ONE OF THE TRAITORS.

Claiborne f. jackson, governor OF Nhssou-
ri until he forfeited the office by becoming an
active traitor. is peculiarly fit for intimate re-
lations with the disunon consplrators. lie
hos all the faIsehood, hypocrisy, meanness,
and contempt of free principles necessary for
sucb association, and he seems to be as weak
and cowardly as he is false. For long time.
-ever since he began TO get public attention
narb,Ds.-he has been a malignant nulifier,
an echo and lacquey of the arrogant extrem-
lists of the gulf states, and stimulous to
border ruffianism. He was one of the
most yillainous prosecutors of Col. Ben
ton. whose contempt for him was in
exure' ssible He secured his election to
the Office of governor, by protesting to be a
strong Union man but ever since the conspir-
ators of the gulf began to deyelope their trea-
son, he has done all in his power to force Mis-
souri, out Of the Union,-and done it, not
openly, Uut like a hypocrite who speaks fair
words aud stabs in the dark. Some of his Sc.
eret letters are coming to the light One of
them, dated April %, 1861, and addressed to
Mr.. Tucker, the reasonable editor oftlle State
Journal, shows what he is and what he has
been trying to do in Missouri. The United
States marshal at ST. Louis found it in the Of
fee of that paper. Here is an extract from it:
az do not think Missouri should secede to-
day or tomorrow, but do not think it good
poiicy that should openly so declare. want
a little time to arm the state and | am assum-
ing every responsibility TO do it with all posi-
Bile dispatch. Missouri should act in concert
with Tennessee and Kentucky. They are all
bound 10 60 out, and should go together if
possible. My Judgment is that North Carroll
IA. Tennessee, and Arkansas, will all be out
in a few days, and when they 90, Missouri and
kentucky must follow. Let us, then, prepare to
make our crit
We should keep our own councils. Every
body in the state is in favor of arming the
state then let it be done. All are opposed to
furnishing Mr. Lincoln with soldiers. Time
will settle the balance. Nothing should be
said about the time or the manner in which
Missouri should go out. That she ought to go,
and CH go at the proper time, 1 hare no doubt.
She ought 10 hare gone out last cinter, a0hen she
could hare seized he public arms and property, and
defended herself This she has failed TO do, and
must now wait a little while"
Portions of the letter are withheld from the
public, because there is good reason why it
should not be made public just at present"
What is published, however, shows him to be
an INSCRIPTIONS hypocrite, who should have
no mans confidence or respect. He is, and
has been, all along. one of the rankest, most
INSCRIPTIONS, and most cowardly traitors in the
country. He should be hunted down and pun
ished as he deserves.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer of the 18th has
the following account of the brief engagement
between Gen. Cox's Kentucky regiment and
the rebels under o. Jennings Wise, in western
Virginia, and of the preciptate flight of the
latter. 1t is the same engagement which is
referred to in Gen. McCIellan's official dis
patch, telegraphed this morning =
]. H. CLARK, councilman of this city, arrived
last night from Gaipolis, direct, and brings
the following interesting news -
Gen. Cox left Gapois on Thursday night
with the Ohio eleventh regiment, Col De Viii
liers the twelfth, Col. j. w. Lowe; and the
twenty-frst, Col orion. The first and second
Kentucky regiments followed next morning.
The Kentucky second stopped at Guyandotte,
and had sharp skirmish with from 500 TO
lOOO rebels, under o. Jennings Wise, and that
scourge of western Virginia, Jenkins, both of
whom fled precpitately on the first fire, leav-
ing their men to take care of themselves. -Four
OF our men were killed, but what damage was
done the enemy is unknown.
The rebels copied Wise and Jenkins, and
ned. Our regiment came up with them again
at Barberville, II miles further on, and had a
sklrmlsh in which three or four on our side
were wounded, but none killed. The number
of killed and wounded of the rebels was be

