LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL.

TOPEKA, April go, 1861.
DEAR News: Were it not for the daily
mail which comes from the Missouri river
every evening, existence in the would be
city of Topeka would be almost uGenGura-
BILE. The session of the Legislature being
held here is fine thing for the Capital. Ii
brings together here some hundred and fifty
to two hundred men for several months in
the year, who would otherwise never illumine
its extended and airy precincts with the light
of their honest [good ''goak" on honesty j
and smiling eountenances; and fills up spa
cious residences and business rooms which
would otherwise remain unoccupied. When
the Legislature goes home. Topeka can in
deed be called the -city (?) of unoccupied
buildings.
The war news creates the greatest excite
ment among the citizens and members. Ev-
cry evening, long before the Leavenworth
dailies arrive. the drug store of Kellam
Bros. where the post ofice is kept, is
crowded with anxious men, awaiting ''the
companies have been organized, and drill
nightly on the streets. Captain Cloud, oil
your town, spent several days here last week.
While here he drilled one of the Topeka
companies, and elected much praise for his
military skill. He is believed to be one OF
the best drillmasters in the State, aud il
the Kansas militia is ever called upon to act,
great things are expected of the Emporia
boys.
Several bills have passed the Legislature
In the past week-some of them very i'm
portant ones. As have sent them to you
for publication, shall not stop to discuss
their merits. A concurrent resolution, in
troduced by Mr.. Morrow, of Douglas coun-
ty, to adjourn on the 10th of May, passed
the Senate few days ago. 1t was voted
down in the House. Yesterday, the Gov
ernor laid before the Senate telegram from
several New York bankers, in reply to one

will be no such thing as long seige, which
might be raised by force from the Free

MISSOURI.

Our amiable neighbor over the border
has about made up her mind that she won't
secede-at any rate not until further notice.
st. Louis held the State ''leveP' until the
Secession froth and fury was expended and
the reaction commenced. The evidence OF
in the State is found in the fact that Gov.
Jackson, at first strongly in favor of imme-
diate secession, now recommends that Mis-
souri, preserve an EARNED neutrality" be-
tween the belligerents-slding neither with
the Federal Government or the Rebels.
The st. Louis Republican, the greatest
newspaper power in the State, takes the
same ground. Now, neither Claib Jackson
nor the Republican would take any such
position if they felt strong enough to carry
the State for Secession. The will is good
enough, but they feel that the people are
against such movement. So they step on
to middle ground and say that Missouri
will not secede. but that on the other hand,
she will not assist the Federal Government
in putting down the Rebellion.
We do not doubt that if fair, honest
vote, by ballot, of the people of Missouri
could be taken to-day, it would result
largely in favor of the Union. Missouri
will never go with Southern Confederacy.
She commands the center of the present
Union, and will not exchange this proud
position for that of frontier to any sort of
a Confederaey, Northern or Southern.
We are glad. for the sake of both sides
of the Border, that the people of Missouri
have taken a sober second thought. Kan
sas desires peace. But she will not submit
to repetition of 1856. Glands off" is
her motto. AS the tissues of peace or
war" on the Border rested with Missouri
we rejoice that her course is to be pacific.
