DEAR JOURNAL
KANSAS Is FREE! We have couqueref peace!!
Yesterday Gov. Shannon, Major Ledgewick,
commander Of the forces in this portion Of the
State, and DIR. Raderick, of Lecompton, came
up here with few troops to try and effect a
treaty of peace. The Lecompton folks were
nearly frightened to death, for they knew we
would attack the town to-day or tomorrow.
In fact we were on our way there, when we
attacked fort Titus, and should have gone on
there after we had demolished the fort, had it
not been for a tremendous storm of rain that
came up. We invited the gentlemen up stairs
and appointed committee to confer with
them. i never saw men so badly used up as
old Shannon and Raderick were; we put it to
them in full doses, assure you, Shannon tried
to plead that he had tried to do his duty. We
asked him if burning and pundering houses,
stealing horses and cattle, and numbering citi-
zens; was Going his duty! If arming with q.
S. arms, bands Of robbers and murderers, was
doing his duty2 If arresting and OBTAINING
peaceable citizens, who were travelling the
common highway, was doing his duty? And
IA thousand other questions. / never saw
man so cut up in my life before. He asked US
what we should do provided he did not accede
to our terms of peace. We told him we
should march Immediately down and attack
Lecompton, and would not disband the army
until we had driven every scoundrel out of the
State. That we would come the California
over them, and that our friends at distance
were ready. Major Ledgewick, (who is a
friend of ours, and one of the best of men)
fully understands that it will not do to fire on
a party of free State men, for then the war
will commence all over the Union. They
finally acceded to our terms, were these

relish the idea of letting Donaldson and Titus
go, for they were determined to have their
blood.

have been prisoners under HIM, swear that he
