St. Joseph. The Union troops not long since
had possession of st. Joseph, but withdrew to
look after some other secession locality They
had no sooner retired than the rebels took
complete possession Of the place; they con-
trolled its municipal affairs, prevented ingress
and egress, for mails or travellers, and levied
heavy contributions on the stores by taking
whatever they pleased. The steamer omsha'
they seized and converted to their purposes |;
and, ascertaining that an effort was being made
to send the mail out by hand cars, they inter-
cepted It and brought 1t back, aud etfsctually
blockaded the place. The Union men, no
only in St. Joseph, but in all tie surrounding
counties, were completely at the mercy Of the
rebels, and they earnestly demanded the imme

them from annibils'ion.

The Missouri Republican, learning that tih
expedition was about to depart, published tn
route it was to take, and advised the rebel
along the road how to act in order to destro

expedition. Gen. Sturgis, aware of bis danger
proceeded very slowly, examined carefully eac
bridge and culvert before crossing 1t, and ha
so disposed the artillery upon a number {
open cars that their single eye looked griml

WHAT IT Cosr III coct juc! twenty thou
sand dollars to discover America, sad for
this small sum the Queen of Spain had to
pledge her jewels. This was but three
hundred and sixry-nins years ago. Then
the English language had not been spoken
a century. Printing had been but twenty
one years in use. Manufactures were also
unknown but four merchant ships belong
ed to London, and the people were opposed
to trade. Columbus never saw the United
States in their present limits, but he was
at Cuba, five degrees from Floride. But
eighty-five years ago, on the 7th of June,
the American Colonies with about the
| same number of inhabitants that England
had when America was discoyeredl declar-
ed themselves Independent. Within that
eighty-fre years we have founded a fed
erative nationality recognized as the United
States of America, and respected as one of
the foremost nations of the earth. Under
the Constitution we have not only prosper
ed beyond precedent in the history of the
world, but our influence has exerted a
mighty power over all the civilized states
Of the earth. There is not II nation with
which we have not a commercial and po-
litical relation. There is not country in
which our enterprise has not entered, nor
an ocean on which our ships do not foa;i
American genius is more or less impressed
upon every people and cline, and mutual
interest and sympathy bind US to mankind.
Our example, our ideas, our discoveries,
our inventions, our habits of life, our So
cial political and religious institutions,
have been impressed upon the old world,
and no higher title than a citizen of this
Federal Union is essential to command re-
| spect and consideration over the globe
Now, in the midst Of this unexampled pros
perity the Union suddenly collapses! Her
| life, her truth, her hopes, and her humanity,
are about to be sacrificed! For what and
for whom? Why, for an Utopian abStrac-
tion, and by brethren of the same nation
and blood. 1t cannot be denied that there
is thirst for blood among the politicians,
