AFFAIRS IN ST. LOUIS The promptitude and
energy OF Capt. Lyon, in command of the United
States forces in 81. Louis, in demanding and en-
forcing the surrender of body of some 500 men
in arms there under the pretencs Of being State
troops, but really in close afiliation with the
secesslonists, is worthy Of all praise The mis-
cnlef wrought by the d sunioBists up to this time
has been so wrought for the most part under the
false plea that tLeir preparations have not been
made in hostility 70 the United States, especially
In the border states. To permit preparations for
aggression to be longer made unchecked any,
~nere Oy notorious sympathiZers with secession
VIII surely be TO give up the contest. Had Capt
Lyon failed to take from the captured men the
weapons with which they Were armed, knowing
as he did that they Were the property Of the
United States, stolen by the diSunionistS further
South and semitic Missouri TO inaugurate secession
there bT force Of arms, he would nave BEEN crimf-
hally dereiict In his duty The truth is war is
now TO be net everywhere with war. That the
government has made up its mind to accept the
ISSUE OF arms forced upon it, Is evident in this
occurrence az St Louis, as in its armed occuDa-
tion of MaTylandi but for which that State would
nave been rushed into disunion by her minority
OF desperate secessionists, as Virginia was pre-.
Clplt7ted into revolution by hers. We doubt not
the great mass Of the people Of Missouri will in
less than week be 5s grateful 10 the Government
