From Missouri.
HrDsoN, No., July II

HUDSON, MO-, July lO.
Eight hundred Federal troops came up
ahead of the passenger train as far as
Melville, 80 miles above st. Charles on the
North Missouri r. r., where the track
was torn up and the troops fred into
An engagement ensued, resulting in the
loss of seven rebels killed and several
prisoners. One man caught with o gun
in his hand was Immediately hung.
Another, attempting to escape, was rid
died with balls. The fighting still con-
tinued when the passenger train passed
up. Federal loss, three killed and seven
wounded. Thirty horses were captured.
The strength of the rebels is not known.
The st. Louis Democrat of the 10Th, has
the following news from the Southwest,
fully confirming our previous reports of
the movements of the Arkansas troops:
Capt. Conrad's command, which had
been left at Neosho, report that on the
5th of July they were surrounded by
l,5OO Arkansas troops, and were given tif-
teen minutes time to surrender. Before
the time expired the enemy's force was
increased to 5000. Capt. Conrad then
surrendered his command. Ben McCul-
Tough was present.
Gen. Price and Gov. Jackson then de-
manded that their men and arms be de-
livered to the Missouri troops. The Ar
kansas officers refused this demand. Af-
terwards, Capt. Emmett Macdonald pass
ed among them and inquired if they were
not st. Louis boys. They replied they
were. The Captain then treated num-
ber of them to lager beer. They were
then sent off, after taking the obligation
not to bear arms against the Southern
Confederacy, under the escort of ArRan-
sas troops, as it was understood that the
Missourians intended to murder them.
The escort accompanied them some
thirty miles, when they were left to find
their way to Springfield.
A larger number of Indians was pres
ent in the camp at Neasho.

Revolt.

Seventy-one members of the New
York 25th Regiment were sent to Jail in
Washington on tho Sth inst, for revolt
ing. They were ordered TO repair to the
United States arsenal, and there ex-
change their Enfield rifles for the ordina-
ry musket. The members above stated
refused to comply with the order, when
the Colonel of the regiment, finding the
discont becoming general, ordered their
arrest. 1t is said that this discipline
caused them TO repent and they were
subsequently released. On the next day
portion of the Garibaldi Regiment re-
volted, and forced its way across tho
bridge into Washington, where, after
they had halted, they were surrounded
by United States regulars, to whom they
surrendered. They were lodged in Jail.
The unpopularity of their Colonel and
Lieut.. Colonel was the supposed cause
About thirty of the same regiment re-
fused to accept Minnie guns instead of
rifles, and were also lodged in Jail.

Direct Taxes and Audacity.

These arc the means recommended by
the New York Express 10 end the war
successfully. 1t says:
As the war is to be prosecuted, let it be
done with gigantic and Titanic force!-
Congress, Extra Session, ought, forthwith,
not only to levy high duty upon Tea
and Coffee, but to increase the duty on
Sugar. Direct 1ares must come, and he
quicker the better for the credit Of tie coutry
"Loans" will not long carry on the war,
and Direct Taxes are inevitable. The
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Chase
ought now to be preparing his programme
Of Farm Tax, Poll Tax, Carriage Tax,
Watch Tax, &c.
Audacity alone can end this war, before
Great Britain dare strike. Indeed, we
need something more, and that is, the cre-
alton ofa Revolution in England, By our aJoH-
tion Orators here, now. The "Beechers"
and "the Phillipses" and "the Strong
Minded Women" are all needed in Eng
land-on the stump, as now they are Of
no use here!

