By reference to telegraph dispatches it will be seen that Brooks has challenged Senator ! Wilson, for in his speech pronouncing Brooks' t attack no Sumner cowardly, &c. Wilson very j I'll . i. ii i 1 canaiaiy says in ins rep ly, inai ne cnaracierized the attack as brutal, murderous and cowardly. IT declines fishtinjr a duel with Brooks. So far as this declination goes it is very proper but he should have declined upon a more personal ground. He ought to have said to Brooks "I not only refuse to accept your challenge for the reason I have given, but because I shall not consent to place my self on a level with a man whom all good j men pronounce a ruffian and a coward, and whom I have stigmatized as such in my place i in the Senate, in almost the very spot where , 4 Via V1w4 r.f mir MAllanrvtiA attii-1 3na0 wnni niT fianism and coward ice." Writhing under the Btingings of his own conscience, and the just and bitter condemnation of the public, and feeling he has been guilty of a cowardly act Brooks seems now exceedingly anxious to fight a duel with somebody to prove he is not so arrant a coward as he is accused of being. No gentleman should accord him this privilege. No gentleman should tarnish his own reputation by assisting this person to rise above his present reputation. We are sorry to perceive that Gen. Lane has chosen to degrade his position and his public reputation (his private reputation won't be hurt) by acting as bearer of Brooks' challenge. Gen. Lane is very fond of making himself conspicuous in such matters as these, and is aln a s ambitious of having his H:mebefore the public, as men of small talent, but elevated by fortuitous circumstances, generally are. Recently even in this, his native State, his name is almost forgotten, and himself sunk into political obscurity. Probably in his desire to emerge trom the nothingness of his present, he has consented to stand by his ruffian friend Brooks. Gen. Lane can gain no honor by this, except among the fire-eaters of South CarolinaThe notoriety may be gratifying to his feelings, but it is not such as any honest man may covet. Under the circumstances, we feel particularly gratified that Gen. Lane now hails from Oregon. He may be even second to Brooks, or descend to any ether personal degredation, without injuring the reputation of Indiana. Opinion of the Young Men. A young gentleman from Evansville, now at Harvard University, Mass., thus writes of the reception of the news among the students, of the Brooks and Sumner difficulty. We should like to publish the whole of our young friend's letter on this subject, but he will probably feel under no especial objections for what we have taken the liberty to publish: You will, several days before this reaches you, hear from the dispatches concerning the attack on Senator Sumner, of Boston, in the Senate Chamber. The news reached here last night and appeared in this morning's papers, and as you may suppose created great excitement. How it is received by his constituents, the people, I do not yet know; but it excites the greatest indignation among the students of the law school. The school is composed of young men from every partof the United States, all of them citizens voters (very few of us excepted), well educated, and of the best families in the country, most dis tinguished for literature, politics and wealthmany sons of U. S. Senators, Representatives' Governors, &c; and may, perhaps, be said to represent, as far as young men can, the senti ments of the country. And the opinion is al most unanimous that the attack was brutal, ccwarJly and degrading a disgrace to the Senate that permits it, and to the House that can furnish such a member. (3 The Enquirer of Saturday devotes a column to abusing the Free State men of Kansas, defending the Ruffians, and misstating farts relative to Lawrence. Yet that paper has not published probably altogether a half: column of news relative to the late difficulties ' K'ansas ! We have dailv kept our readers in posted in relation to the Kansas difficulties, giving both sides, with original correspondence from friends on the spot, and all it has published has been a prevaricating, lying editorial, too basely and absurdedly false in its statements to deserve even the notice we have given it. - 03- The Cincinnati Commercial of Friday says: The Indiana Delegation arrived last evening and proceeded at once to their comfortable quarters prepared for them by Henry Alms, of the Veranhah on Third street, between Main and Walnut.

