CoNsCRIPTION IN MISSOURL-The first of
January, 1868, is tDe time fixed upon as the one
when Missouri viii be CELEBRATED" from the for
eign yoke of the listed States government. So
we observe by a proclamation issued three weeks
ago, by one Colonel J. Y. COckrell, to the clti-
gems of Newton, Mcdonald and Jasper counties
The colonel, it appears, has come to the relief OF
the oppressed people Of southwest MissuTi. he
reminds them that by an act of the (bogus) Mis-
spuri Legislature this State is a part of the
Southern COnfedeTacy, and it Is expected Of
every man with a drop of Southern blood in
his veins that he will rush to the defense Of that
institution. Colonel Cockrel, moreover, re-
minds the people that the Southern Congress
has passed an act Of eOnsc-i ptlon, embracing all
between the ages Of eighteen and thirty-hve
years of age, and that by its terms the citizens
of Missouri are required to enroll their names as
Confederate soldiers, within ten days Of the no
tifcston, OF else they viii be "conscripted" into
the service.
The enemy, being in possession Of the ooua-
ties named, or parts of them, has actually set to
work the machinery of the conscIiption, ap-
pointing commissioners of enrolment, prohibit
ing all able-bOdied men from leaving on penalty
of being considered aud treated as deserteTs,
and dragging every male person. within the
ages specified, into the ianks.
There is no doubt tbat this system viii be
practiced in Missouri wherever the rebels OBJ
taint foothold. Hindman is reported to be on
the southeast border, by way of Pocahontas,
and he is not the man to show any leniencY il
carrying out tue conscripdou act of tha Ccn-
/ federate Congress. Let II be resolved that the
invaders shall be met aud driven back st.

From the Bulletin, october IL
FIRE on JEFFERSON STREET.-At halfpast
one o'clock this morning, policeman O'Bren
saw flames rising from the neighborhood OF
Patterson S Co.'S stable, on Jefferson street,
west of the bayou. BE Immediately rapg the
alarm, and in q very few minutes the steam fire
engine was on the grouad, but here delay oc-
Cured, and some Of the hand engines got water
on before her. The covers TO the large cisteTn
opposte'the post Office were out of sight, com
pletely buried by the gravel of the street, and
they were found only by using the pick. This
should teach the necessity of frequent inspec.
tion of the cisterns, and occasional clearing the
covers. The fire is spoken of as undoubtedly
the consequence Of incendisrsEz7 ne light or
FIRE had been about the premises burned for q
long time, and persons in the neghborhood, Of
disreputable character have recently been heard
making threats, Involving inceudisTy inten-
tons. The FIRE broke out in WOolner's mattress
factory, among the shucks; the place was
burned down, but there was nothing of great
value about it, and the loss will not exceed FIVE
hundred dollars. The flames communicated
with the stable of Patterson 81 Co., adjoining
There have been no horses in the stable for
some time, but number of Omnbusses, formerly
running to the railroad depots, were standing
there Eight of these were got cut and five
were burned up. a considerable quantity Of
provinder on hand was also lost, and of the sta
bic only the end walls were LETT standing. The
entire loss of Messrs. Patterson & Co., is, at
the lowest estimate, three thousand five hundred
dollars. The shoe shop of d. Marsh suffered
some injury, but the contents were generally got
out and probably two hundred dollars will cover
the loss.
The facilities offered by the combustible ma
terisl used at mattress factories for iHcendiary
purposes, aud tue liability to fire in such facto-
ries, calls for attention. II was from q mattress
factory that the FIRE started which was 50 serious
on the south side of Court Square last spring
The council might with advantage consider the
pIopriety Of passing an ordinance forbiddiHg
the use of any building adjoining or within
given distance Of another, building, ss mattress
factory. l. is also desirable thas some arrange
ment should be made for The regular periodical
inspection of the public cisterns. The cOndi-
ton of the covers to the cistern opposite the post
office last night shows the Importance Of sys-
tematic inspection.
