frs6h Troubles IN Missouri.
From present prospects. Northern Mis-
soari will again experience seeession trou-
b.ss. this Winter. The removal Of Fre-
mont, and the Withdrawal Of the army
from Southern Missouri. Especially the
latter,) we're very unfortunate steps. Al
soon q the army commenced its retro
grade movement, Price again turned bis
fses northward. and the Union citizens
are flying before him. Warsaw has been
burned. Lexington is again in danger.
and Prics. with a.lsrse army. is said to

dsvsstste oar State. and no adequate forcs
to oppose him. Gen. Stcin is reported
to Be on the north side of the river. with
. heavy fores. with the intention Of taking
st. Joseph.
A large portion Of Prices army has
been disbanded for the Winter. and the
men have suddenly and secretly returned
. to Northern Missouri. Platte County is
overrun with them. and they are said to
be swarming all along the railroad. We
may expect soon to hear of the track be-
ing torn mp, bridges burnt, and the tele.
graph wires cut. In command Of Col.
Smith, there is not much hope that St.
Joseph can be successfully defended.
Under his rule, secession has been foster

the traitors are endeavoring to capture all
the Union members Of the State Conven-
tion. A company Of Union men. we
learn. have since entered Oregon. but the
seeessionists are still in the vicinity, ma
king threatening demonstrations. The
infamous Captain Upton is at their head.
There is no doubt that Northern Mis-
souri is filing up with traitors. who mean
to make trouble this Winter. From the
past conduct Of the Government and the
military authorities. the people can have
no assurance of protection or security,
except that which they obtain BY their
own strong right arms. Every Union
man in Missouri should forthwith arm
himself with such weapons as he can pro-
cure. and go to killing. In Kansas. the
Home Guards will be an indispensable
institution, and should be stationed at
every point on the river. They will be
amply able to defend Ksnsas against any
of the secession guerilla bands that may
b. led over BY traitors who have been
driven from here but should Price and
his horde meet with no successful opposi-
tion. next Spring will open up on des-
olats looking Kansas. LH
