THE CITY QUIET-THE Q. 8: REGULARS ON
L. WALNUT STREET.
With uuspeakable relief thousands Of our
readers viii learn that yesterday passed on
quietly In st. Louis. The lately aroused 2ss-
sions Of men seemed Inclined to repose- Per
cepub1y, there was legs 1erceness and tumult,
and more Of humanity In the general express
sion and tone. It Is exceedingly to be hoped
that forbearaace and genl&lity will soon ze-
sume universal sway. At present, however,
the minds Of many are deeply ag1tated an
goaded By the events Of last week. But We
not only speak the better but speak tha more
popular sentiment, when We Ehy-Let III have

Walnut street, between Third and Fourth
streets, Was much thronged By spectators who
had come to see Gen. Harney's four hundred

Since their arrival the previous evening with
their four pieces OF artillery, the regulars lad

in the Union sentiment. This felicitous effect
was not at all diminished by the open mouth

:THE LATE CAMP AT LTNDELL'R GROVE.
The number Of troops lately at Lindel's
Grove waa stated by us at come eleven hun
dred and fifty. We were charged with having
done Injustice by this estimate, and were as
sured that the numbers were little less than
eighteen hundred. At the capture on Friday,
many Of the troops were doubtless absent on
1urlough in the city. Not atew wereeeep, be-
fore the camp was quite environed, to seize
and mount horses and gallop away. Others
tore off their regimentals and thus escaped -
pnuniformed citizens. At the Arsenal, the
entire number Of the men OF the camp was si9
hundred dnd shirty-nins, and fifty officers.
Some twelve or fifteen were released during
the march, upon representations that their
friends had been shot, ard on promise to re.
port themselves at the Arsenal next day. Half
adozen kept the pledge by calling at the Ar
aenal gate, whence, alter patiently waiting q
considerable time for admission, they proper
