The Truth about Recent Events.

liable that a.e il upon mysef to set yon right upon
our operations here.
CAMP JACKSON.
IL il true rhis Camp war formed nnder the provisions
OF law Of the State, but it was nevertheless, used
for Secession purposes. The streets were AL named
after Secession leaders seceded States Ofthe newre-
crus no one could be accepted who not avowed
Secessionis;. The troops constantly cheering for
JET. Davis and The Southern Coniedeacy, and the
flag of thai Conspiracy w9 openly displayed in the
camp Prominent Union men visiting the camp were
treated with insults and blows, and hailed in
language AZ Federal 81 lee. The officers and men Of
his State Militia frequent in their abuse Of The
Federal Government, and loud in their approval of the
traitors. II long the boast of thess worthless that
the Aboitonists" should foon be driven out of the
Arsenal in this city, and that all friends Of the North
would have to find quarters on the east tide Of the Mis-
sssipp In fact no man in the State doubted the In
tenions OF Gov. Caib. jackson in forming this camp
IL was Secession, and nothing but Secession.
COMMUNICATING WITH TRAITORS.
II ID also known that Caib. Jackson has been send
ing enyoys Montgomery, Ala, to beg assistance from
the e. S. A., and promising ii his missionaries
should be successful, Missouri would coon be able
two of the loalest land weakest and moot blatant Of
all the Secessioss hereabouts or 10 he found any
where else were especially depuzed 10 procure arms
from Baton Rouge. Tney accomplished their mission and
brought up last Thursday lot Of material which they
succeeded in getting into Camp Jackson. The cannon
came up in boxer marked " marble Shot and shell
came up in boxes marked Collins axes" and mails !"
large mortar was boxed as old iron." The boxes,
rad in nav
were procured under promise from jackson, made on
his behalf by Greene and Duke, that with them the
Arsenal here could be taken from 4" Abe Lncoln's
Aboltonis,s."
THE TRAITORS KNOWN.
Every body knows that Caib. Jackson IL an unmiti-
gated Sec srionst, and morally unprncipled man.
He has frequently spoken for Disunion, and always
applauds the G. s. A. He has frequently sworn that
he would accept of ocomPronse that would b. offered
by the North. The emissaries Of JEFF. Davis have
aiways been received in Jefferson City with tie high
est honors, while every Union has been subjected
there to the greatest amount Of the vilest abuse All
that has kept the Legislature from passing ordinance
Of Secession was the cowardice Of the Secesouisis.
They could accomplish their objects Just well By the
military bill, and save their heads by-the-by. The
Secession flag has been floating all Winter in right of
the Governors house, and recently another thrown
to the breeze in front of that royal mansion. To doubt
that Jackson did not and does not Secession s
doubt the plain evidence your own eyes can see.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Every act that be conceived Of favoring
sion has been passed by this estimable body, The
act asc,f. Resolutions after resolutions condemning
the North aud euogzing the South, and declaring Mis
ouri and the South be have been passed by this
Legislature. Speeches in harmony with such resolu-
tons have been cheered and encored while speakers
struggling in behalf of the Federal Government have
been biased completely down. Acts after acts Of the
most oppressive character against the city Of St. Louis
have been passed because Of the loyalty Of city to
the old glorious Union. If there were no Secession
schees 10 rebel against the acts Of the late Legislature
would justify people in resortng to revolution for
relief
THE DRIvING-OUT PROCESS.
The Seeessonists have been carrying the driving
out process long enough. To drive out Union man

over this State this work is being done. The ugitivcs
are numbering legions. Single men are attacked by
armed bands and ordered TO leave without bidding
good bye to any one, matter bow dearly related nd
driven ont without the leasi opportunity to procure
means enough to purchase meal while on the road
The process is accompanied with free use Of the
blsphemous and insulting expressions. The powers
tina, be not only tolerate all this, but encourage it.
THE MILITARY BILL.
This bill gives Caib. Jackson more than ordinary
depo;c power. The lives and property Of Misoourians
are placed completely in his hands. Toquestion tho
ustness Of his conduct is to incur the death penalty
Three million of dollars is to be placed in hs hauds
and to be used by him at bis discretion. The money al

tie payment Of the July interest is all confscaled and
some thirty or forty thousand dollars beside, appropi.

General Harvey tells Caib jackson that that military

the Governor Of Missouri. IIsiney has vetoed Caib.

THE CAPTURE OF CAMP JACKSON.
The capture Of Camp jackson was done up under
the direction Of General N. Lyon No doubt the
grand affair was nstgated by the King OF TerroIs,
10 the Secessonists, the Hon. Frank Blair. This man
les Colossus in the eyes of the traitors and they
vowing his destruction by assassination. 1t will be
sad day for everybody who inclined toward JEFF
Davis when Frank Blair falls. But they will not carry
out the threat, else 1t would have been done this
The firing upon the people, however, was perfectly
ushfable. The troops did not fire until further for
