LOUISVILLE, June IS.
The Introduction of arms and provisions
from the North and the previous transmits
sion of both South of this point, have rem
dered the Louisville market bare; bagging
and rope only are now in progress southwark,
and it is anticipated that they will be en-
tireiy interdicted within day or two.
Trade is entirely staguant, and merchants
are apathetic, expecting an utter prostra-
ton of trade with the South Immediately.
Postal matters, as to letters. are to be
suspended. 1t is supposed that newspapers
will come from the South here till the first
of July and then be discontinued.
Leonard Streff, a prominent German, at
Frankfort, KY, publishes an@ddress to his
countrymen, advising them to beware of
all tricks of the disunionists, and TO stand
firmly by the Union they have sworn to
support, and to vote for Union men and
measures.
Three citizens of Louisville, detained at
Memphis, undertook to walk here, were
arrested twice and one of them hung. They
saw near the road a man lying helpless, and
in dying condition, with his head shaved
and his ears and nose cut off. This crime
was of being of Northern birth.
The Macon Telegraph says a company
of volunteers at Portsmouth, Va, were ar
rested for voting for the Union.
The Louisville Journal this morning ac-
cused the secessionists with taking an oath
to support the Constitution, to obtain
arms, at the same time claiming the oath
as not binding.

A very unfortunate shooting affair occur
red in Leavenworth city on Thursday,
June 49, resulting in the killing of Mr..
Satterlee, of the Leavenworth Daily Herald,
by D. R. Anthony, proprietor of the Leav-
enworih Daily Conservative. The immedi-
ate cause of the difficulty was personal
article which appeared in the Herald of that
morning. rejecting on Mr.. Anthony
There had been for several days contro-
versy going on between the two papers, in
relation to the taking of the secession flag
at Iatan. Missouri, by some of the Kansas
boys at Camp Lincoln and this led to the
difficulty, as we understand it. On the
morning of the date given above. Nj. An
thony. in company with friend named
Hamer, met Mr.. Satterlee on the street.
whersupon Mr.. A. handed Mr.. s. copy
Of that mornings Herald, pointing out the
offensive article, denouncing it as lIe' and
requesting a retraetion. This Mr.. s. re-
fused to do. Both commenced drawing
their pistols, and Anthony, as we gather
from the coroner's inquest, fred on Satter-
lee first. Mr.. s. returned the fire. and i'm
nediately started to run. He was followed
BY Mr.. Anthony. who fired several shots at
him as he retreated up fight of stairs
near by. Satterlee died in fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Anthony immediately gave himself up
to the authoriti of the city, and is now at
liberty, under heavy bail.

= The election, on the 11th, for Congress
man, seems to have excited but little inter-
est. Conway had no opposition and of
course is elected. We think it would have
been good thing if some Democrat would
have run, just to have made the Republi-
cans turn out a little better. There amt
any fun in having an election without op-
position.
Our returns are very meager. 1u Leav'
enworth county $50 votes were cast, of
which Conway had majority of 257. In
Coffey county. the Register says, Conway
probably received over 500 votes. If this
is true. Cofey will be the banner county.
In that county they had county seat cleo
ton on the same day. Only about $50
votes we're cast in this county-all for Con-
way. In Madison only 49 votes polled. In
some of the largest counties no polls were
opened. This is true of Franklin county.
The vote was probably the lightest ever
cast in Kansas.

We learn that Gov. Robinson has ap
pointed E. P. Bancroft of this place, H. B.
Denman of Leavenworth, and S. E. Hoff-
man of Woodson county, agents to select
the land granted to the State by Congress.
This land consists of 500, 600 acres granted
to new States by the act of 1841, which is
applied by our Constitution to the nse of
Common schools: also, for the same use,
equivalent land in place of Sections Is and
SO which may have been preempted sew
enty-two sections for State University +;
twelve salt springs, with six sections of
land as contiguous as may be to each =; and
ten sections for the erection of public build
ings. This is work of great importance.
and we are confident it is in safe hands, as
two at least of the agents are by profession
land agents, and thoroughly acquainted
with the various qualities of land, and the
best locations throughout the State. We
understand they will start from this place
about the middle of July. and will have the
whole job completed in time for the Gov
ernor to report to the next Legislature.

DIFFICULTY AT ST. JOSEPH.

An attempt was made on Wednesday af-
ternoon about three o'clock to arrest several
q. S. soldiers in a saloon in st. Joseph, Mo.
1t was charged that they were drunk, and
were violating the peace. They resisted
the officers, and one of the number, who
belonged to Company E, was shot by po-
lice officer named Burns, after which the
others were allowed to go free. The MUIR
derer of the soldier was cheered by the Sc
cessionists present. A thousand and one
rumors are afioat as to the cause of the diff
Guilty, some eliminating the officer. others
generating him from blame. The partic-
ulars will probably be brought out to-day
in the examination before the Recorders
Court.
After Burns had shot the soldier, an old
man in the crowd called him a murderer.
Burns Immediately knocked him down.
About five o'clock in the evening, man
approached one of the howitzers in the U.
s. camp, and attempted to remove the COW
ering from the gun. He was ordered off,
and refused to GO. The sentinel then went
to him and pushed him away, which the
rebel resisted by drawing knife. The SOL
der struck at him with his gun. He then
attempted to escape by running, when he
was shot at from various portions of the
camp, some fifteen or twenty shots being
fired. He jumped into a large ditch, and
was arrested and taken into camp. He
proved to be a Capt Moore, an officer of a
rebel company at Chillicothe, Mo. There
is very little doubt but that il was his in
tention to try and spike the cannon, as a
rat-tail file was found that he had thrown
away.
The utmost excitement prevailed in camp.
and in less than five minutes every soldier
was in line, ready for fight. The firing
was done mostly by members of Company
E, the company to which the murdered SOL
der belonged, and whose men are very
much exasperated. 1t was without orders,
aud was only stopped by the officers plac-
ing themselves directly between the prisoner
and the soldiers.
Thursday last a crowd of rebels were
around the camp, and cursed and swore
and gave faint cheers for jeff. Davis
The Union men are jubilant at the pres
ence of the U. s. troops, and the stars and
stripes may be seen flying from seven diff
ferent places in the city.
The patriotic proprietors of the Patee
House ran up the national ensign on their
magnificent hotel. The Marshal of the CITY
demanded that the flag should come down.
This the proprietors declined doing, and
for further answer referred the rebel to Capt.
Sully, in command of the United States
forces. Our friends will remember the Pa
tee House.
The traitors had meeting at Capt Car
some. Wednesday night, about four miles
from st. Joseph.-LeaU. Times, jane 14th.

Large Force at Harpsr,s Ferry.

FREDERICK, june IS.
A returned Baltimorean from Harper's
Ferry informs me that the number of troops
there has been underestima.ed. Addition
al numbers were arriving by every train,
and they were so distributed that their
presence could scarcely be detected fifteen
minutes after their arrival. The probability
is that they are forwarded to other points.
They have abundance of artillery which is
so posted as in his estimation to render the
place impregnable. Two thousand troops
were expected to-day and tomorrow. A
Baltimore regiment is encamped at Bolivar
armed with Tennessee rifles. The Ken
tuckians are regarded with general suspicion
and dislike, and are almost in open mutiny.
Provisions were abundant, and the strictest
discipline was enforced.

Intense excitement exists and a determin-
ed air pervades the camp. CORPORAL"
AFFAIRS IN ST. JOSEPH.
The reception of the U. S. troops in St.
Joseph has been, on the whole, very favor
able. There is large and boisterous Sc
cession element there, but it remains, for
the present, in subsection.
The stars and stripes are once more I'M
furled in St. Jo., and Union men are now
fully protected.
1t is believed that there is no danger of a
collision. and that the Home Guard will be
peacefully and speedily organized.
On Saturday evening last, three compa-
MES of the Second Iowa Regiment. now
stationed at St. Joseph, went out to large
trestle-work bridge, on the railroad, near
Cameron. They found it on fire; extinguish-
ed the flames surrounded and secured a
large number of Rebels-arresting in all
twenty -one took four secession flags, and
large number of firearms and ammunition;
and arrived again at camp at ten o'clock
Sunday morning. The bridge had been
saturated with turpentine, and the troops
arrived just in time to prevent its destruc-
ton. The Secessionists were completely
taken by surprise. Lieut.. Col. futile COM
manded the expedition.
1t is reported that John s. Phelps, a mem
Der of Congress from Missouri, has about
10000 good Union men under arms in the
southern portion of the State. There are
also about 1000 Germans in Pettis and
adjoining counties, who have been under
drill for some time, with the intention OF
fighting for the Government, whenever
their services are required.

THE CROPS.

We have made extensive inquiry. for the
week past, in regard TO the condition OF the
wheat and corn crops in this section Of
country. Our inquiries extend throughout
the most of Breckirridge. portions of Mad
ison, Chase, Butler, Hunter and Woodson
counties; and the answers, in every case,
are of the most satisfactory. character. A
few fields of wheat we're injured, two or
three weeks ago, by the army worm. It
was feared two weeks since that the wheat
would be very seriously damaged by rust,
in consequence of the frequent rains, but
the weather since that time has been dry
and windy, and In but few instances has
the wheat been struck with the rust and
where it has, it is confined to the blades.
Kind Providence has indeed smiled gra-
ciously, and the hearts of our farmers are
to be made glad with abundant harvests for
their efforts. They deserve it. We have
never seen as patient set of fellows as our
Kansas farmers. In this region they have
toiled faithfully for four years, to develop
VIC ASCOoANOo Va sACA oOOPto0 NldeCs &Adn1
times have their hearts almost failed them,
and they have been ready to "lay
down the shovel and the hoe" in despair.
1t is long lane that has no turning. The
lane of Bad Luck IN farming seems to have
made square turn. The corn looks splen-
didly, and can almost be seen growing.
Some fields are already "tasseling out 7"
In good season, our corn6elds look more
like young forests than cornfelds. Every
thing indicates. at present, that we shall
have -four and corn to sell, instead of hav-
ing to go to Pukedom for our breadstuffs.
Much of the fall wheat has already been
cut. We have examined some of the grain,
and find it the finest, latest and plumpest
we have ever seen. In few days the spring
wheat will be ripe. and our farmers will be
in the midst of harvest.
