R9-There seems to be most deploraLle
state of affairs in Missouri. A large por.
ton of the state is Overrun by rowing
bands of Confederates, and hundreds of the
people are jpining them in plumber, devas-
tation and rapine. Villages are burnt,
crops destroyed, murder and robbery per-
petrated, and the Government forces are
powerless to stop or punish the atrccious
work. Indeed, it is difficult to tell who
commits the greatest cutrages, the rebels
or the U. S. troops but between the two a
large portion Of the State has become one
vast scene of blood, and pillsge, and devas-
ta,ion. and ruin. 1t is estimated that there
are 90 coo Confederate soldiers in the
State, while tho U S. forces are not half
that number.

The Boston Traveller gives currency to
some very extraordinary statements re-
speeding the army of the Potomac. 1t
says thatthe private soldiers have given
their officers quietly to understand, that
they must not expect them to assault i'm
pregnable earthworks hereafter that the
campaign 50 far has been one Of useless
butchery, in which no regard has been
paid to the lives of the soldiers. The same
paper hints, as did the Tribune the other
flay, that the reason the colored soldiers
were given the post of honor at Peters,
burg was because the white troops were
indtsposed.to make the assault. Of course

The Rochester Democrat, another Eepub>

that an unusual number of designations
of officers has beeni rendered, amorg whom

Great Indian WarAntIcIpaled.
Special Dispatch to the Chicago Journal.
ST. I.ouia Auoant IL


st. Louis, August Is.
Information from the plains indicates
concerted action among the IEdians, aud
preparations for The most extensive war
ever yet waged against the whites. Reb-
bels have been among them distributing
gold, stating that the Federal Congress
passed bill depriving them of their land,
that the Yankees, intend to drive them
from, the country, urging them to take up
arms, and that the South would protect
them ard give them the West for their
special use For several months past the
Indians have been moving their families
away from the travelled routes, and it is
very seldom that epy Of them now are
seen. Everything leads TO the belief that
the Indians are determined upon war, and
that tue determination has been brought
about by rebel emissaries.
General Curtis has returned to Fort
Leavenwortb. after trip cf over eight
hundred miles. New stations have been
esta blished on the Santa ee and Smoky
Hill roads, asd everything put in trim for
vigorous movements against the Indians.
DuS:ng the late robberies BY these savages,
two hundred borses were captured from
the Government, eight hundred from the
Santa Fe AID Kansas Stage Companies,
| and from citizens.

REcLALMING HIS OwN-Gen Johnston
Of the rebel army was resident Of Fred
srick, Maryland, before the war and his
house there was 'confscated" by the Gov
eminent and sold to "loyaP' Yaukee.-
When the oOnfederates took possession Of
Frederick during their recent raid"
the Washington Union says Gen. Johnston
went to his house, introduced himself 10
the new owner, and demanded the rent for
fourteen months, at the rate Of 500 per
Month, giving him thirty minutes to pay
it. The money was paid. Gen. }. then
gave him two hours time to remove bis
goods out, which was done. Gen. j then
set FIRE to the house and it was soon totally
destroyed This shows the risk which
those men take who purchase ''confscatedD
property within the reach of rebel "raid-
ers."

QUEsTIoN AND AN,wER The fact that
the rebel papers and Tiers speak 10 high
terms of McCIellan's eeneralship is held,
By the Republicans, to be proof Of his dis.
loyalty. They ask why the rebels praise
him if lie is IA true man. To show the al.
surdity of the insinuatOn made by this
question, it is only necessary to ask auoth-
er-Why do we all say that Lse is the
ablest Confederate General? Our so be-
lioving and saying does not imply sus
picion of his fidelity to the rebel cause, nor
tend to damage him in rebel minds. 1t
takes knavish and malignant abolition par
tsans, more intent upon personal and par-
ty schemes than the elevation of tie couu-
try, to stOop to such vile expedients to in
jure patriotic officer.
