Later from Missouri.

We have on hand St. Louis papers of the 30th
ult and the I'd nst which gives US four days later
than our last advices from Missouri.
1t lis difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain from
the numberless rumors those papers contain, the
exact whereabouts of Gen. Price and his army. A
dispatch from Jefferson City, dated the 29th asserts
that he was positively known to be at Osceela.
Information from Rolla the lst inst reports him
as near Montevallo in Vernon county, moving
northward in three columns, he himself com
manding the center at that place, Gen. Nc
Bride the right wing, resting at Stockton, Cedar
county, and Gen. Rains the left, near Nevada
Gen. Price had issued a proclamation to the
Missourians, the nature of which is not mentioned
except as "exciting the greatest indignation
among Union citizens and refugees" We desire
no better evidence of its merit than this single cir
cumstance. The statement is made that he had
issued an order to Gen. McCuoch to follow him,
which the latter had disregarded, and was moving
towards Arkansas to go into winter quarters. We
may mention just here that this is strongly con.
firmed by the information which we privately re-
ceiVed by telegraph from Little Rock on yesterday
mentioning Gen. McCuoch as having just arrived
there, en- route for Richmond
Advlces from Sedaia, of the 1st inst. say that
the country between Lexington and Independence
is almost deserted. The people have gone by
thousands to join the army of Gen. Price.

ceived at Columbus (Ky.) on yesterday, made no
mention of the "rebel'' army movements what.

Dissensions In PaducaIa.
Correspondence of the 81. Louis Democrat1

Correspondence of the st. Louis Demoeratl ats
CArRo, Nov. 2s.-On Tuesday last secessionist
in Paducah, by the name of Voolfolk, hung se-
cession flag out of his window as some of our
troops were passing by, and hurrahed for JEFF. Da
WIS., The man had done the same thing before, on
several occasions, and the matter was reported to
Gen. Smith, but he refused to interfere. This re-
fusal of Gen. Smith caused great Indignation among
expressed In Paducah. q, l@7r e Ss,ta n E5s1
The matter having been reported to Gen. wal
lace, he sent his Aid de- Camp with squad Of men
to order the traitorous flag to be taken in, and if
Voolfolk refused, then to take it in and erect the
stars and stripes over his house. Voolfolk, know.
ing that Gen. Smith was senior officer, refused to-
obey Gen. Wallaces orders, whereupon Gen. Wal.
lace's Aid foreibly TOOK down the rebel flag and
hoisted the stars and stripes in Its stead. ' 5sS
In the meantime Voolfolk, having appealed to
Gen. Smith, the latter sent his Aid Lieut. Price, to
order Gen. Wallace to have the stars and stripes
taken down from Woolfolk's house. Wallace re-
fused to obey the order, and sent word to- Smith
that the flag should not be taken down while there
was live nan in the brigade. Wallaee's Aid said
that Voolfolk should sleep under loyal flag one
night any how. Smiths Aid replied he did not
lace's Aid knocked down Smiths Aid. Gen. Paine
sent Wallace assurance Of his cooperation.
The Democrat comments on the matter as fol
lows s- t-
The TROUBLE AT PADucAH.-The unfortunate
trouble ut Paducah between Gen. Smith and his
command, though for the present settled by the
mild circumstances of the commanding officer, is
likely to breed difficulties in that division of the
army, which will completely impair It's efficiency
and usefulness, unless a new commanding general
is assigned to it. sgs ss% sg@a .i s-S5. 5.s5 a-
Gen. Smith, right or wrong, has lost the conf
dence and respect of the troops under his direc-
ton. No number of conciliatory orders can ever
recover for him the important ground he has lost
and 1t is simply waste paper and time to argue
that, without dne confidence and respect from his
soldiers, no commander can do himself credit, or
the country any service. -ss- 's@' - r
In a,strictly military view, the action of Gen.
Wallace and other officers was highly reprehen-
sble; but the circumstances of the case are
strongly palliative if not exonerating. The fiaunt-
ing Of rebel flag in the faces Of our soldiers
would, in the opinion of a majority of loyal men,
seem sufficiently aggravating to justify almost any
excess that. in the temper Of the moment, might
be resortsd to. Gen Smith, it appears not only
in referring to the matter delivered himself Of q
grossly insulting and traitorous speech. Hence
the deep Indignation of the troops, and the per-
emptory and very proper punishment which the
latter received on the spot. = Ts Fl @

Important Legislativ. RESOLUTIONS.

