SECESSION HoxoR. St. Joseph
Gazette is not only again clamoring for
Missouri to repudiate the interest on her
debt. but ia taking the St. Joseph mer-
chants roundly to task for honorably
meeting their obligations. by paying
their debts at the East. The Gazette
calls it false notion of honor which in
duces them to send the money to the
people who are fighting the secessionists.
when the funds may soon be needed to
defend their brethren of the South. Now.
as the money belongs to the merchants.
and not to the "Southern brethren. "
does the Gazette want it kept at home,
that it may be seized under . "forced
losn." to pay the way Of treason? Pro-
badly the merchants prefer using the mo.
ney to preserve their honor and business
reputation, rather than to have it stolen
from them BY pirates. to destroy the
Government of their country.

The Opening of the Campaign-Rebeilion
Giving Way In Ma yIand and Virginia.

The twenty days grace of the Presidents
war proclamation have expired, and the go
veInment, ceasing to act on the defensive, will
TO- day commence tho great work of putting
down this formidable Southern rebellion, in
the movement Of the warlike forces of the
United States, by land and sea, for the re-
coyery OF those forts, arsensls, custom houses,
navy yards, minis, marine hospitals, &c,
''seized from The Union" in the revolted States
The campaign opens beautifully. Within the
Short interval Of twenty days thirty thousand
men, fresh from the body of the people,
have been drawn from the loyal States, armed
and equipped, and transported TO aud near the
base of operations al Washington. Full fifty
thousand more are en- route, or are awaiting
marching orders to be mustered into SER
vice. and two hundred thousand more are in
the preliminary stages OF organization. in
fact, moved by the same impulse and Iesolu
ton in behalf Of The Union, our men. women
and children of the loyal States, exceeding in
numbers twenty millions, present the imposing
spectacle Of absolute unanimity in support of
the government. The moral power of this

The News.

The screw steamship City of Baltimore, from
Liverpool April "a, and Queenstown on the after
noon of the 9th, arrived at this port at q late
hour last night. Her dates by the way Of Queens
town are two days later than those received by
the Arabia, but the late hour at which the news
was received precludes further mention Of it in
this place.
We have advices from Utah Territory to the
18th ultimo. The Mormons celebrated the thirty
first anniversary Of the organization of g The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on
the 9th and It'll ultimo, on which occasions the
temple was 6lled to overlooking. Among other
business transacted was the election of officers.
Brigham Young was reelected President Of the
church, Heber Kimball his first and Daniel e.
Wells his second counsellor. Apostles Taylor and
Smith in their addresses, in abiding to an alleged
prophesy Of Joseph Smith, that if the government
did not redress the wrongs of the Mormons, they
should have mob upon mob, until mob power and
that alone should govern the land said they were
in no measure grieved to see the prophecy full
filed. Among other topics, Brigham Young urged
the establishment Of homo manufactures, so az to
be independent of the States. The rumor that B.
ID. Harris, the first Secretary OF the Territory,
likely 10 be appointed Governor, met with decided
disfavor.
call has been made for meeting OF the Board
of Aldermen for this evening at five o'clock.
In most of the city churches yesterday sermons
were preached on The present distracted state Of
the country. In many Of them strong arguments
were used by the pastors to their nocks to support
the government, and eloquent appeals were made
to them to uphold by adequate supplies Of men and
money the honored Flag of the Republic.
The annual sermon was preached in the Church
Of the Puritans, Union square, last evening, by
Rev. DIR. Blanchard the President Of Knox's Col.
ege, before large and fashionable congregation.
The sermon was eloquent and appropriate.

The absurd rumors Of Gen. Harney's disloyalty
are dispelled by his address to his fellow citizens
ofMissouri in hch he declares that he will stand
by the government which has heapod honors upon
him, and will stick TO the flag under which he has
served for so many years with fidelity as every
loyal man should. On his arrest at Harpcr's
Ferry by the reroutionists recently, il viii be re-
membered that he was treated with the greatest
courtesy and Immediately released by Gov. Letch-
or, probably with the expectation that, being a
Missourian, he could be Won over to
the rebel cause. With similar ex-
pectaton, tie secessionists made proposals to
Gen. Scott to resign has commission in the federal
State; but in both cases the hopes OF the reyolu-
tionists were defeated.
II was believed in Washington that Major An
derson had brought large amount Of specle---to
the amount of some millions of dollars-to the
Treasury Department and it is possible that he
was entrusted with the care Of the money, which
was undoubtedly sent on there on Friday last
under an escort Of soldiers.
