Capt Prince took possession of tho town,
captured the principal secessionists, inclu.
ding General NORM. They all took the
oath of allegiance except NORM, who re-
mains q prisoner.
ST Louis, juno 22.--Capt Totten's com
mand returened TO Syracuse yesterday after
MOOT, having given up the pursuit ofJacksOn.
At Florence, ten miles below, half car
load Of powder was seized, and at Upton
about the same amount Of lead.
. At Syracuse yesterday, Franklyu, the
engineer engaged in burning the bridges,
was arrested and taken to Upton.
S. IL. McCulloch, cousin of Ben McCul-
loch is also prisoner.
The Republican learns that Gen. Price
was atL exiDgton on Wednesday sick.
Leavenworth, June ga detachment
of regulars from Kansas City captured 35
secessionists and small quantity of arms
and munitions at Liberty, Mo-, on the 10th
inst.
The three remaining Companies of the
first Kansas Regiment, with one Company
of regulars, marched to Kansas City yester-
day. The force at that point now numbers
about $500 volunteers and regulars. They
are provided with means Of transportation
and camp equipments for march.
st. Louis, Juno 24.-The democrat
learns from citizens Of Lexington, arrived
here, that the news Of the defeat of the
State forces at Boonville had good effect
upon the secessioniss of Lafayette and ad-
joining counties. They also state that the
moderate secessiunsts of Lexington are now
anxious to testify their allegiance to the
Federal Government and secure peace and
order in the State. The Mayor of Lexing-
ton, a violent secessionist, has left the city,
and his successor, who is good Union man,
proclaims his determination to preserve law
and order and protect the rights of all class
es of citizens, in which he is sustained by
almost an unanimous voice of the people.
1t is not thought that Gen. Lyon will
proceed further up the river, but proceed to
the Southwest, where in conjunction with
Col. SigelPs command at Springfield, he
will invite battle with Ben McCulloch,
cor any other man" in command of tho Ar
kansas troops.
The Democrats special from Boonville,
says Gen. Lyon addressed the citizens of
that place yesterday, aud expressed a de-
sire to be furnished with horses and wag-
ons. This morning the request was respon-
dcd to, and he procured all he wanted.--
This would seem to indicate an overland
movement towards the Arkansas border.

Missouri RIaIlers.

The latest intelligence from tho doughty
Gov. Jackson, left him making tracks for
Arkansas disguised in petticoatsl The
brave Gen. Lyon and his loyal forces were
about to move into Southwestern Missouri
on the tracks of the rebels. So far, the
Union campaign in that State has been
! brilliantly rapid and successful, and a new
era in the rights of the people has been in
augurated.
The treason of Gov. jackson, Gen. Price,
and other leading secessionists, has been
fully established by the original documents
found in the camp at Boonvile after the
rout of the rebels. The letters implcate
Mr.. Barnes, Mr.. Kidd, and other promi-
nent citizens Of st. Louis, and form rich
chapter in the history of the abortive at
tempt to precipitate Missouri into disunion.
The st. Louis Democrat has published the
racy documents which show that the plans
of the rebels were deep laid and daring.
Fooled as the secessionists have been by
Gen. Lyon and his associates, like Mr..
Brown they do not "giye it up So" Since
the route of jackson, his generals and his
troops, another dodge has been attempted.
The leading secessionists have been in con-
clave in st. Louis, and have generously ro-
solved, that if the President will withdraw
the Federal troops from Missouri, and dis
band his forces now in the field, they will
agree to restore the Jackson government to
the State! So reports the ST. Louis Dem
ocrat and it further states meeting has
been held, composed of Union men and Sc
cessionists, at which compromise PROPOSE
tions were discussed. The Democrat is
justly indignant, and declares with empha-
sis that the secessionists shall have no lot or
part in the new government Of Missouri
that "they are not to be consulted--nor
will their intervention be tolerated" 1t
adds:
II il be true that committee has been
appointed to wait on Gen. Lyon or Gen.
Mcclellan with any such disgraceful prop
ositioDs, we certainly believe and expect
that the committee will be arrested for Civ
ing aid and comfort TO tho enemies of the
United States.

Bank Riot at milwaukee.

A riot occurred at Milwaukee on last
Monday morning. About 10 o'clock A. M.
the rioters marched from the Sixth and
Ninth Wards through East Water street to
MitchelI's Bank, attacking it with stones
and bricks, soon riddling the windows COM
pletely. Tho clerks barricaded tho doors
in order to gain timo to secure the valua-
bles, which they did in great measure
The mob then broke down the doors and
soon stripped the room of everything, throw
ing furniture and books into the street,
The State Bank on the opposite corner, and
j. B. Martins Office, were attacted and
served in like manner. The bank of Mil
waukee was also stoned, but little damage
done. Allen and McGregon's real estate
office was completely gutted, and books val
ued at $4,000 completely Destroyed
Juneaus Bank was also an object to their
wrath, but they were contented with break
ing the windows.
The Mayor and Police were promptly on
the ground, but were utterly powerless.-
One Company of 40 men, Montgomery
Guards,) were ordered out, but declined TO
do anything for fear they would bo over
powered. The Zouaves were then ordered
out and charged on the mob, which immedi-
ately broke and run. The streets were
soon cleared and guards stationed at tho
corners and squads at each bank.
About so rioters were arrested and con-
fined in Jail under strong guards Of the
Zouaves and Home Guard.
As far as ascertained the following per.
sons were injured: Alex. Mitchell, slightly;
G. H. Larkin, Jr, paying teller of Mitohell's
Bank, badly bruised; Judge Starkweather,
trampled on, badly hurt; Mayor Brown,
knocked down with stone and slightly
hurt; Mr.. Hayden, book keeper of the State
Bank, considerably hurt. Ono rioter was
badly cut on the shoulder. Another had
his hand cut off and one wounded in the
leg by thrust of bayonet.
The riot was caused by the action of the
Bankers on Saturday in throwing out the
circulating notes of large number of the
banks of Wisconsin,

