movement of the French troops will take
place on the 9th of November next, when

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE news from indie
pendence concerning the killing of the city
marshal, for refusing to surrender the keys
of the Jail where rebel bushwhacker is
confined, is a fine illustration of the progress
of reconstruction in that famous guerrilla
region. The threats of guerrillas to rescue
guerrillas from the Lawrence, Kansas, Jail,
is the cause of the continued presence Of a
company of United States regulars in that
section. There are at least FIVE hundred
guerrillas at large in Lafayette and Saline
counties, half of whom combine and can ac-
complish mischief when they desire it.

opened with a crowbar, and the safe blown
open with powder. The money taken was
mostly special dsposits, the bank only los
ing some $500. No clue is yet had to the
thieves.

and in a short time the boat wa turned to
the waters edge. She was moved up to her
present landing from the lower end Of the
levee, in order to avoid the very catastrO-

The Magnolia came out a new boat last

which were originally on the Imperial. She
belonged to the Merchants Line, and was
built at a cost of $ll5,000. We are inform
cd that one of the owners stated few days
ago that t1e boat was insured for $4,000
The career of the Magnolia has been very
checkered from the start. She was head
over ears ia debt, and was that class Of boat
that could not possibly make money enough
to redeem herself She was considered
among bostmen Ito use political phrase)
dead duck. She wss built by Capt Perkins,
principally on his muscle, as the painters,
butchers, carpenters and almost everybody
else that had anything to do with her have
never been paid.
