Yesterday evening, another fall of rock
' and earth took place, and the hopes of
tho workmen were nearly given up ;—
but still determined on effecting the re-
lease of their comrades, they decided up-
on making an archway over the fallen
earth, and thus affect an entrance. Sev-
eral were willing to enter thisdangerous
place, but failed, owing to the falling
rocks. ‘At length R. Lyons succeeded
_ in climbing over, and with his assistance
the men affected their escape. It is
supposed that the length of the entrance
dug out is over four hundred yards, or
nearly a quarter of a mile.
It appears that they -did not suffer
much from hunger. The first day after
the catastrophe, they made a. bed of soft
earth and slept together. During their
sleep the lamps went out, and were not
again lighted. There was only a dinner
for one man in the mines, and this W88

water, three jugs of which were wlllll

THE WAR ACTUALLY BE-
G UN.
LEAVENWORTH CITY, K. T., May 15 ’56.
We have just heard from Lawrence
this morning by a messenger who left
that place at midnight last night. The
enemy-’s force, or Marshal's posse, were.
closing up around Lawrlence,and resum-
ing the pillaging and devastations that
characterized the invasion of last No-
vember. Another rnisfortnne befel the
Free-State men during the night before
last. A roan named Stoel went down
to Kansas City a few days ago for some
breach-loading rifles,—seventy-five-—
that he had stored there. On his return
on the night referred to he was stopped
at Franklin by a company encamped
there, of one hundred men. They sear-
ched his wagon and took the rifles, and
have got them in their hands, and it was
learned yesterday that they were moul-
ding bullets for them. Agentleman who
was riding ahead of them, having got‘
through the party, galioped up to Law-
rence, and urged that men go down to
save them. The “Stubs” were called
out (a gallant volunteer company in
Lawrence.) and were ready to march
down, but conservatism or fear prevailed,
and the order for their marchwas recalled.
This was a fatal error. These men were
acting as liighwaymen; they were not
under a Marshal at the time; they had
been taking prisoners and stopping wag-
ons, and then was the time to strikela
blow and recover the guns. There was
not even a pretended legal difficulty in
theflway.

It is rather funny says the Caurent,
that our government have at length ac-
knowledged the legality of Walker's in-
vasion, after having made the fuss which
they did in New York, respecting the
enlistment and sailing of filibusters.——
Walker's Government was as much one
do factg when Parker H. French came
as Mjnistpf as when Padre Vijil reached
Washington; If the laws of nations al-
low ofits recognition slow. the Same W88
true when the San Juan steamers were
scearclied with such zeal. But it is a
queer Administration, and takes sudden
strange sheets.
We presume that we shall soon be in,
not water with Costa Rica and the other
Centril American powers, and very
probably with England or France, or
both, and all to satisfy tlio rapacity of
Jelfersoii Davis, and Pierre Sotile, and
Quitman, alid men of that stamp, who
hope by such means eventually to seize
Cuba. '

