| The Border War Between Kansss. a,,se
Missouri,
Some Of the people Of Kansas and Missouri
seem to have started little civil war uuon
their own account. "Bleeding Kansas has
been in trouble for the last half dozen years
| and is in hot water still. We have often ex-
pressed the opinion which we ow'take occa-
sion to reiterate, that most Of the suAerings Of
Kansas are caused by certain persons among
her own population. The abolitionists of that
State carry out the dogmas of Greeley and.
Wendell Phillips to their logical results. Their
''shrieks for freedom" which used to please
the Tribune so nightly, are generally accom-
panied with the war whoop and the riae shot.
They both preach aud practise the Mahometan
doctrine of killing off everybody who will not
give his assent to their doctrines Their
scrihed by General jim Lane, in his Leayen-
worth speech short time ago. Jim Lane said
thst he was once discussing the slavery question
with a Missourian. who declared that he was
FOR the Union as it was and the constitution as
it is" One Of Lanes audience shouted out,
"Where is the Missourian now 2" Sin He'll
replied this noble Senator Of the United States
"I left hiia IN the hands OF theSexccutioner."
The recent massacre at Lawrence by Guam
trells band Of guerilas was the signal ior a
fierce renewal Of this border war between Kan.
sas and Missouri. For long time the war
had been kept up by such affairs as that's
to whicASJim ZANE confessed; bnt Quaatrell'si s;
barbarous exploit again infuriated the people. I
Gu the 9th cf August meeting was held at!
I.eavenworth, the Mayor of the city presiding 4
aud before this meeting jim Lane made thed
speech from which we have just quoted. A.
resolution was then passed calling upon the
citizens OF the State 10 assemble ut PaoIa or,

ammunition and fifteen days subsistence jim
Lane promised to lead this armed mob to
ayenge the Lawrence massacre, aud he an
nonnced that his policy would be extermina

preservation ilserei shall be determination Of
the first tier of cou mites in Missouri and If that
won't secure u.s. Il zen the second and third tiers,
and tier on tier till we are secure" In tho
same strain he continued:---"i am willing 10

Isjor General Schofcld has issued an orde
stating that +" No armed bodies Of men, no
belonging to the United States troops or :
those portions Of the State militia Of Kansa
and Missouri which have been placed unde
the orders OF the department commander by tn
Governors Of the respective States, will be pei
mitted under any pretext whatever, to pas

of some such action on the part Of Genera
SchoHeid the ferocious Jim Lane declared q
Leavenworth that, ''if met by the military, h
proposed to carry the question to the hghe'
authority Of the government" adding the sig
: niicant threat, "Let him who dares interfer
with the people Of Kansas" Accordingl
President Lincoln has already been notified b
telegraph that Jim Lane thinks General Scht
field incompetent and wants him removed i'm
mediately. The administration has so ofte
submitted to the bullying dictation Of sue
men as Lane that we suppose this mand ate hs
been obeyed. and that, as is currently reported
General Hunter has been secretly sent to TAX
: schofeld's place. But we remember that HUI
ter squelched this Lane when he was In this
department before, and he may do so again.
When tho President removed General Curt
: from the Department of Missouri he wrote
note to General schoneld, giving him the con
mand Of the department, and informing hil
that General Curtis was relieved, not b.
cause of my full conviction that he had don
wrong by commission or omission, /" but becaus
the people Of Missouri "have entered into
