TrenbIe In Northern Missouri Iowa
Rebels.
We have, before this, referred to the
symptoms oil renewed trouble in Northern
Missouri. These symptoms are daily in
creasing. There are considerable bodies
OF rebels organizing and preparing for
active and desperate warfare. in districts
which were supposed to have become
quiet, and, at least, passively loyal. Strange
to say, these districts comprise the coun-
ties near the Iowa border Their con-
tiguity to loyal State has caused them
70 be almost disrcgarded, and hence, the
rebels there have been able to carry on
tneir preparations unmolested.
But this Is not all. We have good
reason to believe that the rebels Of North
Missouri have long been aided, and are
now beng aided, by numerous sympath-
zers IN Iowa Iowa is truly loyal State,
and has given proofs Of her loyaity that
will shed brilliant lustre over her Young
history. But there are malcontents in
Iowa-considerable in numbers, and nc
tive in their schemes.
Three months ago, We were informed
that there were several organizations Of
that secret order of traitors, knights OF
the Golden Circle, in the counties near
the Missouri border. If the truth were
known it would, probably, be found that
through the agency of these Iowa sympa-
thizers, and through the assistance, also,
Of Secession merchants in Chicago, the
rebels OF North Missouri have been con-
stansly supplied with the powder, lead,
percussion caps and arms which they
could not procure at st. Louis.
This trade between Chicago and North
Missouri seems to have been entirely
overlooked. list. Louis News.

Every place was closely examined. Union

tents taken out. This plundering was
carried on several hours. They ripped
feather beds open, strewed things over the
floors and upset -four barrels. They took
eighty-two United States muskets, rifles,
revolven, two boxes of cartridges, some
powder, all the clothes Of the soldiers,
that they had sent home from the army,
over-coats, blankets, saddles, brides, and
everything they could use. They swore

pressed two wagons, loaded with plumber,
which they said themselves was the best

road for Lancaster, and took DIR. William

State militia, along with them. Before
they could take Capt. Dawson he was
slightly wounded on the right side of his

that nothing seems to be held sacred but
