80. s,rty ,tand Of arms fUr tbe militia companies
nr the Osaee and and Marmaton, has just started
down. They went with Capt. Bayne, Lieut. Bun
dsy and Mr.. johnson. Their object, i lesrn' "
more defensive than Offensive. In the mean TINE
we learn that force Of United States Dragons are
on their march thither. The force 10 question
reached the crossing Of Raw River, some twenty
Eve miles below this last Friday night, but were
nbable 10 get over While waiting there, tDeir
march Was countsrmanded; but, before they had
zone back. these orders were again counfermaDded,
and The force / learn has succeeded in crossing
the river, and il doubtless on the way down.
II ia barely possible that this military force may
be called on TO halt in the Shawnee Reservation.
There is at the present a strong excitement IN
Westport and threats Of sending an armed force
again into the Territory from that quarter. The
good people of NestpOrt are yet greatly exercised
and engaged by the arrest OF their swindling and
phaDt creatures the Judges and Clerks of the bogus
and Oxford elections WestpOrt threatens 10 be in
arms to vindcate her right 10 Territorial franchise.
As they are threatening to over it is possible
the troops may thus be detained That they would
be ordered 10 stop Or that not very probable and,
in fact. not desirable They would merely serve to
protect Rufhan invasion. The people OF Kansas
can take care of all ntruderS from Missouri, when
they come in the shape of sn armed force.
The chief excitement here arises from the ap-
preaching elections. In two weeks we have the
election for delegates 70 Constitutional COnven.
