FROM KANSAS.
GOV. WALKER AS A TRAVELER-HIS TALK
ABOUT THE CONVENTION.

Correspondence Of The Chicago Tribune
STEAMER OGLEsBY, Missouri River, Nov. 20 1857.
The good steamer Oglesby is approaching jeff 'rson
City, with passenger list embracing the loa Robert
| j. Walker, the Hon. j. II. StdDgf7liow, the Hon.
Somebody Of South Carolns, and your correspondent
Gov Walker came on board at LeavenwOrth, with
the most rema ksble lot Of travelling apparatus ever
seen Oh this thoroughfare Among other portions OF
hs outfit is ,bis whole Kansas library boxed aud a.
cured apparently for long journey. In addition to
this he has about two drays Of mis- celaneous freight
comprising should say, al the IN Jveable proper
belonging to the Governor OF Kansas. His Ekcolency
has not on the subject OF his early
return to the Territory, whence his fellow passengers
have Inferred that he not anticipate returning at
all Navigation will have closed before he gets back
from Washington, and the transportation OF his freight
by land from Jefferson ~ Lscompton will cost some
body SIC PEE 100 pounds-an expense which so shreWd
fnarcer as the Governor would certainly not incur
in crisis like the present.
There is to bs special session OF the Kansas Leg
issture. The Ffee-Stste Territorial Committee met
and appointed Committee Of their own cum Der to
wait upon the Governor and urge him to call such
session to take action concerning the monstrous pro-
ceeoings Of the Lecompton Bogu, Convention THIS
Committee divided itself into two emb assies, one gong
TO Lecompton and the other to Lsayenwortn. Toe
Goyerpor was found at the latter place rather a.
embryo town Just outside of Leaveuwor.h and just in
eide of the Fort Leaven worth Reservation. The
Governor said 1t quite clear special session ought
10 be called but he doubted his power - issue the
call. He would examine the law and il he folnd it
within the scope Of his authority he would act 10 60
cordance with their suggestion.
The Committee saio they would remsin IN Lsaven-
worth until the Governor could post himself up. They
called the DAY In 10 learn that the Governor
bad passage the steamer Ogesby for St. Louis
SO am informed by gentleman who came on bosrd
iust as the steamer showed off, The Committee who
went 10 Lecompton found Stanton, and urged upon
him the necessity of specisl session. He agreed
fully with their views and thought that course ndis
peisable but Of course declined to take any action
on bis part while his superior was IN the Territory
Mr. Stanton knows by this tune that his superior has
ran away fiom the responsibility of either calling the
session or rot calling it. The Secretary who is now
Acting Governor, will, doubtless, avail himself Of
some other docge.
Gov. Walker has expressed himself very freely dur
ing the trip concerning the fIamers Of the Lscompton
Constitution. He even alleges mat they are haoie

Sovereign. Last evening, after Gov. Walker had
retired to his state room inebrsted, Sungfeuow got
into dispute with an lilo ,kipg customer, who hailed
from South Carolina, on the fruitful topic OF the Ok.
ford election returns. Sfingfelow maintained that
Walker had acted properly 10 throwing out those no.
turrf. South Carolina held exactly the opposite. Ot
course the proper way to arrive at the tcuth was TO
shoot each other. Olt came couple Of reyolyers and
bang went Of them at the head Of The hereto on

natey both weapons were struck aside, and the com.
