MISSOURI A C.. s. A.-The rebel Congres

Missouri A C. S. A-The rebel Congress
at Richmond has admitted Missouri as a
State into the Southern Confederacy, and
made arrangements with the Claib Jack
son government for heavy operations Of
fensive and defensive The st. Louis Re
publican don't seem to realize the serious
ness of the change, but is inclined to be
merry over it, thus:
One of the maxims of Mrs. Glass for
making chicken pie WAS, first catch your
chicken 1t would have been well for
the Richmond Congress to have acted
upon this precept before making reguia-
tions for the government of our State
Possession is nine points in law. The man
who buys lumber to fence piece of ground
TO keep out trespassers, while he cannot
upon it himself, owing to its previous oc-
cupancy, is doing q rash and extrayagant
thing. We expect rashness and extrava-
cance from the Confederates, it is true,
but this is just wee bit too steep to be
accounted for on grounds short of stark
lunacy.
Yet the case is not so
bad as it might have been; for the reader
will see that had Jackson been so inclined,
he could have attached us to Austria or
Norway Just as easily as to the Southern
Confederacy. The Lord be thanked that
we are not yet dependency upon the
government Of some nation on the other
hemisphere!

\ Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
New York Commercial Ao}rertiser, writes
During a part of our recent troubles in
the matter Of neglect OF pay, Gen. Butler
promised one of the regiments that they
should have their pay within forty-eight
hours. He was following up this promise
with his characteristic visor, when he
made the happy discovery that the very
money needed was in one of the Offices
tied up with red tape General Butler
paid his respects to the gentlemanly young
man having the package, and demanded
it, for the purpose of putting an end to the
suffering OF the soldiers for want of it
The young Officer politely informed the
General that the package could not be
delivered to any one but the party named
on the lid.
"Oh ! very WE'LL said the General, 'you
are doing your duty properly; but that
officer is absent on necessary public bust
ness and cannot nnw be consulted. As
commander of the department will take
the responsibility. Orderly put that box
in that wagon, and so with me to pay the
soldiers!'
No sooner said than done
The money was Immediately on its way,
and before the promise forty eight hours
had expired the brave volunteers were
being paid off in Uncle Sans gold
So much for cutting red tape

KENTUCKY

The secessienists having thrown n large
foIcs into Kentucky at Columbus, General
Grant, deeming it useless longer to reepect
the neutrality of that State, and having
good reason to appreherd secession
movement to take Paducah, moved up, as
stated in our last, from Cairo, and took
ossession Of that city. No remonstrance
h.s been made against the movement on
the part OF Kentucky, but on the contrary,
tine dispatches yesterday brought the
cheering intelligence that both houses of
the legislature of that State have passed
n resolution by large vote, directing the
Governor to demand the withdrawal of
the rebel troops from the State. while, by
AS strong vote they refused 10 direct
him to make the same demand with
reference to the Union troops This is, in
effect, throwing oil her neutrality on the
part of Kentucky, and ranging herself on
the side of he Union.

SECRETARY CaMERoy.-It is not little
sin gular, that the Republican papers of the
4" forward to Richmon" stripe have for a
month or two been unceaslng in their
abuse of Secretary CAMERON, scarcely a
paper of the opposite stripe has had the
courage to defend him, although nothing
substantial, SO far as we can see, is proved
against him. The apparent injustice Of
this wholesale abuse of the Secretary, has
at length aroused quite a number of first
class democratic papers TO take up his de-
fence; that is, to ask for the proof of the
charges made against him; and as none
has been forthcoming, TO denouncs tho
authors OF the charges as libellers. To
us, uns ophsticated and in front of the
screen, it looks very much as if certain
gentlemen who wanted fat jobs of the
Secretary found him inlpracticable and
tried to whip him in by using the big and
little Irijuncs as cudgels. That Cameron
may have favored his friends is likely, for
he has propensity that way; but that he
soiled his hands with population, remains
at least to be proved. The President evil
denly is satisfied with Mr.. Cameron, or he
would not keep him in his Cabinet, and the
President is probably as well situated to
judge of the honesty, capability and eff
cheney of the gentleman referred to as any
editor who resides miles away from the
Cap;ta

TIE WAR IL MIssJrRI.

