Rnish the eigreprsssible conflict" As 10 our
people, there Is not so much excitement as |
think there Is at the North. Every male
from is 10 60 is enrolled for the war THIS
week our neighboFs over the river, needing
some more arms, quietly took possession CT
the old U. s. Arsenal, some % miles above
this, and got 8 1900 stand Of small arms, 80
cannon of various sizes, 100000 pounds OF
powder, and all the other necessari.s OF war
in proportion. Down below US, in Arkansas,
our friends took Fort Smith, and got $780,
600 worth Of ammunition and arms, What
we are going TO do in the war it Is not
proper that / should say, even if I knew.
AS to myself ! am q member of our mill
tary organization, and expect to continue so
until there shall either be no use for such a
thing In the South, or ] am killed.
AS 70 my coming North in these trouble
some times, ] have no disposition 10 do so il
l conld; but il / we're 70 60 there now
would most likely be hanged in less than q
week. But | have something to do here by
way Of sustaining my friends in the time o.
their trouble, and | shall be the last to desert
them unless ! shall have better cause than
desire to rob my neighbors Of their property,
and destroy an unOfendipg people, or to b
with the accused government OF the North
Is is unpleasant to speak of things which
make me know that my mother and brother
desires to see the Abolitionists of the Nortl
prevail, even though it were to sacrifice tn
whole South, myself included. | will clos
this subject.

"that all incorporated universities, colleges

hereby authorized to establish, in connection
with their several institutions, amilitary pro-

military discipline and the art Of war" 1t

will, there is a step in the right direction,
which we hope will be followed by 9TH

The position of our State is truly depIora-
Bile. Commerce andtrade annihiated-eredit
trembling in the balance-confdence in the
future of Missouri destroyed, and bankruptcy
staring us in the facs-all ia consequence Of
feeding, fostering and encouraging the most
unholy and indefensible rebellion that ever
raised its impious head. And here stands
our State, hesitatlng between loyalty and
treason, and about to arm the m~ilitia-or the
disloyal portion Of it@to oppose the General
Government and we learn, is about to invade
the sacred precincts of the school fund to get
money for that purpose. CAN THIS BE SO 2
Can it be possible that the Bank of Missouri,
q part of whose stock constitutes the school
mnd of Missouri, is aiding this nefarious BUSH
ness? And are our youth to be turned loose
in the street, and go uneducated, that the
State may be put in a condition of rebellion
at the biddins of an inscriptions GOVERNOR
If Missouri inanciering is come to that; if
our capitalists and bankers are to be made
the weapon Of their otcn destruction, in Heav-
ems name, let every honest man solemnly
protest against the use of one dollar of the
school fund for any such purpose. We are
fully aware that this arming business is the
last dodge of secession, and if that fails, trea-
son will soon be at a discount in Missouri
But we have one hope left. If the Banks are
foolish enough to furnish the money, the
arms cannot be bought in any market in this

WRsrERN VIRGINIANs.-A delegation Of
Western ViFglniAns arrived here or Wednes-
day evening, to call npon the Government
for arms and other assistance, in defending
their liberties against the Richmond usuFpers.
Their idea is understood to be, the formation
of a provisional government Tor Western
Virginia, and its separation from the tide
water region, but this idea must have for its
basis the supposition that the secession of the
Underwater region from the Union will be
contaminated. As that secession is not TO be
allowed, it is not TO be supposed that Con-
gress will allow the division of Virginia into
two States.
In the actual state of the case, the West
ern Virginians must organize a provisional
government having, in law and IN fact, alb
dicsted, by selling out to foreign censpirators.
A provisional government, SO formed, would
be the only legitimate State authority exist
ing in Virginia, and would furnish the nu-
cleus Of a healthy organization of the people,
by which the Richmond usurpers and traitor;
could either be driven into exile, or brought
to condign punishment WGshingtOn( D. O.,

DEAR MOTHER T: " =
In relation to the contents of the rest of your
letter, permit me to say that l appreciate the
motives which induced you to write me con-
corning the troubles of America, and your
advice to me concerning my course in this
war. l had continued to hope that when
Lincoln invaded the South with his mercen-
airy Northern horde, my brother would not
be found in the ranks of his army. But
that hope has been dispeHed, and I regret it
more than words can tell, because | feel that
he is not only taking the side of a mill
tary despot and afoeto liberty, but is waging
a war upon a people who have never injured
him or any Of his people. You remark that
lie tfs willing to risk his life in the defence
of his country" How be or you, or any
one else in the North, could believe for a
moment that the Southern States was his or
your country, / cannot conceive. And what
Is still more. surprising, is that the people of
the North should be so insane as to try TO pre-
serve the old defunct Union by the force OF
arms, and call out $4,000 men to accomplish
it. Let him make levy of 5000, 600 men
at once, and arm and equip them, and calcu-
late to keep them in service until they get
gray headed, if any Of them should live so
long, and then It would be the height of folly
to talk of s~ubjugating the South. Why, we
don't want any better generals than July and
/ August to subdue his little $4,000 men,
Why, Missouri alone can put 25O,O 900 men in
the field, and, if necessary, she will defend
the South. Virginia alone can furnish a
million of fighting men-and talk of con
quering the South.
We out here in Missouri do not intend to
wage any war upon any one. But Mr.. Lin
coin can never, peacefully at least, pass over
our State with an armed force under any
pretext whatever. And in a sort time this
State viii be out of the Union too. and then
l suppose Lincoln viii want TO Try us in
battle. lam glad to hear that preparations
are being so vigorously made up North, be-
cause ! would like to have this generation

Of ~disloyalty land rightly enough too from
previous demonstrations seen here) but the
p~artizan is now fully sunk in the patriot. Sc
cessionism and Secessionists find no quarter
here. Every man suspected of sympathy for
the South is waited upon and asked to show
his colors. The Stars and Stripes come out
every time. The people are wild with en-
thusissm and excitement. The air is rent
with huzzas for the Union, the Constitution
and the Laws. Every able bodied man is
willing to bear arms if called upon now
Senator Douglas has turned the current here
nightly. Many of the HSuckers" are Just
spoiling for afght. Ten companies, with
from 80 to 100 nen each, from ~Egyptalone,
have gone to Camp Yates, and full thirty more
