the region Of Fort Scott, in which it was
said that thirty men had been killed. This

Lawrence yesterday, which states that Gen
eral James Lane has gone to Fort Scott, and
intends first to de,nolish that place, and
then wipe OUT Lexington and Westpoft,
and that war of determination is to be be-
gun on the pro-slavery settlers in the Shaw

and their houses burned. Iregard this
letter as intended &c rcnse the Border people

will enter upen the discharge Of his official
duties to day. The people seem very much

that the President has made nothing by the
exchange, for it is understood that Mr.. Den

Gov. Walker ami Secretary Stanton, even
TO the convenifg+of the extra session of the
Legislature.
