Mr. Turnbull's fatal wound is abowie-knife stab in the left breast, which, the doctors say, leaves ho chance of nis recovery,' although he is not yet dead. ' Mr. Lurty had his leg broken by a shot which he received in it, and he was also wounded in the neck with' a bowie-knife; but he is not considered in any danger, Mr. Turnbull has since died-of his wounds. . v THE DOUGLAS KEP0ET.. The New York papers contain the following abstract of the Report made by Mr. Douglas, on J une 30, relative to "Kansas: Mr. Dauglas, from the Comtnittee on Territories, to which was referred the various bills relative- to affairs ip. Kansas, made a Voluminous report onj the subject.

They shall take a census of all the voters in the Territory,- and "make a fairapportionment of Delegates, to be selected by each county, to form a Constitution and in stitute a government. When the ap portionment shall be made, the Com missioners are to remain in session every day except Sunday, at the place most convenient for the inhabitants' of said Territory, to hear all complaints, examine witnesses, and correct all errors in said list of voters, which list shall be previously printed and gene rally circulated through the Territory, and posted in at least three of the most public places of each election district; and, so soon as all the errors have been thus corrected in' said lists, the Com missioners are requested to cause a corrected list of the legal voters to be printed, and copies furnished to each Judge of election, to be 'put up at the places of voting, and circulated hi every county in the-Terntory before the day of election no person to be allowed o vote wnose name ao s not appear on the list as a legal voter; the elec tion for Delegates to take place on the day of the Presidential election, and the Convention, to .assemble on the first Monday in December to decide first, whether it be expedient for Kansas to come into the Union at-that time. and if so decided, to proceed to form a constitution and State Government, which shall be of republican form. Kansas then to be admitted under such constitution on aa equal footing with the original States. The bill provides further that no law shall be" passed in the Territory infringing the liberty of speech or ot the press, or the right of the people to bears arms, &c. It also provides punishment for illegal voting, or fraud and violence at electionsand authorizes the use of the military for that purpose.
