AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI,
Interesting Ro8g-1e-doxv at Jefferson
CITY

From the st. Louis Democrat, 25th,1
Our adyices from Jefferson city by last
nights train, nTe such as to show but little re-
lance is to be p1accd IN the supposed peace
arrangement made between Gen. Harney and
the authorities at Jefferson City. When the
rumor of peace reached Jefferson, many ofthe
leading disadected soldiery ran up the
confederate flag, and loudly cheered for JefIer-
son Davis, and It still hangs to the breeze, in
defiance Of peace ARRANGEMENTS Or general or;
Price.
We understand also, that many Of the Off
GERS Of this rebellious army declare their
determination to provoke the Federal
authorities Until they send Gen. Harney
to Jefferson City, that they came to fight, and
one in any other way, they will hang some
one, 20 thnt Harney may be ordered to march
| upon them.
After thc papers Of the I'D were received
and read in The city, speeches Of the most In
fammato1y character we're made By Parsops,
Mitchell. Of Congressional notoricty, and

I'll eaid Gen. Sterling Price made d TEN.
perate speech, in which he counseled good
