Our cityewas startled from its usual Sabbath
propriety and quietness on Sunday morning by
the arrival Of runners from Missouri with intel

Alexandra, and were assembled IN large num.
beers in that vicinity with tho intention of ma
king raid on Keokuk. Fgi rs asS', h1+
The alarm was given, the irc bells were rung,
and the citizens quickly assembled. The City
Rifles were mustered, and accompanied by :
number Of citizens and . company of eonvales-
cent soldiers, IN properly armed, they left about
noon on the ferry boat, ill being under tho com.
mand Of Lieut. Col. Parrotk T., q .ss+1
ION arriving at Alexandra they found the
rebels bad skedaddled, having been apprised bv
. fellow named Ray Of the preparations making
here. Ray, it appears, left here in skif ex
pEsssly for the purpose Of conveying the aiaqh
70 them. -,
Our friends, however, did not have an entirely
bootless tsjp. They brought up a. prisoners
twenty-five Of the leading secessionists of Alex.
andris, together with the skunk Who gave the
rebels notice. About the time the above named
party left here, another squad, mounted end
armed, took the St. Francisviile road, intending
% enter Alexandria from the North, and thus
place the rebels between the two. They, how.
ever, had received sufficient notice to defeat
this object and get clear away. -
Our citizens, aroused BY the impudence end
daring evinced in this raid, have formed them.
selves into military companies comprising Ill the
dreds, and which, under experienced and ee6.
Gent leaders, Major florence having the com.
mand, will successfully bid defiance "a. any force
the rebels can muster in this vicinity.
Our force made . second visit to Alexandra
on Sunday night, returning with several more
prisoners and . quantity of boots, shoes and
clothing, which had been collected for rebel
purposes.
Of tho secesh prisoners brought up, We have
obtained the names of the following: George

taken to relieve them Of any further efforts il
