The Kansas troubles.

The St Louis Republican, Of the Th, says:
An important message was Yesterday trans
mitted to the Senate, by Gov. Stewart, reclting
acts of murder, plumber and arson, committed
upon the citizens and property of Bates, YER
non and Cass counties, by n band of maraudrrs
from Kansas Territory, supposed to be under
the lead of Montgomery. The message was
accompanied by correspondence between the
Executive and President Buchanan, and also
the sworn testimony Of many indivi iuals, de-
failing the atrocities committed in those coun-
ties. The message submitted to the Leglsla'
ture the propriety OF passing the necessary
laws for the protection OF the persons and pro-
perty of the citizens of the border counties
The Senate at once proceeded to the consider.
alton of the message, and Senator Peyton at
once introduced bill authorizing the Govern
or to call out the military of the State, in Ger.
tain cases, to repel invasion and protect the

Federal Relations, with instructions to report

GENERAL HousroN.-The Washington Star
double speaking from authorlty-maRe'
the following announcement OF the future plans
of Gen. Sam Houton;
Perceiving in some distant papers stories at
tributinr TO Gen. Sam Houston the purpose o.
again being candidate for the Senatorshlp from
Texas, made vacant by the death OF the late
lamented Rusk, and others alleging ti'at ne de-
signs running for the Governorshlpo his State'
we have to state that there is no truth what
ever in them. Gen Houston, at the end of his
present Senatorial term, intends to remove, to
his property at the head of Galveston bay,
where he will in future reside, eschewing pub
lie affairs so far as being candidate for any
elective office Is concerned. He has served the
public long, and now seeks repose in the bosom
of his estimable family, and in domestic pur'
suits. He will leave the political arena here
carving with him the heartiest wishes OF poll
tical friends and foes who have been his com
peers in public life, for his future prosperity
and happiness, for it is certainly true that no
other gentleman who has served the State so
long ever made more or warmer personal
friends among those with whom he was thrown
in contact in the discharge of official duties.
Five Stock FOR TExAs.-Few of our read
ders are aware of the great number Of fine
blooded animals-horses, cattle and sheep
constantly pouring into Texas, not only by ev-
ery inland route but by Harris and Morgano
fine steamers. This season the number is far
greater than ever, and in addition to the ordina'
nv domestic stool, we see that fresh 'mpo!'a-
tious of camels and cashmere goats are oe'hg
introduced. The former are known 10 40 oe''
ter in Texas than in their own native country
while there can be no doubt that the nhes'
goats will increase and thrive as we'll.
Among others who have recently gone over
bv steamer 10 the "Lone Star" State we may
mention DR.. Ganhal Colin Campbell, Esq,
Mai. William w. Leland. and Capt. Charles
Leland, of the Metropolitan Hotel, New York.
All have taken over fine stock-Durham bulls;
Morgan and other stalions.sand the best meri-
no sheep-and we cannot but wish them free
success. There is room for all on the wide.

THE Montgomery Mail says: When we
heard of Albert Pixies (slpposed) decease, we
could but regret that old Ned or some other
expert was not near, to try on him what prov
