KioKAroo CRY, X. T., Dec. II, 1855.
Being once more at our posts, and having
laid aside our rifles TO again resume the pen
and the labors appertaining thereto, we will
give brief history ofthe late war, which.
from the omincus and lowering appearance
Of the commencement, bid fair to be one tf
no short duration as The enemy pretended 10

fanaticism of the north, which viii also re-
ccivs check at home, when conservative
northern men learn that prior 10 The call Of
Governor Shannon for men 10 arrest and
put down the rioting of goodly number Of
lawless vagnbonds, that in every instance
the depredations committed were by men
who had received assistance either directly
or indirectly from Eastern Emigrant Aid
Societies, but as the laws Of the Territory
have been enforced we will leave them in
the hands of the different Sherlff's, where
they are before The writing of this article.
THE WAR.
Immediately upon the reception Of the call
for Troops from the Governor, the Pro-
slavery men of the northern division Of Kan
sas militia could be seen promptly hurrying
toward Leccmpton the point of rendezvous,
in squads Of from five 10 twenty; at some
points, such as Doniphan, Atchison and Te-
cumseh, companies were formed. armed,
equipped, and dispatched within "a hours.
The requisition on the southern portion Of
the Territory was met with the same promp-
titude, and in five days the Governor found
himself at the head Of 1900 men (the larger
portion being encamped on the Wakarusa
ready and willing to assist him in sustain.
ing tie laws of the Territory.
On Wednesday the 9th day OF December
the war began in earnest; out.posts were
established on all sides of Lawrence, pris-
oners were taken and picket guards drove
in. The rarriorS of Lawrence perceivina
that talk about Sharp's Rifles did not intim-
idate pro-slavery men, set to work at fortify.
ing their town, but before it was finished
their officers proposed to surrender, which
was assented to by all, and communication
was opened with Gov. Shannon, who in.
formed them upon what terms they could
have peace, which they thought too hard
and preparations were being made TO march
the troops from their camp and invest the
place, when another truce was asked for and
granted, which ended in the surrcder of the
brapes, after Icing, shutting, and begging
some three days.
THE PEACE.
After. the treaty was signed by the peo.
pie of Lawrence, swearing allegiance 10 the
proper constituted authorities of this Terri.
tory, the army was ordered home by the
Governor, there to be disbanded.
Before closing this hurled and meagre re-
port we consider it our duty to congratulate
the pro-slavory party upon the prompt and
efficient manner which they rushed TO arms
upon the call from the Governor. We con.
graduate the Generals and other officers
upon their having such men TO command,
and the men for their cheerful compliance
and prompt execution of all orders.
We are well aware that the harness Of
the soldier sits heavy upon the citizens
. shoulders who have been as free as the
bird of iove (the glorious Eagle), therefore
we again say that the commanding officers
should feel especially nattercd by the SOL
dier-ibe bearing and attitude of the Kansas
Militia.
FIRE.
The law office of a. G. Boyd was dis
covered to be on fire last evening between
the hours of six and eight o'clock. The in
tense heat from the former caused the drug
store Of DR.. E. M. McComas 10 be consum-
ed, and would also have destroyed the house
occupied by Dennis, Lewis s. Co., had moi
the exertions of the citizens stayed the pro.
gress Of the flames.
