Arkansas Has Seeded from the Uniol

We end the following telegraphic dis.
patch in the Louisville Courier of the 7th

vote of So to L."

against it. A great many members were
affected to tears. President Walker made
a strong appeal to make the vote unani.
nous. Great applause followed.
Anrphy replied, sustaining his vote

a State to secede A general hiss fol
lowed and few groans
Thomson, Desbs, Fishhack. and other
UAion members, explained their votes
taking strong Southern ground
A flag with nine stars floats over the
Capitol, and salute of niDe gans. was
fred Immediately after the vote on the
ordinance was announced.
There is much rejoicing and great en-
thusiasm.
This makes nine States that have for.
maly seeded. Some two months age
the Convention met and voted down i'm
mediate Secession, but passed an ordi'
nance submitting the question to the vote
of the people in August next After the
Presidents Proclamation, the Convention
was called together again, and, without
waiting for the popular vote, has taken
the mad Secession plunge into ruin.

From Baltimore--Speech of Keverdy
johnson.
BALTIMORE, Tuesday, May 7.

uCouoy,
The Union demonstration at Frederic
today was grand affair. Hon. Reverdy
johnson, in behalf of the ladies, present
cd flag to the Home Guard, who had
l50 members present, besides large and
enthusiastic gathering of the people.
Mr.. johnson said, in the original
causes, which have produced the present
emergency. Maryland has had no share
Her people ever were. and now are,
Jealous, in support of the Constitution
and a Government which they were FORE
most in forming and adopting. No
threat of treason has ever been whispered
within her limits, while the blessings and
advantages of the Union have ever been
fully estimated and appreciated. The
loss of these advantages, it is felt would
be utter ruin.
In this ruin all the States would more
or less share, but our geographical posi-
ton would make it immediate and total
Separation is impossible; but for resist
anee to its just and legal authority the
Government had given no causes, and had
the friends of Constitutional rights re-
mained at their posts in Congress, the
power of the Government to transgress
its authority could have been effectually
ihwarted.
The leaders of the rebellion were act.
uated by an uuholy thirst for official
power The fact is evinced in the eleva-
Ition to place of all who have desecrated
official position and plotted treason. They
may as we'll strike at the heavens with
their arms as against the American
Union. Defeat was certain to rebellion.
The Free States, according to the last
census, have 3,77s, 900 males between the
ages of eighteen and forty FIVE. The
Slave States have 100000. The sece-
ded States exclusive of Virginia, had
only 53l ,000, and the difference in wealth
is proportionate to that of the men.
With such vast disparity the end of the
struggle is beyond doubt. 1t was the aim
of the South to conGne the war to the
Border States. Mr.. Cobb was even now
cong:atulating them on the removal of it
from their midst, bnt Maryland should
Illustrate this cowardly policy. Let those
who have provoked the war bear its entire
brunt. Maryland's proper position is tc
remain firm in her loyalty to the Govern
ment The rebellion leaders have done
all they could for Mr. Liacoln's election
as the means of precipitatiug revolution
in the South.
They relied for the success of theil
plans on the intervention of the Border
States and divisions in the North; bu
they were short-sighted men; the FIRST
|gun fred at noble and starving garrison
was blow at the nations heart, and &
united North had sprung to arms, in win.
dication of the flag, and for the maiute
nance of the Government. Heaven for
bid the duty of that vindication should bt
forgotten by Maryland.

ST. LOUIS, May 10-Gen Frost's
brigade Of Missouri Militia, encamped at
Camp Jackson, on the Western outskirts
of the city, surrendered Internationally
this afternoon on demand of Capt. Lyon,
Commander of United States forces in
this city.
Lyon marched on camp Jackson with
some six thousand volunteers, surrounded
1t aud planted eight field pieces on adjoin-
ing eminences.
Gen. Frost replied, in answer to Capt
Lyons demand for an unconditional sur
render that his encampment was organ
lied under law of the State, simply for
organizing and drilling volunteer militia.
This military district. not expecting any
demonstration, was unprepared success
fully to resist an attack. He therefore
accepted the terms specified and surren-
dered his command About eight hun
dred men then in camp--a large nurIber
being in the city on leaye-then laid down
their arms and we're escorted to the city
as prisoners of war.
LATER.
ST. LOUIS. May l1.-2 A M.
A release on parole was rendered the
officers and troops, providing they would
take an oath not to take up arms agaia
against the q S. Government, which they
declined, on the ground that it implied
that they had already taken up arms
against the Government, which they dis
claimed.
Just before the troops started for the
city, and while the State forces were
drawn up between two lines of volunteers,
several rocks were thrown at the volan
teers, and FIVE pistol shots fired by excited
parties in the surrounding crowd, which
was composed of large number of ci.i-
zens, including many women. Oue shot
took eff, CT in the leg of Captain Blanton,
of Kentucky, and as he fell be gave the
word to FIRE, which was obeyed By some
two or three companies, resulting in The
death of upwards of twenty persons. in
Guiding two women and several children,
and badly wounding several others. OE-
ly the following names of those killed can
be ascerteined tonight: Walter Mellow.
ell. Thos A. Heran, Nicholas Knoblach,
and Emily Summers. Probably fatally
wounded: Clayborue Wilson and Truman
Wright.
Intense excitement exists in the city
Large bodies Of men are thronging the
streets. The Democrat and Anzeiger of
T fees have been threatened by the mob.
Through the promptness of the chief Of
Police McDonough. any violent demon
stration hus far has been prevented. All
gun shops 10 the city are guarded by an
armed police. About two hundred have
been detailed to protect the Democrat and
Amzeiger Offices. Tne luteness of tie
hour precludes the possibility of getting
more reliable information tonight.
