In nv last mentioned that the Kickapoo
Rangers were encamred on he opposite side
of the river. Two of the citizens of Law
renee went over that evening to oreconnoitre
the position, &C., of the enemy. They were
seen and fred upon, and chased by some
Rangers on horseback. but by doeging in
among trees, escaped. We have since learn.
ed THAT the enemy intended TO murder them
if caught. They are very bitter towards the
people o: this city, because Jones was shot
here. Yesterday it rained very hard: and
the Rangers dispersed. Where they now
are is not known.
A gentleman visited Franklin last evening
and reports that Jones is not expected to re-
cover; the wound is a bad one, and very
much inflamed. Sam. Lattus, into whose
face lady of Lawrence threw some hot
water, when he came to search for and ar.
rest her husband, is bat ly off; one side o.
his face is scalded bad, taking off his bearl
and skin. 1t will probably be long time
before he will be out again. The report
that he has resigned his Office has been con.
firmed. The Congress Commissioners are
busily engaged taking testimony. Yester-
day an old man named ]. Davidson, who has
a claim about three miles from this city
and voted last January for Governor anc
other officers for the State Of Kansas, testi-
fed that he was member of secret society
in Missouri, whose object it was to make
Kansas slave State. The society is called
by various names, such as "Blue Lodge
'Social Band" "Friends' Society" "Sons
of the South" etc. He joined the society
in Cass county, February, 1855; came here
with party and voted on the 30th of March

Friday, April %, 1856.
Yesterday morning the Lieutenant in COM
mand of the forces q this city, sent mes
| sage to Col. Sumner, at Fort Leavenworth,
stating that the war had commenced, Jones
had been shot, &C., md asked for another
detachment of troops. The Colonel started
Immediately with one hundred and twenty
| United States dragons for this city, and en-
camped on the opposite side of the river. -
Taking with him an Indian guide, and a
soldier, the Colonel went during the night TO
Lecompton TO confer with Wilson Shannon,
Esq. He returned to-day, and after stopping
| in this city few moments, crossed the river
to join his forces in camp.
All is quiet in town to-day; the soldiers
have gone to Lecompton with the prisoners.
Yesterday DIR. s. C. Harrington, of this
city, was arrested by Sam. Lattus and the
troops. The Doctor stated TO Lattus lha.
he was waiting upon Jones, and could not
leave. Lattus then called upon his superior
in command, and stated the circumstances OF
his having arrested DR.. Harrington. Jones
then gave orders that the Doctor should be
released from custody. unconditionally, which
was done. So it is evident that Jones has
the Pardonlng power, and can arrest and re-
lease from custody whoever he chooses; the
supreme dictator for the people of Lawrence,
end sustained in his presumption by the
United States army, with the President at
its head.
The settlers generally are indignant at
having the United States army stationed in
their midst to render assistance to Sheriff
Jones in arresting men for refusing to act as
his posse on Sunday last, or 70: rescuing an
innocent man from his custody at midnight
last November, while the murderers of Dow,
Barbour and Brown are permitted to 60 at
large without being molested. If his Excel
lency Wilson Shannon would manifest the
same zeal in securing the arrest of those
persons who are known to be guilty of butch
ering Brown, as he does in having those per.
sons who choose to attend to their own busi-
ness rather than that of the Sheriff, the
people would consent to be arrested and

SDecial Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.

Ii is stated here that good reasons exist
for believing that Sheriff Jones, Of Kansas,

The Pittsburgh Convention passed the
following resolution:
l. We demand ard shall attempt to secure the
repeal of al laws which allow the introduction OF
slavery into territories cunsecrateG to freedom
and will resist by every constitutional means the
existenc of slavery in any of the territories of the

If that does mol demand the "repeal of
the repeal" there's no use in language.

A band of Lecompton ruffians said to have
been ordered out by Gen. Shannon, have
been encamped upon the Delaware Reserve,
for the purpose Of seizing and annoying Law
renee men. One man from this city was
pursued by FIVE of them a few evenings since,
aud was shot at, and but for the fact that his
horse suddenly leaped into deep ravine,
from which he could not readily extricate
himself. he would probably have been over
taken and murdered. The leap into the ra-
vine suddenly misled the party upon another
trail
