BrOwnsOn OH the Rebel Leaders.
In the last number of Brownson's Qu

In the last number of Brownson's Quar-
terly, the editor has an article on the pres
ent war, abouDding throughout in that
clearness and energy of statement for which
he is justly famed. The following paragraph,
on the leaders of the conspiracy, is as rig
orous a specimen Of deserved inyective as,
the times have drawn forth:
For thirty years or more the South have
been taught to regard the North as their
enemies, and made to believe that they
could not live in peace with US; they have
been taught that we of the Free States are
mere money makers, destitute of any high
moral or religious principle, selfish, calcuia-
ting, cold hearted, and, worse than all, mere
towards. Their teaching has been bad, and
has led them into grave mistakes, For those
who have misled them, we have no excuse,
no palation to offer, not word in eXtenu-
alton oil their offence to utter. They knew
better, and have sinned against light and
knowledge. For them we have no mercy;
let them meet, as they deserve, the traitors
doom-not because they are Southern men,
or shareholders, but, because they are con-
spirators and rebels, bent on destroying the
Government under which they were born,
to which they owe allegiance, and which,
with all its faults of administration, is the
freest and best Government ever instituted
by man, and which, from its foundation, has
been, with that of Great Britain, the hope
of the friends of liberty throughout the
world. 1t is not against despot, or ty-
rant, or foreign domination that they have
conspired, but against their own legitimate
Government, whose only defect, if defect it
have, is that it claims too little power for
itself, and leaves too much freedom to the
citizsn. The American citizen who seeks
to overthrow the American Government is
not only traitor, but liberticide, dis
humanized monster, not fit to live or inhabit
any part of this globe; he has no suitable
place this side OF hell.

Sketch of Gen. Lyon.

The local editor of the Dubuque Herald,
Mr.. F. B. Wllkie, is now in Missouri,
Lieutenant of one of the Dubuque compa-
MES, and gives the following lively sketch
of Gen. Lyon:
Gen. Lyon is just now the lion not mere
ly here but everywhere in the Union, so far
as we can gather from our occasional
glimpses of outside doings. His prompt
action in Missouri will probably save it
from going out of the Union, and conse.
quenlIy an immense of bloodlettDg. He is
man of 35 or 40 years, some five feet
eight inches high, and weighs perhaps one
hundred and forty to fifty pounds. He is
wiry in build, and tough looking in appear
ance His hair is long and thick, bis whis-
kers busby and heavy-both are indescriba>
bly, sandy in hue. His eyes are his most
remarkable feature either blue or grey, at
times perhaps both, sort of stormy ex-
preston which is heightened by the wave
like wrinkles around them, dwes constant
ly in them, making him look as if something
was constantly going wrong-or different
from his wishes. His forehead is high and
OF even width, giving him when uncovered
an appearance of great intellectual force,
which is aided by the firm cut lines of his
mouth. When he first looks at you, that
stormy expression settles into his the
fesby waves roll up beneath and around bis
eyebrows. and you think he is preparing to
find serious fault-perhaps to get as mad as
the d. at what you have to tell him. You
finish, the storm rolls of, and with an ab.
sent air he answers, the waves again roll up
when you commence to reply. He smiles
little or none, is strict disciplinarian, has
the iull confidence of his men, among whom,
or at least among the regulars, be is known
as daddy" A lot of regulars will be
scufflipg on their campus-so somebody calls
out, Daddy is coming !" and in an instant

He goes absently along, plucking his beard

Among the absent were Crittenden and

Speaker Grows uncompromising speech
in favor of the immediate and powerful
prosecution of the war to crnsh rebellion,
was received with repeated and uncontrol-
able bursts of applause by the House and
galleries. Val 'audigham threatened to have
the galleries cleared. Didn't say what he
would do with members. The Senate hav>
ing nothing to do, did nothing.
The unanmity displayed in the organz.

The feelings of personal disappointment

Grows election is attributable chiefly to
determined opposition to Forney, who is
thought to have made almost too good a

Blair. 1t was this, and not Grows popu-
arity or ability, that elected the latter.

ington column will be made next week The
army will march in three divisions, headed
respectively by Col. Hunter, Col. Heintzel-
man. and Gen. Tyler, all under General
Mcdowell, with strong reserve. Each
division will be 10000 strong. A grand
army of $4,000 will be concentrated upon
Richmond in less than two weeks. This is
positive.
Immense numbers of wagons and army
stores are going over to-day. The pic

day, singing the MarseilIaise and Rhine
songs as they marched. 1t said 5000 more

The message was received with great re.

the country will respond, determined to

The Wheat Crop.

A fortnight ago we spent week in Da-

well, and the farmers were in good spirits
Within a week, some of the farmers of Hen

their neighborhood is not promising. 1t is
short in the straw and heading out short.
In some cases t has shriveled look from

of the State, we learn that they have suf.
fered from drought. We have had enough
rain, especially within the last fortnight
81. Anthony News.
Having conversed freely with numerous
farmers OF this county during the past week
we learn that besides the dry weather Of
the past month, there has been sCme kind of
a fly working on the growing wheat,
through the ravages of which there has been
considerable damage done. This fly works
near the first joint, and cuts off the nume-
rows shoots from the parent stem. In some
fields the wheat is reported damaged tosuch
an extent that it will hardly be worth cut
ting. II the numerous reports are true, we
cannot expect more than a half or three
fourths of crop of wheat in this county
this year. Some fields look excellent, while
others are almost worthless.-St. Peter
Statesman.
Conflicting reports continue to be receiv-
ed from the country in regard to the grow~
ing wheat crop. The general impression
is that it is more or less injured-in some
instances very slightly, Others not to exceed
half crop. The early sown wheat is inya-
riably the best and looks well. So with
that sown on timber land. In some locali-
ties the drought is claimed as the cause of
the injury, and in Others worm.--Man>

OF the Fort Scott Democrat for the follow

western Missouri, under date of June 28th.
He says Gov. Jacksons Secretary has call
ed a session of the Missouri Legislature, to
meet at Sarcoxie, seventy miles southeast
of Fort Scott, for the purpose Of passing an
ordinance of secession. The rebels in
Western Missouri were concentrating at
that point. Fug tives from Jasper county
were hourly arriving at Fort Scott, and re
port terrible state of affairs in that sec
lion. 1t is reported that Wilson, DR.. UIl-
man and other leading Union men had been
hung. In some cases escaping fugitives
had been followed into Kansas by secession
lists. Montgomery, with 400 men, entered
Missouri on the morning of the 9th, but
his object had not transpired.

We have long been threatened with an

son was to make his escape across the bor-
der, and with reinfOrcements from that
State, amounting as variOusly estimated to
from ten to fifteen thousand, headed by the
terrible Ben McCulIOch, would return upon
Missouri, reinstate himself at Jefferson City,
clear the "Dutch" out of st. Louis, and et>
fectually wipe the Union cause and its sup
porters out of existence This has been the
preaching of the Journal. The gray beard.

over it. Young lads upon the street cor,

to feel and respect the strong arm of the

regiment to be raised by General 6. M.
Hill, is ordered to organize at Benton the
second by General Roane, at Pine Bluff
the third by Hon. E. w. Can't, at Wash

burg the eighth by General E. d. Turner,
at Yelviile; the ninth by General II. D.
Merrick, at Springfield ; the tenth by Capt.
w. G. Mitchell, at Cannelton.
Each company is to arm itself with the
usual weapons of the country, and furnish
their own tents and camp equipments, which
will be paid for by the State on the certifi-
Gates of the captains.
The regiments are required to organize
with the utmost dispatch, and be ready for
immediate service.
