u, Lane and Reeder are the only traitors
that now run at large

Louis examine letters to find treason or news
that may be Of advantage to them, so look

got to tell you that Mr.. Chapin, one of our
Ohio party, was taken for Reeder by the rab-
be, in Lawrence, as he was carrying his car
pet sack to place of safety. They caught
him by the arms and several muskets were
held close to his breast. The guns were
cooked, and murderous fingers were upon the
triggers, while cries of shoot the damned
old governor, kill him, blow him to he'll"
came from the surrounding Rufians. Some
one, who was Mason, discovered Mason
ic pin in his shirt bosom, and called for his
name. He told him his name was on his
carpet bag, and they could read it for them
selves. One of the most ofiicious told Cha
pin he could not read, but if Jones would
vouch for his not being Reeder, they would
let him go; Jones said he Was not, and Mr..
Christian took his part, and they finally let
him go, Jones giving him a pass for his safe

Robinson was in Lecompton. 1t was not so.
On last Friday morning, Wilcox saw him at
the trading post, at Bull Creek, on the Santa
Fee road he ate breakfa in the same room,
but so closely was he watched that he did
not dare speak to him. When Wilcox first
discovered him he was sitting on a chair at
the side Of the house whiting a stick of wood;
he was guarded by band of some 25 or 80
hard looking fellows. He recognized Will
COX, but neither spoke, as they would allow
him no communication with his friends
Wilcox states that he appears sad and dis
couraged, except when some one speaks to
him, when he assumes the same calm be-
ngnsnt smile so familiar to all his friends
The free state people do not knoT where he
is, though they try their best to find out the
most reliable information is that he has been
carried to Leavenworth, though we don't
: know positively. Some have their fears that
! be has been carried off into some lonely spo:
and murdered ; and all have their fears that
they intended never to let him out of their
hands alive. Mrs. r. has gone on to Wash
ington with the papers of the committee.-
She had them quilted between the folds Of
household goods burnt to ashes, and her hus
