We have little or no news worth relating and
especially little that is encouraging to the South;
Gen. Reid, q reliable and intrepid officer, from
his camp on Indian Greek, proceeded thence, it is
supposed, to cooperate with Gen. Richardson,
who is Commander-in-C Chief of the Territorial
Militia Reid is stated to have with him about
600 men, and at his conjunction with Richard
Sou cd t11o
ately proceed to Lawrence. Whether q collision
has followed or will follow this movement it is
impossible to say, as q large body of United
States troops are understood to be in the neigh.
borhOod of LecomptOn and Lawrence.
The following letter from Major Veitch informs
us that Gen. Reid proceeded from Cedar Greek
direct to Lawrence. .sf5

There is no longer any difference of opinion
amongst gentlemen about the propriety of estab-
lishing emigrants from the South who have been
driven from the Territory by Lane and his asso-
ciates. We upon the border have insisted and
urged men to settle in Kansas, with view of
making it Slave State, and there are at least
game mere
settle, bringing with them their plows, who are
now fighting their way with the sword as settlers
in the Territory. ~ 4A N'a" go ii-9 y
We hear contradictory reports concerning the
views of the new Governor Geary !, one is that
he is favorable to our cause and is determined to
use all his influence for the arrest Of Lane, while
other reports represent him as secretly sympa.
tbzing with the Free State party in all its enor.

His views, however, whatever they may be, do
| not affect our movements. We shall 90 to Law

| Gen. Smith, commanding the o. s. forces at
| Leavenworth. No sickness in camp. Much COM
plant that Lafayette is doing SO little in the way

We move from here tomorrow, direct for:

LAWRENCE, K. T., 15th.--Two thousand eight
| hundred men, mostly Missourians, reached Frank
| lin yesterday, destined to attack Lawrence. Ow-
! ing to our reliance upon Gov. Geary for protec-
| tion, our forces are mostly in the country
About SUI remain, preparing to fight in our for
tifcations. Our advance guards came in collision
last night, and three of the enemies men are re-
ported killed. None of ours injured. just then
orders came from the Governor, forbidding the
approach of the pro-slayery forces. They then
fell back and camped at Franklin, Four hundred
| troops arrived here last night for protection
This morning, the Governor, in person, disbanded
the Missourians under Reid-member elect of the
next Missouri Legislature, They are no longer
Territorial militia. Many of them swear they
will have blood, in spite of Gov. Geary. Our
citizens have enrolled as his mlitia--a collision
is feared. Col Hayney's regiment fought at
Hartford yesterday and won-killing three and
wounding many. Five of Hayney's men were
wounded. His whole force was broken up and
taken prisoners by the dragons while returning.
A letter from Hong Chong to the Herald, dated
July 9Th, mentions another outrage committed
by the English Judicial authorities upon an
American vessel, on the third inst. An armed
police force boarded the American barque Anna
| Buckmap, and took by force her chief officer,
tried him for assault and battery, and made him
pay . fine to the owner. The Anna Buckman
| was lying within stones throw of the U. s..
frigate San Jaeinto, when Phillips was taken out.
He applied to her for assistance, but could get
none. At the commencement Of the trial the
American Consul protested in writing, but his
protest was laid upon thetable, and the judge in
timated to him that he had better leave the court
The assault charged was made upon deserting
