The governor has just received q dispatch
stating that some 500 guc1i]las had attacked
and occupied Lagrange, Mo-, some nine miles
above Quincy on the Mississippi.
He Immediately teleg1nphed TO the COM
nandipg officer al Quincy, to send force from
his command aud re-occupy the place. Our
Lot having force Of cavalry in the State will
prevent our being able to pursue and chastise
the rebels. The rebels killed two persons and
wounded others. The vicinity of this large
force to our Western border demonstrates the
necessity Of the Governors plan Of providing
FeEma ncnt camps, which ! forwarded you
yesterday.
Ad;u+ant General Fuller will be in Chicago
to-day to see shout the organization and NUM-
bering of Col Sno shocks regiment, and ot
the Irish Legion, and for other purposes.
There is some alarm along the border Of the
State, in the vicinity Of Quincy, On account
Of this raid.

Of the State knew what their quota was they
requested the privilege Of filing it By thre'
years volunteers, and on the 9Th inst, the re
