The tales begin to tbicllcn Of the NUM-
bers Of desert'ons in thcr;Del armies. we
accept them with some allowance, and
prefer to withhold full crsdence until we
see the next rebel army in the field. Dis
heaTtenment there certainly Is, but the
rebel commanders are not madmen or idi-
pts to allow their forces to drop away
from them pieccmeal. They have before
time set It's an example Of rigid discipline
that has shamed some Of our own com
manders. Let no reader Of the TRIBUNE
1eliege the war finished without further
stern and stiff collision Of armies in the
field. The Confederacy will die hard, but
die it must.
The news from Charleston is encoura-
ging. Gen Gilmore is pounding away
with his e00,pounders, and sunter is nj

under Gen. Banks. It is sure to transpire

LEAyEfwoRTH, Aug. 21.-About o'clock
last evening, the gueril1a chiet, Quantrel,
with force about 500 strong, crossed from
Missouri Into Kansas, near the town Of Gard-
ner, sixty miles below hero, md Immediately
started for Lawrence, arriving before that
town at O'Clock this morning.
BE posteda guard around the city, SO that
the citizens could not escape, and with the
remainder Of his men commenced pflagirg
The stores, shooting citizens and firing houses.
A gentleman, who managed to escape. secre~
led himself in d corn1eld near the town. BE
reports that be SWAN the river at o'clock,
ard on reaching the bluffs on this side, he
had . plain riew Of the city, which WIS then a
sheet Of flames. From what he saw, he thinks
the loss would reach two millions Of dol
Lars, aud by this time perhaps much
moro, us they seemed determined TO destroy
everything that would burn.
Ne cannot learn that any resistance was
madc, tie citizers being taken completely by
surpzise-::he first alarm being the cracking
of flames and the shouts Of tho rebels. Jas.
II. Lane was In the city, and 1t is feared Ia
has ta11kn Into the hands Of the guerillas, as
it vas a1most Impossible to escape through

AIarge number Of Union troops was sent
in pursuit of the rebels, but with what sue
cess, it is not Jet learned.
Major Anthony, Of this city, issued procla-
mation, statirg that the people Of LeaYea.
worth need not apprehend any trouble, but
requests every able:bodIed citizen to provide
himself with the best arms he can, and hold
himself In readiness to aid our friends in any

He censu1es the General commanding the
district. who, he says, with five thousand
troods under hts command, has allowed few
hundred guerlllas to get fifty miles into the
interior, burn city, and destroy two NIL
lions Of dollars worth Of property. He init.
mates that the citizens must depend upon
themselves for defense-city and State.

the homes of the border, IRE here can little
comprehend, are the results Of General
schofeld's pro~s1avery malignity:
The end is not yet. Kansas men are
not casily dishcartened, and they will take
deep and terrible vengeance on the rebel
prowlers. The act Of Quantrel has fixed
in that Department the limit Of the subser-
vicncy Of military rule to Coppcrheadism.
Hereafter, matters will begin 10 mend. 1t
will be seen that there are worse men in
the border than those who strike hard
blows for Liberty. It viii be seen that
there can be no worse man in military
command than he who read, lis duty, to
eayc Slavery first and the Union later.
Kansas did not need this bitter lesson, but
it will bear fruit for other portions Of the
Department in which this very tragedy
has been these months past preparing.
