s from Kansas that a portion of Capt. Montgomery's mounted men reached Wyandotte on Thursday from Laurence, under orders from Col. Mitchell. Capt. Montgomery will at once take a position on the Kansas side of the Missouri line, ready to meet Governor Jackson's force whenever they make a movement from Independence towards Kansas City. The Republican learns that on Sunday 2,000 State troops were at Blenville, and 1,000 more at the opposite landing, where artillery has been posted on the elevated ground commanding the river, and several pieces were also mounted on the low ground opposite. General Lyon's expedition disembarked at Rockport, ten miles below, and would attack Governor Jackson from the rear. St. Louis, June 18.--A special dispatch from Jefferson City says:General Lyons' expedition left here yesterday in two steamers, destined, it is supposed, for Booneville.

Coming to Richmond. The first detachment of Scott's army, which was to have arrived in Richmond on the 29th of July, was, after all, only three days behind time. Among them are a part of the Zouaves, whose regiment was annihilated in the late battle, and whose old Colonel, Ellsworth, was killed by the patriot Jackson. We recollect to have seen an envelope, covering a letter from a New York Christian Association to the Christian Association of this city, in which Jeff. Davis was represented as hanging from a gallows, guarded by these Zouaves under Ellsworth. Where are Ellsworth and his Zouaves now! Where are the wretcher who came to Virginia, and were heard to declare on the cars from New York to Washington that they would dishonor every woman in the South and divide the farms among themselves? Where are the wretches whose favorite motto was "Beauty and Booty?" If the detachment which guarded the prisoners to their quarters Tuesday night had marched them at once to the river,

g from a Baltimore paper, and by that paper taken from that infamous sheet, the Wheeling Intelligencer. The article relates to the fight at Rich Mountain and succeeding events. We notices some of its falsehoods. It states that "Ex-Lieut. Gov. Wm. L. Jackson" "was killed at Cheat Mountain Pass."--Col. Jackson is safe with his regiment at Monterey. It states that Col. Lowry Wilson, of Morgantown, was killed at Rich Mountain Col. Wilson is now in this city. A statement made by the BlaCol. Jackson is safe with his regiment at Monterey. It states that Col. Lowry Wilson, of Morgantown, was killed at Rich Mountain Col. Wilson is now in this city. A statement made by the Black Republican editor, which our informant considers especially unjust and outrageous, is that Col. Heck had declared after his arrest that "six weeks ago he felt that he was on the wrong side." Our informant knows Col. II. well, and utterly discredits the statement. He believes him to be true and loyal to Virginia, and is confident that he never could have been induced to make such a confession as that attributed to him.

dge. In the sequel, by these same masses such men will be gibbeted. Infamy will cling to their very names. On the Alleghany line there is one regiment and one special battalion of Northwestern Virginians. The former commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. L. Jackson, and the latter by Lieutenant Colonel G. W. Hansbrough--in all about one thousand men. Praise to men as full of earnest determination to regain liberty and independence for their native land, is too idle a thing to afford them pleas," ready to leave at the first intelligence of Lee's approach. Pierpont is full of guilty fears even in Wheeling, and has not slept in that "loyal city" for four weeks, but goes out every evening on the Hempfield Railroad, to Washington, Pennsylvania. Mr. Editor, I cannot close this already long communication without bearing testimony to the entire confidence this army feels in the ability and vigilance of its Generals — Lee, Loring, and the amiable and accomplished Jackson. Northwest.

nd the whole world to the designs of the Administration at Washington to crush out the last vestige of free government here, and establish in its stead an absolutism more despotic and as irresponsible as that of Turkey. Thank God! the tyranny of that royal Governor will be short lived. The people of the State were already rushing by hundreds and thousands to the defence of their homes and liberties, and this act was scarcely necessary to drive the last Missourians to arms. Under Jackson, and Price, and McCulloch, and Hardee, and Pillow, a mighty host is gathering and advancing; and soon, like a thunderbolt, they will fall on the Hessian hordes of the tyrant and sweep them from the earth they pollute. To-day this petty creature of a bastard Nero, in his guarded tent, may dream of royalty, and imagine himself a king and the master of a million of his equals, but to-morrow will come, and then, a fugitive from the justice that must overtake him, or a trembling beggar for

Davidson, Maj. & A. A. G. Skirmishing near Winchester. From a letter in the Lynchburg Republican dated "Army of the Valley, Winchester, Va., Dec. 9," we extract the following: There has been some skirmishing down on the Potomac below Martinsburg this last week. On last Thursday Gen. Jackson ordered four pieces of Pendleton's battery and four companies of infantry to Martinsburg, for the purpose of destroying Dam No. 5 on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which would very much incommode the Federals; and on Saturday the battery took their position on the bank of the river to demolish the Dam, but the enemy opened fire upon them, when they were obliged to recross the river; our battery then opened fire upon the enemy, attempting to drive them from their position, and continued to
