 The destruction of lawrence, Kansas, by Quantrell and bis band of murderers was a most horriblepiece of work. ;. The list of kiIlsd and wounded citizens is said to number lS0, the majority of whom were killed outright. Among those killed were the Mayor and his son, aud a number of other prominent citizens all shot down in their own, houses,. in the midst of their families. Pillage and murder has not before during the war been carried to such fearful extent, even by the miscreapts who compose Quantrell's band. General Jim Lane, it now appears, succeeded in making bis escape from the town on horseback, and rallied twenty men, with whom he pursued the mur, derers. though with no success. It is doubtful whether they can be oyertaken before they will have disposed of their plunder and dispersed. The loss at Lawrence. it is estimated, will amount to aboutatwo millions, which. will fall heavily on New York as well as Lawrence mer- chants. The people Of Lawrence, it appears, were wholly unprepared for this attack, and they received no assistancs from the military in the district until too late to avert the calamity
