Affairs in KanSnS.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.-A special dispatch to
the Democrat, dated yesterday, states that the
excitement which has prevailed in Kansas
since the Lawrence massacre has subsidized,
and in its place has come a determination
tearfully earnest to avenge that terrible act.
There seems to be no confidence in, nor re-
spect for, Gen. Schofed. A W days ago
Gen. Lane and G. A. Wilder sent a telegram
to the president, saying that the incompetency
of Gen. Schofleld was deplorable, and unless
there was change of commanders immedi-
ately, there was danger of conflict between
people and military. The reply of president
did not indicate Ills policy.
Gen. Schofeld's order No. 8 has only in
tensi6ed the popular feeling. The meeting at
Paola tomorrow will probably be the largest
ever held in the state Parties are going in
wagons with arms and rations from all parts
of the state. They will not go into Missouri
if the military show any disposition to drive
the rebels from the infected districts. Guam
trell and Onzbar are about 80 miles from
Kansas City, with largely increased force.
The 5000, 900 in cash taken out of Lawrence
have given them glory and recruits, and their
numbers have swollen from 200 to 1900. In
Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Paola and Ossa-
wattomee the citizens are under arms, and all
the towns are nightly guarded by patrols. The
military are no longer relied on.
Lieut. Gov. Osborne will probably preside
at'the Paola meeting. Aplattorm of the most
radical character will be adopted. The re-
moval of Schofeld and Ewing will be de-
manded; common cause will be made with the
emancipationists of Missouri; and commit
tee will be appointed to go to Washington with
the Missouri committee. The people of Kan
sas will not rest until Schofeld is removed,
and man placed in command who, instead
OF being praised by one faction and condemned
by the other, will deserve and receive the APP
pause of all loyal men, and be hated by the
rebels.

NEWARK, Sept. 8.-The 33d New Jersey
regiment was on the wharf at noon as per or.
ders, and whilst waiting the whole afternoon
Tor transport several men became unrulv
and they were shot dead by the guard, max
ing SIX killed. The bodies of two who ran the
guard last night, have been found, making our
nrst report of three killed correct. More
trouble is apprehended. The regiment is be-
ing disarmed.
FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. THE steam

"There is a river in the ocean; in the Sc
verest droughts it never fails, and in the
mightiest floods it never Overflows; its banks
and its bottom are of cold water, while its
current is of warm the Gulf of Mexico is i is
fountain, and its mouth is in the arctic seas.
1t is the Gulf Stream. There is in the wer Id
no other such majestic flow of waters. Its
current is more rapid than the Mississippi or
the Amazon, and its volume more than a
thousand times greater. Its waters, as far
out from the Gulf as the Carolina coast, are
OF an indigo blne. They are so distinctly
marked that their line OF junction with the
common sea-water, may be traced by the eye
Often one half ofthe vessel may be perceived
floating in the Gulf Stream water, while the
other half is in common water of the sea-so
sharp is the line, and such the want of affinity
between those waters, and such, too, the re-
luctance, so to speak, on the part of those
OF the Gulf Stream to mingle with the littoral
waters of the sea"
Mr.. Maury's words flow as sweetly in his
letter to the London Times, as ever they did
In his Physical Geography of the Sea" but
alas with as little foundation in truth, that
slight element, by some people however con-
sidered somewhat essential in a statement.
seems to be wanting III whatever the learned
gentleman asserts. Since coming from his
deep sea soundings, which swamped him ut
terly in the scientific world, he has launched
forth on another river flowing through the
wild ocean of rebellion, whose current he de-
clares to the London Times, is not "blue,"
though everybody with eyes not color blind,
can see that its blueness deepens to that of
the waters of the Indian Ocean which, he
says himself, are described by the poets as
"black waters" This river of treason, he
declares to the Times, never fails in the Sc
verest drought, drawing its sources from the
far away ranges of northern hills, but looking
at its armies in the field, how they are fading
away, how hosts are deserving from them,
one would think that the river was drying at
us source, and no flood, even from northern
freshet could urge it on to another overflow.
As to its banks and bottom we trust they are
of cold water, very cold-so cold that we
should not be surprised to have the bottom
fall out any day; the loyalty and union sem
timent over which this wild, destructive river
flows, must be cold to so fierce torrent heated
from nethermost fires, and when it has passed
away will be found, we hope, steadfast and
true as ever.
The Gulf of Mexico was certainly its foun-
tain, though Carolina was its spring (Maury
forgets to lie there); and it does circle round
the English coast, with its mouth toward the
Arctic ocean; it is in fact aGuf stream! As

CHATTANOOGA, Sept, 4.-The enemy were
signalling all night on Waldron's bridge, but
everything is remarkably quiet across the
river to-day. There are no further indica-
tons of an advance on the part of Rosecrans.
The Knoxville Register has been removed to
Cleveland. Capt. j. r. Hodges of the LIST
confederate infantry was shot at noon to-day
for encouraging assertions from his own COM
pany, and embezzling the money of substi-
tutes. He made a short speech, acknow-
Lodging the justice of the sentence, manifest
ed but little concern, and died without Il
struggle. Lieut.. Col. Adolphe of the same
regiment was cashiered and conscripted yes
terday for having been concerned in the same
offence.
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 5.-Although the two
armies are in close proximity there is no un-
derstanding of early engagements, but Il slight
cause may bring it on at any moment. Our
cavalry at Drivers Ferry opened on the enc

certaining the strength of the enenly's batter

an hour Il lively artillery duel was kept up,
without injury on our side. The discipline
and health of our army are very fine. The
troops are i'll the best of spirits. Nothing has
been heard from General Buckner's com.
mand.
