BLOCKADE OF SOUTHERN PORTS
Twenty-eight Vessels thus far Captured.

SPRINGFIELD, May 81.
The Governor to-day madea selection OF
six out of the ten regiments called into
State service, to be mustered into the Unit
ed States service for three years, 1t is I'M.
derstood that these six will be ordered into
rendezvous at Decatur, Springfield and
Jacksonville. These stations of rendezvous
are selected solely with the reference to fa-
cility in moving troops at an hours notice
either West or South.
Capt. Rasse Pitcher, United States Ar
my, is here arranging preliminaries. Well
informed men, generally, entertain suspi.
cions that there will be no movement of
troops from or upon Cairo, for some months
to come.
CAIRO, May 81.
Capt. John Rogers, United States Navy,
arrived under orders from the Government,
which though as yet have not been divulg-
ed. 1t is supposed he will take the COM
mand of the fleet of gun-boats, offered by
Messrs. Sturgis & Prindeville, of Chicago,
soon expected here.
1t is limited, moreover, that he will pro-
vide means for the conveyance of troops
down the river.
The Government, failing to agree upon
terms of purchase, has condemned the dis
tillery of AFTER & Harroll's, and will pay
damages at leisure. The work of demolition
commenced this afternoon, and the building
will be removed at once. On its site the
proposed Notifications are to be erected.
An invoice of heavy guns, shipped from
Pittsburgh, was received at headquarters,
and will be here in few days. They con-
sist of three "a Founders, including 200
balls with all other appurtenances.
The country back of Cairo was recon.
noitred by engineers and scouting parties
as far as Villa Ridge, where Col. WAL
lace command is stationed, and found it
less swampy than expected. Topographic.
cal features noted for future use.
WASHINGTON, May 81.
Twenty eight vessels have already been
captured by the blockading feet at vari-
Gus points according to advices at the
Navy Department.
Washington is still full of prominent
men, from all parts of the country, Offering
men, ships and money to the Government.
Immense quantities of ammunition and
provisions continue to arrive here.
1000 more troops have arrived since
last night.

change and 500 in silver and gold. In

renee, and show to what extent the business
men of this city are effected. One promi'
nent merchant here has $75, 900 in stump
tail, taken at par, and which is now worth
only fifty cents on the dollar.
There is no other news here of special
interest. People just now are more engrossed
in "stumptai" than in the war, and the
events elsewhere transporting excite only a
secondary interest. Newsboys are selling
more currency lists than newspapers; in
fact, they are coming money out of this new
excitement. The health of Senator Doug
las is reported to be slowly improving.
SAXON.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-05-31

From the st. Louis Democrat, 2sd.
The terms of the negotiation concluded
yesterday between Gen Harvey on the part
of the United States, and Gen. Sterling
Price on the part of the authorities at jeff
erson City, are such as will give satisfac.
ton to all but traitors. The organized
secessionsts, or State troops, as they are
improperly called, are to be disbanded i'm
mediately. Freedom of speech and the
protection of Union men in their lives,
property and privileges is guaranteed. The
granting that protection, whenever they are
called upon to do so by the civil power.
The secession programme, it will be seen,
is thus definitely abandoned. No attempt
will be made to divert the interest fund
its legitimate course.
We must congratulate the Governor at
last upon the recovery of little common
sense. In renoulcing the disunion project
be has done we'll, though the chief credit is
due to an memorable necessity. We con-
graduate the conservative citizens of the
State on the restoration of order and tran
guilty. Accused be the hand that shall
first be raised to violate the peace which
was proclaimed yesterday. We are aware
that the sincerity of Gov. jackson is freely
questioned on the streets ; that the dupicity
which distinguishes him as politician i'm
parts doubtful hue to his most solemn
promises. But it would profit him nothing
to practice deceptive diplomacy in this case.
The U. S. troops which are now here will
probably be retained here, growing more
formidable from their daily drilling.
Should jackson violate, either openly or
clandestinely, the pledges be has given, be
would thereby forfeit the support, moral
and physical, of every class except that of
the incorrigible traitors and conspirators,
and incur speedy and terrible punishment.
Such is, in brief terms, the view we take of
the memorable transaction of yesterday.
Let US, in conclusion, congratulate Gen.
Harvey, Gen. Lyon, Col. Blair, and their
companions in arms, upon having conquer
ed peace which keeps Missouri in the
Union.

Query 20. Will the State Superintendent issue

Query 20. Will the State Superintendent issue
q license to teachers
Answer. The law does not authorize him.
Query Fl. Can district, if they desire, act
under the old law?
Answer. No. The old law is repealed and has
no force.
Query %. Can money in the County Treasury
belonging to an old school district, be used or
drawn for the benefit of the district to which it
was exclusively apportioned
Answer. The law says that all moneys to the
credit of old school districts now sub.districts,
shall be paid over to the sub-districts to be
applied to their indebtedness. See section AZ.
Query %. Are the school books selected for
the State by the Normal Board of Instruction,
obligatory and binding?
Answer. They are. They are to be used by
every teacher, and it is the duty of the super
intendent of every district to see that the law
is enforced. In no other way can parents be
saved the expense incident to constant
change of the text books, and uniformity be
attained. E. D. NELL.

The following note accompanied frag-
ments of bombshell sent to the Editor of
the Boston Transcript, as taken from the
Citadel of Messina, after its bombardment
and capture by the forces of Victor EN-
anuel:
Two pieces of bombshells, which 1
brought from the Citadel, after the bonn
bardment had ceased. The larger piece I
found in the centre fort, and know nothing
remarkable connected with its history.
The smaller piece l found in the fortress
known by the name of Don Blasco. The
company attached to this point, were driven
to their quarters-a large arched apart
ment in the basement-by the first fire of
their enemy.
The shell, of which this small piece is
part, came in at the corner of q window,
tearing away the easement and a portion
of the wall, passed across the room and
entered the opposite wall, which was of
brick and mortar, to the depth of thirty.
three inches, where it exploded, tearing
away the whole of the wall upon one side
of the point of entrance, and leaving half
section of the hole it cut, still remaining,
smooth in the wall, into which inserted
my cane, and took the measure given above
with tape measure.
The shell also caused the death of five
men, as one of the company informed me,
and taking me across the apartment to
bench, he directed my attention to the blood
where the men were laid. He assured me
that no other lives were lost at the citadel
during the bombardment. Looking at the
mass of brick and mortar which this shell
scattered about, it seemed remarkable that
out Of whole company in the apartment,
at the moment, only fus should have been
killed.
This damage done to the citadel, by IL
mortars and 81 riaed cannon, in five hours
and quarter, is perfectly incredible. Had
they kept up such work for eight and forty
hours, the whole institution would, think,
have been demolished, and the threat of Ci-
aldini, to blow them all into another world,
fulfilled.
