Il
Our readers viii recollect that ,Snw days since
We published the "agrcemcnt" between Gener.
ais Harvey and Price, by which it was supposed
Union men would be protected, and freedom Of
speech and freedom to worship God would be
secured in Missouri. DR.. Elliott, of the Central
(st. Louis) Advocate Of May goth, says:
1--WE have presented to our readers this week
as much Missouri news as we could possibly
give; though half Of what came into our pos.
0Qtselves therefore M general outlines.
The city of ST. Louis IS now as quiet as New
England village, and4so ground Of fear now ex.
lists in any breast. The reason Is, that the flag
OF the Union now waves everywhere, and the
Palmetto ensign Of rebellion, and the signal for
all misrule, anarchy, perjury, theft and robbery,
has by General Governing power been pulled
down. The army of the ~ stripes surrounds
the city. Still there arc DE very cautiously
muttering revolt, with suppressed indications.
The public services of the NJ E. Church are
now generally suspended in whole or in part
throughout the State. The mob violence under
- ION rule for few Xesks past, has been

hrst and principal duty, and a prelude to W
expulsion OF all Union men.
The arrangement between Gen. Harvey and
our rebellious Governor, thus far, has answered
no other purpose taan to give encouragement
to rebellion, and the temporary truce, in its OPP
GRAFTON, especially at Jefferson City, would seem
to be a mere ambush in order to eXtirpate I'm
ionism out of the Capitol first, and then out of
the State. From private letter dated Jeffer-
son City, May "a, we copy the following, which
corroborates other information from that place:
'Things are in worse condition here now
than they were before the arrangement as agreed
upon by Price and Harvey. Gov Jackson has
repudiated He said the troops should not go
home. 1t appears also that they are on the pur
suit of a certain Union man who saw it to tell
the truth on them, threatening to hang him
(they say) in order to give Gen. Harvey cause
to go up there From this it is inferred that they
are anxious to meet him in conflict. The writer
regards the arrangement" entered into as a
mere scheme to put things off until they could
get ready for their diabolical work.
Troops are still arriving, which does not look
much like disbanding, and Union men are in
more danger than ever 1t see us also that they
have pique at the M. E. Church there, and in
stead of repairing damages take pleasure in de-
molishing what appears to be left. So much for
secession. Rebels not to be trusted"
At the rate in which Union men are now dr-
ven out OF MISSOURI, Il rev weeks VIII leaVe II
much thlnned outside of st. Louis and some 9TH
er places.
Still the Union forces of Kansas, Illinois and
Iowa are at hand, and if Gen. Harvey looks on
little longer, we doubt not but some one else
who will act will take his place. Or the spon-
taneous uprising of Union men in the adjoining
States and Missouri, may be driven to do the
work themselves outside the regular authority of
the United States. The raids between Missouri
and Kansas are too recent to be forgotten. We
deplore this. We trust it will not be so. And
yet so far, the present movements look that
way Who can have confidence in the profess
sions of Gov. Jackson and his partys Yet we
have no fears that Missouri win ultimately be
driven out of the Union. This cannot be-"
