FROM KANSAS.

From Oar Special Correspondent
LEcoMFToN, X. T., Saturday, june 81, 1856.
For the time being, Kansas is relieved from the
immediate peril of having its fowls laid waste by
large Missouri armies; but it is not the home OF
peace and security. No Free-State bands, not
even q guerrilla party, is in the field. Nothing
could be more striking indication of the chsrac-
ter Of the Free. State settlers than this. large
number are burning with anxiety to resume the
cour.e Of victory over the Ruffians so glOriously
commenced; but the decision had gone forth from
the mature deiberat;on Of the Free State leaders,
that was better to leave the matter at present TO
the troops, and give them g fair Chance to redeem
their prtmises; and this has been acquiesced in
With an unsnimity which, in these stirring times,
indicates the intelligent reflection that guides the
Free State men. But this course does not give
peace it does not give security; it does not give
justice, or even offer hope Of success to the Free
State course. The policy may BIZ good, but all
that the free settlers have to hope for must come
from different course. Rowing bands Of South
e1ers broken up into small fragments, still carry
on the work Of murder, and pillage, and mensces
Bu,re,s still suffers comparatively few EN- grants

every day. AaDy young men who would like ~
stay, have left. "Ah," they would tell mo when
demonstrated, "Ah, We would like TO stay, but
We cannot. We did Lot bring very much money
with us, and board is so high, and every exper Sc
80 great, that necessity drives Us off, but We will
return. We cannot 60 out and take claims, for
there is no security, and We cannot find sufficient
employ nent. We cannot defend ourselves without
organizing for defence, and the Free State leaders
are oppose TO that now. We cannot wait, or We
would" And thus Free Kansas has lost much Of
its strength, and lost it close upon an impending
cri,l.
