IMPORTANT FROM MISSOURI

ST. LOUIS, June 81.
We have startling advices to day from
the Southwest, by special telegraph to the
Democrat, as follows:
SYRACUSE, June 81.
An expedition nearly thousand strong,
with four pieces of artillery, composing five
companies of Col. Blair's regiment and
Lyons regulars-the whole commanded by
Capt 1'rotten, left Boonvile on Wednesday
and arrived here yesterday Thursday
morning at ten o'clock. Gov. jackson and
mounted body guard 500 strong had pre-
viously arrived here on Tuesday, and had
destroyed everything perishable, regardless
alike of friend or foe. When they got wind
of pursuit they left before sunrise yester-
day morning -only few hours before the
Boonvlle troops arrived-and at eleven
o'clock we're passing through Florence,
some ten miles distant on the Warsaw road,
The federal troops arrived here only to fiud
the bird had flown, and they were then too
toot-sore after their long march to continue
the chase. They have to-day friday
started in fresh pursuit.
A battle took place last Tuesday morn
ing near the town of Cole Camp, on the
Warsaw road, about twenty five miles from
this place (Syracuse,) and nearly as far from
Warsaw. The party attacked were some
800 home guards under Capt. Cook in Camp
Lyon, and the assailants were the "advance
guard" of CIaib Jackson's flying hosts.
Capt Cooks men were mostly found in q
large barn, and ere they could prepare for
action the rebels bad picked off some of the
guards The engagement soon became gen.
eral, but Capt. Cooks men, not being as
yet fully armed, were compelled to quit the
field The loss on our side is l8 killed, 20
wounded, (some of them severely with 80
missing, probably taken prisoners. The
rebels lost some 40 men killed Not over
half of Cooks party were armed, and no
more than 200 of them at most participated
in the fight. Among their killed are Capt.
Carl Britt, and Lieutenant. Cook q men
are prepared to join Capt. Totten's expedi-
ton in disputing jackson 8 passage.
Before Jackson's troops left Syracuse, on
Thursday, q party of them went west on the
line of the Pacific Railroad, destroying the
track and burning the Lamine bridge.

left behind them has been seized at Boon.

w Au1IN0TONs June kJs
In Cabinet Council Il has been finally
determined to recommend to Congress, st
its forthcoming session in July, the making
OF direct appeal to the people loyal to the
Government, for the purpose of raising
means to prosecute the war against the re-
bells. A loan according to this plan is pro.
posed by calling for subscription 10 every
town and county throughout the loyal
States, under the auspices Of Postmastere
and Federal Officers, the amounts to range
from $50 to $1,000, and small subscriptions
to be encouraged and have the preference.
For these subscriptions United States
Treasury certificates, bearing seven per
cent. interest, and running three years, will
be issued.
This morning Professor Lowe with bis
balloon, made an aerial reconnaissance oil
the enemy's position from the vicinity Of
Falls Church, near Fairfax. He was ac-
companied in the ascent by Capt. A. w.
Whipple, of corps of Typographical Engi-
neers.
Commodore Stringham, commanding
blockading feet, is here on leave Of absence.
He says that all that is needed to drive the
rebels from their defences on Sewall's Point
will be few ri6ed cannon on the Rip Raps,
fact fully established by the recent test
trials Of projectiles from that point.
A large incre sc in the navy will be re-.
commended to the July Congress.
According to the statement in detail fur
nished by Secretary Cameron to the Presi.
dent, 235, 900 volunteers have been mus.
tered into u. s. service since the first proc
laamation of the President.
WASHINGTON, June %, 1861.
Col. @. III. Foster is announced as an un-
conditional Union candidate for Congress in
the First Congressional District of North
Carolina. Having made his appointments,
he will soon take the stump and prosecute q
vigorous convass. He has recently arrived
here from North Carolina, where he. boldly
appeared and defended the course>of the
federal administration in strong union
speeches, made at large public meetings,
which were got up by disunionists, for the
express purpose of denouncing Mr.. Foster,
and, if, possible, driving him out of the
State.

We learn from the alta California the
particulars of the immense Union Mas
Meeting held in San Francisco on the 11th
of last month. All the business houses,
banks, &C., closed their doors on that day,
and the people turned ont en- nasss to testi-
fy their devotion to the Union. United
States Senator LATHAM made powerful
speech, taking strong ground upon thesub-
ject Of supporting the Government. 1t will
be recollected that he supported Mr..
BRECKENRIDGE during the last presidential
campaign. At the conclusion Of his speech
he cited the words of the poet:
By the many hopes the living cherish:
By our faith in freedoms sacred trust;
By the patriot names that cannot perish;
BY the soil made dear by Langdon's dust:
By the deeds of Stark, enshrined in story;
By the voices speaking from the past;
BY our priceless heritage of glory,
Wen defend the Union to the last ~
The newly elected Senator Med
made thrilling speech in favor Of the
Union. Gen. SHIELDS, late United States
Senator from Illinois and Minnesota, now
resident in California, was also present and
made glorious speech, in which be said in
conclusion =" There (pointing to the Aag)
is a banner that defeat has never yet tar
nished; and I venture the prediction that
before six months that glorious banner will
wave in triumph from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and from tbs Northern Lakes to
the Gulf OF Mexico, over a united, regene-
rated and continental Republic"

THR SECRETARY or THE TBBAs-
URY.

