DIVES FROM ST LOUIS TO AFRIL lshI
FIGHT in ST. LOUIS!
From lAs Porllaaa Advertiser. Nay q.

ST. Louis, May 10, 1861.
The Government has determined to put
down rebellion. All the important points
are being strengthened by troops.
Battles are hourly expected At IIarper's
Ferry, Richmond, and several other places.
The most important affair last week was
the capture Of Camp jackson, at St. louis,
BY the U S. troops. There was o dght
between the troops and the mob, which re-
suited in the killing Of several Of The troops
and citizens. Great excitement prevailed
IN consequence. Eight persons in all were
killed, and twelve wounded.
Saturday was most exciting day in ST.
Louis. Mobs paraded the streets, threat
ening death aud destruction to the Ger
mans. Saturday afternoon corps Of U.
S. troops marched up Walnut street towards
their armory, when they were attacked by
q mob, and three Of their number were
killed. The soldiers wheeled and returned
the Gre, killing three aud wouBding several.
After half an hours severe fighting. the
mob was dispersed Crowds paraded the
streets on Saturday night, with the aVowed
parpose Of destroying the lives Of the Ger
mans. Il is reported that six Germans
were killed on Franklin Avenue.
Gen. Harvey arrived ut St. Louis on
Saturdaya and assumed command Of the
Military Department of the West. He i'm
medately issued q proclamation, calling
upon citizens 10 preserve the peace, and
threatened 10 declare martial law if the
municipal authorities were not sufficient.
Gen. Frost and command, who were Ia
ken prisoners, baYe been released on parole,
by taking an oath not to fght against the
Government.
The Missouri Legislature passed several
bills on Saturday, the nature Of which is
not known. IL Is thought secession ordi-
nance vas passed.
The Governor and Legislature are great
y excited for fear the U. S. troops would
march upon Jefferson City The bridges
we're burned on the 0sage river, to prevent
the passage Of troops.
The city Of St. Louis IS comparatively
quiet to-day.
II is reported that the Government Of
dc Confederate States have asked for an
lfmisiiee Of sixty days.

Tribute Of ResBect.

At special meeting of Olympia Lodge
No. /, of |. o. OF o. F., held in their Hall,
May oath, 1861, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted
Wlereas, 1t has pleased an All-Wise
and inseiutable ProPidence TO FemoTe from
our midst by death, our much esteemed
friend and brother, JOHN K. HALL, D. D.
G. S. for Washington Territory, after o
long and distressing illness, preceded only
a few days by his inesimable and worthy
companion, Mrs S. D. HALL.
Therefore be it resolved by Olympia
Lodge No. /, l. o. Of o. f.
LIST. That by the death Of Bro Hall the

gent citizen, aud high-minded and honora-
able man-sOciety an exemplary and chris
tian asnament-his. family an affectionate,
dutiful aud kind father and relative, ,--and
this Lodge o faithful and experienced Off
Ger, and a jealous and fraternal member.
3D. That we deeply and sincerely re-
gret the loss Of our brother and bis esteem

reminded Of the solemn truth, that as the
grass falls before the mowers seylhe, so
man, being as the grass and flower of the

we have the fullest confidence that they

Whale Trade.

But we have shown in our last number
that the whaling business is, aud Of neces-
sity must be, decreasing In this ocean and
at these Ishnds; and we have now shown
to what great extent they have been beue-
fitted by it. From both these premises,
then, and we believe them mainly correct,
tits evident that the necessity to provide
against an event which no foresight can
avert is urgent and imperious. What We
lose in the desultory productions and sup
plies to whalesbips and their crews must be
made up in an increased production Of arti-
cles fit for export; articles which, possess
ing permanent, marketable value abroad,
will be to the native an unfaling resource,
a little horderto cara perhaps, but more en-
during and more beneficial in its reselts.

