ST.. LOUIS, June Is, 1861.
While Gen. Harvey strictly observing the
stipuations with the traitors the latter were organizing
under the notorious military BILL And now that every
thing Caib. jackson secretly do, has been done,
the traitors ask another interview with the United
States authorities, with professions Of disposition to
arrange still m re satisfactory basis for permanent
peace. This was granted by Col. Blair and Gen.
Lyon and a safe-coDduct furnished Messrs. jackson
snd Price TO visit St. Louis and return TO Jefferson
City The latter parties arrived by special train at
10 o'clock on Monday night. On Tuesday Gen. Lyon
was notified by the Governor of his presence in the
city and Of bis desire for an interview. The General
invited the Governor TO the Arsenal, and offered an
escort. The Governor did not relish visiting that
famous spot and invited the General TO the Planters
House. This latter request was complied with, and
Gen Lyon and Col. Blair took carriage at the
Arsenal and, unattended proceeded 70 the Planters
House. The arrival of the parties at the Hotel was
accompanied with quite popular demonstration;
but the friends of the Union were Overwhelmingly IN
the ascendant for some friends, hearing OF the con-
tempated visit, and learning Of an unusual
number OF people around the hotel, visited the head
quarters OF the American Zouaves, Fifth street,
