St. Louisans thinking that Reavis' scheme
to move the Nationa Capitol to the "Future
Great City" will fail, have concluded to
convene as many Congressman in that city
- will consent to go in Convention. The
Congressional meeting is perhaps the mex,
best thing, and altogether may crafty the
desire Of 81. Louis capitalists, and serve the
country just as we'll as moving the Capitol,
and that, too, without any drain npon the
National Treasury. We will reld the pro-
ceedings OF the Convention with no little in
terest, not because We have special or undue
admiration for speeches and resolutions, but
to ascertain il the quality or style Of oratory
which our Congres-men give grstnitously to
assembled 81. Louisans ia superior TO that
paid for by the niti,n when Congress il in
regular session.

gether in St. Louis to-day, consult each other
deliberately to promote Western Interests, and
after deciding upon the kind of legislation
most needed for the good Of the West, solid
y organize, and resoluiely determine to carry
their measures through Congress. the most
happy re.u!ts may follow the convention
Let US hope that good sense, good order and
good feeling will prevail, and that no, only
the West bat the South, North AID Eas, will
be benefited by the action of the convention.
To our mind the interests Of the people Of
the East and those Of the Wet are no, an
tsgonistic. Monopolies, however, sustained
and strengthened by Eastern capital oppress
the Western farmer, and make him feel t.,st
no community Ct interests exists between
himself and his Eastern neighbers.

Nor has society been able to resist the
strongest Of our warriors, the fair daughters
of our land. In more than one princely pal
ace beauty now reigns, who was, not long
ago, ardently worshiped at Saratoga and
Long Branch, and happily disposes with the
came native grace the inequalities OF her
gorgeous mansion here which she showed in
her happy home beyond the ocean. Only a
few days ago, one of the Oldest and most
magnificent houses of Roman Princes was
opened to select company of Italisns and
Americans, specially invited TO tnjov the
performance of a charming comedy ("Cross
Purpose'') written for the purpose by our
gifted Sory. A fair lady, we'll known for
the almost marvellous versatility Of her tai
ents, played the principal part, while others
were filled nv friends Of the house, and the
whole proved aource Of high and most re-
fined enjoyment. Rumor has il that the
charming daughter of our General Of the
army accomplshes many conquest by her
matches grace and marvelously winning
manners, a. her illustri0ns father did at the
head of his army, and that more than one
ducal crown has already been laid at her
feet. The beauty and the rare tact OF our
fair countrvwomen are veri,ahle godsends to
the good Romans, who have few subjects Of
conversation, read little, and dare no; touch
politics.

There is more than grain of truth in III

Iowa, on being asked his opinion concern
ing the St. Louis Convention. He said he
had no faith in s.. louis capacity TO help
herself or the West, and that if she had been
rs industrious as Chicago in developing rail-
ways, the present cry Of monopoly and high
tariff would not have been heard. What
has ST. Louis to say to this ?

MERCANTILE DISTRESS IMMINENT.

MERCANTILE DISTRESS IMMINENT
Prominent citizens from ST. Mary repor,
that all the people in the Teche section who
have been in arms against the State govern
ment are willing to submit to the law, but
pride prompts them to hold out in the hope
that they can at last formally surrender to
United States troops. General Smith will
cheerfully accommodate them, IA usual. In
any event, they will soon retire peaceably TO
their homes.
Great alarm il felt at the prospective exo-
dus OF the colored people from the A,takapss
parishes, and planters find that in violating
the law they risked the ruin of their corps
ruin which must invole many of the mer-
chants Of New Orleans who have subscribed
funds to the revolutioni.ts. We sincerely
hope, not withdrawing such retribution
would be we'll deserved, that a timely sub
mission BY the rioters to the legal officers Of
the government will avert the threatened
calamity.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
About five o'clock last evening, Governor
Kellogg had occasion to visit the office of
the Morgan Steamship Company, en- Maya
zine street, corner of Naichez alley, and
vas driven thi,her in company with Mr..
Norton in his cab. He left his team stand
ing before the door and went into the build
ing, remaining there come little time. On
coming out he noticed quite number Of
persons standing around, and one of them,
Colonel Charles K. Railey, party holding
commission from McEnery as tax collecso,
Of the Fint District, stepped up to the Gov
ernor and asked him if he was Mr.. Kellogg.
The Governor replied that he was Colonel
Railay then addressed some offensive re-
marks to the Governor. The latter replied,
81 do not know you, sir" and stepped down
into his carriage. TIE driver started the
team, but it had gone only few feet before
a shot was fired through the leather top of
the buggy, the ball grazing Governor kel-
log, and clipping the hair on his neck. The
driver Immediately drove at rapid pace
through st. Charles street to the ST. Charles
Hotel, where the Governor dismounted and
dismissed his team. He subsequently, visited
the headquarters Of Gen. Emory.
This dastardly attempt upon the life of
Governor Kellogg created profound senti-
ment of horror ard indignation among all
classes Of people, more especially since it
subsequently trsnspired that this was part
of conspiracy which had been concoc;ed to
inaugurate an area Of assassination closely
upon the heels of riot and pillage.
The parties to this conspiracy are well
known in this city. Their operations have
been long under surveillance, and the at
tempt at murder yesterday Is the overt act,
which will result in prompt and stringent
measures being taken with the intended as
sassins by the officers of the law.

the names Of the victims ofthe vendetta, and
the oaths of solemn secrecy required and

The surveillance of the authorities over this
organization Is complete, and the names of

FORCED DISPATCH.

The rebels against the State government
have re-orted to the stupid practice of forg.
ing military dispatches. The following,
which appeared in the Pieayme yesterday
morning, ia a sample:
The following dispatch from General W.
T. Sherman was received at late hour last
night:

The President directs me to say to Won
that he deprecates an aggressive policy, and
that the United States authorities are not to
be used except in an emergency.
The officers in command of the depart
ment in which Louisiana is included has
been sent full instructions in regard to the
course the President desires him to pursue
You will, therefore, take no action which
would require the sanction of the President
without orders from the headquarters
w. T. SHERMAN, General.
No such dispatch has been received by
Governor Kellogg, and Mr.. Flannery, SUI
perin.endent of the telegraph, informs Mr..
Clarke, the Governors private secretary,
that no such dispatch has been received at
the telegraph office. The readers of the
Pedyuae have been abused, either by some
outside parties or BY one of Its own employees.
DISPATCHES FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Attorney General Williams yesterday sent
dispatches to Governor Kellogg and Marshal
Packard, declaring the dispatch as published
