from Missouri. TIE Platte Argus has issued
an extra to-day, calling upon the Pro-Slavery
men from Missouri to do their duty, and
rally to support the laws Of Kansas An
attempt was made to-day 70 organize company
at Weston, which, am happy to state, resulted
in almost complete failure. A very few were
enrolled of the most abandoned in that town. The
leading Pro-Slsyery men here do not countenance
the acts Of that mob; even Brig. Gen. EastOn'
and "Col. Payne" am informed, have said that
they would have nothing TO do with it. / shall
start for the seat Of difficulty in the morning, and
will inform you Of what hereafter takes place from
my own observation. The report which Mr.. Ad-
ans brings can be relied upon as correct, as ne ls
man mo does not exaggerate.

Coon NEws PROM GEoRGIA-We are receiving by

The people of that State fully aroused to the i'm
potance of taking immediate stepsto colonize Kansas
with the right material. We hear OF large companies
being formed in every section OF the state TO egrate
TO this Territory. Many Of the emigrants bringing
their slaves with them. We make the following ex-
tract from letter received from Columbus Ca:
"You may look out for a swarm of Georgians,

January next. There are companies forming IN this

Southern papers the moss cheering assurances that by
next Summer will have such an emigration here as
will warrant in taking upon ourselves the burden OF
a State Government, and making our Territory
