ing to realities view any ordinance for her
separation from tho North and union with
the Confederate States as a nere ourwsr
ceremony 10 give notice 10 others OF an ac'
already consummsted in the hearts OF her
people; and Thai, consequently, all persons
with the expedition accompa
ny will expect that, in the country under
lis influence, no authority OF the Unied
States of America will be permitted, and
that Of Missouri, as sovereign and inds
pendent State, will be exercised with a
view TO her speedy regular union with her
southern sisters. g. q
Ills almost unnecessary 70 announce that
the operations of the Confederate States
forces and the Missouri State troops CO, OPP,
Grating with them, will be conducted ac-
cording 10 The most humane principles OF
civilized regular warfare. Without deierm-
lining in advance " hat reparstion should be

ted an Missouri, under the countenance OF
the brutal proclamation issued by the Lin
coin leaders, Lyon, Curtis, Pope and 9th
ers, | will give at least this assurance, that.
expecting better, things from Major Gcner-
al Fremont, the State authorities will doubt
less afford him an early opportunity Of de.
ierminIng whether the war is hereafter 10

shooting Of women and children. the firing

lice, at ST. Louis, the coward y acts OF the
Lincoln soldery tow ards such respectable
and patriotic citizens as Alexander kayser
and A. w. Simpson, the arbitrary arrests

and other distinguished. citizens, the murder
OF DR.. Palmer, the summary shooting of
unarmed men in North Missouri without
the form even of a drum head cour: martial,
and many other transactions sanctioned or
lett UNPUBLISHED by Gen. Fremout's prede-
cessurs, are barbarlties which would dis
grace even Comsnches; if like acts cannot
hereafter be prevented by motives Of hu.
mainly considerations OF an enlightened mil
llsry policy may be awakened in him by the
retsrialion which, in subsection 10 the laws
of civilized warfare, but swift, sure, ample,
stern, unrelentiDg, and, if necessary, bloody,
The Missouri State authorities leel Them
selves both able and determined 10 institute.
On the Lincoln government will rest the
entire responsibility, before God and IN his
tory, for The character of O war which, If
continued as il has been begun by their
forces in our Stale, will soon become one
the most bloody and calamltous TN record;
for The Grizzly Bear OF Missouri, not a
very amiahle animal even when merely
supporting her shield IN time of peace, will
be ruthless Toe when let loose on those
who, having causeessly excited his ire,
will be certain TO get, sooner or later, with /!
IN reach oil his death dealing paws.
To those Missourians who desire 10 CO. ]
operate with this expedition, specific in
formation will be duly given Of The course
they should pursue. While the military
operations of the Confederate States against
the common foe, will most materially aid us
in our struggle Tor freedom, yet our ulti.
mate delIverance must OF course depend up /
on our own exerIinns. Let every Missnu-
rian prepare himself 10 take part in cur
war oil independence; in due season that
part will be indicated 10 hun. But above
all lei us humbly invoke The aid of Almighty
God, the sure refuge of the oppressed; for
He has declared tina, s'lhe battle is not 20

but lime and chance hsppeuerh TO them
ALL i
Citizens of Missouri! In this decisive
crisis Of our destiny, let us rally as one
man 10 the standard Of our State. The in

warns us against division among ourselves.
United we stand, divided we fall" I -,
address myself TO those who
though Southern in feeling, have permitted
a love of peace 10 lead them astray from
The State cause. You now see the State
