Missouri.

A correspondent Of the Memphis 1ppeal
with Gen. Prices army, writing on the 9th
ut., says, in reference to the action Of the
Missouri Legislature at Neosho:
Both Houses continued to meet and ad-
journ for want Of quorum for nearl!ya week.
There was quorum present in the House on
Saturday, the 26th ult., and the Senate hav-
inc adjourned the day before to Monday, the
3Sth, on thaS day both Houses assembled,
there being quorum in each to do business,
and went into seoset session. In the evening
after some discussion, the ordinance adopting
the Constitution CT the Confederate States OF
ArneSca, and making Missouri member
thereof, was passed. 1t was rot an ordnance
Of secession. The storm Of revolution which
had swept for months previous al over this
fair State had broken eyery tie that bound
her to the iniquitous Black Republican Gov
ernment, the United States Of America In
the evening it WAS announced to the camp
and surrounding country by the firing Of
CANNON, that sent their hoarse voices to the
distance of forty.Gve miles, ecioing ;'rd re-
echoing amcng the thousand hills and valleys
of the Southwest. The shouts Of the soldiers
rent The Lcarens. aud Yollcys Of small arms
accompanying tho rear Of the cannon fully
testified to tho JOY with which ssley received
the glad news.

A Singular Incident.

The Lynchburg Republican: of the 2Otl
ult., publishes the following incident, renarka
bic alike for its singulsrity as we'll as for it
melancholy fuillmcnt to the brother of ore
of the parties concerned:
Just before the war broke out, and before
Lincoln's proclamation was issued, young
Virginian, named Su,nmerfeld. was visiting
in the city of New York, where he made the
acquaintance of two Misses Holmes, from
Waterbury, Vermont. He became somewhat
intimate with the young ladies, and the in
tercourse seemed TO be mutually agreeable
The proclamation was issued, and the whole
North was thrown into blaze OF excitement
Upon visiting the ladies one evening, and
at the hour of parting, they remarked to
Summerfeld that their present meeting would
probably be the last; they must hurry home
to aid in making up the overcoats and cloth
ing for the volunteers from their tom. Sum-
,acrfeld-expressed his regret that they must
leave, but at the same time especially re-
quested them to see that the orercoats were
well made, as it was his intention if be ever
met the Vermont regiment in battle: to kill
one Of them and take his coat.
Now for the sequel. Virginia seeded. The
I'd Vermont regiment, portion of which was
from the town of Waterbury, was sent to
Virginia. The battle Of Manassas was fought,
in which they were engaged, and so was
Smnmerfeld. During the battle S. marked
his man, not knowing to what State lie be-
l,pged; the fatal ball was sped on its errand
OF death; The victim fell at the flash Of the
gun. and upon rushing upto secure tie dead
mans arms, Sumlncrield observed that he
had fine new overcoat strapped to his back,
whicl; he determined to appropriate to his
own use. The light was over, and Summer
field had time to examine his prize, when, re-
malkabie as it may appear, the coat was
marked in the lining with the name Uf Ihos.
Holiness and in the pockets were found letters
signed with the name Of the sister, whom
summerield had known in New York, and
to whom lie bal male lhc remark We have
pu"c.i, i:; which the dead man was a,iaresSc':
as brother. The cviicMcc vas CONCLUSIVE, he
had killed t!::. brother OF III: r.rnd, aid tie
r.mari which he Lad made i'll jest had u
melancholy iuIliii,ncnt. We are ASSURED this
narrative is literally true. SummcrGcltl row
wears the coat, ami our informant States is
mol u little impressed with The snguIarity Of
the coincidence.

A BRILi1ANrLrC Cool IDEA.-The ST. Ionis
Democrat, in the river column, gets oft the
following suggestion to the Nesthcgn military
commanders
The prospect at present is that the river
will get a foot or SO lower, and continue so
until navigation opens again in the spring,
but in the meantime, the river will have fro.
zen over hard and solid, alfording a secure,
although rather crooked ice rond to Cairo.
If troops require, when the river is frozen
over, to go hence to Cairo, or from Cairo to
St. Louis, they might skate the whole dis
lance on short tirnc, taking one days ratons
along. In view Of this, it may be good policy
to manufacture at eneo q fill supply Of army
skates. Indeed troops may be oasiiy, chci.ply

The Federal Government i'll the Eng
IiSh Money Market.


