ST.. Louis. June l1th.-The following
proclamation from Gov Jackson was re-
ceived to-day
JEFFERSON CRY. June l2th.-TO tie IeO-
pie Of Missouri "A series OF unprovoked
and unparalleled outrages have been in
fiictel upon the peace and dignity of this
Common wealth, and upon the rights and
liberties Of its people, by wicked and I'M
principled men, protesting to act under the
authority of the United States. The SOL
emn enactments of your Legislature have
been nullifed; your volunteer soldiers have
been taken prisoners; your commerce with
your sister States has been suspended; your
trade with your own fellow citizens has
been and is subjected to the harrassing con-
troll of an armed soldery; peaceful citizens
have been imprisoned; inOtfending men,
women, and children, have been ruthlessly
shot down and murdered; and unbearable in
dignites have been heaped upon your State
and yourselves To all these outrages aud
iudignities you have submitted with patri
otto forbearauce, which has only encouraged
the perpetrators OF these grievo0s wrongs
to attempt still holder aud more daring
usurpations. 1t has been my earnest en-
deavor. under all these embarrassing CiTcum-
stances, 10 maintain the peace eff the State,
and to avert if possible from our borders
the desolatinE effects Of civil war. With that
object in view, | authorized Maj. Gen'l
Price several weeks ago to arrange with
Geul Harvey commanding the federal
forces in this State, terms of agreement by
which the peace of the State might be pre-
served. They came on the 2lst of May to
an understanding, which was made public.

" to carry out the terms of that agreement.
The Federal Government on the other hand
not only manifested its strong disapproba-
ton of it by the instant dismissal Of
the distinguished officer, who, on its
part, entered into it. but it at once
began, and has unremittingly carried ont a
system of hostile operations, in utter con-
tempt of that agreement, and il reckless dis
regard OF its own plighted faith. These
acts have latterly portended revolution and
civil war so Enthusiastically, that | have re-
solved to make one further effort 10 avert
these dangers from You. l therefore solic-
tied an interview with Brigadier General
Lyon, commanding the Federal army in
Missouri 10 was granted, and on the 10th
inst waving all questions of personal or
official dignity, I went to St. Louis accom-
panied 10y Gen. Price. We had an inter-
view on the IIth inst, with General Lyon
and Col. T. p. Bais, jr- at which | sf6TniI-
ted to them this proposition, that would
dsband the State Guard and break up its
organizat5ou that I would disstm all COM
panies which had been armed by the State
that would tPesge myself not to organize
militia under tke.militia bill; that no arms
or munitions of war should be brought into
the State 4hat | would protect all citizens
equally in all their rights, regard ess of their
political opinions that | would repress all
insurrectionary movements within the State;
/ that | would repel all attempts to invade
it, from whatever quarter. aud by whoever
