 WAsHINGroN, June 5--Immense quantities of pi ovislous have been and are being shipped over the Nashville and Louisville Railroads to the lnsurrectlonary states. The present Col ector being a SeceSsonist, refuses to obey the orders of stopping shipments south. A new Collector has been appointed, and will enter upon his duties in few days. To support the Collector, it was intended to send the Ken lucky brigade into Louisville, but the Depart ment has been advised that Kentuckians would bear more patiently the presence of any other federal troops than that of the bogus kentuc- ky brigade. The Kentucky brigade will pro- baby be ordered to Washington. And the Home Guard, like that of St. Louis, will be organized at Louisville.
 No forward movement last night, inc Feder- alsts being afraid to start, Tn consequence of several thousand southerners appearing at Gen. tleville.
 FROM MISSOURI.
 ST. LouIs, June 5.-Price has issued pro- clamaton to brigadier Generals commanding militia districts in Missouri, that his efforts in every section have been to prevent the trans- fer of the battlefield from the Atlantic States to Mlssouri; the right of Mssourians to bear arms is undoubted-to secure this right peace ably, himself and Harney compI omised on term, alike honorable to Missouri and the United States. The administration has re- moaed Halney, but doubtless his successor will respect the compact, as for himself he would adhere to It Ill letter and splrlC-lts violation would be gross indignlty to the people of Missouri, and would be resisted to the last extremity. The people of Missouri cannot be forced into submission if it IS at tempted, no doubt need be entertained of the result.