Without entering into any rash prophecy
as to what will be the fate Of the Federal
bonds now offering in Europe, it will be
enough to say that their origin and endorse
mcnt are such as would deter any ordinary
man Of business from touching them. The
Government by whom the notes are drawn
is spending at the rate Of one hundred nil
loaS sterling per ennlun, with q revenue
which it is not prufesaed can, uader any cir
cun,tances, exceed thirty millions, and the
collection Of large portion Of which even
will not commence until midsummer. Like
all spcndlLriiis, they assert that this rate cl
outlay will not last long, but for The moment,
at all events, the signs are the other way.
Next, while this expenditure is going on,
the resources of the country are diminished
By lock up OF cotton to the annual value Of
forty millions. and Which cotton will, upon
its release, be utterly insufficient 10 meet the
debts of tho Confederate owners. who are en-
terirg into pccuuiary commitments with no
less zeal alan their Northern enemies. Next,
when the war is ended, tic Federal bonds
contracted in the name OF the Union must be
exclusively paid by q dsmembered portion,
orbc legalized and provided for by 4 Con-
gross largely composed Of the persons for
whose suliugation the debt was contracted.
These are contingencies which, to say the
least, will keep any holder of the stock on a
bed OF thorns, while the unplcasantness of lis
position will be increased by the conscious
ness that, as he has inter!crcd in q quarrel
with which Lie had no concern, everybody will
regard his distress with complacency.--Lon-

The Old Man Dreams.

IhG ClQ Mau DEtdhes
o for one hour of youthful joy!
Give back my twentieth spring
I'd rather laugh bright-haired boy.
Than reign gray-bcard king!
of with the wrinkled spoils of age!
Away with lcarnihg's crown!
Tear out life's wisdom-written page
And dash its trophies down
One moment let my life blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame
Give me one giddy, reeling dream,
OF life all love and fame!
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling said,
elf I but touch thy silvercd hair,
Thy hasty wish hath sped.
"But is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
Whilst the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wishcd-for day~
All, truest soul of Tomanklnd
Without thee, what were lie
Ono bliss I cannot leave behind;
I'll lltake-my-precious-Wile
Tho anrel took a sapphire pan
And wrote in rainbow dew,
"The man would be o boy again,
And be husband too"
"And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before tho change appears?
Remember, all their gifts have fled
With these dissolring years"
Why, yes; for memory would recall
My fond psternul joys;
could not bear to leave them all:
III take-my-giriR-anG-bcys
Tic smiling angel dropped his POM
"Why, this will never do;
The man would be a boy agnin,
And be father too!
And 90 laughcd,-my laughter woke
The household with its noise,-
And wrote my dream, when morning hso
To please the gray haired boys.

A Private Letter from Com. Dupont.

A Private Letter from Com. Dupont.
In private letter to Fox, the Assistant
Secretary of Lincoln's Navy Department,
Com. Dupont says:
During the disheartcning evening Of our
passage my faith never gave way, but at some
moments tseemed almost appalling. On the
other hand, I permit no elation at our SIC
cess yet cannot refrain telling you that it
has been more complete than ever could
have believed
kept under way, made three turns, though
I passed five times between the fors, | had
Z lanking division of FIVE ships to watch old
Tattnall, who had eight small and swift stea-
mers ready to pouncc upon any one of ours,
should they be disabled.
l could get none of my big frigates up. l
thought the Sabine would have gotten clear !;
to the 81. La'oraace I sent no word, and the
Savannah was blown off, I do not regret it
now except on their own account. | believe
my plan was clever. l stood against the
tide and had the management the better in
consequence.
Their confidence was extreme that they
could drive us away. They fought braVely.
and the rifle guns never missed. An so
pound rife shot went through our mainmast
in the very centre, making an awful hole.
They aimed at our bridge, where they knew
they would make hole. Luckily shot in.
the centre let water into the after magazine,
but saved hundred lives by keeping under
way and being in so close.
We found their lights graduated ut 600
yards. When they once broke tho stampede
was intense, and not a gun was spiked. Iii
truth, never conceived of such fire as that
of this ship on its second turn, and am ;old
that its effect upon the specsptors outside of
her was intense. l learn tnat when tley saw
the flag flying on shore the troops were pow
erlcss to cheer, but wept. Gen. Sherman
was deeply affected, and the soldiers are loud
and uns;inting in thcir expressions Of admira-
tiou and gratitude. The works are most
scientifically constructed. an(e there is moth
ing like " Walker Gu the Potomac.
l did not allow the victory to check our
ardor, but dispatched some vessels under
Captain ellis over the other sidc.r To-day l
have all expedition to Beaufort to save the
light vessels, but they were fired instantly
after the surrender.
Gen. Draytop, wi,o commanded the rebel
forces in the rccert action OF Port Royal ard
Eeaarcgard, is the brother Of Commodore
Drayton, who 50 calamity commanded one q
our splendid gunboats i'll tie action. They
bombarded each other at great rate. They
are sons of the late Colonel Drayton, dis
tinguished South Carolina member Of Con-
gross.
Commodore Steadnan, who commanded
division Of our feet in the battle Of Port Royal,
is native and citizen of South Carolina.
