THR crEERAL WAR NEWS.

1HH FIN k1k2AA - AKA HAs "Ss
Our last nights dispatches, both special
and by Associated Press, TEEN with excit-
ing intelligence from Missouri and Vir-
ginia, and startling events must be speed
ily 1t land. The news from Southwestern
Missouri reached this city yesterday lit
Tie before noon and created intense excite
ment, and eager crowds throughout the
res. Of The day md evening we're gathered
around the telegraph and newspaper Off
ces, and in knots upon the street corners,
discussing the information already receiY-
ed, and anxiously asking further details.
These are supplied by our later dispatches,
which announce q sudden uprising and
development Of rebel strength in Northern
Missouri, amply justifying the policy of
strongly aiding tie Union men Of that Sec
tion by the presence Of Federal troops,
sid the number Of these will be largely
incrcascd to meet every demand incident
10 the restoration Of order and loyalty.
LII Missouri there is no doubt that the
serious work Of crushing rebellion has
1egun. II is evident that Strong measures
and strong forces alone will suffice to ex-
terminate the traitors in that State, and
for this her own brave Union men will be
speedily and amply reinforced by troops
from the loyal States on her borders.
Fortunately the leaders Of the Federal
cause in Missouri have been well tested
in the earlier movements Of the campaign,
and have proved themselves in skill and
esgacity adequate to every requirement.
The commanders are all right; pour in the
loyal regiments that are burning to see
service and punish treason.
In Virginia, Mcclellan is, from appear.
ances, placed where, fortunately for the
county and tie Cause, the tried courage
and skill OF that officer will stand him in
good stead. and Ohio and Indiana will
throw forward their eager troops to rein
force him. His help must come from the
westward, ard there will be no lack. Il
