The Daily Dispatch: December 5, 1860., [Electronic resource], The Kansas troubles. (search)
wly, the men having very sore feet, occasioned by marching over rough, roads, General Parsons passed through Calhoun yesterday, on a secret mission to the border. At the latest accounts, Montgomery was still encamped at or near Fort Scott, and defied the world to take him. It is thought that he will leave when he hears of the approach of Generals Harney and Frost. The people in all the border counties endorse the action of Governor Stewart in sending out troops. If they can only catch Montgomery, a general day of thanksgiving will be held in the Osage Valley. Gen. Frost's command will encamp to-night at Calhoun. Two suspicious characters, supposed to be Montgomery's spies, were seen yesterday in the northern part of Henry county, making tracks in the direction of Fort Scott. Montgomery's men are all through the country, giving out reports to mislead the people. These recent outrages on the Western border by abolition bands, are kindling a strong disunion spirit hereabouts.
