CONSIDERATION IN MISSOURI.
Car tain Comingo, provost marshal under
the conscription act for the sixth congress
sional district of Missouri, who has just ar
rived in St. Louis from Lexington, reports
that great alarm and excitement exists on
the Missouri side of the border. Citizens
are apprehensive that Jim Lane and Jen-
nison, who are at the head of bands of
Kansas miltiamen in pursuit of Quantrell's
guerrilas, will enter the State and retaliste
in kind for Quantrelrs destruction of Law
renee and massacre of its citizens. A ru-
NOR was current when lie left. that indie
pendence had been destroyed by them, but
this he believes to be untrue, or at least pre-
mature. Citizens Of Jackson and neigh
boring counties were, however, fleeing in
great numbers fiom their homes, taking
with them their families and such goods of
value as would bear hasty removal The
alarm extended as far down as Lexington.
and, although no panic existed in that place
as in others west of it, there was much ex
element and apprehension Of visit with
violent results from invaders from Kansas.