The country may well congratulate itself on
the appointment and confirmation of Mr. Chase
az Secretary of the Treasury. Although de-
nounced in advance By malignant PrO-Slsyery
part;sens es man of extreme and ultra
opinions, all well informed persons are aware
that MIR. Chase is really not only one of the
ablest of American statesmen, but one OF the
most moderate, cautious, and deliberate. Reject
ing the wild and radical innovations of the Pro
Slavery school, be holds with true cOuser.
yatism to those great principles of Freedom on
which Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jay,
Franklin. aud ii smiltOn framed the Constitution
and founded the Government. His attachment
to those principles was ayowed in early life on
his first entrance into politics, and has never
yavered or faltered. He has stood by them.fOr
more than quarter of a century through good
report and evil report, in disaster in defeat and
has OF length witnessed their final tTiumPh in the
success of the Republican party. lie has long
and conspicuous, and stainless record. Ills pre-
eminent ability is admitted BY all, aud the basest
and most bitter of partisans have shrunk from
any imputatiOn upon his personal character
The recent impudent attempt to exclude him
from the Cabinet was based, when stripped of
its DISCUSSES, solely on the ground that Mr..
Chase was thOrough-gOng Republican who
meant what he said, and adhered to his princi.
pies after the election as strongly ss he did be-
fore it. and who could neither be cajOled nor in
timidsted.
1t is but Justice to both Mr. Chase and Mr..
Lincoln to state that Mr. Chase has been Gu
tirey passive in the contest over his appoint
ment. No man at his suggestion or by his pro-
curement has ever approached the President on
the subject of the Cabinet. II is well known te
the friends of Mr.. Chase that the Office of Sec.
retary Of the Treasury is not one which he has
sought or desired. The position of Senator Of
the United States, on which he was about to
enter for term of six years, was far more
cOngenial to his tastes and habits and asplri-
tions than that of Cabinet Minister. But the
interest of the country, in the judgment of the
great mass Of the Republican party, demanded
the presence in the Cabinet of his tried lnteg-
rity. his eminent administrative abilities, and his
unlinchng frmness. mr. Lincoln, from the
first. has desired his services, and with charac-
teristic inaexbility, has adhered to his choice IN
spite of the clamor that has been raised, while
Mr.. Chase has patriOticaly sacrificed bis prefer
ences of seat in the Senate TO his sense d
what is due to the wishes Of the people.

to the North, though not, we confidently believe,
from his own choice, bg! only from the con-
straint of what be has deemed an memorable ne.
cessity Of his local position. I'LL
Beside Mr. Crttenden in tbs Senate there
stood in the great contest which has Just ter
minated another Southern statesman, his equal
in ability, his superior in unqualified and uncon-
ditiOnal devotion to the Union aud the Constitu.
tion--we mean the intrepid Andrew johnson Of
Tennessee. Mr.. JOhnsOns history has been
strange and eyentful one. Left au orphan at an
early age, without property and without friends,
he was bound apprentice to tollOr. whom he
served for seven years. He never attended
school day in bis life, and painfully
taught himself to read by perseVeriug efforts
after his daily labor upon the shop board. AT
the age of 20 he married, and his wife taught
him to write and cipher Within two years ne
was chosen Mayor of Greenvile where he
had settled after removing from his native State
of North Carolina, and FIVE years later he was
elected to the Legislature. In i543, at the age
of IS, he was sent to Congress- where he re-
manned ten years, when he was elected Governor
of Tennessee; and after filing the Office for two
years, he was chosen Senator of the United
States in 1851. The high personal qualities
which have raised Mr.. JOHNSON, in the face OF
such disadvantages, from the position of jour
neymen tailor 10 that of United States Senator
were strikingy shown in the recent session OF the
Senate, where his brilliant and overwhelming
replies to General Lane commanded universal ad-
miratiou, while bis manly and energetic defense
of the Union gave him claim to the gratitude
and esteem of the Free States which can never
be forgotten.

CaITrRNDRN AND JOHNSON.

We print In another column Mr. Crttenden's
farewell address to the Senate. 1t is full Of
gratitude TO the North for the assurances that
the Northern Representatives and Senators have
given by their votes Of sympathy for tho Bor-
der Slave States and Of desire to do justice
to the South. II is fuu also Of love for the
Union, and Of wise eulOgium of the Federal Gov
ernment, of which be has been member for
more than forty years, his first term in the SEN
ate having begun in 1917. The veteran states
man, after giving hiS life to the public service,
retres from ID with his heart still beating warmly
for bis country, and his patriotism unabatsd by
time and untsinted by treason.
But while we regard with sympathy and ad.
miration the loyalty Of Mr.. Crittepden, we can
not but remember that during the recent session
of Congress bis efforts to psserye the Union
have been always coupled with conditions Ofens.

The Liberal Government, recently triumphant
in Mexico, has begun the work Of Church reform
by suppressing thirteen out Of twenty-five nun
neries in the capital and ordering their estates to
be put to some practical use. These proceedings
he'd to a slight fanaticsl outbreak on the part of
the lowest class Of the population instigated by
fbe priests, but the affair was easily suppressed,
with little blOodshed. From the returns Of
fhe votes at the recent Presidential election, il
appears that Juarez has plurality over his
competitors, Lerdo and 0rtegs, but as an abso-
iute majority is requisite, the choice Of President
will deyOlve on Congress.
