FIFTEEN MORE FREE-STATE MEN con-
DEMNED TO WEAR BALL AND CHAIN.

From Our Special Correspondent
LAWRENCE, X. T., Nov. III, 1856.
The most of last week was consumed in the
Court of Judge LecOmpte, at Lecompton, in
tIyrg other Fl teen Free-State men for shooting
with intent to kill, &c" and at it's close they
were found guilty. They have been sentenced 70
five years Imprisonment in the penltentiary, or to
hard labor with the chain end ball attached. Thus
it will be seen that the PrOSlavery men intend that
the sting of their legal persecution shall be felt
shall give the names of those who thus left for
punishment when the court adjourps; but there are
so many charges, movements for new trials, &C.,
that prefer waiting until the matter shall be de-
cided in reference to the particular cases. Those
who remain quietly at home in the Eastern States,
hatt.rDg themselves that they live in a republican
country, may find it difficult to realize the scenes
of tyranny now enacted in Kansas The question
is, Will the Prostate people allow them 20 be
dragged to such igDominous imprisonment Will
they permit their friends thus to be abased for do
ing what they have all resolved to do. The gen
eral voice is, "No! no! they must not-and shall
not" But the Border -Ruffian power, and the
Federal power, hold them in their iron grasp.
Will they suffer Alb, well, we will see.
Judge Catos Court convened at Tecumseh yes
teIday but nothing save prelimiDares occupied i.s
attention.
The Land Office opened for preamption q.
Lecompton. Before the land comes in the marke.
the land sales will be advertised. Until i. is offered
at auction under the Presidents proclamation, !.
cannot be sold at the Office at the upset price Of
s % per acre, or located by land-warran.s. Land
warrants, il appears, will not be taken as payment
at the sales, although il seems that they are to DO
taken afterward.
A new feature in the militia affairs has developed
it,elf Gov. Geary, who il appears has no. gone to
Washington, has had communication with Capt.
Walker, and the other officers Of his company.
The communications, Ike other of the correspon-
dence between the Governor and this military or
gaDizaton, has been priyate but enough has Trans
PRED to let US know that the Governor has required
a new oath. The organ cation Of this company was
sor. of bargain a. the frst and it is bad faith in
Gov. Geary to AK for any new stpulations az this
stage of the game. But i. is thus that despO.ism
moyes-step by step, and demand most when Jour
victim is mos. in your power. This new OATH is
relative 70 the enforcement Of the bogus laws. The
most Objectionable point, Capt. Walkera .heo.hes
have refused 10 comply with. The Governor has
sent the company four days rations and demanded
compliance before they ge: more. While eating
this four days bread they can think over i, and
weigh patriotism and interest in the balance. They
were enrolled for three months, and have served
about half their time.
learn that the whole U. S. military force has
been ordered to Fort Leavenworth by the l5.hins..
After that there will be no U. s. force in the valley
Of the Raw. do not know what this means.
