;he LIST Iowa cava1ry with their vengeance, |
It Lone Jack. and we're getting. ready for 3
1aud assault near Lone JaGk. Then General
march from Fort Scott The rebels
lid not wait for further movements, but
had their horses and teams at railroad
speed for the Osage.. It wasa tickli=h ques-
ion tor the rebels whether they should safely
been three months earlier Or two months later
there would have been no alternative toa fight
save surrender. Our troops guarded several
crossing places, but the rebels made for Tates- |
gille ard crossed twenty four hours before
Cen. Blunt arrived in pursuiti7 although onr
general rode his men aud horses to the last
verge of exhaustion in the effort to oVertake
the tugi1iyes. Gen. Blunt rested on the 29th,
from an. until sa m. at IatesVii1e. and
then, according to his latest dispatch, started
Tor Grceuis Id the county seat OF Dade county,
where it wss reported that Coffee &: Go. in
tended to make stand. Greenfield is about
forty miles from Tatesville, and Gen. Blunt
probably arrived there with bis command on |
Thursday morning. Il q fight had occurred
that day we should have heard the result BY |
this time, so that the inference is that the |
rebels made tracks without halhng, for Ar
kansas.
This is virtually an end Of serious guerilla |
operations in Missouri at present. The bal
ance Of the rebels will separate and 60 home,
or at most, keep together in small squads,
The guerilla raids will be confined now to
horse stealing, highway robbery, and to poun-
cling on small parties Of Union soldiers who
may be found from time to time passing along
unfrequented roads or otherwise detached
from their companies. Rucker, who had
Ridge, and escaped from the military prison Of
this city, WIS defeated in an engagement In
Platte county on Wednesday. Cobb'e gang
was routed in Galloway county on Monday
last Even in southeast Missouri where the
guerillas have lately shown some signs Of life,
they dare not assemble more than thirteen
men for raid On FredericktoWn for fear OF
concentrating the State militia for their exter-
mination.
Gov. Gamble has made forward move
ment and landed plump into the embraces Of
those who were recently 9enouneing him as
strong in his speech at the war meeting on
"Wednesday night, and the German papers,
which we're only few days ago vehemently
demanding his removal, are now teemlDg with
praises Of him. The Governor said IN sub
stance that having tried grass to bring back
TO try stones, and be WAS in favor Of s1augh-
tefing every guerilla caught in arms
against the State OF the United States
government, and for confscatiug their prop
er;y and 1evyi1g contributions on them to
support our armies. He admitted frankly
that 8 change had taken place in bis hert,
| aud to show that he was even ahead OF Presi-
dent Lincoln in his war sentiments the GOV
error stated that he had applied for the trans
| fer Of the prisoners Of war sentenced to death
| {suhject to the presidents decisson) for
| bridge burning, to bis own custody, SO that
! he might give the order whenever necessary
! as an example to EhaTe them hanged. The
| governor stated that the president refused
1 because he knew that Missouri Union men
had no mercy for such fe1ons. An impress
ion bns gained currency that the governor
was "put up" TO this speech by recent
| movements looking to the appointment OF a
military governor who would supersede him
! entirely. Since the governors speech this
| tglk has ceased.
! An incident that occurred in the presence
| Of the writer yesterday may add something
to the violence already accumulated against
Northern traitors. 4 Well-known resident Of
| this city, who has twice been Indicted fof
treason, and is now out on a bail bond fol
$4,000 to answer the last indictment, entered
horse car with three papers Just received
and opened them. The names Of the papers
thus received By IN indicted traitor were ths
Chicago TINES, the Cincinnati Enquirer and
the Toronto Leatler. Ii anything more con
yinciug Of the tfaitorous prociiTitie5 OF th
papers named can be found, you will have h
60 further South for the proof.
The case Of the parole prisoners at Benton
Barracks is a hard one. Many Of the mel
sincerely and houorably believe that they III
not perform any services for the governmeD
without violating their paroles. The tde
which Possesses their minds is that any CANT
orhaTdt hip duty, or any guarding Of publ
property Is work which If done BY them en-
ab1es other men to go into the field, aud /
therefore direct aid and assistance to on
armies, and a violation of their parole, not +
perform military services until paroled. Ger
Ha]lcck says they are wrong, and that guar
duty ErarrfEnu distant frrr f1a Puhmp1
lines is not military service in q belligereu
sense The paroled men either cannot or wi
| not see this distinction. Probably some {
| them Ieal1y shrink for selfish motives and ott
| ers are blind to the real point involved. A
though called upon to do guard duty abou
: once in thirty days, the men has
: preferred to 60 into the guard house an
e suffer confinement rather than ris
