That 900 is getting scarce and it is said that the

Is made; thus giving Whitfield no chance, OF putting

That tickwon do they will have to try something
else. The Committee must go to Lesyenworth.
Yesterday, the United States Marshal attempted to
arrest Reeder and Robinson for contempt of Coutt,
snd they sxosethey would not be taken, and were de-
tended by the -ebels who do their bidding Last week
they were summoned by Judge Leesmpte, United
States Judge, to appear before the 1rand jury OF
Lecompton bat they refused to appear and it was for
this contempt that they were to be arrested Todsy
the arrests were to be made with the aid Of the United
States Troops. You shall know the arrests II. c. p.

Major Oliver spoke here, as stated IN my letter oi
yesterday, on Saturday night. A crowd coHeete9
around the Hanis House drawn together by the band
which was sereDading that gentleman. Being called
out he thanked the assembly for the honor conferred
upon him. He was grateful for this mark OF dstinc-
ton, and would carry it's recollection away down the
stream of life with feelings Of lively gratitude. Tbe
speecb mostly referred to affairs in Kansas and Maj:
Oliver succncty related the history of the Territorial
organization, and hestated not TO attribute our pres
ent difficulties TO the Abolitionss of the North aud
the continued rebellion OF their hirelDgs to the lead
eIs and bead men in lawrence. He spoke patheti-
caiiy of the attempt Sheriff Jones's life, and de-
ecribed the state Of things Lawrence truthfuly,
saying that the place looked like ban acks for soldiers
rather than the abode of citizens; like rendezvous
of rebels rather than village of loyal peoples aud
that the Territory presented the appearance of men
preparing for gar rather than farmers uIng the so
mechanics at their trades, and men and women follow
ing the peaceful avoeaOns of domestic life
Az these tbings he said. were the result of Abolition
Aid Societies, who sending their tools out here 70

ded into belonging to that party that was plan OF
chuckling the fact that tae South is divided

thei votes for one candidate Mr. Oliver ssid nothing
disrespectful Of the Americans and none could have
been displeased with his remarks. He concluded with
strong appeal TO citizens TO cherish the Union and
stand by the Constitution until compelled to absndon
It. The speech was much aPplanded. ! iearq tooay

From appearances war is brewing. You shall be
