From Kansas.

Our budget of Kansas news is somewhat
limited this week. Comparative quiet seems
to reign in the territory and the peaceablc
settlers can pursue their avocations in per
feet safety The 81. Louis EtpujiicaH has
a letter from WcstPort, june 18th, which
says Sumner has put the California and
Santa Fe roads aud all principalc thorough
fares leading into Kansas under blockade,
and has driven Major Buiord, Gen. Jones
and Col Shelby, all heading emigrant parties
DESTROYS of becoming peaceable settlers, out
of the territory.
Another letter dated Kansas City, 10th,
says: Summer states that every criminal or
person under indictment in Kansas shall be
arrested and that neither Lane nor anybody
else shs'l come armed into the territory,
through Iowa, Nebraska, nor any other
place, except it BE- over his dead body.
A report asa comes from Lawrence. June
21st, stating that Sumner had Fight on the
10Th, with some Missourians, and lost two
men some were killed and several wound
ed on the other side. Sumner drove the
party into Missouri, and stationed troops SO
as to prevent them from returning.
Also, that Summer refused to let party
of Southern men come up from Westport to
settle on their claims at Hickory Point, where
they had laid out a town.
1t is also reported that Gov. Shannon has
resigned, his Resignation to take effect on
the LIST Of July.
