Missouri Convention.
JEFFERSON CRY, July

JEFFERSON Cry, July "a.
In the convention this morning Mr..
Mass introduced resolution to the
effect that any change in the Executive
government Of the State by the present
cdhYention, would not conduce to the
welfare Of Missouri. The resolution
was strongly debated, and finally re-
ferred to the committee Of seven chosen
to report what action this convention
shall take. Had vote bsen taken
on it it would have been lost.
After some other unimportant busi-
ness, the convention adjourned until
tomorrow morning. The convention
is waiting for the report Of the commit
tee Of seven, which represents every
Congressional district Of the State,
before taking any action. twill report
tomorrow. The State Government
in the Executive Department will be
reorganized. 1t is thought the present
incubent will be removed.
The city was thrown into a state OF
great excitement last evening at II
o'clock, owing to the pickets firing at
an officer who galloped past them not
knowing they we're there. He was not
hit. The firing summoned the troops
in the city and fair grounds to arms,
and the report got out that Jackson
was approaching the city with a large
force, which, Of course, was entirely
false.

The business OF the war department
to-day isremarkably heavy. Telegraph

senders rendering troops in surprising
numbers. For example, Illinois has Of

Of them have already started, and 9TH

The most vigorous measures are be.
ing adopted by the War Department
for thorough and complete reorganiza-
ton Of our army: The old system vii
be changed to practicable modes for the
better management Of our force, by pro-
viding reliable officers. To this end the
Secretary Of War has issued general
orders to day, that all officers Of regi-
ments will be subject to examination by
board Of officers, to be appointed by
the War Department, with the concur
renee of the commanders to-day.
Nearly $4,000 men have been accept
ed, and at this moment are being mar
shaled into service.
All over the North, the prompt ap-
pointment of Gen. Mcclellan, who is
now on his way here to command the
grand army, has given undoubted sat
isfaction and created great enthuiasm
among the soldiers.
The following additional wounded
have been received at Georgetown

amount Of produce for the use Of the
State, giving their obligations therefor.
l have not had the means to pay the
debt thus incurred, and these parties
have either had to pay it or go to pro-
test. In short, the entire amount Of the
expenses thus far incurred, to enable
the State Of Iowa to do her share in the
momentous struggle now going on for
the preservation of the Union, is unpaid,
and the parties to whom it is due are
pressing for payment. Fun ther expen-
penses will necessarily be incurred. /
am instructed to buy arms for the pro-
lection of our Southern and Western
frontiers, but am unable to do SO for
want of means. I anticipate further
acquisitions on this State for troops,
which must be met.
And now, men Of Iowa, under these
circumstances ! appeal to you for aid
and assistance. Your bonds cannot
be sold abroad. They must either be
sold at home, or the State must suffer
the disgrace, not only Of failing to do
her duty for the future, but Of failing to
pay the expenses already incurred
May not confidently trust that every
citizen Of Iowa will feel that his own
good name, as well as the good name
of the State, is involved in this matter,
and that will have his hearty and ef-
fectual aid? May not especially trust
that those of you, who, perhaps with
out knowing the difficulties by which l
have been surrounded, have thought
my action has not been sufficiently
prompt and energetic, will, now that
these difficulties are understood, see to
it that they shall be furnished for action
as proupt and energetic as You may
desire?
Let me earnestly entrea. every man
who has at heart the cause Of the coun-
try and the good name Of the State, to
take hold Of this matter and give me
his active assistance. Let meetings Of
our people be called, and the wants Of
the State explained to them, and if do
not wholly mistake the people Of Iowa,
they will take care that the good name
of our State shall not suffer, and will
show that those of us who remain at
home can do our duty to our country
rs well as those who follow our flag to
the field of battle.
