A CALL FROM MISSOURI.

n Shbb hOh hlOONOhls
FELLOW. CITIZENS OF THE FREE STATES: Placed
on an advanced post of liberty in the present
struggle for the maintenance of our Govern
ment, we have, in obedience TO the call of our
President, organized the four regiments of vol
unteers from Missouri. AS citizens Of a State
whose first executive is, as you well know, OPP
posed to the Government Of the United States,
we, as a matter of course, cannot expect support
from him or the State Government, for further
ing the purposes Of our Federal Government =
We are, therefore, compelled to appeal to the
sympathies of our fellow-citizens 10 the Free
States, who have with unprecedented unanimity
come to the support Of our Government for the
necessary means of providing our first equipment
Many OF our men are destitute Of the means to
purchase the necessary uniform, blankets, &c.
Having no claim on our General Government
until after three months service, we appeal to
the sympathy of our Union loving fellow citizens
in the Free States for the necessary assistance
and support, fully satisfied that part Of that
patriotic liberality 80 freely shown to their own
volunteers will not be withheld from US. An
ticipating such sympathy, we will strain every
nerve to uphold the authority of our Federal
Government in this remote and important post
of the great West, against treason and rebel
lion, in order that the wishes Of the patriots and
Union. loving men of this country may soon be
fulfilled, and that rebellion be forever crushed,
and the cause of right and justice be triumphant
| over treason and secession.
Gov. Gustavus Kerner, OF Belleville, ILL.,, has
kindly consented to act for US as receiver and
disburser; and, without consultation, we feel al
liberty to ask Isaac Sherman, Esq, and Sigis-
mund Kaufman, Esq Of the city OF New York,
Evans Rogers, Esq,, Of Philadelphia, and Judge
Thomas Russell, OF Boston, to act In our behalf
