GEARY: SIR:--_Secretary Woodson thought you had better come to the camp of the militia as soon as you can_.

THEODORE ADAMS.
Before this dispatch reached Lecompton the Governor had departed with three hundred United States mounted troops and a battery of light artillery, and arrived in Lawrence early in the morning, where he found matters precisely as described.

Skillfully stationing his troops outside the town, in commanding positions, to prevent a collision between the invading forces from Missouri and the citizens, he entered Lawrence alone, and there he beheld a sight which would have aroused the manhood of the most stolid mortal.

About three hundred persons Were found in arms, determined to sell their lives at the dearest price to their ruffian enemies.

Among these were many women, and children of both sexes, armed with guns and otherwise accoutered for battle.
