He builtbimselfa house in the spring, #I" fenced in about twenty acres, planted it in 8P wheat and corn, but the crops failed, and himself and children were, he said, " com- m polled to live on boiled greens and weeds? r.u sometimes a little brand or shorts. In this way wo rubbed on until harvest." His m children were now all taken sick with the e" measles, and he himself prostrated with fel the typhoid fever. For two weeks there was little hope of his recovery, and ho was persuaded to give his two eldest daughters to a neighbor, who promised to care for . them. They would not receive the children, 11 however, until deeds of gift were given to them. lie was now left alone, with one small m eick child, and had It not been for the kind- . f ness of a poor neighbor, he would have per- " ished from hunger and neglect, and as it J" was, this child, the last one of his family re- ? maining to him, died. He was determined ^ to escape from the valley, but was unable, on account of health and means, to accoinfdish his purpose. He returned to his 1,1 louse, but was too unwell to cook his own ' * victuals, and a Scotch woman came and mixed tip a little shorts and water and baked it, as lie says, as solid ns ever you saw bricks, and lie had to uet a hatchet tr? <?m 1 T* nn it to piece*. he On this and two quart* of buttermilk lie ^ lived two week*. lie now found that Lis wife was not dead, as wa? told him, but n R|( prisoner closely guarded. He contrived (f,, means for her escape, Attu hid her at ihe pn house of a friend until he could make ar- to rnngement* for leaving. By trading off his H|j farin for a wagon and two mules, the means were procured for conveying his family out of the Territory. He first endeavored to escape by trave|jng North, but was intercep- wli ted by a hand of Brigham's minions, who Yc styled themselves M destroying angels," and mr had it not been for a band of passing Cali- of fomians. he would have been iol>bed of eve no rything ho possessed. After many difflcul dn ties and dangers he escaped by a southern rrx road to California, not until he had been ?l> despoiled by the Indians of nearly all his pr< provisions.

I Kansas.?We make the following ex- i tracts from the letter of ti friend residing at 8 Leavenworth City, K. T.: 44 Wo have quite an exciting time here in { Kansas. In the first place, some ten days j ago, the Freo Stato men around Fort Scott, i (which is in the southern portion of Kansas,) becamo very troublesome. The pro slavery ( men sent for the U. S. Marshal, to come and ( take care of some prisoners. lie went and i took tlieni, but the Free State men fired up- i on liiin, and, it is currently reported, killed 1 the Marshal and aeve.nl of his men, and re- ! took the prisoners. The Free Stato men ] then went to ditlerent points, and in a very i short time collected several hundred men. ? The Marshal, seeing the Fort would bo at- * tacked, sent to this place for U. S. troops, n? * uv-n. mriitjy Maiieu iuur companies to lliat point immediately. ? "Jim Lane, hearing of iho disturbances, v was in Lawrence. He rose at 12 o'clock at n night, had the cannon tired several times, to " alarm the pcoplo, who rushed to a place ( whero the drum was boating. Hy next t! morning Lano was ready to march to the a scat of war. ? " We have heard several reports fiorn Fort j Scott within the last three or four days. We r heard that Lano had tired upon the troops, killing sonic eight or ten. (Jpon hearing this, there were sixteen moro companies or- || dered to that point from this place. q " Lane has placed himself in rather an ? awkward position. If they do get hold of t him, they will make quick work with him c with a chord around his neck. Gen. liar- ? ney has gone to Fort Scott ir. person, and if he opens Bra^g'* battery npon Lane, I think f he will have to up ; ? s^ort order. 44 A# soon as the Free Slate men heard fbis news, they started out and visited ereh town and took by forco all the arms held by the ' pro slavery men. They have the whole Tor- * lilorv UOW il lh<-ir nwn liowwl. '? . ? ?I A Shanghai Guinka.?8. 8. M., at Fair r Play, Pic-kens District, S.
