forbidding all fast riding and driving through the
streets. Last Sunday, DR.. Forsee Secessionist,

when sentinel commanded him to halt. The indig-
nant doctor, with energy than politeness, IN
vited him TO the regions made classic by Dante

same time a musket was leveled. The disciple Of
Esculapius again directed all Abolitionsts, and es-
pecially all Black Republican gems farme' to the
Internal regions; but the sentence, and his Sunday
gallon were finished at the same instant. The crack
of a musket, the whiz of Mimic, and the tumble OF
an infuriated physician, were simultaneous occur

Your readers will remember that soldier was
murdered in this city last June, by deputy consta-
BILE named Burns. A correspondent writes in The
\ TRIBUNE, of Sept. 81, that Burns was arrested by
the Kansas boys and turned to the civil authori-
ties, which s equivalent to bis discharge" That
prediction was verified. A jailer, with Rebel ten

hazards. The next morning the bird had flown, ana

Our citizens have a decidedly sharp plan for over

Two young men from this vicinity, named Early
and Harris, were inhumanly mur Tered in Platte
County on the 22d inst On The 2lst, they went to
Weston, city % miles south of this place, and the
next morning two farmers missed their horses from
their stables. Hurrying to the ferry-landing at
Riato near Weston, they intercepted the two young
men, in possession of the missing horses. They
were taken before Justice, examined, and ordered
10 be committed for trial. They were placed in a
hack, and sent to Platte City, the county seat OF
Platte County, TO be delivered to the Sheriff.

charge refused to deliver them and drove rapidly

the prisoners and papers were delivered to the

Early and Harris were quiet, respectable, Union
men-the latter being the son Of q clergyman living
near Cameron, on the Hannibal and 81. Joseph Rail-
road Their story is short, and, think, truthful
one. They were recruiting for q New-Mexco regi-

He WAS accepted and that night they slept in his
house. In the morning. their host advised them to
ride the ferry, it being dangerous to travel other
wise in that region; and, leading TO the door two
horses raddled and bridled, for their convenience,
prevailed on them to accept further of bis hospitality.

Though many Union men have very little conf
dence in Gen. Fremonts ability 10 meet and con-
quer Price, one thing ia certain: Union citizens in
Northern Missouri are more safe now than they
have been since the gallant Lyon fell at Springfield.
Gen. Fremont has, by his prestige and energy,
gathered about him Il magnificent army in re-
markably short time. True, Lexington was cap
tured, and the grand army Of the Union did not in
tercept the rebels in their gnominious flight from
their dearly Thought victory; but now that the army
ia in motion, Secessioniss fee before it like cbaf
before a hurricane. The less guilty are returning
to their homer and voluntarily taking the oath of
allegiance. With all their victories what have the
rebels u Missouri gainedl When they commenced
the work of swinging this State from its loyalty,
thsy had Governor, the choice OF the people, and
State Government in complete working order, with
military companies well armed, and drilling in al
most every county in tho State. Union families
were hourly fleeing for their lives into Kansas and
Nebraska. To-day, their State Government is
crushed to powder, and their Governor is hunted
from field and hill to copse and river, miserable
fugitive with "none so poor to do him reverence"
Their military companies are dispersed the loyal
