GEN. LANE.-The Kanzas correspondent Of
the Boston Journal, writing on the 9th inst, at
Lawrence, says.
''Gen. Lanes wound proves Of much more Sc
rious nature than was at first supposed. The
ball entered his leg near the knee, and when it
struck the bone it glanced up into the thigh. 1t
is very painful, aud he is unable to move in his
bed without assistance. The legal investigation
of the case has not yet commenced, but will prob
ably begin today. The funeral Of Mr.. jenkins
is to take place tomorrow. A general feeling Of
gloom pervsdes the community. Now that the
bitterness of the first excitement is over, the
loud denuneiation Of Lane, in which some in
dulged, has partially subsidized. No one claims
that he not culpable, but the fact that he was
at the time in peaceable possession of the prem
ises he occupied, and that party Of three or
four armed men broke into those premises, mod
crates somewhat the feeling against him."

DR.. Cheever's church members are in state
Of some excitement. A meeting was held, says
the New York Bzpsess, on Tuesday evening,
when, after very excited debate, lasting several
hours, it was definitely decided TO sever the con.
necton with the church Of foFty-eight members
who protested against DR., Cheever's course. The
protesting members some time since applied for
letters of dismissal to other churches. The
church, after due elaboration, granted letters,
but not in the usual form, and they were returned
by the protesting brethren, with the request that
the usual form should be adopted. Since then
the subject has been matter Of debate and con.
troversy in the church. At about eleven o'clock
Tuesday evening, the resolutions of committee,
affirming the previous decision, were passed, and
thus the forty-eight members are dismissed with
the letters offered, whether they will or no.
