Important from Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, July 13.

C1. hOClo, y ul y Io.
Captain Smith from Springfield or
Thursday, arrived here tonight. He
reports a messenger arrived there that
morning, with intelligence that Gen
Lyons command would reach there that
day. The entire Federal force, and four
thousand Home Guards, under J ohm s.
Phelps, were concentrating at Spring,
field.
The last heard from the State forces
they were in Neosho, gcing South, COM
munication being open with Arkansas in
consequence of Colonel Sigel's falling
back on Mount Vernon. A large num-
Der of Arkansas troops were engaged
against S1gel in the battle near Carthage.
The Federal loss was ten killed, forty
three wounded, and four missing. The
rebels state their loss at seven hundred
killed.
The guard of one hundred and twenty
men, left at Neosho by Col. Sigel, pre-
vious to the battle, were AIKEN prisoners
by large force of Arkansas troops
A proposition was made to shoot them,
but finally they were released on oath
not to bear arms against the Southern
Confederacy.

HUNTING A MASTER,

The leaders of the Secession move
ment are soreiy in want of a Prince to
rule over them. They are in the condi-
ton Of the fellow who excited the Com
niseration of the well-fed slave "Poor
devil, y said Cuffec, Hhe's got no master. -
The leaders Of the conspiracy would all
like to be Princes, but jealousy will not
allow any one Of themselves to assume
the purple. They are therefore in
earnest hunt for sprig Of Royalty in
Europe, who will rule them all and deal
out titles and Offices in the manner of
the Old World Despotisms. They could
then receive the coveted title of "My
Lord from the poor whites as they
now do that Of master" from the slave
Russell, the celebrated correspondent
of the London Times, who has just been
through the South, and was feasted and
feted by the oligarchy, writes home to
England, that the desire was everywhere
expressed that they could secure a
''Prince of the Royal blood of England
to rule TIE countryl' He says this is
the sentiment, not only in the Camp
but on the plantations. But as there
were insuperable obstacles to the accept
ance Of such Il crown by any of the
Royal blood of England, they seem to
have turned their attention to Fran
The latest arrivals from Europe bring
the intelligence that the Commissioners
of the Southern Confederacy are III
earnest negotiation with Napoleon to
furnish them a master in the person of
some ofhis relatives! Whether they will
succeed any better there than in England
remains to be seen.
A few years ago our chivalry would
have made their first application to the
Emperor of Russia But Russia has
recently emancipated her own slaves,
and would hardly consent to become
the master Of JEFF. Davis & Co. Per
haps the Sultan of Turkey might take
compassion on their homeless condition
and consent to be their master. If not
their case is hopeless.
But we do not suppose it is so much
foreign Prince they want, as it is the
aid of some strong foreign power to as
sist them in the overthrow of their
country. Such is the unreasonins ha-
tired of these disappointed demagogues,
that they would sell their country into
the clutches of foreign despotism,
rather than see it peaceful, prosperous
and happy under the Administration of
those elected by the free sutfrages OF
the people.

Devils, doing. by inIirection, what the
nobler and more manly wing Of their
fraternity are attempting by open war.
In confirmation of this, We have
clipped from more than twenty papers
recently, and many of them published
, in Ohio, articles which prove far more
than We have stated. But this article
is too long already, and we will give, in
other columns, and in the future, some
Of the articles referred to.
But we repeat that this is no sectional
war. 1t is emphatically war of prin-
ciples, and men in both sections repre-
sent the same ideas. And as a compro-
misc between the ideas is an impossi
bility, the conflict, like that between
truth and falsehood, and right and
wrong generally, is an irrepressible one
CONGRESS.
The business of Congress is-progress-
ing rapidly, and with good degree of
harmony. On the 10th inst, the House
passed bill for the collection of the
revenue on ship board, in the ports Of
the rebel States. 1t is an exact copy of
the la passed at the instance of Gen.
Jackson, in the days of South Carolina
notification, some thirty years ago
But eminently proper as are the pro-
visions of the bill, and indorsed as it
was by Jackson and the Democracy of
his day, it found two determined oppo-
nents from Ohio. From one of them,
Vallandigham, nothing better could
have been expected. He scarcely dis
guises his completely with the traitors.
But there is some surprise expressed at
the other, Pendleton, of Cincinnati
This precious pair, with the notorious
gambler, Ben Wood, of New York, and
VOORHEES,, of Indiana, aud Robinson, of
Illinois, making five, were all that could
be mustered against it from the nine
teen Free States. Five notorious Sc
cessionists from Kentucky and Missouri
voted with them!
1t is mortifying to the true and loyal
State Of Ohio, to have it to go to the
world, that when the whole nineteen
Free States can produce but fre such
votes, the Buckley State should furnish
two of them! Vallandigham is promi
nent candidate for Governor in October
next! If he should get the nomination,
how many of the Democrats Of Meigs
County would vote for him? Not many,
we hope. But time will tell.

Both the United States Senators from
Virginia, being open traitors and en-
gagged with the conspirators against the
Government in armed rebellion, their
seats have been declared vacant. The
new Union Legislature now sitting in
Wheeling, have just elected Hon. j. S.
Carlils, to fill the place Of r. NJ. I. Hun

men. The Administration has fully
recognized the Union Legislature and
State Government Of Virginia, recently
inaugurated by the loyal citizens, as the
legitimate Government of the State
The Governor and Legislature Of Fir-

the Southern Confederacy, the loyal
men of that State had no resource left,
but to treat the Offices as vacant, and
proceed to fill them. This they have
done, and Virginia now has true Union
Government, which is acknowledge as
such by the United States. And 1t 1oIl

New Mode of Warfare.

The public have become so familiar
with the use of poison, and other means
of assassination resorted to by the rebels
that they have ceased to wonder. But
they have struck upon mode of muir
der which never before found hearts de-
praved enough to entertain. 1t is to
seal up the scabs, and virus Of small pox
patients in envelopes, and send them as
letters and packages, directed to U6on
men! In this way it is endeavored to
send the loathsome infection into the
homes of loyal citizens! We think his
tory has no record of a proceeding ap-
preaching this in pure malignity. 1t is
fortunate that treason itself stopped the
mails North, before the Devil instigated
his instruments to this internal villainy!
