Tlio news of (ioc, Shiiiinun' iiitr-mloJ
vUit to I .nwrciico caused ewry variety of
opinion find comment nmon;- llic citizen.
Sumo indulged lii.pcs of Ii'h successful iii'
Icrfe-reiico between litem nnd tliu mob, but

tlio Atcliisoninna a (iuv. .Sli'innoii could in
nny way nfToril ilu-m rvli'T. Still, all nc
quicscedclu'oi fully in tlio gi-neml order is
sued by tlio Commander-in-Chief fur the
)tirpoo of securing tlio utmost decorum and
ijitict during tliu visit.
Many did not ovon believe that ho would
coiue. Among thoso who Lad expressed
the greatest distrust of tlio Governor and
bin motive, win Col. Lane, who cmplinticnl
ly declared, on Iho basis of personal acquain
tance, that he was destitute- both of strength
nnd honesty. As the morning ndvnuccd,
tlio mo-t anxious observation was maintain
ed of tlio Franklin road, in watch for Un
expected messenger. And as a "solitary
horseman" wag finally seen nppronehing nt
a brihk gallop, the feeling of expectation be
came almost painful.
This horseman, on being cscoitcd into
town, proved lo bo the expected messenger.
Ha was greeted by some of our oQiecra its
Col. Kenrnpy, anil was immediately conduct
ed into tho presence of iho Commander-in-Chief,
to whom lie delivered n written com
munication from Gov. Shannon, to the if
feet that tho latter awaited tlio Committee
cf escort nt Franklin. Tho Committee,
tinder the direction of (ien. G. P. Lowry,
bad for some time been in readiness, and
the order was at once ".iven to mount,
On arriving at Franklin, tho gentlemen
of tho escort wci severally introduced to
tho O'ovcrnor, and thu lattor expressed his
Ti:udine8S to proceed. Col. Boone and Col.
Slrickler of Missouri, accompanied him in
his carriage, and Col. Kearney rode by its
side. . The party was -met nbout half a
mile from Lawrence by Gen. Robinson and
Col. Lane, with a suitable retinue, and con
ducted into tho town.
' Tho conference continued till night.
'"Tho visitor were the guests of ficii. lob
inson, with whom they dined. The points
of dillbrence between the people of the Ter
ritory 'and tile Executive- wcro -severally dis
cussed with apparent satisfaction on both
aides. The Governor expressed entire
confidence in tho people, on receiving a 'true

Itjnrncd tlic death of Judge barber, and ex
pressed the most profound regret, lie ad
mitted the law less character of the force as
sembled at tlio Wakarusa ford, and expres
sed great apprehension as to bis power to
c'Mitrut them, lie trusted, however, that
they aiight lieontrolled until tho arrival of
the United States troops from Ft. Leaven
worth. '
' These apprehensions wero shared by Col.
ttouito a resident .of Weetport,' who had
jtccunrpauied the Governor into 'tlio Terri
tory fur the purpose .of jiidiugliim in res-
ttuiining iho invaden. This grtillcmnn is

icfwactcr of Lis ancestor. Ilo is a gentle--uiati
highly respected by all ; and iVs not
Uiesitate to condemn in the scv!rt hmgitnge
flie outrnges of tho Atolii-owiine.
As v,eying drct- eac, ai wa plain to
(jcoinitifttlho timu for confi-ronco was in
AUfficicUt. It was not thought best for the
tpnrfy tg reroa'tt JuriBg tho night ; imd it
Vas finally agreed that they should return
io Franklin and reprat the visit in the mom-
ing. Tho Governor promi-cJ to b-- in Law
icnco again' precisely ut 8 o'clock; and
Lercupon, and with the mol cordial adieus,
lie took his Ieavo.
The character of tho Council in the even
ing was essentially modified by his visit.
The Governor had left a memorandum of
the points which thcpcoplo of Kansa, as
represented by those assembled in Law
rcuce.vere expected to guarantee, and of
Hhosc lie was willing to guarantee himself.
The idea of taking from tho citizens their
oraAaJ long since been abandoned ; and
the only remaining prominent point was

Tun Co i-mor returned thi, mo iling,
though so late that it gave rise lo strong
sn-p:cion ilint he was himself a prisoner I
the Missouri mob. In company with Col
llooiic he is now in conference iih Gen
Kobinson and C I. Lnne.
hvle Klnioro and Sheriff Jones are nlo
in town. The former came on private busi
ness. I Io does not entirely justify the
Missouri inub, nor entirely endnnn it, as
one would expect a United Status Justice to
do.
Sheriff Jones is in n towering passion
cause ho was challenged by our picquet
guard (who did not know him) and escort
ed in. Ho swears ho will enter nnd depart
at all tunes as ho pleasos. Peis inully, Mr.
Jones is a gentleman, though too rubid
Pro-Slavery man to be a safe ofliccriu Kan
sas It is evident that he is greatly displeas
ed at the attitude of Gov. Shannon ; nnd
ho declares to me that if the latter made tho
contemplated terms with tho poople, he
would at once resign his office. This would
iloultless bo a measure of great wisdom.
Uo was nccoinpanicd by Capt.Shnw of tho
b. sieging force ; nnd received neither insult
nor threat from citizens.
Lr.st night our horse patrol, under Gen.
IMUhr, Adjutant to Gen. Kobinson. cap
lured 'two of the enemy's mounted guard,
who, admitting tho possession of one of our
stolen horses, wcro brought into camp. Af
ter being examined, this morning, they were
discharged and sent back under escort, with
a pledge to return the horse.
Tho same patrol met a larger parly of
the enemy s horso guard, which, nfter
mutual challenge, wheeled to the right and
rodo of. ' -
The aspect of affairs is now dvciJediy
pacific in its character. Tho mob must
either fight expressly against the Governor,
or go home. We still wait whh some im
patience for the United S'ates troops, w Licit
oii'dit sooner to hnve been here.
Marbmges im Sak Francisco. "And
ihere shall be marrying nnd giving in mar
riage," says Holy Writ, and the fact is ap
parent by the subjoined tabular statistics
furnished by the San Francisco Herald :
It is nothing less than a complete list of
all the marriages that have taken place in
San Francisco county during the year 1855.
It appears thero Lave been, during this
time, 207 marriages. Assuming tho pop
ulation of tho city to be 50,000, it gives a
wedding for 87 81-100 persons in the place
all things considered n very fair propor
tion, nil must admit. "There is a time for
all lliiugs," sailh the proverb, hut our peo
ple seem to have taken all limes for this.
The marriages are pretty equally distribu
ted, in all the months of the year; but
April the most bcnu'ifnl nifmth of our
siiiii2 season stands pre-r miialit, while
bleak January ranks lowest in ihe scale.

The lust work, and first eontinueus tnle of this
brilliant and fascinating authoress, "Ruth Hall,"
achieved a success unexampled lu the annnls ol
letters. In the lanuunire of a leading periodical, it
"created a more profound sensation lliun any
which hoi been issued during a quarter ol a cen
tury." lint it is unnecessary to allude lo the merits
of "Ruth Hall." Judging" from Ihe number of
copies of it wo have sold, we juihre that every body
in the United Stare, baa read it. Aa respect, the
work we have now in prms, Itosa Class, we can
only say lhat we regaid it as, in every reip-ct, a
greater, better work ; und are confident it will net
only sustain, but even inermne the reputation of ils
distinguished oniliorrc We have reasons for
thinking "Hose Clark" will make s greater Sensa
tion than did "P.-Hh flail."
It will form nn elc?inl !2mo volume of over