Mr.. Coleman, of Madison parish, presented the
following resolutions, relative to system of relief
to cotton planters, through the agency of the
banks of New Orleans: ,-... -.,- 81.
Whereas, various causes have operated to pro-
duce total withdrawal from circulation of gold
and silver coin, and partial withdrawal of bank
notes, whereby, in consequence of the xtraordin-
ary deficiency in currency the country is laboring
under great inconveniences and serious distress
and,
Whereas, it is incumbent upon the Legislature
to devise and adopt measures to supply the def
cheney, if practicable, and to enable the people to
pay their taxes in support Of the Governments of
the State and Confederate States, and to purchase
supplies necessary for plantation purposes; there
fore, NJ.
lst. Resoloed, That the Committees on Finance
and on Banks and Banking be instructed to visit
the city of New Orleans, with view to hold meet
ings In conference with the officers OF the city
banks; r.
3D. Resozyed That the Presidents of all the
banks of the city of New Orleans be invited and
requested to cooperate with the aforesaid commit
tees in devising project of relief to the cotton
planters of the State of Louisiana, as the basis of
some action by the Legislature .-....1
3d. Resolred That the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Finance be instructed to furnish to the
Bank Presidents copy of these resolutions, and
notify them of the times and places of the sittings
and as soon as practicable report by bill or other
wise the results of their conferences and delbera
tions. -.,.-. D.. .--
Mr.. Mason offered the following as additional re-
solutions, which were accepted: ...... ....
4th. Resol0ed, That the said committee is hereby
instructed to learn from the Banks upon what
terms and at what rate of interest they will loan
to the State OF Louisiana a sum in specie or other
par funds sufficient to pay and discharge the tax
assessed upon the people of Louisiana by the Con-
federate Government ~ ~.
9th. Resozoed, That they also learn upon what
terms the Banks will loan the further sum Of
dollars in their own notes or Confederate notes. to
meet the deficiency which shall have occurred in
the collector of taxes for the present year, and to
provide for the wants of the State Government
until the next meeting of the Legislature in 1863
Said sums to be repaid within a period of three
years after the close of the war. @+
The foregoing resolutions were adopted in the
House Of Representatives, after considerable dis
cussion, on Monday last, I'd inst, and the com.
mittees are now in the city in the performance of
the duties assigned them,

LoNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 9, 1861.

above, which was twenty-five feet long, with eight
oars and eight men, had landed on an island west
Of Belle Isle few days previous to this, and there
various specuIations in regard to what vessel
they belonged to. They landed on stealing ex-
pediton. 1t appears, also, that they had been
ashore at Belle Isle the day previous TO the capture
of the Purdy.
In another column of the same paper we find the
following on the same subject:
The schooner Purdy, lately captured by the Lin
eolnites, and recaptured by Capt. Collins, of the
Purdy, and Capt. Parker, of the Florida, is the
property Of Mr.. John Gordy, of Cypremort. she
has been kept on the coast for months watching
the Lncolnites, and the entire expense Of keeping
her in this employment has been paid by Messrs.
N. Berwick, Hudson, Rice, and Judge Robinson,
planters of Bayou Sale. These, and other planters
Of Bayou Sale, purchased the Fly Catcher, and have
had her fitted up for gunboat to take the place
Of the Purdy. Neither the parish, the State nor
the Confederate Government have given them any
assistance: If other portions of the parish would
do as much, st. Mary could laugh at any feet that
might menace our coast

T H e w A R TAX
MORNING, q / DEcEMBER 8. 8 1861.

The Legislature meetsnext Thursday, and, proba-
bly, will only remain in session q few days-most
Of the members, we understand, being desirous of
returning to their various homes to srend the
Christmas and New Year holidays. This is but 3
natural desire, and may be indulged in with perfect
propriety, if the members, when they come back,
will go earnestly and industriousy to work. All
the necessary legislation of the session, from the
beginning, could have been done easily in four
weeks, and considerable amount Of money saved
to the Taxpayers. .. A..
But, before the holiday adjournment takes place,
there is one measure which should be presented,
perfected and passed, in one shape or another. We
aude to the collection of the Confederate war tax,
the assumption of which by the State was warmly
recommended by the Governor in his late message.
The collection of this tax by the State, under the
terms proposed by the Confederate Congress,
would save unto the taxpayers sls0000 at least,
and the collections will progress with more ease,
pronptness and regularity. Economy, certainty
and expedition all demand that the State should
assume the payment of this tax and, as there is
no earthly doubt it will be done before final
adjournment, it should be done before the holiday
adjournment, in order to save the Confederate
Go overnment very considerable expense which it
is mourning daily, and which will be of no avail
when the Legislature takes action in the premises.
The Chief Collector of the Confederate Government
is discharging his duties with eminent industry
has had blanks printed, is advertising and we sup
pose has his assessors out in oil directions. All
this expense is needless, If the State assumes the
payment of the tax imposed; and as the State is
going to do it, the it is done the better for
all parties concerned, Hence. the act of assump-
ton should by all means pass both Houses of the
Legislature before the anticipated temporary ad-
journment takes place. Considerable labor and
expense will thereby be avoided and in these hard
times the most rigid economy should be practiced.
