The horrors OF the present invasion Of
this State By the rebels under Price are daily
accumulating. A few days ago It was re-
ported that Bill Andersen had jolned Price,
but it Feens the Inter had better use for him
OF his old hunting ground IN North Missouri
and he sent BIZ back again. Anderson, no
doubt, received full Instructions what to do.
BE told a citizen whom he mistook ior
secessiontst, that he had orders to raise hi
In North Missouri, and he Intend ed to do 1t.
His first strike was at Dauville, In Mont
gomery county. which place he captured. A
few local mallt1a assembled In the block
house and fired few shots In defense of
their homes, but Anderson's men set fire to
the enclosure and 1t was burned to the
esound with seventeen inmates. Before he
left town he killed FIVE others, including
boy twelve years old. All the county records
were destroyed, and dwellings robbed A
eeminsr5 building was untoucheI, for
wordsr.. At Florence md High Bill, on the
North Missouri railroad, they committed
similar outragee, On Saturday Anderson di.
yided his gang. One portion were oyerta-
ken the same day by militia force, and
eleven Of them Ei1led, without loss to our
eide.
Before Shelby occupied Boonville, Captain
Shoemaker, who vas In command Of the
m.litia at that place, conscnpted several Icb-
el citizens and made them work digging
trenches. Shoemaker had but one hundred
ard f1fty men under him, and when Shelby
drew up with nearly two thousand cavslry
In eight Shoemaker surrendered, on the
premise By Shelby that his men should be
treated as prisoners Of war. After the cap
turt Shoemaker and his men were all placed
ia corral and guarded b. portion Of
rebt1 corscrip;s who had been impressed by
Shoemaker, tried to force the guard to take
the Captain ont and hang him TheY were
beaten Of, but going to Fagin'6 divi.ion pro-
cured some stragglers, and this time sue

1ahor to ketp the rebels out OF their own
bones. Shelby is said to have been exceed.
pE1ators Of tie outrage should be punished
because he lad promised Shoemaker his pro-
tecticn.
Price kept his headquarters nearly all last
week at Boonvllle. The secRsh women from
the c.untry around visited Price in large
City Hotel, and parties arrived from Boon
vile declare that Price was embraced and
Kissed by the she devils one and all. Hear
ing, doubtless, Of movements on onr side, he
pulled up stakes On Saturday morning, and
started westward, With Faein's Division in
advance. Fngtn captured seaalts, on Thurs.
day, but dia not destroy any rolling stock on
the Pacific Railroad, as It had been safely run
back to Upton. This Division was reported
III Independence, on Saturday. II this be
true, the rebels have passed around Lextng-
ton without demonstrating against it. Price

amy, is net mors than day's march behiud

tion that the rebels will be compelled to
fight or run by to borrow or next Qay.
Cur movements have been yelled in secrecy
60 tur as the Tnbic nre concerned, but the
rebels are doubtless, as usual, well posted.
General Pleasanton has a large body Of cav
airy in The field wen toward the front, and
being an officer of experience In that arm Of
the service, he will probably ASCERTAIN tue
whereabouts Of the rebels in very brief
time. TIE gallant veterans Of the 10TH Army

Gtntra Rceec1ans WAS ut Upton on Satur-
day, and has the Union troops SO disposed
that the rebels can Lot retreat the Way they
came.
Genera: Curtis Is understood to have con.
siderable force ready to meet til: rebels on
the kansas b1rdcr, and the tide has at length
turned In our faEcr.
The tufIerirg In the interior Is beyond the
power OF 6esctibtion. Paris, miserable se.
ceeeion town In Missouri. has been captured
bJ 400 rebels under Majors. The garrison Of
about fifty men surrendered. Let Us hope
the rebels will clean cut Paris and all other
rebel ntste. The few Uulonists who ever
lived in HoDtoe, Andrian, Boone, Randolph,
Charlton, and Howard Counties, have either
Joined the srmy or skedaddled before this.

zers, and they will pay the cost Of their sym
Dirt d5 Hl]l be carried # to join the rebel If
ny. Price says If they arc true Southerners
they canrot object; If they ere not they must
leave the State. In this Way Mcclellan is
daily losing votes.
The rebels have damaged the Pacific Rail-
road to the amount of $500, 900. They have
buried every bridge from the Gasconade to
sedalia, including the long bridges over the
GsEconAde, OsnEe, MoIlan. Lamine and Of
t4r riverf-hesi:es burning many tanks, sta-
zion houses, destroying culgerts, freight cars
and engines. This Ices fal1s upon The rail-
once a stockholder. The North Missouri
Railroad has been 30 far injured that no
-lrains excepting for military purposes have
bten run upon the road above ST. Charles.
The actual extent Of the damage hiss not been
reported. The Iron Mountain Railroad sut-
iIg 1ebn1lt at Government expense for nIli-
tn1y purposes. The Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad Ia not Injured Jet, bnt prob

toward Boston concern.
Ourfotces and the local militia are grad
ually recovering possession Of the territory
mill lately held By the rebels, and clean
work has been made IN several localities Of
the traitore who remained at home during
the rebel raid. Consequently great howl
Union Lesguers have commented to punish
Democrats. In Jefferson county ave OF thess
Mone1 Democrats have been killed By 10
ju1ed Union men, and that IL only the begi1-
ming. Missouri is not big enough for Union
men and traitors, and Que side or the other
eeance arrives there will be many hundred
| less Mcclellan men in Missouri than noW.
The necessities Of the situation have com
| pelled Gen. Roeecrans to concentrate troops
| 1t important p. iIts. The abandonment of
nany small towns has made them open to
! gue1ll1as, and there is more pluude11ng going
On In the heart Of the State than ever. IN
Ion farmers who have fled from North Mis-
souri etate that to keep horse ia 80 impos-
Eitility. Many complaints ase heard OF the
perHdy Of reEident traitors, who are con-
stantlJ conveying informaion Of onr torces
to Price. These scoucdrels are never molest-
ed By the rebels, but as soon AZ the present
raid Is over the Union militia will square ac-
counts in q bloody manner with their traitor

John B. Clark, e1-member Congress, who
/ formerly lived ID Randolph, made raid tato
North Missouri last week, but soon returned.
He made q speech at Boanville telling his
hea1ere that be came to Missouri to stay, aud
I ttat the combined armies OF Grant, Sherman
and Rosecraps tould not drive them from the
State any quicker than theE chose to 60. Tnia
is the Identical bravado the rebels used to
| talk before and after the Lexington siege.
| All excitement in st. Louts mas subBided.
| Two brtgades Of enrolled militia, abont 7,0G0
in number all told, were raised, and are now
r. ratrfpg the Pacific railroad. The majority

their families arein real distress. A suascrip-
tIon has been set On foot to relieve 1hon.
