Southern States, St. Louis is very favorably
situated for the purpose, as from it's position
it must necessarily be visited by them all, and
an exchange of boats must be made by them
there. We have no intention Of the kind,
However, but deem it Of sufficient interest 10
notice the several detachments as they arrive.
The steamer Matte Wayne, which arrived
yesterday, had on board IT'S passengers, IS of
whom were from one of the Slave States
North Carolina, we believe. Their command !
er is said TO be Col. Clayton. They imme
diately transferred themselves on board the
! Keystone which left for the Missouri in the
evening. OF course every man had an album
dance ofweapons of offence and defense.

KANSAS NEWS
We had hoped to be able to obtain by the
mail from the West, yesterday, some definite
information in regard to affairs in Kansas, but
in this we were sappointed-possibiy be-
cause no new collision had taken place, ana the
people were awaiting the movements Of the
respective parties in the field. We learn by
gentlemen who reached the city yesterday,
that the Missourians were concentrating their
forces at New Santa Fee, on the dividing line
between Missouri and Kansas. Companies
were arriving daily from the different counties,
and by the time they would be ready to march
into Kansas, the number would not be less
than $500 men Lanes troops, or a part of
them, are certifying themselves about seven
miles off on the Wakarussa, but the main body
lis at Lawrence. The number under his com
mand is yariously estimated at from 900 to
| 5000, and 1000 men. Some Of his men are
represented as having grown tired of the ser
vice, and deserted.
Gen. Atchison is said to be in command Of
II. II .l,c,, IN,
command, and Capt Reid, of jackson, adju
tant. If battle takes place at all, it will
probably come of this week, and there will be
no child's play about it, Lanes men will
have, in the event of fight, the advantage o.
being better drilled and better equipped, with
better supply Of arms and still we doubt
whether they will gain any triumph over the
Missourians.
All reports concur in saying, that Gen.
Smith docs not intend to interfere in these
movements, unless the offences OF either party
should be such as to demand his interposition..
The New York Trbune's Kansas cores
pondent, writing from Kansas on the goth,
says:
The clouds are thickening, bat the exact
day and hour when the storm shall come, or

This "Northern Division" includes Weston,
Mo, and Platte county generally. In the
Southern Division good deal is being done
to make a raise" but with poor success. This
Division includes Westport, Independence and
other Border RufIian localities in Jackson and
: Clay counties, Mo, but their head quarters
' is at Lecompton. The celebrated Haney, or
, HrUnaM was down at WestDort Yesterday lint
reports the people there as being willing to let
the Chiyalry take care of themselves lie
says that nothing viii be done till both Diyi-
r sions together number 1000 men. The Cher
/ okees and Creeks-both slaveholding nations
: have been called on to assist, but it is very
e doubtful whether they will come. Up to this
time nothing has been done in the way of col
n lecting and organizing the Free State forces.
i After the treaty of Sunday last the few who
: were organized went quietly and peaceably to
n their homes and employment on Monday
: morning but the city is filled with emgrants
who have arrived from Chicago and other
places by the Northern route
Another brutal murder took place near Leav-
enworth yesterday. A gentleman named
Y Hops or Hupps, from Ohio, came here last
Y week and left his wife and returned to Leayen-
: worth for his goods, &c. When he had got a
h mile or two this side of that city, on his re.
), turn, he was overtaken lit is supposed, shot
e and sealped, and in this condition was found
: by some troops who happened along shortly
: aiterward. No clue to the murderers has yet
Y Been found. but it is supposed that he express
e ed his sentiments too freely in Leavenworth.
Y The Rev. Mr. Bird came from Leavenworth to
?, day for his wife, who is sister of the Rev. E.
r Mute pastor of the Unitarian Church in this
d city.
