iured Themselves 80 often cannot blind the eyes Of such
a man as Col. Blair Clab. Jackson while yet stand
ing the platform where he took bis oath OF once
Verured himself by ut,erng Il most reasonaole sen
timens, and avowDg bis sympathes and declaring i'
fidelity TO the Southern conspraors lie Is ono o' inc
hackest traitors in the land ana Col Blair NOT OH!
knows it, bat also knows the motive that prompted .he
visit to St. Louis. He told Gov. jackson Ill "eoucu
and emphatic manner that tie United States had ana
intended 70 hold supreme jurisdiction over missouri
that the Federal Government intended 10 MAINTAIN s
right to place Federal troops upon any portion Oh 'ne
soil Of Missouri wherever the public interests should
reoniretha il WAS the intention OF the Government
10 afford full protection TO loyal men in Missouri and
that II auy driving out to be done, the persons
driven out should be but traitors. He further
told Caib Jackson that the State militia must be aban
doned, for the law under which they were mustered
was VIGOROUSLY hostile to the Federal interests To
this Caib. demurred and the interview drew to a
close. Gen. Lyon and Col Blair had scarcely left tho

and he and General Price rushed back TO Jefferson In
hot haste accompanied by two three hot Secession

gave orders for the immediate burning Of the bridge
which crosses the Gasconsde, on the line Of the
Pacific Railroad about ninety miles from st. Louis
This work was the most valuable the entire line OF
the road and cost some 5000 900 to erect it. We learn
that i, is completely destroyed. The leader Of the
party who performed this dastardy act was the second
son of the Governor accompanied by several OF the
State troops Ere this emissaries are traveIslng the

and summonng the troops who were disbanded but
week or two ago TO return with tber muskes TO JEFF
ferson City, and obey the orders Of the Governor
The State July interest is now permanently confs-
Gated and every other dollar remaining the Treasury,
for the purpose of arming the Rebels. But Gen Lyon
is not idle This accomplished General is fully up to
the requirements of bis position. He is not only
brave officer, but he is also man of pre-eminent

Col B!air's Regiment Lieut. Col. Andrews command
ing proceeds by river to Jefferson to-day. Col.
Boernsteins Regiment will occupy Kansas City, and
the country to the south of that place. The Home
Guards of Franklin County, under Col James Owens,
will attend to the country between the Gasconade and
ST. Louis Elsewhere throughout the State, guns will
be placed in the hands Of reliable Union men. 1t Is
said and it is believed that G0000 stand Of arms are
being conveyed overland through Arkansas intended
for Claib. Jacksons State troops. The marching of
Col Seige's command looks like a movement intended
for the capture of these weapons.
