The Kansas War.
s
The St Louis papers of the 5ih and Gib
hist., contain late dispatches from the scenes
of civil wjgr in Kansas. The Abolitionists
appear robe prowling about in armed bands,
robbing, murdering and driving pro slavery
men from their homes.
The following extracts are from dispatches
dated at Kansas city on the "Jil June.
J. M. Bernard, Esq , started from St. Ber-
nard for Westport on Friday night, since
which time he has not been heard of. He
is supposed to have been murdered.
Messrs. Johu W. Foreman, Li. Hamilton
and John Lux went in search of Mr. Ber-
nard, and were taken prisoners by the
Abolitionist who threatened to murder
them. It is also jeiieved they have met
that fate.
Mr. Donaldson, U. S. Marshal, and seven
men, were attacked while riding quietly
along the road, by about fifty Abolitionists,
who were secreted in and about a house
near the road, which resulted in the wound-
ing of the Marshal's posse and several
horses. Mr. Slade, pro-slavery, had his
horse shot lrom under him in the fight.
Mr. H.. M. Carty, just in from the
Territory states that about eight men of the
company he belongs to were attacked at or
near, Hickory Point, and all seriously in-
jured. He received a wound in the ear-
Captain Fate's compauy went to IIickory
~ J^oint, to «supftfgss .further outrages by Hie
. abolitionists, and was attacked by one
hundred and fifty of the latter, when two of
his men were killed. A second conflict was
cxpected, the p.obal iiity is that all of Mr
Pate's party which numbered forty or fifty,
were killed.
Capt. Pate's company had a second fight,
and thirteen of his party were killed, Capt
P. and Mi*. M'Gee fell victims iu the
battle.
Later.— We learn that uine Abolitionisms
were killed at Black Jack—four pro-slavery
men were wounded, two (reported dead
above) mortally.
Capt. Long's company of Wyaudott
Indians were uuited with Capt. Pate's com-
mand and fought with great valor, in their
original mode of warfare.
The Kansas Herald of the 3d says :
We learn from reliable authority, that a
dispatch was received at Fort Leavenworth
Sunday, statiug that a pro-slavery man cam~;
into the camp of Capt. New by, 011 Friday
evening, aud informed him that he had been
driven from, his house. A non-commission-
ed officer and two sodiers were dispatched
to inquire into the matter, Upou riding up
to the house they were fired upon, one
sodier was shot, supposed to be mortally
wounded, and two horses were killed. Capt.
New by and twelve men then went to the
house, and found one man in it—'the balance
had fled—he was arrested.
Remarkable Phenomenon on Lake Erie.—
A despatch, dated Oswego, June 5, says :
During the the thunder storm yesterday
the Lake suddenly rose three feet at this
place, and.as suddenly fell again. The phe-
nomenon was repeated several times, caus-
ing vessels to be farced rapidly from their
moorings, and creating a general commo-
tion in the harbor.
We learn frjm a Washington despatch
that a meeting to ratify the nomination of
Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency was held
in that city on Saturday evening last, and
speéches were made by Messrs. Cass, Ste-
phens and Doug'as.
Mr. Gerritt Smith offers §10 000 of a
million to be raised for aid to i lie free set-
tlers in Kansas—so says the New York
Courier and Enquirer.
The brig China, from New York for
Philadelphia, was capsized in a squall oil

Worms,
CF As this is the season of the year when
worms are most formidable among children, the
proprietors, of M'Lane's Vermifuge fog leave to
call the attention of pat ents to its virtues for the
expelling of these annoying, and often fatal ene-
; mies of children. It was invented by a physician
of great experience in Virginia, who, after hav-
ing used it for sever;.! years in his own practice,
and found its success so universal, was induced at
last to offer it to the public as a cheap, but certain
and excellent medicine. It has since become
justly popular throughout the United States, as
the most efficient Vermifuge ever known, and
the demand has been steadily on the increase
since its first introduction to the public.

