The soul of the gray-haired man was o lost in thought, that he heard not the light footstep which entered the half-opened doorway, and he saw not the young creature who stood by his fide. "Pupa," said tho timid voice, twice, lefore he answered. "Why, Nellie, you ttartled me I was thinking." 1'rawing a low chair to his side, the girl pat down, looking up into hid face very tenderly. lie laid his broad, trembling hand vpon her held.

I,ane to surrender himself and men to tho Tnited States authorities, which ho refused to do, when the dragoons charged upon the troops and were repulsed, with a loss of three of their number. I'inding themselves too weak to dis lodge Lan, the dragoons retired, and an express was dispatched to (Jov. Den ver for reinforcements. The Governor immediately ordered three companies of drag-ions to the seat of war, and they pa-sed through Shawnee on Saturday, the 2Gth. It was expected there would be bloody work. As soon as news of the engagement was received by the people, they com menced organizing in military compa nies, and were hurrying forward to as sist Lane. It was expected before the dragoons would arrive that Lane would be reinforced by some 2,500 men. The most intense excitement prevailed. One of the gentlemen who passed through Law rence, on Friday, saw Gen. Lane and (Jov. llobinson in that town. They were mounted and completely armed, and appeared much excited. They wero addressing the people, who stirrouiiuod them in great numbers, and urged them to maintain their rights and succor their friends. The people of Lawrence were preparing to take the field.

They report that the l'ro-Slavcry party had taken Homo five or six I've State men, and had them confine 1 in Fort Scott. A partyof sev enteen Free State men went on a trip of observation, to ascertain the condition of our fiiends, Ae., and just as they wero starting towards tho Free State camp, (six miles distant,) somo hundred or more of the 1 ro-SIavery party came in pursuit, and after a long run, they captured three of tho Free State men, avid now hold them as prisoners. l!otli parties wero mounted. In the after noon, about one hundred and forty of the l'ro-Slavcry party, paid a visit to the Freo State camp, Sue;.ir Mound. They came with a whito flag; a consultation took place and both parties took a fighting position. In a short time the ruffians divided their forces with the in tention of surrounding tho Freo State camp; orders were given for the Sharp's rifles to play upon them; those who had only common rines, yc., wero in a log house, nnd the Sharp's rifles in the timber. The fire commenced, nnd after a few rounds from the Sharp's rifles, the ruffians fled with the great est dispatch into a moro safe retreat The deputy V. S. Marshal, who led the ruffians, was shot m tho breast thought to be dangerous; another man had his hand torn off, and a third, his arm shot several horse were also shot in the conflict. The Free State men had about 70 men, nnd only nine of thein, with Sharp's rifles, drove the cnfiny nway. Up to this time, this is the only fighting wo have heard of. A young man, who lives in this neighborhood, shot himself in taking bis gun out of the wagon he lias since died. His name is Calvin Eaton, or Cass Eaton, as ho is familiarly called. Mr. I'liillips, of tho N. Y. Tribune, passed through here yesterday, en route for the war. He reported that tho Uni ted States troops had crossed tho Kan sas river, and wero en route to Fort Scott. A company of thirty mounted men lrom 1 rairie City passed throudi yesterday, for Fort Scott. This com pany will be a strong accession, as they have a good many Sharp's a valuable article iu our Prairie warfare. The Missourians are as frightened of them as they aro of the name of "Old Urown." Tuesday Morning, Dec. 22. I have just conversed with a friend who camo iu last night. He reports that on Tuesday evening, about It) o' clock, the Free State men discovered that the United States troops had en camped about three miles from their camp. It was thought prudent to pull up stakes and change cjuarters. At one o'clock the same night they moved their encampment some fifteen miles. What will bo done now, is unknown. The intention was to attack Fort Scott on the day following and recover those whom tho ruffians have in confinement. It was not the Deputy-Marshal who was shot, but a man of the same name, a relative of his, named Little. The Pacific Wagon Road. Dec. 30. Tho War Department has received advices to the 18th October, from Lieut, liealo, in charge of the mail roads from Fort De fiance to tho Colorado river, in which ho announces his arrival in California.

