EL ECTTOJTNE W S!
The returns come in slowly, so much so that we are unable to give any thing definite in regard to the result. We give below a summary of the
®ews
received, up till the hour of going to press. Jt la impossible to say at the present writing, which •f the three candidates for President is electcd. Our hopes are for Fremont, but there isaprobability that our fondest anticipations will be Matted. In this short paragraph we will eay that tf we are defeated,we are not conquered. We are by no means discouraged, and shall nxvxa give Bp the contest foi freedom while reason holds-its sway in our brain.
But the result as far as heard from, is that this county has probababy gone for the old liners by 100 majority.
The full returns has not been handed us. We will publish them next week. The Republican majority in Tippecanoe a 467.
The retnrns show that the Republican majority in this district (8th,) will be larger for Fremont than it was for Mr. Wilson.
Buchanan, has perhapB carried the State by a •mall majority, but we do not yet give it up. PENNSYLVANIA 2* still in doubt.
OHIO
Has gone for Fremont by 25,000 majority. ILLINOIS Is still in doubt, though the indications are in favor of Fremont. The Republican gain in Chicago is 3,183.
NEW YORK
Has undoubtedly gone for Fremont by a large Bajority. Every New England State as far as heard from, has gone for the Path finder.
The returns from the south Indicate that Mr. Filmore's chances for carrying Lousiane, Tenneseee, Kentucky and Maryland are pretty good.— If be should carry these States, the election will be thrown into the House. Our best adviser* state that Mr. Fillmore has certainly carried Kentucky by 4,000, and Maryland by a small majori•7-

A SPECIMEN OP YOUNG AMERICA.— SOME
few months ago, in passing along the treet, we met a little fellow, whose general aspect attracted our attention toward bim, as a particular distinct "sample" of "Young America." He was about the size and build of a plug of "dog leg" tobacco his head suggested the memory of ap october tussock while hi.s face was some sort of a landscape, done up in free-soil and apple butter. "Who are you" said I, rather sternly. "Me!" said the juvenile fillibnster, looking large, "Don't yon know .me—I'm one of *eml"

KANSAS PRISONERS!
Their Appml to th« Country. 7
Their history of their Arrest and its ctusis.
Great Political Prinon, Lecompton, JT. T.) Sunday, Oct. 19, 1856. It is well known to the whole civilized world that previous to the arrival of Gov. Geary in Kansas, this Territory was the scene of a most direful civil war. It is equally woll known that in nil that terrible drama the people of Kansas were alone the sufferers, and that organized bands of robbers and murderers from the adjoining States were almost the sole perpetrators.— In the beginning they had wrested our government from us and made our laws, but finding us unwilling to fawn to their dictates and to acknowledge them as our lords (as people who had once tasted liberty should be.) they used fire, starvation and the sword to bring us to submission. Having no other resource onr people were at last compelled to resort to the stoies of our enemies for the necessities of life.
As we have said, such was the condition of things on the arrival of our new Governor. He appeared among us about the first of September, and was hailed as our deliverer. The much lamented Major Hoyt who had known bim in Pennsylvania, in Mexico, and in California, assured us lhat we might hope for justice and protection. Geary's course at Leavenworth City, and the assurance of a Mr. Adams, bis confidential friend and adviser, together with our ardent hopes for peace and rest, led us to believe he would be our friend. All at least were willing to trust him, to act with him and under his advice. Nor waB this confidence in his friendship shaken by his inaugural and proclamation, which was issued on the 11th of September, copies of which were brought down to Lawrence that same evening by Mr. Adams, and read to the people. We therefore determined to take no offensive steps without his sanction.
About daybreak on the morning of the 12th Gov. Geary, at the head of four hundred United States troops, rode up to the fort on Capital Hill, near Lawrence and asked who had command of the place? Capt. Bickerton answered, "I have the honor to command here at present." The Governor then advanced and said, "I am Governor Geary, of Kansas. I have came to prevent the effusion of blood. I have heaid that a body of
While Lawrence was being visited by the Governor, a band of Southern marauders, under thciead of one Robertson, made a descent upon the town of Grasshopper Falls, and after plundering the same, set fire to it, burning a considerable amount of property. They then retreated to Hickory Point, where they intended to remain fortified, until called upon by the main body of the "laitf and order" army, to aid in the wiping Out of Lawrence. The day following, Gen. Lane, who had not seen the Governor's proclamation, with about fifty or one hundred men, happened to pas« near Hickory Point, and at the unanimous demand Of the citizens under him, led to an attack upon the fortified ruffians, but having no artillery, he found himself unable to dislodge them without great loss.— He therefore withdrew and sent to Lawrence on the night of the 13th. Many wished to obey the summons at once— others were in a quandary. Robertson's company would soon join the forces before Lawrence, and must be whipped then if not now. Which course should be taken? Mr. Adams, the friend of the Governor, and who remained in town after the departure of Geary, privately advised many to go, and publicly sanctioned the expedition, remarking that he would go himself if he only had a horse! This decided the course of the people. They thought for onec that they could defend their homes and friends with the approbation of high authority. A force of one hundred and twenty was raised and marched under the command of Col. Harvey.
