SEDALIA, Nov. 20.--The following is General
Prices proclamation, issued at Neosho, but
bearing no date:
FellOiu Cuieens-In the month Of June last
was called to the command of handful OF
Missourians, who nobly gave up home and com.
fort to espouse, in that gloomy hour, the cause
Of your bleeding country, struggling with the
most causeless and cruel despotism known
among civilized men. When peace and protec-
tion could no longer be enjoyed but at the price
of honor and liberty, your Chief Magistrate
called for fifty thousand men to drive the ruth
less invader from soil made fruitful by your
labors and consecrated by your homes. To that
call less than i've thousand responded out of a
male population exceeding two hundred thous-.
and. One in forty only stepped forward to de-
fend with their persons and their lives the care
of liberty and human right. Some allowances
are to be made on the score Of the want of mil
itary organization, o supposed want Of arms,
the necessary retreat OF the army southwark,
the blockade of the river and the presence OF
an armed and organized foe.
But nearly elk months have now elapsed.
Your crops have been titled, your harvests have
been reaped, your preparations for winter have
been made. The army of Missouri organized
and equipped has fought Its way to the river
The foe is still In the field; the country bleeds
and our people groan under the inhictions of 0
foe marked with all the characteristics of bar
barian warfare, and where now are the Fifty

country Had fifty thousand men focked to
our standard with their shot guns In their hands,
there would not now be Federal hirelings In the
State to pollute our soil. Instead Of ruined
communities, starving families and desolated
districts, we should have had O people blessed
with protection and with stores to supply the
wants and necessities and comforts of life.
Where are these fifty thousand men7 Are
Missourians no longer true to themaelves7 Are
they timid, time-serving, craven race, ft only
for subjectlon to despot7 Awake, my coun'
trymen, to q sense OF what constitutes the dig
nifty and true greatness Of people. A few
men have fought your battles; q few men have
dared the dangers OF the battle field; q few
have borne the hardships Of the camp--the
scorching sun Of GUNNER and frost of winter,
the malaria of the swamps, the privations incl
dent to our circumstances and hunger
and thirst, often without blankets, without shoes
With insufficient clothing, with the cold wei
earth for bed, the aky for covering, and Z
stone for pillow--glad only TO meet the enc.

devotion known among men on earth to the
cause Of your country and your rights, with
their lives. But where one has been lost In The
field three have been lost By disease induced b

A Coon ANSWER "A correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph wants to know
what 1t thinks Of the removal Of General Free
mont. The Telegraph replies:
We think that 1t was done by the Legitimate
authority, and considering the threats that were
thrown out about the probable mutiny Of hie
army In case of his removal, that it is good
proof that we have Government. II there ID
any faction that wishes to make IL pretext iol
deaerting the cause OF the Government, we are
satisfied to see its members tle to him. They
would have proved false to the Union cause al
any rate, and might have chosen o more dan
gerous way OF snoring their treachery, than
BY adhefing to an incompetent officer.
