of them wogered $25, and staked the money,
that within 45 hours the Rebel flag would wave
over ST. Louis. Troops begin to arrive in large

are commanded by Gen. Ii. NJ. Prentiss who

Two additional regiments are about to be
raised in Kansas for service in New-Mexico. At
present there is something Of panic in Eastern
and Southeastern Kansas itself, aud south of

that his money was in Missouri currency, which,