In the meantime Lane received the Governor's proclamation, withdrew from Hickory Point, and afterwards disbanded his men. This did not deter H«rvey from making an attack upon the fortified position, which he did, completely routing the enemy, killing one j)f their number and «v orti et Twst ft

are marching upon Lawrence for the purpose of destroying the town." Geary was then asked if he knew this to bo a fact, and replied that he had it "officially."— Captain Bickerton remarked that, "if there are no more than fifteen hundred, they will go back faster than they come." With an appearance of astonishment, the Governor anked, "Don't you expect to be governed by the constitution?" Capt. Bickerton responded that "the Free State men had always been governed by it." "Well," said the Governor, "don't your people sometimes burn houses and commit other depredations?" "I should not wonder if by this time some have become so exasperated as to do so," returned Capt. Bickerton, adding, as he pointed at the brass cannon, "SACRAMEHTO," "I was at Franklin, and aided in the taking of that. I was also at Washington Creek and at Titus' Fort. We found Titus the evening before engaged in robbing houses and stealing horses"—(and he might have added with truth, "making attempts upon the lives of our citizens.") If the destruction of such dens of murderers and plunderers is houseburnivg, then are the Free State men house burners indeed." The Governor said that he must see that the laws (territorial) he obeyed. Bickerton replied that the Free State men would not obey the territorial laws so long as they believed slavory to be an evil, for they could not express sentiments in accordance with their belief without exposing themselves to the heaviest penalties. After some further conversation about the laws and their validity the Governor inquired who were the constituted authorities of Lawrence, and on being told that,Lawrence was not a corporate town, and that no person assumed any more authority than the rest, he offered to "treat" with Capt. Bickerton. The Captain, however, declined, and sent the Governor into town, where he was warmly welcomed by a large number of its citizens and other Kansas settlers, who had taken refuge in the place. The Governor assured them, in speetdi, that he intended to drive all lawless bands out of the Territory, but for the present advised the Free State men to remain under arms for their own "protection, and not disband until he should first have accomplished his part.
th® .charge against his men. On onr return, errcamtjed five milee from the WefiiPbf action^ $r here we were all taken prisoners that night,-by. a detachment of United States dragoons, under command of Captain Word. Our forces numbered one hundred and one. No resistance was made by the troopi. After being deprived of our arpis, a strong guard was placed upon ua About this time, the guide, (of the dragoons) a pro-slavery man, named Grayson, fearing that Capt. Word might very possibly arrest the other party also,— as intimations were made to that effect— broke through the guard, for the purpose, of warning them of such a result. He was hailed by the sentinel, but did not stop, at the same time, crying out, "Halt yourself G—d d—n you." The sentinel fired at him without effect. Grayson returned the fire, his shot taking effect in the sentinel's shoulder. Two other sentinels then advanced and fired, one ball going through Graysons heart, killing him instantly. This is the only foundation of a "great fight" between the Abolitionists and the Government troops, so much circulated by certain parties.
The next day we wero marched to Lecompton, where we were for the first week under guard of the federal troops. We wore then marched to the prison house,
4where
we now are. guarded by the Territorial militia, nine-tenths of whom are non residents and intend leaving the Territory as soon as the time of their 'three months' enlistment under Geary shall have expired. /A number of other prisoners have been brought in since, charged with various offenses. A number havo escaped from this den of horror, a few have been discharged, and one was released this raorning by the Great Deliverer. Our number is now ninety-eight, eighty-seven of whom are held on the Hickory Point charge. The remaining eleven are suspected of having been engaged in feeding their starving families with bread forcibly taken from those who were endeavoring to destroy them. Time alter time has Governor Geary said that no action should be taken concerning political offenses committed previous to the issue of his proclamation, yet more than once since has he used that portion of the Federal under his command, to make seizures of persons so charged. We are all held either against this promise, or for following the advice of one supposed to speak by authority, and during all this time not a pro-slavery man has been arrested, although Governor Geary and the U. S. Marshal cannot help knowing, that murders and other crimes have been committed by the leaders ot' that, party. Even Geary's militia, after the murder of David Buffum, passed through
Lecompton under a black flag, the emblem of pirates, no one daring to molest them. A portion of our number have families depending upon onr earnings for support. We have also, many of us, outstanding crops of great value going to waste, or suffering heavy loss.
