The Kansas troubles. --A dispatch from Warsaw, Mo., dated the 2d inst., says: General Frost's brigade encamped last night between Calhoun and Belmont. They are moving slowly, 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

yself, and an appropriation for that purpose had passed the Senate of the United States. They were content that it should be submitted to the board for examination and decision, like the other claims. Both governments were bound respectively to pay the amounts awarded to the several claimants "at such times and places as may be fixed by and according to the tenor of said awards." I transmitted this convention to the Senate for their constitutional action on the 3d May, 1860, and on the 27th of the succeeding June they determined that they would "not advise and consent" to its ratification. These proceedings place our relations with Spain in an awkward and embarrassing position. It is more than probable that the final adjustment of these claims will devolve upon my successor. I reiterate the recommendation contained in my Annual Message of December, 1858, and repeated in that of December, 1859, in favor of the acquisition of Cuba from Spain by fair purchase. I firmly

just sent them a battery of six guns; and three rice planters have sent them their checks for $200 a piece. Then we have a troop, called the Marion Light Troop, of 52 men, to which I belong. We had a present of $250 last week; and if we do have to fight we will be ready to do so. Our railroad is still pushing on, and will not stop. All other business is at a stand still. Personal liberty law in Vermont. The final action of the Vermont Legislature, before its adjournment on the 27th ult., was to refer this whole subject to the commissioners on the revision of the laws of the State, with instructions to report whether the present law upon the rendition of fugitive slaves is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States. The commissioners of revision who are to take the matter in charge are ex-Judges Milo L. Bennett, Pierpont and Isham, and Hon. Andrew Tracy, formerly member of Congress — all known to be men of strong conservative tendencies. Views of a Republ

e vote was announced, Mr. Single of Miss., said he declined voting on this question, because the Legislature of his State had called a Convention to consider the matter. He believed his people would determine for themselves. Mr. Jones, of Georgia, gave as a reason for not voting, that his State also had called a convention to decide as to its Federal relations, and did not want Congress to decide for her. Mr. Hawkins, of Florida, said his State also had appointed the same day in January for a convention to take into consideration this question. The people had determined in that way to determine on the true manner and mode of redress. It was for them to settle in their sovereign capacity, and not for him, therefore, to take any action here on the subject. He was against all compromised. Mr. Clopton, of Ala, declined to vote, because his State had called a Convention. Mr. Gartrell, of Georgia, also declined on the same ground. Mr.--offered a resolution that

I again recommend to Congress the passage of a law in pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution, appointing a day certain, previous to the 4th March, in each year of an odd number, for the election of representatives throughout at the States. A similar power has already been exercised, with general approbation, in the appointment of the same day throughout the Union for holding the electioed that fifteen out of the thirty, three States composing the Confederacy were without representatives, and that, consequently, these fifteen States would be disfranchised by such as all These fifteen States will be in the same condition on the 4th March next Ten of them cannot elect representatives, according to existing State laws, until different pe extending from the beginning of August next until the months of October and November.

Europe, the most calumnious caricatures of Southern society are current, propagated by anti-slavery American tourists on the continent. A Southern American cannot enter society in any part of the world, without being confronted at the threshold by the effects of these insidious libels, whilst gentlemen from Cuba and Brazil, both slave countries, find no such embarrassments in their way, thus showing that it is not slavery which causes the prejudice, but the deliberate and malignant use of it that is made to our injury by the traveling enemies of the Southern States. Strange and incredible as it may seem to us, this story about the insult to the Prince in Richmond, which is known to be untrue by the Duke of Newcastle, the admirable and esteemed British Consul at this city, by the May or and Richmond Committee in attendance, has now traveled over the civilized world, and gone so fast and been so long upon its journey, that it is questionable whether the truth will ever overtake it.

It is but an act or simple justice, both to our present minister and his predecessor, to state, that they have proved fully equal to the delicate, trying and responsible positions in which they have on different occasions been placed. Japan. The ratifications of the treaty with Japan, concluded at Yedo on the 29th July, 1858, were exchanged at Washington on the 22d May last, and the treaty itself was proclaimed on the succeeding day. There is good reason to expect that, under its protection and influence, our trade and intercourse with that distant and interesting people will rapidly increase. The ratifications of the treaty were exchanged with unusual solemnity. For this purpose the Tycoon had accredited three of his most distinguished subjects as envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary, who were received and treated with marked distinct

316,226.13. Whilst the books of the Treasury show an actual expenditure of $59,848,474.72 for the year ending on the 30th June, 1860, including $1,010,667.71 for the contingent expenses of Congress, there must be deducted from this amount the sum of $4,296,009.26, with the interest upon of $150,000, appropriated by the act of 15th February, 1860, "for the purpose of supplying the deficiency in the revenues and defraying the expenses of the Post Office Department for the year ending the thirtieth of June, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine." This sum, therefore, justly chargeable to the year 1859, must be deducted from the sum of $59,848,474.72, in order to ascertain the expenditure for the year ending on the 30th June, 1860, which leaves a balance for the expenditures of that year of $55,402,465.46. The interest on the public debt, including Treasury notes for the same fiscal year ending on the 30th June, 1860, amounted to $3,177,314.62, which, added to the above sum of $55,402,
