It is io be hoped that every printing olficeTn Hie Stale will be represented. The Teitc Haute Cnion well and truly says:— . .

A ieliable person recently from the vicinity of Fort Scott matters there as similar lo those of the times uf the notorious. Murrell. The tv hide country is divided into jayhawkets and antijayliawkcts. Tim tui trier arc said to he openly upheld by some pieachcrs and many other respectable people. Thejayhawkers justify their acta as proper revenge fur the same kind cf depredation? nud worse atrocities committed on them by the pro-slavery party when they- wore in the majority. The prosecutions, pending on aeaoimt of former troubles are the great cause’of llift dissatisfaction. The OsEawalmnio (Kansas) correspondent of : the-St. Louis Democrat says that Captain Hamilton, the leader of the pm(y who committed the atrocious minders at Chouteau's Trading| Post, last May, has taken the field in southern Kansas with a large body off desperate men," and has already committed various outrages. Mr. Builoy.-aFrce State man, charged with stealing negroes from Vernon comity-, Mo., Im been killed, and the house of Mr. Broomfield, Free State resident of Vernon county,was sacked and burned. 1 It was reported that Montgomery was raising a party to repel the invasion of Hamilton, and that both parlies are determined to light. The Times* Washington correspondent says the Administration authorized the Marshal to offer 3250 reward each for the capture of-Montgomery ami Brown, and to increase his posse to any number desired. ■
