From the ST Louis Democrat
Passengers by the steamer New Gaty, which
arrived yesterday from Saint Joseph, disclose
the fact that along the Missouri river there is not
such state of peace and sublime loyalty as
there is in the neighboring States OF Iowa Or
Illinois and relate the condition of the country
in such language as proves the necessity OF
shedding blood freely-the blood ftraitors-in
order to spread more general respect for the
power OF the government. The secessionlst IS
seem to have been TeoTganiz5d into bands OF
| desperate msTaudeTs, who are doing pretty much
as they please, unOpposed by any military force,
and perhaps countenanced, aided and sbetted
| by the moro wealthy, and hitherto the intluen-
tial portion Of the people. This condition of
| society in Missouri calls for the severest mea-
sITes, for the very meas ures that will be charac-
terized by secesslonists, as harsh and inhuman.
There must be nOsqueamishness no in dealing with
these guerrilla bands and their sympathizers.
If the communities cannot repel and dispe-se
these INSCRIPTIONS outlaws, they must soon
submit to the march of troops in their midst,and
| to an iGdiscTimiuate use of property by those
troops for the purpose Of queling the rebellion
and its concomitaats. There is an apathy
among those people that may lead to their ruin.
We learn from the recent arrivals what fol-
lows:
FrankfoEs ,illsge below Brunswick, in Sa-
line county, was visited by party of gueTTillas,
variously estimated as usual TO be from fifteen
to two hundred. Unopposed they held the town.
their sympathizeTs and the Union men, if any
there were Of the latter, as long as they thought
fit, and left when they chose, with all the goods
they wanted.
1t was rumored that one hundred guerrillas
visited Columbia, but what they did there, if
they really paid that town visit, did not come to
the knowledge of our informant.
At various points on the river, if not at all,
there existed considerable excitement, and the
secesh were, as usual, jubilant, and declared
that when Price would again come into the State
he would be welcomed and instantly Joined by
hundred thousand men.
There seemed to be an organized rising of gu
errila parties in different countless and deter
mination to commit as much mischief as posi-
Bic while the Union sentiment was quiescent
and meek.
Crops in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and NebTas-
ka, were remarkably abundant and very fine.
The wheat has not been known, during the last
twenty-five years, to be in finer condition, or to
promise moro aFandanlly. Corn looked mag
Di6cent.
From our informant we CLEAN eHe item, show
ing that at least few of the disturbed counties
will rapidly be cleared of the secession msraU-
deTs, if it can be done by armed men, by fire and
sword, and by confscation, the latter g psstime
that may bring few of the innocent sympathi-
sers to their senses.
