ST. LOUIS, August 14.-1t appears that

through East St. Louis last evening was
gotten up by merchants and planters of
different places in Mississippi having such
negroes who wish to emigrate to Kansas.
The opportunity is given them to go there

and il they like it can stay, but If they
dislike it can return. The expense OF the
trip is merely nominal. 1t seems that the
planters apprehend that after the present
cotton crop is picked there will be an ex-
tensive exodus from the South. Some OF
them therefore got up this excursion, with
the expectation that unfayorable accounts
would be brought back and have strong
influence upon the negroes generally, and
eventually kill the migratory movement.
Quite large number Of whites took ad.
