From the Banner.
OUR Tar TO JErFEnsoN.-In response
10 call from Gov. Jackson, some 1000
volunteers sssembled al jefferson City TO
defend the capitol Of the State, which had
been threatened by the Federal officers in
command a, ST. Louis. Three companies
went from this county one from Boons-
lick, containing about eighty FIVE men,
commanded by Captain Thos. Turner-an-
other from ,Moniteau Township, contain
ing about fifty men, commanded by Capt.
Gus Elgin, and another from Fayette. con-
tanning about seventy men, commanded BY
Capt. Jno. B. Clark, jr. All Of these men
returned to their respective homes, in good
health, on Saturday last. !
The troops assembled at Jeffcrsof, City
were called there for no ether purpose than
to defend the city aud the archives Of The
State. A truce, protocol, srmistio COM
promise or ngreemsnt of some kind having
been entered into between Gen. Price, the
Commander in. Chief " Missouri State
Guards, and Gen. Harvey. commander Of
the Federal troops in Missouri, removed
the necessity Of keeping military force
81 the Capitol, and they were at once dis
missed from service They, however all
went home in an organized form, and will
keep themselves in READINGS 10 take the
field whenever the honor Of the State and
the liberties Of her people are attack
ed from any quarter. Gentle, dove
eyed peace, with folded wings, is now
perched upon our banner, and there We
trust she will be allowed to remain unless
her presence has to be purchased with the
pricslsss pearls Of liberty.
So much Of the terms Of The agreement
between Gems. Price and Harvey as have
been made public. do not amount to much,
and bear upon their face indioaiisns Of a
regular "sell-out" on the part Of the, State.
By this, we mean that no redress is secured
TO the State fer the wrongs heaped upon
her by the capture Of Camp jackson, and
other outrsges which have been perpstra,sd
by the Federal troops IN Missouri. Yet
We are assured that much Of this agreement
has not bisn made public, and we are in
duced 10 believe that peace has not been
purchased ct the price of honor We PEE
sumo that all tina, has been done is "for the
best"-at least so we will continue 10 be-
lieve until we arc convinced that we are
are wrong. ~. t..-f.,. III
The troops that assembled st Jefferson
City were most determined. best looking,
best behaved, most orderly and harmonious
body Of men we ever saw assembled in the
same numbers. This is the more nste-
worthy, when we consider the hasty man
ner and exciting circumstances under which
they were called out. s..- .-a
Cd Our own experience Of soldiers life,
although BY no means one Of pleasure and
ease, was not as severe as we expected il
would be, and instead of di.heartening US,
only gave US an appetite for more active
service. We believe this is a universal
Feeling Of minority of those who went TO
Jefferson as soldiers and officers; but il is
10 be hoped, FOR the sake of all concerned,
that an honorable peace can be maintained
in our beloved State
Capt. Clark, while in Jefferson City, was
promoted 10 the. rank of Msier Of the LIST
Battalion Of the Fad Regiment, but aftef-
wards, together with Col. Stein and Lieu

Captain Of our company almost unanimeus-
ly, and d. c. Brown was elected to the
End LIeutenacy. made vacant by the pre-
motion of Capt. Farris: Tho company
