ST. LOUIS, April 81. I
Quite number of editors of prominent
papers in the interior express much indig-
nation at the action of the Federal Govern
ment, calling so large force into the field,
especially for calling for volunteers from the
border slave states; but not much ilI-temper
is manifested and less disposition to run into
rash and indefensible measures than in some
other states. A good deal of secession feel
ing exists in some sections, but the prevail
ing sentiment is unanimous for Cancellation
and peace. The city is quiet and orderly,
and no public demonstrations of any charac-
ter have yet been made.
