ST. LOUIS, June 80.
Reliable information from Sprin6eld
says the St. Louis Regiment of Col
Seigel, and part Of the 9th, Col. Soloman,
reached there Sunday last, and Colonel
Browns Regiment, the 4:h reserve corps,
and battalion of the 9Th, would arrive
next day. Seigels regiment started west
to Gu. off Jackson, who was last heard
from at Stockton, with 1000 men parsi-
ally armed. 1t is understood that Kan.
sas has guarded all outlets from Missouri
on the borders Of Kansas and the Indian
territory, which, with Seisers outposts
west from Springfield, will entirely hem
Jackson in, and doubtless result iu the
capture of his whole force.

have Panama papers of the 24th ult.
The town Of Mendoza, situated on the
eastern slope of the Andes, containing
about 10000 inhabitants, was destroyed
by an earthquake on the goth Of March.
About S:45 on that evening a shock was
experienced from north to south, and at
the same time another from south to north.
which lasted about five seconds, leaving
in ruin every dwelling and public odilice
in the place aud destroying upwards OF
5000 of the population. Tho accounts
Of this dreadful affair are terrible; whole
families were swept away into eternity in
an instant. and the few that escaped are
left homeless, naked and starving The
catastrophe has thrown gloom over the
whole Of Chile, as many of the leading
families of Santiago, who had gone to re-
side at Mendoza on account of their poll
tics, had pershed, Tho commercial com,
munity of Valparaiso also are likely to
suffer heavy losses, as a large trade was
carried on between tho two places.
1t was reported that San Juan, towr
of considerable importance, about 81
leagues from Mendoza, was also destroy
ed, and that the river, leaving its orgina
bed. had completely inundated the place
but this, as well as tho reported destruc'
ton of two other towns, requires conhT'
