81. LOUIS, Sept. Q, 1861.
Light begins TO break ia through the war
cloud that oyerhanes this State. and it ia bow
confidently believed that the first frost Of Octo-
Der will fall on the ncw-made grave Of Secession
in Missouri. Our military commanders here
have finally played out the silly game of " SOFT
words aud tuits Of grass" and have taken TO
throwing " stones in good, hard earnest. Gen.
Fremont took the bull by the horns ia bis procla-
maticn, aud as be is following it up with yigor-
Ous and determined action, the result is likely 10
be most sslutary.
Our leaders have been slow to learn the lesson
that the only way TO fight the devil is with fire.
If the Rebels visit upon I'll who are within their
power prescription, intolerance, bauishment, and
death, with such cruelties and horrors as would
make demon blEsh, the best plan is 10 treat
them to q few doses of their own medicine.
Their last act of cOId-booded murder, in pluug-
log hundred innocent people, men, women, and
children, into the jaws OF death, by partially
burning the bridge on the Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad. has filed their cup of inquity
to ogerfowing, and you may look to see tpen
visited with punishment proportioned to their
crimes. This act of dabolical wickedness has
sent thrill OF horror throughout the State, and
all except those who have gone stark made aud
seem to be utterly destitute of conscience, rea-
sOa aud common sense, cry out for the speedy
destruction or expulsion Of these fends in human
shape. A much larger force Of cavalry has been
sent out in different directions to scour the
State md hunt those lsWless nuylsTer down.

says, that Douglas did not dance with
Mrs. Lincoln for nothing. He got into his
confidence, found oqtsshe meaning Of bis

the President would do nothing that, in
his (DouglasD Judgment would lead to
bloodshed;i that tho President stood
pledged by his address to Q take whatever
steps would peacefully settle the national
difficulties. Mr.. Douglas says the address
is much milder than he had anticipated,

Of the feeling produced in different per-
tions Of the South by the Inaugural! Of
Mr.. Lineoln. What we present will give
a correct impression Of its reception:
MoNTa. MExY, ALA.-Mr. Lincoln's
Inaugural Address is regarded here as q
virtual declaration of war against the se-
ceded States
PETERSBURG. VA-There was intense
excitement on the reception of the Inau'
Igural. Hundreds hitherto for the Onion,
avowed openly for revolution, if the Con.
veution does not Immediately pass the
Secession Ordinance. ~ ~
WILMINaroN. N. C.-So far az known,
most Of the contents are satisfactorily re,
ceived, especially that portion relating to
the forts and the collection of the rsvs.
nue, because it is in favor of coercion.
GoLDsBoRo. N. C.-The Inaugural wal
received at this place, and throughout this
section, with indignation.
RALEIGH, n C.--The inaugural was
received favorably by the Unionists.
They think it docs we'll for Lincoln,
through they don't approve of all of it.
The Disunionists are satisfied with it.
| CHARLESTON, s. C-Our community
has not been disappointed, and exhibited
very little feeling on the subject. They
are content to leave Mr.. Lincoln and the
Inaugural in the hands of JEFF Davis and
the Confederate States. % iea&
RICHMOND, VA.-The Dispatch says
every Border State ought to 60 out Of The
Union in twenty four hours. a
Dispatches from Staunton state that
the inaugural was received with universal
dissatisfaction. Ssasz1s 15ia% se'fa

says the inaugural is not such one as i,
wished; nor such as will copciliate or sat.

The Sentinel (Secession) says the post

We have read Mr. Lincolu,s Inaugural
carefully and attentivsly, and although it

ser than we feared 1t would be. Notwith-
standing there are passages in it which
might be construed to mean coercion, yet
taking It altogether we do not regard it

Il reads little as if IL had been gotten
up by two men of different shades Of poll
,ics--Nr. Seward and Mr. Chase, for ex
ample. Mr.. Chase sits down and writes
that the public property must be oceu.
pied and held BY the General Govern.
ment, that the laws of The GCnsral Gov
eminent mnst be enforced, and that the
revenues must be collected, &c. Mr..
Chase theu gets up, and Mr.. Seward sits
down, and writes that there shall be no
bieodshed or violence unless forced dpon
the national authority-that obnoxious
strangers will not be forced among the
people anywhere, &c. S. 81. 10 a..ss4
Notwithstanding the two ways Of read
Ing the message, wedo not recognize It
as wsrlike; and il Mr.. Lincoln. in his
public acts. IS governed By wha. We re-
gard as the Seward doctrines of the mes.
cage. there win probablybe no war. II may
be long time before some Of the seeding
States return to The. Union, but unless
obnoxious measures are vigorously en-
forced against them. we believe they will
return. M -
No man ever had moro glorious op.
portunity to immortalizs himself than has

the highest pinnacle Of fame he has stop.