An important part of the operations has been effected by the cam els, which were (subjected to trials that no other animal could possibly endure; yet Lieut.

The Newark, N. J., Mercury gays: A letter was received on Monday by Ilev. Dr. Murray, of Elizabeth, N.

According to promise wo present our readers this week, with tho opening chapter of tho new Story, written for our paper by Mrs. Mauy Heavers. Tho first chapter is very well written, and tho Story will be found to increase in interest as it proceeds, and tho var ious characters are brought upon the scene. Wo predict that it, will add much to tho literary reputation of the young and gifted author. - SPECIAL NOTICE. In conseipucmo of tho extremo scar city ot money jmong laruicrs, arising in part from tin u mutual lateness of tho Fork season, as well as the goncral em barrassment in noncy matters, we havo decided to male a slight modification of our rule inregard to Advance Pay ments, by e.xlmdinij the time to the tl of Mareh next, r all whoso subscriptions cxpiro on the 1st of January. Wc have no doubt io majority of thoso who have not reicwed, would willingly have done so, but havo been prevented by the causes referred to, and wo hope this ex tension wil enablo them to renew by tho time named. We shall therefore continue lo Bend the paper until the 1st of Mrch, to all who do not return the next number, and we will conside payments mado by that time ns in ad vance. Those who do not wish to con tinue the paper, on these terms, will please signify their wishes by sending back the next No. Thoso who do not return tho paper, will bo considered as accepting our pro position. All papers sent by mail, and not renewed by the 1st of March, will positively be stopped at that time. Civil War Actually Begun. It will be seen by our latest advices from Kansas, that an engagement has actually taken place between the Terri torial force, under command of Gen. Lane, and the United States troops. Tho fight was at Sugar Mound, where Lane hud entrenched himself, and re sulted in the repulse of the Government dragoons, with tho loss of three men Reinforcements had been asked from Acting-Governor Denver; und it is al so reported that Gov. Robinson, as w ell as Gen. Lane, were urging their friends at Lawrence to arm and repair to the scene of action. Tho most intense ex citement prevailed, and a more serious engagement was anticipated. Fuller details of this unfortunato affair will be awaited with rnxicty. Calhoun, the chief of tho Lceomp ton conspirators', has sought safety by flight from tho Territory. Wo suspect Kansas will never hereafter bo a desira ble country for him to livo in. The Legislature. This body doubtless assembled on Monday, but owing to tho failure of the mail on Tuesday evening, wo have no account of its organization. Tho Dem ocrats having a majority in both Houses, of course elected tho officers. From the Cincinnati papers of Monday we learn that Ciiaui.es W. Plair of Clin ton, was nominated by the Democrat ic caucus for Speaker of tho Senate; Wm. Woods of Ljeking; for Speaker of the House, and Jou.f i V. Kkvs, for Clerk of tho House. Congress. Was to re-asseiiiblo on Monday, after the holiday recess. Wo havo no ac count of the proceedings, but as the ciciting news from Kansas must have reached Washington on that day, they were probably interesting. Wo fchall keep our readers well posted in regard to everything of importance that trans pires at tho seat of Government. j Plain Talk. The Richmond South thus expresses its opinion of the sincer ity and honesty of thoso Northern men who pride themselves upon being the special friends of the South : So Mr. Poug'nB has shown his cloven foot to the South at last. I never be lieved he was whole fooied. All that lie has ever dune has been to cajole the South to choosu butween eviU, to take tho best bhe can get, to Bugar over nauseous pills and bribe the South to swlloMf them. I never had confi dence in him. I haue no t iiiifideme in any mar North of M.imon and Vieon'i. Thoy cannot be our friends and be honest. The interests of tho two sec tions ars antagonize. The Northern man w ho goes lor our interest, neeesna rily goes against tho interoot of tho North, his country, and I can have no confidence in a traitor, uo matter how high is his price. "Kansas Shrieking"--Then and Now. It is but a few brief wei Is, pays the Cincinnati (Wetle, finro the Democrat ic pay-'-is, pll over the country, ex pressed the alrongcst aversion and eon-te-.npt f.r what they wen pl-'.