Activity at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
The Philadelphia Enquirer of this morn
ing, 2lst, says:-
"Matters are moving briskly at our Navy
Yard. The keel was laid last week for a
new steam sloop of war of 900 tons, to be
called the Tuscarora. Her keel is 2l0 feet
long. She will mount two 11-inch guns
and four 32-pounders. The keel of simi-
lar vessel will be laid next week. Both are
ordered to be in readiness within ninety
days. The steamer keystone State, for
merly of the Philadelphia and Charleston
line, is being caulked, coppered, strengthen
ed, and altered to gunboat. In doing this
all her top hamper of deck cabins, store
houses, &c, are TO be taken of, so rs to
leave the deck entirely clear. Her arma-
ment will be six 9-inch she'll guns, two long
32's, and one rifed cannon.
"The steam tug Live Yankee, $50 feet
long, is being subjected to the same pro-
cess, and turned into gunboat She will
mount two short 92s, and probably be u.s.
ed in the despatch service. The revenue
cutter Dobbin is also being strengthened
and prepared for heavier armament-ono
short 80 gun and forty men.
"Lying off in the river are the frigate st.
Lawrence, going shortly into commission,
and the receiving steamship Princcton;-
also, the prize-ship Gen. Parkhill, taken on
her way from Liverpool to Charleston.
"The supply of Florida live oak has now
temporarily ceased, but there is sufficient in
the yard for two frigates, in addition to the
two steam sloops now ordered, valued in all
at about 100000"
Eleven hundred men are employed in
the yard.

From tho New York World.
From North Carolina,

. Col. G.. II. Foster is announced as an uu-
conditional Union candidate for Congress
in the First Congressional District of North
Carolina. Having made his appointments,
he will take the stump and prosecute a can
vass. He has arrived recently from North
Carolina, where he defended the course of
the Federal Administration in strong Union
speeches, made at large public meetings,
got up by Disunionists for the purpose of
denouncing Mr.. Foster, and, if possible,
driving him out of the State. At all those
meetings Mr.. Foster appeared in person
and met the traitors face 10 face, and told
them 10 their teeth what they might expect
if they continued IN this unholy rebellion
against tho Union. Mr.. Foster is man
of iron will and undaunted courage, of bril-
liant talent, with very effective and finish
ed style of oratory. He was among the
abest supporters of Breckinridge in the
last campaign, and was also the first to take
the stump for the Union at the opening of
this great rebellion. He says that if few
Federal regiments were stationed in North
Carolina, one in each Congressional district,
to protect the Union men, there would be a
full delegation of unconditional Union men,
bers elected to Congress from the State on
the first Tuesday of August next. He says
that brigade of loyal North Carolinians
might be easily raised to cooperate with
the Federal forces in putting down the trea-
sonable usurpation of Gov. Ellis and others
in his State.

The lmpendInr Compromlse.

The great peril Of tho Republic, now i'm
minent, is not so much feeble, aimless,
ineffective prosecution of the war for the
Union, as premature and shameful peace,
which shall render all the perils and sacri-
fees already incurred Of no avail. We arc
assured that already secret agents Of the
traitors are in Washington and this city,
trying TO ensure democrats into somo back
stairs arrangements for putting an end TO
the struggle by some muddle that can be
called compromise. They profess TO do
sire formal separation and recognition of
the independence Of the rebel Confederacy;
but, as they know this will not be enter
tanned, they hint that perhaps a reconstruc-
ton which involved full guaranty Of "tho
rights of the South" might not prove mad
missible. In some quarters, it is vaguely
given out that tho Crittenden proposition,
guaranteeing the existence of Slavery in all
present and future territory south Of 36o 80,
would not be rejected without careful con-
sderation. And from another quarter we
hear that President Davis would be very
happy to accommodate President Lincoln
with an armistce of sixty or ninety days, to
afford time for negotiations
These various feelers all imply the samo
great truth Tho Finances of the "Con-
federate States" are in condition of hope
less collapse The new and desperate ex-
pedent Of making their Treasury Notes
legal tender, and exchanging them for the
notes of all banks, is simply contriyance
for absorbing tho specie of the New Orleans
banks and whatever movable capital may
remain in tho South, into the gulf of uni
versal bankruptcy. The "Confederatc" ar
mics are cowed if not disorganized. They
dare not step on the soil of the loyal States.
They dare not attack Cairo, nor Pickens,
nor our lines in front of Alexandra and
Arlington. They dare not meet tho Union
lists in fair and open battle. These rebel
soldiers get no pay, and their ranks require
constant reinforcement by drafts and con-
scriptions. Washington having become
sour grapes to their leaders, who arc at
their wits end for provisions, arms, and
munitions, they would like to improve their
solemn circumstances in any possible man
ner-fghting being the recourse they havo
least stomach for. Yet they may bo driven
even to that.-NeW York Tribune.

