COL. BLAIR's LETTER TO POSTMASTER BLAIR.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. /, 1851.
Dear Judge: wrote you quiteiful,
ly about our affairs here by Judge
Gamble, and l am more and more
convinced Of the views | stated. /
never recommended him to give a
contract to any one that he did not
use his influence to obtain it.
have felt it my duty to tell him
what they say, and he throws himself
behind the reports of his officers, who
are trying to prevaricate and shield
themselves.for neglect of duty, and he
still clings to them, and refuses to see
for.bimself | told him he would not
escape responsibility in that way, and
he would very soon find an army Of
rebels 10000 strong on his hands in
North Missouri, threatening st. Lou.
is, and diverting his attention and
occupying the forces he desired TO use
against McCulloch and Pillow. He
talks Of the vigor he is going to use,
but can see none of it, and fear it
will turn ont to be some rash and in
considerate move adopted in haste to
make head against formidable force
which could not have accumulated
except through gross and enexcusable
negligence. Oh! for one ho1r Of our
dead Lyon. Many have been dispos.
ed to blame Fremont for not sending
reinforcements to Lyon, and thus
averting the calamities brought Oh by
his death, and the abandonment OF
Springfield by his command. 1t is
very certain that il he had sent the
reinforcements to Lyon That he took
to Cairo, when it was supposed that
place was threatened, Lyon would
have driven McCulloch from the
State. lcannot say whether the at
tack was seriously contemplated on
Cairo that time or not; bul | am dis
posed to believe that the movement
by McCulloch and Pillow were inten.
ded to be simultaneous and co oper.
ate, but Lyon should have had some
part of the reinforcemcnts at auy rate,
aud if be had received NO regiments,
bis victory would have been complete.