Gov. DowHEY on CoERcIoN. will
express to the Committee my appreciation
of their kindness; and assure them Of my
hearty cooperation in every movement that
has for its object the perpetuation of the
Uaion, the Constitution and the Govern
ment under which we live and of my de-
termination to discharge oil my constitu-
tional obligations to the State and to the
Federal Government and that shall use
oil constitutional means to preserve intact
the happy relations that now exist between
the Union and the State TO preserve
peace, to suppress violence, come from
what source it may, and hand over my
charge unsullied and untarnished to my
successor.
In my Annual Message to the Legisla-
ture, delivered in January last, before the
unhappy difficulties that now agitato the
Union had assumed their present magni-
tude, l made use of the following language:
The people of California desire no
change in our form Of Government; they
desire no dismemberment that would weak
en- us as q powerful people Our vast sea-
board unprotected, requires. the fostering
care Of powerful maritime nation, such as
the American Union has become. They
desire to remain in the Union, and grow
with its growth, and strengthen with its
strength; and, while anything exists worthy
of being called an American Union, l mis-
take much if the people of California will
not cling to it with q patriotic devotion
worthy of men who can appreciate the
blessing of selfgovernment."
have had no reason to change in sem
timent- since made use of these express
ions, and think l have given evidence Of
consistency in my public acts. l believed
then, as l believe now, that the only means
of preserving the American Union was
honorable compromise and respect for the
constitutional rights of every section. |
did not then believe, nor do | now, that an
aggressive war should be waged upon any
section of the Confederacy, nor do be-
lieve that this Union can be preserved by
a coercive policy. The future will reveal
the soundness of this position.
desire that the whole people OF the
State should know my position on this sub
iect as have nothing to conceal, nor
should l deceive the humblest citizen in
this State in this respect.

LACK OF ARMS, sc, IN The STATE,

LACK OF Arms, &C, IN THE STATE.
Our State is very badly furnished with
arms and ammunition. 1t is particularly
deficient in artillery There is not pow
der mill in the State, and no armory but
doubtless servicable cannon could'be turned
ont from many foundries. The militia, it
may be said, is totally unorgabized, out of
st. Louis. For these reasons honest
Union men, who at the same time cherish
State pride, are in favor Of an effective
militia Organization. The republicans here
say such an organization looks to secession
No doubt with secessionists it does But
really, as believe, majority Of our peo.
pie are not in favor Of secession and
doubt whether a military organization could
be turned 10 that direction.
SENSATION RUMoRs-PR MEASURE.
For weeks we in st. Lauis have been ag-
itated by rumors Of meditated attacks on
the arsenal at this point No such attack
has ever been favored by leading politicians
Of the States Rights school. AT one time

countenanced it, Fears Of it led to the

are now in the service Of the United States,

some months since were pretty large, but
2l 900 stand of arms and other munitions
were removed about a week ago, and il is
believed that at this time what remains
bears but small portion to what has been
taken away. Among the Colonels Of these
arsenal recruits is Mr.. Boernstein, former
editor Of the German Aazeigsr, and Thomas
p. Blair, Jr. Mr. Blair was chosen to the
present Congress, The arsenal has been
greatly strengthened. Within the walls
cannon have been so disposed as to enlade
open in case Of an assault And outside,
on height in the neighborhood, there has
been thrown up redoubt furnished with
artillery TO be used at the discretion of the
commanding officer.

CHAPLAINs FOR THE ARMY.-We take it for granted
that the State authorities will include chaplain in
the organization of every regiment and place one at
every military post. To doubt this would be grave
imputatiOn upon our rulers.
We also presume sufficient number of ministers
of the Gospel will volunteer for this service and
that the only difficulty will be in making selections
from among the numerous applicants The right
sort of men, for this duty, indispensably neces
sary, and may be greatly useful-such men as are
thus described by an exchange:
A clergyman who is good for nothing at home
whose religion sits loosely upon him, whose morals
are questionable, or who is ignorant or shHless,
should by no means be admitted to the army 4
selfish, timorous, canting, or long-winded man is
equally Objectionable. While the highest mental
culture is not essential in the charge of church.
the army chaplains should be inferior to none in
ZEAL self devotion and pety. He should be quick of
dscernment of perfect selfcontro apt to speak, of
frank address, of unfailng kindliness, guileess of
heart yet full Of TACT and especially of great charity
and comprehension. Without mingliHg in the ruder
habits of the camp, he should not be frightened by
them. He should know when to rebuke and when
to hold his peace and be capable of discerning the
true moral quality of the acts of men under unusu-
al circumstances. Having this-perhaps the rarest,
as it is the most important qualification of the
lgiouS teacher-he will not be always reprovng or
preaching but will aim to secure the confidence and
affection of the wayward flock intrusted to him
He will become the general depository of the wants
and wishes of the men, their in Sickness their
friend at all times and the means of leading many
of them to a better life. The toughest men are by
no means the most inaccessible to religious intu-
ences but they must be treated in unprofeSsiona
off hand and thoroughly human way."-NOrH-
