FROM MISSOURI.

ST. Lorn. Ju,y 81, 1852
The war fever las taken firm hold of the people
Of this city and State within the past week. ibis
spirit has been brought about by the orders Oh oep
SohofeId 10 enroll every bodied man IN tne oa'e
into the ranks of the militia, and BY Pa'ronc deVo
ton to the Union. The enrolling order is Ve"eu ~
nne-tenths of the citizens order preliminary 10
drafting for service as United States volunteers
Considerable squirmng among the Secessions's, and
a remarkable display Of weakness among the many
nrofesed Union men, ave been developed, but on the
whole the work of enrolment is going on as well as
M con be expected in view Of the suddenness Of
the order. From various portions of the State we
bear favorable responses, and from few unfavora-
Bile respopses The County Of St. Francois, which
has been one Of tue worst infested counties in Mis-
souri, AND which would be projected by the enroll
ment Of the militia, bad the inefiacle meaness 10
send it's State Convention member TO the Governor
70 ask for suspension Of the enrolment order 30
far as that county lie concerned. The interior coun-
ties, which are hottest with Secession doctrines, are
the very places where the screwe should be tight
ened fist. AZ an order compelling the people TO
give up all the arms and ammunition 10 their posses
sion for the use Of the loyal State militia, acoompa-
MES the order for enrolment, all Rebels will be luz
medately dissrmed. All who give up their arms
voluntarily will be leniently, but those who conce,
weapons will be haIsbly dealt vito. An ample
force of cavalry is stationed at convenient points for
the searching Of every house for srms This course
will 90 long way toward expressing guerrilla
operations.
The effect OF St. Louis has been striking. An en-
rolling officer has been located in every ward, and
In every voting precinct in the county outside OF the
corporate hmils Citizens have cOaIe forward quite
faithfully aud put down their uanies In the 1nlrd
Ward, the first name is that OF Judge Samuel Nj.
Breckinridge, author OF the Emancipation PROPOSE
ton voted down by the State Convention. Judge
b. is exempt from military service, bat Ike a faith
fol loyal citizen, he ready TO take place III the
ranks if Necessary, and serve &c solder. Inc
number enrolled 10 the wards, however Is DO index
to tie promptness Of citizens Some fourteen or
fifteen companies have come forward, composed pfin
eipally Of young men woo have been anxious to
choose their own associates, rather than take the
chances Of being thrown into companies promi,cu-
ously, simply by wards A City Guard Is forming
aud the rolls are filling up rapidly. Three conpa-
pies Of Ga men each, have been mustered into .er-
vice. Tomorrow is the last day of ebroling lanes
A peremptory order viii probably be issued AT once
prescribing the penali les Tor not enrolling the name
voluntarily. All The Government employees have
been organized ioto companies. Tue order allo 10
all corporations aud proprietOrs where large num-
Der Of persons arc employed, TO orgsDize their men
Into independent companies. The founderles, flour
mills, newspaper oti es, and other establishments
have taken this course. The Democrat Office en-
plcyees, some seventy.two in number, were mus
tered in yesterday.
One peculiar result of this enrolling order is the
rush of several hundred Secession lrisbnen to the
BRUSH Consuls Office for protection papers 1. has
been noticed that many lnsbmen who have been
voting Democratic tickets for Year,, and have been
employed as political :" strikers by Democratic
politicians, are Included among these protection
seekers" This sea, daIoas conduct has given great
offence to loyal Iiisnwen, for two reasons: Flr.t,
because their countrymeD mean enough to skulk
out Of their duty 20 their adopted country Second,
because they Disgrace themselves by claiming the
protection OF Ireland enemy, Great Britain The CON-
bustible nature Of the lsh bias had free swing
In this business. They held indignation meeting
on Friday night and adopted highly reasoned reso-
lutions oenounoing the freshmen Who sought British
protection vile outcasis. as Orangemen, as ene'
mics of Ireland aud descendants OF Engish oppres-
sop. There Il deal OF humor IN the resolutions,
although they were intended to be serious. The
logic ran thus: Resolved That any Irishman who
0e.ks British protection Is no lribhman."
The indignation Of the loyal sons Of Erin did not
end here. They passed resolution ordering all pro-
lection seekers to quit tie city in "a hours. The
spint Of the last resolution was put Into execution
two days before the indignation meeting. Around
che COnsuls ONCE q crowd Of 1rishmen collected,
and when IN Irisbman obtained bis protection pa
pers. they mauled bin without mercy. On Friday,
matters wero carried 10 an excess A few OF he
ringlesders procured table, which they placed in
the ball of the builciog where the British Consul
had bis Office. An Irishman passed up siairs, and
was greeted with the question, 4" DO you want your
papers," II be answered afirmStively, he was d.
rected TO the table, where he gave bis name and
birthplace. couple of stalwart fellows then seized
him, and tossed bin down the back stairs iuto
allev, where o crowd Of his iufurated cOuntrymen
continued TO pound him. until be away. Resist
ance was useless One man who tried IL WAS
stabbed three times, another into q street car,
and dragged out aud pounded till the police res
cuod him. II the British Government protests
against these occurrences, let MIR. Sew ard inform
Earl Russell that the British Contul here made no

rested several parties, and cleared the sidewalks
with bsy0nets, so that access 10 H. b. Ms Consular
Office was kept open. The assailats were excu.
sively liishDen, aud they made short work with
their disloysI nelghbors. No assurance need be
given, that after these scenes the applicants for pro-
lection papers were very few in number.
The war fever displaye ed itself in immense
meeting last evening" 70 further enlstments for the
war. II is gratifying to know the meeting bad
good result. The President OF the County Commits
slonerv announced that 500 600 would be donated
from the County Treasury ss bounty money. The
principal speaker were tie Hon. Chas. ID. Drake
and Col. Frank z. Blair; the former known about
fifteen months ago US The political antipodes Of the
Latter and the idea that they should speak from the
same stand, the 6rst ultra Pro-Slavery orator.
and the second the recognized FIee-So champion OF
Missouri, lie at once convincing proof that the war
has produced great changes in The mIuds of nolli-
gent men on this subject. Understanding Nj.
brakes former position, you will appreciate the i'm
preston made by the following remarks toward the
Cls.s Of his speech. Mr. Drake said:
