' A private letter from Olivet Powel, (or Paul.) formerly in the employ of Mr. Edward Allen, Sen., and known as a reliable and. worthy man, has been handed - us'. He wr,itesfrow Lawrence, Kansas, under date of Sept. 6, and states that they .(the army under Lane) were then engaged in repelling the ruffians. He says "\Ye chased (lout)• le our number a week ago, itt. Black Jack, about 30. miles south of Lawrence. We were drawn up in battle array, with the gallant Lane at our head, but ,they ran cowards. On the 4th of this monet we marched fir Lecomp ton.-• or 'rather two miles this where Stringfellow was encamped at the resideedd of Clark,- the Indian agent who murdered Barbour last fall. They heard «c were on the tharclr af ter them, and fled to Lecompton. We wont dime, fortified on the hill, and demanded the release of the pris oners (the fourteen mentioned in other accoents as held by the pro-slavery, party) whom they had taken while at tending peacfully to their business.. While making the demand, Col, Cook of the IT.. S, troops, came in between us and the town;and told eur com mander that ho was there to prevent bloodshed , but after we had taken our positions, and Gen. Lane had giv en instructions for bombardiniz the' town ; Col. C. interfered n-3 further, and acting Governor Wilson'sbon gave the assurance that our demands should he complied with, and anything done that was in his power. Had you been there, you would have seen a sight worth traveling -all the way from the Smoky City to see. No doubt you ; have hoard a great deal of Southern Fhivglry, but I would. riot disgrace the flame of ehivalry by so miscalling them. I called it cowardice, when I saw them running before us, or trembling where they stood. They have been commit ting gross outrages in this part of the country. They burned six houses on the 2d and 3d of this month, after tak ing everything valuable in there. They went to the house of your neighbor, Thomas Oliver, and after taking dvery- Oiing out of the house that was of use, they seized the wife of lien . i.ilancock, late of Fifth street, took her ring; from her fingers, setrched her pock ets, taliing all the money she had, and then set fire to the stable'adjoiningithe house, where Mr. Oliver had his panel doors, sash, and all such materials of his new house, and' burned them all up—.-Mr..Oliver. having fled to the U. camp for protection, Their strong hold now ts Leavenworth city; as they have 'driven all the freesoilers away,. -save those they have murdered.

''liut all is probably for the best. We have built a largo fort of the ruins of the. lintel, melted the type belong .ing to the _Herald of Freedom into can lICM and rifle balls, and sent a few cop ies to Col.

"I frgot - to mention that when W.O. were on the heights at Lccompton, .laeptity Maashal came up to arrest our officer: • lle t.dil Col. Cook that he was a U.

