Much has been sid about Gen. jim Lane and his
policy since the Kansas brigade commenced MS ser
vice on the border Too much praise, Of course can
not be awarded him or the noble body of men, who
hafcl Jihedand haf-eGuipped by forced marches, by
severe effort and grea; sacifces drove the Secession
forces awav from the border, and saved Kansas from
| the dire results of war.
Bnt let il be remembered that since that brigade
went South and since it went into Winter quarters
at Fort Scott, sscesh" has again gained the as
tendency in the counties of Clay, Cars, Jackson aud
Johnson, and the Unonists therein are left TO the
mercy of rowing bands of lawless and reckless men,
many of whom on returning from Prices army deter
mined TO drive out all tie loyal men from this seclon
Of the State
There are now in the county of jackson alone up
ward of 500 OF these returned Secessionss, led ty
such men rs Upham, Hayes, Cy. Gordon and Roaear
They are divided up in companies camping but one
