The several military companies Of his regiment are
now encamped near this city. Their general appear

The history of St. Joseph for the last six months is
a verifcaon of the wise mans saying that: The
way Of transgressors is hard" Last Fall the news
that in this place 4l0 men voted for Lincoln, was
heralded over the country, ard everybody was well
disposed toward Slave State city which could seak
90 loudly for Freedom Then her streets looked pros
perous buildings were going up every side, immi-
grants were settling in and around the city, and she
bade fair TO hold her prominence in the Missoari
Vall.y.
But last Winter a system OF persecution against Re-
pu caUs was begun by indicting the editors and car
rers of The Free Democrat, on the ground that the

chvalry, and they soOn began 10 whine and beg like
ours OF the "Yan6te. that they nj ght not be allowed
TO starve. Free State men were assured that they
would be perfectly safe in coming 10 ~ joseph.
Even fools said to learn by experience but here
the adage at fault, for tie fools OF ST. Joseph
learned nothing. They seem bent on their own
destruction. Secession flags are flying, while not n
