ST.. LOUIS, Dec. %

Dispatches from Bonneville this morn
ing say that Major Russell, Capt. Van
Yliet and Geo. w Sanders passed down
the river last evening en- route for Wash
ington. They left Leavenworth on the
10Th. Stanton was still acting as Gov
ernor, apparently with the appreciation
of Gen. Danvers. Gen. Harvey had dis
patched two companies of cavalry, at the
request of Stanton, to suppress rebel
lion at Fort Scott, where several lives had
also posted troops at Doniphan, Atchison,
Kickapoo, Leavenworth, Lawrence and
Lecompton.

was shot at Lecompton by a Government
official, name not given, on the evening
of the 18th. The affair grew out of a
political discussion. Much excitement
prevailed.

ago, which we will tell, maugre the risk
of its being second handed ; and it is too
good story to offend even those whose
sect it hits. Some good lady at the out
set of Jniversalism conceived a holy hor-
ror, at the .blasphemy OF its bold support
ers in pretending thatall would be saved.
1t was preposterous, outrageous in the
spirit that filled her, she wouldn't have a
man in her house who believed in the
abominable doctrine. She kept boarding
house, and applied a test of belief to all
who offered was sea captain, and she
