Latest from Kansas.

We hope the news below may be true,
but it will take some time before the mere
adventurers sent to Kansas, with Rifles
and Bibles, but not as settlers, will be
willing to leave. Work or be quiet they
never win in that region, because it was
not their purpose, and SO long as block
heads send money out to them to i've
upon, troubles will exist more or less.
From the st. Louis Republican.
THE WAR GETTING OVER.
KANsAscrrY, June 18th, 1856.
All is now quie.-that is, comparative
" quiet. No fighting going on. The
United States troops are actively engaged
in d~isbanding all unlawful military bodies.
In cases where they have re-assembled,
all arms are taken from them. You can
see the difference between the Free State
and Pro-slavery parties in this, that the
order to disband is at once oheyed by the
latter, and not by the former. For this
reason no arms have been taken from the
law and order party.
Rumors reach here every day OF vio-
lence upon the Pro-slayery settlers; but
the evil is gradually curing itself. The
Abolition party is committing suicide
it is nothing but a disunion party The
programme is this: TO keep up trimming
.Jeqkt sastil the ,rhole country Is involOed IN
sUar This is their plan, as developed in
various why's. The leaders have told it
and there can be no doubt as to its truth
and the plan came from the House O
Representatives. The latter class of Free
State men are anxious for peace, and to
get peace they are willing to obey the
laws. The guerrillas and outlaws amongst
them are all who do the deeds of murder
and robbery; the responsible men see that
they are ruined if they persist in treason
and massacre, and are Kidding themselves
of the bandit. If nothing happens te
derange things, we will soon have peace.
The Aubry is landing. In haste.
