WARSAW, Mo-, Dec. la special messenger,
VINO arrived here to night, brings the following i'm
portant items from the West 1t is from reliable
| source and can be depended upon:
Clinton, Henry Cd. Dec. THAT the public mtrd
may not be nsinformed and misIed By the many
ernissaries the Aholltonists are running to and fro
through the country east of this place, as we
are informed, ard to Justify those who have acted
promptly to prevent the Accomplishment of the
dark designs of the Abolition marauders under lie
notorious Montgomery in Kansas and on our Dor
ders, we state the following facts in addition to
those heretofore given:
The armed Aboltionists have continued their
murderous operations IN Bourbon and Linn conn
yes, Kansas, hunting down and driving from the
Territory all men who have disapproved Of their
robbing and numbering etc. and who have In any
manner acted to sustain the laws.
Ihe roads leading eastward from the Territory
have been crowded with wagons and persons male
and female, escaping from those fends. IN one
instance, mother gave birth to an infant on the
road near Pappinsyille, in this State, during the
| fight of the family.
On Monday night of this week a Mr.. Bishop, who
| IVes on Usage river, about twelve miles north of
Fort Scott, having been aroused by noise in the
night and upon going to the door he was Instantly
| shot down and killed. His body was pierced by
| seven balls.
We have seen here, for days, wagons loaded with
goods, furniture, ETC., passing through, not only
from the Territory, but from West Point in this
State, and other places within the line. Families
| living on and near the Old jackson Place. within
this State, have been notified to leave their homes
by these outlaws, and having means of defense,
have fed to Butler and other places in the interior
for security, leaving their homes and effects Yes
terday, slaves owned by those living near the line,
| some twenty-five miles or more within the State,
arrived here for safe keeping. Thus have the citi-
zens of Bates and Vernon counties since the COM
mencement OF this insurrection, been threatened
with destruction of life and property without ade-
| quate means of defense or protection up to this
| time.
| Captain Doak, of Butler county, has arrived here
| on his way for arms and ammunition and aid
from whom we have learned some Of the above
1 facts. Signed-D. G. Stone, w. A. Duncan, Joseph
Davis, J. NJ. Holcomb, R. R. Murrell, J. Williams,
Wm. Il. Doak, D. &. Boone, 6. II. Worth, and j.

Later Capt. Doak further states that the cit
izens of West Point, fearing an attack at any mo
ment from the Montgomery party, held meeting
few days since, calling on the sheriff of Bates
county to raise force for the protection Of the
border. Capt. Doak, whois deputy sheriff of Bates
| county, dispatched forty muskets to the citizens
there, who stand guard every night to prevent o
| all the border towns.
large meeting of the citizens of this county
was held to-day to take into consideration the
border troubles. G. H. Worth acted as President,
and James @. Alexander as Secretary. Speeches
were made by Col. Joe Davis, Col. Tuft, Judge
Williams, r. R. Murrell, and Others.
WARSAW, Mo-, Dec. 2.-Gen. Frost's brigade en-
| camped last night between Calhoun and Belmont.
! They are moving very slowly, the men having
very sore feet, oecasioned by marching over rough
roads.
Gen. Parsons passed through Calhoun yesterday
| on secret mission to the border.
| AT latest accounts Montgomery was still en-
camped at or near Fort Scott, and defes the world
/ to take him. 1t is thought that he viii leave when
he hears of the approach of Generals Harney and
/ Frost.
/ The people in all the border counties strongly
endorse Gov Stewart in sending out troops to
4 catch Montgomery. Il they can only take him, o
] general day Of thanksgiving will be held in the
| Usage Valley.
i Two suspicious characters, supposed to be Mont
ern part Of Henry county making tracks in the
/ direction of Fort Scott.
Montgomery's men are all through the country
giving out reports to misleed the people.
n The frequent outrages by Abolition bands are
kndlng strong disunion feeling.
