The Missouri Republican of Saturday, says;
Yesterday the steamer Jas. Fl. Lucas ar
rived bringing later intelligence from the
troubled Territory, by which it will be seen
that the dispatches published yesterday, are,
in some of their features, contradicted. We
are glad to learn that affairs are not so bad as
was anticipated, although they are yet horrible
in all their details A battle had been fought
between a company under the command of
Capt. Pate, numbering about thirty men, and
gang of about seventy or eighty Abolition
ists in which two pro-slavery men were killed
and three wounded. Pate, it will be seen,
was not kille /, but taken prisoner. Donaldson
it is reported, was also wounded and taken
prisoner.
Mr.. MCGEE received a severe wound in his
thigh, and was brought to Westport

From the Kansas Enterprise Extra.
JUNE, 5, 4. M.
We are indebted to Mr.. Isaac Long, who
has just returned from the Territory, and who
was one of Capt. Pate's company for the fol-
lowing later and contradictory news:
He says that the battle between Capt. P.'s
company and the Abolitionists lasted four
hours. He lost two men and three wound
ed. Loss on the enemy's side not ascertained.
After the conflict, Capt. P, seeing the immi-
nent danger his force (thirty strong) was in,
sent flag of truce to the enemy by guarded
prisoner This was not accepted, and they in
return sent for Capt. f., who went out guarded
and was taken prisoner with his men, with the
exceptions of Me- Coleman, Il. Beam, and Isaac
Long, the bearer of this news. These men
brave at heart, and true to the emergency of
the interests of the South-fought like tigers,
and when their force yielde& they were I'M
flinched at nerve; nor did they surrender.

bravery of his race, and mightRhaEe &sl Bsex-

badly. Many persons are compelled to stay
at home on that account. Cannot adjacent
counties furnish horses? If they will, they
will find many true and warm friends of the

Northern fanatics who seek to crush thei1
