The Bushwhsck,rs OF Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, July 20.-Private letters from
Lexington say that 300 bushwhackers are In
Ray county. Some Federal troops had fight
with them on Sunday near Richmond, in which
eight Of our men are reported 10 have been
killed. Three hundred guerrillas were at Elk
horn on Monday. About thirty bushwhackers
killed nine citizens of Carroll county, robbed
the mail coach and passengers, and did con.
siderable promiseuous thiGying last week. AL
| the persons murdered had seen military ser.
! vice and were prominent Union men.
The St Joseph Herald Of yesterday says that
| city Is full of refugees from the lower coun.
ties, and hundreds have gone to Leavenworth
and other places. The panic extends through
out the whole country. All business houses In
Weston are closed, and the citizens are in con
stant fear OF a raid.
About fourteen buildings werO burned a
Platte City by the Federal troops, including
the Platte Se,ltiatl office and few other houses
belonging 10 Union men. Col. Ford tried Ia
save the Sentinel office, but the fire made toe
rapid progress.
A letter, without date, signed by Thornton
II. Todd, commanding, was found at Plattt
City Station. They were about TO concentrate
and said they would cross the Missouri rive
below Parksville, ford the Kansas river ives
of Wyandotte, and accomplish their triI
through Kansas. This letter shows they In
tended, after q few days plundering, to joiI
the rebel army South, etfecting their escap
through Kansas. Thornton had been in Plat
and Clay eight months, and recruited 30,
men, and during this time has been aided, pro
tected, concealed and subsisted by the cllizen
| OF those counties.

Information received from headquarters
Army OF the Potomac, dated July 18th, says I;
The usual quiet still prevails along the lines,
and were Il not for the sound Of an occasional
gun and some picket firing at a few points, one
would suppose that no enemy was within miles
OF US.
Gen. Burnslde's men made the most OF the
ruse, the enemy taking every opportunity to
fire at the colored troops that occupy position
In his front, and OF course, the ilre Is returned
with interest, but without much damage on
either side. No deserters come at this part Of
the lines, as they say they have no chance 10
get through without running the risk OF being
shot, the negroes being so constantly on tht
alert. But they are coming In at other points
daily In squads. A sergeant and his squad
came In this morning, and all OF them report
thst thousands are ready TO leave as fast as op
portunity presents.
They come principally from Georgia, Florida
and Alabama regiments, and an officer OF a
regiment from the former State Is said TO have
gone to his superior officer, q day or two since
and reported that II his company was not soor
relieved he would have none TO relieve, as they
would be all gone 10 the enemy. These de
serters state that they are very short OF pro
Visions, particularly vegetables, and they seem
glad enough when they get Into our lines,
Strict orders have been given, they say, that
they shall not hold intercourse with our mel
on the picket line or exchange papers, and on,

and brought q paper with him, taking on'
back, was caught and made TO stand on the toI

An attack from the enemy has been expecte'
for the past two days, aud last night, from

have had appearances OF rain all this after

A SURE REMEDY.

There is considerable excitement In Phila-
delphia, and other cities, about the high price
Of lager beer, ales, liquors, &c.
The large consumption has produced this.
There is a sure remedy. Let every consumer
stop drinking. If he will do 1t, at the end Of
one year he will be healthier, happier, and
richer. This advice costs only two cents at
