The election Of Gratz Brown and Hen.

like thunderbolt among the St. Louis

souli is represented Alright md will
speedily take her place upon the side OF
Freedom. The Little Rock returns secure
The State to the Radicals beyond all posi-
djlity Of doubt. In this connection comes
a rumor almost loo good to be true, that
Gamble and Hall will resign. Only let
Schofleld follow suit, and Missouri will
stand rescued from the blight Of Slavery.
The Government has acted wisely in
authorizing Neal Dow to draw upon Gen.
Meredith for a1l clothing required By our
soldiers who arc in the Richmond dun
gcons. Now let il investigate immediately
the reports that come that our soldiers are
kept upon scauty ration OF bran and
water, demand their relief, and If it is not
complied with, order similar rations to be
dealt out at Camp Douglas, Johnson's
Island md Fort Lafayette.
Our columns present detailed reports
from rebel sources. The campaign in Vir-
ginia las caused another wall in Richmond
and tue news ofthc Union victory in West
Virginia is not at all sootlingin its effects
upon the rebel press. The Intelligence

and Canadian rebels would like to haye
done If the government had not set its foot
down go promptly. Vallandigham is again
1hwarted in his designs against the govern
mcnt, and must still wait and watch orer
the border. The people are aroused, and
in terrible earnest. They are determined
to make short work with the rebels, and
ambitious Coppetheads desirous Of e1hib-
lting their treason in plots and conspira-
cics will do well to avoid the storm which
is gathering about their heads. 4
The contraband trade foreshadowed by
the Lamar letter to Wood seems confirm
ed by our North Carolina adyices. Fer
mandy, as his quota Of treason, was to en-
Eage in blockade running and furnishing
the rebels in this manner with material aid |
and comfort, besides lining his pockets |
with gold. Fernandy is evidently aspir-
ing to be Va1's travelling companion
through the Provinces.

The extracts from the correspondence
between the Rebel Agent at Paris and
JEFF. Davis, dis play most eloquently
The hopelessness Of the rebel cause. There
is no hope in England, and Lord
John Russell is csuterized with all |
the fury Of despair. The Agent
admits there is no hope Of recognition
in France. He Is evidently sick Of
his business. &c rails Ike fshwife at his
brother rebels in Paris, and in vc1y en-
phatic language desires current funds, as
the French are mercenary race, not fond
of fgurative money. Following close
upon this, the Richmond Enquirer emits
most dismal howl at the prospects. 4 few
more sturdy blows and the rotten Confeder-
acy will go crumbllng to pieces
