 COLONEL: Late in the evening orthe 18th inst. 1 received from Major Scdgwick and from Gov Shannon the letters enclosed.
 1 had heard previously various rumors of outrages committed by bands of armed men about the neighhorhood of Lawrence, and had seen handbills published in other towns pur- porting to give an account of them and mes sengers came to me on two occasions to relate what they had seen of all attack on Lecompton on the morning of the 16th instant; but as all thls must have happened near some of Major Sedgwck's posts, and 1 received no nforma- ton from him, aid as much of the information 1 had received knew to be false, 1 placed no confidence Tn It whatever. especially learning that up to the I7th no attack at all had even been made on Lecompton. Major Sedgwck ailudes, Tn his dispatch enclosed to an attack on Franklin. This Is all the information have as yet on the subject that is authentic; the date and particulars are yet unknown. But on the assurance of both the Governor and Major Sedgwlck that there are 800 armed men assem-. bled in Lawrence, who can be increased in twelve hours to twelve hundred, and that it is expected they would attack and destroy the capital ot the territory, Lecompton, have or dered Lieut.. Col. Johnston's second cavalry to go there, with all the troops at this post except small company, and have ordered all the len from Fort Riley, excepta small garrison, to the same place. l have sent down to have all the troops recruits and others, at efferson barracks to be sent here, and will send them and any companies of the 9th that may arrive, to rein force the command on the Kansas, if neces- sary A large force may prevent any vio- lence; small one might tempt to the commis- sion of 1t.
 enclose my instructions to the officer who may have command of the troops He is to confne his action to the cases specified in the constitution, and provided for by the acts of Congress of February 28, 1795, and March 8, 1907. 1 could not tell that Congress had this session restricted the action of the troops as far as was in their power-that is, to the con- stitutional provision.
 | enclose also communication from an off, cer of the militia on the northern border of the territory, showing how contradictory and in consistent are the accounts spread over the country, for the party that Lane brought from | Iowa is on the northern border and on the Kan sas at the same time.
