of General Prices rebel army consisted OF eX-
Governor Claib. Jackson and few Of the secession
members OF the late Missouri Legislature When

Co., and selecting couple Of rebels named John
B. Clark and Il. l.. \. Peyton to represent her
people in the Confederate Senate. With these pro
ceedings the farce might have closed, and received

this country. Having called themselves legisla
