Colonel Roberts, of Vernon, passed Osceola yes
terday as a messenger to the Governor for aid
1t was rumored on the streets to-day, but since
denied that Balls mills in Vernon county, had been
| burned by Montgomery.
Montgomery declares that he intends carving on
the war until he frees every negro in Southwest
| Missouri.
Large quantities of guns, revolvers cutlasses and
other war implements have been shipped to Kansas
as "food for the suffering" They were sent from
the East. Unless the President sends out troops to
| take and hang Montgomery and his men, we NAV
| expect for many months reign of terror on the

| LEAvENwoRTH, X. t., Nov 22.-In view of the
present state of affairs in Southern Kansas call
| has been issued for public meeting, to sustain
Gov. Medary in enforcing law and order in the
Territory. The call is signed by number of
prominent citizens, who have heretofore acted with
the Free State and Republican parties.
KANSAS CRY, Nov. 22.-Dr. Massey, of Fort
Scott, arrived here this evening. He LETT Fort
Scott on Tuesday last. The rumors of the burning
of the town on Monday night are incorrect. He
confirms the accounts of the murder of five men and
the capture of others, who have probably met the
same fate.
Capt. Montgomery and his gang of Jaw Hawkers
are well armed with Sharpes rifles and navy re-
volvers. They have plundered the town of Paris
and arrested many of its citizens.
The people have petitioned the Secretary of the
Territory, in the absence of Gov. Medary, to come
to their assistance with federal troops.
The students of the University of Virginia have
resolved that the time for action is at hand, and in
vited Governor Wise to address them at an early
day.
