Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune1
ST. LOUIS, Aug s, 1861.
Gan. Fremont and staff returned to the city
yesterday, on the City Of Alton, and immedi-
ately proceeded to his headquarters and re-
Bumed energetic preparations tor crushing out
the rebellion In this state, as well .as to drive
ous the Tennessee invaders, headed by Gen.
l.
lngnees to accept every man who offers his
services, mud where theY are enrolled to the
number Of twenty in any portion of Illinois,
the Government will pay for their passage to
st. Louis.
The return OF Gsu. Fremont does not look
as if there would be any active movement
| against New Madrid very soon. It is not be
| Ieyed in this city that the rebels intend to
attack Birds Point at all !; and if they seem to
prepare for it, the general opinion among
those who are acquainted with the country Is
that 1t will be merely feint to cover an at
! tack on Cape Giardeau- II the rebels had
steamboats, at Cape Girardean, they might
approach within i've miles Of St. Louis win
out molestation. Care will be taken by Gen.
Fremont, it is believed, to prevent the rebals
ever passing above Cape Girardeau..
| Gen. Pillows absurd proclamation has occa-
stoned no terror here. The invasion of the
State by the Tennessee troops, is regarded as
| the last hope Of the BecessionistB. Upon this
they have been depending for months If it
tails now, they are forever .nndone., In one
respect the proclamation Of Gen. Pillow will
| have good effect. It makes the blood boil
OF men whose sympathies are with the Gov
| eminent, bnt Who5r interests are with the
South, and hence their position is neutral. 4
vast majority OF these men By their inaetion
might inst as well be secessicnists, but NOW
they talk Union strong, and on the evening
| after the proclamation was received, over an
| hundred joined the new regiments Of .. S.
Reserves now forming. Upon one thing you
may depend, Gen. Pillow will never get within
an hundred miles Of either ST. Louis or Jetfer-
! SGD City. There are thousands Who5e busi-
| MISS and whose families de1nand their constant
| presence, ready and willing to shoulder 9
| ni2Ek6t, and go in armed array against the ia-
vaders whenever the present forces proys in
| adequate. They are not lacking in patriotism
| because they do net now enlist, but they wil
rslly when it is evident their services are alb
so1nte1y needed.
Gov. Gamble, it is expected, will soon issue
proclamation calling upon MisEoarians to as
semh1e for the purpose of repesling invasion.
Under a call for State troops to serve for q
cannot enlist for three years Gov. Gamble
ores it to the Union men of the State to drive
the invaders from the soil Of Missouri He
owes it to the United States Government. At
present His Ezcel1ency is engaged in trying to
nnye'l some Of the hidden mysteries Of tae
! 10 ascertainiug the true ,condl;iGn OF affairz
preparatory to d vigorous pcl'cy to FTP -csa
the uprising of secession doctrines. An 1nyi
,ation to loyal citizens to assist the United
States in repelliug invasion By rebel troops
would, no doubt, be promptly responded to
ana every consideration Of public policy in
peratiTely demands 1t.
