from Newbern, N. c., that "wenty-one men of
the Maine artillery deserted on the night of the
25th of November, taking with them their mus
kets, cutlasses and pistols" If not wholly a
mistake, is certainly so as to the corps from
which the desertion took place. There is no
Maine artillery at Newbern, or at any other
point in North Carolina.

at the Capitol tonight A brief discussion
ensued on the motion to exclude spectators

all loyal men in this hour of our country's

Resolved. That we hold II to be the duty
Of all loyal men to stand by the Union in this
hour Of our country's trial, and unite hearts
and hands In earnest Efforts for its mainte-
nance against those armed against il, and to
sustain with determined resolution our pat

end we invite the cooperation Of al men
who love their country. in their endcavors
to re-kindle throughout all the States such .
patriotic f1re as shall utterly consume all
who strike at the Union and who sympathise
with their treason and palliate their guilt.

Trouble in Northern Missonri.-
iowa Rebels.

We have, before this. referred to the SYM
ptoms OF renewed trouble in Northern Mis-.
souri,. These symptoms are daily increas.
ing. There are considerable bodies of rebels
organizing and preparing for active and des.
pe'ate warfare, in districts which were sup.
posed to have become quiet. and, at least,
passively loyal Strange to say, these dis
tricts comprise the counties near the Iowa
border. Their contiguity to loyal State
has caused them to be almost disregarded
and hence, the rebels there have been able
to carry on their 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 being
aided, by numerous svmpatnizers in Iowa.
Iowa is truly loyal State, an1 has given
proofs Of her loyalty that will shed brilliant
lustre over her young history. But there
are malcontents in Iowa-considerable in
numbers. and active in their schemes.
Three months ago, we were informed thar
there were several organizations of that Sc.
cret order Of traitors, Knights Of the Golden
Circle. in the counties near the Missouri
border. Ifthe truth were known, it would,
probably, be found that through the agency
of these Iowa sympathizers, and through the
assistance, also, Of Secession merchants in
Chicago, the rebels of North Missouri have
been constantly supplied with the powder,
lead, percussion caps and arms which they
could not procure Mt st. Louis.
This trade between Chicago and North
Missouri seems to have been entirety over