We are indebted to a gentleman who reached this city yOterday evening, direct from Kansas, f,r the follo;% big interesting communication respecting Kansas affairs : ST. LOULi, Sept. .1556 -431 EA ri Sin : Thu border county pa pers of this State,-or soma Of them, at least, have adopted and are pursuing Most vigorously a. course of wholesale misrepresentation in regard to Kansas affairs.. I have just ar:ived from Law• rence, having left - there on Thursday last, and with your :permission I will correct a few of' tlic-tatements made by the border papers and copied into swne of your city papers. Th e K an . sas. City Enterprise spcalis of the rob,. bury of' a Santa Fu tt ain By a _Free State State company. It is true that forty or fifty head of cattle, with ten wag ons, ret urning. from - the Plains, were captured and brought into Lawrence. he commander of tho Free State army-immediately wrote a note to-Mr. M:Kinney to whom t he train belonged, stating the facts in the case, and as sun ing him that the cattle and wagons would be given up at, a certain place. There were no contents in the wagons, as is falsely stated by the EastcrprLec. Gen.-Lane also An ought the attention of Mr. M'Kinney to the entraps com mitted by • Missourians on innocent people . traveling through Missouri. Their property has beetz stolen re peatedly, and they -themselves been obliged to turn back to the East: If the Missourians ale going to c6unte nancethis system of robbery, the Free State men.of Kansas must also adopt it in simple self defense. Gen. Lone gave Mr. M'Kinney notice to ( that ef fect, at .. the same timo causing his property to be returned to him. rliese are the facts in the case. I will war rant you tliat the editor, of the Kansa: Guy Enterplise .will . never publish them. Does not the editor, of that . paper know that some-Masourians iy the border counties are trying to star re the people of .Lawrence, and that at Leavenworth a short time since, they took.,posse.ssio t of a. traip of wagon.; sent by the firm of lintchinson & to brjngto Lawrence a cargo of pre visions which . they had shipped frorri St.- Louis via Leavenworth ? These. wagons and teams they still .have the posses ion of, and the provisions, to gether with a large quantity of, Mer chandise received by Majors & Russell for the Lawrence people, have been distributed among;the Border RUillans, so that the editor:and the world must see that reprisals are necessary . for self-defense. • . ..On Tuesday last, Gov. Geary ar rived at Ft. Leavetivroith en route for { EDITOR & PLTBLISLIER Lecompton, the Territorial seat of , government. had the good fortune to be present at the fort on his arrival, and learned -his views upon the diffi culties, and the course ho designed pursuing , He declared that peace should ho restored to the Territory at. all hazards ; that every one who was not an actual settler should he driven nut ; anjd that the rights of all ma r t should be protected ; and ho has the appearance of being a - man .of his word. I. felt that the hour was pro pitious for the Governor to discover . the .true situation of affairs in the Ter ritory—the tight, and tho wrong—for the Ruffians were murdering men in Leavenworth, and about fifty families had taken refuge in the fort. In order •to.get, these families . out of the-Conn try, the Mayor sentWOrd Gen.Smitla that these families might return to their . homes, asthere %vas no dang rt. - Although the Ruffians had taken possegsion of many of their dwellings and occupied, theM as quarters. file result was that G e n. Smith considered it a gOod ez case, and ordered them all to leave by 3 p..m. the riextgday; thus drivipg them away from the only 'place of pto- tection left. Some of the officers tin the fort told them not to leave unless driven out at the point of the bayonet; for the flag of the United States was bound to protect them. About 'll o'clock the Rev. Mr.- Nute, brother-in:law of the murdered Hepps, came to:the fort, and demand ed an audience with the Governor. which he obtained. - He stated to him that two weeks before,he and Mr.Jolin Wilder started from. Lawrence in double carriage to try and. recover the body of Mr. iopp - s. While in the road between Lawrence and Leave nworth, they wero taken prisoners by Capt. Emery and . company, and their team taken from them, This Emory is the mail contractor in the Territory. has a bang-dog look, is a blood-thirsty ,cut-throat, tied has-thirty of the sane sort of, devils under his command.. They carried them to Leavenworth and threw diem into. a 7 by 9 dungeon, where 'there were- thirteeu 'others, without ventilation, and bread and water to live on. Here they lay-for twelve days. While Mr. Nute was relating these facts, to the Governor, the valorous Captain camp up the steps to pay his respects to the Goy.. when Mr. Note Charged him with the above acts before' the Gov., and- the Captain excused himself by Saying he acted under orders. The Governor sail as FOMI as he arrived at Lecomp- . ton . he should attend to all these mat ters. The Captain paid his respects. and they both left. About 2 o'clock p. m., Sergeant 'arey of Capt. Sackett's company of dragoons, came riding post haste from the direction of Leavenworth City, and presented himself before Gen. Smith and- Gov. Geary. Immediately after there was an exceeding buStle and falling into the ranks of the soldiers, and a: body of 'some two hundred of them marchel • off . toward the Two heirs later they returned, march ing thirty horsemen between their ranks, and under cover of their rifles, with flue° citizens in the rear. These horsemen were marched up po headquarters, and the General atd Governor coming out, they Nvere or dered to form a - line before them. 'I now learned the state of the case. Mr. Whitman, Mr. Wilder, and_Mr. Suth erland, applied to Col. Cook at lre compton loran escort to go and find Mr. Note and Mr. Wilder's son. He sent them fo Capt. Sackett, who gave them Seigeatit Carey,.a very prudent and brave officer, as an' escort. When within a- few miles of 'Leavenworth 'City, Capt. Emory's.company fell up on them, took them prisoners, and carried them i Ito the city. Here, however, the Sergeant made his es . cape-and made for the fort. The re-' suit was that two hundred troops were ordered out, and the'Whole company taken prisoners, and are now detained in the fort. .This ! . lay's work opened the eyes of the Crovernor and his su he; - fi,r heard them all say that they belitved the; country to be:infested with bat.- (146 and tobbers, from other State% and that the people were abused ani . oppressed, by outside - political gam blers ap4 their myrmidons.
