Effects OF the war i'm missouri.

A correspondent of the New York Times
writes from Southwest Missouri as follows,
under date of March 7th;
We passed melancholy sight-a wagon
filed with emigrants and all their worldly
goods. By the side trudged q little bare
footed fellow, ragged and dirty. My COM
panion said to him, "Well, my little man,
where do you livep He sadly answered,
Ws don't live no,0here, only in soaggin"
We met another party on horseback. One
of the men told us how his house had been
attacked in the night by gang of maraud-
ing secessionists, and how be had made
one of them bite the dust, with bullet,
which he said, "took him spat between the
shoulders" Such things are common
War has developed the wiekedness of men,
and fostered all their evil passions. Men
swear and lie, and steal and kill, who were
never guilty Of such acts before. The Sab
bath seems utterly disregarded. The chur-
ches aud schools are closed, and the devil
seems to reign supreme. A Christian man
who retains his religion, is worthy Of al
honor; or rather his thanks are due to thai
Divine grace which could alone preserve
him. We reached Springfield on Saturday
In some Of the houses the windows are al
broken, doors have been smashed, and the
floors and walls are covered with filth and
grease. Many of the yards have been used
for keeping horses, and the young fruit trees
are completely barked. The groves have
been cut down for firewood.

The Tennessee Loral,s,s.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com

the loyalists who have appeared on the
Tennessee river:
This invaluable class is composed-ac-
cordiug to careful analysis made by an
eminent chemist on the spot-of ten parts
unadultrated Andy johnson Union men,
ten of good lord, good devil-ites, five of

no more ReeruIts wanted.

There is something startling in the sim
pie announcement that no more recruits are
wanted for the grand army of the Union
The fact that the army is full; that sia
hundred thousand men and more are in
arms for the support of the government;
that the patriotism and self-denial of oul
people has volunteered the whole of thi.
enormous force, is enough 10 startle one
who, less than one year ago, heard the
echoes Of the guus that thundered against
and from Sumter's walls. When, on the
leth Of April, the President issued his call
for seventy-five thousand men, the South
laughed it to scorn and called it "game
Of brag." What do you think now, when
eight times seventy five thousand men are
marshaled around the rebellion, stretching
their Briarean arms from the Sabine to the
Potomac. aud from the Atlantic to the
plains Of New Mexico. The army is full
and the columns are on the march.

II Is said that the Secretary Of War is con-
sidsring proposition TO garrison the. re-
captured Southern forts with negro regi-
ments during the sickly season. The reb-
els have set an example in this respect
Regiments Of well drilled and capable ne
grocs have been formed in different parts
Of the South since the war began, and al
though the slaves have been held to the
practice Of arms against their will and un-
der the immediate terrors Of coercion-de-
serting in squads as soon as opportunity
ofFered-the fact that they have been SO
employed shows that they can bo used as
soldiers. ... s 81.
Morally and physically, the negroes oI
the South who have been emancipated by
the fortune Of war from the control of theft
masters are fited to become useful auxiliar
les to our military operations during the
coming summer, should tho war be pro
longed until the sickly season sets in.--
They are acclimated to the South, and car
endure the miasms that would prove fsta
to the soldiers Of the North. They arr
strong, and many Of them are intelligent =
They may be more safety trusted with arm
than the whiskey drinking and quaHelsom'
rebel forces; and are eager TO prove thei
gratitude for the benefits which freedom
brought to them under tho shadow of on
flag, has given them.
In case Of the continuance Of the campa
ign throught the sultry heats of July auc
August, a few regiments of able bodied col
ored men, carefully drilled By our own off
GERS, and commanded by white men, coul'
hold all the forts and towns that our force
have re-captured from the enemy. Wit
their natural enthusiasm and their new
born love of freedom, these unyoked slave
would serve most useful purpose in re
liovipg our soldiers from the duties of garr
son life.--W. y. Post.

AFormLdable rpedl,Ion.

