Missouri.

The Missouri Convention has kept
the faith and completed the good
work at last. On Tuesday it declared
the Offices Of Governor, Lieut.. Govern
or and Secretary of State vacant, by
a vote of Sc to 25, and on Wednesday,
II elected Hamilton II. Gamble, Gov
crnor, William p. Hall, Lieut.. Govern.
or, and Mordecai Oliver, Secretary of
State, by unanimous votc-thc small
secession minority not voting. The
present Legislature was also declared
vacant.
This Convention was called in the
first instance by Claib. Jackson & Co..
for the purpose of taking the State
out of the Union-a thing they could
not legally do. They have put Claib
jackson himself out of oflicc--a thing
they could legally do. Hcnceforth
Missouri is in the hands of Union men.
The Government of the State is loyal
and true to the Constitution. Hence
forth. beyond the duty of protecting
her border from incursons of savages
from Tennessee, Arkansas and the In
dian Territory, the Federal Govern
ment will not be required to maintain
an army within her boundaries. The
act of the Legislature calling the Con-
vcntion directed the latter body to
take "such action as the interests
and welfare of the State might re-
quire." Right manfully have they
performed this duty Z!
Gen. Pillow has actually invaded
Missouri, by invitation of Claib Jack
son, with from ten to twenty thousand
troops. He has issued a proclamation
full of vengeance towards the loyal
lists, but he will find Gen. Fremont
after him with something better than
sharp sticks.
On the 5th inst. 1900 rebels, all
mounted, attacked 500 Union men ct
Athens, Mo-, near the mouth Of the
Des Moines river. The Union men had
two cannon and repulsed the rebels,
who fled with loss of 20 killed and a
large number wounded and taken
prisoners, Sixty horses were captured.
The Union men under Capt Colmore
were greatly aided by Capt. Bellkrop's
City Rifles and Capt. Samples caval-
ny, of Keokuk. on foot, using long
range rifles. The battle lasted two
hours. The Union men were reinforc-
cd by McDowell's division of 400 men,
which left Keokuk that morning.
500 troops left in the afternoon under
Col. Worthington.

Mr. JEFF. Davis has made a speech
at Richmond, in which he pronounces
the victory great, glorious and com
plete. He said we had whipped them
this time, and we could whip them
again as often as they offered us the
opportunity. In abiding to the vast
ness and Importance of "our capture"
he said we had taken every thing the
enemy had on the feld--sixty pieces
of splendid cannon, of the best and
most improved models, vast quanti-
ties of ammunition, arms enough Of
various descriptions to equip a large
army, hundreds of wagons and am
balances of the most Luxurious make,
and provisions enough to feed an
army of fifty thousand men for twelve
months. The headlong retreat of the
enemy, he compared to the wild and
hurried flight of scared covey Of
