On (ue 15th inst., while Gea. Moreno and his principal officers were enjoying a late breakfast at the residence of the second mititary com- man ter, the house was attacked by about tweaty scidiers, under orders of a persop by the name of Juan Castilla y Peren, who poured iu several volleys of musketry, mor- tally wounding one of thegeneral’s aida, whilst the greater nutnber of the party were made prisovers, including the General. Inthe meantime the cry of «* Religiou y Fueros”’ was raised, and then the disturbance became general. The artillery barracks, situated in the centre of the city, were immediately occupied by Castilla y Pereu, when vol” jeys of musketry were fired in great disorder. Col. Eulogio Gautier Valdomar, who, it is said, joined the revolted party, was shot through the body by a ser- geant, and instantameously expired in their midst." In Oo- tober, 1856, this same Valdomar figured at the bead of a revolution in this city against Garza. = The ports on the east and west sides of thepeily remain- ed in the hands of the government party, and as soon as the news of the imprisonment of Gen. Moreno reached the ears of the officers they opened their fire on the city, killing several innocent pergons and causing serious inju ry to the private dwellings. This seemed to me to be a novel mode of warfare, as it was equaily gratifyingto the officers of the fort to destroy a friend as it was to destroy afoe. During the space of two hours the inhabitants of | this eity were exposed to these horrors, whon the gov. j erament party regained possession of the city, released | Gen. Moreno, and happily restored order.

It was also determined, at these meetings, 1 instrect the delegate to the Convention in Lawrence, on the #h inst., to request Governor Robinson, in behaif of :ho “squatter sovereigns’’ of Kansas, toc | the Topeka Lagis- lature together at once. Also, to convene the Torriterial Legislature, by authority of the people, and have that body. independent of the Territorial officials, take such action as would secure the repeal of the acts ‘under vhich the Lecompton Convention was elected and convered to frame a constitution. It soon became evident to Secretary, now Acting Gover- nor, Stanton, that the people were in earnest, determined to resist the Calhoun fraud, at all ualess he did sometuing, the Delegate Convention ia Lawrance would take such action as would secure the immediate convening of tho Topeka government, its completion and enforcement all over the Territory; and, in addition to that, the epeedy assembling of the Territorial Legislature, backed up by twenty thousand of the men of Kansas, de" termined to rid the Territory of the Lecompton bogus go- verument, about to be endorsed by Congress and enforced by the United States army. ‘So at last he was compelled to convene the Territorial Legislature, to prevent the adoption of radical tneasure by the people, and preserve the existence of John Cal- beun’ 's despotism until suck time as it could be carried out by the aid of the United States government, and every attempt to adopt the Topeka organization could be punished ‘and put down as treason. I believe that if by any means the Calhoun State or; zation is ever perfected in Kansas, and enferced, tl aH will be no chance of securing its destruction by the poeo- ple. A small minority can sustain it, and it will be as ‘easy to overthrow the government of South Carolina as Kansas, when once established. ‘Our enemies by their action concede that mint ; hence their perseverance in preventing our people from perfect ing our Topeka orgauization, well satistied taat if once fully in force, there willbe no hope of any cther being set up in opposition to it. ‘The proclamation of Governor Stanton had the desired effect. The Convention did not request Govemor Robiu- son to convene the Topeka Legislature, but coniented itself by passing the following resolution, with others:-— Resolved Phat this Delegate Convention dohereby en- dorse the constitution known as the Topeka constitution, and do declare it to represent the wishes Pf mires ofthe people of Kansas to-day; and that when it shallhave again received the popular sanction, under authority of tho only legitimate Territoral Legislature ever convened in Kansas Territory, recognized by the authority of the United States, that we shal! maintain it against all oppysition.’” ie & resolution complimenting Gov. Stanto for con- vening the Legislature, The Legislature, when convened, proposes :o pass an act submitting both the Lecompton and Topeka constitu- tions to a fair vote of the people—a proposal which I ua- derstand Governor Stanton is very much opposedto. He does not want the Topeka constitution submittec; only the Lecompton document; for the adoption of the former contemplates an immedi Organization under it by the people. To kill the Topeca movement, which is re- ‘as the great representative idea of the impending contest in this country, “the right of the people to form their own institutions in their own way”—a doctrine re- diated by the sham democracy and adopted by the re- publican party in Kansas; and Lence the opposition of the self-styled democracy to it. It is expected that the democratic party in Congress will deny the right of this Legislature to do anything in refe- rence to the action of Joba Calfmun and his compeers. ‘That party will claim that after the constitutional Conver tion has performed the duties for which it was convened, ‘no Iegwvlation can render its action invalid and of no effect by the repeal of the act which called it ir. At this special session of the Territorial Legisiature just calied by acting Governor Stanton, it is proposed to repeal all the acts of the last Legislature pertaining to the clec: tion of a Convention to frame a constitution, and make it a criminal offence for any one to act in the capacity of judge of lection, in pursuance to the schedule adopted by said ‘ onventiog, aud by doing thus it is hoped to put a quietus 1 @ thing. ts also currently reported that Joba Calhoun is about to call the old Territorial ee ether at Lecomp- ton on Monday next, and ay ie convened, to insist upon its being recognized as v: atid by the acting Governor. EXCITING TIMES ANTICIPATED. Tt does seem as if the political agitation in Kansas would ever cease. No sooner has oue cause of excitement pass- ed away than another is sprung upon us, In my last T fave the proclamation of ecting Governor Stanton, and the ye of the Delegate Convention in this city on the From the action of the Convention it was of course ob- | served that the plan of the free State wtf ‘waa to submit | the Lecompton constitation and the Topeka constitution | side and side.

If there is any man or men who have claims for services rendered in the late election of printer, we would be pleased for them to make application to us, personally, or to make a public demand through the press. Bither mode will be satisfac- tory for our purposes. fe make this statement only for those who do uot know us—it is not necessary for those who do.
