The prospect in Pennsylvania Has grown
brighter'timl brighter from the opening of the
campaign, Every day has announced the
adhesion of leading democrats to the cause of
Fremont, But recently theelnquenl John M.-

Teylor, have declared for the Pathfinder. —
Slilflater, the distinguished Wm. J. Dunne,
Edward Coles, the intimate friend and confi

support of “ the Conqueror California.’’—
When'such men come from the retirement of

indeed. From every part of the State reports
are cheering, and the prospect of success
greatly strengthened.

I heed not restate the circumstances which
led Co). Harvey to start to Lane's assistance
; with a force of over 100 men. It appears
now that the people here sent a dispatch, to
Geary slating the case,.and recounting some
of the outrages which that body of Ruffians
were every day perpetrating upon Free-Staie
men, and asking him whether it would be
right to go to their assistance ? To this Gov.
Geary replied by a messenger, who never
reached Lawrence , that they must not go.—

though mol incessantly, for aboul five hours,
and just as the artillery were taking their
third position, a Hag of truce appeared. The
hostilities now ceased, hut Col. Harvey told
(fie /lag-hearer that until the black flag which
floated over the fort was taken down,, he
would listen to no propositions. The flag was,
immediately hauled down and destroyed by
themselves, each protesting that he did not
help raise it. An agreement was th’en entered
into that they would retire and disband peace
ably. There were three Free-State surgeons
along, and some of Ihese volunteered to dress
their wounded. They had three killed and
seven wounded. The Free-Slale men had
five wi-unded. They (the Ruffians)numbered
eighty men, arpted with United Stales mus
kets, knives oad revolvers.
At <5 p. m. the Free-State men marched
bafk to the ‘ place where they had resled in
the morning, and in t|ie mean lime had sent
theirsurgeons to Lawrence with the wounded.
They reached the mill where they intended to
camp for the night. Col. Harvey had been

answered affirmatively. He then inquired fbr-
Harvey, some'oneisaid he was. not' there.—
He then ordered the Free-State men to fall
into line. About-fifieen did so; He then in
formed them that they might consider them
selves prisoners. He was then asked upon
what authority he acted. He replied, “By
authority of the United Stales, dnd by order
of Gov. Geary.” He told them that they must
lay dawn their arms also. Capt. Bickerton,
ofthe Free-State Artillery, said that, of course,
they would not resist ihe United States troops,
and Avotild lay down their arms, provided he
(Wood) would be responsible for them. -This
was promised,' and - the prisoners were
marahedj without food, the same night in the
direction of Lecompion, where they arrived
Ihe next morning (16th) at 8 o'clock. Here
they were-drawn up in line, and the Pro--

“ wiped out" last evening, and other things
calculated to excite them to a quarrel. But

I have refrained, thus far, from comment
ing to the disadvantage of Gov. Geary upon
these facts, although these facts are made the
premises from which, without a very intricate
mode of reasoning, ii is assumed that bis in
fluence is against the Free-Stale cause. True,
he may be able to show' the wisdom of his
policy, and such wisdom may be self-evident
to the Buchanan organs of the nation ; yet he
will' probably find that there are other ele
ments than Budmnanism at work in the pop
ular heart. I have no doubt at all that Gov.
Geary means well, but when'we remember
that he is surrounded by the same botch of
Territorial officers which surrounded Shan

oTer jhjuf and. wield more hr less in

What the ParageoJ the Arm;
Bill means.
By the closing scenes of Congress an issue
is made uo for the people io decide, between,
the Republicans on lhe one side and.the.Pro>'
Slavery Buchanan and Fillmore men on- the
other. The former insisted that tls army
ought- not to be emploved to enforce the
‘bogus’ laws of Kansas. The latter demanded
and have secured not only the enforcement of,
those “laws,” but their enforcement by United
States arms, men and money.
