From Our Own Correspondent.

Gov. jackson, having ootalueu through hiehu, 'ie
assurance Of Gen. Lyon that he would be safe until 'ho
18th TODAY visited this city yesterday, and had an
interview with Gen. Lyon and Col. Blair. The pro-
fessed object of the consultation on the part OF Gov
Jackson was TO make some arrangement whereby the
public peace might be preserved, without keeping the
whole State in constant suspense and uncertainty De-
tween hope and fear Both parties agreed that TINS
was desirable but when they came TO talk over details
they were rs wide apart Lloyd Garrison and IL. '"
Spratt on the moiaity of Slavery. The Governor
wished the Federal troops kept IN 1T. Louis, anu
the United States Reserve Home Guard-or-
ganiGed by authority of the War department
di.banded and on his part he guaranteed Cessation Oh
all further efforts organize the State troops under the
odous military BILL the protection OF Union men every
where in Missouri and the exercise OF all the power at
his command to prevent any ourages on loyal citizens
Gen. Lyon declined 10 accede to tins demand. Inc
most that the Federal authorities would pledge them
selves to do was TO cooperate with the State auihor'
ties in enforcing the laws Of the United States and OF
the State where the latter are in conflict with the
former and TO assist the local officers in protecting the
property and lives OF all law abiding citizens without
distinction of party 1t properly represented that
to disarm the reserves would invite laessntss Gen
LYON offered TO become responsible for their conduct,
and in event hey committed any ouirages to punish
them severely 1t is needless to repeat wha; the eic
graph has already told you. The interview ended in
smoke, and matters stand precisely where they md
before the parties met.
Gen. Price was the nouthpiece Of the Governor
throughout the interview. The latter official kept ST.
lent nearly all the time lasted and apparently Gid
not wish To connect himself personally 10 anything.
One fact came out however, which goes to vindeate
Cen Uarpey and fix eternal disgrace upon Gen. Price.
Pending the negotiation the subject Of the Military bill
nassed at the late secrc. session Of the Legislature
up Price was reproached for the activity OF the Ell
forts 10 organize the State Guard under that bin con-
,rary TO the agreement, made with Gen. Harvey. Price
denied that he led had any understanding with Harvey
in regard TO suspendng the organization OF the State
Guard under TINT bill. He went thus f's, when
General LYON produced an original memorandum
in the handwriting Of Gen. Harvey, with th, lndorse-
ment: "Read to Gen Price, in the presence Of Maj H.
g. Turner on the 2ist of May" s memorandum stated
that the only terms upon which Gen. Harvey would
Item 10 NEGOTIATION. were the unconditional reogni
ton Of the military biz az nanty and the admission
that WIS autsgonsc 10 the laws and Con1iiulion oi
the United Siyof. The current Of the memoFsn-
DUN was that Gen. Harney required Gen. PIce TO
give up all pre,ensions Of organizing Stale GuArd
under tina; bill The reading OF this document proved
a cold bath for Price He sat tranffxed in he chair
like statue ard the rsres in the room there were
two friends on each aide presen all agree that Price
was a convicted falsiier and proved 1t by his looks.
The breaking M took place in few minutes, and al
D. H. the Governor and Gen. Price iooS thsr elaIthh
for Jefferson by special train
There is great relief felt by the public ut large tla,
the Governor failed 70 entrap Gen. Lyon into any
agreement Al all. Tie failure OF the miserable patch
work arranged by Harvey and Price has created ds-
tract in any agreements or trucer. What the
Secessioss are striving for in this State Is % commit
the Federal auihories 10 iaacfloa! While thus Idle

are double-dycd traitors, and If the capture OF Camp
jackson had been followed by prompt movement on
Jefferson City proof enough TO hang score OF them
would have been found The consciousness Of gnilt
led them at that time to bum Iackages Of traitorons
letters, and since then the evidences have been re-
moved AZ Ear as possible hom reach.
The traitora however are cosely watched. The L.
s. District Attorney reported 10 have issued war
rants for the arrest Of q notorious traitor from 81.
