LA"hfNtf, h. L., saturday, May 81, 100.
Lawrtnce wore a changed aspect " hen entered
il yesterday, to what il ussd to wear as the ctsdl
Of freedom in Kansas. IL was not only ia the
blsek ened ruins of the buildings thx had bero
buried or in the destIucion and loss that has
been sustained BY the Inhabitants, but it 20 has~
were The lock OF secuIi ssd energetic prosperity.
Drasoous could be seen in the streets, clustered in
little knots here and there having come down from
their camp over the rSyne. Some OF the officers
were riding slowly about. scanning matters
ard things with curious eye. as il they
would detect mcipent revelation Ia some
lsrger cluster of the citizens, or watch for
every cbspge'ul indication. Were these soldiers
here 10 protect the citizens No. had just ntd
from LcaverwortL from bloodthrsty bard. who
were threatening my hfe, end for the last three
days that city has been in the power Of Pro-
Slavery mob, armed with United States muskets
ard hs,,nets which had come through the hands
of Shannon. That mob has thrown guard
around lesveiNorth 10 prevent the escape Of
those WHO would hco Into the interior OF the Ter
ritory. They presented list Of names. between

IL, thatifthey hadany witnesses on that list, they
ulust get through with them immediately, as they
had been ordered Ia leave aud must quit the Ter
ritory in three days for their lives
On the evening cf the 18th these men promen-'
AIDED the streets in military company, makiog ar
T, SIS of all persons they did not like, without the
shadow of legal authority. Lie bungling block
heads as they were, however, they took so many
prisoners that they were unable to keep them and
il would barely DO to lynch So mopy. They hud-
died up some thirty prisoners IN building IN tbs
city, ard when they GOT that many begsn to re-
feet what they should have contemplated before
what they would do with them Ii was going To
be expensive work IL keep them, and, besides,
would require nearly all the force they had got.
Which would leave them in rather an awkward
position in case they were attacked. Under
these circumstances they liberated all who would
premise 10 leave the Territory within three days.
Those who would give TO promise of the Kind were
liberated finally under threat ot death or severe
penalty if they had not left the Territory within
three days. Where is Governor Shannon with his
troops during ali these outrages Does be make

thee men who sre thus prosecuted by frO-
Slavery mob that he has been Instrumental IN arm.

property, without time Ia save what they have

should the FreeState men of Leayenworth
Indignantly rise and defend themselves from such
borrid abuses, then the troops will pounce upon

rerce 10 prevent any rising OF the people here. l
eyrect that swreDce will be again attacked by
mob from Missouri, aided by those OF the young
Soutterners who are in the Territory and before
il h,pp.ns the troops will be removed. fester-
dsy evening one of the two companies at this point
left for Lecompton, and those remaining form
small company OF twenty five or thirty men.

with their husbands, and are determined to remain
with them.
