that Cole and Armstrong We're planning to steal away
the slave jack the property of Marshal Kidd of this
city, and entered into combination with the police

ported authority of Gen. Smith, that the President
has ordered n0e prosegu to be entered in the case
Of the Free State prisoners
The Panama question is still pending before the
Cabinet, and definite action thereon is anticipated
early next week.
The recent official advices from Gov. Geary and
Gen Smith, have inspired the belief that good order
will soon be restored in Kansas, while their action
thus far receives the cordial approval of the admins
trntion.
FEDERAL CAPrro1. EXrENsIoN.-The Washington

says:

flight of temporary stairway has been constructed by
which visitors can ascend to the upper stories and
survey the splendid ceilings and other works OF supe
rior mechanism. Should the operations OF the next
few months prove successful as heretofore, it is
probable that Captain Megs will have the pleasure
