AUTIIEXTIC ACCOUNTS FROM KANSAS. [ The following is a large portion of a letter front c Kansas i* the Baltimore Sun, which that paper en- f dorses as I rum one who occupies "a position which " enables him to obtain reliable information respect- , ing the movements of Gov. Gcnry and the results ci * -of the sann:" ' "On the 11th of September, the new Governor, ? John W. Geary, made his appearance at Lecompton. Getui- ReiJ, lleiakel and Atchison, with un ( army of 2,700 men, were approaching Lawrence with a fixed purpose to utcipi ?f out" of esii<kjnce l.atie, from his headquarters at Topeka, was devastating the country in that neighborhood. un<l each party was resolved to ezttrruinate the other as the ( " only hope of peace. To exhort contending factions, so filled with bitterness and hate, to forbearance and justice, seemed j" a hopeless and ungracious task. Uu: this liieli dntv tJ-overnor (Jonry ni once energetically undertook (] to perform. and in spite of nAninjIy invurtnoiint:.We obstacle* h* success has been inslaut uud coml,<hBtc . ... l! To giv.- yon mi inmost imo K.uivu nfF.irs, and enable you appreciate the true ntnte of things, it ts ncocssnry to nay tlint there are two loading parties here, with n third hanging like cainp followers H upon the skirts ?d both. These parties I will term lit* Pro-Slavery party, the Tree Slate party, und the Plunderers. There is now a fourth party springing up here, composed of the honest, lawgiving men of both putties, incladirg the substantial squatters; mcu who have only tho trnc interests ' of Kansas at heart, whom I will d.sign ito "the '' friends of Kiuian* and the Union." " Without desiring to discuss the causes which f" have led to so disastrous a result, 1 confidently state t that the hate and bitterness between the pro slave- 8 ry and the free state parties had grown so intense, ' that a deadly determination was formed locxirrmi- 11 tiato each othor. Each aide had consequently or- t ganixed bands of arme-1 followers in their employ, v stimulated by mutual hate and fear to the fearful purpose of mutual extermination. * The pro-slavery men attacked Ossawnttotnie, burned and sacked the town, and murdered many of its inhabitants. Scenes were committed here of ^ which the pro-slavery leaders were nnhaincd, and j which they unhesitatingly denounce, hut which j, were the natural result of the stute of public feel- 0 Inp. 3 The free state irtcn from Lawronea suK?<-mi?iitlv : * tucked Hickory I'oint, and cannonaded it for six , e hoars, killing a number of persons. This occurrence happened aohsequently to Gov. Geary's pro- ^ vlamation commanding tho disbanding of all un- I |, authorized bands of arrncd men?and but a day or ? two after his arrival at I>ecomptou. The Governor's 1 dragoons were dowu upn *hese men, and 101 j, were handsomely captured and brought to l,ecomp- w ton. This was the first indication of energy on the j c, part of the government, and at ouc? had a most : 0 beneficent effect. ; n Thu next incident of importance was the.move- , ?] irtent nf the army under Generals Reid, Heiskel | j, and Atchison, with 2,700 Missouriaue, upon Law- ,j rcnoc. The moment tho news reached tho Gover- j ^ nor ho at onco went to Lawrence with the United &tate dragoons, and by a frank, manly statement of (l his policy and his dote* >.ination to govern the j 'j oountry himself, reading his proclamation command- > (l ing all armed bands of men to dislamd at their |?eri), \ appealing to the patriotism of all true-hearted j tj Americans, and promising future protection to life and property, the Governor succeeded in turning . back the Miaaourians, and without spilling one drop t| of blood they agreed to disband and return to their homes. They linve gone, and the black flag which t| they brought into this territory, indicating that no , t( quarters were asked or would be given, has been J y lowered, and I trust it will never be raised in this ^ Americat^JJmon again. ? it,.

