yj Hie Montgomery Scare,v The Montgomery raid baa to nearlyproven to be a bnmbng, that it may aawell ba termed one. The Fort ScottLand Office was not injured, houses werenot bnrned, and Missouri waa net inva-ded. Montgomery and his men armedthemselves for protection, and to driveont a gang of robbers and assassins thathad been molesting the settlers. In do-ing so, he succeeded in frightening cer-tain reprobates ont of theirboots, and excited the whole country, fora few days throwing the Secession ex-citement into the shade. Secretary Bee-b-e

proceeded to the scene of disturbance.and, after satisfying himself that .affairehad been greatly exaggerated, and restor-

ing qoiet, returned home. The comman-der of the troops sent by the Governorof Missouri to drive back the invaders, asranch as acknowledges that the affair wasa "sell."

Below we give some of the sensationdispatches sent over the conntry at thetime the disturbance commenced, togeth-er with the terrible buggaboos sent forthby (so called) Judge Williams. Weshall not be surprised to hear that the oldgranny has had a "mistote," as a consequence of his tremendous scare :

At a meeting of the citizens of Clinton,lienry county, jursoun, to-da- it wasresolved ta raise a volunteer company toaeiena tueir nomes, anu it necessary tnewestern border of the State, and a committee was appointed to wait on the Governor of Missouri, and lay the facts before him and request a supply of arms.

The following letter has bean addressed to Gov. btawart :

The Abolitionists, nnder command ofMontgomery and Dr. Jennison, to thenumber of from 300 to 500, armed withSharpe's rifles, dragoon sabres, navy re-volvers, and bowie knives, have suddenlycommenoed a war of extreme ferocity enthe law-abidi- citizens of SouthernKansas, in the Counties of Xinn andBourbon. 'These arms arrivad by thewagon load at or near Monnd City, abouta month since, in boxes marked aa do-nations for Kansas sufferers. They areall new.

Montgomery has been in Boston duringa part ot tne summer, and returned withplenty of money to enlist recruits. Manyof his men are newly imported. He hastaken possession of Fort Scott and othertowns on the border near the Missouriline. He has murdered Mr. Moore, agrand juror. Mr. Harrison, Mr. SamuelScott, and Mr. Hinda, and oblio-a- allthe U. 8. officers, including myself, to flyfor our lives. me own expressed designin a public speech, as ha said withoutconcealment, is to keep possession ofFort Scott and other places near the Mis-aou- ri

line, to provent a firs in the rear,while he cleaned ont Sonthweat Missouriof slaves. So far, he has carried out lit-.ral-

his declared programme.The citizens of Missouri on the Ossge

and Marmaton rivers, in Bates and Ver-non, are flying from their homes into theinterior. He boasts that he has moneyand arms to equip and sustain one thou-sand men. My Court was broken np bythem the United States Court for theSouthern District and I suspect thatthey have seized tba records, and also therecords (of the Land Offiee, as he publiclydeclared he would do so.

In the after-noon of that day, a yonng man waa seencoming up the middle of the street, fromthe direction of the river, accompanied bya girl apparently fifteen or sixteen yearsof age, dressed in white, and wearingpink-sn- n bonnet. It appeared that theyoung man, Penny, had fallen in lovewith a Miss Ericson, against her father'swill, and they made np their minds to"tramp." Crossing tha river in a skiff,they landed in this place, and proceededfrom House to bouse in search of apreacher. They finally brought np atthe residence of Philip Shuek, Esq.,blacksmith, and sent for the minister.The news spreading, a crowd went up tosee the fun.

But their tribulations were not yet endod. The "old folks at homo" got windof the elopement, and old Ericsonstraightway got his "caloric" np, andstarted in pursuit. He arrived in town,and tore aronnd terribly.

Was it Hohorablb? The KansasCity Journal of Commerce, which mostbitterly opposed the election of Lincoln,aiding to circulate all the negro equality,Abolition, "irrepressible conflict" slangabout him, now that hs is elected, comesout with an article, commencing : "Nowthat Lincolnriselected, we may as wellinquire, upon what principles will he ad-minister the Government?" It then pro-ceeds to show that his administration willbe indspendent and eminently conserva-tive, proving this by his speeches deliv-ered in 1858, and professing its belief inthe honesty of his declarations, from thefact that they were made at a time whenha did not dream of being a candidatefor the Presidency.

Now, the editor of the Journal musthave known Mr. Lincoln's sentimentsduring the late campaign, and have un-derstood them as he does now. Tet theJournal and other papers of its ilk sys-tematically slandered Mr. Lincoln, can-sin- g

apprehension and alarm in the mindeof the Southern people, creating an ex-citement beyond their power to allay ;and now, to remedy the mischief theyhave produced, they are forced to admitthat their previous assertions were false-hoods. The oonfession is bstter late thannever; but will their readers believethem hereafter ?