Col. J. U. Lane. A knavish editor in this city having taken his cue from the State Sentinel, and called Col. J. II. Lane " a craven hearted and das

tardly scoundrel, " we clip the following from la Madison paper. Some of the officers and Jmen who served under Col. Lane in Mexico, , heard his speech at Madison, and had their attention called to a charge of cowardice made ; against Lane by the Lafayette American. Without consulting him they met and drew ' up the following : ' J Madison, May 21, 1S56. j The attention of the undersigned has been called to the following extract, published in the Lafayette Daily American of May 16, 1856 : " Lane did not send a challenge and had no serious idea of doing so. At the battle of Bae na Vista he was the leader of the famous run-, ning Regiment, and, no doubt, like the crip-. pled captain in some other noted regiment, 'as 1 he was a little lame he started first. ' " j We were under the command of Col. Lane at the battle of Euena Vista. Said Regiment was not at any time, during that sanguinary conflict, confused or compelled to give back ; was handled throughout with the same coolness and precision as on the parade-ground, and, in our opinion, the victory of Buena Vis- 1 ta was recovered by the skill of Col. Lane and the steadiness of his command, after it had been lost. , - j We were present and witnessed the ren-' contre referred to in the Indiana State SentiInel of Saturday, 2ith inst., between Gen. JoI I- T .nA rrl fVl -T 1 T T .1 t n an? iinVirtdf a . . ,,.nourice tue statement as false and i w J slanderous. We know Jim Lane and knowing him declare that if his country's or his own honor ;Mman K". Vf. :rr,7.""; our opinion His Satanic Majesty would be first " to plead privilege. " In vindication of the memory of the gallant dead and in justice to the living of Indiana's volunteers, we respectfully request tha? sucn . eriirnra na hnvinT nnblished the slander re'er-- , . ... .v-r., t: .

Davidson, Donald Cameron, J ames Lathrop, J oseph Irvy, C G u K There are several gentlemen in this city who would have taken pleasure in signing the above. One was officer of the day, at Agua Neva where the difficulty occurred between Gen. Lane and Col. Lane. There was no backing out then to Col. Lane. The officers of the day alludedd to, put a speedy stop to the difficulty by promptly threatening to put them both in the guard house ! Col. Lane afterwards challenged Gen. Lane, and received no answer to his challenge. V :gorousiy as the Whigs opposed Col. Lane in politics, they never charged the brave soldier with being a coward. That has been left for the dirty hands of those who but a few months ago were eulogizing Col. Lane to the skies. Gen. Lane and Col. Lane may be equals in bravery. No one doubts but that they did their duty in Mexico, and acted the part of brave men. But Col. Lane is as far above Gen. Lane in real ability as heaven is above earth. . Ohio Republican Convention. The Republican Convention met at Colum bus, O., last Thursday. The following nominations were made. For Supreme Court Judge, short term, O. Bovven, of Marion coun ty ; long term, Josiah Scott; of Butler. School Commissioner, Mr. Smith, of Franklin. Com. of Public Works, John Waddles, of Ross. When the Convention had proceeded thus far, the following dispatch was received from the Republican Convention sitting at Bloomington, 111. : v " To the President of the Ohio State Republican Convention : The Delegates of the Freemen of Illinois in Convention assembled send greeting to the Freemen of Ohio. W. H. Bissell is nominated for Governor by the most enthusiastic acclamation. We have the largest Delegate Convention ever assembled in Illinois. Gov. Reederand Mrs. Robinson are here, and have appeared before the public, greeted by the wildest applause. The excitement consequent upon the late outrages at Lawrence, is sweeping like wild-fire over the land. BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE. " The following dispatch was returned : . " Ohio to Illinois responds. The announcement of the gallant Bis.sell's nomination was received amid tremendous cheers. The names of Reeder and Mis. Robinson were greeted with three cheers from the thousands assembled here. John Hunt and Gen. Lane are here and speak this evening. All is enthusiasm. " Six Senatorial Delegates were elected. Caleb B. Smith and Mr. Ferkins were elected Presidential Electors. 07" We are glad to see that all the respecta ble papers ot the bouth take exactly the same view of the Brooks and Sumner affair that we have taken. All of them say that Sumner is entitled to no sympathy personally, but that Brooks has been guilty of a great outrage that ught to be punished. Lou. Jonr. We cannot see why Sumner is not entitled to sympathy personally. He may be mistaken ia hisopinions, but he has always had the cred- ; 01 leinS m"st- 1 Ue language he used toI i.t i r i warus Duiier anu uougias is in no comparison so bad, vulgar or generally disagreeable, as that jfhich those gentlemen are in the habit of using. Northern men have time and again borne vastly stronger language from their Southern opponents than Sumner used on this occasion. Even since that affair, Butler rose in the face of the Senate and called Wilson a liar. The application of this epithet might have ofiered a better excuse for what Sumner received, than Sumner's offence. fjT" A few hundred exchange papers for sale at this office.

