DxFERRED ITEMS
1t was stated that when Camp Jackson " as eyac1,,
ated by the State troops and invested by Coils SiQe
and Shuttners command, the men of the latter felt
themselves at perfect liberty TO rob and plumber
everything of any use on which they could lay
their hands; that the property of our St Louis
militia was sacked and remorsely appropriated and
that many valuable articles. such as clothing and
personal effects missing We have not had the
opportunity to investigate these allegation thor
oughly, to ind out how general were the raYages
thus committed.
Before the surrender of'Gen. Frost, and about the
time the picket guard WIS established around his
camp, several citizens were put under temporary
arrests by the Home Guards" in the most arb-
trary and outrageous manner. Some were treated
with positive rudeness and one or two with great
cruelty. A drover who stops at the Wedge House
was arrested. as we are informed and all the money
he had, 5000 90 taken away from him by Company
II. of of the regiments. On being released, the
Guard" required the driver to write receipt and
then kept both the receipt and the money, saying
that she knew what he was about
THE INQUEST.
1The Coroner has been very busily engaged in
holding inYuests on the bodies of those who
were killed at Camp Jackson and on Walnut
street, yesterday. Four bodies taken from Camp
Jackson are still at the dead house-not having been
identified They will be kept until to-day at noon,
when, if not Identified they will be buried Seven
persons were shot in the ARRAY on Saturday evening
five being killed with Minnie Rifle balls The
Coroner has already held thrtytwo inquests on the
bodies of those who shot on Friday and Satur-
day. Christian Dean, one of the parties wounded
at Camp jackson, died yesterday. He was sho,
through the chest He was machinist in the Pa
