'i he mob resolved it-elf i ito a committee,
and resolved that if he and his colleague,
Mr. Dark, were found in the county at the'
end of three weeks, they sl.Oiild follow their,
pre.-s ami find a grave iu the waves of tin-I
Missouri. Mr. lark was ab-eiit :.t the
time, and is perhaps indebted to that fact,
for his ix mption from the -aine humilia
tioii visited on his associate. j
We scarcely know how to speak of these i
proceedings. That the Luminary may not
have been sufficiently pro-slaviry in its sen
timents for tht latitude and locality ( f ,
Dlatte county, seems to have been the head
and front of its offending;. Therefoie, it
was voted a nuisance and summarily ili '
posed of. The Luiuiuary was not an Abo-,
litionist paper, nor were its r.wners, Messrs-.!
Dark A; Patterson, 1'reesoih I s. One of
them Dark, we beiievi is the owner of.
slaves, and not at all likely to publish opin
ions which, while endangering the slave
propel ty of others, would also jeopard the
safety of bis own. Iiut the Luminary
spoke no hard and bitter words a;nii'-t (lie
emigrants to Kar.sus fro.n the North. It
did not call theiu ' hirelings'' and ' white
blavcs," bought up Mid sent out by North
ern capitalists to plant the standard . f I'r. e- 1
soilisin on the soil of Kan-a. It welcomed
all settlers wi;!i open arms and encouraged
emigration to the new Tenitorv from all
quarters, because its owners knew that the
rapid settlement of Kan-as by industrious
and thiilty i migrants would augment the
trade and advance the interests of the
bonli r towns and cities of Mi-ouri. Tor
this they were '' spotted," trii d by a self
constituted jury, f mud guilty, condemned,
and ordered to h-ave the State.
We think the l'l itte county peoph w hr-n
they come to rt fleet coolly on their com! net,
will be heartily n-hamc! of it. It is un
worthy the liberal spirit of the age ami un
becoming the ohivairie character of Mis-,
sourians; yet they are not so much to
blame for the affair as those who have in
stigated it.

As late as tho year H.'IO, there lived in

was so remarkable, as to win him the title
of the " Western Sampsou." lie knew
iiothiiii' of his birth or parentage, but suo-
nosed lie was bom in I'minnl. from whri...
10 ,v:is stoh u when a child, and carried to
l,e;,nd. His earliest recollections were
tho-e of boy hood in the latter country.
While yet a lad, he apprenticed himself
to a sea captain, for seveu years, iu pay for
a pa-sage to this country. On his arrival,
Li, time and services were Bold to a Mr.
Winston of Virginia, in whose services he

revolution. Di ing of an adventurous turn
' of mind, he sought and obtained permission

contest. Such was his strength ami per
sonal bravery, that no enemy could resist
him. He wielded n w-;rd, tho blade of
which was live feet iu length, as though it
had been a feather, and every one who
came in contact with him, paid the forfeit
of his life.
At Stony Point he was one of the "for-
orn hope " which was advanced to cutnwsy
ll,e nloillis and tlie n..tt In Minor (;ll.l.,.i.
i was the tir.-t man lo enter the works, At
! Uratnly w ine and Monmouth, lie cxhibiied
t. uio'st fearless bravery; nothing but his
; inability to write, prevented hi.s promotion
to a commissi jn. 'J ransferred to the South,

war, ho wa eiiea-jed in a contest which ex
hibited iu a striking manner, his self-conli-
ileiiee nini rouraio'.
Many nmedotes are t old of l'ranciseo,
illustrative of his immense strength and
persohal prowess. At CaUidcD, whero
in rcaclimg tor it, threw huuselt off lu

he 'ell from hi- horse, he mounted him ami
years ago, while lie was still living m JJuck
inghain county, Virginia.
One day while at work in his garden, ho
was aceo.-ted by a stranger, who rode up to
t he fence and inouired of him if he knew
' where a man by the mime of Francisco
lived
" V'ell, stranger, I don't know of any
other person by that name in these parts,
but myself.''
" Wei!, I reckon you ain't the man I
want. I want to find the great fighting man
I've heard tell . much about. The fellow
they say can whip all creation aud Kaintuck
tO bi"t.''
" I can't tell you stranger, where you'll
find that man ; I d-.u't know such a man,"
said l i anci-eo. resuuiini his work ns n hint.

Hut the K ntutkian was not to Le bluffed

" Look 'ei e, stranger," said he, returning
to the charge, " w hat might your given
name be?"
' My name is Peter Francisco, at your
Service."
" All '." returned the other. '' you're just
tho man I want to find," at the same time
riding inside tin- f.-i:co, he dismounted and
tied his animal a rough, ungainly, lndiau
pony to one of the posts.
