When from our office window, on bless
ed Friday of last week, we saw distant
companies of dragons prancing towards
Lawrence, headed by his excellency, Ma
jor- General Robert ]. Walker, we instinct
lively felt glow of generous pride, and
Immediately die patched a corps of prying
inquisitive reporters to note down every
thing of interest or importance that trans
pred. In this way we are enabled to pre-
sent a full account of our Governors patri-
oOc doings. Before giving our reports
however, it may be as well to state that
the Union is all o. K, and the dignity of
the laws vindicated. 1t is also generally
surmised that the comet was just about to
smash us into chaos when His Erratie
Highness heard Of Walker and splungedsotf

This last despatch was received just be-

the Governor has had most glorious and
successful campaign. The arresting Of
that peanut boy was master stroke and
every act of the Governor during The mo-
mentous, crisis, was worthy of the hero and
the man. @
We fear that our. reporters are disposed
TO make light of the matter, and we stamp
