TROUBLE AT LAwRENcE.-The people
of Lawrence have experienced . good
deal of trouble with the boys of the Kan
sas l4th, and feared for q while, that .
raid upon the city would be made BY
them. The 14th were never noted as be-
ing q particularly quiet set !; but to q
looker-on, it appears that in this case
they have had reason to become incensed.
They were mustered out ct Fort Gibson,
but not paid of; but they were immedi-
ately marched to Lawrence, where they
have been lying for more than month.
at an expense to every one of them. 1t
looks to them, as to others, that the plan
were to make them spend their spare
change in that city, and to run in debt so
deeply, that by the time they are dis.
charged. the psy due them will be gob-
bled up by Lawrence. The boys want
to get home. and to have something, when
they get there, to show for the hardships
they have gone through during the last
two years. 1t don't agree with human
nature to be imposed upon.

enough to demoralize it very nearly past

regiment got the bad name which subse-

exact are they, that these "takes" are cut

spacing toward the end, in order to make
