Persons just in from near the fort report a
skirmish there this morning. Three COM
panies sent out by Col. Phelps to drive in
cattle belonging to the SecessionIsts, were
fred upon by company of light horse and
three wounded. The rebels are evidently
landing large bodies of troops at the Point
seven miles above Newport News on the
same side of the river.
Steamers come down the river daily
An attack from that quarter is anticipated.
The experiment with Sawyer's American
rifed cannon atRip Raps last evening was
brilliant success. Sewall's Point is clearly
within range of these guns.
Seven of eleven forty eight pound shells
exploded short distance from the rebel
camp and one of them over their entrench-
ments. Il created sensation among the
Secessionists. A house near the Secession
banner displayed white flag.

A few weeks ago, in one of our letters to
The News. from Topeka, we said that w.
R. Davis, member Of the Legislature from
Douglas county, had the reputation of be-
ing the most corrupt member of the lower
house. Some of Mr.. Dayis's friends are of
the opinion that We did him great injus-
tice. If this is tue, it was entirely unin-
territorial on our part. We do not wish to
injure the reputation of Mr.. Davis, or any
one else. The assertion was based on the
allegations of many of his fellow members,
and Others. We have not the honor of an
acquaintance with Mr.. Davis, and people
may have said that which was not true in
regard to his being corrupt. We say thus
much in justice to him and his friends.

Shooting Affair in st. LOuis-SeveraI Men
Killed.

ST. LOUIS, June 17-P. NJ.
A part of Col Kallman's regiment re-
serve corps were returning from North
Missouri Railroad about II O'Clock this
morning; when opposite the Recorders
court room on Seventh Street, a company
near the rear of the column suddenly
wheeled and discharged their rifles, aiming
chiefly at windows in the Recorders court
and second story adjoining house, killing
four citizens and mortally wounding two.
and slightly injuring one. Statements re-
gardng the cause of the firing are very
conf1icting-one being that pistol shot
was fired from the window of the house cor
ner Seventh and Locust, which took effect
on one of the captains, when he gave the
order to fire. Another that a soldier acci-
IDENTIFY discharged his rifle in the ranks,
al which the whole company became fright
ened and discharged full volley at the
crowd on the sidewalk and windows of
the houses. The Recorders court was
crowded with prisoners. Police officer
Pratt was shot in the side, and died in ten
minutes. Deputy Marshal FRANCO received
three balls in his legs, and will undoubtedly
die. The name of other persons who were
killed on the pavement were not ascertained.
The window just behind the Recorders
desk was riddIed with bullets and broken
glass was scattered over his desk.
The bodies'of the killed were removed
by the Health officers.
A thorough investigation of the affair
will be had when the particulars will be
given.

TWO PROCLAMATIONS.


On the 18th inst, Gov. Jackson, of Mis-
souri,, issued his proclamation, calling into
actual service of the State fifty thousand reb-
ell Pukes. The proclamation shows where
this traitor stands. 1t enumerates the
wrongs now being heaped upon Missouri by
the Federal Government, and of course
abounds with bare-faced lies. What troub-
les old jackson, is tie formation, all over the
State, of Union Home Guards, and the I'M
mistakable Union sentiment entertained by
the people.
Gov. Robinson has promptly replied, by
issuing a proclamation, which we publish
below.
GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.
The Government of Missouri having de-
clared war against the Government Of the
United States and called for fifty thousand
State troops to be used in its overthrow, war
is virtually declared against the State of
Kansas also. The relations of Kansas to the
Federal Government and the State of Mis-
ssuri are such that all must, sooner or laIer,
be involved in the contest. Should the
Governor of Missouri succeed against the
y. =. FORCES, Kansas cannot nope 10 escape
invasion. Indeed it is to be feared that the
invasion of this State will be one Of the first
acts of the rebel army. In view of these
facts. by virtue ofthe authority vested in me
by the Constitution of the State. and in COM
pliance with the desire of the commanding
officer Of the U. S. forces within the State, l,
as Governor of Kansas, hereby call upon all
good citizens to organize themselves into
military companies of not less than 83 nor
more than 1O1 men rank and file, and hold
themselves in readiness TO enter active SER
vice at call. One or more regiments of In
fantry will be taken into the U S. service for
three months Immediately. and all comman-
ders of companies with full ranks. will report
their muster roll 10 Adutant General L man
Allen, at Lawrence without delay.
The companies will be accepted in their
order as filled, and no company will be order
ed into rendezvous until fnll. and then by
special order. Company and Regimental
officers will be elected in accordance with
the provisions of the Militia law of the State.
Done al the Executive office, State of Kan
sas, this seventeenth day of June, A D. 1861.
In testimony whereof, witnes. my hand and
private seal, the State having no seal.

M1ssoURI.-We are informed by II. Ken
dali, Esq, who has just returned from Chi
cago, that 1000 Iowa troops have arrived
in Hannibal. They are to be sent out along
the line of the Hannibal d st. 10. Railroad.
There are already a number of soldiers sta
toned along the line; some at Hudson
about 800 at Chillcothe and from 600 10
800 at long Bridge, east of Palmyra. All
the prominent Secessionists at these places
were arrested, and a number of secession
flags were captured. Among the leading
traitors under arrest, is Russell W. Moss.
He was seized at Hunneville, and taken
thence to Hannibal.
At Hannibal all is quiet, and the trains
are running regularly to that city. There
is no difficulty in passing safely over the
road.
Federal troops are also guarding the
North Missouri Road.
