From Mkbelrl- -FIisht Of n Family from
Cole CountytrTerrOr among the Country
People There-The Mothers Story.
Yesterday morning q woman named Ce-
lima Hand, with O family of six children,
one an infant, arrived at the depot of the
Pacific Railroad, and stating TO the citizens
that she was fugitive from the country,
and without means OF friends in the city,
was shown to the public lodging-house on
Chestnut street. She bore note from an
officer at Jefferson City, limiting the circum-
stances of her coming here and requesting
that she be passed at the Government ex-
pense to Rock Island County, Illinois. The
woman and her daughter, q sensible and
candid. looking girl of sixteen, tell the fol
lowing story; For some months past they
have been living on piece Of land in Cole
County, about twelve miles from Jefferson
City. The husband, on the breaking out of
the civil war, joined a company of Illinois
Home Guards, now stationed in Rock Island
County.
For some weeks past the family and their
neiPhborhood, have been in a state of great
trepidation on account of rumors of the vio-
lence and outrages committed by the Seces-
sion forces in neighborhoods not very re-
mote from their residence in Coles County (;
that every day last week their alarm was
increased by the constant passing of wagons
and carriages conveying the families of far
mers toward Jefferson City. Later in the
week, their story is that there was regular
stampede of fugitives for Illinois and Iowa,
Report reached Mrs. Hands ears that Seces-
sion violence was coming close to her neigh
borheod, the light of burning houses could
| be seen, and the story was that Jackson's g
army was on its way to Jefferson City. She
| then set out with her family to walk to
Jefferson City, but was permitted to ride
most of the way in the wagons of the trav.
elers, who overlook her. At jefferson, she
states that an oficer--Colonel Richardson
! furnished the family with rations and lodg.
ings, and had them passed to st. Louis ovei
the Pacific road.

Melancholy Condition of the Rebels.


The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press states:
There is late intelligence from Richmond
to the effect that the conspirators are sur
rounded with factions, and covered with the
clouds of despair. While it is not doubted
they have intelligence of most of our move
ments, and that recent events have given
them something of a prestige, they are so
conscious of their own weakness, and of
their own poverty, and so well convinced of
the awful preparations of the national Gov
ernment, that their only escape from utter
defeat is by making a rapid and combined
attack upon this Capital. This. they are
wise enough to see, if successful, would
give them an enormous advantage, and Jet,
If they should fail, it would be the grand
coup de grace of their whole conspiracy. The
obstacles in their way however, are obstacles
of nature, of finance, and of party politics.
1t must be recollected that the railroad net
uniting Manassas, Acquia Creek and Win
chester with Richmand, made them inde-
pendent of these means of transportation
which will be indispensable when they ad
vance upon Washington. That they are
comparatively without means of transporta.
ton and substance, is notorious. Next
comes the question of money, with all the
attendant horrors growing out of the rapidly
contracting DlOckuue Vi Iner MnVle OoaSb'
Finally, the division among the leading
spirits of the Secession cabal. Wigfal and
Davis have had terrible quarrel, and Gov
ernor Brown, of Georgia, has denounced this
selfconstitured President aud his evident
intention to establish monarchy, on the
basis of the Southern Confederacy. The
jealousy of Virginia by South Carolina, the
rivaly between Montgomery and Richmond,
and the undisguised displeasure at the ex
actions and tyrannies of Davis by such mer
as Zollicoffer, of Tennessee, A. Gallatir
Brown, of Mississippi, and Fitzpatrick, o
Alabama, are all evidences of the growing
weakness of a movement originally corrupt
and revolutionary.

Missouri AwAKING-The People Want
Arms and Are Getting Them.-From every

expressed to beat back the rebels at all haz,
spectators while the rebels were on the
Southern side of Springfield, are orgc 1izing
and drilling, and nothing is now wanted but
arms to put thousands of Missourians in the
field, determined to defeat the rebels or die.
Thousands will be here ere many days, thou
sands who have been driven from their

homes of their own accord.
Arms for a complete regiment of civilians
left here yesterday for Jefferson City. A
similar quantity for similar purpose left for

DIRECT FROM GEoRGIA.-The Chicago E0en-
ING Journal of Tuesday says
By gentleman who left Savannah, Ga,
last Wednesday, we learn that the most de-
plorable state of affairs exists in that section.
A reign of terror, worse than that of the
French Revolution, hangs over the people
like sable pail. Spies and informers have
but to indicate an individual against whom
they have a personal hate, and the secret
clubs forthwith ostracise or hang him.
A poor German, against whom one of the
Golden Circle had a spite, was inforTed
against for selling to negro bottH Of
whisky, and he was ordered to leave in
twelve hours. Not obeying, he was seized
and hung in front of the Pulaski House, in
the presence Of two thousand spectators, on
Tuesday last.
British subjects are impressed into the
rebel service. Forced leVies are made upon
them, and British Oonsuls are not recognized,
as they are accredited to the United States.
The reign Of terror is supreme.
Our Informant is an Englishman, and
reached this city by way of Nashville, last
evening.

GENERAL LYON was man of true moral
courage. He never would recognize the
code Of the duelist. 1t is said he was once
struck in the face, but refrained on religious
principle from challenging his adversary.
This subjected him for a time TO the contempt
of his fellow officers; but long before his
death they learned to understand aud respect
his position on this subject. No one now
can doubt his bravery.

The Concert.

xI10 concert. @ p 'fs = q s- .@7
Engagements which we could not conyc-
niently waive, prevented our acceptance of
Prof. Carpenters polite invitation to attend
his Concert on Saturday evening last. AN
acquaintance who has taste for the close
observance of such display furnishes the
following notice. Music is not our "forte''
but as our correspondent is on adept at it
we accept his description as correct If the
concluding passage Of the criticism should
appear little caustic the Professor and
M " can smoke cigar over it and make
it all right:

PROFESSOR CARPENTERS CONCERT came
off on Saturday night at the Brick church,
to o very good, and Gas the Doctor would
say "appreciative audience. Sitting in
the church from till gave ample time to
study over the programme Of SO separate
pieces besides suspicion that "pieces not
on the bill will be performed" The time
that the Prof has been here is about two
weeks, and the material that he had were
residents. While sitting, waiting, and
studying tho bill. the idea occurred that
either there was very little time given to
rudimcnts, or very little to rehearsals, or
that our McGrcgor folks arc prodigies in
music. A fee concert is public property
and the singers being friends the singing
was anxiously watched by friendly ears
As the class stepped on the platform quite
number were noticed who were proficcnts

"Red, White and Blue" sung by FRANK
HAMMER, showed him to possess very
superior voice as wei. as intuitive pcrccp.
ton of expression. His performance called
out undauntci applause.
Undoubtedly the most artistic and best
executed songs were "Coming through the

If more of our young ladies would apply
