Tho Pro-Slavery Party In Kansas Glv- ; ingjGp. The New York,Post him an important letter from "a gentleman who:has held fqr some time, and cbntinties to hold, official relation witH'tha present Administration in Kansas.” :lt appears from'the statements of this correspondent, that the Pro-slavery party there’is entirely exhausted and broken down. Mr. Buchanan’s official thus writes ’from Fort Leavenworth, under date of February lOih: "The assertions of. Kansas- letter writers are justly viewed with considerable suspicion, but 1 will nevertheless venture to declare that tbs President’s statement, (echoed by the Administration press.) that tbe rejection of the Locompton Constitution will re-open the excitement here is wholly groundless. The Prp-8lavery party has exhausted all iu cunning. The suppression of the voting precincts at Oxford. Shawnee and Kiekapooprevents'« repetition of the frauds at these places: and ftora_ ray intercourse with leading Pro-Slavery men (federal office holders) in the territory, 1; know this parly, has not the slightest, intention of.entering into another contestfor j power ■ here. They will be only too, happy if, by a perfectly correct deportment, j they can secure parrdon for the past and permission to remain in the territory. ; hayerio doubt the registers and receivers jof public lands, wilt !cel easier, and sleep more soundly, if they can succeed in having one or two companies of sol die a stationed at. each land office, as a gui rd ostensibly for the public funds and recirds; but if the Lecomplon swindle is ejected' by Congress, the Governor will have no further use for the f’two thousand cgular troops.”

. Shears and hfs wife looked at each other steadily, as much as to say, "Pis all .up with us,” In an instant-he‘sprang for a window,-but the Officer was too quick, and then, seeing that all attempts at escape were useless,-he gave himself quietly .up. Upon leaving firs wife, he'lold her that he should probably not see her for eight years again,' and -left instruct ions for her lo go to her lather’s. He was at once led away and lodged in ihe jail,. After his arrest, the rooms,' which are in-the nppcr.Mory of the, tenement, were thoroughly searched, and all the appurtenances of a bogus mint, besides i| targe amount of counterfeiters apparatus, -was found. He is a well educated, and informed man, an onm-ally expect chemut, and probably the most' skilful and extensive bogus money uiaker ami counterfelter in the whole npith-west. The coins t>f his make are so near (he genuine as almost to defy the most rigid scrutiny.
