Union men in that vicinity plundering,
jsyhawkipg and arresting every Southerner
they could get hold of. The citizens have
applied 10 General McCulloch for assistance.
Later reports confirm the above rumor.
Mr.. John Sullivan, of the Fort Smith
Rifles, returned Saturday directfrom Spring
field. He reports a large number of Mis-
sourians concentrating at that place. for the
purpose OF organizing into companies and
egiments.
Asa startling discovery the Richmond
correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent
writes:
An important and startling discovery has
been brought to light within the past few
days, which must eventually, if the perpe-
traitors can not be ferreted out, end in our
discontinue, if not in a crushing defeat.
Traitors have been discovered in high
places. The New York Times has published
full and correct list of all our forces in the
field, with their regiments, with the States
from which they have been contributed;
their numbers, also that of battslons and
independent companies, with disposition;
giving the names of the various companies,
the names of their Colonels, their locality,
the brigades to which they are attached, in
Guiding those in Missouri, Tennessee, and
the Kentucky brigade; not emitting the reg
iment Of Colonel Vaudeville Marigny giving
the date of its arrival in Richmond, the
place of encampment correctly spelling the
ColOne's name, which is hazardous expert
ment to those unfamiliar with the spelling
OF French names; also adding the informa-
ton, composed of French Oreoles."
This information could have been only OBJ
tanned from the War Office. The Administra-
ton are not only perplexed but startled at
this discovery. Congress has taken the
matter in hand, and, conformity with those
high in authority, are giving the subject
close and thorough investigation. The ex-
element as a matter of course, is unusually
intense. 1t is known that in the clerical
ments, favorites of Northern birth, who were
known to be competent clerks from long
service in Washington, have been invited to
accept places in the bureaus; and there is not
a doubt entertained but that this information
has been supplied from some person who has
free and unsuspected access to the books and
papers of the Adjutant- Generals Office. Sus-
picion has attached itselfto sundry individuals
and, if the investigation can fasten it on the
guilty parties, drama will be enacted at
Richmond which must exercise wholesome
Influence for the future.
