when they do, many more will doubtless
be missing.
We have seen battle-fields and scenes Of
carnage and bloodsed, but have never wit
messed spectacle SO horrifying as that
scene among the smouldering ruins at
Lawrence. No fighting, no resistance,
but cold-blooded murder was there. We
give below list of the killed, and several
wounded
The 6ends finishered their murderous
work in nearly every case. The list is all
white men. "A few negroes were killed,
but we did not ascertain their names.

Maj. Plumb was at Blue Mound, five
miles east of Lawrence, when Quantrell
left town. He faild to aid Lane. Report
says Plumb's men denounced him for de-
Ginning to attack Quantrell. who offered
him battle.
At one point near Ottawa, Lane headed
off Quantrell. The rebels turned and
charged on Plumb, and drove him for about
a mile.
Ewing had telegram from his Adju-
tant at Kansas City the night before the
attack on Lawrence, but he did not leave
here until 2 o'clock p. NJ. the next day.
He then went to De Soto Ferry, about
twenty miles south of this place and twen-
ty miles east of Lawrence. At noon of
Saturday he was only ten miles south of
De Soto. He ought to have taken the
steamer Emile, which was at our levee,
and then leaving at the late hour he did,
he could have overtakon Quantrell, and
with 800 fresh men and horses could have
captured him.
This awful loss of life and property is
universally attributed to the incompetency
and inability of Schotield and Ewing.
We were promised security to our lives
and property. Our people have been
murdered and our property destroyed.
Will the Government protect us, or
permit US to protect ourselves?
The telegraph dispatches to the assoc-
ated press have been mutulated, and the
military authorities dare not let the truth
be told.
Our citizens have sent to Lawrence
long train taking provisions and clothing.
Twenty thousand dollars has been subscrib-
ed by our people for the immediate relief
Of the sufferers who were left without
clothing or food.
Persons just from Lawrence report that
the number of dead will reach one hun
dred and seventy, perhaps two hundred,
as bodies are constantly being found.
When last heard from Gen. Lane was at
Heckman's Mills, in Missouri, with his
half-clothed, half-armed men in pursuit.
He attacked Quantrell about ten miles
south of Lawrence, and kept up running
fight with him to Missouri, killing, up to
this time, nineteen of the rebels
Up to this morning, one hundred and
twenty-eight bodies have been buried, but
it is still utterly impossible to obtain a
complete list of their names, as many are
so much disigured as to prevent recog-
nizing them, while others are still missing,
and are supposed to be concealed in the
woods near by, or they may be in the
ruins Of the buildings; besides many left
with Lane in pursuit of the murderers,
and have not yet returned.
