The Hansrea war IN Ai<xanavin.
Considerable excitement prsvxifed Oh the
street. this forenoon 10 consequences OF . ru-
NOR that tbs Onion men and Secessionists in
AlexaDdria we're engaged in bloody 6ght
around the Court uouse. The occasion OF
the fight, - reported, was the refusal Of the
Secsssionists 70 persist Union Company to
hold meeting in the Court House.
We learn from Mr.. Baxter, who is engaged
10 the Delsa oi6ce, - veil - from other per-
sons who came up from Alexsndria this
morning that there il no foundation what
ever for the Tunor, and that there had been
no Disturbance or exoitemsns in AlexandriA
Or 10 the time Of their leaving, ~ q or o
O'Clock this morning, and that there L. M
-rrctunItrty u EDy hostile collision there,
now or hereafter.
The Hendexvons OF Iowa Troaps.
From scne eause, the wise reasons for
Which have not been revealed for vulgar
comment, the War Department has seen ct
TO change the Rendesvou: OF Iowa Troops
from keokuk TO Darlington. We think the
change has proved unfortunate, and is likely
to be disastrous 10 the hopes OF peace and
quiet Tor the Union men OF Northern Mis-
sour. So lorg 40 troops were stationed at
keokuk, the secessI9nists On the border, and
for City miles down, kept perfectly quiet,
and were u considerable pains to establish
srsputstion for peaceful and loyal DISPOSE
lions. Nov, sinoe she trsops have gone, and
the seceesionists are no longer overswed by
their vicility. tho border counties are swarm-
Ing with armed bands Of ssces onists
threatening the Union men, raising disturb
ances and keeping up . state Of feverish az
element and apprehension.
II Burlington must be favored With . USE
less shOU Of troops, let . few con panies pre-
pared for active service be stationed down
here on the border, either It Keokuk or Alex
andria with a. little delay - possible. An
elective force % disposed would tend greA.-
y TO the preservation Of peace and ultimately
prevent much destruction Of property and
loss OF life. We hope that il our deles asion
10 Congress has not already called the stten-
ticp OF the Department to this matter, they
will make haste to do 10, and thus discharge
their duty and rid themselves Of the respon-
siLility for tho impending calsmities which
are likely 70 result from changing :hs rem.
desvous Of troops 6fsy miles further away
from tho Scene Of action.
- The Cincinnati Enquirer Of Saturday
says: .Gen. Mcclellan yesterday, ordered
Gen. John Pope, It Springfield, 10 proceed
30 Alton, ILL.,, and there assume command OF
the troops: Gen. S. A. Hurlbus, 81 Belvi.
ders, 70 proceed to Quincy and take com
