Gov. Hicks holds out manfuly against the
pressure of the secessionists In conversation
with Mr.. Chief Justice Legrand of the Court of
Appeals, day or two ago, the Governor is rep
resented as having addressed the Judge very an
imatedly, somewhat as follows: 9,asf f5e
"Mr. Legrand ! would have you know that
when say No, mean No, and not YES And
now, let me tell you, Sir, if every mar, woman,
and child, in the State, were TO ask me to call
the Legislature together, should not do it, un-
less advised thereto by my conscience and my
judgmentg' q saaa-s
This emphatic disposition of the question
speedily terminated the Judges argument in fa-
vor of inaugurating rebellion by call of the
Legislature, the very first act Of which body
would be to impeach and depose the Governor.
2 They tell another equally emphatic story about
the Governor, greatly to his credit. It is this !:
When Judge Handy came on here last month, a.
the messenger of treason and rebellion on the
part Of Mississippi, he sought to influence the
Governor by the lavish use Of Mississippi cot
ton eloquence, but finding his efforts in vain, he
jumped up from his chair, and, stalking across
the room, exclaimed with all the theatrical force
of Mr.. Forrest himself: s.Finally, Cow Hicks,
let me tell you that Cotton 10 King y Up Jumps
the Governor from his chair, excited by this an
nouncement, and lifting up his arms high in the
air, exclaimed at the top Of his voice: "Mr.
Handy-Nor Commissioner of Mississippi, but
NJ. Handy-let me tell you, Sir, thatI will see
King Cotton in HI, Sir, before be shall reign
over Ne |" And nine -tenths Of the good people
Of Maryland have since responded, Amen to
their glorious old Governor'S alternative Judge

to the Governor as ever Lovers blundering Han

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tfibune.1
ST LoU1s, august 20-11P.M.
There is no news Of any importance from
any point on the different railroads to might.
Jefferson City, about which some alarm is
felt, is now considered safe. All reports tend
to confirm the statement that the accession
ists in The counties adjacent to the Capital
are rising In great numbers, but are poorly
srmed. No a1srn is felt, however. Tonight 4
splendid torch light procession takes place in
honor ofGen. sigel. The procession starts from
Washington Hall, sud will pass through all
tie principal streets. Great admiration is
expressed for sigel by the Germans, and they
tay they Will make up an army themselves, If
be viii Iced them against the enemy.
The Government has given orders that no
movements Of troops shau be telegraphed. I
am consequently unable to give information
in that line as usual heretofore. Several regi-
ments have arrived and been dispatched du-
z.ng the day.
Another lot Of gamblers were, this after
noon, marched up to headquarters, and viii
tomorrow 60 down and labor on the entrench-
nents at Cairo.

ysrd, have seen taken possession Of for mill

THE RRT1R1nC BOARD.

At last we have the names of the off,
GERS who are to compose the army retiring
Board, and they are:-Gen. Joseph G.
Totten of Connecticut Of the engineers;
Col. Carlos A. Waite of New York, 1st
Infantry; Col. Benz. F. Larned Of Massa-
ehusetts, Paymaster General; and Eugene
II. Abadee and Josiah Simpson, both Of
Pennsy lyania, and Of the Medical Staff.
Congress instituted no more import
ant reform at the last session, than this
for the overhauling of the army register,
and the country will watch with interest
the proceedings that are now begun. And
We hope there may be no failure or disap-
pointment. 1tmay seem inauspicious, per-
haps, that a majority Of the Board are
chosen from among the senior officers,
and from the very class that must supply
the retired List. But possibly they are the
ones who viii perform this delicate duty
with most success.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 20-~As much is said
about he attitude Of the European powers
threatening the blockade, after special inquiry
at the State department, there is authority for
saying, that IN the instance when the Niagara
Was OF the station Of Charleston ha1bor for
twenty. four hours, Lord Lyons brought the
subject to the notice Of the United States
Government With that exception, which
happened twelve weeks ago, no foreign Gov
etDment has expressed word Of discomfort
is universally respected BY foreign Govern
ments, although some Of their subjects are
Fe1y active IN endesrofing to evsda the block
sde, and are very clamorous against it.

the cath of allegiance as one Of the new Board
OF Police Commissioners, This excited attcn-
ton, but no surprise
The question Of the exchange Of prisoners,
which has been subject OF considerable con-
sldeTat1on, has not been decided. President
Lincoln is firmly opposed to any recognition
Of the rebels as belligerent power.
It is rnmored that the Government dis1ik es
