that the rebel forces under Magruder
marching towards Missouri, were at.
tackled and defeated by Gen. Steele on
White River on Tuesday last. Moth
ing could be obtained at headquarters

safety of the place. Major Gen. Pleas

Gen. Mower, with troops from Ar
kansas, had at last accounts arrived at
Convent Point, Mo-, and active opera
tons against Price may now soon be
expected, Gen. A. j. Smith being OH
the move, and other troops co-opera-
ting. When Price was last heard from
he was approaching Jefferson City, and
it is probable that he has attacked our
position at that place before this. Con-
tidence is felt by the commanding Cen
eral at Jefferson City, in his ability to
hold the place. nr1

An Appeal.

To the Republicans and War Demo
crats--to all staunch friends Of the
Union cause, by whatever political
names they are called-to all good
citizens who have heretofore cheerful
" sustained the Government in its ef.
forts to conquer IFS enemics-we make
on earnest and solemn appeal to heal
all past divisions, and. in spite of the
apathy and lukewarmness Of the past
few months, now to close the ranks,
and henceforward to march shoulder TO
shoulder to the great struggle Of No
yember next. Let there be no disaf.
lection in the only party competent to
save rne counxy. Let suCu affena-
tions az now exist be forgotten. The
one and undivided duty Of all loyal
men is now to unite cordially. strenu-
ously. enthusiastically to give victory
to the platform and candidates Of Bal
timore, and overwhelming defeat to
the platform and candidates of Chica.
go. Between the two, the choice is
between patriotism and treason. be-
tween Slavery and Liberty, between
a country and no country. between
jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln.
Choose We this day whom We will
serve !" The prospect of victory is
brilliant. The outrageous character
of the Chicago platform. and sunshiny
OBJECT of our late victories by land aud
sea have rekindled the old enthusiasm
in loyal breasts. We summon all our
friends to hard work. Organize I The
cause demands every mans best serv-
ice. Let every loyalist with tongue
in his head go TO every doubtful man
in his Beighborhood, and reason the
case with him earnestly aud caDdidly.
All men who will listen to reason can
be made to see the turpitude Of the
Chicago scheme for the overthrow Of
the Republic Nor are ministers in
their pulpits to be exempt from the
needed service. Let them take At and
early opportunity to make known the
Christian duties OF a citizen to his
country in such q crisis as this. If
any pew-holder 10 afraid of politics in
the pulpit. and stays away on that
account. let not the minister be out
witted by this poor stratagem. but i'm
mediately visit him at his shop or
house--in no case letting any man
find corner Of refuge from the search
ing argument and appeal. II every
good citizen shall do his duty there
will then follow long years Of Peace
aud Liberty, 10 which they may reflect
on the sweetness of having served ones
country at time when she most need
ed service. God save the Republic.