LATER FROM KANSAS. Origin of I lie War.--I nitres tin;; Par- - - ' - ticulars.

Topeka, Kansas, May 22, 1856. Dear Journal:-I hardly know how, in these exciting times, to attempt to write a letter, and you must excuse any shortcomings, for I have just snatched a moment off of military duty to devote to you. You have doubt less heard many rumors as to the origin of the war. I will endeavor to give- you a true, impartial history of it up to the present hour. When the Congressional Committee began their investigation, the opposite party found that they were collecting a mass of evidence that would astonish the country, and completely annihilate their every hope of success, and they determined to do something to drive them from the country. In fact, they commenced it before the committee had properly commenced their business. It is proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the bogus Sheriff, Jones, was shot by order of the pro-slavery party. That they did not intend to kill him is evident, for the first shot was fired at his leg. But suppose they had killed him? What is one life to them, when it opens a prospect for them to destroy a thousand or two Free State settlers? But, contrary to their expectations, that failed to bring on the war, although a number of their most prominent leaders stumped the border counties for that purpose. But something else must be done. The Investigating Committee were bringing to light the most extensive frauds. Even the old settlers themselves, who thought they were well posted, were thunderstruck at the enormities practiced by the Ruffians throughout the Territory. The next move they make is to get Gov. Reeder out of the way. He was summoned before the Grand Jury at Lecompton; he knew if he went he should never return alive; he knew too, that they had no right to make him go and he refused. His friends all, and the Congressional Committee (who by this time were fully posted in our affairs; and I would to God some of our honest Old Line friends could be oot here a week or two. in order to be posted also, advised him by no means to go. The Marshal then sends an attachment after him; Reeder tells the officer that he is exempt from arrest by virtue of his office, unless for certain crimes, and as none of them are alleged against him, he could not go with him. The committee coincide with him, and the officer finding his errand a bootless one, leaves in disgust. The Marshal issues his proclamation; declares Lawrence in a state of rebellion, and calls on the law and order citizens to help enforca the laws. But sen ls none of the proclamations to a large majority of the towns in the State. In the meantime Col. Buford's company, from Georgia, &c, arrive at Lecompton, anxious for a fight, as they had all their money stolen from them on their way up the river, by some of their compiny, who escaped with it, consequently they are out of funds, and look upon this as a good way to recruit. From the arrival of this party the outrages commence. Every traveler, every emigrant on the public highway is stopped, and if he does not identify himself with the pro-slavery party, he is disarmed and robbed. They have stolen upwards of seventy-five good horses. Have shot down the stock of the settlers like public game. Hve broken open the houses of our settlers and robbed them, and have murdered, in cold blood, four of our most worthy citizens; one of my intimafce friends, Mr. Stewart of New York, a young fellow of splen did prospects, they shot through the brain on day before yesterday. Four settlers from Wauboai, (40 miles,) were riding along the road to Lawrence, a few days ago, and were fired on by a band of the Ruffians; two of them escaped, of the other two nothing is known. They steal everything they come across. A gentleman was coming up the road a day or two ago, and was stopped by a band of these land pirates; they robbed him of $230, and then took him to camp to hang him. The captain objected. The men swore "they would be d d if they did'nt go back to Georgia if they had to let loose every prisoner they took; they had come to Kansas to have some fun, and they were going to have it." Two Indianians were taken, but were released on condition that they would go back to Indiana and never return. You may rest satisfied that they did not do it. Not satisfied with persecuting the men, they also abused the women. They went to one widow lady's house and nearly frightened her to death. After torturing her for a long time they demanded some buttermilk; as she had none, they made her set to work and churn. I might go over a list of a hundred such outrages had I time, outrages which even savages would blush at. The citizens of Lawrence sent delegation after delegation to Shannon and to the Marshal, but they were answered with insult and violence. Some were shot at, and others arrested and threatened with death- They told Shannon that they were law abiding citizens; that the U. S. Marshal could make any arrests he chose in Lawrence. Col. Sumner, the commandant at Leavenworth, was with us; he was anxious to do something for us, but Pierce had placed the army in Shannon's hands, ani the Ruffians all boasted that Shannon was in a tight place; that his life depended onhis toeing the mark, and that they Itept him drunk all the time. But I must hurry to the origin of the drama. Yesterday morning they advanced towards Lawrence, and posted themselves on the hill above the city and planted their cannon. The council there had all the time counciled non-resistance. That they were wrong in so doing is now evident, but they thought the villains had soma sense of honor left. The

