has not been Inscribed on all the banners
of Gen. Harris's brigade, it is because the
eternal fitness OF things has been violated
by that warrior. These men as little know
what forces they have to contend against,
as they do what they are fighting, for, more
properly, retreating) for. The conclusion
is Irresistible TINT the people who have
thus rallied with fowling pieces and field
cutlery "ior their rights" have not only
had no conception Of the power arruyed
against them, but have supposed that it
nesonly necessary for them to assemble ut
rural "tourcorners," !" to kick off the soY-
eminent Of the United States. We are in
formed that many Of them hare either MT
heard Of the battle OF Boonville at all, Or
believe that Jackson WAS victorious, and
Gen. Lyon, with all his troops, taken pris-
oner, On this hypothesis their strange
antics may be explained; in no other way
can they be comprebended, or measured
hy any Of the rules which are supposed to
direct human action. How deplorable
must be the ignorance which lies at the
bottom Of secession III Missouri! And ye1
it can he hardly greater than that which
prevails in the eleven misguided States