-i.-ivl to term "Kansas Shrieking." Every ac count from that quarter which did not represent affairs ns going on smoothly, swimmingly, and surely, towards a final settlement, on Administration principles, was regarded ns wholly fabrication and fraud, got up by Pluck Republicans, for party effecf. The narrative of the grand Missouri foray, which controlled tho firnt Territorial election, though defi. nitcly proved before a Commission of the popular branch of Congress, was never conceded, or at lea thought of sufficient conserjurnco to justify any complaint on tho part of tho real peo ple of Kansan, and least of all, to enti tle them to resist tho outrageous enact ments of tho bogus legislature. From that day to this, almost, the wrongs of tho people, wWo oppressors havo had on their side all the power of tho fed eral government, havo boen constantly sneered at by obsequious Administra tion organs. Murder, rapine, arson, and violence of every description,' have awakened no sympathy in tho minds of these men, whoso motto has been, "The party, right or wrong." Put thero has eomo a change, A party rebellion has commenced. A regular stampede is going on from the Administration ranis. The policy of Mr. BtTHANAN has not varied mate rially from what his opponents charged that it would be, throughout the Presi dential campaign. Thero was every reason to expect him to bo a serviceable instrument in the hands that now com mand, his services. Tho Democratic leaders of the North, in fact, seem to have determined to sustain him in this ultra-Southern course, and to disregard or sneer at tho rights of tlio peoplo of Kansas, to the bitter end. What mo tive lias iuduccd the sudden change wc havo witnessed, the almost universal de sertion of tho Administration in tho North, at this juncture, is not, perhaps, so great a "mystery" as might at first appear. Put of that wo do not propose to speak. Tho change of tone, the complete revolution, which has taken place on this Bubjeet, would certainly seem to bo otic of the most strikin events of the day. All through tho campaign last Fall, tho Columbus Statesman, for instance, was exceedingly vigilant in its attempts to make out that all the troubles in Kansns, so far as thero were any, wero tho fault of tho "factious majority." It ignored border ruffianism, and recog nized as perfectly legitimate the Gov ernment inaugurated by that -power. Kansas correspondents, who reported frauds or violence, were snccringly dis credited. Now, tho whole matter is reversed. The recent election in Kansas affords the Statesman occasion for shrieks as thrill and tcrrifio as it wa3 wont to de nounce in thoso days; when the outrages were tenfold greater, and the frauds and wrongs a hundred times more impor tant. Now it not only publishes Free State letters, but endorses what it used to vilify, as perfectly veracious and re liable. Here is a specimen, from the pen of a "sound National Democrat," whoso "services to tho Democracy of this Stato in the Presidential canvass which carried Mr. Puciianan, were con spicuous and efficient" : LEAVENWORTH CITY, Dec. 23, 1857. 1,1... . , L1. - m. "iiiniuiet uiiio statesman: Hie election of last Monday was a farce Kann vos again invaded by a large number oj Mimoururns, and many voted many times. At this point I was a witness of tho invasion, and therefore speak what I know. I have to this time heard only the result at this point nnd Kiekapoo. This place, where fraudu lent voting was to a degree prevented, and competent to poll 1,200 votes, but 2."iC were polled, of which 220 were for the 'Constitution with blavcry.' Free Stato and Conservative Pro-Slavery Democrats refused to vote. At Kieka poo, 1,017 votes w ill bo returned. This point iii notoriouti for f rain In, and cannot legally poll at any time 400 votes. It is almost unanimously Pro-Slavery near Weston, Missouri, jwhich is quite a town, and it is clearly ascertained that many voted at least a half dozen of times. .1 urn tatitfu d that invasion und fraud have been jiermUte.d all ulung the border." . Now, this petty affair, disgraceful enough iu itself, but which cannot have any practical effect, holds no compari son to the grand invasions of other days, which Democratic Administrations have winked at, whose, doings they have rati fied, whose "authority" thoy have en forced, and whoso dominion Mr. Pl'cii