Later from Kansas.

heeditor ofthe Toledo Blade hashad an inter
view with Mr.. A. Soule who passed through To-
ledo on Tuesday. Mr.. s. has been in Kansas du.
ing the past three yeas, and left Lawrence on
Friday last. Here is what the Blade gathers from
his statements
When about five miles on his way, this side o
Lawrence he met Walker and others, and seven
companies Of United States troops who were
Fastening to Lawrence for tho purpose of awng
that freedom-oving city into submission to the
Bogus Legislature.
Some oil the passengers who were with Mr. Soule
in the stage, suggested TO Walker that his troops
would be missed from the Utah army. He replied
that there were greater fanatics in Lawrence that
at Salt Lake, and that the troops were more need
ed in Kansas than beyond tue mountains Or
Thursday the day before Mr. Soue lett, the peo
pie of Lawrence held public meeting, at which
they resolved that troops or no troops, the taxei
should not be paid. The Free State men from
the surrounding country, hearing OF the troubles
at Lawrence, were flockng in to see if any helE
was needed.
The troubles at Lawrence arose in this way
The citizens declining to accept charter from thC
Bogus Legislature had formed voluntary city
government, and under it, had chosen Mayor
and other officers. This action, although enirely
voluntarily, was deemed reasonable by Governor
Walker, and drew out his insulting proclamation
| in which he tells them that they are in open coils
ion with the government of the United States anC
that rebellion so iniquitous, aud necessarily in
volylng snch dpful consequences has never before
| disgraccd any age or country"

Death indeed has been among us,

Death indeed has been amongus
Singled out his prey again,
And this time sought one who numberd
Nearly two-score years and ten.
He has made solemn visit
To thy bright domestic band,
And the gentest one has fallen
Smitten by his cruel hand.
Yes she's gone, thy own loved mother,
And her voice ye'll hear no more,
She has left you in your sorrow,
And her loss ye now deplore.
Filial love hath now no power
From those lips to win a SMILE
Yet ye have this consolation,
She Is freed from grief and guile
The pale angel came in mercy
To reclaim the spirit given,
Though he left her body with you,
In peace her soul now rests in Heaven.
He hovcrcd long arounl her death-bed,
Ere he the sad message gave.
Though commissioned by his master,
Who full power hath to save.
At last in mercy he recalled her
Far from scenes of grief and pain,
In God she trusted and her Savior,
And with Christ has gone to reign.
Mourning orphans, God protect you
From the snarcs of vice and sin,
In his goodness eer direct you
To forever trust in Him.