Important, if True.—The New Orleans
Delia lias tl.e following letter from its Cen-
tral American correspondent:
Gbeytown, June 5th, 1856.
Dear Sir: Since posting my letter this
morning, rumors have reached this place
from the interior, that San Salvador, Hon-
duras and Guatemala have united, aud are
inarching with a considerable force on
Nicaragua. Mr. Cotterell, the American
Consul, thinks the rumor anticipated, such
reports having often been made current at
Grey town.
1 have mentioned to you that Gnptaiu
Tarleton, of the Enrydice, has no orders
from the British Government to interfere
with emigrants going up the San Juan
river. Iledid not notice the Minnie Schitfer
expedition in any way whatever.
Nothing is known of the Orizaba affair
here, and the thinking people say the etate-
ment rrade public by the Captain of said
steamer quite out of place.
Yours, truly, *
American Cotton in Portugal.— A circular
liai-iug been received by the U. S Consul
at Oporto in relation to the production, com-
merce and manufacture of cotton iu Portu-
gal, he has transmitted to the Department
of the Interior, iu a recent letter, the follow-
ing information :
Tlie cotton plant is not cultivated as an
article of commerce in Portugal, but is,
however, to be seen growing in the Botanic-
al Gardens at Coimbra, aud in a few of the
gardens of the wealthiest of the nobility.
The raw article of cotton is received
principally from America, aud tho manu-
factured article from Great Britian.
In the year 1955 the quantity of raw and
manufactured cotton imported into Oporto
amounted to 6.G97.454 pounds, the value of
which is estimated at §1,516.G44,on which
the duty paid was $399,579 13.
Of the total quantity imported, only 1,-
911,451 pounds was raw cotton, valued at
§197, 872 72, and paying a duty of §411
03. The remainder, nearly five-sixths of
the whole, constituting the manufactured
article, iu the shape ol yarn, cotton velvets,
calicoes and other textures, amounts to 4,
586,003 pounds, valued at Si,318 771,on
which a duty is levied of $397,167 20.
Another History of Texas.—The Colum-
bia Democrat has the following item :
We have heard a literary on dit the last
week which wo sincerely hope may pi ovo
true. It is that our country mm, the lion.
James H. Bell contemplates writing a his-
tory of Texas. We have often cast about
among the old citizens of this country for
a man every way qualified to undertake a
correct, impartial history of it, and always
-when doing so, we have returned to him, as
the only man eminently well qualified for
such an undertaking. Ilis education lias
keen liberal, and his reading extensive, his
style in writing has that peculiar clarm
which attaches to the classical literature of
all people, ancient and modern. His asso-
ciations have always been with the actors
of the heroic deeds of our revolution, hav-
ing come upon the stage of action subse-
quent to those who participated in the con-
flicts. He must also necessarily have at his
immediate disposal, a vast fund of informa-
tion hitherto unused, if not in a measure
unattainable to those who have attempted
such works. He also possesses reasoning
powers and judgment, rarely surpassed. Hi*

ARE daily receiving additions to their already
large and varied assortment of the above
kind of goods, all of which they arc offering at
very low prices. The following comprise a pur- (
tion of the articles kept : ISlCSl Cylinder COttOM 42ÍM8.
Plain and decorated China, Glass and Earthen (-fjvHE Union Manufacturing Cornjany own the
1 exclusive right for the manufacture ánd sal®
of these Gins in the State of Texas. The Gins
have now been in successful operation for two
seasons in this Stnte, and the Company being
fully satisfied of their immense vslue to the
Planter, from the very superior manner iu which
they clean both Short and Long* Stap'cd Cotton,
have established two permanent Agencies, one in
Eastern and one in Western Texas, where the
Gins, or any part of them,"can be obtained at a
moments notice, and experienced men will le
on hand to set them running, and give their atten-
tion until the Planters are fully acquainted with
their operation.
It is not strange that many evil reports should
be circulated respecting ihis Gin, when it is ap*
parent that it is destined to take the place of all
others. Those who have given the Gin a fai
trial, are well satisfied that it will make the Lint
worth from one to two cents pir pound more* tLan
from the Sa\r Gin, and this verdict has been fully
sustained by the Manufacturer.
The Lyman Mills, at Holyoke, Mass.. one of
ti.e laigest Companies in New England, who arc
now using Sea Island Cotton from this Gin, have
decided that it prepares the staple for the mills
far bi tter than the Roller Gin.
This Gin does not cut, break or nap the staple
It clcans trashy cottou iu a very superior man-
ner.
It will not cut or injure the hands thai attend it.
Sticks, stones, nails, or any hard substance
brown into it with the cotton, will not injure the
i Gin.
All the Company ask is a thorough and impar*
iial trial of the Gin, which they kn<-w will do as
much cottm per day as the Saw Gin, and make
it far more vain íble.
The following Certificates,selected from a large
number of the same import, will serve to show
the estimation in which this Gin is held by those
who have used it:

