eseoyt. The speaker Of our House Of Repre-
seutstiyes, who is with the delegation, never
leaves his county without an ssoort, and were
the editor of the latsll(esNcsr placed upon
horse, tabled emsncipsaiouist,n and started
through counties Alled with State troops, he
would not trevei tsa miies eres guerrilla bulles
would bring him down.
As an example Of the conservative policy
pursued by the military and provisional au-
thorities there, let me give few facts wnicn
can be substantiated by unquestlonable author.
ity. In Missouri are q number OF FEDERAL
ofhcers armed with Adjutant General Thomas
authority to recruit negroes Tor the Federal
army. These officers are seized by order OF
Gen, schofeld, or his subordlnates, their orders
from Gen. Thomas taken from them, them.
selyes Impris soped, and the negroes returned 10
their rebel masters. Let me give one or two
| examples.
Last Saturday week, at Macon city, Major
Murphey, an East Tennesseeau, armed with doc.
nnsnfs from the War Department and General
Thon,ds, arrived at Ascon Wtfh q company ot
G lored recruits, In company with captain and
lieutenant. He was arrested by Gen. Guitar,
Adiatanf G,nerdl Thomas papers taken from,
him, thrust into Jail, and the negroes taken from
him and . portion OF them rsimrned TO their
rebel masters On Monday he was taken from
prison, placed on the Hannibal and 81. Joseph
railway with sealed orders TO leave the State
by Quincy and never return.
few weeks ago Lieutanant Harshey, simi
larly armed with authority, was arrested,
thrown into Palmyra jail, Adjufdnt General
Thonaas's pdpers taken from him, The negroes
returned 10 their rsbel masters, and he was de-
MED knowledge OF the charge against him.
Gen. Guitars orn troops, learning that the
Lieutenant's only offence was recruiting ne
groes In q legitimate manner, ia the prese"ce q
their officers rushed TO the prison, with the butt
Of their guns broke in he door aud fred the cap
tire Lieuendsf.
I could, did space permit, give many In.
stances of q similar nature. j could record
how negro teamsters, In the employ Of the
United States Government, have been taken
from the backs Of Government mules and re.
turned to rebel masters; how rebel bushwhack
ers are permitted to walk about on parole,
while Union or radical men are incarcerated In
dirty dungeons with bushwhackers and vermIn,
for no other offence than raising their voices
against such acts a. above described and de-
nounciug . policy that is so at variance with
the policy Of the Administration.
might further instance lbsfaaspss Doto
,iou, rebel nlmed Wood, s6pfmed Nth arms I,
his hands at Sssfp Jartson, who has been ap
pointed u ~ position Of Colonel Of tie llh Ms
solsst cavalry, raised and at present COMMANDED
fby the loyal Lieut.. Col. Stephens; but you
space will not permit, and I must conclude b,
declaring that every member Of this delegation
while opposed to the policy pursued regarding
their State, are AZ loyal to the Adninistrdfio'
ond true to the principles snaneiatsd BY the Proc
lamdfion Of freedom as any man rho bredthes N
pure air Of Missouri.
They do not come here as revolutionists
They come claiming the right as loyal men
who have borne the brunt OF battle In Missouri
who wear the scars of Camp jackson, Prairi
Grove, Wilson's Creek, Boonville, Lexington
and other battie.fsids Of the war, to be heard
determined TO stand by the dag Ill death, an,
save the State for the Federal Union, even |
their sufferings are increased four-fold.
may further state that f'cerfy.sepen out o
the sepenty-ons delegates now here potsd for m,
Lincoln at The last prtsidentidl election at the ria
Of assassination. Col. Krekcl, one Of the dele
cation, was Lincoln sloctor, and these are tn
men, forsooth, who are denounced as faction
enemies Of our noble President.
Yours, &c. J. Z. PARKER DOYLE.
