MORE TROUBLE IN THE SourH OF KAxsAs.-Lap-
renee, K. T., Jan. 23.-Ncws reached Lawrence
last night, from Lynn county, to the effect that
there had been more lighting this side of the
border The Marshal from the Southern, or Che
rokee district has been operating below. 1t is said
that he acts at the suggestion of some of the Bates
county, Mo-, men and the pro-slavery people of
Fort Scott. lie has posse, the larger part OF
which belongs to the State. He has been recruit
ing for some time, and has been offering SO per
day.
He has been carrying on warfare under very
slim veil Ofpretended loyalty although all his acts
are perfectly irregular and he out of his baiwick.
1t appears that he has got his wings clipped He
had other prisoners of two free State citizens,
of them a harmless old man, and trying to
make further arrests when he met by op-
posing party. AS both Montgomery and Brown
absent from that section Of country, the party
that met his Marshal must have been a popular
uprising, Independent of the action of any indi-
vidua. All the particulars obtained are very con-
hicting but there was fight. and the Marshafs
some others were wounded on both sides Further
difficulties were apprehended.
Montgomery had just started down two days ago,
under pledges to use all his influence for a perma-
nent peace. 1t is likely that this occurrence will
be some obstacle in the way of such designs. All
parties here have been fattering themselves that
peace had been secured, but this gives matters a
more complex shape than ever.-Mssoari Dem.

quently into the country, have everywhere obser-
we'd cotton plants growing spontaneously, even
among weeds, loaded with great number of cap
sules, showing the most beautiful cotton | ever
saw. have been astonished to find the inhab-
tants despisng such an article which might become
the source of immense riches for this country,
which is admirably suited for the cultivation of cot
ton, on account of its climate.
Last year two merchants. F. Perdones and A.
Serrapinana- determined to establish anony-
| thn
| scale of the cotton cultivation Those gentlemen
helped by well known Cuban agrculturist named
| DR.. L. NJ. Dau, have worked so to prove that
this branch of agriculture will bring great pros
| perty to the lsland-for Cuban farmers did not
previously know the resources which they possess
ed on their lands. But they are eager to in
/ scribe theis names on the company's books. The
| newspapers also publishing many good articles
| on the subject. The promoters have already re-
| ceived some tons of good cotton seeds from New
| Orleans, Georgia, and a ton from the Manchester
Royal Cotton Society (Sea Island cotton seed).-
| The English Consul here is doing his best for the
final establishment of the company and the govern
ment protects it, so that shall have in April or
May many hundred thousands of acres planted
| There are abundant means to do this-the capital
| of the company being four million dollars.
BE so kind as to publish this letter, in order to
show Cur farmers in the Southern States that they
are more than ever called upon to make efforts
to improve their cotton cultivation, Ior they Will
meet very soon with powerful competltors.
