How THE Civil WAR GOES ON IN MIS-
souRI.-We published an account Of
the hanging of Capt. Benjamin Sharp
and Lieut!S aeger, near Martinsburg. on
the North Missouri Railroad, by the
rebels. We have now the awful retri-
button visited upon the perpetrators Of
the foul deed.
Sharp and his companion were hung
on Friday. On Saturday morning a
body of Col. Smiths Zouaves went to
Danville and arrested four citizens who
were concerned in the transaction
Taking them TO the outskirts Of the
town they made them get down upon
their knees, and shot them while in that
position. Their bodies were then car
ried back to their families by their
neighbors, some of whom had been
brought along for the purpose. The
names of The men shot were Granville
Nunley, Robert Terrill, lawyer, and
formerly editor of the Dsnville Herald,
and man named Hughes. and his son.
Nunley was not Immediately killed, but
received ball through his breast, from
which he died soon after being taken
home. The others fell dead, receiving
each several balls in the body. The
same day two men were shot near Mex.
leo, under the following circumstances:
Captain Smith, commanding a compa-
ny of cavalry, learned that half dozen
of the men implicated in the hang
ing of Sharp and Jaeger were in house
about three miles from town. They
Immediately started to capture them,
and while approaching the house,
woman standing at the gate gave the
alarm to the rebels, who were inside
eating dinner. They Immediately
mounted their horses and attempted to
escape, when the cavalry pursued and
fired upon them, killing two, one of
whom was Captain Moultrie, of a rebel
company from Mexico. The rest es-
capped.

God of Nations! hear the vow
Which we offer to Thee now,
Neverl while an arm can save,
Or one heart beats true and brave,

Nor ask why, but do or die,
Ayel defend thee to the death.

By the lives of patriots won,
By the deeds of valor done,
By the blood that heroes shed,
Who are now our sacred dead,
We'll defend thee Well defend thee
Defend thee to the death,
Nor ask why, but do or die,
Aye! defend thee to the death.
By the deathless laurels won
On the field of Lexington,
By the bleeding limbs that froze
Mid the Valley FOrge's SHOWS,
By such glorious battle scenes,
AS illumined New Orleans.
Well defend theel We'n defend theel
Defend thee to the death,

From the hand that e'er should dare,
OFF thine azure pluck one star,
Or would ever seek to wipe
From thy glorious folds stripe,
Well defend thee! Well defend thee.

For our land by freemen trod,
For the altars of our God,
