ST. Louu, Nay 9Th, 1861.
Qucntren must be ubiquitous. He Is re-
ported on excellent authority to have crossed
the Arkansas river, way off in the Indian
Territory, and to be making his why north
ward at the head OF t.o or three hundred
men, On a raid Yes, telegram from Mem
phis says, Qusntrell is cooperating With
Marnaduke In trying to cut off steele's COM
munications between Little Rock, and Cam
den. Ark. Wherever, he may be, Quantrel
Is undoubtedly ripe for mischief There Is
reason to believe that there IL truth In the
story Of his expected Temperance on tue
scene Of LIS former exploits, near the Kansas
line. Tho few people who remain inCaas and
jackson counties arc thoroughly alarmed
about Quantre1, and were pouring into Kan
say City and the river towns quite lively.
The military authorities arc making prepara-
tions likewise to receive Quantrcll, aud there
Is no doubt that Gen, E. B. brown, who is
the District Commander IN charge Of that
country will make d most desperate effort to
catch Qrautrell, Whenever that bandit shows
himself. Extra precautions have been taken
toprcyent the capture Of any Missouri river
boats by euerillas, and the military order
concerning the same will be rigfdly enforced.
These local appkchensions grow ont of the &C.
crct Information given BY secession families
and were tho Invariab1e forerunners of raids
BY the rebels.
If the buahvhackers under Quantrel1 really
make their appearance In the western pa<t Of
the State, there is no question that bush

nearly filled the quota Of Missouri under nil
