4. General Pierce and Col Townsend

if dress parade was to take place, and the
two guns, drawn by horses we're likewise

troops to be cavalry, which he could not
expect from Fortress Monroe.
S. Quarte1master Wermerskirch, of the
stcuben Regiment spoke with, as Afr. Schaf-

Townsend's regiment, who assured him
thatthe frst6ring came from their columns.

GEN. SCOTT AND THE NEWSPA.
PIERS.


The iutlmation sent out from Washing
ton that the revelations Of military move
ments in advance Of their consummation,
BY the Northern press, is embarrassing to
the government, suggests that it is the duty
Of the government to appoint competent
officer to examine all telegraph dispatches
from headquarters, and to suppress those
conveying information which ought not to
be made public. No loyal journal can OBJ
ject to such censorship, provided it be ex-
ercised fairly, and no disloyal one should
be allowed to. object. The daily ncwspa-
pers of the principal cities in the North
pay large sum for dispatches from the
seat OF War, which they au receive in com,
mon, and many, ourselves among the num-
ber, pay still larger sum for special dis
patches. Nevertheless, we are entirely
willing to have our news curtailed by lust
so much as Gen. Scott shall deem neces-
sary for the public interests, provided the
curtailr ent shall apply to the correspond
ents Of all newspapers alike.

The rapidity Of movement and prompt
ness Of action which have marked recent
military operations in Missouri on the part
Of the Federal troops under command OF
Brigadier General Lyon, speak in no un-
certain tone Of the eminent fitness Of that
officer for the important duties with which
he is charged, Without waiting for the
enemy to gather in force, provide COM
misariat, receive arms and munitions,
throw up ent1enchm ents, and by impunity
Of preparation, give Secession the prestige
Of success-Without even consulting that
venerable volume Of precedents tightly
bound with red tape, which every old
fogy in the army is supposed to carry
in memory-the valiant little Bngadier,
emulating the energy Of Napoleon, "pitch-
in," and with such force as he could COM
mand, and with such supplies as were in
the military 1arder ut ST. Louis, started out
in pursuit Of the rebels and their leader
tightly Judging that in War as in love, he
wins the day who most vigorously backs
his cause Well done Gen. Lyon! In
these days, when the Old Man of the
Mountain seems to sit aEtride of our every
military eudeavor, when disorder rcigns
and inaction is the rule, his Napoleonic
p1omptncss is worthy Of our highest admi-
ration.
We already see the results Of the activi-
ty which Gen. Lyon has displayed. Mis-
souri is to-day virtually in possession Of
his handful Of men. If they are not
enough to extirpate Secession, they will at
least hold it in check until reinforcements
come. No considerable body of rebel
troopers and marauders, not even q re-
spectacle number of Border Ruf1ans, can
be gathered together without drawing
The fire Of his guns; not Union man can
be harmed without subjecting those who
are guilty Of the crime to visit from the
loyal men Of the Generals command. No:a
field piece or any great number::of muskets
can be cent into the State to be used
against the Government, without danger Of
seizure. This is as it should be. The
traitors Of Missouri are learning what Vir-
ginia and Tennessee ought long ago to
have been taught that treason has its pen
alties as well as robbery, murder or other
crime; It is lesson that will do them
good. Downto the day Of Gen. Lyons
movement, there was no example any
where Of prompt and vigorous treatment
Of thnt malignant disease. But he has set
the example, inaugurated action upon
new theory, and struck at its root. We
trust that he will be permitted to go in and
copsummate what he has begun; TINT
neither timidityuor apprehension of viola
ting the precedents which red-tape de-
lights to recount, nor squeamishness about
hurting somebody's feelings or infringing
some desperate villains rights, will cause
the Government to hold his hands, aud
turn his brave men back. Let the lion
roar!
