Peace to be Restored In Missouri.

ST.. Louis, May 81.
Major General Price. Commander in
Chief Of the Missouri Militia. arrived last
night. and this morning had an interview
with Gen. Harvey. when plan was agreed
upon for the maintenance of peace anil
avoidance of future conflicts between the
Federal and State troops.
They mutually declare common object
of restoring peace and good order to the
people of the State. and suboriination to
the laws Of the General anil State Govern
ments. and unite in recommending all cit
izens to respect each others rights through
out the State, and make no attempt to ex-
ercise unauthorized power. as it is the de-
Termination of the proper authorities to
suppress all unlawful proceedings. which
can only disturb the public peace.
Gen. Price pledges the whole power Of
the State officers TO maintain order among
the people Of the State. and Gen. Harvey
declares that this object being assured. he
can have no occasion, as he has no wish
to make military movements which might
otherwise create excitement, which hem
earnestly desires to avoid.
They therefore cnjoin the people TO at
tend to their civil business, and express tho
hope that the unqniet elements that have
threatened so seriously to disturb public
peace. may soon subside and be remem.
bered only to be deplored.
