ARMY LETTERS have been unu-
sually favored with letters from the seat Of
war, for which our thanks are due to the
writers. We offer few suggestions to
such letter writer's 1t is unnecessary that
you speak in sef-praise, as Others will do
that for you, provided you are entitled to
praise. The habit Of writing praises of
officers, and thus ffattering them, can be
excused, as such is the practice, though
none but vain officers care anything about
such things. 1t is also unnecessary to
write what is published in the newspapers,as
it is copied into home papers. Let your
letters inform the public concerning the
health and comfort, the trials and acct
dents, the pleasures and pastiInes, the no-
bic efforts Of men in camp to resist
evil, &c. If men are sick, wounded or
suffering by accident, give their names; if
adventures are related, give the names; in
short, tell all which your readers may want
to know, briefly but substantially. Advise
a. 10 your ?, Q. address, and how 'etters
should be addressed Tell about the reb-
els and all about their conduct, but always
truly. Let your letters be plain in man
ner cheerful and joyful, with now and then
an anecdote. Your letters are souoht for
by everybody; you would now rejoice to
know how many, how anxious are your adj
mirers, and how pleased all are to read
your letters in the Herald. We act as a
police over letters before printing them, by
marking out what we conceive may injule
the writers or those of whom they write,
or the cause in which they are serving. II
is therefore safe to write US letters for pub

time they fired about 500 shots in the
unoffending crowd. So far it appears
that 3S citizens were killed. .and there
is no telling how many We're wound
ed.
The greatest confusion and excite
ment now prevails here. If the citi-
zens had any arms at all, they would
soon take the city and drive out the
black republicans, who are all Ger
mans. The city of St. Louis and the
State, except the Germans, are ripe
for secession-mOre so now than ever;
but they have no arms at all. In the
southern part secession ticgs float
every where.
1t is now reported that the black
republican troops are going to Jeffer-
son city to take Gov. Jackson prison.
er. l am afraid there is going to be
trouble here, soon.

The Massacre At St. Louis.

The following letter to asentleman
of that city is published in one Of the
New Orleans papers; it gives further
particulars OF the brutal and inhu-
man massacre:
ST.. LOUIS, May IL.

and had no difficulty in passing Cal
ro. There are about 500 republican
troops there, nearly ali Germans. l
saw onl y five pieces OF small cannon.
The water ut Cairo is not high, so
that cutting the levee AT that point
would do no harm. The Cairo troops
have no uniforns,an are dressed bad
ly, just as they were when picked up
in the streets They are badly arm
ed and not drilled. They are hard
and dirty looking set of vagabonds.
a few days ago, the Governor OF
Missouri ordered a military encamp-
ment" near the city for week, .'tor
military instruction" Accordingly.
some 500 Missouri State troops held
their encampment some two miles
west of the city, under the United
States flag. OF the 500, only about
500 were armed, and these had but a
few rounds of shot. They had also
three cannon, and were commanded
by Gen. Frost. They We're having
a quiet time of it out at their camp,
expecting nothing, when yesterday
at 2 o'clock, L. M., they were sur
rounded very suddenly by 5000 Uni
ted States troops, all Germans, well
armed, with twenty cannon, etc, and
led on by the celebrated black repub-
lican Blair. They We're ordered to
surrender Internationally, which they
We're obliged to do. under the circum-
stances. They We're all taken priso-
ners and marched to the Arsenal be-
low the city, where they are still held
AS prisoners of war. Mr.. Blair Of
tered to release them. if they would
take the oath not to fight against The
United States, bur they all refused to
take any such oath.
The taking of this camp crpstea
the greatest excitement IN 81. i..u.r.
