outh is a unit, public opinion in the North appears to be settling down into a determination to support the war measures of the Lincoln Administration. Among the journals which still resist the tremendous pressure of fanaticism, and denounce the insane policy of the coercionists, the Bulletin mentions the Bangor Union, and the Argus, Maine; the New York Daily News and New York Day Book, and the Greensburg (Pa.) Democrat. We believe the Boston Courier might be added to the list, and perhaps Medary's paper, the Crisis, in Ohio. Of course the opposition of these journals is utterly incapable of checking or modifying the war current in the North. Nothing can do that but some terrible reverse to the Northern arms. Nothing but downright force and physical terror can achieve a moral triumph over the brutal instincts of fanaticism. The N. O. Crescent, referring to an article in the Toronto (Canada) Leader, observes: The Leader says it is too late now for the North to adopt the only

e of the square, obliging him to walk — dressed as he was — at a sharp trot, in order to keep clear of the bayonet, which the boy held in dangerous proximity to his body. The wiggling gait of the portly dignitary, and the ludicrous contrast between captive and capturer, were long afterwards described by all who saw them. as one of the most ludicrous of Kansas incidents. When Ransom reached the place appointed for him, See what we sons of Freedom can do, old fellow! said the boy. Governor Medary ordered down four companies of United States dragoons; called out four bodies of militia, consisting chiefly of invaders and pro-slavery settlers; the Missourians began to assemble on the borders; every thing gave promise of a renewed civil war; when, unexpectedly, the aspect of affairs changed by the recall of the troops by order of the Cabinet, and the successful attack, on a Missouri force, by a party of Free State men, led by Captain Snyder, the blacksmith, whose name is inseparabl

er. Previously letters had been received here stating that Montgomery's force amounts to 500 men, with plenty of arms, ammunition and other material and that from time to time warlike supply have been received from the Northwest. They also say the demand to adjourn the land sales would be resorted to a mere pretext for raising an armed force, and that the real effect of this lawless organization is a raid, on the frontiers of Missouri, then on Arkansas and Western Texas, to avenge the punishment of abolition emissaries. It appears that Gov. Medary, now here, is well posted with regard to Montgomery's plans and doings, and orders will be forthwith dispatched to Kansas, giving the Federal troops such points as will be most necessary for the protection of the people and the Land Offices, as well as the public property. Fort Scott has been named as one of the points likely to be invaded. It is reported that Montgomery assumes the name of an abolitionist in full meaning.

The Governor of Missouri had taken prompt steps to protect his citizens on the Kansas border. A meeting at Leavenworth, K. T., had called on Gov. Medary, the Territorial Governor, for protection. The latest advices from Kansas City, Mo., say that Dr. Massey, who left Fort Scott on Tuesday, pronounces the report of the burning there to be untrue. Five men had been murdered by Montgomery,

ne answer to the question, what shall be done with him and his associates? No rose-water application will suffice to cure the evils of which he is the author or instigator. He should be arrested, tried, and hanged, with all possible dispatch, and his band should be extirpated as if they were a pack of wolves. The work of bringing traitors to the gallows may as well be commenced at once, and there is none who merit that fate more richly than Montgomery and his Kansas border-ruffians. Governor Medary should proceed without delay to bring the blood-stained-robber gang to justice, either through the instrumentality of the Territorial militia or through the instrumentality of such means as the Federal Government shall place at his disposal. If they once cross the Missouri line, it will be too late for him to act.--In that contingency Missouri will permit no power, Territorial or Federal, to right her wrongs. We tell all whom it may concern, that a foray in Missouri by these Montgomer

om Leavenworth, K. T., dated Nov. 26th, says: Private letters from Lawrence give another account of an interview of Secretary Beebe with Montgomery. The writers say that Beebe found Montgomery trying a man named McDonald for an alleged offence in favoring the execution of the fugitive slave law. At the solicitation of Mr. Beebe he was set free. On being expostulated with, Montgomery is reported as having defied the power of the Territorial and Federal governments. Gen. Harney and Gov. Medary arrived at the Fort this morning, and will leave for Southern Kansas to-morrow, with one hundred dragoons and two pieces of artillery. Capt. Bain, in command of a body of troops, started from Fort Riley for the same destination to rendezvous at Mound City, sixteen miles from the Missouri State line. Secrecy is preserved by the officials in regard to their plan of operations. Montgomery, it is said, acknowledges the commission of the late murders, and stated that no fugitive slave could

Columbus, Ohio. --A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, to the Cincinnati Enquirer gives some particulars of the mobbing of Medary's Crisis office, in the former city, a few nights since. The mobbing took place about 11 o'clock at night. About one hu citizens, dressed in army overcoats, were engaged in the cowardly affair. During the riot at the office of one of Mr. Medary's daughters, Mrs. Wilson, passed through the crowd, took the subscription books, and was making off with them, when a wagainst the Enquirer.

He met with a reception that most have compensated him for the destructe American Hotel, where he was welcomed by Judge Thurman in a speech that had the ring of the true metal. The reply of Mr. Medary was in excellent taste, and had a happy effect in quieting the excited passions of his indignant friends. A meeting wi

A Chapter in history. A correspondent of Medary's Crisis, of Columbus, Ohio, revives the reminiscence that in 1863, on the purchase of Louisiana, the following resolution was adopted by the Legislature of Massachusetts: "Resolved, That the annexation of Louisiana to the Union transcends the constitutional power of the Government of the United States. It forms a new Confederacy, to which the States united by the former compact are not bound to adhere." "The Government is here pronounced a compact between the States, and from it the right of secession or withdrawal for just cause results as a necessary logical deduction." In 1811, on the bill for the admission of Louisiana as a State, Josiah Quincy, Br., said and after being called to order committed his remarks of writing: "If this bill pass it is my deliberate opinion that it is a virtual dissolution of the Union, and that it will free the States from their moral obligations — And as it will be the night o

Arraigning the Radicals. --Gov. Medary of the Columbus (Ohio) Crisis, is battling boldly with the Abolition Administration in reference to the war in a late number of his paper he says: In the latest news from Washington in the Republican papers we find this, viz: It has leaked out that official reports put the Union loss at Chancellorsville, in killed, wounded, and missing, at 28,000, 30,000 at Fredericksburg, and 25,000 at Gettysburg. These appalling agrees tell plainly what has become of the grand army of the winter of 1862. We can't bring back the lost, but we can, as Christians and patriots, make an effort before God and man to save a remnant of what is left. Again, in speaking of Lincoln's late call for 500,000 more troops, he asks: "Where are the million and three quarters of 'loyalists'--'war men.' --men for the Union with or without conditions — men fat and berated with contracts — men of the oath bound Congress, who cried for war? Are they ready to march

The Vallandigham fund. --A fund is being raised in Ohio, called the Vallandigham fund. A lady enclosing a $50 subscription to Gov. Medary, of the Crisis, accompanies it with the following: "For refusing to speak by permission of and within the limits of Order No. 38, signed by Ambrose Burnside, and choosing to speak by authority, as he expressed it, of Order. No. 1, the Constitution of the United States, signed by George Washington, Mr. Vallandigham is banished from his home and country. We yet hope he may return and receive the highest honors of the Republic."
