7rH REeMEST.
We learn from Captain Wizeman, now on
leave of absence from Camp Dennison, that
the 9TH Regiment received their uniforms
yesterday. He also reports that matters are
going on smoothly at Camp, and that all are
well satisfied and in good spirits.
We have been permitted to publish the
following extract from letter received by g
young gentlemen of this city from friend
in st. Louis;
81. LOUIS, May "a, '6l.
You have seen by the papers the account
of the troubles here, but you cannot under
stand from those reports just how matters
were, and it would be too long q story to ex-
plain minutely.
The truth is our Governor is miserable
traitOryAnd although elected as a Union man,
was determined to take the State out of the
Union. The Union men wAs determined
he should not, and they organized to pre-
vent it.
The capture Of Camp Jackson saved the
City and the State, and glory in having
been one in the army that did it.
Although we did not have to fight we ex-
pected to, and knew they had cannon, shells,
and verything else needful which had been
ssnt them from the South.
The only thing regret is that one com
pany were obliged to FIRE into The mob and
some innocent persons were killed, but they
stood all kinds Of abuse, and even were
stoned, and it was not until one Of their men
was shot dead and their Captain shot in the
leg (which has since been smputated) that
they fired.
1t was the same on Saturday: they did not
fire until one Of their men vas killed by q
pistol shot.
Three weeks ago my brother joined Frank
Blair's Regiment, and was sworn in for
three months actiYe service.
Two weeks ago I Joined the Sd Regiment
of Reserve Home Guards, and was sworn in
for three menths, liable TO be called on at
any time we are wanted. Brother is at the
Arsenal. The Reserve Is stationed IN the
city and we have to be at the armory every
night and stand guard "a hours every week;
other days we can attend to business except
when our services ara needed, as they were
at Camp jackson, and for two days after,
when we expected aa attack on our Armory,
and staid there to receive the traitors.
They did not attempt It however, but con-
soled themselves by shooting down men
when they caught them alone.
8 Living as you do, in Union city, where
there are no secessionists, you can not un-
derstand our position, where to be a Union
man, was to run the risk Of being shot
down as we we're here for few days. The
spite against the Home Guards was even
more intense than against the other volun
tesrs.
However, the decided measures taken By
our officers, has at last scared the traitors,
and Gov. jackson sent the Commander Of
his forces down here to beg for peace, al
though he (fhe GOTernor) is the very man
who has caused all the trouble.
He agreed 70 disband his forces, but then
we hear that the forces refuse 10 disband,
and there may be trouble yet, for the Union
men are determined to keep the State in the
Union at any cost. The Secession forces,
about 1000 strong, ct are Jefferson City.
We have about 5000 volunteers here, all
raised in this city in spite Of Gov. jackson,
and ready to fight and die if need be, for the
Star spangled Banner.
There is large number of secsssionists
in st. Louis, although they keep pretty quiet
now. They say they viii have revenge on
the Union men yet.
Our business has been very good for the
Last three weeks, as we mako flags and
other articles used by the military.
We have received orders from the country
for Secession fagu, but refuse to make them
ct any price.
Il is hard work for me to be away from
