THE KANSAS BRIGADE.

Another turn has been given TO our military
Kaleidoscope, and different picture is again
visible. Brigsdier General James H. Lane,
and two more regiments are in the "6eld"
The Kansas brigade now consists of Eve
regiments under Colonels Deitzler, Mitchell,
Phillips, Wesr, and Montgomery. Two of these
regiments have an actual, the other three only
yesterday with the order for two regiments, of
which he and Captain James Montgomery are
to be colonels aud also with intelligence con.
hrming the appointment Of General Laue. or
all the military sensations given birth to in
Washington, and telegraPhed to Kansas, this
last is by far the most exciting, and the most
important. II the organisation contemplated
in these orders is perfected, Kansas will have
powerful force in the field, with a competent
commander at its head.
General Lane Is frst.clsss military man,
tnd no one has ever questioned his fitness for
the position he has lately received. If the three
new regiments can be raised, they will be
raised through the genius Of the brigadier
general, Our own impression is, that the fight
ing material is nearly all exhausted, aud tha,
the additional regiments must be Obtained out
side Of our own state.
Five thousand men taken from Kansas, and
marched to Arkansas, will leave US in an ex
posed position, and We have right 10 demand
the protection Of the people Of Kansas by the
soldiers Of Kansas.
Gen. Lane has not yet returned, and may not
be here until after the meeting of Congress
He knows our wants, and the people will feel
secure under his military guidance LeQpen
