On the arrival OF the boat at Kansas City Gen
| Jones, with a company of 30 South Carolinians,
got aboard and on the way up the river Atchi-
| son, Stringfellow and Russell, also boarded the
steamer When these gentlemen learned what
had occurred they required an audience with the
leaders of the company who had told them or
ders had been given to disband all armed parties
in the territory and advised them to return
home.
This advice was considered good, and before
the boat reached Leavenworth the whole CON-
pany determined to return when the boat touched
the latter point. A large crowd were assembled
on shore, but being informed that the party had
concluded not to land, but to go on to Weston,
and to return with the boat, they were satisfied
and made no demonstrations of any kind. An |
escort was sent with them from Leayenworth to i
Weston, where they did not attempt to land,
having given up all idea of settling in Kansas
Committee was appointed to escort them
Star Of the West met the steamer Sultan on her
way up with forty more emigrants, belonging to
the same company.
The Republican learns from reliable source
that this company were to be paid by the society
in Chicago 500 each, for going to Kansas, part
of the money to be expended in arms and amu-
nition the remainder to be RENTED to them
after landing at their destination.
Thirty days provisions were also to be pro-
vided; but soon after leaving Alton, they found
the contract would not be fulfilled, which caused
much dissatisfaction among them,
