1UG1. MOBOCRACY. There arc two grand and distinctive features of society, order and disorder, law and mobocracy; and llic teiidency of every act of individuals or communities ia towards one or the other of these antagonistic conditions; there ib really no middle ground at first view there might seem to be; for every act bears its legitimate fruit.either govd or hod. From these premises, which have the eanciion of human reason and of the Divine Mind, the most important consequences naturally grow; and what at first may appear hatuilcss, or even justifiable, a closer examination will be found the reverse of these and most unfortunate in its results. In view of these things it becomes every one who desires good order in society and the sifety ol hi family, himself or his property, to be careful oi his own doings, in all things where theie is not a cleat ly defined certainty of being in the right, ior must men, who ate always liable to be swerved oi blinded by interest or selfishness, be the sole judges of their own rigiits or In countries there are mauv things which have a tendency to de-veloo the spirit of mobocracy.

How often.in the history of the bordcrs.liavt? we the history of the combination ot men into leagues called "Kegulators," "Committees of Safety" "Yigilants" and many other names which this class-of associations assume. Indeed, out whole border history is full of these organizations and their unlawful deeds. They usually commence on the plea of elf-defense, or some other apparent necessity growing out of the exigencies of the but almost invariably the first plea or object is speedily lost sight of, and what may have been designed as a blessing aud a bulwaik to defend our rights, becomes a monstrosity aud an engine of tyranny and oppression. It is safe to put down all 'attempts to take the law into their own hands by individuals or combinations of irvJivi duals, as dangerous and much to be feared, even though they rmy have th' appearance of justicfatid be designed to maintain aud defend the right. There area few exceptions to this rule, as where, in any given community.

tin-lawless have either a majority or so large a minority as to defeat the ends of justice and render the execution of the a nullity. A case of this Lind occurred in the early history of Ohio in and around Ross county, when-horse-thieves became so. numerous and the organization of villains so extensive, that no jury could be empanneled without having some secret aud unknown members of the gang among ihe twelve, aud thus by petjury was the law rendeied of no avail. The hones! portion of community had no recourse but to band together and shoot down every man caught stealing horses. In this way the nest was soon broken up.

We have in Kansas some organizations- for tho protection of settler, against the power of capital; league of to defend each other in their lest muuitd- inert tak-e advantage of the noed of set ad: deprive them of their-labors. This may be uccessay, it doubtless is to a great extent; but every. lovtr-of god order should see that these organizations go not one step, Ay, not one inch beyond their legitimate and needful use. We hear it reported that Montgomery-, notorious in, the southern, put of the State, is out on a niaraudiug expedition, and engaged in a general sy ll-tn of plunder. We have learned to distrust reports coming, through certain sources, and do not know whether this one is eutitled to credit; but presuming it to be true, doubtless' Montgomery justifies himself on the plea of retaliation.

He may have suffered much, for aught we know he may have had great injustice done him; but these things do not justify him in taking, the law mollis own hands and roboing others, because he has been robbed. Oar own. people may be tempted to remember ihe HrlyJliTstorj "Kansas, and feel like' "paying the'Bofder Ruffians lack -in their owe coin," now that numbers. ofLthem have turned traitors and arc' the frorernmentand-Uion burthisvynT not do. it anv ot our citizen ieet in enlisting and "going to the wars," all right; God speed every- one who shall take up arms in the glorious cause of Iris country.

But let "all -things done in older," that (ruth, justice and, right be not blamed or give ground of Our republic is now amost unhappy spectacle of what results fiom the spirit 1 t. great aouiiieraireDeiiion is oniy a ra on large scale. It had its' beginnings in small way. Persons accused of being "abolitionists" were seized by smaller mobs and hung or burned. Men had quarrels and fell upon each other with deadly weapons to wipe out in blood real or imaginary insult.

Everv where in the South there was a disposition on the part of the people to "lake the law into their own hand," and deal out justice or wrath as seeing ed to them good. The result is what we see, -and what might have been ex pected and foretold from the beginning as a probable and legitimate result of the mobocratic spirit aud practice of those Slates. Our own Slate has had a fearful bap tism of blood from this same source. Sometimes under color of legal forms. and at others entirely without the rpale of law, bauds of wicked men, with unholy purposes at heart, have committed depredations and outrages at which Humanity summers, lliese tilings nave left their traces, winch are yet visible; ami it is necessary for law abidiu" citi reus to well this point, lest tho spirit of lawlessness take some form and ovet step proper bounds'.

The disposition ever found, should be frowned down Private and public grievances can' be redressed by a bolter and safer; prpec dure. Once the restraints are thrown; otT, aud there is no felling, where the-end will Let Kansas become as' noted for order as she has been for disorder and ruffianism. i THRILLING ORIGINAL SI ORY. About the first of September, as an nounccd in our we design to commence the publication bf'a must thrilling romance, enlitl-d, or The Double A Record of the Great Rebellion." This intensely interesting storyillus-trates in glowing colors, while it is yet true to the recoul, the double dealings, wicked purposes, and deep-laTd schemes. of the designing nieu who have inaugurated the gieat rebellion for the destruction of our government.

The author discloses to the miud of the reader the secret springs of treason, and lays open to view the dark plotlings of ihu leading Bctors in the rebellion. The deep duplicity of men iu high portions of honor and trust in the goverumeni is depicted in a most unenviable liht, and the corruption treacheiy ol ambitious men, who have sought to overthrow the Constitution, the government founded 'upon it, for their own political aggraadizement.Jire nios. vividly portrayed.