We learn by letter written on the 10th
ult., on board the Mississippi off Ship Island,
that an expedition is being organized there
to act against New Orleans, independent Of
Com. Porters gunboat and mortar feet, and
that it is to be Of the most formidable kind.
The writer says: We arc going to take
our topmasts and yards down, two hundred
and fifty tons of coal out, cables, extra ancb-
ors, &c, so as to tighten her up 10 eighteen
feet, We are then going back to the Pass,
over the bar if we can, and up tho river
with the rest Of the feet, 10 attack and take
Forts jackson and st. PHILIPPE, and then fur
ther up to lombard New Orleans. AT the
same time we understand that Footo is to
come down and meet us. So you can uu-
derstand what formidable undertaking it
is going to be. We have to pass within
three hundred yards of Fort Jackson, and
| if am not very much mistaken we will
either be blown out of the water or else
scalded to death, for our engines and boil
ers will be way above the water line, and
no coal in the bunkers to protect them.--
The feet will be ready to attack in five or
six weeks, SO it is not likely you will hear
from me again until it is all over, and by
that time good many Of US will be gone
TO ourlong homes. There arc at least fifty
vessels here now, and others coming in every
hour. The Harriet Lane has just arrived
from New York with Com. Porter on
board.

TRANsLArEp FOR the SuAMrr BEAooN,
FROM THE GERMAN or THE CINCINNATI
"Halksblatt."
DrEp--In ST. Joseph, Missouri, on the
2sth Of March, 1859, a Negro, named JRF-
rREr DERvrN, in the 6sth year Of his ago.
His career is peculiarly adapted 10 re-
fute the dogmatical averments Of the South
ern Barons and their imatators, concerning
the impossibility Of employing the "black
house animals" for any other purpose than
that Of slave service; and, in the clearest
manner, to show them to be utterly false,
IL any such argument were at all necessary.
Jeffrey was born in ST. Louis, in the
year 1901, and was slave Of Mr.. Robdour,
the founder of st. Joseph. He spont near
ly all the early years Of his life among the
Indian tribes Of the Plains with his Master,
Robidour, who carried on a very extensive
trade with the Red Skins. Ho learned
tho languages of several races, or tribes,
and soon proved bis talents as truly skill
ful interpreter; and besides this, manifest
ed so much commercial tact, that he, by
his own earnings, was enabled to purchase
his own freedom, in the year 1885. After
this, during several years, he performed the
service Of Government Interpreter
| Wonderful eventl "black domestic AMI.
NAL" ''chattle," installed as Interpreter
In the year 1914, in company with Col
Melody, he attended band of the Chief:
Of the Sacs, Fox, and Iowa Indians to Eu
rope. He translated the addresses of the
Indian Chiefs with such precision and
fluency that he eexcited general astonishment
D. Israeli and other Literary celebrities hat
frequent and long conversations with this
Negro. Laden with presents, Jeffrey re-
turned to America, and again performed
his early duty as Government Interpreter
He accompanied the United States off
GERS in their expeditions across tho Plains
and among the Rocky Mountains, and &C
ted as Guide and Interpreter, in which ca
pacity he rendered himself remarkably use
full. He was acquainted with most of tb'
Indian Tribes in all the wide West on thi.
side of the Rocky Mountains, and spoke
the French and English as readily and flu
emily as be did twelve Indian Dialects. He
bad an intelligent appearance, light mu
latto color; he was modest in his address
and was everywhere respected as man o.
truth. He left at his death, a wife and
children, who inherited his estate Of severa
thousand dollars. His wife had likewise
been slave, and jeffrey, a long time since
purchased her from her Master, Dr.
Brown, of KY.
A commentary on this Neurology woul
be almost supernuous. How many of thos
who pretend to regard the Negro as mer
animal, and wish to treat him accordingly
could measure their own intelIects with III
mind of jeffrey Dervin3 Surely not many
even among the Southern Barons

In spite Of our. regulations, negroes will
occasionally get within our lines, and puz-
zle the brains of their masters" TO get them

in camp searching for his "boy," is some
thing that neither officers nor men can be-
come accustomed to, and that day by day
grows more unwelcome and disgustiug.-
There are a few, perhaps, who are still will
ing to lend themselves with ayidity to pro-

Yesterday morning was in the quarters
ofa Colonel of one Of our Ohio regiments
A stakeholder, clad in the inevitable but.
ternutcolored stuff, with black cloth over
coat, entered tho tent.
"What is your business, sir9" queried the
Colonel.
"Why. I've lost boy. 1 understand he
is in your regiment, and want to look for
him."
"Have you a pass3" demanded the Of
fcer
"No; 1 was told it wasn't necessary TO

Ny lips remained closed, but my heart
said, "God bless you, Colonel, for a soldier

l have seen officers cringe in similar
cases, as though they supposed that only
the most disgusting seryility would save
their backs from the shareholders lash.-
But those officers did not belong to Genera
Mitchell's Division.

Parson Brownlevg's NIIe.

