THE GLORY OF MISSOURI.

A short time previous TO the demonstrations
Of welcome TO our Generals on furlough at
St. Louis, a large and enthusiastic meeting
was held to welcome home the veteran SOL
diery Of Missouri, and to take such further
action as might seem proper for the conSia-
Grafton of the meeting. We copy the pa1rI-
otto and noble resolutions adopted "h'cn
ring with the true sentiment of those speak
ing from prominent standpoint between
Tho loyal and the disatfected States Of the
Union, and who are able to appreciate the
blessings Of free Government and free insti-
buttons:
Reso!reG That mex; 10 our country, the men
who have volunteered 10 defend il against traitors
and periled their lives upon the hard:tousnt ae!is
Of rhe rebellion TO uphold the Flag of the Union
deserve place IN the hearts Of loyal men. and il
Is rrninently Just and proper that upon their re-
turn to their homes. Ihcy should DE welcomed by
their fellow.ci'iEens with open hands and full
hearts,
boas; Of the achievements of her loyal Soldery.
Drawer men have not lived, nor have more con
Spicuous examples Of disinterested patriotism
been furnished IN the history Of any state or ma
ton than they have given. and we esteem 1t pTi-
vileSe As well ~ 4 duty 20 do them honor upon
their return among IL.
Rssoivti That in re.enlis;ing as veterans, the
r-pa; minority OF M,SOuri's Union volunteers
have established q double claim upon our erati-
:ude and made it >iill more incumbent upon rs TO
stand bv them rs soldiers and citizens: that as
the former they are entitled 70 be sustained and
srrerythrnct BY every influence At cur com
rnand; and IL the latter, in ;he full exercise Of
all their political rights.
PATRIOTS resolutions like the above, COM
ing from such q quarter, are likely TO inspire
confidence and ardor in the older and more
substantial States Of the Union, and to pro-
mote the general advancement Of our arms
We look upon Missouri as being one of the
finest ornaments we have in the National
Commonwealth. Not like most Of the bor-
der States remaining in a neutral position,
but from the first her people seem 10 have
understood the tue state Of affairs, and
crappled with the monster Secession as be-
came her duty, and TO her everlasting glory
and honor. The veteran soldiers have signi-
fed their willingness TO re-enlist in the ar
mics of the Union, and TO free the soil of the
States OF the tread Of rebels. Her light is as
beautiful as the rising sun beside the flicker
ings OF other States whose pretended loyalty
has weakened the cause it has done so much
10 advance and strengthen.

THE DRAFT OF NEVADA ON CALL
FORNIA.

People to the number OF thousand 4 week
are arriving in this Territory. We might
properly apply the fact to this part
of the Territory; for, within the last
three weeks about three thousand
persons have arrived in Gold Hill and
Virginia City, from California. The spring
run has but just now commenced, and are
not the indications Of an uuexampled, ire
mendous tide, overwhelming to all former be-
ginaings OF immigration: Not only this as
wonderful matter, but see the tide which has
been flowing in here al winter. The routes
between the Territory and California have
not been obstructed TO any noticeable extent
since the winter of 1868. The vehicles Of
passenger conveyance have been run right
through on summer schedule time, and the
diminution Of travel in consequence Of wealth
er, since the busy season Of last year, is scarce
worthy Of note. We hear from every section
Of the ether side that the stronges: tendency
Of the public mind is toward this, and other
eastern side territory, in more intense de-
gree than was ever witnessed before. Every
body has at least desire to visit and see this
great land Of adventure and success; not for
the reason that California has failed in any
branch of her richness; not that she is no
longer brightly attractive as delightful re-
gion for homes, but because her entire peo-
pie feel desire TO go somewhere, either to
see or to try something new. The desire is
natural one, and it is 4 good one, for the
points Of adventure are not alluring decep-
tions, and the points of departure are not
such failures, or.So far distant, as to preclude
partial and yet substantial return Of alb
sent numbers. Nevada will not injure Cali
fornia BY the drafts OF people which we are
making upon her population; but the rise
aud progress of the former will eventuate in
the rise and progress Of the latter Indeed,
it may well De asserted that the interests Of
the two are identical and inseparable-and
may they intercomnunicate, rise and shine'
intermingle and draw on each other forever