l Free State settlers in. . thia neighborhood had I repeatedly sent the settlers in Lawrence word (that they "were anxiou3 to help them, but

they, with a mistaken idea policy, had repeatedly sent word to us to keep ready but not to march. The Marshal. .Donaldson, first went into Lawrence with 20 or 30 as a pospe. and ar'rested Judje Smith. Geo. "W. Deitzler and Mr. ' . Jenkins, ana then returned to tue main ooay

Ihe Citizens then Saw the folly Ot their course; they saw they had placed themselves completely in the hands of the heartless villains, expecting the United States Governselves completely in the hands of the heartless r . ment to interfere in their behalf. In order- to isnvp lifp and nronertv thp COllnril thought it iSae lilt anu properly, Uie council II10U0UI, best to deliver up the guns, which they did. As soon as they had 'obtained possession of j them the Marshal proclaimed that the COUrtS j had decided the Hotel and the printing Office 1 ti'ii -l mi I nuisances, and they must be destroyed. 1 hey Lv t i J .1 - Vt rTt 1! then planted the cannon opposite the Hotel . ........ .. . , r. m ji mi: ' ! and tried tO batter it dOWn, but tailed. 1 hey ' I ' then tried to blow it ud witn srunnowaer ana ., . . .. r. n,, ! tailed in that, they then Set It On tire. lue Hotel is the finest building this Side Of St. Louis, and is splendidly furnished. They then started for the printing offices, one they threw in the river, and the other trey dej stroyed. They next proceeded to burn Gov. j Robinson's dwelling, and that is the last intelligence we have from them. Donaldson gave 'them to understand that if thev would give up their arms, and offer no resistance, there would be no difficulty. As soon as he got them in a defenceless condition he set the blood hounds on. We are in for war. The North will not permit her sons to be persecuted in this manner. Indiana will do her duty, and I hope to God old Vanderburgh will also do hers. While all the . rest of the country are working for us, the Pocket has, as yet, done nothing. I am confident that the Xorth will send us abundance of help, and that we will drive the cowardly villains out of the country. G. A. C. WTe have received from our correspondent the following memorial addressed to Gov. Shannon by citizens of Kansas: Memorial. To His Excellency Gov. Wilson Sliannon: We, "the undersigned, settlers of Kansas, residing st Topeka, do most respectfully set forth' the following facts: An armed body of men, numbering from 600 to 1000. claiming to be U. S. Marshal's posse, have taken possession of the East highways of the 1-Jastern portion ot Kansas, ana are now shooting, stabbing, searching, disarming, robbing and detaining peaceable t ravlers: plundering wagons, stealing and killing stock belonging to settlers, and committing many other outrages. a - Should such action be continued, though we declare ourselves law abiding citizens, nothing can prevent us from resorting to arms to maintain our constitutional rights, and to protect and defend our lives, our homes and property, from the outrages and depradations of a lawless gang of desperadoes. Knowing you have the power of restraining them, we look to you for redress of our grievances. Signed by fifty citizens. Extraokuixary Accidext. Mr. D. Eickets, President of the Jeffessonville Rsilroad, whilst crossing the track of the Lafayette road in a top buggy, at 11. o'clock, 3-esterday, two miles above this city, was run into by the locomotive of the passenger train, by which his buggy and self were thrown some eight or ten rods.
