Truth from ooneville-McCulloch with 1000
Troops-Jackson with GOO Horse-An Right
in Missouri.
Major General Price, who had sufficiently recov-
cred from his recent illness to resume his active
duties ordered the retirement of the State troops
near Lexington under General Rains, toward the
Arkansas line on Friday morning last. About
$4,000 State troops marched under this order, two
thirds of whom were we'll armed. 1t is now de-
fnitely ascertained that Major Ben McCulloch, with
1900 troops, was encamped on the Missouri bor
der, at Maysville, Arkansas at the southwest cor
ner of the State of Mssouri-who declined to enter
the State except upon the authoritative invitation
of the constituted authorities Of the State of Mis-
souri,.
Major Ben McCuioch had under his escort large
quantity of heavy and light arms of the best variety
known to modern warfare, besides munitions of war
and military stores Of all kinds This statement OF
McCoulloch's position refers to the date of the 10th
ofJune Governor jackson, on the 18th ofJune, with
six hundred mounted men left Bonneville, marching
rapidly in the direction of McCuloch's position
which he would probably reach by the 22d or 23d
of June. 1t is most probable therefore, that well
appointed and well armed force, composed Of Mis-
souri, and Arkansas troops will form in Southwest
Missouri the present week. numbering $4,000 or
10000 men, and the public will very soon be furn
ished with marked and decisive results of this con-
ct involving the preservation ofthe rights and civil
government of the people Of Missouri.
All the State troops marching Southwark from
Lexington had furnished their own supplies, teams
wagons and equipments of all descriptions, and
with rations for two weeks, without depending up
on the State for any Of these supplies. This state
ment is made upon the authority of gentleman
who is personally cognizant of the facts and whose
name would be sufficient voucher in this COM
munity for the truth Of these statements.
One thousand of these troops, armed with Minnie
musketS, are under adorable drill commanded by
Captain Kelly, who has been elected Colonel of the
regiment-St Louis Journal

grand the Governor is reported to
have said: Mr.. Lcgrand . | would

OF the question speedily terminated
the Judges argument in favor of in
augurating rebellion and treason.
When Judge Handy went to Balti-
more as the messenger Of treason on
the part Of Mississippi, he sought to
influence Gov. Hicks by the lavish
use of Mississippi cotton cloqucncc,
but finding his efforts in vain, he jun
ped up from his chair, and stalking
across the room, exclaimed "Final-

cotton is king !" The Governor ex-

The Border State Proposition.

We are often asked, what is the
Border State Proposition, and where
in does it differ from the Crittender
Compromise? We answer: The Crit
tenden Compromise (Which is no com
promise at all has regular slave
code incorporated into it, which is t.
become a part of the Constitution, for
ever establishing and protecting slave
ry south of latitude So 80, both il
our present territory and such as may
be hereafter acquired. Not 50 the
Border State Proposition, which is
substantially as follows
That all north of SO so shall be
forever free, and that south Of that
line neither Congress nor the Terrific
rial Government shall prohibit nor in
any manner interfere with slavery.
and that when new States are formed
they may be admitted with or without
slavery, as the people thereof shall de-
terminc.
Were it stipulated that no foreign
territory shall be acquired nor foreign
State annexed, this proposition might
be worth considering. The slavery
propagandists intend, in any event, to
acquire Cuba, Mexico and Central
America, and no northern man, who
loves freedom better than slavery,
should for moment listen to any
proposition which will again place
this government under the control of
the slave power.

Impunily to Treason.

1t is worthy of notice that all the
outrages committed thus far by the
rebels of the South, have been COM
mitted mainly because they could be
committed with impuuity. The Sc
cessionists assail points and property
left undcfcndcd, not those which the
Government manifcsts q disposition
to defend They seize abandoned forts,
appropriate undefcnded arms, steal
money left in the hands of faithless
guardians, rob unprotected mails, fire
on unarmcd vessels. But they do not
assault Fort Sumpter, simply because
handful of men propose to defend it,.
They do not make their threatened at
tack on Fort Pickcns for the same rca-
son. They had determined on invad-
ing the National Capital, but when
Gen. Scott prepared to receive them
they concluded they would not do it..
They ceased robbing the Carolina
mails when they found that the mails
would be taken from them if they did
not dcsist. So it has been through
out. The federal flag has never been
hauled down where there has been Il
loyal hand to maintain it, nor the fed
cral property seized where the Gov
eminent showed any signs of deter
mination to protect it. 1t is impunity
that emboldcns the traitors

Supar Cane Seed.

The experience of the past few years has
proved that the farmers Of Iowa can produce
Syrup for less than 80 cents per gallon,
which is equal to the imported and Southern
Syrups, which cost twice us much. A good
crop will yield about 300 gallons per acre
Every farmer should raise it for home CON
sumption, and any surplus will meet with Il
ready sale. Formerly a great difficulty has
been TO obtain reliable seed. The subscriber
has a quantity of seed, raised by S. Ilarwood
Esq, in Floyd county. Iowa. which is fully
ripe and is not mixed or hybridizcd with
broom corn. J. W. SMITH.

The AlIamakee County Court House.

Since the adjournment of the Board
of Supervisors, an attempt has been
made to create the impression that
the County was not legally bound to
pay for the Court House, because the
Board voted down the proposition to
issue county orders to the contractors.
Mr.. Hancock, Chairman of the Board
of Supervisors, wrote to Mr.. McGIath-
cry, the legal advisor of the Board,
for his opinion, enclosing him copy
Of the contract and other necessary
papers. The opinion is very clear and
right to the point. He simply declares
what every legal man must know. and
all others who will take the trouble to
inform themselves. Wherever the
County Seat may go, the buildings al
ready erected must be paid for by the
tax payers
