proper to declare publicly that they have
this day had a personal interview in this

resting and important to every citizen of
Mo-: that of restoring peace and good
order to the people of the State in sub
ordination to the General and the State

authorized power, as it is the termination
of the proper authority to suppress all I'M
lawful proceedings. + 4 We
the undersigned therefore do mutually en-
join upon the people of the State to at
tend to their civil business of whatsoever
sort it may be, and it is to be hoped that

WM. S. HARVEY,
Brighten U S A.
New York, 2st.-A special dispatch to
the Herald from Hagerstown Dist, says
reports are to the effect that great dis
affection exists among the troops at Har-
pers Ferry on account of the ~existance of
several factions, one favors the annexa-
ton of Va to the Confederate States, one
the unconditional separate independence
of Va, and the third unconditional Union.
Soldiers of both of the last two classes
refuse to take the oath of allegiance to
the Confederate States. The people of
Sharpsburg Is miles southeast of the road
to Harpers Ferry swear that no more
soldiers Of the Confederate States arm
shall pass through their town.
The Tribune says yesterday by a bold
stroke the government obtained possess
sion of most invaluable documentary evil
dence against the sympathizers with trea-
son in the North. At a given time the
officers of the law visited every consider
able telegraph Office in the free States,
selzlng the manuscripts of the dispatches
for a year past. The government can
now trace the secret operation of the
rebels and their aiders and abettors, and
henceforth hold the northern enemies to
the republic at its mercy.
The Tribune's Washington correspon-
dent says it is understood Gen Butler has
orders TO proceed at once to active move
ments in Va. and viii directly remove the
distractions in Norfolk harbor.
Gov Letcher has met with a loss, he
had made for his study accurate military
maps of Va, which having been finished
at Washington were on their way to
the Governor were seized by order of the
war department.
A special dispatch from Harpers Ferry
via Fredericksburg to the Times saws g.
600 Mississipians arrived there to-day
ane 2 regiments from Ala. Yesterday.
The small pox had broken out among the
troops there.
A special from Chambersburg to the
Herald says a reliable Union man living
in Maryland says he was at Harpers
Ferry Friday night and saw Is Indians
IN n squad but did not see more. He
believes the soldiers are being scattered
over Berkeley, Jefferson, Loudon, Frede-
rick and Clark counties to carry them for
secession. The adjourned meeting of the
Wheeling Convention, June 4th, will be
attended by delegates from counties west
OF the mountains, and the convention will
be urged to declare the conduct of the
authorities Of Va ~usurpalions of power
and the actors rebels and traitors. In
stead of dividing the State the policy will
be proposed of forming a provisional gov
eminent for the whole State and an cleo
ton will be proposed of a governor and
State officers.
ST. LOUIS, May %, A. M.
The treaty entered into yesterday be-
tween Gen Price on the part Of the State
and Gen Harvey on the part Of the Gen.

parties. The understanding between the
two governments seems to be to the effect
hat The public peace throughout the State
shall be preserved, either party doing
nothing to irritate the other. In order 10
more effectually bring this about the laws
passed by the Legislature in secret ses-
