ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3, 1853.
Gen. Dasidson's cavalry diyision which left
Pilot Knob several weeks ago, and arrived at
Chalk Bluff on the 21st ult., has reached Hell
era in safety. This movement dissipatcs all
hope Of raid on Little Rock atpresent. The
cavalry under Gen. Davidson was drawn from
the forces employed and needed in this State
to operate against gucrillas. What advant-
are to the service it Hns to have this cavalry
ride from Southeast Missouri to Helena Is q
military mystery. .
The Interior is still agitated by guerillas.
Gen. Brown communicates an authenticated
statement Of rebel atrocities in the town Of
Florence, Morgan county, which almost sur
I,ass belief. That town Was entered uuexpec-
tedly at sunrise, few days ago, and the iu-
hatitants forced into square, SO that
nobody could escape TO give infor1na-
ton to a neishboring military pest:
Having i1nbibeG all the whisky they could
drink, the guer,lIas ordered the male citizens
to form lie. They were then called OIL to
take an oath of allegiance to the Southern
Confederacy. Several who refused were shot
women and children who witnessed this muir
der, probably Interrupted any further bloody
proceedings by their Screams aud entrcatieG.
This rebel crew ended their work by indis:
crininate p1under and robbery They burned
several houses, and Threatened to shoot thu
first pcreon trying to e1tinguish the flames.
The parties were recognized NJ former resi-
dents Of tie country. Is this civil warfare?
Should Euch ecoundrcls be treated as prison
crs Of wars 1t is for severity to these aud
similar wrttchcs, that Gen Ben Loan became
obnoxious to E1: GOV. King and his conserva-

Parties from the interior reprceent that
North Mo. il full OF rcbel recruiting officers,
whoee hpccess, ho~ ever, in drumming up re.
cruiis for the Confederate army Is very slim.
Al the rebels In Missouri who are inclined to
fight for their SO called rights, haye long since
joined guerilla bands or found their way
bopthward. Probably the leading rebels en-
courage the formation Of guerilla gangs more
with q view Of gathering recruits ulunstely
than for any other cause. The natural end Of
BY the "Yankces" is the Confederate army.
50 lorg IS our armies In the field meet with
successes, the rampant bu6hThackibg spirit

Tho reinstatement Of negroes, who hare
received free papers, or who have been for
mouths abandoned by their mastera, Is In
measure ceased. The matter began to attract
too much notice. As an example OF how It
ia done, one case maJ be cited 4 few weeks
ago, negro woman formerly belonging to
Prince L. Hudgins. expelled from the State
Convention for disloyalty, was arrested on an
affidavit of Hudgins' son, and her free papers.
issued last August by the Provost Marshal
General, Col. Farrar, taken from her: Before
the proper authorities were aware OF the out
rage, the woman vas removed from jail and
spirited of through the inatrumentality Of a
slave dealer named Eads, who cannot now be
found. Several cases have been reported
where free papers have been ignored
ard negroes carried of at night.
The feeling Of security among slavehoiders
is 20 great That a Mis.issippian, arrested for
allegiance, met his alAye woman in the street
ard told her that he would hare to get an Or
der to reclaim her in spite Of her free papers.
By their fruits eha1I ye- knew them! This is
the product Of conservatism in Missouri!

Vicksburg, was not hat 1t would bare been
