who know Gen. jim Lane know that every able
bodied man who wishes to enlist under him, what
ever bis color or condition. will be welcomed; and
that he will solve the problem Of the war without
the issuing of procIanations The letter OF instruo-
tons to Senator Lane STYLES him, Commissioner
for Recruiting in the Department Of kansas ann
authorizes him 20 form camps, and to make re1uis'
tiong upon the General Commanding the Department.
and bis subordinatos for whatever supplies be may
require.
These officers are directed to give him all that be
aska. and as the views of Gen. Blunt, who commands
the Department are known to be similar to those Of
Gen. Lane, there can be no doubt that they will
work harmoniously together. If Gov. Robinson
commissions the officers whom Gen. Lane appont
well and good. If not, the Secretary of War prom
i,o, to DO II. There were c, 400 loyal black emf.
grants from adjoining States in Kansas al the last
advices and it is believed that the arrival Of Gen.

one with respec to the appointment OF Senator Lane
