This has been an exciting day here,
caused first, by reports this morning, IN
connection with the bridge burning,
that the rebels had captured Iro1ton
and were marching 10000 strong on st.
Louis; second, by panic in the Ex-
change market, and the impossibility
Of procuring any on any terms tor Mis-
sonri money, coupled with the refgsa!
Of freight agents, receiving freight for
the East, in consequence OF the trunk
