END OF THE WAR IN KANsAs.--Thc telegraph

between the Free State and pro slavery men have
ceased We find the following in the ST. Louis
Democrat of the 10th instant f
We had an interview last evening with General
Shankland. just returned from the scene of the
late dfhculties In Kansas, giving very interest.
ing information OF the present pesitionof affairs In
the territory. He informs that the report pub.

totally Incorrect = -
Ihe propositions of peace came from Atchison
ana nhannon, at council held in Lawrence last
Friday and Saturday, at which treaty of peace
was concluded. To the demand made upon them
to obey the laws and deliver up their arms the peo
pie OF lawrence responded by protesting their
slant Willingness TO do the former, but fatty re-.
fusing to yield the latter point
On these terms hostilities were terminated and
the Missouri troops received orders Sunday
morning to disband- The Missourians were armed
with revolvers and double barrelled shot guns and
were for the most part mounted. They were en-.
campcd at Wakarusa on the road from Lawrence
to Westport, six miles from the former place. and
az Lecompton, on the Kansas river, ten miles west
of Lawrence being at no time more than six hun
dred strong at Wakarusa, or more than two hun
dred at Lecompton.
The free State men amounted to seven hundred
In Lawrence, all armed with Sharpe's rifles while
two hundred more could easily have been gathered
fear of the result had collision unfortunately
arisen.
The disbanding gave rise to general murmurs
and execrations of Shannon among the Missouri
troops Most of them reached w estport on Sum
day night having suffered intensely during the pre-
vous night from terrible storm of rain, snow and
wind, which terminated in piercing cold They lost
| many horses, some having been stolen by the In
dans, some having strayed away, and others having
died at Westport from fatigue. They lost many of
| their arms, also. -..
| The st. Louis Republican of the same date has
the following despatch from Boonville:
"The Missouri volunteers have disbanded and
returned home in disgust because Gov. Shannon
would not allow them to burn the town of Law
renee The aboltionists surrendered the indiyid-
| ais obnoxious to the law, and Gov Shannon then
demanded that they surrender their arms, but this
they refused to do, and there the matter rests"
| We find in the Glasgow Times, of Thursday, the
following dispatch, under date of the 9th, from
| Lawrence:
The abolitonists surrendered without battle
| gave up the persons demanded by the Governor,
and placed their at his disposal Two or three
abolitionists were killed The war is overi No

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock, soon after the
adjournment of Congress, the Hon. VIM. Smith,
NJ. c, from Virginia, met Mr. Wallach the editor OF
the Star, on the Avenue near the corner of
Eleventh street, and, accostng him, pronounced a
tion to himself, to be false. Mr. Wallach replied,
that if Mr.. Smith made that assertion, he pro-
nounced his assertion false; whereupon Mr.. Smith
struck Mr.. Wallach, and both combatants grappled
each other and contended manfully for the maste.
ry. AT length they fell to the ground with a
mighty shock; and by the force of the fall, as we
are informed, Mr. Wallach's bowie knife fell out
of its hiding place, and was thrown to some dis

When the parties fell Mr.. Wallach was upper.

OLD FOGYIsM OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
THE TRUE DEFINITION OF QUAoKERY.--We pub
lished yesterday on account Of the opening and
Inauguration Of a private medical institution in
this city-the Woman's Hospital-which has
been established mainly through the praise
worthy efforts Of DR.. Marion Sims, in the course
of the last twelve months At this meeting
elaborate speeches were delivered by some of
the leading members Of the medical profession,
fuch as1Drs Francis, Horace Green, Gilman,
Foster, Dixon, and Sims.
We have observed amongst regular medical
practitioners, and medical schools generally, a
great desire to figure prominently in the col
umns of the widely circulated journals of the
day, provided they could escape the RESPONSE
bility Of being charged with placing in evidence
before the community, through this medium,
their own talent and skill. Both the medical
schools Of this city are In the habit Of frequent
ly soliciting publicity through the columns of
the newspapers; and, in tact, every medical
and surgical practitioner Is glad TO use
hem when, gratuitously, and on the re-
sponsibility of their editors, he can Duff
Off his own wonderful knowledge and
pre-eminent genius. And yet If these old fash.
toned, steady going medical practitioners were
asked 10 advertise their own merits as is the
habit in other pursuits, they would turn nm
their eyes in horror, and tell us that il was be.
meath the dignity of medical men to do 90.
This feeling is carried to such an extent that
when practitioner of acknowledged talent has
the moral courage to break through these con-
ventional prejudices of medieval date, and pub.
lish in the newspapers his researches, his views
end his remedies, profession at large de.
nounce such acts as uackery, forgetting that
they themselves prsesice indirectly the sa- I
empyricism By seeking publicity on til, Ms
possibility Of others. Now, this i, ~ - lss.
merest cant and humbug. What is =. - ~. Se
