FROM KANSAS

ST.Lou1s, May 2G.-I'he Republican and Dem
ocrat are full of Kansas letters to-day, from
which the following additional news relative to
tho attack on Lawrence, arc taken. The Dem
Gratis correspondent says: stores and dwellings,
unfortunately broken open and robbed; one
man named johnson had 1000 dollars in drafts,
checks and Land warrants taken from him, and
Col. Topli!fe appointed Colonel Of militia by
Saannon last fall was forcibly disposscsscd of his
commission, private papers, watch and money,
amounting to 500 dollars, his trunk also
broken open and his clothes carried OFF. The
house and library belonging TO Brown, Editor,Of
the Herald, set on fire twice, butwas cXtinguish-
cd by the citizens.
The Republican learns, through information
given by Col. Brewster, that on the 23d, 200
Free State men had collected at Lawrence.
The garrison at Franklin had left, and the
town would probably be attacked by Free State
mon on the hight Of the 22d.
1t is said Shannon will order 100 Q. s. troops
to be stationed ut osawatonpie, 100 at Lawrence
and 100 at Topeka.
At Osawntomie, Judge Cato, Of the District
Court, had been prevented from holding court By
threats of violence.
