From Kansas.

The Lawrence Herald OF freedom,
the leading free state paper of Kansas,
the office of which was demolished by
the pro-slavery mob, and its editor
made treason prisoner by the gov
eminent officials-has' again made it's
appearance. Mrs. Brown, the wife of
the editor, begged means at the East
to re-establish it, and. after six months
suspension, it was issued, enlarged
and improved, on the first day of Nov.
The Herald says -" Emigrants are
arriving daily, and in large numbers,
by the way of the Missouri river. We
hear of no late violence along the river,
and believe that none exists, and that
persons will be perfectly secure in
travelling in small numbers in Kansas
if they keep silent on the exciting is
sues of the day. The late excitement
has diminished the emigration of fami-
lies, and has hurried forward the larger
class of young men and edventurers."
We learn by letter to the st. Louis
Republican, dated Wesport, Oct. Goth,
that Governor Geary had arrested
several of the ringleaders of the ma
rauding parties in the vicinity of Osa-
watomie. The grand jury had found
true bills of Indictment against over
80 persons for murder in the first de-
gree. The Kansas Legislature is to
meet on the second Monday in Janua-
ry. Active preparations are being
made for the accommodation of men,
bcrs and visitors at Lccompton.
The Free State prisoners at Lecomp-
ton have published an address to the
American people, in which they state
they arc confined in small loathsome
prisonsvFith two cannons in front of
it under guard of militia recently en-
listed, and that they are unable to pro-
cure medical assistance or sufficient
food or clothing. Mr.. Bowlcs, a Free
State man from Missouri, has died
since his arrest, and it is feared that
several others can survive but few
days unless relieved. The address is
signed by eighty-one of the prisoners,
formerly belonging to Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Iowa.
Polls were recently opened for "Con-
vention or :" No Convention" Con-
vention carried. According to law,
(see Kansas Statutes, chapter Is,
pages 1929 the judges of elections
make out the returns, as to the vote
on Convention, and report them to the
next Legislature, which is required to
make all necessary provisions" for
electing members to Convention
which shall form a Constitution with
which Kansas is to seek admission
into the Union as State.
! Lady Byron (the widow of the poet)
has transmitted subscription Of R65
toward the relief of the suffering in
Kansas, through Mrs. Stowe. In q
note to that lady, the giver desires
that the money shall not be applied to
the purpose of providing arms.
Nearly 200 cases of clothing, includ-
ing most all that had been furnished
in New England, have been forward
ed from Boston to Kansas. Thirty
bales had been distributed in Lawrence
at the last accounts, and sixty more
were close at hand.

TUESDAY, Aug. 26-6 M.
The stock market continues in very unsettled
condition. At the first board the operations in the
leading stocks were to some extent, but in large
lots, and on buyers and sellers option showing that
the business of the street is confined to the Board of
Brokers, and that there Is no outside absorption.
The market is in very fevelish state. Psices
move up fraction one day and down u fraction the
next, without any particular cause but the bears,
who hold their line steadily, without regard to the
slight fluctuations, find that time works in their
favor and that the addition of interest to their
short contracts gives them the advantage over
their opponents The season is decidedly against the
bull interest Between this and the lst of November
