Missouri ON KANsAs.-We have the st. Joseph
(MissourO Gazette Of the 9th inst. 1t is Dem
ocratic paper published on the western line of
Missouri, and of course close to the eastern
boundary of Kansas. We find in it the follow
ing:
Immigrants are pouring into Kansas. Many
Of them, we learn, are from free States. Missou-
rians are wide awake; scores of them have gone
and are still going into the territory. Hundreds,
we learn, are going in from Arkansas and Ten
nessee. Most Of those who settling in Arkansas
from the western free States, such as Indiana and
Illinois, are in favor of making Kansas a slave
State. Kentucky too is turning out her due pro-
portion of emigrants for Kansas, all of whom are
in favor of making it a slave State. We think
there is but little doubt that Kansas ciU be sldve
State, while we believe Nebraska will be free.,
A LUCKY FAmY.-In the present Congress
there are two members who are brothers-Israel
Washburne, Dr., who represents the Penobscot
district, in Maine, and E. B. Washburne. who rem
resents the Galena district, in Illinois. They are
both gentlemen of ability, and one OsraelI has
just been reelected in Maine, by majority of
nearly four thousand. The Illinois brother has
been nominated for re-eleetion in his district, and
will, unquestionably, be successful. Another bro
ther, MIR. @. G. Washburne, has been nominated
for Congress by his political friends in Wisconsin,
and his chance of an election is good. The three
are wings, and possess fine talents and If elected.
we presume it will be the first instance in the his.
tory of the country, that three brothers have held
seats, at the same time, in the u. S. House of
esentatives.-C Cincinnati Gazette.
5000 REwARD-At a meeting of the stock

my constituents felt an interest in the bill, after
my return went to Mr.. Rice, the delegate from
Minnesota, and asked for copy of the bill as it
one alteration, substituting the word s'and'' for
''or." then fixed other copies, and sent them
west to newspapers and parties interested and
called their attention to the effect of the bill"

QUITE AN ExcIrEMENT.-A COW belonging to
Mr.. Coulter was taken off the Nominee yestcr-
day morning, when it became perfectly wild, and
ran up st. Anthony street, attacking every thing
it met. When near the Winslow House, it struck
gentleman with its horns, sending him in the
air some six Or eight feet. The gentleman had
revolver in his pocket, which he thought of using
after he recovered from his fright. 1t theft rushed
into blacksmith's shop, where it was severely
beaten-out Of that it dove for Culver & Fon-
seca's store, but was prevented from entering it;
it then pitched at group Of men standing by,
and finally got in the swamp opposite the Wins
low House, where it was secured and conveyed
to its quarters.

THE REVIEW.

Early Yesterday morning many OF our citizens
repaired to Fort Smelling to witness the review of
troops under command of Maj. Sherman, by Gen.
Hitchcock. In consequence of some disorder at
the Ferry several loaded carriages were detained
at this point until after the Review had taken
place, and some left for home before an oppOr-
tunity occurred 10 cross the river. In view of
this detention, but few spectators were on the
field. vt | O'clock guns were fired by Company \.
Light artillery. under Maj. Sherman's command,
when Gen. Hitchcock, accompanied by Maj. Il.
b. Lee, L. S. \. DR.. McDougall, Capt. Car
penter of the First Infantry and Capt S. b.
Buckner, made his appearance on the prairie Ii
short distance from the St. Louis House, where the
troops We're in waiting 10 receive him. Here the
review commenced and lasted for two hours.
There were IL men with two brass twelve pound
howizers and , brass 6 pound guns, drawn by
four horses, and under command of Maj. Sher-
man, 1t. Andrew and IL. White. The troops
exhibited high order of dcipline and performed
admirably, loading and firing within ten seconds
of time, and firing when loaded in from one to
two seconds of time. Their maneuvrcs certainly
reflected high honor upon Maj. Sherman and upon
the army.
After the review some fifty ladies and gentle
men repaired TO the headquarters of Maj. Shcr-
man, where groaned table under the weight of
choice yiands, and where the Majors health was
drank in right good earnest.
We learn that the guns on this occasion were
the same as those used at the battle OF Buena Vis-
tn, by the troops Of Maj. S. who commanded in
person. They are beautiful weapons and were
handled with great dcxtcrity. One of the soldiers
was injured and was obliged to leave the field
His njurics not serious.
We should not forget to mention that a cons;d-
cradle number of the spectators were beautiful
females who appeared to be much pleased with
the parade.

talented officers, but none more so than those who

New PApER.-The s'FLAG OF SAINT CRoIx,"
is the name of paper to be published at Still
water, by Dir. p. Morarty. The paper will be
devoted to the advancement Of the best interests
of the st. Croix valley. In politics it will be
Wing, and Of course right on all questions con-
nected with western interests. Such paper has
long been needed at that place, and having had
some acquaintance with Mr.. Moriarty, we think
we can safely congratulate our Saltwater friends
on their prospect of having a good, sound and
reliable Wh:r organ.

Our country friends cannot be too
much on their guard against set Of
itinerans law-breaking pack. .pedlers,
who are frequently to be found i'll re-
tired neighborhoods, trading with
slaves and placing in their hands Oh
scene prints, calculated to excite and
arouse the worst creature passions,
and leading to the most revolving
crimes. The goods offered by these
illicit traders have too, in some instan'
ces, been found to be the cast off and
infected furniture Of u hospital, the
wearer Of which renders himself liable
TO many loathsome disorders. Such
things may be of rare occurrence, but
they have happened and it we're well
to be cautious. The only and most
sure way Of snppressing this kind of
trade is by handing over every travel
ling pedler to the nearest Magistrate,
who is authorised to commit them on
a refusal or inability to show license.
