its honorable exploits the sobriquet of tn
i "bloody," called upon Senator Lane At tn
Lindell Hotel last evening. They wer,
accompanied by fine band of music, who's,
inspiring tones added TO the enthuslasm o.
the large crowd which had gathered il
front of the hotel to welcome the distiu
guished Senator from our neighborine
State.
Gen. Lane on coming forward was re-
ceived with salutation of cheers and ex
clamations Of delight, which made the
spacious corridors Of the Lindell resound
with echoes which, we venture to say have
never yet been called forth in honor Of
any champion of freedom. Gen. Lane
spoke in substance as follows:
do not feel as buoyant tonight as on
former occasions, but feel as confident Of
success as ever. believe tina, the mis-
fortunes that are being visited upon Us at
this moment are for our good, and will re.
suit fiuaily in our success. Let reverses
come let God visit US with meri,ed

The gallant 10th was part of the Lane
brigade which came into Missouri white
organization, but returned surrounded with
a cloud of black witnesses to the value Of
its services to the cause of freedom and the
country. Had that brigade been permit-
ted to remain In Missouri, this rebel-ridden
State would now be blessed with peace and
prosperity. All that is wanted in North
west Missouri to restore quietness is the
Lane brigade.
He that calls himself Peace Democrat,
is cowardly traitor. He that would COM
promise with traitors IN arms is worthy to
bear the yoke of Jeff Davis tyranny for
himself and for his children. The re-
helIion must be crushed. or it would crush
US. Applause. He that would make
peace while while the shackles remain on
a single slave is not only traitor 10 his
but his children. Would you be
faithful 10 your country and posterity, you
must pursue this war with unrele nting Wig
