KANSAS AFrAlRs.-Recen accounts from Wash
ington, say that the Government designs maintain
ing a large force of regular troops in Kansas, osten-
sibly to su ppress Indian instructions. Possibly
there may be some other design also in the meas
ure. 1t is also said Governor Walker has been or
dered to collect taxes imposed by the bogus Legis-
lature, none Of which have ever been paid. Tho
troops will be employed if necessary. This looks
as though there was trouble ahead. From Kansas
we learn that the Sheriff of Douglas county has
given notice of his intention to collect taxes,
Rumor says that Lane, Robinson, Phillips, Con-
way, Blood, and others, have been indicted by the
Grand Jury Of ~Lecompton. In a speech at
Osawakee, on the 9Th, inst, Lane announced
an organization of eleven III usand men to pro-
tect the polls in October, and stated that the
number would be increased to twenty-five thou
sand.
Subsequent dates represent the deputy marshal
of Douglas county on his way to Lawrence, with
upwards OF fifty warrants in his pocket, for the
arrest OF the most prominent of the free state mon
there. No resistance was contemplated. 1t is
evident, however, that a new era is about to be
inaugurated. Possibly it will be distinguished as
one prominently disastrous to the territory and
the Union. The policy that this moYement indi-
Gates forebodes no good, either to the settlers or
the country. IL is the desperate struggle of q
