More Threaiened Trouble ia Northwesl
Missouri.


From the St. eph Herald, March 49,
That the rebels Of Northwest Missouri are
about ready to rise in their might, we are daily
receiving abundant evidence. The arms were
taken from nearly every Union man in this part
of the State by order Of General Guitar, and
those belonging TO regiment are guarded in
an armory by three militismen. Thus, twenty
men serve to guard over twenty thousand mus
kets, and more than one hundred thousand
rounds Of ammunition. In q country where
there is no enemy, this may be good policy
but in State like ours. it is purs strstegy-the
beneficial results Of which to Union men it will
take something more besides a document from
the officers of the regiment or the author Of the
policy, to show clearly
For some reason tho secessionists in North
west Missouri are feeling excessively inbilant.
In Amszonia, Andrew county, the rebels rsised
a secesh flag on Saturday last, and on Friday
one was raised in Nodaway county, while a
correspondent in to-da7's Herald records the
raising of one in Holt county. Our tslegraphie
dispatches state that Price has crossed the Mis-
sissippi, and will make another effort to get
Missouri. Everything points to the conclusion
that we are again on the eve of an uprising of
the enemies of the government May our mill
Gary be wise in time.
OREGON, Holt COUNTY, No, March 15.-
On Sunday morning last information was
brought to Capt, Bsskins, of the provost guard
at Oregon, that the rebels living about Noda-
way church had raised a secession meeting
there As soon as possible the captain and part
of the guard were upon the road to see what
was up. Upon arriving at the church they.
found that 4" meeting was out, though there
hoated to the breeze from the roof Of the church,
sure enough, the secession flag. Of course, it
was taken down very quickly.
The question then arose who placed It there,
who were the guilty partiesl Proceeding to the
dwelling of one French Nichols, q notorious
rendezvous for rebels, they found It crowded
with Yomen, the men, as usual having taken
to the brush Inquiring about the matter, they
were sssailed by the women with all manner of
abuse, cnrsing, swearing and baekguarding,
suck as few houses of ill-lsme would tolerate,
issued from the lips of the rebel ladies' there as
sembled. Upon some of the guard entering the
house, they were assaulted By some Of these
feraales with canes and butcher knives.
The guard then proceeded to capture some
of the most outrageous; the rest called upon the
captain for protection. He told them they
should be protected if they would lay gn
their arms and. cease fighting With some diDi-
Guilty and considerable struggling these viragOes
were arrested and brought into Oregon and
lodged in jail, where they now are
There is no doubt that the rebels hsroabOUts
sre getting much more impudent than formerly.
What secret cause they have for their growing
holiness, we know not, unless it was the favor
shown them by Gen. Guitar. From this very
church the rebels lately tore down the UHion
fsIy Capt Thuma, of the Nodaway township
teld them they should not use the
church until they restored the flag. General
Guitar ordered that they might use it anyhow.
Such is ths result of leniency.