The New Army AppoIntmenls.

The Tribune's Washington correspon.
dent, under the date of June goth, gives
the following in reference to tho recent
army appointments;
Den. Scott expresses himself as well pleas.
ed with the new Army appointments. He
said yesterday that much care to select eff.
cient officers has been manifested. 1t is
not generally known that when the Presi-
dents proclamation for the new army was
issued that commission, consisting of Gen.
Mcdowell, Col. Franklin and Col. Meigs,
was appointed to suggest plan for the or
ganization of the new regiments. This
commission reported that half of the Off
GERS should be taken from the regular army,
and half from army civilians. This plan
was approved by the President, Gen. Scott,
and the Secretary of War, who carried it
into execution, Mr.. Cameron, also took an
additional number from the old army.
The remaining Second Lieutenants, a
few Of whom only have as yet been ap-
pointed, will be chosen from among the
meritoriously non-commissioned officers and
privates at present in the service. This
course will be eminently satisfactory, as it
will servo to make the new regiments equal
in every respect, if not superior, to the old.

From East Tennessee.

Gentlemen in Washington who are in
communication with the Unionists of East
Tennessee, are of the opinion that the con
vention called, to meet at Knoxville, will
pursue a course similar to that adopted by
the Wheeling convention by Virginia.
They will repudiato the usurpers at Nash
vile, elect Governor and organize State
government as near as possible in conform
ity with the provisions of the State Consti
tuition, and call upon the loyal men of Teu
nessee to rally to their support. The
Union men there are at the fighting point
all they want from the government is arms
When they have these they will take care
of themselves, and close the Cumberland
Gap Railroad against the rebels. 1t has
been the main ayenue for reinforcements
and supplies to the rebels in Virginia.
This movement will supply another regi-
ment to the circle of Union men that is
being gradually frightened around the rebels
in Virginia.

Impor,an, from virginia.

Tho Rubicon is really passed by the gal
liant Union men Of Western Virginia. The
ordinance for te-orgshizing tho State gov
ernment Of Virginia passed the Convention
at Wheeling by vote of 7s to 8. Omit
ting the preamble, it is as follows:
We therefore, the delegates here assembled in Con-
gross such and take such action the
safety and welfare Of the loyal citizens Of Virginia may
demand having mutually considered the premises, and
viewing with great concern the depoTabe condition "a
which this oneo happy Commonwealth must be reduced
unless some regular adequate remedy is speedily adopted
Tnd appealing to the supreme Ruler of the Universe fo
tho recbude OF our Intentions do hereby In tho nam'
and on the behalf OF the goodpeope OF virginia solemn
ly declare, that the preservation Of their dearest right
and liberties and their secures Ia person ana property
imperatvey demand the reorganization Of the Govern
ment Of the Commonwealth, aud that all acts of sait
Convention and Executive tending to separate this Com
monwealth from the United States, to levy and carry
against them, without authority and void
and the Offices of all who adhere to the said Convention
and executivo whether Legislative, Executive or Judi
cisl are vacated
In accordance with this ordinance, the
following officers have been chosen by the
Convention: Governor Frank H. Pierpont
Lieut.. Governor, Daniel Palsey; State
Council, Messrs. Lamb, Paxton, Van Win
kle, Harrison aud Lasar. Tho election o.
Attorney General is postponed till Satur
day.
The Governor was formally inaugurated
yesterday P. NJ, taking in addition to the
usual oath one Of stringent opposition to
the usurpers at Richmond. He then de-
livered an address to the members of the
Convention, urging a vigorous prosecution
of the work of rcdeeming the State from
the hands Of the rebels. A message is ex-
pected from him without delay, urging tho
policy Of complete military organization
Thore is reason to believe that this move
ment has the approval of the general gov
arnment, and will be sustained by it. Ac-
cordiugly, Governor Pierpont will bo rec
ognized as the lawful Executive of the State
of Virginia, and his acquisitions and other
official acts respected as such. 1t is highly
probable that two United States Senators
will be chosen to represent Virginia in the
coming extra session of Congress, to COOP
crate with the members Of the House al
ready elected.

Mr. Corwin reached the City of Mexico on

His health was better than when he started
Affairs there were still very unsettled, the rev.
olutonists in the interior pursuing their schemes
to overthrow the present government. The
difficulties in the United States seems to stlmu-
late the revolutionary leaders, and caused them
TO perpetrate new outrages. Our Minister has
made little progress in his treaty negotiations.
He expected soon to bring matters to a satisfac-
tory understanding.
