for secession; but it is very remarkable that he should undertake not only to say that she would be ready to secede in thirty days, but further, that she will secede, when in fact your Convention, at that time, stood adjourned to the 3d Monday of December next. His declaration, that the State would secede is made, doubtless, upon some plan of his own, independent of the Convention. Nine days after this letter to the President of the Arkansas Convention, he wrote another, addressed to J. W. Tucker, Esq., the editor of a secession newspaper in St. Louis. This letter is dated April 28, 1861. The writer says: I do not think Missouri should secede to-day or to-morrow, but I do not think it good policy that I should so openly declare. I want a little time to arm the State, and I am assuming every responsibility to do it with all possible despatch. Again he says: We should keep our own counsels. Everybody in the State is in favor of arming the State, then let it be done. All are

the Northern people, who are prepared to invade our homes, and they are meeting it like men who have as much at stake as others. Reference was made last week to the fact that there were three ministers in one of the companies of Home Guards formed in this place. In the other company there are two ministers. The last North Carolina Christian Advocate, referring to this subject, says: The Rev. Messrs. Atkinson, Presbyterian; Fitzgerald and Smedes, Episcopal; James and Skinner, Baptist; J. W. Tucker, Methodist, and one of the editors of this paper have attached themselves to the Home Guard, a company organized in this city, under the command of Senator Bragg, for the defence of our homes. The other editor of this journal is aiding in forming a similar company near his residence in the country. Rev. Willis L. Miller, formerly one of the editors of the North Carolina Presbyterian, is the captain of the Thomasville Rifles, which company has offered its services to the State. A lett

hat under another relief act, approved January 3, 1863, amounted to $500,000. Col. Wm. Preston Johnston, in his report above referred to, has this to say of our people: The broad hospitality and unwavering kindness of the people of Mississippi were extended to our sick soldiers with a liberality so bountiful that the thanks of our whole people are due to them. No eulogy could do them justice. The Daily Southern Crisis, a newspaper published at Jackson, Miss., by that staunch patriot, J. W. Tucker, in its issue of March 28, 1863, says: The wheat crop in Mississippi looks very promising—in fact it could not be better. There is a large surface of our soil in wheat, promising flour in abundance after the May harvest. If there are no more frosts this State will furnish wheat enough to supply half the Confederacy in flour for the next year; * * * but a small crop of cotton planted, which shows the good sense of our people.

stances Stanley retreated towards Kansas City and reported the affair, when Capt.

Very interesting. --The Richmond correspondent of the Columbia Guardian furnishes the following incident of the return of the late United States Consul to Liverpool: Rev. Tucker arrived in town day before yesterday direct from Paris via London and Liverpool. He came to Canada and by way of Detroit and Indianapolis, through Kentucky and Tennessee, meeting with some droll adventures on route. Assuming another name, he had no sooner landed in Quebec than he stumbled upon old Giddings,ebec than he stumbled upon old Giddings, to whom he was perfectly well known in Washington. "How d'ye do, Mr. Tucker," said the old wretch. "Oh — ah," said Rev.," staring him directly in the face, and speaking in a broad English drawl, "Weally, my dear sir, you mistake the individually." "I beg pardon, " said Giddings, whereupon Rev. walked off and saw no more of the Consul to Canada. Had he betrayed his identity by a moment's forgetfulness, Giddings would have had him arrested at Detroit.

lling him and his company of regulars to join his regiment, the 2d U. S. Infantry, at Washington. Respectable authority says Colonel Siegel will be promoted to be a Brigadier General. The train on the North Missouri Railroad, conveying a detachment of Colonel Smith's Regiment of Zouaves, were fired into yesterday from the woods skirting the road twenty miles above St. Charles, and two troops severely wounded. The report that Senator Green had violated his parole is untrue. J. W. Tucker, the late editor of the State Journal, is making violent Secession speeches in the country. Colonel Steifit, of the 5th Regiment of reserve corps, arrived from Lexington to-day, and reports having captured 200 kegs of powder, 30 muskets, 1 cannon, a quantity of machinery for boring, and a mould for casting cannon, and several other contraband articles.

The army Argus. --We are indebted to the Hon. T. C. Johnson, late State Senator from the city of St. Louis, for a copy of the Missouri "Army Argus," a diminutive news sheet, published in the camp at Springfield. The paper is edited by J. W. Tucker, well known as the editor of the Missouri "State journal, " a paper which exercised such great Southern influence in St. Louis, that it was suppressed by the Federal authorities and its editor driven away.

The Trans-Mississippi Department A letter appears in the Mississippian from Mr. J. W. Tucker, and editor of talents and said to be a gentleman of respectable standing making some statements that, if true, merit the immediate attention of the War Department. He commences by alluding to the reports put forth at the time Kirby Smith was ordered to the Trans-Mississippi Department, and when he was preceded a few days by Gen. Price, that Gen. Smith was to have supreme command and that Gen Pricnant feeling through the country. General Holmes is by many considered an effete commander, belonging to the class of officers who did mischief around this city during the terrible battles which were to decide its fate through their want of activity and promptness. When he was sent to the trans Mississippi the army here was certainly not at all grieved. But if he has been the mar-plot in Arkansas that Mr. Tucker alleges, it were better that he had staid here The facts deserve investigation.
