but that if he did come, he would do moth

Probable Peaceful Settlement of the Distur-
Dances, &C., DC.


Mr.. Rial Irish, native of Pontiac, Mich
igan, reached our city yesterday afternoon
by jefferson city and the Pacific Railroad,
having left the city of Leavenworth on Tues
day evening, the 9th. From him we have
gained the following important information
respecting the condition of things in Kansas
On the Same evening Of his departure from
Leavenworth, the people of that city were
in state Of great CONSERVATION at reports
that were flying about that Lano contempla-
ted an attack upon the city that night. A
lot Of government wagons had been PLACED
on the outskirts, SO as to quite encircle the
city, and in some places where the spaces be-
tween the wagons were rather wide, rough
hoard fences had been put up. The Mayor
of the city had sent word up to the fort, and
demanded assistance from the troops. AS
Mr.. Irish was leaving, he learned that four
companies of tho troops had been detailed
under the orders of General Persifer 4. Smith
and were marching down to put the town
under guard and keep off the expected ene-
mics. This alarm and great precaution was
somewhat amusing to Mr.. Irish, as he had
learned on the same day from gentleman
direct from Lawrence, that Lane had not
moved, nor did he intend to move from his
position.
Mr.. Irish states that few days before his
departure, Gen. Richardson, commander of
the northern division of tho Kansas militia,
had been captured by squad of Lanes
troops. The particulars Of the capture he
had not heard. Richardson was conveyed to
Lawrence, and delivered over to General
Lane, who at once re tored his arms, and
calling on small guard, escorted him out
side OF the town and dismissed him with
much courtesy, and many expressions of re-
gret at his misfortune. Mr.. Irish learned
that General Richardson was SO pleased with
the generosity of his captors, that he has de-
clared his intention to wage no more against
them.
The condition Of Leavenworth City is truly
dcplorable. On Monday night, Mr.. Irish
states, he was aroused from his bed at the
Lcavenworth Hotel, By cries of the citizens
that the Missouri mob were plunderng sew
cral Of the grocery stores Of the place, and
they must be driven off, The citizens gather
cd in large numbers but were afraid to inter
ferc, and the gang Of inaraudcrs under Capt.
Miller were permitted to finish their robberios.
This Captain Miller is notorious gambler
scoundrcl, and has under his command a
small gang Of Missourians and Others, who
go about pilfcring and plundering indiscrimi-
nately. The people detest him so heartily
that many have expressed their desired that
he with his gang and Captain Brown with
his gucrras should be placed together in the
woods and be permitted to fight il out togeth-
err In illustration Of the feelings Of the in
habitants toward Captain Miller and his ma