YTh Fate or'CttaW. On Mondayevening. Dri. Shreva and Macey were sent

for, to amputate aa arm for young man

topping at tha bona of Mr. Matthews,at Prairie Springs, i Brown County,some ten miles from here. They went,

but found that mortifcation bad ensued,extending into the body. Tba yonngman was past relief, and. b probablydead by this time. He had been shot inthe arm ; bat bow it cease eould not thenbe ascertained ba having told severaldifferent stories about it, and to the Drs.woild tall nothing at all. Bnt facta havesince com to light, which wa give as webeard them :

The yonng man'a same was JohnPhillips, and he had been working for afarmer near Oregon. Ha was a goodhand to work, bnt a consummate, thief.He stole a yoke of oxen from Judge No-lan- d,

which ha took to Savannah andsold. On his way back, on Friday, heattempted to steal a horse, when tho owner came ont with a gun, and told him tostop. Ho paid no heed to the warning,when the man fired at him. and supposshe had shot him, through the breast.it seems that the bullet grazed hia body,and lodged in his arm. He fled, crossed the river at Iowa Point, and rode witha man in a buggy to Prairie Springs,where he waa laid np. We learn that hahad undertook to treat the wound himself, nntil he got it past remedy, when adoctor- - was sent for. If he dies from thewound, it will probably only save himfrom a violent death at no distant day ;for, if reports be true, he was a confirmed"hard case."

(For the Chief.)Indireetly CoHnittiBff Murder.

Ms. Eorroa User Sir: The above captionia the most applicable that I can find for the ar-ticle I asa going to pea, and to whleh I wish todraw jour attention, as wall as the attention ofall good titiseas.

He who sella intoxicating drinks to Indians,thereby maddening their brain, in which statethey take the Uvea of their fellow-being- commits murder! As, for inetanee, there have beensome aeven or eight Indiana murdered on theIowa Kesarve within aix months past; and fromundoubted evidence elicited by their Agent,they were caused, by intoxicating drinks obtained from tMngt purporting to be "whitemen." Indeed, sir, there is bo langaage atmy command to give each btingt a name; forthey are Heaven-provokin-

tilngt. The meanest name I can think of, asapplicable to each depraved beings, I heard afriend of mine express, not long since, in thislanguage: " The disposable means employed byOod to destroy and obliterate the Indian tribes,and whoJff turn will be subject to God's ire, forthus vending their poison, and causing whole

ntcheries."These beings, sir, are all marked, their pla

ces known, and a large amount of evidence aacumulated, sufficient to convict the depravedwretches commencing with " mynheer," nearthe bridge. In White Cloud; thence to the dog-gery keeper in the same city; and going belowthe city, into the cabin of him who steals the

blanket for two or three quarts of to-bacco juice and strychnine, called by him "whis-key;" and farther down, even unto the cityof Iowa Point, sir, tbey are all known, and areabhorred bj good citizens everywhere. Theyhave only been permitted to run thus long, inhopes that they would quit; but tbey will not.Now, air, " forbearance ceasea to be a virtue,"and if they donotceaae, why we will deal inlaw first; and if that doea not hare the desiredeffect, then, of course, we know how the oldman brought the boy out of apple tree. Dothose tMngt, depraved aa they are, hare nofeeling? They prove they hare not, even fortheir wires and children. Do they think thatGod will wink at the wholesale murders com-mitted by them of women killed, men butch-ered, and slain, by the infuriated de-mons made by the whiskey from those"despicable meana employed by God!" Thesebtingt (for I cannot call them men; they dis-grace a beard, and are only man in shape, notin principle) are accountable to man here, andto God hereafter; for the mannerin which theybehare is that of the assaasln for who cannetfancy he aeea the drunken Indian prowlingabout with assasain'a knife in hand, to plungeInto the heart of hie unsuspecting rictisat

Why, sir, since the payment, (rforemberl-t- ,I860,) it has bean unsafe for a female to travelalone half a mile from White Cloud in any di-rection; and, air, I know of two instances of al-most alarming nature, whieh I expect to com-municate at the proper time and I alao know

Now, how long can goodcitizens stand this? Will they submit to it al-ways? No, air; in tha absence of any otherproof but seeing tho Indians going into those"hells," (for they arc nothing else,) they arejustified, in putting an .end to it.ma character of the town justifies it, and de-mands it. If these tMngt cannot make a Iivicein any other manner than by aalling whiskey toIndians, they ought to pray God to mora theirmiserable cascasses from here.

I call upon all good citizen, ladles and ten- -tlemen, to respond to this, either through yourpaper, r by cenversation and act. Shall Icall in vain? Remember, some white male orfemale life may depend upon the action takenin the premises. I say, do I appeal in rain?

Mr.Lincoln maintains a dignified ailenca with regard to the excitement in the South, and thepolicy be may adopt ha will speak out at theproper time.

There is a considerable panic in the moneymarket, but it is thought it will soon subside.Money here Is plenty, bat there i great cautionexercised by capitalists.

The despatches from Kansas concerning thetroubles in the southern portion, are serjooslyinjuring the Territory. All sorts of rumors areafloat among other thing, is the report thatarms and munitions of war are being transport-ed into the Territory, for the purpose of driringout men, and also to invade Missouri. W e are laboring to remove sucn impressions, in public and private. On the whole, wefind great sympathy existing in the public mindfor the people there.
