LAWRENCE, X. T., Tuesday, June "a, 1856.
have suggestion to make which hope Con-
gre will consider Immediately Itisthat S2O,OOO
be at once voted for the purpose OF constructing
State Prison at Lecompton-a Bsstile or Spiel
berg, for this year of grace 1856. Douglas, in tho
hurry and opposition of the Kansas-Nebraska bill,
overlooked it, but it is indispensable and must be
supplied. Humanity calls for it. Prisoners have
to be confined in military tents, exposed to tho
weather, or chained to stumps. hope that, al
though the Democratic party are false to Freedom,
they will not be lost to humanity. A large nun.
Der Of prisoners now in durance, and there are
indictments for treason and Territorial writs for
political ofenses issued against hundred or two
persons more. Besides, the Deputy Marshals and
Sberas, whenever they come across prominent
or Objectionable man, take him without process,
and the troops back him up in it. ! am not sure
that $4,000 will be sufficient, but let that SUN be
at once appropriated for immediate exigencies.
Yesterday evening (arrests are an invarisble
part of the Sunday exercises) the troops with q
new Deputy Sheriff and an old Deputy Marshal,
went down toward the Wakerusa to take CAP tain
Abbot and several Others but, luckily, did not find
them. The design is to strip the Free State men

officers of the bogus legislature are busy with their
persecution.
For two days Major Buford has been storing up
prOvender aud ammunition at LecOmpton. The
Pro. Slavery men are exutant and confident OF
success.
. We have Just heard that Gen. Qutman of Mis-.
sissippi has been appointed Governor of Kansas.
This comes through the Pro.slavery men and some
officers of the Dragons, who positively give it for
fact. If true, it proves that this resignation OF
Shannon has been ON the tapis for some time back.
Beside the threatening letters from the Border
Rufians, it is current, and believe true, that
Pierce got friend of ShanDOn's who lives in Ohio
to induce him 10 resign. w hen we first heard OF
this presidential maneuyer We thought the removal
indicated something better for Kansas, but the in
timatiOn that we are to be delivered over to the
tender mercies of the fllibuster hero has fallen
upon us like declaration OF war.
The military force on the Kaw is constantly re

to guard State prisoners and make arrests trOttng
