thizsrs In Ohio. Their chief object now Is to
displace Gen. ScHoSnLD from command In
Missouri and Kansas, and this We think it likely
they will accomplish. In order that our read
efs may know who these reckless spirits are,
We publish below an article from the New York
zsmss of September a3d, In relation to them

General Sohofeld has just published moat
stringent order In his Department, and n IA IN
be hoped that be will have the nerve 70 execute
1t, and that the Administration will have tha
courage to suffer him to do 90. The condition
Of Missouri 10 at present, and for months past
has been, disgrace to the American Govern-
ment. II was the State the least struck, of all
the alaveholdinR States, with the madness Of
treason. II was the most quickly and eapily
rescued from the perils of rebellion. Il was
the most fully prepared for the absoestlon Of
slavery, and has been the fret to abolish II, and
thus remove forever the exciting cause OF the
existing war.
But, notwithstanding these facts, Missouri Ia
TO day more dsDgerou,ly disturbed, IL not more
dangerously disloyal, than Mississippi. More
contempt for the army and the Government Ia
daily poured forth there-more turbulence in
talk and In action 10 INDUCED Inland human,
life is less safe than anywhere else Within All
the military lines Of the United States. In
this latter respect, the condition Of Missouri ia
fearful. Not q day passes that does not chron.
icle houae-burnlngs and murders. The border
between Missouri and Kansas is scene of gen.
eral terror and flight, resulting from threats Of
mutual slaughter by opposing parties, which
shreats are In process Of execution. Two days
since the North Missouri railroad trains we're
fred into and driven back from their trip, and
yesterday We we're treated to the report Of new
plots to burn the city of 6t. Louls!
We do not exaggerate the facts in this mat
ter, and We are cory to have to say that he
existing evils in Missouri appear, in the main
part, to spring from the ungovefnable paasIons
and the insubofdinate Vaccinations OF a narts

be loyal to The Government of the United States.
But their misfortune 10, that they think tham"

more loyal than the Union officers and soldiers

week after Gen, Schofield entered uoon his
duties, they commenced bitter and unacrupu-
lous warfare upon him, which has been contin-

could devise 10 bring contempt upon that officer
personally, or to dlscredlt his authority, or EN-.
