the Untonists Of that State. Property and
life we're never more unsafe. Almost every !
county is infested by rowing bands Of gueEil-
las; ard the events Of the war and the depre- |
dations Of the armies, by bankrupting men,
add daily TO the number of desperate charac.
tiers who live by pillage. Hon. James s. Rol- |
Ins, Willard 2. Hall, and Robert Wilson, the |
three NEST prominent Unionists Of North
virtual fugit'ves from home-theH lives and
the lives Of their friends being Threatened by
the gangs Of secesEloniEts that roam the State.
An Efficient organization Of Home Guards is
needed for each county, as the National army
gives 70 protection except where it is person
ally present. The immediate object Of Gov.
Candles visit is to obtain aid from the Gov
crIment in afming and equipping the forty
thousand militia authorized to be raised By
the Legislature Of the State. The mi1itia will

| men under Lyon, and afterwards enlisting for
| the war They fought at Lexington, where
Rear1y one half Of the regiment were taken
prisoners, ard their commanding officer, Lieut..
Colonel Grover, was severely wounded, and
few days since he died. The prisoners we're
! dismissed BY Gen. Price On parole. But their
| homes had been deEpoled and their famues
| driven off by the rebels, because they were in
the Union service and the men themselves
have never received dollar Of pay
from the Government, because Of the 1rregu-
| larity Of their entering the service, Per-
haps there was q failure to swear them in.
These men are now peuniless, and the!r fami-
iies are now yerging On starvation. That the
regiment served their country faithfully, there
srsme n he no doubt. and their csse aDpeals
gfrcnplv to the Government for Immediate

raymaster should be detailed from 1T. Louis
to visit these men In then respecttVe cou9ttes
