ST. LOUIS, April 20.-A special to the Demo-

essentially unchanged. The presence of Unit

Crowds throng the streets eager to learn of the
projected movements. The insurgent leaders
mostly privately, express themselves disguised
with the insane policy and conflicting counsels
coupled with the indecison of Baxter and
some of his ardent supporters and best fighting
material have gone home with the avowed pur-
pose Of pursuing their regular avocations
About noon yesterday some twenty colored
troops, disarmed and held under guard by Bax-
ter, broke through the lines and Joined Brooks
forces at the State House. The moral and ma

in the city and State, is offered to Brooks in
abundance, and he is as secure of his position

high prerogatives.

Brooks has promptly acquiesced in the order
of Col. Rose, directing all armed men to be
kept off the streets. He has withdrawn his
sentinels from the State House grounds, but
maintains warlike attitude within the CAPT.
toll. A shout to-day from amidst the crowd on
the streets that the insurgents were coming,
produced an electric effect at the State House.
In an instant the barricades were swarming
with musketty-feld pieces manned, and win
dows filled with determined defenders, and the
entire garrison were alert and determined for q
fight. The alarm was false, but the effect was
very suggestive Late dispatches from Wash

that Baxter, in putting himself above the ,aws,
has undertaken a task that must prove disas-

Gov. Kellogg issued a proclamation to the

HAYDN CoNcERT.-Although the Haydn's
were greeted by quite large audience last
night the storm prevented numbers from at
tending who were DESTROYS of so doing, and the
hall was not filed. The programmes were got
ten up very neatly, after the manner of those
of the Apollo Club of Boston. The first piece
was ga Song for Easter" by Kotzschmar, Civ
en- by the full chorus with fine effect. Number
two was bass solo by Mr. G. H. Mcclellan of
Bath, which was well calculated to show to ad-
vantage the fine qualities of his powerful voice,
it being the aria from Handeps Messiah, "Why
do the nations" Number three was a piano
solo by Miss Leach, Portland lady, and one
of Kotzschmar's pupils, who did herself inf
mite credit Number four was the qusrtette
Here in cool grot," an old English glee, which
was sung with such fine effect at the concert
given at Chestnut street church last week by
Mrs. Wetherbee, Mrs. Cloudy, Messrs. Coyle
and Pennell, who also formed the quartette on
this occasion. Number five was the song by
GAM, "Sing, sweet bird" sung by Miss Staples
Her voice is clear soprano, which evinces the
most careful training, and of which the deive-
ry was most perfect. She received an enthusi-
astic encore and lovely bouquet of rosebuds.
Number six was the song "Spring Greeting"
by N w. Gade, sung by the Society in full
chorus.
Part number III consisted of the much talked
of and long looked for Dettengen "Te Deum''
of Handel. the difficulties of which have been
triumphantly overcome by the Haydns. The
different portions of the chorus were perfect in
their accord, and the effect of their comming-
ling was grand in the extreme. The solos were
perfectly rendered, though they sounded rather
weak after the magnificent volume of sound of
the chorus. The whole performance was one
of the richest musical treats that we have en-
joyed for some time. There was, however, one
drawback to our full enjoyment it was the
great preponderance of the sopranos, they SEEM
ing to US to be out of proportion to the rest of
the chorus. The concert was conducted by Mr..
and the accomplishments, which
were extremely difficult, were played by Miss
Lizzie DYER
