A specimen Of the doings of "Jim Lane
is furnished in the St Louis Democrats
dispatches from Upton. After using the
contents of two Rebel stores to relieve two
Union families, whom the Secessionists
had robbed, General James Lane called
the citizens of Pleasant Hill together, be-
meath the glorious Union flag, and enter
taiDed them with live American speech
Pointing to the ensign he had raised, he
said to them "Tbat flag has been your
protection, and shall be still. So long as
it remains here You are safe !; but if i: is
cut down, by the Eternal / ,ciN and
Jurn your D,rn."' lie then retired, with
all his men. The affair occurred two
weeks ago, and although the denizens Of
Pleasant Hill are said to be about all Sc
cassionists, that flag is still waving over
the town,
