Channcey I. Fiiley, the radical candidate for
Mayer. II lie SHOULD be unluckily defeated,
the blame will not rest On the out-aril-ou
radicals, but upon the so-callc1 CONSERVATIVE
Enamel iIationis;s, Hilo are carrying on the
contest at this hour OH the CRY that st. Louis
must not be committed to radical doctrines,
All tic clements Ct opposition to straight out
emancipation are combined under the lesi.r.
sLjp Of tic ST. Louis Re1u''ie4u to t!eft;.t TIC
radical candidate, sliose principal crime, in
th.ir Judgment, is in sustaining all thc Pfcs;-
ctnts VAR 1Ecasnfcs, =nd giving the Govern.
n'ent al unconditional support. The 1lliae
Uiich must confuse distant observers Of tn.
LEGAL politics, is thar thc F:lcral officials OF
Miss 'ouri are hand in glove with former min
utc-nen, secesssoniets who were ASSESSED rs
d!sloyaljsts, recent rebels, Government cou-
tractors, Camp Jackson capsiycs, and thc His.
seu7i Etl"t3ican, in oppnsiiion to the caudi-
dates supporting the Government measures.
Should this party triumph, 1t will 20 forth to
the lard that Tie conservatives hare gained
great victory. How Vallaudighanl, Wood
l. Co. will rcjuicc, and as the swelling It'd, ol
CerpcrAcad rejoicing rolls over tho lan'l, how
pleasant it may be for the President to feel
tta= the men he appointed to Office in ST..
Lo1sis assisted hy their money and influence
tO brig about the said victory. On tue other
ial,d, The election of Chauuccy I. Fillcy will
give tny to the heart, CT Union turn every
where. Alrrecla'ing the Issue thus formed,
The defeat Of Q. D. Fil1er, the C':1ybauk car
eidatc, By his competitor the Charcoal caudi-
date, will be understood aright.
The guerillas in Missouri arc certainly
threatening mischief The pursuit Of the
gucr;flas who ba1b:rously attacked the Sam
Ga1y steamboat is quitcactive. The pursuing
force is composed ct State militia cavalry,
under command of Col. Waltrr KIM, an e1ll-
cient officer. He reports that they ha7o scat
tered iu J"huson and jackson counties. No
coult they will unts: again, and commit fresh
damage, unless captured. Gen. Loan, it is
understood, hes given orders 10 show the
vretc!,es 10 l.l.;rc5. Their cri1nc- should ont
law ,hem IN the eyes Of every honest man,
and they should be slot down as wild bras,s.

to Union },,iEcip1.s, it is impossible to tell
rEc1e 1i.cir lore tDr slavery breaks off and
t3tlr love for the Union commences. wAc.l-
ever tic two come ft1o conflict. Fur many
months Guy. Gamble has BEEN cnaea9oriur
to have tliis State turned over to til. patr:ilai
c:'e Vi the State troops, who arc eouslcr, in
his Judgment, upon tie contraband question
ll.an volunteers from Iowa, Illinois and Wis
consin. To prove that no necessity for Uni.
t,d States volunteers i'll Missouri exists, the
l7u-s!avr1y men arc just now crying down the
reported 1n!scliefous intentions oi the guer-
illas. Gcn. Curtis has opposed this withdraw
~ ard has the evidence Of the danger Of 1uer-
il:as in black and white. The partial out
breaks in Various parts of the country, and
the continual Interference with the military
Telegraph, sufficiently prove the intention.
Gen. lerlo'l's departure for the field to as.
eu1nc chief command Of the army of the
Frcntier, is accepted as sign that there Is
wtik ahead. II has BEEN broadly intimated
already in city paper that Gen. Heron will
I..ccced ut once to u.ganizc III expedition for
il quick aud bold dasli into the rebel territory,
and obviously Little Rock Is the destination
Of the expedition. The grccnest rebel iu the
land can SEC it by noticing the whereabouts Of
tflt army Of the Frontier rs published in the
sa1nc paper aud running lis eye over the near
ct points II, rtbeldonl. The dashing quail
ties before displayed By Gen. Heron will have
full scope in his next enterprise. He has i
noble command and, rightly handled, it will
yet make its mark In the prosecution Of the
war.
Gen. Blunt and several Of his Indian off.
GERS have been In town for several days, in
consultation with Gen. Curtis. lie has been
assigned IL the department Of Kansas. Should
Price III dertake another Invasion Of Missouri,
lie will find Blunt upon his left flank with m
command ready to fail upoa his rear should he
advance far upon Missouri. This is exactly
the style Of warfare the Kansas boys viii
delight in, and Which General Blunt
Indian country being now In our hands, will
have to be cleared before Price eau advance
north Of the State line, and until this is done,
no large rebel army can move safely upon
Missouri.
