LAWRENCE, X. T., Sept. 8, 1856.
We have lull once more, but it feels like the
lull which preeedes second storm. This time the
clouds are not thick, and the few that remain on
the Mssouri.ward horizon are not 30 black. The
feeling Of the people here is this: let the storm
come, we have got our umbrellas up!
NV last letter brought us down to the surrender,
or we may call it tho capitulation of Lecompton,
and the return to Missouri of the d" Kansas mi
ltia." Whether they all returned to Missouri is
question of some doubt 1t is quite certain, how
ever, that 100 from St. Joseph, under Col. Robin
son. did return as the quarrel mentioned in my last
was one that will not be easily healed. The CON-
psny or regiment which he commands is known
among the Rufisns by the awe-inspiring name OF
the :" Tigers" their uniform being supposed to re-
semble the natural uniform of that humane animal.
Their name may be intended to convey to innocent
and uususpecting Free-State men the human.bloOd-
loving. raw.head-and bloody bones character OF the
company Be this as it may, those who know Col.
Robinson, their commander, describe him rs gen.
tleman in every particular, but one who was weak
enough to be led by the Interpretations OF
Atchson Stringfellow and Company, to take part in
the raid into the Territory. He did so, with the
understanding that his mission was to stop outrage
and violence on the part Of the AbOlitionsts de
was. therefore, but i'll prepared to see the shoe on
tho other foot-to see law-and-Order men commit
the outrages which h. was told belonged only 10
the deprayed and desperate Abolitionsts; and still
worse was he prepared to see 1t c3qnseled OK
winked at by the great Stringfellow Hence their
quarrel, followed by challenge, which was fol
lowed by his refusal to fight except with gentlemen;
This last event was followed by the Colonels return

This brings ME to speak Of Capt. john Brown, sr.

| the Free-State men, when their ammunition
was expended, Captain Brown was last seen cross

aud revolver in the other As ne was not seen ater

people here mourned him as dead. 1t was therefore
| with much pleasure that they welcomed BACK
back, Oh Sunday last, the venerable hero OF Black
Jack and Osawattamie. Captain Brown Is 4 tall,
gray-hared, blue-eyed man, about 30 years Of age
and the expression of his countcnance indicates
anything else than the ferocous character IN which
the Border newspapers paint him. he reports
That but one Free-State was killed III the pat
tie, but that two men were murdered Zone OF them

battle, making four in all The Border ncwsp aPer'

Slavery side, and their statement is corroborafcd II
part by Captain Brown. They had thrty-;hret
killed, and thirty-scven wounded. Captain Brown
remained around Osaw attanlie, taking care ii h'
