GEN. HARVEY TO BE RETAINED IN
kANsAs.-The Washington correspond.
ent of the New York Herald, writing
ON tho 10th ult, says:
81 learn to-day that the Secretary
of War contemplates sending Colonel
johnson, who now is in command in
Texas, to Utah, instead of Gen. Harvey.
This change is deemed necessary, ow-
ing to the troubles that arc apprehend-
ed in Kansas in case he should leave
the Territory" ....
So it seems that the recent procla-
nation of Gov. Walker against the
town of Lawrence was duly anticipa-
ted at Washington City.
A gentleman lately from Kansas
says that extreme measures, on the
part of the Governor and the United
States troops under his command,
were not much apprehended by the
Free State men. They rather thought
the manifesto Of Walker against Law
renee, and the ordering out Of seven
hundred troops, were but series of
sham movements which were intended
to defeat the Utah expehition-and
we must confess that the above orders
from Washington look that way. Mr.
Buchanan and his cabinet are perhaps
not very sanguine about the war with
the Mormons. They are afraid it will be
troublesome business and want to
back out. So they will invent a
hundred pretexts against the Free
State party of Kansas, for the deten.
ton of the troops now quartered at
Leavenworth, and will assert the ne.
cessity of placing the Territory under
military rule, with Gen. Harvey to
command, and brighten all the women
and children with his military spurs
and fierce mustachios.-.St. Louis DEM

CAurIoN.-We would caution our
brother printers to beware Of trusting
or encouraging man who gave his
name to us as W. II. Nossor. Nossor
came to this town and passed himself
off as a professor of music-got up a
singing school, which he taught gra-
tuituously, and at the close of the
school, gave concert to remunerate
him for his services. During this time,
we did printing to the amount of 81 90
for him, which account said Nossor
forgot to settle, in his sudden exit
from town. From the GOODNESS which
he did it, it is evident he is at his cold
tricks" Nossor is small, spare man,
sharp face, very large, rolling eye,
and makes pretensions which he can
not sustain. Since he left, we have
learned that he is an ex-travelling
minstrel, who plays on ode old jaw
bone" Parents who have due regard
for their children will give him the
cold shoulder, wherever he goes
Brother printers, beware of him

unlikely he will fix upon some point where in

many instances, had a settlement with those

His father, a prudent old codger, gave

and immediate enforcement of pay
ment of all sums that might he his, he
had no doubt that he would get along.
