Government wagons had been placed on the out
skirts as TO quite encirce the city and in some places
where the spaces between the wagons were rather
wide rough board fences had been put up. The Mayor

assistance from the troops As Mr. Irish was leaving,
he learned that four companies of the troops had been
detailed under the orders of General Pcrser f. Smith,
and marching down TO put the town under guard
and keep off the expected encmics. This alarm and
great precautiOn was somewhat amusing to Mr.. lrsh
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.. Ih states that few days before his departure,
Gen. Richardson commander of the northern division
Of the 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 Gen. Lane who at once restored
his arms, and calling on small guard, escorted him
outside of the town and dismissed him wi much cour-
esy ard many expressions of regret at his misfortune
Mr.. Irish learned that Gen. Richardson WAS so pleased
with the generosity of his captos that he has declared
his intention to wage no more war against them.

illustration of the feelings Of the inhabitants
toward Captain Miller and his marauders, Mr..
Irish relates that on Monday evening, as he was
had reached the place that Lane was contemplating
an attack. he was addressed by a lady from one
of the houses who asked him what truth there was IN
the rumors and what Lane would probably do should
the town be taken He replied, that he thought Lane
was not colsing but that if he did he would do
nothing more than drive out the disordcry Mlssourians
To this she replied with great emphasis and feeling,
If that's all he r,N do, hope 10 God he rM come,
and hat quickly"
The Alabamans who arc under arms are exceedingly
sick of the country and determined to leave. They
say that they must have money to get away with, and
will have il if they have to steal it.
Atchison and Douiphan had become Disguised and
returned to Missouri Tie Pro-Slavery forces under
Gen. Reid were very small.