The Army Worm.
Hmm thn Enll Riunr Nn,,ts Iath


This destructive insect has made its appear.
ance within day or two in several of the
grain fields in this vicinity, completely raw
aging and destroying the ripening crops. We
visited two fields of oats yesterday upon which
the rapacious varmints" had commenced
their foIaging assaults, and the spectacle was
saddening. The spears of grain were covered
with the worms, giving the whole field Il black
appearance, while the ground and surrounding
fences were literally swarmed with them. We
passed over some seven acres, comprised in
two fields, and every foot Of the soil seemed
to be alive, and we could hear very distinctly
the sharp crepitatlon as the grain and leaves
were snapped from their stalks. Bay ley H..
Borden, Esq, has field OF oats about one
mile from tile city, nearly three acres in ex.
tent, and in capital condition, from which he
expected to get one hundred and seventy-tiv
bushels of oats. On Tuesday afternoon he dis
covered few worms around the fences and
upon examination the field was full of them
millions of the internal yisitants pursuing their
active and destroying mission. To day Mr.
Borden will NOW his oats, which are about
halt formed, TO save his visitors the trouble of
doing it for him, and thereby giving them a
forcible hint TO leave and go down JeioW, from
whence they probably came. j. w. Wood
man, Esq, has Il field of oats, just in the rear
OF his residence, consisting OF four acres, from
which he expected To get about three hundi ed
bushels The worm appeared, or was discov-
cred, Tuesday, and Mr.. Woodman yesterday
moved his field in the hope OF saving imna
ture OATS for iced" but we learn that the
worms are devouring even the withered stalks
In several instances the farmers have built
fires TO arrest the progress OF the worm toward
their corn fields, but they are complete
salamanders, the fire having only the effect
of increasing their vigor. There are all
sizes Of the worm to be seen in the fields,
from a half to two inches in length They
have sixteen legs-the foremost proplegs are
shorter than the rest. They travel rapidly,
like the caterpiiler, and go in droves across the
streets and through stone walls. The worm
is doubly striped with black on tile back, and
sprinkled with black spots Their description
answers to that of the army worm, which lasts
from three to four weeks, though there is some
doubt as to their identity with that species. In
some other particulars they resemble the
brown wheat weevil, so destructive in New
York and northern Pennsylvania. They come
i'll armies, and the effort TO keep them at bay
is certainly serious and unpromisng one,
for they seem to have adopted as their motto,
CONQUER or die p Whether they are the
vanguard OF the secession army let loose upon
us for the sin of slavery, Or something else, we
do not pretend TO know, but unless they can
be arrested very speedily, they will destroy all
the grain fields in this region.

How THE ScoTT GIRLS WERE TAKEN
Capt Hawley gives in the Hartford Press the
following account Of the capture by Lieut.. Up
ton of the Scot sisters, who trapped Capt.
Kellogg: He went in great distress to The
house of the girls, and presenting himself as
secessionist, chased by the federal cavalry.
They gave him an opportunity to change his

named barnes, were very friendly. He in

forgotten that it only repaid the Kellogg debt.
The girls were brought to camp, but released
after cross examination by Gen Tyler.

REBELS DEMoRALIzED.-A letter received
in this city from an officer in the first Virginia
regiment says the rebel forces in western Vir-
GINA were totally demoralized. 1t is said
with bow much truth the writer does not
say, that previous to the evacuation of Laurel
Hill desperate fight took place between the
Georgians and Virginans. The Georgians, it
appears, made the rural Virginians do all the
rough work, while they superintendent it,
Old Virginia couldn't stand this, notwith
standing her zeal in the cause of secesh, and
the result was fight. Some fifty newly made
graves were found on the top Of the hill. For
some days previous to the rout there was no
friendly communication between the Georgi-
ans and Virginians. Some of the captured
Georgians have been heard to say that they
didn't come into Virginia to dig holes, and
that the Virginia boosters ought to do the
work. They say they are gentlemen, and
not at all accustomed to excavate. Besides,
they say they came to help Virginia out of
scrape, and it is inhospitable, TO say the least
OF it, to ask them to dig her bitches.
