latek —Reliable accounts from
Kansas to the 20th iustuut, assure us that
Lccumplou has not been yet attacked, al
though there was expectation of au at
tack by a force of one thousand men un
der Lane. The Free State men had tor
titied Lawrence iu case a retreat shall be
come necessary.
A call appears in this city, namorously
signed by our most influent al citizens, for
e meeting to consider Kausas affairs, on !
Monday.
Four hundred tolnnleers have already
gone from Jacksou county, and large com - j
pauies are forming in other counties.
• Robinson and Brown are still in custo
iy oi the Territorial authorities, and Gen
Persffer F. Smith has ordered all the a
veiiabie strength of bis command to be
ready for instant service.

Broke Jail-
Yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock,
our citizens were much excited by a re
port that the prisoners in the County Jail
had killed the Jailor and made their es
cape. Ihe report was but partially true.
I hree of the inmates, who occupied the
upper story, drew the staples from the
doors of the cell, and repaired to the low
er story to awuit the usu.il opening of the
lower door by the Jailor, at supper time.
I But it happened that the door was open
ed sooner thau was expected. Mr. Huck
aky, of the City Police, started up stairs
to shift the bedding of the prisoners, ana
as he opened the door was seized by two
of the party who shoved him iu to the
passage way, and closed the door.
They then made their way into the op
en air, and on getting out upon the com
mons, one seized a horse belonging to Mr
V. R. Tomiuey, (in charge of Mr. T’s ne
gro boy at the time! mounted him, and
made off Tue twoothers, less fortunate,
hud to trust to their heels. After some
little necessary delay, the Police, with a
puck of dogs, got upon track, aud thus
the matter rests for the present.
Tlie names and description of the par
ties are as follows :
L R. Parker, charged with negro
stealing. Weighs from 165 to 170 pounds;
lair skin, full face, light hair ; about live
feet nine or ten inches high.
I Edward Wallace, charged with burgla
ry in Montgomery aud Columbus : about
five feet, seven inches high, fa.r skin, yet
rather swarthy—complexion peculiar ; 28
or 30 years old, thin beard, durk liuir,
shaved clean yesterday—an Englishman
by birth.
Jo.-epli Donbon, charged same as Wal
lace, live feet ten or eleven inches high,
twenty-five or six years of age ; dark sal
low skin ; dark, but not black hair ; hea
vy beard ; has the picture of a nude wo
man on one of his legs, and of a parrot
and coat of arms, ou his arms, together
with oilier emblems—all indelible, and in
dicative of a fancy man, aud probably
once a sailor.
Since the above was written we learn
that two of the parties escaped on the
horse mentioned—probably the burglars

Interesting from Washington.
Aug- 21.—Accoiding to the commu
nication ol the Secretary of War, sent to
Congress to-day, the standing aimy, in
regiments, is over thirteen thousand men.
Mure than twelve thousand are engaged
in protecting the frontier aganst the dep
tedations ol hostile Indians.
Mr. Arnv,. the agent of the Central
Kansas Committee, arrived here to night
to lav befoie the President, to morrow,
certified documents showing the critical
position of the settlers of Kansas, and ask
ing his interposition to protect them trom
the threatened invason of Missourians,
Many telegraphic despatches were re

The Washington Sentinel died of the
neglect ol the Democratic National Com
mittee, by whose funds it has recently
been partially sustained.
All the Demociats in the House voted
against the army bill. All Davis, of Ma

ihe affirmative.
The events of to day have dissipated
previous calculati in relative to the proba
ble length of the extra session.
The tripartite treaty between the United
S ates and the Creeks arid Setrtinoles, re
siding west ol the Mississippi, is consid
ered one of the most impotant ever con.
eluded with the aboriginal tribes. The
Senate recently ratified it with ihe amend
menu to which the delegaiion in this City
have assented. It appropriates $899,006,
for w hich a bill lias passed the Senate and
awaits the action of the House. These
Creeks and Seminoles surrender lands to
such Seminoles in Florida as may re
move west, while the tieaty secures to
the last on lhat condition, certain pecu
niary and civil advantages and permits
them to enjoy their own (a Seminole)
goveiment, independently ol association
with any other tribes; a failure to obtain
which has been a prominent objection
. heretofore, to their immigiation. This it
is supposed,will have a tendencyto forever
quiet Indian disturbances in Florida, an
important consideration, in view of ihe
millions of money expended on accounl
of Indian hostilities in that State.
Aug 23. —The Senate having adhered
to its amendments to the army bill, and
the House having determined that the
Kansas proviso shall be attached, the ques
tion on Ihe passage of this bill is at an end.
Anew lull will be introduced on Mon
day, and may run the same fruitless
course.

tZT The Maine Farmer has some ex
cellent ideas on economy. It savs:
“ It is no man’s duty to deny himself
of every amusement, every luxury, eve
ry recreation, every comfort, that he may
get rich But there is yet an economv,
which is every man's duty, and which is
especially commendable in the mau who
struggle with poverty ; an economy which
is consistent with happiness and which
must be practised if Ihe poor man would
secure his inriepeiidance. It is every
man’s privilege, and it becomes his duty
to live wilhin, not up to his means. The
man who feels that he is earning some
thing mure than he is spending, will wa k
Ihe streets with a lighter heart, and errier
his home with a more cheerful counte
nance than he who spends as he goes, oi
falls gradually behind his necessities, iri
acquiring the means of meeting them.”
And so we should nether be indolent
when want is creeping upon us nor die
in the foienoon (il we can help it) from
consideration of economy, as Tom Wyatt
did:
” Silent, benr-nth this churchyard stone,
Lies stingy Thomas Wyatt ;
IJe died one morning just at ten,
And saved a dinner by it.’’
Singular Cifcumstaces —A farmer

W’hile plowing, his horse and plow sunk

hole to which no bottom has yet been
found, and into which the farmer came
near falling- His neighbors were called
lo the place, who, by means of lopes lei
him down in search ot the horse and plow
to the depth of thirty or forty feet, but the
further he went the larger the hole ap
peared and he called to his friends to pull
him up which they did.
The Hon.Jas. Meacbam, representative

lollowini: paragraph :
