The ENGLIsH PEOPLE FOR PEACE
The desire of the English people for the
preservation Of reace with this country,
and the interpretations Of the Lon
don press which are believing for a
war. is well exhibited in the following
extract from the London Review con-
cerning the Royal volunteers:
The volunteers are resigning in every
direction. In one county an entire corps
has been disbanded-in many others
the companies are being so rapidly
thinned that they must soon collapse
unless fresh support arrives. The me-
tropolis is not better off than the provin-
ces. Every Gazette contains notifica-
tiOns of the designations Of officers, and
we are informed that in certain corps a
diminution in number is going on at the
rate Of twenty or thirty every week.

~ Ge neral Jim Lane, in his last in,
terview with the President, was direct.
ed to "put the war in bis division
through" Judging from his staff, this
will be done. They are nearly all men
who have been rendered desperate, by
the 6endish conduct of A. t0''lVl ruf-
mans IN the Kansas war.
For instance Col. Jannison who is
by profession physician. formerly from
Livingston county N. York. His wife
and only child were one day standing in
their own door, looking at troop ol
rufians going from Missouri to Kansas
TO elect the first Senatorial Legislature.
They were both shot dead BY the vii
lsins and now Col. Jannison is jay
hawker. Is it any wonder?
Jack Montgomery is Kentuckian by
birth, a clergyman by profession, a
highly educated gentleman. The Bor-
der ruffians went to bis house in Kan
sas. took him prisoner, tied him to tree,
and violated the person of his wife, a
refined and accomplished lady, right
before his eyes. The iron entered his
soul, and the revenge which Montgom-
cry will exact from the pro slavery re-
bells will be fearful. So of nearly all
the others composing Lanes staff. At
one time or another they have been
made to feel the deadly fangs OF the
slave power. Now the tables are turn
ed, and we may well believe that to
such men, the request to "put it
through" will not go unheeded.