AN an is now striving to make perma nent, by forcing tho Lceompton Consti tution through Congress. And yet this "shrieking" Democrat very coolly adds "That Congrci-s will refuse to admit, when the facts aro presented, I do not doubt." If such bo the cane, the char acter of "National Democrats" niut.t have undergone some important change, within the last few weeks. Xom ver rons. Tho Charleston Mercury is rabidly ferocious on DortiLAa. It makes against hiui tho horrible assertion, that he nev er expected Kansas to be brought into the Union as a Slave State! Is it pos sible? It also "regrets to see that he has becu treated with respect and con sideration, aye conciliated," and it in "sorry that ha has not been treated with the scorn and contempt bo de serves, at the ban Is of all true and tarn est Southeru men." The New Kansas Governor. Gen. Denver, who wai appointed, to sueeeed Walker in Kan-en, i'i re nrtcd to have declared that 1 T np pioves the cour e pursued by Walker and Stanton. The eleik of tho Lc:'i 1 n f i v 0 Council, Mr. Persons, (siya tho N. V. Times,) writes: "Gen. Df.nvhi has arrived. anilsiysth.it if PlCIIANAN tltinhtt he will purtut) a different court from- that 'Walker and Stanton, he it damna bly fmhtl!" If this is true, thero will be another Kansas Governor to bo removed soon. Gen. Walker in Washington. New Yoiik, Dec. 30. Gen. Walker reached Washington last cyening, in company with Marshal Rynders. Ho immediately proceeded to the Stato Department, where he had an in terview w ith the Secretary of State, and whs formally surrendered. Gen. Cass, however, slated that he had no directions to give concerning Gen. Walker. It was only through the Judiciary that ho could be held to answer any charges brought against him. Gen. Walker and bis escort retired, the former nt liberty to go where bis inclination might lead. It is reported, however, that a pro cess will be issued to bring him to trial for violating the Neutrality laws. The Cabinet held a consultation yes terday, with regard to tho conduct of Com. Paulding in securing Walker and bis men, at which tho Commodore's dispatches were read. Capt. Encrles expects to return to the Homo Squadron sometime in the month of January. It is positively asserted that Coinnio lorc Paulding will be recalled. Many distinguished gentlemen have called upon Gen. Walker. Nothing is known of his further movements. It is his intention at tho proper time, to ask tho Government to reinstate him in the position from which ho was re cently removed by Com. Paulding. Poor Puchanan's party is falling to pieces faster than did that of poor Pierce. Pierce's trouble commenced in New York, but he had the first Congress of his Administration with him. Puch anan is already involved in tho im broglio of New York politics irretrieva bly; and the sachems of Tammany Hall have refused to permit that sole classic institution, of the Democracy, to give the prestige of its name to a mcctin" endorsing him. And as for Congress, it is extremely doubtful whether tho Presi dent, with all his reserved patronage, to hark him in tho way of direct and indi rect bribery, can use a majority f cith er House, while.it appears certain that in tho next Congress, hi.? supporters will find themselves in a miserable-minority. - Cin. Commercial. - I)K.VTH-Pf:n Follies. The Charles ton Mercury belabors tho practice of manumitting slaves by will as "a death bed folly," committed only by men in their "second childhood," (such men for instance, as George Washington,) and thinks that the Southern States ought to interfere by legislation to pre vent such thiuss. Slaves so manumitted arc so many men removed ' from the industry of the State" it says, and it regards their manumission as "a wanton destruction of property." It seems, then, that according to tho extreme South ern codo of morals, a man has no right to do with his property as Lo pleases. The J'utrie states that tho American engineers who undertook, by means of a special apparatus, to raise the Rus sian ships-of-war sunk in the harbor of Sebastopol, have given it up and return ed to Constantinople, declaring that their contract cannot be performed, ex cept at an enormously disproportionate cost. It appears that tho river Teher naya has brought down immense quan tities of silt and gravel, which being accumulated in the harbor, the ships are now imbedded in this deposit, and cannot, without much labor, bo extricated.
