A Fremont Mass meeting was held

LATE FROM KANSAS. '
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.
While I am'Writing our officers are in
council, to .. cleCide . Whdther . to attack
Leavenworth chi. We may have to
march in less than an lour.
, "You and the friends of Liberty and
Free Kansas have nothing in
.our acts
to .be ashamed of. We have done
nothing but what the whole civilized
wotld will endorse; but while we are
thus etigarred in warfare, traveling
frOro 01 . 0 ty to forty miles per day, in
skirmishing patties, the.enemy retreat
ingas we advance, they are well pro
vided with tine .fleet horses; we have
to travel on foot, and sometimes be a
whole day without food. We would
have plenty oelmrses, but when our
bogus cotirts', DoMddion and dough
laced Shannon called the r ; "Kansas
militia" out of Missouti, chty,,ai they
ter or it; "messed," but really stole all
the. horses belonging to the Free State
men, before :they proceeded to burn
'the lintel at Lawrence.
''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. Tittis' fort, but they did
uot.like the way we sent the news to
them.
"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. S. officer, and claimed
l is protection antrassi,tance ; but one
.of our company told Cho Marshal that
he was a prisoner. and denim:ilea his
arms. He again appealed to Col. C.
but the Col. could do no;.hing in a case
like his. Ile: then gave up.tbe arms
and equipments, and it ‘‘ as a glad
Light to our buys that the U. S. troops
would net interfeie. When the Mat- .
shill was released he asked for) is arms,
and said that he did not care fur then)
save th . at t hey beJonged to the bogus
;Sh e riff Jones. At this the boys gave
three cheers that they had that villain's
pistols,: and wou:d tint 'give them up.

TM' TRUE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
We are indebted to a gentleman who
reached this city yOterday evening,
direct from Kansas, f,r the follo;% big

Most vigorously a. course of wholesale
misrepresentation in regard to Kansas
affairs.. I have just ar:ived from Law•

last, and with your :permission I will
correct a few of' tlic-tatements made
by the border papers and copied into

he commander of tho Free State

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,

the Missourians ale going to c6unte

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 &

not an actual settler should he driven

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

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

and a: body of 'some two hundred of

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

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
