The WnrIn Missouri.

The news from Missouri, received by the
last Pony, is Of considerable Importance.
The previous advices of June 18th stated
that Governor Jackson was at ST. Louis, in
consultation with Gen. Lyon, on pretend
ed mission of peace. The interview was
not satisfactory TO the Governor. He de-
manded that the Federal troops should leave
the State, and that the Union men who had
been furnished with arms by the Govern
ment for their own protection should be dis
armed. Gen. Lyon, of course, refused TO
comply with this demand. and Gov. Jack
son Immediately left for Jefferson City. On
arriving at that place, he sent out parties
TO destroy the bridges on the Pacific Rail-
road, 10 order to cut off communication with
st. Louis. The bridges over the Gascon.
ade and Usage rivers we're thus destroyed,
and the telegraph wires cut in several pla.
ces by the Governors orders and about
the same time he issued procla nation
calling out $4,000 volunteers to repel the
Federal troops.
Intelligence Of Governor Jackson's pro-
ceediDgs reached st. Louis on the 18th,
and prOdnced intense excitement and in.
dignaton. Troops we're Immediately dis.
patched to take possession of the rail-
road, protect the remaining property, and
repair damages, and considerable force,
under command of Gen. Lyon. embarked
the same day on board the steamers Iatan
and J. G. Swan for Jefferson City. In con-
sequence Of the interruption of telcgraphic
communication, we have not full details of
the subsequent movements. 1t appears,
however, that the Federal forces reached
Jefferson City without difficulty, Gov. Jack
son having left the place, with the troops
under his command, and established him
self at Boonville, some thirty or forty miles
above. Here he was attacked and routed
by the Federal forces, under Gen. Lyon,
and according to the reports. 800 of the
State troops were killed and a large mum.
Der taken prisoners. One report Gays that
seventeen, aud another that twenty-nine,
of the Federal troops were killed.
We have no account of the number of
troops engaged in the action. The battle
probably took place on the 18th of June,
as the news reached Jefferson City on the
10th. Gov. jackson fed, and is supposed to
have started for the southwestern part OF
the State for the purpose of raising another
force.

if Mr.. Lincoln attempted TO enforce the laws, or
defend the public property in that section, he
would be sternly resisted by the united Democ-
racy of the North. The truth is, as much press
ure for decisive action has come from that source,
recently, as from the Republican party, among
whom there is a large interest in favor Of cut
ting loose from the Cotton States altogether by
peaceabo separation.
This week ia likely to be eventful and the
tdngs from the South will DO regarded with the
utmost interest aud anxiety here. In view Of
the possibility Of collision, and the contingency OF
demonstration against this capital, precaution-
airy measures for its defense have been taken,

The statement which has gained currency that
the presence Of detection has been discovered in
the troops now stationed here, ia entirely I'M

partment. after careful inquiry. Efficient and
competent officers are to be put in charge of