Fort Bend County, October 20, ]855.
Mr. Phillips—Dear Sir: The Gin is doing as
well as could be expected. The overseer has
packed thiity-one bales, weighing 500 lbs. tach,
which was ginned in nine days. I am satisfied it
is the best Gin I ever had. as it does not cut the
bolls or any ether trash that may be in the cotton.
The leaves pass through whole, and the bolls
come out with the seed, which is a great advan-
tage over the Saw Gin—the Saw Gin cuts the
most of them to pieces. I am yours, most truly,

The following is extracted from a letter receiv-
ed by Louden & Co., from a highly respectable
merchant of Texas:
Your Cherokee Liniment was used by a farmer
in Grimes county, as a tvbstifufe for Calomel, Tur-
penline. Tobacco Juice, or Fish O f, and the result
was, ii destroyed tho Maggots immediately, and
the smell of it proved so offensive to ihe blow fly
that they would not make a second attack where
the Liniment had been applied to an injur}'. In
that section, Calomel and other remedies are en-
tirely superseded, much expense saved to stock
r.xisers.
Wm. II. Eliott, druggist of Houston. Texas.
writes, November 11, IS-54 : 1 can and will vouch
for the efficacy of your Cherokee Liniment, fKm
personal observation, and I unhesitatingly recom-
mend it to all persons engaged in raisini; or hav-
ing Cattle, Horses, llogsj Sheep, kc. The appli-
cation is simple, and in no case has it produced
any bad effects. Shake the bottle well before us-
ing, and apply with a feather or brush, sufficient
to saturate the place where the worms are depos-
ited, and they will vacate and fall dead in live
minutes. It is seldom necessary to make more
than one application.
Extract from a letter from the lion. D. C. Dick-
son. of Grimes countv, Texas, dated August 21.
1850: Loudon & Co's Cherokee Liniment is the
great remedy for the destruction of worms or
maggots which trouble the domestic animals of
Texas. The Liniment destroys them effectually
and instantaneously.
You need have no fear of warranting it: it will
certainly do it, and I could send you a large num-
ber of certificates, if necessary, from our best cit-
izens. It gives universal satisfaction as a destroy-
er of thoi'' troublesome insects.
Again, Hon. D. C. Dickson writes, October 10,
1855: Your Cherokee Liniment is a desideratum
long needed here for the destruction of the Screw
Worm in Stock, aud lays in the shade completely, j -
Calomel and ever}' other article usuailv resorted Ihe fullest satisfaction,

Huntsville, Texas, dated December 24,1855 : We
anticipate a heavy sale for your Cherokee Lini-
ment in the ensuing year, 185G, from the fact that
it is now a well settled láct, that it is the best
remedy yet discovered against the effects of the
blow tly, and the instant removal of the Screw
Worm from Stock, as w ii as a great remedy for
all it has been heretofore recommei.ded.
I Roger &i Heppenstall, Lockhart, Texas, writes,

THE great celebrity this article has obtained
throughout the country—superceding the use
of all other mineral substances wherever it has
been introduced—has caused various parties in-
terested in other mineral paints to sell theirs as
the BRIDGEWATER.
With a view,therefore, to protect the company's
interest, and to prevent Planters aud others from
the gross imposition that has been practiced upon
them, it becomes necessary to

effectually guard against imposition, the Agents
deem it expedient to state that the established
price for the'Bridgewater Paint is four cents per
pound—dry. in barrels of 350 pounds each ; and
as there is no deviation in price, under, any cnt-
