LETTER FROM LAWRENCE.

EDITOR News: Rejoice with US A
new era is inauguratei. The days of fus-
tian and palaver have passed, and the days
of decisive and vigorous action are at hand
No more administering of oaths to traitors
and bridge-burners No more running
down and capturing seeessionists in order
to have the pleasure of giving them back
their horses and arms for fear of hurting
their feelings |! In short, no more fooling
with rebels, traitors, assassins and incendi-
aries Scoundrels who fire into cars, de
stroy unarmed men, women and newsboys,
can no longer carry On their hellish work
except at the risk of being shot if captured.
Read Gen. Fremont's proclamation of
martial law in Missouri, and rejoice that at
last we have '';he right man Gin the right
plsce''-a man who has the nerve to meet
an emergency. Goodbye to the milk-sops
and the epaulette dandies Goodbye to the
dshwater and bread-pill system of curing
traitors Welcome the return to the good
old prescription of ''hemp for the leaders
and grape for the ranks Welcome the
energy and decision of ''ths man for the
hour !"
"All hail to Fremont, swell the lofty acclaim
Like winds from the mountains, like prairies
ahame. .sF
Once more the Pathfinder moves on in our front,
And our hearts shall keep time 70 the march of
Fremont" t-- s.t-
The reading of the proclamation in this
oil tod Gya
ed with new light-every step grew frmer
and more elastic In fact the news of a de-
cisive victory would hardly have produc
ed more exhilerating effect upon the peo-
pie of this city.
Meanwhile the news from Washington,
meager as it is, gives assurance that Gen.
Nc CleIlan in command of the Army of the
Potomac, is displaying scarcely less energy
and decision than Fremont in the West, and
that he has concentrated an army of not
less than 195, 1000 men, who will soon be
in state of complete and effective discip-
incorporated to wipe out the stain of the
Bull Run disaster, and to crush out this
hell born rebellion with heavy hand. Let
every loyal heart De of good cheer, for We
shall live and not die There is a recuper-
alive energy in freedom that viii rise with
renewed strength and vigor fiom every de-
feat, and gain courage and determination as
well as experience from every fresh disas-
ter. The sun of our prosperity has not
set forever, but only suffered an eclipse,
though every vile and hateful beast has
gone forth to prey, thinking it to be mid
night Woe TO them, for the sun shall
soon again shine forth in its meridian splen-
dor J. a. -scs-e =-as III -E.
Captain Walker, of the First, and Cap
tains Cracklin and Ayres, of the Second,
are in town, aud are received with the
hearty welcome their gallantry deserves. I
learn that Lieut.. Fuller of your place pass
ed through here on Monday night, on Wis
| it to his family. All honor to the heroes
of Springfield Kansas will reckon every
officer and private of her gallant First and
Second among her jewels. The Mother of
the Grachi was not prouder of her sons
| than Kansas will be of hers.
am happy to learn that both Regiments
are ordered home to recruit, and doubtless
the Emporia boys viii have an opportunity
of visiting their friends before many days.
