I Theifollowing appeaisin the Messenger
of this morning: "All we can learn con.
firm previous reports that the secession
lists have full possession Of St. Joseph,
and are doing pretty much as they please
in that city. 1t is represented that they
have taken control of the municipal af-
fairs of the corporation, preventing egress
and ingress of both mails and travellers.
They have also levied heavy contribu-
lions ON several stores, taking just what
they want.
"The Steamer Omaha has been seized
and appropriated to their purposes, and
we learn that an effort was made TO send
the mail out by hand car, but that il
was intercepted and taken back; hence
complete blockade exists, which &C.
counts for our getting no mail matter,
The straightout Union have crossed the
river to Elwood for safety and took the
ferryboat with them.
"At Latan and at Weston it is said the
sasC ssionists permit no one TO go into the
town or out without passes. From all
we can learn the Union men and their
property in st. Joseph and surrounding
country are completely at the mercy OF
the rebels, and demand the immediate in
terposition of Federal arms to save them
from humiliation" .

MOVEMENTS OF REBELS.

DT. LOUIS, Dept Ii.
Advices from Northwest Missouri state
that since the withdrawal of the Federal
troops from st. Joseph, the secessiouists
of that region are arming again. Some
1000 are concentrated in Andrew county,
under Major Potter, and about the same
number of Unionists, composed of Mi.-
sourians and Iowaans, under Colonel Ora
yer and Andrews, arc stationed in the
same region, and both are preparing for
battle, which is shortly expected.
Tom Harris, with 1000 men, crossed
the Missouri river at Arrow Rocks, on
Tuesday last, bound for Prices army.
Six hundred secessonists, under Colonel
Hull, were marching towards Glasgow,
on Wednesday, to cross the river, and
join Martin Green.
The rebel camp at Dick Creek, in
Monroe county, was broken up by tho
Federals on Sunday last, and it is report
ed that three hundred rebels were cap
tured. Another rebel camp was broken
up at Spencorburg, Pike county, on Mon
day, and sixteen prisoners taken.

FRIEND LEWIS Your papers have
received very regularly, for which please
accept my thanks, as it kept me hand
somely posted in tho doings of our little
town. imagine how beautiful our
young and enterprising city will appear
to me, when returned from the seat Of
war. Our Regiment is now, and always
has been, in very good spirits; whether
We ever have been noticed by the
travellers and reporters, or not, makes no
material difference, as we intend to hold
our own. 1t is strange to see, however,
how many mistakes are made by report
srs I remember once reading an account
of the breast work thrown up in front Of
the Chain Bridge, on this side Of tho
Potomac River, and credited to the
Georgetown or Washington home guards.
1t is true they wero partially stationed
on both sides Of the river, at that time,
but the work was done by our regiment.

self with body Of 400 mon, for that purpose. In

NOT mentioned when indeed, we covered the retreat

Maine Regiment being credited whit work Of
largo clearing on Arlington Heights, when only our
Michigan Regiments wore engaged in IL, and even
now, since we took up camp hero, which VIC call

ing badly. More force, both of men and
arms, is needed in the Western Depart
ment, and if not furnished soon we fear
the result will be damaging to the Union
cause in that quarter. The indications arc
that a great battle must soon come off in
the vicinity of Washington, but reports, as
usual, are so contradictory, that but little
reliable information can be gathered as to
the true situation of affairs. 156 Federal
prisoners, among whom were Col. Wilcox
of tho Michigan LIST, and Col Cochran OF
the Goth N. Y, have been sent to Castle
Pinckney, South Carolina. The First
Michigan Regiment, having been ordered
to Washington, left Detroit on Monday
evening. Stockton's Independent Regi.
ment left, also, the same evening The
Eighth Regiment, Col. Fenton, has gone

PEACE MRErINos.-Weido not question
the motives of those of our fellow citizens
who participate at the present time in
what are called "Peaco meetings." But
at tho same time, our own judgment is
that such meetings are not useful and on
ly expose,those who take part in them to
misunderstanding and misrepresentation.
They are at this time out Of place and
only tend to inflame the popular feeling,
without accomplishing any good result.
No one will question our disposition to
cooperate for peace, whenever there is
opportunity for obtaining an honorable
peace. Until such opportunity offers, we
are in favor of vigorous prosecution of
the war.--Albmy AryM. alG u"

should become common. For, if permit.

