The News from Missouri. --We this morning
long before the subject of slavery became a bone of contention between the North and South, the political divisions of the day exhibited a striking tendency towards sectional antagonism, and there was manifest that hostility to slave institutions which, though not developed in an organized form until a much later period, must be allowed to have existed from the beginning in those communities where free labor was principally employed. At a later period, upon the question of the admission of Missouri, the contest between North and South was as fierce and portentous in all its aspects as it was during the last Presidential canvass. It is obvious that from the first it was an ill-assorted Union, and that, years ago, "Zekel Bigelow," the Yankee poet, came pretty near the truth in the following doggerel, only we wonder he and his countrymen, instead of taking his advice, are raising large armies and spending all they are worth to prevent the divorce of those whom Heaven never joined: "E
Affairs in Missouri.statement of the affair at Booneville — the defeat of the Federal troops, &c., &c. Mr. T. S. Davis, who reached this city yesterday afternoon, direct from St. Louis, furnishes the subjoined statement, which he says was supposed to be true at the time he left. It confirms us in the belief that the Black Republican controllers of the Western telegraph have wilfully misrepresented the facts: Richmond, Va.,June 24, 1861. I left St. Louis on Wednesday evening last, the 19th inst. We had received authentic news from the battle fought at Booneville on the morning of the 17th inst. Gen. Lyon, in command of 5,000 Federal troops, left St. Louis on the 15th inst. for Jefferson City; arrived on the 16th; took possession quietly without any resistance, where he left 2,000 of his troops under command of Col. Boernstein, and he (Gen. Lyon) continued on to Booneville, 40 or 50 miles above Jefferson City.--When arriving near Booneville, Gen. Price, in command of the
s mortal wound with a Minnie rifle. It is very possible that Captain Reische's wound occurred in the same way. The language of Governor Jackson, in his interview with the already notorious Lyon, Commander- in-Chief of the Federal forces in Missouri, has proved prophetic. He offered on the 11th of June, but six days before the Court-House massacre, to sacrifice everything excepting his individual honor "to avert the hourly danger of bloody disturbance." The United States Government has no more right to interfere with the internal affairs of Missouri than with those of France or Ireland; the Constitution distinctly prohibits its doing so; the Legislature of Jefferson City had invested the State Executive with power to drive the ruffianly invaders from the soil; yet Governor Jackson voluntarily offered to break up the State Guard organization, to exclude arms and munitions of war from the State, to repress every insurrectionary movement, to protect citizens of all parties alike, an
