The news of collision and blOodshed in Kansas
made a sensation here this morning, but no lntelll-
cence reached the President or Cabinet calculated
10 satisfy the anxiety of those who have ioretold
the coming of this eventful catastrophe. Had the
United States troops engaged in the conflict, the
War Denartment would have been necessarily nOtl-
fed hence it is believed the conflict must have
been confined to the PrO-Slavery and tree-State
men. But if the Federal bayonets have thus far
kept out of the strife, their exemption is only tenn
pOrary, for in condition of civil war they VIII De
required by the Acting-GOvernor to take part as

Who does not shout at the top of his lungs for the
immortal glory of the LecOmpton Constitution
Revolutions do not 90 backward, and the hrst
blood shed BY the troops of the United States Will
fertilize the soil with crop of ful-armed heroes
whom no Federal power can subdue, and who IN
their turn will exact the fullest measure of ven
geance. God forbid that such an extremity should
come to pass; but if tyranny cannot be repressed
without it, let it come, and the consequences De- on
te heads of those who viii have provoked calam-
Ib so sad and appalling.
There Is DOthSg encouraging IN the state OF the
Treasury for the past week. On the contrary, the
symptoms are decidedly dispiriting The receipts
from Iall sources were but fraction over

$4,0OO 900 year-hardly enough for pin money

There is Rominay about five and half millions sub

After the letters of the Cabinet to the Philadel-
Phla meeting there can be- no further doubt of the
PRESIDENTS full and complete recognition OF the
LecomptOn Constitution, aud of the intention o.
.ne Administration to make it a strict test OF pO
ti'lca orthodoxy. This purpose was tOreshadoweC