The leading events of the war III Mis-
souri, of the past week are the retreat OF
McCuiloch back to Arkansas, and the
filling back of Pillow N Jeff Thompson
apparently TO Kentucky and Tennessee.
So netting over two weeks ago, Rains
moved with his command upon an expe-
dition against Font Scott, in Kansas, where
Lane and Montgomery had posted them
selves. When within about thirty miles
of that place he sent back for reinforce
ment,. Thereupon, Gen. Price, went with
his whole command, including portion
of McBride's men, The united forces
W re, it is supposed, 5000 or 1000 men,

Price and Rains, and Lane and Montgom-

another the latter were victorious. We

heard of in Patti. ~~."ty, "PP"4 on'tt 'A-~'
ing toward Lexington, clearly not having
been at Fort Scott.
Gen. Fremont has issued an important
proclamation, declaring that on proof be-
ing furnished that any stakeholder is a
rebel and aiding the rebel cause, his slaves
q .e free The order is said to have struck
the Cabinet at Washington with utter
amazement But the matter was fully dis
oassed, when it was unanimously deter
mined that the proclamation was Just

time, exactly in the right manner, and by
the right man
There is still the utmost disorder pre-.

Our readers will remember that the
County Fair takes place in about two
weeks, and, from all we can learn, the
prospect is that we shall have very ex
cellent one, and that the attendance will
be, if anything, better than usual.
The farmers feel the need of ono that
they are justly entitled to, a little sensa-
ton, to say nothing OF exhibiting their
fine stock end farm products; and the
manufacturers have fully learned that
there is no better or cheaper way of adj
vertising their wares than to exhibit them
at the County Fair.
Among the now attractions this year,
will be some very fine south down sheep,
which will be exhibited by E. NJ WADE,
Esq; steam cauldron, in operation, by
H DREW; hydraulic ram, which will
throw water in the form of fountain,
and thus water the flowers, by Messrs.
WILSON & Snow, La Sale; new sorghum
evaporator, in operation, by c. B. KING,
&c, &c.
In the way of special attractions may
be mentioned Col. DlcKEy's cavalry regi
ment, which " Ill parade on the grounds
an exhibition particularly interesting at
this time-and one, to see which, will be
worth many times the admission fee
Preparations are also being made SO as to
give the people an opportunity of seeing
the fire engines throw water, as well as OF
witnessing the promptness with which
our gallant firemen are in the habit Of
| getting to a fire.
The grounds are in fine order, seats are
! erected near the track for the accommo
dation of visitors, and everything fully ar
...mavI 50 rs TO make the Fair interesting
profitable, and the best ever held in the
county.
The time, remember has been changed,
and the Fair will be held on the first ,oeek
in October, at which time we hope and ex.
pect to see the biggest crowd ever congre-
gated at County Fair.

The Horse Fair,

We observe that our Peru and other
neiGhboring contemporaries are disposed to
depreciate the success of the late Horse
Fair at Ottawa by pronouncing it nearly
failure, dc. This is certainly not the idea
the people hcreabouts have Of it, nor what
the facts justify. An affair that brought
10000 people to our city during less than
week was at least successful so far as
drawing visitors was concerned, nor can it
BE- called even partial failure in point of
horses exhibited, for we certainly never,
even at a State Or National Fair, saw
finer exhibition of horse flesh in Illinois
or any where.
Considering the times, we think Col
SMITH, the Superintendent, who really got
up the whole affair, had abundant reason
to congratulate himself upon its success /;
nor do we think the exhibitors or specta-
tors found the least occasion, throughout
the whole exhibition, to be dissatisfied
with him. lie managed it ably, skilfully,
splendidly, and if preftqbIy, we have no dis
position to grudge him his pay.

The state Fair.

The State Fair opened at Chicago en-
Monday under very discouragiug circum-
stances. 1t rained all day, rendering the
low grounds selected at Brighton almost
untenable on account of mud. On Tues
day it raIned again, and again spectators
except with high top boots, could scarely
move about the grounds with safety
Nevertheless the entries of horses, cattle,
sheep, swine, in short all articles that
IL ually con Q from q distance were more
numer than at any previous fair-the
deficiency being in articles peculiar to tie
city Of Chicago, which We're withheld on
account of the weather. Wednesday
morning opened clear and beautiful and
the Chicago mechanics and artists began
to make their appearance Still these
parts of the show continued inferior, and
the number of visitors was small in COM
