MILITIA. -- We saw a gentleman from Willow Springs yesterday. He said that they have a good company, well armed and ready at a moment's warning. There is a good company, well organized, in Kanwaka, and a good company in Lecompton township, ready for action at any time, should it be required. All the militia companies of the county should look well to a good supply of arms and ammunition. Let this be done, and the State is safe. -- Lawrence Tribune.
