One man excused himself for his neglect on the plea that his horses had been working hard the day before.

A telegram dated Leavenworth, 21st, says: Last evening Quantrell, with a force 800 strong, crossed from Missouri into Kansas, near the town of Gardner, 60 miles below here, and immediately started for Lawrence, arriving before that town at 4 o'clock this morning.
