The War in Missouri.

From ali the information we can gather,
there seems to be grounds 10 hope that the
Missourians will yet be able to defend them
selves against the hordes Of Black Republic
cans which have overrun that State. At last
accounts the Governor was marching rapidly
to the extreme Southwestern border Of the
State, and reinforcements in large numbers
were rapidly joining him as he proceeded.
There can be little doubt that Ben McCulloch
is in Arkansa,, in sight of the Missouri line,
with q large army and a heavy stand of arms /;
and that the object of the Governor is to effect
a junction with him and then march back to
meet the enemy. While the great mass OF
the people If the Southwest ave loyal to the
State, there are still many Union men in that
section. Col. Phelps, a Democratic member
Of Congress, is said to lave a regiment Of I'M
ION men ut Springfield and the skirnish al
Cole Camp was betw cen Secessioni>tS and ma
tive UnIonists. Gov. JacksOn's first duty
will be to wipe olt the traitors. and then he
can direct his attention 10 Gen. LYONS He's
slams and Suckers. We earnestly hope that
our afii .cted sister Stale NAV vet be able 70
drive The invaders fIom her soil.

To "lBrgvuLI,S.'-We have given your
communications a close and impartial resding,
as We do all that We have the honor of receiv
ing, and we have concluded TO withhold it
from publication for two rrasons lst. Be
cause We believe that you will ndDit, that the
cause of'your complaint does not n0to exist 4;
and 2ndly. your Article is rather too lengthy
to be inserted with convenience.
We conceive that lberville is acting her
part in q manly aud patriotic manner. The
appropriations of the Police Jury for military
purposes and care of families, are equally as
liberal a. the appropriations OF amajorIIy OF
the parishes. She does not say, like soYf, that
she gives so much for such purposes sum that
sounds large-but she approprIstes to each
company raised, a certain amount, which will
undoubtedly be increased, as in the case Of the
'lbcrville Grsys,"if subsequently it was de
serving of it-and s. 900 to each is not bad
while amounts varyl from $40 to S25 month
~, were appropriated TO the families Of soldier:
who needed assistance. We have not noticed
that any other parish has adopted this method
which we consider a wise and %saldtary one
Iberville has now raised four companies; tire,
of which have left, one is in active service, tw,
will soon be. and the fourth will leave on
town in a few days for the same purpose. So
in patriotism and generosity, "Ibervillian
cannot deny but that Iberville is doing as wei
as her sister parishes. At least, let condemna
ton come from some other source. .m>l
