Missoori is free State, and great is
the rejoicing thereat. Her Constitu-
tional Convention, by a vote Of sixty
to four, have passed the following Or
dinance:
"Be it ordained by the people of the
State Of Missouri in convention as
scmbled, that hereafter in this State
there shall be neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except in punish
ment of crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted, and all per-
sons held to service or labor as slaves
are hereby declared Free f.FF
Thus did the convention sweep away
the peculiar institution in Missouri,
and the Governor has issued his proc
lamation accordingly. The radical
party, of which Governor Thomas C.
Fletcher was the chosen champion in
the recent canvass, has obtained CON-
plete control Of every department of
the State. 1t is for Missouri. in the
next four years, under q favoring ma
tional administration, to show the ad-
vantages of freedom over slrvery, eco
nomically as well as morally.
A despatch from St. Louis says the
newly elected Governor Fletcher has
already made a list of Copperhead
State Militia officers who are to be su-
perseded by radical officers. Consider
able excitement prevails among the
State militia on this account. Eight
secession women, residents of Clay
county, who have husbands in the reb-
ell army and who were very conspicu-
Gus in helping the rebels during the
late raid of Price, have been sent to
Memphis to go through the lines as
exiles. One other arrested at the same
time has been temporarily paroled to
allow her friends time to raise some
money in her behalf. ......~.....-

Tho Indian War.

On the 7th inst. party of Indians
attacked the overland mail express
near Julesburg, Colorado Territory,
and robbed the mail and express.
They also attacked mule train, kill.
ing one man and wounding another.
The troops at the military post there,
numbering from so to 80 men, imme-
diately started to the relief of the
white settlers in the vicinity, and drove
the Indians to the bluffs, mile back,
where the Indians were reinforced to
the number of 500, and in turn drove
the troops back to the post. The In
dams then entered the stage station in
large numbers, and after destroying
all the furniture and breaking all the
windows in the buildings, set them on
fire. They also destroyed q large
amount of telegraph material. A well
directed volley of musketry from the
troops at the post soon drove them
from the station. In the running fight
on the retreat of our troops IS Indians
were killed, including the principal
chief. Nineteen soldiers and citizens
were killed. A general massacre and
destruction of the whites was only
prevented by the perseverance and
bravery of our troops and efficient ar
tillery fire. The Indians retired in a
southerly direction. This is by far the
most determined incursion yet made
by the Indians.

Congress.

The Senate has passed the resolu-
ton for the abrogstion' Of the Recip-
rocity treaty with Canada, by vote
tof 81 to 8. after protracted and in.
teresting, discussion. ~ ~
Mr.. Harlan of Iowa, called up the
resolution in relation to the officers
and soldiers Of Col. Chivington's regi-
ment and suspending their pay and
emoluments, until an investigation of
their conduct towards certain Indian
tribes in Coroado takes place. TT
Mr.. Harlan said the resolution only
proposed suspension of payment ull-
til the acts were investigated. The
soldiers who took part in the transac-
ton were hundred days men. He be-
lieved they were organized with the
distinct understanding that they were
to engage in this raid. They returned
to camp loaded with plumber, consist
ing of ponies, buffalo robes and Mexi-
can dollars. '.''s-
Mr.. Nesmith, Of CAL, was opposed
to immediate action. The men were
simply obeying orders. There was q
great deal of misplaced sympathy ex.
tended to the Indians. He had seen
none of the generous and elevated SEN
timents in these people of which he
had read so much, but had found them
treacherous, thieving and murderers,
and he believed it would be well for
the country if they were all extermin-
ated. He had tried to civilize the In
dams by translating Christ's Sermon
on the Mount for them, but he never
could impress Christian doctrines up
on them, although he had civilized
them to some extent with powder and
ball. .,,,,
Mr.. Nesmith quoted several instan.
ces of Indian barbarity, and argued
that every attempt to treat them with
kindness had been unsuccessful
Mr.. Doolittle, of Wis, denied that q
private soldier was bound to kill wo-
men and children if commanded to do
SO by his superior officers. A Court
martial would not convict soldier for
refusing to obey such orders. He was
in favor of the resolution.
The resolution was passed.
The House was still busy discussing
the anti-slavery amendment to the
Constitution. Strong hopes are enter
tanned that it will pass.
Mr.. Hubbard, Of Iowa, introduced
bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior to institute geological surveys
of the Black Hill, in Dacotah, and ap-
propriating $4,000 for that purpose.

