Warsaw, no, Nov. 22.-Judge Williams, the United
States District Judge of Southern Kansas, arrived
IN town tonight. A meeting of the citizens wa:
Immediately called, and Judge Williams delivered q
calm and cool statement Of affairs the Territory
lie had been for twenty-six years Presiding Judge
| on the borders OF civilization. He is an old man
with snow-white locks and fine appearance, formerly
! OF Pennsyl xania, and Att0rney-General Black was
| his law student
Judge Williams said than since Saturday night he
had been IN the saddle He came to warn Missouri
ans OF the approaching danger. Southern Kansas
has been delivered over to Abolition outraees un-
der Montgomery and others. For three and half
years he had been Presiding Judge there and en-
deaV0red to maintain the Supremacy of the laws
and to that end had used his efforts on and off the
bench, faithfully, notwithstanding the evidence of
marauders and lawless men who were there For
that purpose only he had organized and held courts
in all the counties of this District. These ruianly
desperadOes sustained by men VINO procure
means from the States under the preense of aiding
the sufferers IN Kansas, but appropriate them to
carry out their designs of rebellion against law
Tney are the same men who procured the passage
OF the amnesty and other indulgences under the
promise that they would maintain the laws and pre-
serve order in Southern Kansas, but this has only
proved a2espite to enable them more efeetually to
prepare for the accomplishment of their designs.
A messenger of undoubted veracity had arrived,
stating that on yesterday nearly one hundred men
had entered Missouri, fully armed, and passed down
the Usage river to Balls mill. twenty miles the
line, with four armed negroes proceeding in advance
with coils of rope, &C.
The Judge then made the same statement in SUBJ
stance as had been previously telgraphed and clos
ed by urging the people to go into Kansas, but
to protect themselves within their own lines, and to
send aid TO the border counties at once as they
are at the mercy Of these outlaws.
Col Snyder with some four or five others, left
Bolivar yesterday afternoon for Nevada City and
the borders to ascertain, if possible the state of
things in that section He left the Polk county ran
Immediately upon the receipt of orders from
him so to do, and we may soon expect
later reliable information from the scene
of disturbance. A gentleman just in from Osceola
informs US that the citizens Of that section in
a great state Of excitement experimenting that
Montgomery would push on to that place for the
purpose of taking possession of the bank and con-
tents, which could be easily effected in the present
unarmed condition Of the inhabitants; the latest
news of Montgomerys movements being that por-
ton of his band were at Balls Mills, only twenty
five miles from Osceola and it is feared that he will
go on to the latter place. A small independent COM
pany of Minute Men left here this evening, well
armed, for the scene of action.

neer Corps, and company of artillery TO repair to
