| INTENDED CAPTURE oE THE ST.. LOUIS Arsenal
AND JEFFERSON BARRACKS By THE WIDE AwAKEs.
The st. Louis Republican of the 29th nit. contains
the following, which will explain the alarming
Geographic dispatches received here few days
| since:
A letter has been placed in our possession, bear
| ing the Chicago postmark, and dated at that city
| on the 18th which contains some curious develop
ments. 1t is addressed to the commandant of the
| United States Arsenal at ST. Louis, and details, al
| more length than we have room for, the proceed
| ings of Black Republican meeting for the pur
pose of aiding the suffering people in Kansas, and
then goes on to give the proceedings OF meeting
| of ten persons, i'll secret, during which commit
| tee of three was called on to report what ASSIST
ance had been sent to Montgomery, and what had
been done at St. Louis. They are said to have re
ported that S., 600 worth Of arms, ETC.. had beer
| sent to Montgomery; that 1000 had been de
| posted with committee at st. Louis; that they
had 300 Colts revolvers and that they had delayed
their movements at St. Louis on account Of there
| being from 800 to 500 guns coming on from Ken
lucky to be repaired, ia fact Of which no one wa
supposed to have any knowledge,l and that they
would make quite an addition to their Stock
captured.
it was urged that it vas bad policy to delay tn
attack on the St. Louis arsenal, particularly as tn
| Missouri Volunteers and regular soldiers were ab
sent; and it was stated that q messenger ha
been sent to Montgomery, advising him to kce
out Of the way--tus making their presence there
for the time being, necessary. The plan, as dc
yeloped, was to take possession Of the Unite
States Arsenal, and also OF Jefferson Barracks, an
remove all the property to Kansas. The lette
says that they expected the assistance of larg
/, number Of able.bodied Germans, residing. in III
i neighborhood Of the arsenal, and Of most Of I'll
: men employed in the arsenal. 1t is said that th
Germans, at first, refused to take part in the ma
g ter; but this difficulty was overcome. One hun
j. dred men were to be taken from Chicago on til
enterprise, and the others were to be found in S
Louis. A great many details are given, but thef
Q viii suffice for tho present. If such an attac
y should be made, Major Bell will, no doubt, be PR
l. pared for them.