The Parsons wife has notheretofore been
much heard of. She appears TO be, how
ever, of the true Union grit-ready to shoot
rebels when occasion demands. The Par
son told this story of her in a recent Gin
ciunati speech:
One day crowd surrounded my house
and threatened to tear down my flag; but
warned them that they would have to do
it in the face of six loaded muskets, which
would be nsed by men who would never
finch from their duty. They took sober
second thought, and marched away, but
presently about fifteen came back again,
drunker than ever, led by young officer,
who was desired to tear the d-d thing
Of flag down. In the meanwhile, ! had
left my house, and gone to the Office, leav-
ing my wife in charge. She came forward,
and expressed her intention of shooting the
first man who attempted to haul down the
flag. The officer was slightly scared, and
said:
"Madam, you won't shoot, will your
"You had better try the experiment" said
she.
"Go on--go on p shouted the crowd, "sbe
dare MT shootp
She instantly drew from her pocket one
of Colts revolvers, and cooking it, leveled
it at the officers head "Never mind her,
she's only woman" cried tho mob.
HBy God look at her eye !" said the Off
GER as he made low bow, scraped the
ground, and toddled of, followed by the
whole crowd.

". Dousla. and ne asalAorn Con.plFa-

tors
The deslgn Of capturing Washington,
and Of foscibly suhverting the Federal gov.
ernment, il is nov well known formed an
essential part Of the weli matufed plans Of
the Southern conspiraiors. Such was the
enormity Of this design, and so artfully had
Il been concealed, that was not suspected,
except BY few whose positions we're such
as TO give them more than usual facilities
for obtaining information. The rebels were
pesfectly confident Of the success Of this part
Of thcir scheme, and but for tho foolish
boast Of Walker, the rebel Secretary Of
State, and the premature attack on Fort
Sumter, they might have realized their
hopes. Had they captured Washington,
the rebellion would have been, for time,
completely triumphant. Tho country would
have been thrown into state of anarchy,
and the loyal people would have been com
PEELED to resort to revolutionary means TO
re-oFganize the government.
The public mind, since the beginning
Of the war, has been so occupied by passing
events that 10 has yet hardly realized the
danger which such condition Of things
would have involved.
Our attention has again been called to
the subject BY an article written by Mr..
Sheahan, one Of the editors Of the Chicago
Posi-, who .wns confidential friend of Mr..
Douglass Toledo Commercial
Mr.. Sbeahan, says
'1t will bo remembered that Mr.. Doug
las in one Of his speeches, declared that
there was deep laid scheme to dissolve
the Union, and that men high in Office were
involved in it. AT the time he mado this
declaration the men who were hesitating
whether they would sustain the govern
ment, or side with the rebels, alleged that
be was indulgipg in rash declarations. Wo
happen to know that be was satisfied that
he had proof enough to convict some half
dozen leading men of the country with
active participation in that conspiracy. In
May last, after his arrival here, he declared
to one Of the editors of this paper that, at
the session Of Congress then called by the
President, he would unmask the wholeplot
and astound the nation with the particulars
He declared that Mr.. Breckenridge would
not again appear in the Senate, and when
asked why, be said that Breckenridge knew
that be (DOuglas) had the proof of his ac-
tive participation in a conspiracy to seize
the Federal government at Washington;
and that when that failed by the premature
explosion which forced Cobb, Thompson aud
Floyd from the Cabinet, of deliberate CO.
operation with his associate traitors in the
seeded States. Unfortunately, Mr.. Doug
las died before the meeting of Congress-
and Mr.. Breckinridge had the impudence
to appear again in the Senate, when he was
then in direct league with the traitors in
arms. Mr.. Doulas also referred TO the Sec
ret meetings Of the Senators from the cot
ton States, and we suspect had then in his
possession copy of these very resolutions
now so Unexpectedly come to light AT
all events be professed to have proof enough
to satisfy the country that during the whole
of last winter the plan of secession was aid
ed and abetted by men holding seats in
Congress"

what Lincoln said.

After the Presidents emancipation mes
sage of March 9th had been sent to Con-
gress, large delegation of Border State
members waited on him at the White
House TO demonstrate. They set forth var
ious objections, and insisted that he must
recede from the position which he had as
sumed. Mr. Lincoln listened patiently to
all they had to say, and then replied in
substance as follows: Gentlemen, the diff
ference between your views and mine con-
sists in this: You lore slavery, and there
fore desire to have it protected, strengthen
