Arrival of Emigrants.

At sundown, on Wednesday, the
18th inst, while seated In our sane
tum" " we were startled BY the sound of
loud cheering. We Immediately has
tened to the street, and found that the
long-expected train, under Col. El-
dredge, was entering town and the
cheers were from our citizens, whose
hearts were gladdcned By the arrival of
these gallant men from the North.
The train consisted of above $50
men, who, in perfect order and disei-
pline, marched down Massachusetts,
Street, preceded by drum and fife, and
beautiful silk T. S. flag. The men
presente's fine appearance, and must
prove, or their looks belle them, a val
liable acquisition to Kansas.
Among the conductors of companies,
we noticed and gladly welcomed to
Lawrence, Col. Eldredge, Gen. Pome-
roy, Col. Perry, Prof. E. Daniels, A.
Searl, and Richard Realf from New
York. On their arrival in front of the
Hotel ruins, the men were drawn into
line, and three cheers were given for
the " Free State citizens of Lawrence, -
three for {. Or nert President, Col.
JOIN G. FREMosT," and three more for
1.-The Ladies of Kansas" They
camped for the night on the north side
Of Fort Lane, and we could not help
being struck with the rapidity and or
der (an1 this fact speaks volumes for
those gentlemen who have had charge
of the train) with which kraal was
formed, and all arrangements made for
camping.
The following were the principal
! parties in this train: The Wisconsin
CO., of 90 men, Conductor Prof. E
Daniels the Ottawa, H., of 30, and
the Ohio Co, Of 80 men, Conductor
Col. Perry. The remainder, about 100
men, consisted of various small compa-
nies from different parts of the North.
They arrived at the Kansas border,
on Friday the l1th inst, and on Satur-
day were arrested at Plymouth, by 800
L. S. troops, acting under the orders of
Deputy Marshal Preston. When the
train drove into the settlement, they
found the troops drawn across the prai-
RE in battle array, with six pieces OF
artillery, placed SO as to command the
road. They were arrested as an Or
ganized body, invading the Territory,
and their wagons were searched for
cannon, arms, and jim Lane, whom the
Dep. Marshal declared was with the
train in disguise. They found no can
non, nor Lane, but they seized 140
Halls carbines, so T. S. muskets, and
lO Sharp's rifles, with several small
arms belonging to the emigrants. A
strong guard was placed over them at
night, with orders to shoot any that
attempted to escape. They started for
Topeka next morning, and arrived at
that place on Tuesday morning Gov.
Geary visited them, and after an inter-
view with the conductors, ordered their
release. The arms taken, he promised
to return in few days. About 100
of the party stayed in Topeka, and the
remainder reached Lawrence on We'd
ncsday evening. This high-handed act
of tyranny needs no comment ; it is
but another step in the We will sub
due you" policy.
