ST. LOUIE, April q, 1854.
Azcyiyal Of bushwhacking On small scalo
Is greatly feared In North Missouri. Colonel
Jackman, notorious bashwhacker, recently
crossed tho Missouri river between Glasgow
md Brunswick, with two hundred men.
This report caused considerable alarm in the
town Of Glasgow. Immediate measures
were taken to prevent an attack. Tho Coy
ernmcnt property, mostly bcloging to the
State, In tho place, was gathered together in
the middle Of the public squire, and the State
militia kept under arms for many horrs, bnt
Jackman came net He Is too well &C.
quainted with the disloyal element OF the
strong s1aye-holding counties OF Howard and
Boone to attack Glasgow with two hundred
men, when In weeks time he could have in
lis gang SIX hundred OF the disloyal scoun-
drels Of those two conntiee who are in great
pending draft This affair Is he principal
guerilla movement l.tely agftated, but when
such grang is reported In q dls1oyal vicinity,
1t invariably happens that the small If take
the cue mud commit all sorts OF dcprcdations
Tho certainty that large proportion ofthe
so-called. conservatives In this State are at
=. heart rebel 81 sympath1zcrs Is apparent from the
ability of such . anotorious fellow % Jackman
to e1iet in Howard county. These rebel
sympathfecrs are conservatives from neceasl.
t. They are either too cowardly to join the
rebels outright, or they have no opportunity.
Their tolerntion Of gucrillas Is double folly,
for they not only commit themselves to the
charge Of sympathy with rebels, but expose
their own property TO the danger Of destruc-
ton Of our cavalry In pursuit Of guert1las.
There nre mnny more ench counties In North
Missouri. They stand in singular contrastto
thu example Of Grcene county, in the south
west, though that county il not one-quarter
20 populons as Howard and Boone. There
out and hunt them. and FOR a yeaf Greene has
not suffered SO much from gucrallas as How
ard. These conservative chaps arc the mer
who admire ,McClellan-the men In ehsrt
who would vote for Mcclellan because they
cannot vote for jeff. Davis
The enrolled militia question is getting In
terrestipg in this Vicinity. The $50 eremp-
tlon fec las been paid SO freely during the
last few weeks. that since april 1st tho State
has received over $4,000 from this source.

4th Of July there Is to be grand encamp--

thrcc-foufths Of this number have no mus-

Sufficient proof that the enrolled militia Of

The conscrv ,tiyes have been trying to raise
q fund Of s100, 900 to publish new anti
German paper, q special advocate ofthe over
throw Of German Influence in politics. Thus
far they have not succeeded, and present ap-
pearonces indicate that the attempt will be a
complete fzzle. The owners Of the onion
regard that paper as pretty good anti-Ger-
man paper, and will hardly back the at
tempt to establish riVnl paper as complf.

radical measures in this State, They are
doggcd and 0. stlnato on that point, and they
would 70 for Lincoln to man If they were
satisfied that the President was at heart a
