ST.. JOSEPH, Oct. 20, 1851.
Having spent the last fortnight IN travelling
through that portion Of the State lying north of the
Missouri River, win give You briefly a. possible
the result of my observations There is at present
temporary lull in tie war storm that has ragged in
this part Of tho State. Thousands Of the Secession
ists who had been carrying on q guerrilla warfare,
burning railroad bridges, robbing towns and plan
ta,ions, and numbering or banshng loyal citizons,
have gone off In squads, companies or regiments TO
Join their great leader and doposed Governor in
the Southwest. This leaves the northern part
of the State in condition Of comparative quiet
and security. Already, however, q large num-
Der of those who joined Price at Lexington,
with the expectation OF making a triumPtsl
progress from that point TO Jefferson City
aud ST. Lonis have returned TO their homes. Some
of those have come back with a feeling of intonse
disgust for treason and rebellion, and make very
earnest protestatons of future loyalty. Others how
ever, have returned TO recruit new forces, and com
nence again their system OF neighborhood raids and
forays North Missouri has reason 90 be thankful
that she has been relieved from the presence Of
drunken commander and that there are now loyal
troops enough stationed upon her railroads and at
other important points, 70 defend her homes and ut

Of bandages two inches IN width, lint, cans
Of preserved fruit-air tight, jellies, DC,

for by the sanitary committee.
In order that your work may be made
effectual in relief Of our soldiers, you will
wish TO know how it can be made TO reach
them. For that purpose | will act as your
agent. Send to me, at my Office in Lam
csts ter, your contributions Of whatever kind
they may be, for which | will issue receipts,
keep record Of all articles received, prop
erly pack and forward them to the agents
OF the sanitary committee, and publish
monthly statements in the Grant County
Herald OF all articles received and the
names of societies or individuals donating.
For the expense Of transportation from here
to their place Of destination, | will endeayor
to find means, so that every article a per-
son may desire to contribute to our coun
trys relief in this its hour Of greatest need
may be surely forwarded. Thus, ladies,
the way and means are opened TO you by
which you are capable Of rendering oyour
country services no less efficient in the settle
nent OF this contest than that Of The soldier
on the field of battle. True you donot WELD
the clashing sword o. deadly musket, but
you do the needle, and that is an instru-
mept which you can make as potent as eli
the u; for without its aid our soldiers on the
field would be absolutely powerless. Our
sick ami wounded, also, crave your care
and attention. Through the aid you can
thus extend to them thousands OF brave
soldiers may be restored to health, to their
country. and to their loved ones at home,
who otherwise will fill soldiers lonely
grave. We know that your sympathies
are always with them, but they cannot re-
alize it except through sucll means as those
above specified. Come forward, then, one
and all, and have it proclaimed abroad that
while Old Grant has furnished more sol
diers than any other county in the state,
her population considered, she has also,
through her patriotic ladies, furnished the
great est amount of articles for their COM
fort and their necessities. In neighbor-
hoods where no societies are organized,
those who have or can make any of the ar
tieles above specified can send them for
ward to me and will gladly receive them
and add them 10 packages to be forward
ed. Ny time and trouble shall be freely
bestowed for the purpose Of thus aiding
our suffering soldiers, and hope by such
means to be able to accomplish much good
in the cause of humanity and my country.

Missouri.

The moyemcnts of Gen. Fremont and
the army under him are forbidden to be
telegfaphed Ii seems certain, however,
that our forces are being concentrated,
probably at Syracuse, and that the expedi-
lion will start from that point, over some
what the same route as Geu. Loon took
when he chased Jackson and Price SIR
acuse is on tie railroad, lorty-one miles be-
yond Jefferson City, and is the nearest and
most convenient point to Bonneville, on
the river. The direction which Gen. Price
took upon leaving Lexington was south
westerly. OF course the Great body Of his
force has scattered and gone home, Ian
old trick with the ''honest farmers" Of that
section. Inasnuch as Price has several
DAYS the ssart, and has retreaicd mainly
from fear of attack, it may. be considered
doubtful if our forces are gratiied with
battle. The St. Louis Repabtican has late
adyices from Lexington, that the immedi-
ale cause of Prices CONSERVATION was the
stories brought TO them by released pris-
oner from st. Louis. Previous to that
Price was organizing parties on grand
scale, for foraging in Northwestern Mis-
souri,. lie had cyen sent 1000 men across
the river. Upon this information, how
ever, Of the Republican is correctly he
called in his banditt, packed up, and left
at the earliest moment.
