GEN. LYONS BODY GUARD The New
York Times correspondent 10 Missouri gives
US the following account OF this singular
guard:
One OF the principal features Of the march
are Gen. Lyon and his German body guard.
The latter is composed Of ten athletic St.
Louis butchers. each mounted on powerful
horse and armed with heavy cavalry sword
and pair OF navy revolvers each wears Il
light bat turned up on the left side, and
decorated with white ostrich plume. AL.
most any time Gen. Lyon, ccOmpanied by
half a dozen OF these savage looking fellows,
may be seen sporting along the line, or u
small squad Of them, or singly gsllopiug
fiersely to the front or rear, or straight out
into the open country. If the Geueral goes
into house a half dozen OF them will be seen
10 front staoding like iron statues at the
brides of their horses-if he SECURE along iu
advance of the train the clanking OF their
long sabres is heard beside him-stop where
he will. there may bs always seen q stoiiC
squad OF white puued boIsemen awaiting
patiently his movements. They are fearless
riGers-jump fences on a dead run, leaI
bitches. gallop down steep descents, and, il
fact, never ride less fast than their horses
Gao run. unless compelled by some urgeD
necessity. Independent Of their duty as bod.
guards. they oct as messengers, scouts, &c
and 10 consequence, have plenty TO do. The
ars commanded by o Lieuteopnt; and from
their appearance and daring horse manshiI
will, II occasion demands. whips dozen time
their weight 10 chivalry.

rrr RETURNED voLusTEEas.

The return Of the men composing the
SECOND and eth Pennsylvania regiments has
given rise to many cOnjeciures and specula
tions, since the result Of the battle of Bull
Ruo, olike injcrious and unjust to the gallant
men who compose those two organizations.
They did not anticipate fight. Many Of the
uen were assured that q fgh. would not
occur in which it would be possible to part.
cipate, for considerable leDgth Of time.
With this view aud assurance, the men con-
ciuded to come home, where, after seeing
their friends. they W. uld enlist for the war,
organize under new auspices, as well as more
popular aud efficient officers. In connection
with these facts, there ere other clrcumstun.
c-s which must not be held back from the
public, but winch should 90 on the record
now, as part of the history of the disaster at
Bull kun. Gen Patterso0 made but q lone
appeal to the men of the second regiment,
telling them. 10 fact. that they had a right to
go, that be would be pleased if they would
remain, but that if be were 10 their position,
he woula exercise the right they possessed
and return home. Geo. Patterson even
travelled out Of the way TO inform these men
that he did not affiliate with or approve Of
the action of the administration in waging
this conflict, and that be had in conlemp mplatou
d resolve himself to resign. This assertion
was repeated to us Substantially in the SAINT

Patterson indulged in the expressions, unC
who could cot be mistaken 10 their spirit o.

we read the manly, patriotic, and truly
Southern message Of Gov Claiborne T.

triumph over tie Court House at Lexing
ton, Missouri, located as it is IN one Of the
strongest Union counties ID that Empire
State of the West. HalloWed as the asso-
Citations of that city are to us, this patriotic
action of her refined and intelligent people
is another incident to attract our affections,
and link us as by hooks of steel to her sa-
cred and lovely surroundings All hail

Important Fact

We wish it to he Dor in mind by the
people that every vot' cast en- the 4th
Thursday in this month against the Ordih-
ance of Secession is an invitation to Lin
coin to march his army Of cut-throats and
robbers into and through Virginia Every
man who does not ratify by his vote the ac-
ton of the Convention uniting Virginia
with the Southern States, declares himself
in favor of the North against Virginia and
the South We are sure no Virginian
would willingly place himself in that posi-
ton. Heuce we call the thoughtful and
solemn consideration and attention of the
people to the weighty Importance of the
vote they may cast on the 4th Thursday III
this month. 4 cote ayuinst the Ordinance
is treason to Virginia we call Upon tho
loyal men of the State aid especially Au
gusta and Highland counties. to engage
in removing any misrepresentation oa the
minds Of the people in regard to this vital
question See to it that every man votes
understandingly. We want to hear Of no
. Unioh'' votes. They will be regarded
as an endorsement Of Lincoln's policy to
overrun and devastate our homes and heri-
tage, aud MAKO Virginia the booty Of a
hireling soldiery.
