A special to the Democrat, from Lea

Paola yesterday organized by appointing
Lieut.. Gov. Osborne chairman.
The crowd in attendance numbered
over $500 armed men. Many were pre-
vented from coming By Gen. Schofeld' 5
order and the rain.
Gen. Lane was introduced aud spoke
in the open air for three hours, the rain
pouring down necessarily. He was very
bitter on Schotield and Gamble
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the policy now forced upon Missouri and
Kansas, which gives immunity to rebel
sympathizers and exposes loyalists to
massacre that elemency to guerrilas
and rebels is cruelty to loyalists; that
loyal people who furnish the army and
the popular power which sustains it, have
the legitimate right to a voice in the Sc
lection Of military commander to rule
over them. The re establishment of the
Department of Kansas is imperalively de-
manded that we cannot expect peace,
security, and success in the field, until
the vast territory embraced in their De-
psrtment is placed under the control of a
single commander-in- chief; that inasmuch
as the people of Kansas are able and will
ing to destroy bushwhackers, and their
services are refused by Sshoiield's order
No. 92, which prohibits them from cross
ing the line, we ask the military authori-
ties for rest aud security in future, and
for this purpose demand that they station
in every neighborhood in Southern Kan.
