Draper to day, from Washington, sayg a1l the
rerilngnta enlisted for the War should be
forwarded immedtafa1y. This dispatch will
be acted upon promptly
; Col. Anderson visited the Board of Brokers
this afternoon. Ha: was introduced to ]. r.
Garland, to which the Colonel replied tn sub
stance as follows:
He said he was not In the habit Of making
speeches, but his reception by them Was 50
fatter1ng that he mast say something. The
situation he had been placed in he would
willingly have ahi7rnk from on account Of the
responsibility, bntpFoVidence had placed him
in the situation a8d he had tried to do his
duty. Since the fall Of Fort Sumter he had
received very bitter letters from the South on
account of his refusal to join his destiny
with theirs. He: had never written OF
said anything ito :. indicate that be
would mite with the South. 1t the
outset OF the slavery troubles he did sympa-
thizs with the Southern friends, thinking
there was much Northern Interference with
the subject That II slavery Was an evil It at
tnchea~ to the 1b1<A alone. 1t the present
cri6is, neither slavery Dor party politics had
anything to do with the snb}ect. The quea
tion is government or no government, and hi
felt satisfied that when the present ordeal was
passed, we shall be again happy and unitei
people, This address Wus received with tht
most hearty cheers. He seemed very earnea
throughout, and his words flowed as If thej
came direct from the heart.

As much as our people lament the ne
cessity for the shedding of blood, and That
horrible feature Of war which sometimes
involves -combatants in the consequent
ces Of the strife, we hear from them no
words Of condemnation Of the conduct Of
the St Louis troops In returning the fire
of the secession 1nnbs by whom they
were >assa led 1t il believed here
that Union man is MADE OF
of just as precious clay as that which en-
tiers into the composition Of a rebel, and
that there is no obligation in law or right
for friend Of the Government to stand
still and have his brains blown out-oE his
throat cut, without resistance, because the
assassins are of the secession school in pol
tics aud Of the womanwhipping faith IN
religion The time has been when,
for the sake Of avoiding row,
Onion men were quite willing to ad~
init that the chivalry Of nigge7dom have
rights that do not belong to quiet citizens
who work for their bread. But this war
has put an end to all such damaging con-
cessions; and though Treason may now
have the advantage in threats and foul
language, there see1ns to be common
agreement that when the shooting begins
it sha1l not have an inch in the race. We
are glad that the German companies OF
St. Louis are in harmony with heir friends
further north on this subject; and we can
tell them that when assailed in the streets
where they have, rs citizens and soldiers,
an indieputable right, if they shoot down
the hounds who fire upon them, there will
be none to blame them, provided they dc
their work effcctually and well. Il
must be understood IN St. Louis tha
Union men, at any rate when armed with
muskets, are to be let alone; that pisto
shots viii be paid for in Minnie bullets
and that all co.1rtesies growing out Of the
use Of the bowic-knife will be cancelled
by vigorous thrusts of the bayonet. The
Secessionists, In word, are to be taugh'
that they are No longer privileged class
that when they shoot they must expec
to be shot-when they stab that they vii
be disemboweled on the spot. -.
Elsewhere in this paper, we copy from
the St. Louis Damoerat, various Item
which show the state Of public feeling il
that city, and at the same time throw new
light upon recent events.
