The troubles in Kansas. St. Louis, Dec. 14. --A special dispatch from Mound City, Kansas, of the 8th inst., to the Democrat, says: All is quiet there and no arrests have been made. Montgomery, Jenison, Seamon and others, are not to be found. General Harney has ordered two companies of infantry, under Major Wessels and Capt. Lyon, to be stationed at Mound City, and two companies of dragoons, under Capt. Steele, at Fort Scott. Gen. Harney wished to declare martial law, but Governor Medairy would not consent, preferring that the United States Marshall should make the arrears, and the prisoners be tried by Territorial law.