This jQ was a great moral victory, and has been followed w by lha most benificent results. He saved Lawrence, fl, the largest city in this territory, with its churches ^ and school houses, from the flames, and its inhabi- w tants from the sword, and at the same time satisfied m its besiegers tint their purpose was wrong, and that th they had taken the most direct oourse to injure the ]l]{ cause of law and order. ar. Gov. Geary has just returned to this place from ^ a visit to some of the river towns above this. He wont as farosTopeka, passing through Brig Spring j flj and Tecumeeh. lie was accompanied by loursqua- ' nn drone of (J. 8. Dragoons, commanded by Cols. cr Cook and Johnston. During the first day's jour- | no aoy it rained and stormed violently, and the party stopped all night at Tecumseh, a town beautifully i0( situated on the Missouri river, upon a high, healthy j, bluflT, pretty well wooded. The Governor here was the guest of Judge Elmore, who resides at | hn this pi sen and is a very intelligent, gentlemanly nn man. Camp fires were soon lighted, am) by their flu cheerful blaie and under their revivifying influenco yo good humor and good cheer soon prevailed, and the Ctt welkin rnng with their merry songa and the sheer- rp| fullaugh of the soldiers. The next morning the Governor and eeeort proceeded to Topeka, tha headquarters of tho notorious Jim Lane. He was among the missing, and ar< wdi reported to be oat of the territory. Tupeka is beautifully eituated near the Kansas river, on a high Jo level plan: It contains several hundred inliabi- eei toots, with a number of fine house# already built w* and many other* in progress of ereolion. All th< building with all other kinds of business wm entire- an ly suspended, and lor the time being entirely paral- he yzed. The Topekeans slept on their arms and the cit women were in terrori oo When it was ascertained that the Governor was wi unongst them, the leading men at once called upon th< him, and n most interesting interview ensued, lu ug l fruuk, manly munner the Governor stated his Hi mission and policy, und required their co-operntion br n the restoration of order. pn Tho Topekeans were remarkably fastidious and ex precise; disposed to be quite intractable) and one aw man in a bold innnucr gave the Governor to un- ou krstand that he might suppose himself to bo the Is1*1 Governor, but ho (the speaker) considered Mr. ttobiuson as the real Governor, and that he consci- bit mtiously felt that he owed fealty to uo other. Many eei ithcrs wished to inteirognto the Governor, and r?i >thers desired to commit him to their own line of go > liey. To sll these persons he had but one reply: hit "Gentlemen, I eume not to treat with, hut to th, govern you. There is now in this Territory uo sh< ither Governor than John W.

Wlipn peace shall be rc- 1 iU?red, 1 will see that every man of you is protected ou n his political rights." The response was instant and enthusiastic. A rote was immediately passed to Buatain the Governor, and when he lelt the town of Topeka the peo- 1 ilc assembled en masse and gave six enthusiastic 1 dicers for Governor Geary. This was another rrcnt moral triumph, was deliglitfsl to eoutemptutc, ind is a bright festlier in the Governor's cap.

Tho minds of, we have reason to elteve, a large majority of the Northern people nve been lashed into a phrensy, in which sober- pd ess, thought, patriotic reflection ore unknown th? ne fanatical idea seems to hold it in complete sub- eril -ction, and there is no limit to tho excesses to { rhicb that idea may lead. So blind have they be- ; e,l( amo in its pursuit, that they have lost sight, not nly of all the proprieties of life, but of tho obvious I to] ml inevitable fruits of their own folly. It is boldly |u) IU god thut the Union is invulnerable, and let the i or ill do us it may, the South will submit, und inced, that "sho could not bo kicked out of the 101 Ininn."

During tho early part of the summer, ace and quiet prevailed generally through 2 Territory, pro slavery men and free soili were living on neighborly terms with :h other?differing with each other on 3 subject of slavery, as other political >ics. This quiet was of short duration, wever; all again became excitement, upon 3 news being spread through the Tcrriy that Colonel James II. Lane was irclring an auny of about one thousand iti from the Northeastern States into insas for tho purpose of controlling tho lilical destinies of the Territory; and some io in the latter part of July, or in the 'ly part of the month of August last, d Lane, under the disguised name of 1. Cook, with a regiment of armed men, insisting of, as variously estimated, from hundred to one thousand men.) entered > Territory on its northern boundary, af having marched in a body through the ito of Iowa and Nebraska Territory, to i Kansas line, entered the latter in small nchments, and again united after having rehed some distance into the Territory; )Ut two hundred of llii* arnit? MM f'o?" ns. Soon after this, anil between the and 12ih of August, ibis army marched ough tho counties of Lykins, Franklin 1 Douglas, robbing tho pro-slavery citi is of their horses, mules, provisions anil as, and commanding theiu to leave the Tilery, many of whom did so, with their lilies in a most destitute condition; othsought protection by flying to oilier U of the Territory and uniting with othpro slavery men, formed companies for purpose of protecting themselves against threatened assaults of Lane's party. In very short lime most of tho Abolition zens of the Territory armed themselves I united with Lane's party, swelling his iy to about fifteen hundred, (Lane says uity*two hundred.) On the 12lh of gust, at about 11 o'clock at night, a ipany of Lane's men, nuinbeiiug about > hundred and fifty, mado an attack on town of Franklin, where a small comiy