Kansas, publishes letter ito the friends o
/ free Kansas" in which he s9ys:
i "Kausns is now in q state Of peace, an

forseen ex igency shall occur. Her peopl
f are better armed, organized and drilled thai
ever before, and Gov. Geary is making ever
arrangement to secure them from invasion
and protect their persons aud property frou
outrage. The population of Kansas is pro
baby not far from 10000; at least fUur.ifth
of this population ore free State men an
women. This population is receiving sn,al
accessions only at this time; but n decide
mnjprity Of the new comers are from tn
f free Suites. OF those who may have lei

are from the North than from the South
but most Of the former go away .intendih
to return in the Spring, while but few Of III
latter class will 60 back"
