bullion which will pass through the Assay

THE WAR IN Missouri From many indi
cations we apprehend another uprising of the
rebels in this State soon as favorable
opportunity presents itself. From the west
and central portions, and from the northeast
ern part Of the State. we learn by men whose
opportunities for observing entite their opin
ons to much confidence, that they fear an
other uprising o. the rebels with the coming
o spring. We are told that they are quietly
aiming themselves and procuring ammuni
ron; and there is a certain tone and bearing
about those supposed to be initiated in thei,
secrets, that lead the law abiding Union men
to fear there is approaching danger. We
hope, for the good Of the State, that our in
formation may prove to be incorrect ,, .a
The suff rings and hardships of our people
have already been great, and they will be
much greater if they have to pass through
another season of bushwhacking and maraud
ing like the last. .1'.'3 4a.s. Il a.fe.i,ss">'ia

HUNTING GuERRlLLAs IN INDIAN TERnlToRY.
A uffalo, wolf or fox chase is no compar,
son. Two days ago, while crossing Walk
Cherokee nation, we started up six Of the
Livingston gang. ~ They were dressed
throughout in the Federal uniform of blue,
which they had pil:ered from our murdered
prisoners, They even wore the little Union
flag on the side of the hat. Eight Of us APP
preached them until within about five hun
dred yards. One Of the number advanced a
few PAGES in front, and with his hands gave
series Of signs, which of course We're I'M
Ineligible to us. The signs not being an
swered, they, Of course, knew us to be enc
mics. They Instantly wheeled their horses
and put in the spurs. A five mile prairie lay
before us, and now the race commenced
Now and then they would look over their
shoulders and send navy bullet at US
Our boys were ordered to hold their FIRE and
apply the whip and spur. With loud yells
and Indian wa,-whoops we dashed on. For
the first three miles the race was even, no
apparent advantage being gained by either.
The pursued were running for life, and
the pursuing for victory. Soon four Of our
best horses commenced to gain upon Them
until not over one hundred yards separated
us. Now commenced the work. Our ma

One rebel reels and falls from his horse an
other horse is hit, and plunges headlong,
throwing his rider to the to the ground a
single shot holds him there. All are dashing
forward, with hideous yclls. and the quick
reports Of pistols make the scene one long
to be remembered. A third reels and tun,-
bles to the ground, and a fourth horse is dis.
abled and his rider helpless. and in another
instant. is writhing in the agonies. of death.
The other two owe their lives to the speed
of their horses The chase is ended, and
orr painting horses tells how severe it has
been. Four lif-less marauders lay to bleach
in the suns and rains of heaven. -.

SENATOR GRIMEs.-The Muscatine Journal
pays this merlted compliment to Senator
Grimes, it says: .... .-..
A prophet is not without honor save in his
own country, but Senator Grimes is consid-
cred throughout New England and the Mid
die States as the master spirit who has made
our navy the most formidable of the world.
1t has not been long since his idea Of iron
clad gunboats was laughed at. Iron clad
gunboats are not sneezed at now. The STU
pendous advances recently made in naval
warfare are in great measure due to James
w. Grimes. He has plated the navy with
iron-h he has put flesh, and blood, aud mus
Gle, and slncw, and life into the dry bones Of
the Navy Department. He has appreciated
Ericsson. and armed Foote and Dupont with
terrible, invulncrable weapons. We yield to
this the praise which is due to stateman

Saturday evening, January love ar.
rived Off Galveston about noon to-day, and
IS soon as the Captain reported to the Flag
officer, the request went up from the Flag
Officer to prepare for action and get under
way. The Brooklyn stopped about two
miles from the tort, while the New London
and Sc,ota vent close in, to draw, if possible,
the fire Of any batteries which the rebels
may have erected. Surrounding the fort
could be seen the tents of the troops, and to
wards them our fire was directed. The ball
was opened by the Brooklyn. The Scio,a
followed with her l Inch and Parrott at ne
extremity above town, while along the front
at the other extremity, We opened with one
Parrot and one Sawyer, but elected no re-
ply. We then went within mile and half
Of the fort and opened fire on the encamp-
ments. The Sciota came after US, while the
Brooklyn with the tremendous range ofguns,
planted shell at nearly every discharge, at
. distance of three miles. We were rolling
tremendously, and had to fire as we were
rising. Our starboard 30-pounder was fired
and the shell exploded in the fort, and soon
down came the rebel flag, the halyards being
cut After firing several good shots, sig
nal was sent up from the flagship to cease
the action. We came about, and, as we re-
turned, field piece battery opened upon us.
The shot fell about twenty rods from U.S.
We gave them broadside, and the Sciota
3.inch shells, all OF which, struck and explo-
ded in the battery, the effect Of which must
have been tremendous, judging from what
we could see through the glass. We could
see the mast of the Harriet Lane over the

written during the session of the Supreme
Court of this State:
The Supreme Court is still in session.
Since the holiday recess, it. is disposing of a
large calender quite rapidly. A decision Of
importance, affecting the rights Of homestead
has just been rendered. 10 secure the pay
ment Of a certain sum, Joseph C. Bailey con-
veyed his homestead, by mortgage deed, to
one Sharp. the wfetf Baily joining in the
deed, so far as TO reiinquish her right OF
dover, by express terms, without conveying
any other title. To makea Consequence of II
homestead valid, the statute requires that
the wife shall JOIN her husband,in tire deed ;
and the Court held that the right of home
stead is higher.right than,that of dover
therefore that the deed from Bailey to Sharp
is void 1t is supposed that a great many
titles will be effected by this decision.
