TOPEKA, Oct. 18th. 1856.
We are enjoying a comparative State of
peace in our State but are still subject to OUT
RACES on the border some days ago II. Miles
Moore Esqr., one of our best citizens, was ar
rested at Kansas City by mob, and taken
to Wyandotte City. A messagewas sent to
Gov. Geary by the Marshal of Kansas City,
stating that Mr.. Moore had been arrested, and
desiring to know what should be done with
him. Geary was very indignant at the outrage,
and demanded the instant release of Mr..
Moore, telling him at the sometime that he
was able to make all the arrests he wanted to,
without the aid of Missouri mobs. Mr..
Moore was released, and returned to Kansas
! City to prosecute those who arrested him.
A few days after this, N. J. Mitchell Esqr.
of this place was arrested at Weston, Mo-,
placed in chains, aud taken to Leavenworth;
what subsequently became Of him we have
not learned.
Another individual was mobbed end robbed
| by party of Carolinians at Tecumseh on
Saturday last.
A party of U. S. soldiers, some three hun
dred in number went up towards Nebraska
short time ago, to arrest the notorious Jim
Lane The ruffians had succeeded in cOnvinc-
ing him that Lane was organizing an army of
five OF ten thousand and was preparing to
invade the country. A part of them return
ed yesterday and report Lane non est. On
their way back they arrested couple of cti
zens for setting the prairie on fire, one of them
they tied up and gave fifty lashes. Whether
Gov Geary will permit such high handed out
RACES as this to be perpetrated by U. S. Of
fcers remains to be seen. The officer, Capt.
Anderson, excuses himself by saying that
there is no law in the country. The soldiers
are the most independent fellows in the world
