"ANOTHER LETTER FROM KANSAS

We ahve the pleasuyre of laying before our readers another interesting letter form our attnetive correspondent, Capt. Bell. We hope he will nto take up the "pre emption claim" he mentioned in his letter, but that he will adhere to his promises and let us hear from himn often. His letter is dated:

CAMP FRANKLIN, K. T.

(4 miles form Lawrence)

May 15, 1856

Mr. Editor: -- On my arrival at Werst Point, last Tuesday, I found an express rider with warrants to arrest Gov. Robinson, Reeder and Brown -- also calling on the citizens of the Territory to report themselves at Lecompton. I immediately, with several of the Boys, started for Franklin Town, distance some 40 miles, and here we are encamped some 100 of us. Seven miles from here is another camp. At Lecompton our forces are increasing. We cannot ascertain the strength of the forces at Lawrence, but they are making a great display, and seem to be determined not to give up. The U. S. Marshall will make an attempt to arrest some 40 or 50 men and we will accompany him as a "posse" and before we leave we will demand their arms and cannon, which, if they have any pluck, they will not give up.

Last night our Guard arrested a wagon on its course to Lawrence with a load of Carbines and Sabres, which we took. We expected an attack and stoode tooru arms half the night -- we look for it to-night, but are prepared. With a detachment of 12 men to-day, I marched 5 miles to intercept a wagon of ammunition. It was mud, mud, mud, knee-deep -- it was "some" but the boys like it first rate. They are restless for a fight, and I think they will get it.

The Lands of this country are beautiful beyond conception, but there is not timber enough. It is now too late for settlers to emigrate this year. I would advise no one to emigrate to this country unless their means [are] sufficient to purchase an agricultural outfit, and lay in provisions for a season. It is a great country and no mistake; but it is not so easy for men to get work, and there are many here seeking it.

May 19th.

A press of business and being very unwell compelled me to lay this letter aside. We ahve been very busy. To-morrow is the day set apart, to visit Lawrence. We expect to be resisted, but 4 or 500 determined men can do a great deal. I visited Lawrence yesterrday and consider their fortificsaztions as unworthy [of] a name. My accomodations are such that I cannot write with any satsifaction; and acting as the commander of this camp, in place of Maj. Moon, who is sick, requires the whole of my time. If I do not take a pre-emption claim of 6 feet by 3 you shall here [sic] from me again.

Yours in haste,

E. B. BELL
