Missouri IN THE COMING CoNGREss-As the
day of the meeting of the special session of Con-
gress approaches, the question whether Missouri
will be fully represented in that body or not be-
comes one of increasing interest In the House,
there will be partial representation, but there
is reason to believe it will not embrace the pres
ence of all the members from the State. Messrs
Blair, Phelps, NOEL and Rollins will certainly be
in attendance, since there is no reason for the
absence of either of them.
Messrs. Reed and Norton will, no doubt, be
present also, though neither of them has yet
started for Washington. We are not aware that
either of them has been involved, to the slight
est extent, in Governor Jackson's revolt. Both
are new members, never having been in Con-
gress before, and we feel confident therefore,
that they will be present at the special session.
There is Gen. John B. Clark, however, from
the Second District, whose designs are involved
in some obscurty; and there are our two Sena-
tors, Messrs. Polk and johnson, concerning
whose movements the public requires some en-
lightenment
Gen. Clark, it is said, is in Gov. Jacksons re-
treating army, so thoroughly implicated in the
Governors revolt as to make his appearance at
Washington somewhat imprudent. Senator
johnson is thought to be in the same prcdica-
ment. He has declared he would not take his
seat, and he probably will not This being the
case, Congressman Clark and Senator johnson
| ought to resign at once.
The approaching extra session will be one OF
much Importance, and it will be cause Tor
shame to Missouri that any of her National Rep.
resentatives should be incapacitated by their
own crimes, to perform their public duties.-lSt

either to get married right off or go with me to

there was no use inquiring for details, or rho
he had to marry. He finally took the choice of
evils, matrimony or Jail, by accepting the for

GEOGRAPHICALLY DRUNK.-Mr. John Erskine
OF ST. Louis, was lately arrested by policeman
III the streets OF that town, just at the instant,
when posted in front of banking house, he was
attempting-not to pick the lock (Mr. Erskine
is AN honest man)-but to smash one of the gran

with natural laws, not yielding TO Ills nish
NEXT Mr.. Erskine treated it as rebel, and
threatened it with federal vengeance, to the
great delight of those cheerful spectators who
had collected to view the scene.
When brought up before the magistrate, Mr..
Erskinc made every !audahe attempt to pre-.
serve the perpendicular. Not succeeding in this
TO his perfect satisfaction, he came to an AMIGA
bic understanding for the purpose of support
with the shoulders of the officer who had arrest

THk AMERICAN PARrY.-We are told to speak
nothing of the dead but good; but there is one
dead creature of which no good is spoken. The
best thing it ever did was to die; and it is a com
fort to know that the events of the past few
weeks have rendered its resurrection impossible.
We speak of the thing formerly known as the
American party. Ofal the dirty, skulking, mean

time has expelled, the American party was the
chief 1t was begotton in darkness, brought
forth by stealth, nurtured by nfamy, and it
died at last of its own inherent rottenness. A
few common men, who should never have left
the retirement of private life, brought by it
above the surface, and they have sunk, we trust
to rise no more. 1t was held up by its ears long
after it was dead for their particular benefit, but
it slipped down init boots at last, and they slip

LIVELY CHAPLAlN.-A member of the
Richardson Light Infantry, writing home from
Fortress Monroe, gives a sketch of a New York
Chaplain who is full of fun and fight. He was
asleep when the troops started for Great Bethel,
but as the last company started he was awakened
and dressed himself, mounted his horse and
started He has small pistol about inches
long, which he calls his "Floyd Gun"
He related the following account of the bat
tie: He went into the field to encourage the
men and take care of the wounded, when one
of them "durn" Secessionists blazed away at
him. 1t astonished him, and he thought it must
be a mistake, when another ball came blowing
through his cap, about an inch and half above
his head. That made him mad; he did not
come there to be piched out for target, and so
he up with his "Floyd Gun" and popped away
at them. A soldier at his side asked him what
good he thought he did, when he (the Chaplain)
considered that an insult, aud told the soldier
if he did not tumble the next man down he
would report him for wasting ammunition. The
soldier let drive, when one of the rebels threw
his arms into the air and disappeared behind the
breastworks. = Lowell Courier.

5ss ONK 0. HUNTER AND BAYARD's PETITIONS -
The compromise dodge is being tried on in
New York city. petition has been circula.
ting for some weeks, praying the President to
call Convention of the States to discuss the
propriety of allowing the rebellious States to
separate quietly from the Union. About five
hundred names were obtained under every i'm.
aglnabie pretexts, and yesterday several gen.
tlemen lodged information with Superintendent
Kennedy, regarding the paper, which, they al
legged, they had signed without knowing its i'm
port. The petitions were found at the office of
Mr.. Charles Guion, No. 10 Wall street.. and
brought in, and the gentlemen erased their
names. 80.
The following is copy of the petition, which
was, no doubt, concocted by Bsyard, Hunter
Co, at the recent Compromise Convention
in New York:
10 ms E1ceheney abraham Lincoln, President of
tie United States.
The undersigned, citizens of New York, beg
leave to present to you most respectfully the
following considerations, to wit:
While they hold themselves ready to maintain
and defend their Government, and YOU as its
legal head, they respectfully suggest that the
only remaining honorable position for you to
take to prevent the horrors of civil war and pre-.
serve TIE UNION, is to adopt the policy of an
Immediate General Convention of all the States,
as suggested in your Inaugural. This course
would secure peaceful solution Of our national
difficulties; and if any State refused to Join said
Convention to amend the Constitution or adjust
peaceful separation, it would stand unani
mousiy condemned before the civilized world.
Earnestly deprecating civil war among breth-
rem, we lMPLoRE and BEsEECH you to accept tits
course, which, you may rest assured, is the real
VOICE OF THE People.
