A New CESr.-Every body will be
glad to- learn that new cent is to be
coined. The old copper head, which has
SO long represented the smallest fraction.
al division Of our decimal money in use,
is too cumbrous and large for the, little
value it represents, and the substitution
for it Of new coin. readily distinguisha-
BILE from all others in circulation, win be
considered by all a great improvement.
1t is therefore proposed by. the Director
Of the Mint that the new coin shall be So
parts copper. and 12 parts nickel. This
will make a coin of dark redish color.
1t is to weigh 72 grains less than half the

have waited patiently to hear how things have
turned. Peace was declared about the 10th of
Dec, by Gov. Shannon issuing his order that the
Kansas militia, (and Missouri Banditti) should he
disbanded. The treaty of peace was, as | have
learned from authentic sources, that the citizens
of Lawrence would allow and assist in arrcsting
any prisoner to be arrested by a proper officer,
and with legal process, provided the prisoner be
tried before United States Court, but that no.
thing in their articles shall be constr ued that the
people of Douglas county, express any opinion rs
regards the validity Of the laws passed by the
Kansas Legislature. And farther, that the Gov
ernor in every future emergency, would solely rely
upon the citizens Of Kansas Territory to enforce
the law, and that he would use his influence to Sc
cure to the citizens of Douglas County indemn6-
cation for all losses sustained by them by the in
vasion. The Governor is said to have expressed
himself quite often, that he had had the true
statements of the case falsely represented him.
That he abhorred the Missourians, and would pay
none OF the expenses they had incurred. That
the corn, potatoes, provisions, hay, etc., that had
been stolen from the citizens of Douglas county,
by the Missourians, he would endeavor to have
paid for. But the provisions they had purchased
from citizens or Indians, having given order on
him for pay, and they had received the same, he
would not pay. lie then appointed G. Robinson
Ma or General, and James Lane Brigader- Gene
rail- (both of these men it will be seen were active
and efficient members Of the Topeca Convention,)
and made many lesser appointments, giving them
full power to act as they might deem proper in all
future emergencies. The prisoners were then re-
leased, the forces disbanded, and the Missouri
Bordcrers greatly dsplcased.
THE COST OF THE CAMPAIGN.
A gentleman who was in the Kansas militia, "a
Major General, y told ne that he had made an es-
innate of the probable cost of the campaign, to
the General Government. He says 'sfrom the
estimate have made, having been there, and
prepared to judge of it, could not have been less
than $65, 600" am Of the opinion that squatter
