QU1HcY, December 8. 1851.
The rebel forays in the vicinity Of st. Jo.,
and the uneasiness manifested by the tribe
generally throughout North Missouri, together
with Prices high-sounding proclamation, rem
der it pretty plain that the t1aitors arc bent on
an active winter campaign. They arc sharp
enough to know that they can do more good
to the secession Cause by guerrilla war in
Missouri, than by going South into JEFF. Da-
yists regular army. They will strike here and
there, aud threaten places which they have no
hope Of capturing, expecting thereby to keep
large Union force employed in Missouri, in
stead Of permitting it to go South.
The river is full Of floating ice, and if tho
present cold weather continues j few days
longer, it will be bridgcd over firmly. Several
steamers have already hid up IN our
bay. If the North Missouri traitors can do any
pIoyed, now is the time. Quincy and Alton
should be burned, and il they have the pluck
to attempt II, as soon as the river freezes suf-
ficiently for crossing, they should try it. Il
they could manage to keep their movements