Gen. HRnc0cks
Gen Hancock is among the bravest and best
officers We have, and It will be an honor to be
numbered In his command.
In view Of the impending draft, great ex-
ertions should be put forth by our counties
and by individuals, to fill up, at least, a regi-
ment, for this command. Great care will be
observed in crediting recruits for this Corps to
their proper localities, and every man procur-
ed for the service will relieve one from the en-
rc!lc.cnt from which our quota is to be furn-
ished.
Local bounties should be offered, and gen
eral effort be made to stimulate recruiting In
this direction.
This Corps will undoubtedly be one of the
best in the United States Army, and the repu-
tation Of the commander rs one Of the noblesi
gentleman in the land, and rs brave and &C
complished officer, affords one of the strongest
motives for the desire which this Department
has, to see this State represented in this Corps
1t is hoped that our veteran soldiers will
carefully consider the obvious advantages tc
be gained by enlisting in this command.
This Department will issue recruiting com.
missions to all persons who have seen the re-
quired service and are properly recommended.
Applicants will carefully observe the follow.

Gen. Butler.

The public were startled some days
since by the announcement that Gen.
Butler had been relieved Of his com
mand Of the Army Of the James and
ordered to report at Lowell, Massa.
chusetts, The supposition is that the
occasion for this step on the part Of
the War Departmet, is the failure of
Gen. Butler to cooperate with Porter
in the late attack upon Wilmington.
The statements now specifically made
professedly by authority, that on the
9Th inst, Lieut.. Gen. Grant indicated
to the President his earnest desire that
Maj. Gen. Butler be forthwith relieved
of his command, giving reason there.

wishes of the General.in-Chief of the
armies of the United States, in mat
tiers purely military, and after consul.
tation with Acting Secretary of War
Dana, and Maj. Gen. Halleck, the Sec
rotary Of War being absent, the Presi-
dent, on the It'll inst, authorized the
issue by the Adjutant General Of gen.
eral order No. /. The order required
him to proceed to Lowell, Mass, the
place of his residence, and after his ar
rival there to report by letter to the
Adjutant General. Gen. Grant there
upon issued special order assigning
Gen. Ord to the vacant command.
Gen. Buffers report on the Whining
ton failure is represented to be very
able and bitter, and it is intimated that
he does not stop short of open censure
of Gen. Grant. He has applied to the
War Department for leave to pass
through Washington on his way to
Lowell, and is waiting reply to his
application. 1t is understood that the
Administration is likely to open war
on Butler on the pecuniary questions.

tee on the Conduct of the War to in

For the seven years just ending,
Gen. William Duane Wilson, formerly
Of the Chicago Tribune, of which he
was one IF the founders, has filled the
Office Of SECRETARY Of the Agricu 4ural
College and Farm. He was elect ID to
this Office during the session Il the
General Assembly of 1853, and since
that time his name has been intimate
ly connected with all those topics of
public interest which bear on the agri-
cultural development of the State. As
q statistician he has few equals and
in this respect as well as many others,
he has received special commentator
from the Agricultural Department at
Washington. He has shown himself
to be an Industrious and methodical
worker, enthusiastic. in his devotion to
the interests Of the College, accurate
in his reports, and prudent in his sug-
gestions. The present week will close
his connection with the College, and
we understand that ina few days he
will take up temporary residence in
Washington city, whittier he has been
invited to assume a responsible posi-
ton in the Department of Agriculture.
He regards Iowa as his home, and will
return to Des Moines as the place of
his permanent residence, when his en-
gagememt at the Capital shall have
expired. We wish him abundant sue
cess. For years we have known him
and priced him for his many sterling
qualities of head and heart, and we
part with him with regret.-Des Moines
Register. "r "|
We, too, have known Gen. Wilson
long and well, and we copy the above
lor the purpose of endorsing in full all
that the Register says of him. He has
been indefatigable in his efforts to adj
vance the agricultural interests and
promote the general welfare Of Iowa,
and in this work has been eminently
successful. But since Congress made
the large grant Of lands to the State
for the promotion of agriculture, it
was deemed necessary that he should
be set aside in order to suit the pur-
poses Of the little clique Of pretended
agriculturists who, like leeches, have
fastened upon the college grant for
self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and private ends,
not one of whom can tell the difference
between Berkshire pig and hill OF
beans, and the work was done. I'm
less the farmers can be awakened
to their true interests, and the people
sufficiently aroused to protect them
selves in time, the Agricultural College
Grant will prove as great curse to
the State as the old Des Moines River
Grant. We congratulate Gen. Wilson
upon being called to an honorable and
important position at Washington so
well suited to his tastes and talents,
and rejoice that Iowa and her agricul-
tural interests will not be wholly with
out his fostering care. III. -,
