THE ENEMY.
JEFF. Thompson, a small politician from sa' Joseph,
Mo-somewhat of Q monomaniao-a traitor by nature,
and an arrsnt knave and coward, as has been often
proved, is acting as BrgadierGenerd in the Rebel
Army, and s occupying the country to within fifteen
miles of here. He 10 engaged now IN plundering
everybody, and manning and numbering Union-loving
people wherever he can take them without danger 10
himself. He has about 5000 vsgabonds under him,
scattered at different points throughout the country
and mayinq whenever they eat out their surrounding
neighborhoods, to such place. they can find prov
ender for man and beast. Ills robberies have been DO
extensive that large number Of his men are mounted
and all armed, though with every conceivable kind OF
weapon. Gen. Pillow is about twenty-eight miles
westward Of u.s. but nothing is known here Of his in
tentiops,
JACKSON AND REYNOLDS.
PaynolSs ia tho Uotspur OF the Secession cabai IN
Missouri. He Is the bodest Of all the consprators
lie had sworn allegiance to the COttonOcracy when he
,ook tbe oath as Lieutenant Governor Of Missouri %
supnort the Consultation of the United Sates. His lips
uttered treason in the Capitol itself before they were
scarcely raised from the sacred book wheTeupon he had
sworn fidelity TO the Union. Reynolds is cultivated
man and fine speaker. He boasts with pOmpous de-
elamstion of being "souih Carolinian.' He m q
short. stubby fellow, fat and bigoted. Ee has the
,r.;,, .bo Grot n q
duel some few years ago. To show his pomposty,
will relate ar anecdote or two OF him. During the
session last Winter willie acting In bis capacity Of Pre-
sdent Of the seuae he decided certain resolution out
of order and desired until the following morning TO
give his reasons for 20 deciding. Then morning the
Presidents desk was laden down with huge piles Of
books placed there by order Of the lAeutenanGoVer
nor. When the Senate met, Rsynolds, for two hours
and half indulged in an elaborate argument upon the
Consttutionaity Of the resolution and quoted number
less authorities to prove the correctness oi LIS potoh
When he resumed his seat Jim RainA got the floor, aud
informed biz Excelency that he was not aware the
Pre,iden. had added to his official duties the extra duty
of oresang the opinion Of the Supreme Court and oi
monopoizing its jurisdiction. lie questioned the Con-
situtionalty Of this mpudent assumption Of power by
tie Chair and expressed desire that the President
would strictly attend to the legitimate duties Of his
Office AZ Lieutenant-Governor and President Of the
Senate. Tie Senate refused TO sustain Reynolds by
unanimous vote amid laughter aud stamping Of feet.
Again, in joint scsson, during the debate upon the
Sena,orsip the House took vote upon tho question
Of adjournment. Reynolds held tie tally of tie Clerk
in his LETT hand aud with the meet in hls right thus
announced the vote; "Sxy votes having been cat in
the affirmative and sxty in the negative, now, there
fore, l. Thomas c. Reynolds, Lieuenant-Govenor Of
the State Of VI ssJur in yitue Of my Office ar Presi-
dent of ths joint session, do declare tbs joint session
10 stand adjourned unti tomorrow morning, Ten O'Clock,
and it is 50 orlered.'
Claib jackson il ono Of the yeriest towards on the
earth He is tool IN tie hands Of fanatics aud fools

work Of Reynolds. TIE pair are now somewhere in

GIN. FREMONT.
Bot Gen. Fremont is doing collo.sl work. His ap-
pearance ia throwing new life and energy into hs
Department. The voice Of the nation 10 finding hI
response in him. Tie doom Of TIE SayePower IL SET
tied by another power, not Slavery. The "dHy-
Dg-out process establishes tie future glory Of Msour
for no. only are white folks leaving but nggsrs"
also. Several contraband" are in camp working at
the Notifications with right good viii and energy.
Two specimens Of " eonlraband' presented them
selves this morning and stated they were runsways-
that they did not want 10 work for the "sesesEers,
aud were willing to WORK for the Uqion-folk.'

IN St. Louis. Until his organization the Germans had
