--The
Van Buren (Ark.) Press, of the 16th inst., upon what authority is not mentioned, says:
‘
"
Gen. McCulloch has taken up the line of march for 'bleeding
Kansas.' The sacking and burning of
Osceola, and the pillaging of houses occupied only by defenceless women and children, by that immaculate purity Jim Lane, has made forbearance no longer a virtue.
Kansas, thy 'sins are as the sands of the sea shore'--'oft would we have gathered thee, as when gathereth her brood, but ya would not,' That desolation that the sword and fire only can bring is now upon thee; the decree is gone out, and thou, mighty in iniquity, art --thy dying walls, and the wild howlings of hungry wolves, shall be thy only funeral dirge. 'Surely the way of the transgressor is hard. '"
