life would have been spared. And we believe, moreover, that the North would have been right, as we believe that the South would have been, if a had pursued such a course. We are quite sure that the forbearance of the South has had no other effect than to exasperate and embolden a cowardly and cruel foe to fresh acts of barbarity and oppression. Our prisoners put in irons and threatened with death; peaceable citizens arrested and sent to Fort Lafayette; the proclamation of martial law in Missouri, where every man who takes up arms for his freedom is menaced with instant death; the preparations to bombard and lay in ashes the city of Baltimore upon the approach of a Confederate force; these, and a thousand like instances of unexampled barbarity, show that the mild and merciful course of the Southern Government has been imputed to fear by men who themselves never abstain from evil except under the same principle. It is not at all surprising that among the prisoners themselves the

The war in Missouri. St. Louis, Sept. 14. --Gen. Raines is reported to be 40 miles from Lexington with 15,000 men. Tom Harris has captured a Government Agent in Boone county, and took from him a number of horses. Intelligence from Hudson, Missouri, states that Martin Green had crossed the Missouri at Glasgow with 3,500 men, and seized the steamer Sunshine, and used her for transporting troops. He captured a guard of 14 Federals, and released a number of Secession prisoners. The Sunshine was laden with bacon, sugar, &c., and 600 stand of arms. [second Dispatch.] St. Louis, Sept. 14. --Gen. Price's advance guard is at Warrensburg. Price claims to have 16,000 in his main body, and is approaching Lexington. The same messenger brought Price's official account of the battle at Fort Scott on the 4th of September. The forces under Gens. Lane and Montgomery, at the Junction, retreated after a skirmish of an hour and a half. Price's loss was 3 killed and

Forward to New Orleans. --The New York Herald has exchanged the old war cry of "On to Richmond!" to "Forward to New Orleans, down the Mississippi!" It has now discovered that a victory over the rebel host on the Potomac would not end the war, but the true direction, "to make short work," is to take the long route, "down the Mississippi." As a preliminary to this, Missouri and Kentucky, it insists, must be secured from a fire in the rear. Fremont must be heavily reinforced, and then press down the Mississippi, whilst the Atlantic and Gulf seaboard must be assailed and a column landed in Mexico to cross the frontier of Texas. "The most effectual way, perhaps, of defending Washington, capturing Richmond and subduing Virginia, is by the way of the Mississippi." Attacked, in the seaboard, the Gulf, and the Mississippi says the Herald, "the rebels will retreat rapidly southward to defend their homes, and will leave Virginia to her fate." By the first of November, Mr. Secretary Welle

Missouri. --The Northern telegraphic accounts from Missouri are altogether unreliable. We have no idea that our cause there is retrograding, notwithstanding the retreat of McCulloch to Arkansas. From accounts received by telegraph here, it is evident that both Green and Price are doing good service. McCulloch's withdrawalMissouri are altogether unreliable. We have no idea that our cause there is retrograding, notwithstanding the retreat of McCulloch to Arkansas. From accounts received by telegraph here, it is evident that both Green and Price are doing good service. McCulloch's withdrawal is merely temporary and for a good reason, intended to give his next advance increased potency and effect. General A. S. Johnston will soon add new spirit and efficiency to the operations in Missouri. rom accounts received by telegraph here, it is evident that both Green and Price are doing good service.

Discontinuing mails in Missouri. Washington, Sept. 14. --The Postmaster General has advised that no mails be sent over the St. Josephs and Hannibal railroads, and the prospect of the resumption of mail service on those roads is very unsatisfactory.

hat he was taken prisoner. A man, supposed to be a spy, was arrested to-day in the neighborhood of the Chain Bridge, and was taken to the headquarters of Gen. Smith, heavily ironed. Everything has been remarkably quiet in the neighborhood of Bailey's and Ball's Cross-Roads. The residence of Mr. Ball, to the right of Ball's Cross-Roads, is alternately occupied by our pickets and those of the Confederates--ours during the day and theirs at night. Federal accounts of affairs in Missouri. St. Louis, Sept. 11. --Dr. Franklin, Surgeon of Gen. Lyon's Brigade, arrived from Springfield to- day, and reports that all the Federal wounded remaining at that place have been retained by order of the rebel commander, and are held as hostages for the safety of the Secessionists now in the hands of the Federal authorities. Dr. Franklin was told that for every rebel shot or hung under Fremont's recent proclamation one of our wounded soldiers would be shot. Captain Kidd, o

Later from Missouri--reply to the tyrant--Gen. Jeff. Thompson's proclamation. The following proclamation was furnished the Memphis Appeal of the 12th.

To all whom it may Concern: Whereas, Major-General John C.
