The End in Kansas,

The St. Louis EUening Newsof Wednes-
day sums up the late news of peace re-
stored in Kansas, as follows:
FURTHER FROM KANsAs-THE CAPITU-
LATIoN--MIssoURIANs DISSATISFIED. -
We were the first to publish intelligence
of the termination of the war, in Kansas
war which, during its continuance, was
regarded with more terrible and anxious
interest, because it was fraught with more
important results, than even the great wal
in Europe. The brief account we gave
yesterday ofthe issue Of the struggle, was
substantially correct, and is confirmed by
further tidings of the affair published il
the morning papers .,.
Mr.. Shankland, who sided with tho
Lawrence men, and who is now on his way
to Washington City to represent the wholC
matter to the Government, has commune
Gated to the Democrat some particulars
concerning the surrender, according tC
which it seems that Mr.. Atchison and Gov
Shannon, finding that the Lawrance men
were determined to fight, finally sent dc.
mand for the delivery of the prisoners
sought by the sheriff, and surrender o.
arms. The Lawrence men agreed to give
up the prisoners, but refused to surrender
their al ms. On the LATER basis, finally,
peace was effected, and the army of Mis-,
sourians encamped outside the place was
forthwith dsbanded. Mr.. Shankhnd
says;
The disbanding gave rise to general
murmurs and execrations of Shannon
among the Missouri troops. Mostof them
reached Westport on Sunday night, hay-
ing suffered intensely DUNG the previous
night from a terrible storm of rain, snow
and wind, which terminated in piercing
cold. They lost many horses, some hav-
ing been stolen by the Indians, some hay
ing strayed away, and others having died
at Westport from fatigue. They also lost
many of their arms.
AT Westport they threatened to tear
down the hotel at Kansas City, and a com
mitteo from that place was appointed to 60
to Westport to remonstrate, the inhabtonts
determining to defend the hotel at all haz
ards, should the remonstranco fail of eff.
feet. No demonstration however, was
made.
We learn, moreover, chat the report Of
the shooting of two or three of Free State
men is without foundation. The only man
shot, was James Baker, who was not a
resident of Lawrence, but lived some four
miles from the town, and was near his
house when killed. lie was riding along
the road when he was called to by a par,
ty, of which Major Richardson was one,
and commanded to halt He rode on with
out needing the summons, was pursued,
shot down and left lying in the road. lie
was afterwards taken by a company of the
Lawrence dragons into Lawrence,
The RePubttcanpublishes two dispatch
cs which confirm the report of the Missou-
rians, at being I,.h',.,cad I1,.sha"dad without having
the sport they had promised themselves
They had enlisted in the army OF claw
and order" left their homes, neglected
their business, and suffered hardship, hun
ger, and other priyations incidental to a
winter campaign--all for the chance of
having ascrimmage with the Abolitionisls;
and Of course it did not put them ina very
amiablo temper to learn that Gov. Shan
non had agreed to send them home, with
out allowing single blow to be struck.
One dispatch, from Bonneville, says
" The Missouri volunteers have disbanded
and returned home in disgust, because
Governor Shannon would not allow them
to burn the town of Lawrence The Ab-
olitionists surrendered the individuals OBJ
noxious to the law, and Governor Shannon
then demanded that they surrender their
arms but this they refused to do, and
there the matter rests.
Another says that "many who placed
themselves under the orders of the Cover
nor to enforce obedience to the laws, re
turned to their residences dissatisfied with
the result" So it is-Shannon is now
dotested as utterly by the Missourans as
by the Free State men. He is rs unfit to
be Governor of Kansas as he could be, and
a
