ST. Louis, Aug. s.-Gen. Merrill during
active operations against guerriIIas in
Northeast Missouri will call a BILE bodied
loyal men to his assistance and subsist his
command off secessionists. The jurisdic-
ton of Provost Marshal General of this
State has been extended over Illinois and
Iowa.
Recruiting in this city is progressing
very satisfactorily and there is little doubt
but that the eight regiments called for un-
der the Presidents first proclamation will
soon be full. The recruits from the coun-
try are coming in rapidly aud the people
are fast placing themselves on Que side or
the other.
Advices from the Indian country say
that Col Cross rebel force retreated from
Fort Davis towards Doggy Depot aud Fort
Gibson now held by the Federal.

SPRINGFIELD, No., August 7.-At day-
light on the morning of the I'd, Col. Low
ther, with 125 rebels, attacked Captain
Birch's command of IS Federals at Ozark.
Capt. Birch having been apprised of a
medItated attack, fired and abandoned his
tents and withdrew into the brush. Soon

the burning camp, aud called upon our
men to surrender. Birch responded with a
Volley of mimic balls, aud emptied several
saddles, when the rebels broke aud run
leaving most Of their arms, and portfolio
containing muster rolls aud correspon-
dence.
The enemy had two killed and several
wounded.
They retreated 40 miles from FORSYTH. on

Caffey, Hughes and Tracy are making
strong efforts to get a footing in the State,
but the activity of our troops has so tar

The citizens are being rapidly enrolled In

chasing guerrillas and assisting the troops
to maintain quiet
There is an excited state of feeling, aud
death to guerrillas is the motto. Seven
guerrillas were hung in one day.by a partv

gone by, and loyal citizens are determined
to take matters in their own hands, and rid
the country OF lawless marauders and
guerrillas.

PRUSSIA.

The party Of Progress in PRUSSIA has inst
gained victory whose influence is likely to lbs
felt oil over Europe. On May 6, an election
was held for a new House of Representatives
and tho returns. thus far received, make it al
most CERTAIN that the National Progressive
party, which, though differing in name. con-
ssts mostly OF Democrats OF 1913. will have in
the new House an absolute majority. The
circumstances accompanying the election
make this victory st more significant.
The former Ioure Of Representatives was
dissolved by royal decree on March II be-
cause majority embracing thc entire Pro
grcssive party md part of the Constitution

ton Of the public expenditures in the next
budget. At the same time, the Ministry,
which consisted partly Of CCnstitutionasts and
partly of Conservatives, was dissolved, and re-
placed by one entirely ariStocratic aud conser-
valiye The utmost efforts were made by the
King personally and the new Ministry to IN
timidate the people, and prevent the election
of members of the Progressive party. The
project of each of the more than three hun
bred circles into which the kingdom is divided
had to issue in the official paper Of his district

ton Of the Government that tho people at the
new election would show their confidence in tho
new Administration, because only in this way
serious conflicts in the Constitutional life Of tho

Of public officers were officially apprized that
they were expected not 10 vote for or favor in
any way the candidates Of tho Progressive

former occasions, volunteered their services ~

THE STATE OF sONOEA.

We find it stated in u California paper, re-
csiyed yesterday. that for considerable time
the Rebels have been preparing To invade the
State of Sonora; and with that view, have been con-
centratinc large bodies of troops upon the North
ern frontiers Of the State. A few weeks ago.
messenger from Gen. Sibley. commanding the
Rebels 10 New-Nexico, arrived with dispatches
for Pesquera the Governor of the State. The
messenger-a Rebel Colonel-boasted that he
was the commander Of 1900 men near the from
tier of the State; and it is reported that Gen.
Sibey has, altogether 5000 men under his COM
mand 1t els further said, he is approaching the
frontier, and that an attempt VIII be made to
take the State.
These reports have additional confirmation
ia the fact that the correspondence between
the Rebel messenger and Gov. Prsquiera is
considered by the former to be perfectly salts
factory. The Rebel emIssary, indeed, declares
that no obtained from the Governor much more
than he expected. There appears, in fact to
be thoroughly matured plan on the part of
the Rebels to get possession OF the State. II
the Rebellion had been as successful as il has
been runous to those engaged in il. the Lower
California territory would have asalled them
much as q means of extending their peculiar
institution. Failure in the attempt TO over
throw the National Government makes Il south
western outlet even still more a matter of
consequence to the insurgent leaders. They
have no means of escape by WY Of the Allan
tic seaboard; and a western raid is the oul.
possible relief, even if it should prove 20 be-
but temporary.
A point. however. Of some consequence is,
whether the National Government has directed
sufficient attention to the position and the SYM
pathies OF Sonora. 1t is Represented, on good
authority. that the people OF the State strongly
sympathize with our Government; and that in
their hearts there il nothing they dread 80
much as the success of the Rebels The qucs-
ton deserves tho earnest and immediate atten.
ton of the Government.

BRIrisH PERvERssTY.

For more than twenty years. up to tho In
coming of our present Federal Administration,
the Government of the United States has notori-
ously been the chief shield and shelter of the
African Slave-Trade. The decisive step was
taken in 1901, when Gen. Cass. representing
Mr. Van Burens Administration at the French
Court, opposed and defeated mutual compact
trade by allowing qualified and careful! de-
fined Right of Search If each Others merchant
vessels witBin certain suspicious localities. The
pretext for this refusal was Of course jealousy
of Brti-h tyranny on the high seas, and So
keen was the very natural senstiyeness Of our
people on that point that Gen. Cass was
enabled to earn the gratitude OF tho Slave
Power hero with small loss or risk to himself.
He never, We rejoice in saying, obtained the
coveted reward of this service; but he once
cams near it, securing the Democratic nomina-
ton Tor the President, and carry ing the Electoral
Vote Of nearly every Cotton State, though his
opponent was Gen. Taylor an extensive slave
holder and planter. Even Gen. Toylors SON.
in-law supported Gen. Cass on that occasion:
the name of said sonn-law being Jefferson
Davis.
The moderate anti-Slayery sentiment of the
country has for the first time attained a recog-
nized asccpdcncy in our National councils, and
one of its earlier fruits is new Treaty vita
Great Britain providing for reciprocal and
guarded exercise OF tho Right of Search on the
Slave Coast OF Africa and in tbe vicinity OF
Cuba by the armed cruisers Of the two con-
tracing nations. This Treaty. following the
recent execution OF a slave-trader ut this port,
will surely eNtingulsb the Savc-Trade. Never
more will half dozen cars0es Ol slaves BIO
taken from Africa to any other quarter Of tho
globe. 1t was the IMMUNITY secured by Gen.
Cass to any SLAYER who chose to hoist the
Stars mud Stripes on tho approach of British
cruiser that has given that trade its recent
diabOllcal prosperity. Ii, by baro chance, an
American cruiser should hall him the next
hour. he had only to substitute British or
Spanish flag for our own, and be could laugh
at pursuit, though hundreds of slaves, packed
like behring's in box, were plainly visible on
bis deck. Thus. through tue action of our
Government, tho suppression Of tho Slave
Trade became o farce, and the vessels engaged
in it--ours especially-learned to make their
work light a. possible.
All this is changed BY the new Treaty. and
by tho unwonted vigilance and earuostness in
tracking the slnvors aud their abettors which
is evincsd by the Marshals and District-At,
torneys of Mr.. Lincolns Administration. Briefly.
tho African Slave Trade is stone-dcad, and the
election of Lincoln has killed it.

Slave. Trade Treaty just before the Great East.
