Dastardly Attempt to Blow up Railroad Troin

.
RoLLA, Mo-, August 29.-The correspondent
of the st. Louis Democrat furnishes the follow.
ing intelligence:
An attempt was made yesterday to blow up
the train due here at $50 this afternoon.
As the train reached point eight miles east
of here, an explosion took place beneath the
locomotive, covering it with dirt and gravel,
and slightly woundng the engineer.
On backing the train to the side track, it was
discovered that II keg of powder had been
buried beneath the rails, which was exploded
in some unaccountable manner, when the en-.
gine passed over it.
Tho explosion occurred on an embank ment
over twenty ieet high, and had its force been
spent in an upward direction instead late rally
AS was the case, tho train would doubtless have
been thrown from the track, and several lives
lost.
company Of cavalry sent down the railroad
t" rccOnnoitre last night, found several rails
torn up in II deep cut near jamestown, and
fired upon three suspicious characters on the
track close by, but with what result is not
known.

..souri.

LEXINGTON, August 20.-The rebels, encour.
aged by exaggerated reports of the battle near
Springfield, are congregating in large numbers
in this and the surrounding counties, and com.
mitting all kinds of outrages upon Union men
and their property.
If they are allowed to overrun Lafayette,
Ray, and other such counties in this part of
the State, AS they are now doing, they will steal
enough from Union men TO subsst their army
for months.
In view Of this condition of things, assistance
has been asked of Gen. Fremont. The Home
Guard still occupy the Notifications, and can
probably hold the place, but re.enfOrcements
are needed to operate against parties engaged
in ravaging the country.
Prominent Union men are daily threatened
with death. Ex-Governor King, OF Ray county,
has been frequently warned but his devotion
to the Union cause Is unshaken, and he and his
sons are ready to shoulder their muskets.

Keep to the Right as the Law Directs

In II time like this, when the whole popula.
tion pours into Pennsylvania avenue, we would
simply Call attention to persons promenadmg
our pavoments the necessity of keeping to the
right. By persons observing this rule, every
body will be enabled to keep on their journey,
without interrupting others, or being turned
aside themselves, simply because they OBJ.
serve the law, "keep to the right"
The convenience of this rule Is so obvious
that We should scarcely think it required any
urging to make it invariably adopted, did we
not know that II great many persons act in
most common affairs without any ruIe at all, or
any idea that the act is governed by rule.

Tho Board CT Commissioners met yesterday

lit being IA compromise between the two re.
ports which was adopted:
ResOiUed, That all that part of the county of
Washington lying east of the Eastern Branch
