Missouri.

The news from MISSOURI continues to be so
conflicting, it is impossible to place much
credit in it. The St. Louis papers, the prin-
cipal channels of information, evidently
publish great many sensation items without
inquiry as to 3heir correctness The Herald
of Saturday issued an extra in which it was
stated that the State troops had surrounded
Gen. LYON at Springfield, and cut off his
train of supplies of ammunition and provi-
sionS-that SEIGEL was in faver of retreating
towards Oceois, and that he and Gen. LYON
differing, personal alteration ensued, LY-
on striking him with his sword and receiving
pistol shot in return. On the other hand,
the Republican denies the truth of these state
ments- but says startling news may be ex-
pected from Springfield. 1t says "LYON has
6,OOO well drilled troops, a large amount of
cavalry, thirty or forty pieces of artillery,
plenty of ammunition and 2 900 or 5000
Home Guards" A report was in circulation
here yesterday that Gen. Polk had received
at Memphis advices of the capture Of Gen.
LYON and all his forces, 5000 in number,
bot we have received no confirmation of the
report. If it were well founded, it would no
doubt have been telegraFhed here. We have
every confidence, however, in the result
when battle takes place between Lyon and
the Southern troops. If he is not vanquished
now, we believe be will be ere long.

BY the Governor Of Tennessee-A
Proclamation.

WHEREAS, by the act OF the General Assem-
bly, passed May 9th, 1861, it is made the duty
of the Governor s'to raise, organize. and
equip, provisional force of 6fty-fve thou
sand volunteers, twenty-five thousand of
whom, or any less number which the wants
of the service may demand, shall be fitted for
the field at the earliest practicable moment,
and the remainder of which shall be held in
reserve, ready to march at short notice." and
organized, armed, equipped, and fitted for the
field has been transferred to the service of the
Confederate States; and whereas, the Presi-
dent and Congress of the United States have
been deaf to the promptings of justice, and
Notwithstanding their troops have been in
gloriously defeated in their plans of subjuga-
ton by the intrepid valor of the South, have
appropriated immense amounts of money and
are bringing into the field large additional
ornaments to effect their purpose of over
riding and trampling upon the rights and
liberties of our people;
Now therefore, 1, Isham G. Harris. Cover
nor of the State of Tennessee, by virtue of
the authority in me vested by the above re-
cited act, do issue this, my proclamation, APP
pealing to the patriotism of the people, to
raise, organize, and thoroughly prepare re-
serve force of thirty thousand volunteers, to
be styled "the Reserve Corps of Tennessee"
which shall be organized into companies, bat
talions, regiments and brigades, and muster
ed into the service of the State and held
ready to march at short notice, but not put
on pay or subsistence, or withdrawn from
their ordinary vocations until the necessity
for actual service shall arise, when they will
be ordered out on duty and placed on the
same footing OF the other twelve months vol
unteers. Officers will be appointed to visit
the respective counties, in whichcompanies
may be raised and organized, aud muster
them into service, after they shall have re-
ported themselves by companies to the Ad-
jutant- General. When thus mustered into
service they will be required to drill by COM
panies at least once week, and by Battal-
ions and Regiments as often as once month,
and when on duty, will be subject to the
rules and articles of war.
,~ In witness whereofI have hereunto
LIS. set my hand and caused the great
49, seal of the State to be affixed at the
Executive Office, in Nashville this, the 9TH
day of August, 1861.

LETTER FROM DR.. LNDsLEY. :

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. 6, I561.-Dedr Ma
dam: Having examined carefully into the
condition of things here | can now give you
reliable information as to the way OF doing
good.
the good ladies of Nashville and its vicinity,
and how often these calls will yet be repeat
ed. am anxious that no useless tax should
be laid upon them.
Friends here inform me that the Army
Committee Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION is an efficient and responsible agent
for the distribution Of supplies and donations
forwarded to the sick and wounded soldiers
of Virginia. This Society is thoroughly or
ganized, composed of business men, aud is
central to the whole field of operations. The
articles wanted are sheets, pillow cases. fan
net undershirts, linen or cotton shirts, DC.
There is no need of spending money for ar
ticIes of clothing, as old ones not much need
ed in families will answer very well.
There is a great need of wine Port espe-
ciaIlv) and brapdies, for the sick. Here is an
opportunity for the rich and luxurious OF our
city and county to make their cellars contri-
hnte vastly 10 the welfare of those brave men
who, venturing their lives In the defence OF
their country, are now languishiug in horri-
HE pain and suffering. 1 doubt not that ma
nv gentlemen will respond to an appeal from
YOUR society in this behalf.
Many articles OF food are needed, but these
are furnished by the ladies of Virginia, who,
throughout the State, are nobly doing their
duty.
Religious books and tracts, particularly
Testaments and Hymn Books, are in great de
mand, not only for the sick, but for the well.
III ali the religious families in and around
Nashville would contribute such religious
books as they could readily spare, several
large boxes would soon be made up, and
proye most acceptable here.
When we remember that there are nearly
or quite one hundred and eighty thousand
Southern soldiers in Virginia, many of them
wounded and sick, and perhaps thousands
more TO be sick and wounded speedily, and
that all this vast army has been hastily or
Uanized, and that, tseYsy Government
Itself lust oaganized, we cannot be surprised
thar there is abundant room for private ben
evoIent exertion and pressing demand for
ali individual contributions
NAV add that this committee always sends
unoIies forwarded to them from State TO
he troops OF that State In preference to
others.
Truly, &C., yours. ]. B. LISssLEY.

our army may demand. By such an arrange
ment the society is enabled to give the full
est assurance to all friends of the cause in
all parts of the State, that their donations
will reach the desired destination and be
most judiciously distributed. We have also
the pleasure to announce thas the ''Young

thereby greatly increasing its numbers
Letters were read from DIR. J. B. LINDSEY
and ROGER MARTIN, Esq, of Richmond, Vir-
ginia, setting forth the wants OF the sick and
wounded soldiers, and indicating how these
necessities can be supplied. The letter OF
DIR. LINDSEY, addressed to the President of
the society, we give below:
On motion, it was resolved to prepare and

ES- 1t has been well said that the secret
of accommodating fortune consists not so
much in making money as it does In saving
what we make. How foolish is it then, to
render ourselves constantly liable to lose in
one hour all we have made by years OF la
Dor, and that too simply by neglecting TO
call at the Office of W. J. MARI, No. 25 Col
lege street, and secure Insurance in some re-
liable Southern company, which he furnishes
on the most liberal terms. aug11-tf.

The Military and Financial Board of this
State, impressed with the necessity of prepar-
ing to protect the patriotic volunteers now
in the service from the rigors of the ap
preaching winter, appeals to the wives, moth
ers and daughters of Tennessee to manufac-
TUE wollen goods and stockings for those
who are defending their homes and protect
ing them from the horrors of armed occupa-
ton of our soil.
1t is suggested that each lady in Tennessee

and knit two pairs of stockings If this shall
be done, every soldier will be amply clothed
and provided against the sufferings of a win
ter's campaign.
Shall this appeal be made in vain? 1t is
by undivided exertion alone, that our
wants can be supplied.
