evidently unreliable, and therefore not worth the

"There is lull in the Kansas war, which is prob.
ably the forerunner of a peace. The army of Mis-
sourians recently rendezvoused near Westpost for
the invasion of the territory is disbanded. Much
the larger portion of the men composing it have
returned home, leaving small force of two or
three hundred men, under Gen. Reid, to protect
the territory The cause of the break up was this:
After the affair at Ossawattomie the men under
Reid called out to be led against Lawrence right
off, that they might terminate the war by the cap
ture of that place. The leaders, conscious of the
impossibility of succeeding in such hazardous
terprise with such an undiscplined force, refused
to march on Lawrence and fell back on their base
of operations on the Missouri border. The men
became disheartened and refused to submit to the
severe drilling system which was instituted in the
camp, and which experience has demonstrated to
be absolutely essential to enable the pro o-slavery
army to make headu ay against the thoroughly Or
ganised and disciplined forces under Lane. They
packed up and returned home
