wounds
The reports Of McCulloch's departure
for Arkansas, with the larger. portion of
bis forces, are confirmed. There are but
about 500 men at Springfield. They are
desolating the entire country. 1t was the
general Impression at Springfield that Pill
low had taken Cairo and Birds Point, and
that Price had full possession of Rolla and
Jefferson. Some Of those who arrived
had passes taking them through the con-
federate lines to St. Louis.
Gen. Price is at Osceola. Ills force is

presence the possibility of Rains defeat,
but said he would not believe it until he
had received more authentic reports.

STATE kIGHTs.--In recent Washing

Does 1t ever occur to YOU that the
Southern leaders have surrendered their
favorite theory of State Rights In at
tempting to establish a new Confederacv.
they have murdered the very theories on
which 1t has been erected State Rights,
Practically carried out, means a number
Of petty sovereigntics, irresponsible and
powerless. The rebels know that they
must have strong Government or no Co.
vernment at all. They must control the
masses with heavy hand--they cannot
tolerate dissentient sentiment, and If
they are not unanimous IN civil matters,
the sword must bring the people to one
mind When this rebellion first dawned,
there were any number of counsels in the
South--there We're Union men in every
state outside Of South Carolina-and nu-
merous communities were almost in arms
for the Union. Look at East Tennessee |.
Can any one think, for moment, that the
people who supported Andrew johnson
30 jealousy have so suddenly accepted the
yoke of jefferson Davis And all through
the South other illustrations Of this fearful
tyranny may be found. What the South
must have if succeeds, is a consolidated
monarchical Government.
