May 31.--A strange spectacle was witnessed on the Illinois River a few days ago. In tow of the Resolute, going North, was a barge on which reposed a two-story fame house. This house is the property of a man who lived in it in St. Louis. Becoming alarmed at the late commotion, he had his house moved as stated, and taken to a free State. His family went along with him. While going up the river, the man's dog sat in the door, the cat reclined lazily at a window, and the good wife carried on the household work as usual.--N. Y. Commercial, June 3.

in a call upon the President of the United States for the appointment of a day for humiliation and prayer to Almighty God for a blessing on our country, and in answer to our prayers the fratricidal hand has thus far been withheld by a merciful Providence. Let us again unite our prayers and efforts for the restoration of peace and good will between the Northern and the Southern Confederacies. With the sincere hope that we may be able to congratulate you at our approaching Convention in St. Louis upon this auspicious result, we remain yours fraternally, Wm. P. Munford, Joel B. Watkins, Wm. H. Gwathmey. reply. New York, May 14, 1861. gentlemen: Your letter of the 6th inst. has just reached me. Like every other document which comes from the South, there is in your letter a mix. ture of truth and error. For instance, you say, Through the distorting medium of the press there is a misunderstanding between the North and the South. Now, it is true that the press has distorted

few forcible remarks to them. Go home, said he, raise to-morrow morning the flag of the Union, of your country; load up your weapons, and shoot the first man that tries to pull it down. Have nothing to do with traitors; don't work for them. If you want work, come, and I will give it to you. Loyal citizens shall be protected. As for those traitors, they will be set tomorrow to work wheeling dirt, and shall be kept at it until I get the balance of the witnesses, then I shall send them to St. Louis to be tried for treason. It was astonishing what effect this declaration had on them. One butternut-coated individual said he thought they would all take the oath; that they did not understand what it was before. The General pleasantly remarked that the prospect of wheeling dirt had suddenly convinced them of the duty they owed to the country that protected them, but it was now too late. He would not take the oaths of such men, who were only forced to take it for fear of punishment.

l the “New Market Races:” Then supersede Butler at once with whoever Can drive this Magruder clean into the river; And I shall be confident still to assert That the panic's fictitious, and nobody's hurt! 'Tis my province, perhaps, herein briefly to state The state of my provinces, surly of late, Missouri and Maryland--one has the paw Of my Lyon upon her; and one has the law Called martial, proclaimed through her borders and cities; Both are crushed, a Big Thing, I make bold to say, it is. St. Louis is silent and Baltimore dumb, They hear but the monotone roll of my drum. In the latter vile sea-port I ordered Cadwallader To manacle Freedom, and though the crowd followed her, Locked up in McHenry, she's safe, it is plain, With Merryman, Habeas Corpus, and Kane. And as for that crabbed old dotart, Judge Taney, For much I would put him on board of the Pawnee, And make his decisions a little more curt; For the panic's fictitious, and nobody's hurt! And now I'll just say what I'd have yo

-Mr. T. S. Davis, who reached Richmond, Va., on Monday afternoon, direct from St. Louis, furnishes the subjoined statement. It confirms us in the belief that the Blully misrepresented the facts:-- Richmond, Va., June 24, 1861. I left St. Louis on Wednesday evening last, the 19th inst. We had received authentic news frommorning of the 17th inst. Gen. Lyon, in command of 5,000 Federal troops, left St. Louis on the 15th instant for Jefferson City; arrived on the 16th; took possession iately after their defeat telegraphed to F. P. Blair, Jr., who had command in St. Louis, to send up all the forces he could possibly spare. Upon receipt of the despatch he sent up 3,000 troops from St. Louis, the evening before I left. Upon the reception of the news from Booneville, the secessionists in St. Louis turned out St. Louis turned out about 3,000 to 4,000 in number, greatly elated, and cheered for Jeff. Davis, Beauregard, and Gov. Jackson. They expected to make an attack upon the Dutch that night

one harmless shot at least; I gave you the benefit of two, and aimed a third at your engine, but the gun was ranged a little too high. I did not want to hit your boilers, and scald you all to death; but the next time I shall sink you at the second shot! For God's sake, don't trouble yourself, replied the captain; just send a small boy down to tap a drum whenever you want me, and I'll come to at once. Maj. Rawlings tells an anecdote in the same vein, of a prominent secession lawyer of St. Louis. Major, said he, lately, I am a choleric man, and I find it won't do. I am getting to have a profound respect for Minie bullets. Won't you do me the favor to get me one; and whenever I find my temper rising against the Dutch, I will put my hand in my pocket, and feel a bullet, and that will cool me off! The Major got the bullet for him, and the effect seems to be equal to the expectation. Certainly it is better to have one in the pocket than in the body, if the effect on one's loyalt

B S. Walcott, Esq., a wealthy manufacturer, and proprietor of the New York mills, presented to the Government a steamer now lying at St. Louis, which he says cost him last year $7,000. Gen. Prentiss, in command of the United States forces at Cairo, takes the responsibility of accepting the gift on behalf of the Government, remarking that a good steamboat is and has been in constant need at that post, and has been obtained at an exorbitant rent.--Louisville Courier, July 11.