uncompromising and working ma.n,*were in a.
measure confessed and acknowledged. No
organization or party can hope for euccesl if
it discards its eflicientworking men and casts
its honors upon those who participate in none
of its active struggles, and take no part in its
successes or reverses. But the ballotings of
the past week clearly indicate that at the
present juncture, Mr. Dixon is not the availa-
ble candidate, and that a new name must be
presented to unite all the conflicting interests
and preferencestof the opposition. While we
regret this condition of things, the necessity
appears none the less apparent, and in this
state of the case we would take the liberty of
suggesting a name which is “ a tower of
strength,” and which we think will at once
unite all opposing elements, and receive a tri-
umphant election, We refer to Hon. TRUMAN
Surrn. It is known that at the time of his
resignation of his seat in the Senate, he was
President of the Lake Superior "Copper Com-
pany, an office which he feared might inter-
fere with his duties as Senator. This position
we believe, he relinquished sometime since,
when he became a. citizen of our County, and
has been unostentatiously pursuing his profes-
sional avocation ever since. We do not know
that the appointment ' would be desirable, in
fact from what we learn of his pecuniary re-
sources, we doubt whether he could well af-
ford to relinquish his law practice for this po-
sition, but this we do know, it purer patriot,
a man more thoroughly versed in the sti-
ence of statesmanship, or one more peculiar-
ly adapted by the exigencies of the lime: for
the position, does not dwell in Connecticut.’
We have suggested his name without consul-
tation with any man, or concert of action on
the part of any, simply and solely from otir
knowledge of his peculiar fitness for the posi-
tion. The place would confer no honor upon
him not already enjoyet1—hc would rather
honor the placie.-neither could it be accepted
without some personal sacrifices on his part,
but these sacrifices, we believe,lie would wil-
lingly make for the good of his constituents,
the State and the cause of human Freedom.
While he would prove entirely acceptable to
our more ardent republican friends, he would
not be obnoxious to any portion of the more
conservative portions of olir people. And
from personal knowledge, we know that the
Administration would rather see the maddest
abolitionist that ever went roaring through
the land, enter the Senate from Connecticut,
than the old "Ironsides Senator.” If our
friends doubt this, let our nomination be sec-
ond.ed..a.nd such a bowl as will go up from the
Administration kennels all over the State.
and all over the land, will verify our asser-
tions. The cause so dear to every free man
in the free North, could be placed in no safer
peter,” would make Douglass & Co. quake so
effectually, as the appearance on the floor of
‘the Senate of the much abused “nutmeg Sen-
ator.” Mr. Smith has the mental and the
physical ability to defend himself, and the
cause so near his heart, frdln any assault the
adversaries of Human Freedom may make,
and Connecticut could do herself no 8«l7°B.€er
service or honor than in conferring the ap-
pointmenlfupon him.
We know that it is usual in such cases to
urge the claims of the ,different sections of
the State, but on this score -we choose to bring
no argument, although much might. be said in
justification of the claims of Fairlie-ld County.
At a crisis like the present, we prefer to give
over any such minor considerations, and unite
heartily upon the man who, above all others,
shall begouud MOST AVAILABLE and MOST FIT-
TING for the place, and for the occasion. This
man, as we have said before, we believe to be

American Senator, in the American Senate
Chamber, surrounded by the protecting aegis
of the Constitution, llendislily and murderous-
ly assaulted, and all because they dare‘ to
utter truths which our Southern brethren
themselves admit, and have themselves confes-
sed over and over again.
“Opposition to tyrants is obedience to
God,” and our Southern friends will find that
they have now kindled a flame of indigna-
tion which will never brook tt similar out-
rage. Freedom of speech, and the freedom
of the press we must have, will have, and if
the laws of the country are too weal: to se-
cure them to us, or our rulers too corrupt to

North shoulder his musket and defend his

The most serious apprehensions exist con-
cerning the fate of the Free State’ men of
Lawrence. The Administration having placed
the U. S. troops at the service of the Border
Ruliiaiis, they have marched to the city, and
are deterini.r_ied on cramming" the odious, en-
actments .of this bogus Legislature down the
ed for the “Gas Company,” and that til
of subscriptions for the Capital Stock will be
opened in both , this place and South Norwalk,
on Wednesday, the 4th proximo. We have
been much pleased at the entire unanimity
with which this enterprise has been thus far
carried forward, and we trust the same good
feeling will continue to the end.
As stock in nearly every Gas Co., in the
country is held at a. large premium, we sup-
pose thet-egiil be but little difficulty in filling
up the required amount, but we would earn-
estly recommend that every consumer, if pos-
sible, should become a stockholder even if not
for more than fifty dollars, as we believe that
L
both consumers and the company, and that it
will ensure a good quality of gas, and at rea-
sonable prices. ,
We learn that the prospects for a. large num-
ber of consumers (and some of them for a large
amount) is' very flattering and it only needs
one more united effort to have our factories,
stores, churches and dwellings lit with gas on
the first of September next.
