Gen Curtis pays no attention to Order No. 3, |
and contrabands are constantly bringing him |

State militia are located co1ored fugf-
fugitives receive no protection and are even
hunted down and restored to their N a5ters:
are subject to the articles Of war governing
the whole army. What has become Of the
additional articles of war passed at the pres
ent session Of Congress, prohibiting any army
mand to return fugitive slave to any e1aim-
ant? There is resi- ground for complaint IN
t this matter, and the Missouri state militia,
| with one or two exceptions, has so far shown
] its services to be useful, only to hunt down

the blatent Judge Birch By Colonel Boyd
at Rolla, for dlsloyal sentiments is an event
Of slight Importance. The arrest Of judge

ago. He has been making speeches Oh bis

this BY protesting great loyalty and at the

Of the government to put down the rebellion.
The whole tenor Of bis speech speaks out his
loyalty and must please the secessionists
highly. Judge Birch will now claim martyr
