The danger of invasion upon the part of the Fed

Gently concluded between the Confederate States
and the State Of Missouri Ths contracting parties
make common cause in the unholy war wsged
against the liberties of both The chief control Of
military movements is given to the President. The
Confederate States are to meet all expenses for the
prosecution OF the war, and provision is made for
the early admission of Missouri.
The importance of this measure cannot be over
estimated. Missouri is now practically member
of the Confederscy. We understand that her Leg
islature has already passed an ordinance Of seces
sion, and her formal admission may be expected
this winter.
We hail with unmingled satisfaction the &C
QUESTION of this gallant State. Her brave
people have proved themselves worthy tt
be free. Almost unaided, without money, with
out military stores, and with only such arms as her
citizens held for sporting purposes ragged and
barefooted the patriot sors of Missouri have heater
back the abolition invader, achieving a series Of
successes that have astonished and electrified tbs
| country.
SrERLISG PRICE has proved himself to be one of the
greatest generals of the age. As partizan leader
he is unsurpassed and his rotating heHp-bale at
tack upon Lexington was master conception that
would have done credit to Old Hickory. Nay be
soon at the head Of his valiant army drive out the
vandal hordes that are now devastating his native
State.
The act of Congress passed at its last session
appropriated one million of dollars to purchase
supplies of all kinds for the Missouri troops. We
are rejoiced to hear that Sths pressing wants Of
these brave fellows have already been met, and
that all things necessary have been provided for
their comfort during the ensuing winter.

A Peep into our Camp at Centreville.


The army correspondent of the Southern Prssby-

of three Of our Generals:
We have the opportunity of seeing the Command
er mischief and Beauregsrd very frequently as they
pass by our camp on their tours OF observation.
General Johnston's headquarters st CentreVille
but he is so accustomed to personal inspection Of
the army and Notifications, that you do not often
find him "Gt home" BeaGregard's popularity ia
rather on the increase, Gf possible) and he never
passes us without eEciting the most enthusiastic
cheers We feel the most unbounded eonfidenceiu in.
and affection for, him, and he deserves it all He
is our beau-idesl Of good officer. Indeed we are
very fortunate in all of our Generals. Enough has
been written about Johnston and Beauregard to
testify to our regard for them but little has been
said in regard to Bonham. The first Brigadier com.
mssioned over the volunteer forces Of South Caro-
Ina he ALSO believe, the first to come to Vir
ginia from another State since which time he has
been in the command of the advance forces of the
Potomac The manner in which he conducted our
celebrated retreat from Fairfax elected the admi-
ration of Besuregard, who says at was the first in
stance on record Of volunteer troops retreating in
the face of an enemy with view of engaging them
in another positionn He has not had an opportu
nifty to prove his military ability on the battle field
but his entire de- ortment has been such to gain
the admiration Of his superiers and the affections
Of his command who are very much grieyed at the
certainty of losing him. The Richmond papers an
nounce his promotion to the rank of MsjorG General;
but, even if the report is unfounded, ne will soon
be elected to Congress from our district. Els ser
vices in that capacity, under the old Government,
are sufficient guarantee for the future but we can
not help selflshly regretrpg the loss We will suffer
