p1S"A friend has handed us the following
which is from the Springfield (Mo.) Journ-
al, and which We publish for the benefit and
information Of our readers. AS will DO
seen, it is from the Grand Jury Of Greene
county, and, the Journal says at is u true
reflex of the feeling that animates all the
loyal men of the Southwest:
State of Missouri, / Circuit Court July
County of Greene. Term, 1866.
WE, the Grand Jurors, empannelcd
sworn and charged to enquire in and for
the county Of Greene, having now hnisncd
our labors, respectfully state: That we be-
lievo the peace, good order and security OF
the county Of Greene, and adjoining coun-
ties of the Southwest, imperatively require
and demand that those men who have left
their homes in Missouri, and been engaged
in rebellion against the Government Of the
United States, ought not return to the South
west; that the loyal men cannot live in
peace and harmony with those who have
been engaged in the murder of their fathers
brothers and sons; men who have stolen
property, burned their homes and been en-
| gagged in preparation of every crime pro-
hibited by the laws of God, the laws Of our
country. The return of such men into their
midst, and their reception as citizens Of
our beloved country, consecratcd by the
best blood of loyal men to the holy cause
Of free Government and equal rights, is q
hooking cruelty and insult to every Union
man in the Southwest, and may only re-
suit in discord, strife and blood-shed. That
the loyal men have sacraiiced everything,
except their freedom, that men hold dear,
in defence Of their country, and its free
government, and they cannot, in justice to
themselves or children, be expected to di-
vide them with men thus stepped in crime;
men who have for the past four years been
waging the most fiendish war that ever dis
graced Il civilized people, and that for the
sole purpose Of establishing o despotism
based upon slavery, an institution discard
ed by the civilized world, and abhorred by
all just men. Let these whipped rebels,
thieves and murderers seek homes where
their crimes are less known, and by q life
of shame and contrition expiate their
crimes, if they can, and leave those who
have been true to their country in its hour
OF peril, to enjoy the fruits Of their labors
for peace, free from the presence of those
who have wronged and insulted them.

The following item is from the same pa
per-:
Lately some of our 'erring southern
brethren" have come home and it is quite
amusing to see the meeting between them
and some of their old friends. Some meet
them cordially, while others make no DEM
onstrations, except the lingering grasp of
the hand and silent welcome with the eye
while others get close enough to take their
friend by the hand and at the same time
casting an eye around to see if any one is
looking at them. There is another class
we would not be so impolite as to say 10y
al-who stand off and wonder when, and
from what cause, these cordial greetings
originate, and conclude they "can see it."
They say but little-feel great deal.
