Proclamation of General Pope.
ST. LoUIs, July l9.-The following proca
nation has been issued by Brigadier General
Pope: ...
ST.. CHARLES, Mo. July l9.
To the People of North Missouri BY vir-
tue of the proper authority, have assumed
command in North Missouri / appear
among You with force strong enough to
maintain the authority of the Government
and too strong to be resisted by any means in
your possession usual in warfare s#
Upon your own assurances that YOU would
respect the laws Of the United States and
preserve the peace, no troops have hitherto
been sent to your section Of the country.
The occurrences of the last ten days, howev-
er, have plainly exhibited your lack, either
of the power or of the inclination to fulfil
your pledges, and the Government has there
fore found it necessary to occupy North Mis-
soHri with force powerful enough to compel
obedience to the laws, and as soon as it is
made manifest that you will respect its au
thority and put down unlawful eombinati ms
against it you will be relieved of the pres
encc of the forces under my command, but
not until then.
| therefore warn all persons taking up arms
against the Federal authority, who attempt
to commit depredations upon public or pri-
yate property. or who modest unoffending and
peaceful citizens that they will be dealt with
in the most summary manner without await
ing civil process. JOHN PorE,
Brigadier General U. S. A. Commanding.
