MISSOURI At REST.


For while, at least, the conflict OF
arms in the State Of Missouri has been
brought to stand. The rebel flag mas

rebellion has succumbed to the crushing
weight Of the Union arms, and 70 car

general expectation, Price and van

Beauregard. There seems TO % no
doubt Of this. The concentration OF 90
overwhelming Federal force under Gen.

made it very clear to the rebel War De-

There seemed to be no other alternative
but to withdraw Price and Van Dorn's
forces from northern Arkansas, and give
Up Missouri. So it is, and once more
the shackles of rebellion are taken
from our sister State.
General Curtis is still in the southern
part of Missouri with his army, and at
different points through the State are
stationed ANAL detacbmcnts of troops
detailed to protect and encourage the
Uoion cause. 1t may be that the last
battle has been fought in that State at

UPON the attention Of the whole people
of this land is all that is necessary TO
accomplish the object desired. A large

are tearing off.

the abolitionists, "want the property OF
the rebels copfscatcd." If that is the
case then let them do it. They WILSON
have the control of the State govern

the constitutional power to confiscate
that property it is the State Legisla-