THE CHANGE IN POsTMAsTERs

VI p,
EAST SAGINAW, Sept. IL, 1861.
Mr.. EDITOR IF you will allow the
space in your columns, I propose briefly
to explain the real causesIof the removal
of ID. w. @. Gage from the office OF
Post Master for this city. The Enter.
prise, in its last two numbers, has made
observations all around the subject, but
explains nothing, and fails utterly to
give any reasons why the thing was done;
the only semblanco of o reason suggested
is thus stated in the last weeks Enter
prize: a tff ofaJ aas.,a
Why the change was made" was
simply because Nugsnt was pet of Mr..
Trowbridge, who was determined to have
him appointed in defiance of the wishes
of the republicans or the people here"
The facts are, Mr.. Gage was removed
for cause; the appointn ent of Mr.. NJ
gent may and it may not have been made
Sin defiance of the wishes Of the republi-
cans or the people here"----Mr. Cages
appointment we know was--.-but the rea-
sons for Mr.. CTS removal are patent to
every citizen. What they were shall
endeavor to state -
The death Of the late p. NJ, George
G. Hess, in February, rendered an early
appointment necessary; then Mr.. Gage,
though his recommendations wero the
weakest OF any of the three leading can
didates, obtained that appointment thro'
the improper interference Of "friend at
court" His manner Of conducting the
office during his brief reign has been suf-
ficient 10 satisfy even the most skeptioal,
that it was an appointment "not fit to be
made"
His first movement on taking the Office
was TO put il solely in charge Of . slow
mo.ioned, incompetent, unsophistioated
boy, who had not the ability to manage
it, were his intentions ever so good, and
whose intentions, as manifesred, were to
discommode the public TO tho best Of his
ability. Notwithstanding the we'll known
requirements Of the business public, the
Office was closed at an unreasonable hour,
frequently within very few minutes
after the evening mail had been opened,
and no amount Of solicitation could in.
duco the Juvenile Mistr to receive let
tcrs for mailing, sell postage stamps, or
grant any Of the usual accommodation
which are, in fact, matter of necessity
with oui people. Mail matter was mis-
delivered in numberless instances, mis-
sent in all directions, aud in many in
stances retained for several days before
being sent at all-thc whole study Of p.
M. Gage, in the meantime, seeming to
be how to make tho most money ont of
the office. p

Capt. Godlcy's Cavalry Company.

In our last issue we noticed the depart
ure of Capt. Godley's Cavalry Company
and we arc pleased to learn that they ar.
rived safe and sound, at the rendezvous at
Grand Rapids, all in excellent health and
spirits. From letters which we have re.
ceived we learn that all of the men passed
inspection, and were sworn in on the 9Th
The surgeon who made the examination
remarked that he never saw so much
muscle in the same number Of men, and
all along the route, and at Grand Rapids
they were noticed in the most compliment
tary terms; their station is company A in
the regiment. The conductor on the cars
remarked that, though he had passed
thousands, this company were fifty per
cent better than any who had travelled
with him.
The people of Grand Rapids have been
most cordial in their attentions and seem
determined to fasten claim of gratitude
upon the people of Saginaw Valley, from
their assiduous attention to these gallant
volunteers whose favored lot it will be for
time to sojourn among thom. Col. KEEL
LoGG, Lieut.. Col. DAVIS, DR.. HENDERSON
Of the Regiment, and Capt. john CLAN
cEY, and many other citizens of Grand
Rapids are spoken of in the highest terms
by our correspondent, who is all enthusi-
asm over the very handsome manner in
which the company has been treated in
the valley city.
We are pleased to notice that our cs.
tecmed friend, DIR. WIN. BRowNELL, Of
Utica, Macomb Co., has been appointed
Assistant Surgeon of the Regiment. No
better man could have been selected.
