To night the paci6cators hover around Us
again, and Lawrence sleeps 10 profound
peace. The last tragedy Of Walker Ad
transmitted into comedy or illusory show,
and We are Ut . loss 70 know whether most
to pity or dsspiss him. But Two days since
he left 10 with all but forty Of his dfagoons,
ostensibly for the purpose Of suPpresslnE
m Indian disturbance near Fort Riley, q
n Q same time II vas generally believed that
it was all . ruse, and that he only wanted to
get out Of his sad dilemma, by rstreating I'M
der that prstsnse. Report says he wendell
on until Yesterday morning, when they were
met BY q messenger from the fort, who re-
ported "alrs WE'LL" and tho Indians quiet !;
so the Governor and his four hundred troops
rctraced their steps, and encamped at Tope-
ka last night, and tonight the most of them,
with his excellenoy, are again upon our linz
its.
Poor, infatuated old ninny. Fooled whom
he came; fooled again when he left Us, and
now he is consummately stupid not to stay
away whom he 10 once decently out OF sight.
His coming back tonight looks more strange
than any thing else. II 10 oil novel plan
from the Hrst, that it 10 difficult 70 regard
with earnest confederation. The solfliers
themselves, including the officers, are tired
Of this whining about to no purpose, 1t the
CAPRICE OF . man who 10 ct best go s0sity
mist AIKEN. One Of the officers sWore with
out stint when about to start away ON Mon
day. He said he had been ordered over
here to = Lawrence war now he WAS order
ed to an Indian war, and the Lord Almighty
only knew what war they might be ordered
to next. lie has found BY this time that he
is ordered to the Lawrence war again. And
model war tits. The right all on one side
and all the wrong on the other.
No difference Is observed in the conduct
Of our psople--in the number OF hours our
laborers work--in the tone Of any public
policy, or in the efficiency and force Of our
city government, whether the Governor ID
within a thousand miles or not.
Thsngs About Lawrence.
The N. Y. 1ribune's correspondent is re.
sponsible Tor the following:
The Border Ruftians brought Free State
prisoner into Lawrence IA few days ago
They pretended to be going with him to Lee
compton and Osawkeec. The design was ev-
identity TO have him rescued by the indignant
people OF Lawrence. The cnptors and theil
prisoner remained nearly two days, at a
great expense, at one OF the hotels. Had
the rescue been made, tho Governor and the
troops could have got up another Wakeruss
war, and thus gloriously terminated the in
vasion. The rutisn officials staggered about
town displaying 7evolvers and dirty shirts.
but their laudable efforts failed. The peo.
pie Of Lawrence would mot nibble at the
green cheese in the trap. Exasperased 81
the perseverance, Of this cunning ssfanati-
cism," the bogus Sheriff Indignantly CON-
pounded with the father Of the prisons and
for $50 released him. This mode Of enfor-
cling the Territorial laws is striking, but moi
an exceptional case. How long will pru-
dence and the love Of peace in the country
make it necessary to tolerate such infamy
and refrain from swinging up these scoun.
