Yesterday Deputy Marshal Fain came down 70
Lawrence aud attempted TO arrest Capt. aIker.
The captain. you are aware has charge OF his com
psry of militia here, and is neither IN position 10
conceal him,ef or run away. Among 0'h'r induce
rnents to euroll this m'litia company It Is s'a'e1
that Gov Geary gave assurance thdt the "" 'e'-
and u.en should BE- free from su' arrest. ine
Flint Lieutenant Of this militia company, Nf. liar
yey (te Col. Harvey Of September notorietJ) was
slso wanted BY the accommodating Deputy Marshal.
Cast Walker told Faim that under the cIrcnm-
stances, he could not go; bu, added that Il he
would bring Gov. Geary, or If he sent h'' orders
for bis (Walkers) arrest, that be would sub
init Faim. Is is usual with him, under

make the arrests. The Dragons have been or
d.red to assist ali these officers III making arrests
and they &C. for the courts, not the Governor.
That Gov. Geary has promised these persons eX
eppgiOn from such arrest, there can be h'tle
6oub'. a doubt may be raised, however, az TO
boa far be had any right TO DO 50. Again. he is
rot here at present, but is in the south part of the
Territory, hunting Bord, Rafia = and cat hing
Free State men, lie ma; be back to-rnOrrOv, or
not for week; and meanwhile, If the Marsha!
Intends to proceed with what he has undertaken,
very pretty fuss may be again got up. As
Donaldson and bis satellites ac IN he hands of the
Border Ruffians, there can be- lttla doubt but thg
is a deliberate aud premedi'aed scheme. THIS
eamc Fam has been the bird of evil omen that
has croaked at the Inauguration of more tina. one
piece of rascality. Indeed, can see the evidences
of further mischief brewing, although it IS lnpos5
bic 10 conjecture whether it aill assume warike
aspect, or be limited, at present, to legal persecu
ton. 1t is amusing to bear the Pro-Slavery men
talk. They have heon doing violence to their feel

The offensive by systematic arrests a'd legal

arrested. SIX hundred names reported to be
on these Iists already. livery Free-Stlie IGiu
whose head has been seen above the wild current Of
Kansas politics or who may have been uuder arms
for his own defense or that of the community in
which he lives, is to be arrested Intiulidatcd By
this talk and these threats, some talk Of leaving
the Territory, which would be exactly what these
Fufians want. Z hc idea that the Pro-Slavery men
have been "doipg violence to their feelings e.
Gently, may lcOk odd enough, and yet hey think

Etate prisoners for six weeks past, whom they
have treated inhuman.; they have been allowed

Che Missouri River, and Free-State men have there
Teen placed under tattoo; Northern cingrantS have
been robbed, made prisoners and insul'cd on their
entrance to the Territory. These are pretty fair
specimens of the moderate. holding of policy, and
If this mi d despoism is to be superseded 10y amorc
active form of Border RuthauiSn, you uiay haze
dim appreciation Of what is i'll store for u.s. The
fact IT, the enterprising and elastic spirit OF t0c
Free State settlers improves every moment of the
mutilated time allotted TO them for improy ements

Houses have been springng up rapidly, aud im-
proyements on claims carried forward. Every one
Of these indications OF taking deeper root, is
watched by the Pro-Sayery men with the most re-
vepgeiul feelings. Every Free-S;ate emieraut that
crosses the Northern frontier is regarded as smother
obstacle that must be removed, ere the institution
can be safely planted. Although they have had
every thing their own way, the Border Ruiians are
getting tired of quiet in Kansas
The Court at LecOmpton has at last succeeded in
making conviction. A hian named Hcnry has
been convicted Of n.anslsughtcr or, rather, an AS
