NEWS FROM KANSAS.

II is reported, on the authority OF the Herald of
freedom, Lawrence, Kansas Territory,) that the
Tree State party the election of the 4th Of January
,ucceeded in electing the governor and majority Of
both branches of the Legislature. Whether this in
6ruation is reliable or not, of course, the reader
must be the Judge Granting that it is find that
Ehs free-State men possess the controlling power IN

bsy have provided for calling another constitutional
convention in the latter, they propose to organize

peration their State government pass some general

v the territorial Legislature and provide at for

curse is strongly urged by the Herald of Freedom,

ounces the Topeka constitution full OF errors, and
|ecommends energetic action by accepting at once

into this affair, them as we will, there is but one
int OF egress. We may quarrel about the way Of
trance, but we must come out together at last. No
DIV in Kansas certainly is to be DISTINGUISHED and

THE ARMY BILL IN THE SENATE. Haf
On yesterday the Hon. Mr.. Davis brought up the bill
reported by the Committee Military Affairs of which
he 10 chairman. - .-5s,s,,l ~ tst., .ssl.ria, - \
The bill proposes to increase the army 10y increasing the
number of companies in two regiments already existing
and by increasing the number Of men in the companies
1t is proper 10 remark that the mode of increase pro-
vded for by the bill is destructive of the principle upon
which army organized That principle u.s. that the
peace establishment of the army should be skeleton
which, in time of war; may be increased by adding to the
number of the companies and particularly by adding to
the number OF in the companies This theory was
well explained by the Hon. Mr.. Davis in his reports
Secretary of War.
g The increase of the army recommended by the com
mandng general and by the Hon Secretary of War; Mr.
Floyd and by the President communicated to Congress
In his late annual message increase Of the peace
Enlistment that s increase by regiments is in
pursuance of the skeleton principle to which have
ferred This increase of the peace establishment
dercd necessary by the advance Of our settlements towards
nnoccupied interior.
To divide regiments for the protection of different por
tons OF interior frontier must necessarily break down
the esprit du corps of the regiments and thus diminish the
tone of the whole army. To increase the army by in
creasng the number of regiments as recommended by
the present Secretary of War and indeed recommend
ed by his predecessor the Hon. Jefferson Davis obvates
the necessity of dividing regiments and Of thus breaking
down their esprit du corps and is besides in accordance
with the skeleton theory 80 long maintained by a sue
cession of administrations and Congresses.
For these the mode of increase by regiments
far preferable to the mode provided for in the bill
