In letter from Syracuse, No. bearing date June a,
Yeierge to the arrest OF a. D. Franklin employs
OF he Pacific Railroad Company who had been conspicu
Gus the bridge burning affairs In your heading to
my the phrase "The Pacific Railroad officials
Aiding the rebels" Mr.. Franklin Is, as far know,
the orly connected With the line who bias willingly
Afforded any facilities TO the rebels Jee, City or
elsewhere Mr. Taylor, the President, and Mr.. kcKs
sock the Superintendent, staunch Union men as
are to found In Missouri and with the exception Of
Mr. Franklin know Of person their employ who
advocates the Of Gov Jackson and his great father
JEFF Davis mako this statement as 1. is unjust that 1t
should 60 abroad that the Pacific Railroad people favor
the rebels. The rebels have caused q destruction
or damsge OF the company's property to up
wards OF 500 0c0, and In several instances the
ipurg has been purely wanton. This fact alone would
cause corporation to look with friendly eye upon
the Of the rebels and would tend to pre-
possess Governor Jackson in their favor.
We hear yet OF no Sighting In the Southwest. It Ia
reported though not satisfactory authority that COL
Segel, with his own and portion OF Col, Sacmans
regiment, had occupied Springfield without opposition,
getting beyond the rebels who were between Warsaw
and that place. Should this be true all deyoutly
pray, there some hope OF catching Jackson any
rats Of capturing his command, hemmed In by
United states troops on every side. There is fear
that Jacsons forces will 20 towards the Kansas border
they hsve mortal horror Of Montgomery and evtnce
most QuiyoCal desire 10 keep OF his reach "a
bee line for Arkansas" Is their only hope.
There is much dissatisfaction among the Unioniss Of
st. Louis account OF tho liberation parole OF pri
tssen With arms In their hands, known
as violent rebos TDey argue that many Cniou
men in tho rural been matreated and driven
by the that leniency the rdy
jusunabls. Their grounds OF complaint very god,
to Us from the East hsve been on sove
occasions whom prisoners have released,
OF opinion that IN mine cafes out OF ten those liberated
VIII heed the Scriptural injunction "Go and sin no
more" In few instances jaage that longer deten.
toa and . more severe punishment than keeping the
traitors under guard for few hours would have BEEN
to FAY the least healthy precaution Those who wear
lock OF honesty OF purpose and appear TO have entered
into the schemes OF Governor jackson from Of
right give their parole with much reluctance and after
mature deiberaton whiio the hardened and apparently
scionaoe cap.ives take the oath with much
Fifty and little hesitation na they would accept ipy
talon TO drink The following is copy OF the parole
usuxiy given II Ia in oil cases sworn to and subscribed
before notary pubic, and s as binding a. any legal
we whose names are bereuu,o annexed fully and IN.
1eservedy pon 20 and swear, that viii bear al
deed during tn present political troubles and during
natural iives and If drafted into the militia OF the
United States by the proper authorities, we
will obey the call Immediately and with ali
our ability And We hereby give parole Of sacred
honor not to serve hc faction known as the Southern
cJhfederacy during the present rebellion.
