81 ifouIa, sept -
Letters to the Republican dated s.. Jo-
saphs, the 9th ult. state that Maj. Baldwin,
agent Of the Kickapoo Indians, has just re-
turned from visit to the Indians. He re-
ports the country between Grasshopper and
st. Joseph's, full OF armed bodies. The free
State mon were moving along the western
border of the Kickap)o Reservation. Capt.
Scott with a hundred men had moved in that
direction, and other forces were to Join him
to cut of further accession in that quarter to
the ranks of the free State men.
The pro-slayery party We're also stationing
strong bodies Of men along the western line
of the territory to prevent the ingress and
egress of any free State parties there and a
long the Missouri River, and it is SO well
fortified that no free State forces can APP
proach in that direction. The pro-slavery
men are arranging plans for speedy concen-
tration Of their forces upon Lawrence. The
excitement in the territory and border coun-
| ties continues.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald writes:--
81 have been shown list of names of
Fremont electors in Virginia. Two OF
the number who have signfed their
readiness to serve in that capacity are
represented as shareholders, and gentle
men of wealth and position in their re-
spcctivc districts
The sectional demonstration at
Wheeling will efectually put a stop to
ANYTHING of this kind. There are doubt
less many men in Virginia who would
rejoice at the election Of Fremont, but
tits most prudent to keep quiet about it.
