this evening. The main business portion
Of the town. consisting Of one large block,
and several smaller. ones. was IN flames
when the gentleman left. The town be.

all the residences escaped. The Quarter.

were located in the large block, 'bnt q

members of Capt. Dsvid's company.
were on their way home from St. Jo-

were surrounded BY number Of armed
secessionists. who, after cross-qusstioning
and severely threatening them, attempted
to compel them to take an oath not to
fight sgainst the Southern Confederacy.
Upon their refusal to do 30. the two men
were detained as prisoners. and might
have been kept for some time, had they
not effected release BY means of russ.

when be hears Of it. will give himself no
concern on the subject. The troops have
no time to devote to traitors there are

b A Bio HAuL.-A party Of some TWEEN.
ty Jayhawkers crossed over into Nilsson
ri, on Friday night last. and returned
early on Saturday morning. with about
thirty 6ne horses and mules, which they
had taken from secessionists east of Ore
gon. The lot included several valuable
stations. Among the traitors who were
"cleaned ont" were Hiram Upton. Bob
Foster. Squire Griffith, Judge Ish, H. N.
Belt, and one Taylor. They made the
richest haul from Belt-having taken
from him about one-third Of the animals,
and the most valuable ones. including an
$500 stallion. They even took the coat
OF Of his backl Two side.saddles ig-
ursd among the booty. In the afternoon,
. portion of the Home Guard company
stationed at Iowa Point went in chase Of
the Jsyhawkers. but didn't catch them.

psrformed in peaceable times. it would
hsus been called horse stealing on .

T,ibune's Correspondenee:-Lord Lyons
has not behaved like diplomatist since
the news that Mason and Slidell were on
the way to Fort Monroe. Although
necessarily silent in an official capacity,
lupofficially he is almost impertinent in
conversation. He assumes there can be
no question between his government and
ours. for the reason that the Unitei States
must yield to the point In controversy and
dissvow the act Of Captain Wilkes, and
must return Mason and Slidell to the
bosom of the only power which seems
heartily to desire the dismem berment oi
this republic. '1,''' - -.
Edward Everett. Edward II. Stanton.
and Reverdy johnson, have expressed the
opinion that our right to take and keep
Mason and Slidell is unquestionable.
Herald's Dispatch says without wait
ing to ascertain how far the act Of Capt.
Wilkes is justifiable BY the acknowledged
established principles ofinternational law.
some foreign Ministers have allowed them
selves to be betrayed into expressions ex.
hibiting infinitely more passion and pre-
'judiee than judgment and diplomacy war

openly declared il Mason and Slidell had