The Louisville Democrat, notwithstand-
ing its opposition to Southern Indepen-
dence, cannot approve the assault upon
the liberty of the press recently made at
st. Louis by Federal military officer, in
the suppression of tho State Journal. 1t
says
The suppression of newspaper in st.
Louis is one of the last acts OF dcspotism.
The Constitution not only grants no pow
er to any authority TO do such an act, but
absolutely forbids it. The first amend
ment to the Constitution says:
"Congrcss shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof, or aJridying
The freedom Of speech or Of the rress."
Congress did once make such law,
and men were fined and imprisoned under
it; but the law was universally condemn
ed. 1t will hardly be contended that the
military can exercise u power without
law, when Congress is forbidden to make
such n law

Atrocities of the Yankee Invaders

The Editor of tho Lewisburg (Va.)
Chronicle, (Mr. S. j. Warren,) writing
to his paper from Laurel Hill, in Bar
bour county, says:
"The invaders arc perpetraling upon
the loyal citizens about Phllippi enormi-
ties OF the most eXecrable character.-
Not content with soizing and appropria-
ting to their own use or DESTROYING any
and every every kind of private ptoperty
which may fall in their way, the monsters
have been hunting married females from
house to house, for the qualification of
their brutal lusts. Mr.. Warren says that
these chargas, against the enemy, are
proven to be true, by unimpeachable
witnesses"

A letter from Fort Pickcns, dated June

"a British steam frgate has arrived
here from Havana, and is now swinging
from pair of anchors in the berth occu-
pied by the Sabine The officer in COM

Dor OF the South, coaster, ocean trader or

The New York Eecmen's Journal sa

The New York FTecmen's journal says:
Our wish, above all things. is that Lin
coins Administration could and then
,could, adopt course which, rs loyal
American freemen, we can sustain. The
present course of the Executive is uncon-
stitutional, outrageous, and in open reJelI-
ion against the United States Government
as established and recognized. We can
not sustain it in this course and we will
not. We declare and protest, on the
contrary, with the Chief Justice Of the
United States, that it subvcrts oil laws as
recognized by freemen, and attempts to
place our persons and our property, liber-
ty, and life, to the will of one or another
army officer.

Cotton From Liverpool.

The Charleston Mercury Of the 9th says
I'VE heard Of two orders having gone out
this week to purchase cotton in Liverpool
for shipment TO New York, probably on
account OF manufacturers, q circumstance
before unknown in the present century.
One order embraced 500 bales, and ano-
thor 200; and the total orders reported as
being forwarded this week probably does
not reach less than 1000 bales"

A Patriotic Family.

The editor of the Raleigh IN. C.) Stand
ard, thus writes TO his paper:
On our way to Suffolk, Va, we had the
pleasure of travelling with Chief Justice
Lumpkin Of Georgia, who has seven sons
in the army in Virginia. The venerable
and honored man was going, in vacation
of his Court, with his wife, the mother OF
the boys, to see them. His son-in-law, T.
h. Cobb, is on his way to Virginia, in
command of Georgia regiment.

Patience.

The most extraordinary instance of pa
tience on record in modern times, is that
OF an Illinois judge, who listened silently
for two days while a couple of wordy at
torneys contended about the construction
oi an act Of the legislature, and then end
cd the controversy by quietly rcmarking:
Gentlemen, the law is repealed"

Lincoln Reproves Lincoln.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Lincoln
used the following language;
Suppose you go to war, you cannot
fight always, and when, after much loss
on both sides, and no gain on either, you
cease fighting, the identical questions as
to terms of intercourse are again upon
you"
Yet Mr.. Lincoln did "go to war;" and
the object of that war was the subjuga-
ton of the South.

patch, old Abe has devised a new way TO
raise the means to prosecute the war.
The Dispatch says:
A gentleman who has just arrived from
Gloucester county informs us that the
Lholtionists at Fortress Monroe have
stolen as many as five hundred negroes
from those localities which are forthwith
to be sent OIL to Cuba for sale. They do
not recognize the negroes as property,
they say, but the Southerners do, there

relations of the barbarians are so great
that families are moving away in horror

BSaN The treatment Of slaves as contra
band, 10y the abolition government, has
alarmed the French and English Govern
ments for the cotton supply, and will
hasten the recognition, by them, of tho
Confederate States. Opposition to slave
ry is a pretty abstraction, but lis inau-
ence upon the production of cotton is q
stern reality before which sentimentaiism
is fast losing ground. The folly of the
Lincoln government is the most efficient
promoter of Southern interests abroad.