of pro slavery men (about 14 in nutn) had collected and armed themselves protection. fine's party comineucod the attack by lg upon the house in which tho pro-slay men were; the fire was returned, and > ????? t after a Lot contest of some half hour or $ * more. Lane's party retreated, leaving screu 1 J of his men killed, and a mucli larger num- t ber wounded; ihev soon returned and set ( i fire to the house and burned it, and took all .1 its inmates prisoners. They then robbed | the post ofHce, and also the dwelling bouses t f of tho town?some six in number?of all r . their valuables, and returned to the town ' of Lnwrouce, at which placo Lano had es- f 1 tablished his hendquartors. c r A settlement, known by the nnmo of I i "tho Georgia Colony," which was compos* I I ed of a number of families from tho Stnto { of Georgia, settled in tho same neighbor- t hood with their farms adjoining each cth- 1 * er, on the south side of Kansas river, was 1 attacked on tho 23d August by a company I * of Abolitionists commanded by ? Drowu, { f and all the houses of the colony w ere b?ru- t * ed, and everything of value was destroyed t r or carried away by tlio victors; there were no woiueu or children at tho colony at the t * lime of tho attack; they had been removed ' j for safety, and hut few men were there nt < the time?six of whom were supposed to be t killed. t On tho ? day of August a company of 1 Lane's inen, about threo hundred in num- s her, inarched to a settlement called "Tread* I well's Settlement," in Douglas county, coin- 1 * posed of several families from the South, c settled neur each other with their slaves, r engaged in fanning. When the attack t [ was made they all took to shelter iu Tread- 1 t well's house. Tho house was soon besieged t by the Abolitionists. They then attempted I 1 to escape by (light, but many of tliein were c killed and wounded. *l'he houses wore > burned, and all the property of value taken ! t by Lane's party. f The next night a party of some two or j 1 three bundled of Lane's regiment attacked t the dwelling house of II. T. Titus, in which ' J some twelve or fifteen pro-slavery men had j taken icfugo after having been driven from 1 their own homes by the Abolitionists. Titus * and the men in his house were armed, and i I resisted the assailants foi come time, killing * I c 1 . r ii..:. ? - ? ? .... uu.v.n. vi invii men, auu compelled lliem 1 lo let rent, but the)' soon rcuewed the us- * sault by tiring u cannon several times i through the house, killing one man and so- ] verely wounding Mi. Titus and M. M. Hoi- s aey. They then made preparations lo sot c tire to the house, when Mr. Titus and the t others in the house surrendered. After Ti- i lus' parly were made prisoners, they com- f menced searching the house and premises s for Mis. Titus, and after spending some v 1 lime in hunting for her, they demanded of f | the prisoners where she was. They ittforiml e ' them that she was not there, but had been \ 1 sent away for safety the day before. They \ ' accused the prisoners of lying, that they ) ! knew she was there, and swore they would . r iiud her, and continued their search, and n ripped up the Moor of the house, and search- I i c i under it for her. They then robbed the 1 r house and all the prisoners, and burned the i c 1 house. . c After all these outrages by Lane's party,' I t the whole country was under the most in- r tenso excitement and alarm. Lane had es- c tablished his headipiartcrs at Lawrence, v and daily seuding out scouting and marau , !i > ding parties to plunder and rob, ai d in a . ? | short lime they had all the horses and , 'i i mules in the interior of the Territory in ; t , their possession, and the pro slavery men f | driven away, and many of ihetn murdered, i n i Lane was no longer in disguise; he now i: j openly declared that Kansas should be a t , fiee Slate at all hazards, ami that the pro- t I slavery men should all leave the Teiritory. I i The (iovernor of the Territory, in conse- l ! ipicnoe of these enormities, on the 25th t ! August issued his proclamation declaring s the Territory in a state of open insurrection p ' and rebellion, and calling upon all the law- | | abiding citizens aiul otlireis, civil and mili- 1 o j tary, of tlio Teiritory, to assist, by all means , p in their power, to put down tho insurrec- h lion. n The whole country now became divided v j into two great parties, tlio Freesoiiers \ having before armed themselves and joined Lane's regiment, and the pro-slavery men ' embodied themselves together for tho pur- P pose of resisting Lane and his party. Lane's 1 ^ party is a regular army, well foililied at e Lawrence, and protected by six or eight i pieces of artillery, and his men all well P armed with Sharpe's ritles and side arms. ^ The pro-slavery party are in detached P i parlies, and stationed in and about tho riv- P or towns, to protect tliein from L ine's at- ^ ; tack, Lane having full control of nearly all the interior portions of the Territory. On the :iOlh of August, a battle was fought between a company of two hundred ; and fifty pro slavery men, commanded by (Jen. Hied, and about two hundred Abcli- ' tionists, commanded by Drown, at Ossa- s? wattomio. Thirty of llrown's parly were h killed, and several wounded, an 1 tivu of k Keid's men were wounded. The town was g hoined by Hied's men, after the battle was r? over. (Jen. Hied tried to prevent the burn- h ing of the town, but sumo of his men wore c< so much exasperated ho could not control it them. , ft. On the 3d of September, Lane sent two a; hundred mounted men from Lawrcnco to ci me town or Tocumseh, (the citizins of litis N town were not armed or expecting an at- p j tack;) they completely *ncked the town. d< Tlicy had tivo wagon* which they tilled I fro i tho provision and other stores of the si town of great value.
