LAWRENCE, X. T., Tuesday, June II, 1856.
Four days have elapsed since Col SdmDer, with
his dragons and artillery, went after the Mis-
souriaDs and other invading Rufians encamped on
the Reserve The Free. State people who had been
told not to resist, and those of them who were on
the field and who were dispersed and, in some
cases, robbed of their arms, have been anxOusly
waiting to hear Of the great battle between the
Dragons and the Ruffians. Up to the present
writing this wonderful engagement, like the battle
of Armieidden, or Pun chs daughter is looming to
come" heard from the dragons yesterday.
The principal body was encamped about half way
between this and Westport, and while my inform
ant passed, the men were making the most of some
wretchedly. bad weather, and the officer in com.
mand was engaged fishing, not for men, but for the
diminutive fnny tribes that abound in Turkey
Greek.
1t has been raining raining, raining, for two
days. Those in camp, be they Ruffians or dra-
gOons, must have sweet time. do not know
whether it was owing to the rain or wholesome
regard for the big guns, but from whatever cause,
body Of 200 Missourans, who had been up in
Kansas, entered Westport yesterday morning.
They came HockiDg in through the rain, on horse.
back and on mules, in wagons and even on foot,
cursipg the weather generally and the Dragons in
particular. A large number of those cOngregated
about Westp0rt had never started up. Probably
they have been waiting until Sumner would direct
his troops the other way. The POO men who re-
turned to Westport yesterday morning we're not
the whole force of the NissOurans in the Territory
lately. Many others have broken up into small
companies and are pOkiDg about the creeks and
patches Of timber, on the lookout for mischief.
Nearly all of the Carolinians and Alabamians who
have not left the Territory are out figuring in these
scouting parties. The state of the country may be
imagined. 1t Is reported that Col Sumner is going
into Westport to make arrests, ON account OF the
resistance 10 his dragons. When this crusade
against Westport occurs will report it. Several
Free State men, who felt insecure at the present
helpless attitude of the Free-State men, have been
coming here to urge theimmediate organization ofthe
Free State men into companies, and have declared
that they could not and would not stay in the Ter
rlt0fy unless Inehus Ol ocicuec "oio ouoP'~' ~O
policy, however, is still, give the daagoons fair
chance and see what they will do.
HICKMAN INDORsED.-There was political
meeting held in LecOmptOn recently, at which
Sheriff Jones, Eli Moore, some OF the chivalry'
and other Law and Order" gentry met to lndorse
the Cincinnati Convention and its nominees. bu-
chanan was declared GAN sound on the Goose,
and the Ruffians Resolved" that Southern Rights
were safe in his keeping 1t ought TO be gratifying
70 Buchanan to know that JONES' and LecomPte,
and Donaldson, and Strngellow, are heartily salts
fed, and pronounce him rs. G. O."
UNHAPPY FATE OF GUERRILLA -
Yesterday Lawrence was thrown into commo-
ton by another tragedy which may be made
the prelude to more mischief. l mentioned that
a man of the name of Haine had been acting
as DEPUTY Sheriff, and bad been making
sundry arrests, backed by dragons The man
lives in Lawrence but merely excited the contempt
of the people he has been seeking to abuse. tie
has however been determined to secure the fuss
and glory of martyrdom, and reported an attack on
bis house TWO days ago, which nobody believed. On
the night before last the town was alarmed by sew
e1al shots and wild cries. Several citizens hurried
out when the corpse Of ayouth named Hopkins
was found in the house of Haine, shot through tue
heart. He had been shot at the door by Ha ne aud
dragged inside. Haine said that three or four per-
sons attacked his house, and that while they were
opening the door he fired.
Whether this shooting was rash seems to be the