We now come to speak of a subject too vital to admit of our passing it unnoticed, yet too full of horror to dwell upon. We allude to our treatment and condition since onr confinement here, any description of which mupt come for short of the terrible reality. A few of our guard will ever be remembered by us with emotions of the deepest gratitude for their kindness, but the greatest portion of them are drunken, brawling demons, too vile and wicked for portrayal. Timfes without number have they threatened to shoot us or stab us, and not unfrequently have they attempted to carry out their hellish threats. Several nights have the guards amused themselves throughout their different watches by cursing us, throwing stones at the house and breaking glass, sash, fee. Two large cannon stand planted but a few yards from our prison, and two nights has the match been swung several hours in the hands ot the gunners with orders to fire both cannon (loaded with shot and slugs) upon ns, in case our friends should come in sufficient force to avenge our wrongs. These, however, are only slight, compared with other insuits and sufferings heaped upon us daily. Most of us are poorly clad—a few have bedding—our prison is open and exposed, and is surrounded with filth.— Within all is covered with vermin, and everything is mixed with misery.
In childhood we listened with doubt to the dark stories of the Jersey prison ship* ind the Black Hole of Calcutta, never dreaming that we should at last be actual piisoners in their counterpart. More than once have wo prophesied to each other that all would not leave this charncl house alive. Our assertions have boen verified. Several have been sick—dangerously &ick —one has died, FIi« name was William Bowlep, formerly from St. Charles, Missouri. He labored with us nobly in defending our God given rights, and it was with feelings of unutterable sorrow that we parted with him. After an illness of two days he left his sufferings this morning at 1 o'clock. Before his death we requested the officer of the guard to have him removed to a place of quiet. We talked and became tired, yet nothing was done.— Last night all the physicians in town were sent for, and each refused to come. Dr. John P. Wood, who is a Justice of the Peace and a Judge of Probate, could not come "because he was sick," yet he was seen that evening, as well as the following morning, doing hard labor. Others had reasons, we know not what. Dr. Brooks was sent for five times, but as he was at a card table playing poker he swore that he "would not leave the game to save every G—d d—d abolitionists in the Territory." Many thanks are due, however, to Mr. Caldwell, a pro-slavery man, and Mr. Marshall of the town of Lecompton for the kind aid they gave us.
The Governor paid ns a visit yesterday morning, which is the third cince our incarconation. We showed him young Bowels and told him we feared this was the beginning of an epidemic which would prove fatal to not a few. We showed him our scanty clothing. He said the Grand Jnry which was in session all last week would probably finish its business by night. that all against whom no bills were found would bo immediately released, and that although he was going away and should be absent several days, yet he should loave Orders that all ihoMr detained should be provided with every comfort that could b# procured. But the Grand Jury has not ended its examination and nope can tell when it will. Sicknea and death of the tnoet horrid forms are in our midst—"the scrapings of pandemonium sftrround us. Ws can see nothing left ns hot an appeal to the last Tribunal villi Qofl IS &ar

PHOENIX BITTERS.
FREE FROM ALL MINERAL POISONS.
^J^HE great popularity whieh Moffat's Life 1 Fills ana Phoenix Bitters have attained in consequence of the extraordinary cures effected by their use, renders i) unnecessary for tho proprietor to enter into a particular analysis of their medical virtues or properties. Having been more than twenty years before the public and having the united testimony of more than Three Million* of persons who have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect health by them, it is believed that their reputation as the best vegetable medicine now before the public, admits of no dispute. In almost every city and village in the United States, thei'e are many who are ready to testify to their efficacy in removing disease, andgiving to the whole system renewed vigor and hfialtb.
In eases of Scrolnla, Ulcers, 8e«rv«y or Eruptions of the tkin, the operation ofthaLiie Mecicines is truly astonishing, often removing in a few days, every •estate of these loathsome diseases, by their purifying effccts on the blood .— Fever and Acne, Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Piles, and in short most all diseases, soon yield to their curativc properties. N0 family should be without them, as by their timely use much suffering snd expense may be saved. Prepared by
