leading men of the South, and hence the action
of the Legislatures of Texas and Georgia, and
nearly the entire South in sending men and
money TO Kansas, to "subdue' the devoted
Free State men, and drive them from their
homes.

REVIEW OF THE CAMPAIGN.


LAWRENCE, X. T., Aug. II, 1856.
This has been busy week in Lawrence, and
rather an encouraging one To the freemen all
through the State. A Vigilance Committee has
been formed, comprising all the citizens Of the
Territory, and extending into all the settlements Of
any consequence.
Hostties we're commenced by body Of Ge0rgi-
anr in the neighborhoOd Of PCtawssamie Greek,
going to mans house and committing q rape on
bis wife and daughter during his absence at Kansas
City. The neighbors assembled, highly excited
determined on instant revenge. They were not
sufficiently itroDg to storm the stronghold in which
the villains were fortified, it being q block. house.
and they not in possession Of artillery. The peO-
pie sent TO Lawrence for assistance, but Lawrence
was likewise destitute Of the requisite artillery
"Col. CoOk, however, determined TO have some;
and, as if TO give him q chance, the Georgians at
Franklin commenced unwOnted depredatOns upon
the settlers brutaly numbering Major Hoyt of this
place, mashiDg his head and manslng bis body in
most shocking manner, for the purpose, it is
thought, Of preventing his corpse from being rec
ognized. After mutlating his body in this way
they buried it, and after bis friends found il out
they bad it disinterred, recognized and re-buried.
In the mean time, however, . body of tAe Law.
rence men had gone over TO the assistance of the
people at Potaw atamie without waiting for artil.
Iery. At their appearance before the enemy's
