TROUBLE IN MISSOURI.

The movements and actions Of prorai.
nent citizens of Missouri indicate that they
contemplate resisting the occupation Of
that State by United States troops. Re.
Gently Gov. Jackson and Gen. Price visit.
ed St. Louis, and held q long conference
with Gen. Lyon and Col. Blair, with view
to come to some understanding in regard
to the exercise Of their respective author
tiles, but separated without arriving at any
satisfactory conclusion. They returned
to Jefferson City, and Immediately there
after burned the bridges between St. Louis
and Jefferson City. The news from St.
Louis indicates that Gen. Lyon is prepa.
ring to act with promptness and vigor.-
O. W Barrett, brother of late Congress
man Barrett, was arrested on the l4th, in
St. Louis, by tho U. s. Marshal, for allie.
ged treason. 1t is said that proofs against
him are strong, and that other prominent
individuals are seriously involved in the
same charge. Gen. Lyon will doubtless
mako Missouri unsafe for traitors.
Later advices inform us that Govern
VI jackson has issued a proclamation call
ing out $4,000 Of he State militia for the
defence Of the State. A rumor is also
current to the effect that the members of
the State Convention had been called to.
gether at Jefferson City, and that On or.
dinance of secession was passed. AS this
has not oeen confirmed by subsequent
news, it is probably incorrect
